Circles 04:28
See the world in brilliant pieces, Living life alone as one Back and forth we move in circles But we’re still here Twenty-six you start the motion Scraping rust off tired bones Back and forth we move in circles But you’re still here Sixty-five you’re losing traction Losing sight, you’re losing time Back and forth we move in circles But you’re still here But it’s all inside And it’s all in your mind Someday it will be perfect We’re living in circles Just give it time We’ll make it perfect We’re living in circles Move on in time

Summer 04:00
Sunburnt and twenty-three, curious hazel eyes When the moonlight pierced her freckled skin It pales all aside Brown hair with lips so thick And words that cut so deep Hands that kept you safe And build you up inside We spent all of summer running From fears we left behind Though it never rained in open fields We feared cold all the time When we grew tired, we fell on fields And drowned in silent laughter Then it was gone Gone, say I’ve failed She’s so sure of it
3.
Home 04:39
So we set off with the winds With our backs leaned against the Sun Heavyhearted kind of sin Broken cage, now it’s all undone Streaks of fire cross the sky Carry hopes across waves of tired tides Keep it simple, keep it clean The honest wishes tend to shine within Sail beneath the winds Don’t be fooled by false times Held beneath the runes We found shelter from fine lines So are you coming home After where you’ve been Where the skies are true And fields are made of dreams When are you coming home After what you’ve seen Have you lost yourself Or have you clipped your wings
4.
Silence 04:42
Feel I’m getting old I feel like losing It heals with time it says I do what I’m told But it’s not working It’s not my time and place White purple and gold A flag of heavens They heal with time they say It’s not lucid and safe But I’m still searching Am I the fool that haunts this place She’ll be coming So stay with me Unassuming, quietly When my whole world crumbles within Just stay with me Show some human sympathy When my whole world crumbles within
5.
Fall 04:09
She smiles at me At my funny idiosyncrasies I lose my turn At keeping awkward conversations You stop and see But your eyes don’t even notice me Am I good enough My colors are fading, as it seems I hope you see I fall in love There are signs, that I’m in falling mode There are signs, that I’m slipping out of control And it’s weird, cause I thought that I could hold my own And it’s you, that’s making me fall
6.
Lights 04:45
Burning men, they’re waving fondly Truth in disguise Green expressions, seem to soothe me Truth in disguise One too many living monsters Reside in your head Lonely creatures suffocate you Reside in your space We found the lights Dancing faces cross the skies Cause its wasted, when you’re jaded And it eats you to the bone Cause its wasted, when you’re faded And it won’t leave you alone Cause its wasted Then you’ll be left alone
7.
Stars 03:06
The Stars will fall
8.
Winter 02:53
Winter lands on summer state Cold as ice and day Frozen frames set on replay Settling dust in play Chill your spine and ice your bones Flakes of ice that stay Quench your lust and you’ll search no more Drench your thirst and the weight dissolves Stand by windows, stand by your doors Cause there’s nothing that gets me anymore Loosen your hopes, drown out that glow Cause there’s nothing that gets me anymore
9.
Oceans 04:26
My greatest fear of living will be at death Want to see the edge of Oceans to know I’ve walked enough I would have run enough to return to your arms my dear I don’t know much but I just want my heart to be Like cold water, time’s slipping through my catch But we’ll keep this act up Though I’m lost at Sea I don’t mind sailing Oceans There are some things I can find with a little patience There are no words to say To describe your eyes Cause darling, you’re the Sea You’re the Ocean
10.
Spring 03:58
Find a body numb with scars Take it on, you take it far It doesn’t feel pain anymore It’s built walls in the dark Spring it out of its old cell Give it hope and make it count The breath of seasons can’t deny its past It’s still broken into parts Won’t you believe I’m a damaged work of art Won’t you believe I’m in need of a gentle touch I’ll call you over When my lights seem to want to fade again I’ll call you over When my nights seem too long to wait in vain Too much emotion, I’ve got too much to lose Won’t you spring me out of here
11.
Cycles 02:56
Soar upon the trees as they’re withered They will grow, as they turn old Stroll along the rivers as they dwindle They grow slow as it turns cold Feel the chilling breeze in your fingers It starts to snow, as it gets cold Hold the Sun’s possessions with its glow dust The land grows dark, and moonlight glows We love, we miss We break, and start again It’s cast in stone
