On Days Like Today
We Will Never Speak of It Again

What will become of us
A choking light in a shallow day?
What will become of us
Replacing wonder with decay
Sometimes I wonder
Do I sleep only when you're away
Arising once I've left your grave
I left a light there
Now its gone
Absorbed by the same God
That took you from us
I have a hard time looking past
The hymns we used to sing
And what they now really mean
My eyes begin to ache at the thought of yours
Yet I stare in search of nothing more
And when I wonder off into the sky
I notice it was all in your eyes
Everything I used to want
The dreams I left asleep
The love I tried so hard to keep
When you left, it was the first thing to leave
I never really tried to keep it near me
It will be the death of me

My faith is broken
My eyes swollen
My hand aches from writing out your name
Coughed into my buried lungs
Are all his words that I've come to hate
Contradictions in silver light
Constant wonders at what you might
Have to say if you were still here
What would you say if you were still here?
A year ago I knew who I was
Years ago there was nothing here but love
Drowning in the static of your aftermath
I'm late to learn of every line
I should not have crossed
Would I still have lost you somewhere
Above and Below?
My ambitions bring everything I've ever loved
Down to the ground
Yea, you were better, yea you were wiser, but at the time
You couldn't make a sound
You tried to tell me in deep sleep
But I was found to be obsolete
Searching blindly through dying lands
My starving heart found your strangled hands
And we fell away

Heaven In Our Minds
04:42
|

We were carried along as children by the hand
With the world far ahead of us
And leaflets dancing behind
As we grew so too did the world
The clouds above deeper, and our bones more resilient
With the passing winds
A hurricane inside us
Cascades of rainfall caressed our anxious hearts
Yet just as the blankets were lifted
Our eyes would open
To see the sun no longer high above
And our hopes no longer before us
Our dreams went into hibernation
As the bear in the cold
Tucked away
Hungry
Two wandering spirits in a desolate pasture
No eyes to guide us or wisdom to inspire
The night called our names and buried them deep
We listened close for the chance of aid
With birds overhead the lightning sky set fire to midnight
Our souls were saved
We awoke to find
Nothing ever changed at all

Promises
04:21

When I arrive
Will you remember what I look like?
Or am I one to be ignored
If I'm alright
And there is still light outside
Where is yours?
Your home is far away
As far as your touch from my hands
Your voice distant
Distant from my head
I can't make it out
But I live to try

Leaflets
04:49
|
|||
In hazel night I often feel
The phantoms of your garden
Dancing on my bones
It weighs me down
And carries me
To slow lights
Not with any wonder
Or any word
Should I see your eyes
Without my own reflection
Staring back
Draining away at the rain
Which held us in the ether
Forevermore
Should I see your eyes
Without my own reflection?

June

I'm past the point of your returning
Stuck inside, forever yearning
Never learning
I fear this is the sum of me
Seeing all our wishes bloom in black and white
Too late and too soon
The give and take of fleeting life and you ask me
"What's worth fighting for?"
"Always more"
More days under shade with you
More words I know are true
More times I could realize
I am the gleaming in your eye
I would swim into the clouds to see you smile
I would dive into the earth to gain a little while longer
If only to see you smile again
Just to gain a little while longer
