Parity
03:30

I run alone
But you make me wanna walk with you
And I’m safe at home
But you make me wanna leave
And I have my doubts
But somehow you quiet them
A silent mind
For the first time
Part of me’s afraid
That if I choose to walk with you
That I will leave
A part of me behind
But if I say
I’m here on your side
Would you be
On my side too?
Would you get lost with me?
Would you show me parity?
Could you get lost with me?
Find a way with me?
Run away with me
Come with me now
And drown out my fears with me
And yes they ring loud
But I can’t hear them with you
Can you show me
A new way that we can be
Whole and side by side
Sometimes you just have to trust
Would you get lost with me?
Would you show me parity?
Could you get lost with me?
Find a way with me
Run away with me

About the Rain
03:55

Shallow waters kept us high and dry
Til the clouds rolled in to spoil the sky
Your eyes saw more than mine could conceal
And if I hold your gaze I hope I heal
Our smiles were sore our faces worn
The sky had torn
So let the water fall
Let the water fall
Let it rain down on me
Let it let me scream
Echoing silently
Finding new ways to breathe
Let the fall forgive it all
I have felt the world’s weight on my shoulders
And as it span I turned older and colder and older and colder
Time revealed more than I dared to know
As I question the answers I gave long ago
Our smiles were sore our faces worn
The sky had torn
So let the water fall
Let the water fall
Let the waterfall take me away

Find Myself Lost
03:16
|

|
Quiet memories collide
They trace the turning of the tide
We knew that innocence was frail
We mixed emotions, fear and lust
The habits turned to instincts turned to dust
Temptation roamed to twist the tale
You couldn't face solitude alone
Now I know your face better than my own
So I'll run, run like I can hide
To a place where hopes and fears collide
And I'll find myself lost
I'll find myself lost
We can't relive a pretence
That our reality made sense
So kill the chorus of fire
Stuck in your mirror I was free
Only to reflect what I could see
Now shattered I'll be cursed til thoughts expire
Memories fade as I take time
Still I know your face better than I know mine
I'll back up til I back down
And I'll be blinded by that sound
Still I'll run like I can hide
But as I close my eyes
I see yours
So I'll run, run like I can hide
I'll run, run like I can hide

Mirage
04:26
|

|
Let the light refract
Keep illusions intact
Our purpose and delight
Will pass with the night
The surface holds relief
From all that lies beneath
Let's take to the stage of sabotage
Get lost in our Mirage
I know my eyes deceive me
And I know this ends where it begins
I will chase the light until it fades
Until you touch me and I don't feel a thing
Illuminations left their mark
They only dazzled in the dark
Now I'm cold from the light of day
As it melts facades away
I can't be smitten and content
I have only desired through a lament
When the burning questions take charge
And take us back to our Mirage
And I miss you like I never knew you
And I'm sure I never really did
And I can't remember how it felt to kiss you
Do you?
Do you?

Rising Gravity
03:04

|
I wear my heart on the outside
I cut my teeth now I smile wide
It’s a new kind of real life
I dream of you in black and white
From the corners of my mind
You talked about me now so do I
And I hear you
I know you
I hear I know
I I I I I I
I’m rising
Tell me about gravity
I’m rising
Tell me about the fall
I’m rising
Tell me all I won’t be
I’m rising
Cos I have heard it all
And I know you
I’m just skin and meat and bones
Like everyone that I have ever known
And I know more than I’ve been shown
I hear you whisper in my ear
Words I used to know to fear
Now come and dance with me my dear
And I hear you
I know you
I hear I know
I I I I I I
I’m rising

Runaway
03:02
|
|||
|
You kissed me and it hurt
You kissed me and it hurt
I saw the bubble burst
I watched the bubble slowly burst
Now my familiar ground has gone
That hollow ground
Swallowed me down
Maybe I should run away
Don't know why I'm still here
What do you have over me?
What will it take (for me) to disappear
Make me run away
Make me a runaway
You touched me and it burned
You touched me and it burned
And I didn't pull away
And now I feel so much worse
And that familiar ground has gone
That hollow hole
Swallowed me ... whole
What
What if
What if I
What if I run
What if I run to
What if I run to you

Iceberg

Keep your eyes on the tip of the iceberg
Don’t feel the dark and cold
Don’t look beneath the beautiful
Touch don’t hold
Keep your eyes at the tip of the iceberg
Keep your eyes on the blues and whites
Watch the glimmer on the surface
Dance in the light
But I want / But I want / But I want
But I want you closer
I want to feel the fall
I want you to see it all
Like noone’s ever known this before
Hold me while I fall
Hold me while I file
If you don’t look beyond the tip of the iceberg
If I hide what lies beneath
I can only drown in
Secrets I keep
And I want / And I want / And I want / And I want
I want you closer
And I want / And I want / And I want
To bring you closer
I want to feel the fall
I want you to see it all
Like noone’s ever been here before
Hold me while I fall
Hold me while I file
Would you would you would you would you
Could you could you could you could you
Would you would you would you would you
hold me when I fall

Human Animals
03:14
|

|
My heart beats so loud I can’t hear what my head says
When nothing has changed but nothing is the same
We’re intertwined
But as the world spins, we unwind
And you can’t help how you feel
We’re animals
I feel you here still I crave your touch
And as I feel nothing -
it means so much
Your hollow lies echo in mine
Can we call a truce
And I can’t help how you feel
We’re animals
So push the sparks til they collide
Force the stars til they align
Rearrange the pathways of our minds
In our attempts to be human
But we’re only human
Now your eyes can wander my body can roam
You make your escape and I find my way alone
We can’t help how we feel
We’re animals
