I'm Not Sure

The northern star has left its path
before it went out and all turned black
but death is all I follow now
but I’m not sure
If I can’t find my way out
I’ll beg that it would drench my doubt
but dust is all that lingers on
but I’m not sure
If I make it to the promised land
I’m not sure if he’d hold my hand
cause death is all that’s on my mind
but I’m not sure

And when moonlight comes
It shines upon the bleached white bones
of all past warm suns
and blinds all the light I once knew
and sits in silence and a darkness so blue
And it’s been so long
since I’ve been awake
without a drink or a song
and mute are the notes I once knew
I sit in silence and darkness so blue
and what am I just going to do?
I sit in silence and a darkness so blue

Love Song
05:38
|
|||
My blood is running cold
as she takes off her clothes
and all I think is how I can get back on the road
cause even though you left
it feels like stepping out
and all I taste is regret in the smell of doubt
cause how can a love song be true without you?
And passing cars paint a picture through the ceiling fan
and her charcoal hair still burns my trembling hand
cause even though you left
it feels like Brutus’ knife
up in your back
and I realize that how can a love song be true without you?
The morning sun reflects
in her ozone eyes
and my guilt lingers on
from her ivory thighs
but how can a love song be true without you?
how can my love song be true without you?

She couldn’t keep her promise of finishing the book
and you stood her, right beside her,
while I stood quietly
at the door
lonely
in the oncology
You kissed her for the last time
I didn’t know what to do
so I embraced the both of you
and realized within
You’ll never be your mother’s child
in her eyes again
You’ll never be your mother’s child
in her arms again

Snow Wind
04:37

Well it’s so hard
to write all this down
when spring passes by
and winter’s still here
and it takes its crown
and I just woke up
and the first thing I see
are your sad blue eyes
but if you’d only feel better
we could run the whole way down
yeah if you’d only read my letters
you’d know why I can’t be around
All I know
is that I can’t go on
to live in a place
where there’s only memories
in which I don’t belong
cause I can’t be yours
your just a glint
while I am the snow
that goes with the wind
Only feel better
we could run the whole way down
If you’d only read my letters
you’d know why I can’t be around

Mirrored Eyes

She prayed for better days to come
she prayed a lot these days
He went to drink away the sorrow
he drank a lot these days
And we watched it all
all the longing and the alcohol
She read a letter from her mom
she asks if she’s alright
She answers that the city is never sleeping
that there is always light, somewhere
And we watched it all
all the longing and all the alcohol
all the wishes and all the cries
in our mirrored eyes

Verses From A Hospital
04:27
|
|||
Saw you there kneeling
right to your chair
folding your hands
and I tried not to stare
at the bad prognosis
doctors hung there
being so proud
that you di not care
And I’ll do anything for you
And I waited here
since I got the call
about your long way down
into the hospital
and I saw the scars
as you waved your hands
I didn’t know where to look
I was standing on the bends
Oh I’ll do anything for you
As they turned off the lights
I’ll hide in the closet
to hold you the whole night
it’s the way I have chosen
and I promised you
to be there all the time
I’ll sneak in the closet
I’ll hide in the grime
to watch you
to hold you
to be there while you pray
and if your eyes shut
I’ll kneel down and say
“I’ll do anything for you“

Prague
03:00
|

I remember days
I remember hay in the August sun
I remember long ways
that we crossed when we were young
I remember your words so childish and so full of hope
I remember your face
I remember the promise I broke
And I wondered
do you still think
of the village
of the fields
that we’ve sunk in?
I remember your face
I remember your struggle wet hair
as we were in Prague
and I wished I could disappear
I remember I once wanted to live with you all my life
in the little wood house
I never wanted to rise
from the summer
into the rain
from this love
from this summer
into the rain
