Lockdown 03:48
lyrics

all the words that you say, say nothing at all you lock me out when it rains and i feel so small no surprise that lately i’m not taking your calls i need a chance to breathe can’t you see? we’re in the middle of a lockdown let me be, before i fall into a breakdown i need a quiet place to gather thoughts and dreams whenever i see your face, they drift away it seems so i decide to replace every part of me before the day i lose them all can’t you see? we’re in the middle of a lockdown let me be, before i fall into a breakdown

The Storm 04:58
lyrics

the memory of a scattered dream had left a melancholy sketch of blue and green your image grown just ten years more speaking the loneliness you’d never known before and like the gently falling early summer rain, your hair cascaded down your face the day dripped sunlight through those honey curls, mmm, and the weight of the world the sunlight soft upon your skin promise of better days was swept into the wind i embraced the silence of your walls the seasons spinning through the mist and one to fall your pools of jade refracted sky and sea and all the truths of in-between you couldn’t hide the storm in your eyes, stealing time and like the gently falling early summer rain, your hair cascaded down your face the day dripped sunlight through those honey curls, mmm, and the weight of the world your pools of jade refracted sky and sea and all the truths of in-between you couldn’t hide the storm in your eyes, stealing time

Windmill Army 05:38
lyrics

indecisive, careless and free we set out on the open road with a couple of bags of nothing we’ll need i know we were too tired to breathe, woah for a good cause we make these sacrifices the sky mirrored your eyes i found my dreams in those clouds and the windmill army was looming ahead from the distance, woah coming closer, closing in on us gonna swallow us whole... but some stood motionless like wounded soldiers on the battlefield why is this taking so long? i didn’t know it would be like this you said “let’s take five” i wanted one more, i wanted one more but we’re just too tired to breathe the winding ribbon road played tricks on our eyes i tried so hard not to look at the lines, woah because you told me they could hypnotize i tried so hard... then you were motionless in the passenger seat and i felt like i’d never been awake so long before

Dark & Deep 06:08
lyrics

empty coffee cup in hand we walk with constant upward motion the steps leading to the horizon starlight shines, the setting’s silver with our fifth we front-way forward fall into the friendly fire surprising senses all resounding as the searchlights shine above us playgrounds and pirate towns, the darkening of night still sounds let’s bury all the moments passing, deep within the hourglass i can’t hear the distance but it’s all within the picture frame tripping through realities tired haikus and thoughts of you playgrounds and pirate towns, the darkening of night still sounds let’s bury all the moments passing, deep within the hourglass

Domino 04:27

standing, waiting for the right time to let go directions pending, the road’s condescending tripping each other as we fall since we’re so far away it’s too late to look behind and it’s all going nowhere though we’ve tried to forget “try to believe” i said to you once long ago though time is fleeting and words lost their meaning how can we say they meant nothing at all? since we’re so far away it’s too late to look behind and it’s all going nowhere though we’ve tried to forget it’s time to go, take a step away from yesterday we have to leave here, there’s none left to grieve here give me your hand, we can still find the way since we’re so far away it’s too late to look behind and it’s all going nowhere though we’ve tried to forget now we’re so far away, we can’t stay idle forever while time’s moving forward

Revelations 04:58
lyrics
buy track
i pleaded the night to leave my soul, light did flood the darkest evening sparks still glow with embers burning, the rain clouds lift above my flame how sweet was then? do you still remember the feeling of simplicity? no need for fear. always together, we were once young and fragile all around, weighing down, falling slowly to the ground i never thought i’d be back inside these walls again i lost my way. everything shatters, now i can disappear completely back in sight again. change always lasts forever, in and out of such a feeling all around, weighing down, falling slowly to the ground i never thought i’d be back inside these walls again
