Erase Me
06:06

They say I'm not to be trusted
They say there's no more room for your kind
I speak, the doors they lock to keep safe inside
Facing the walls they stand, both eyes closed
Outside the sun will shine, But no one emanates in warmth
Focused, a cold lack of light in the eyes
Staring, though gazes beam through transparently
Facing looking at me, but can they see me?
Giving my signal
Reaching, though finding to grasp on to nothing-
No sign of life, the waters are too shallow
What did I say to you to make you back away from me?
Being impacted your emptiness beyond belief.
So Leave me be and I'll be fine,
My intentions were benign,
My lungs punctured with spines,
It's so easy for you-
What did I say this time?
What did I decimate this time?
Where have I crossed the line?
Have no control, destructive mind-
Leave me and I'll be fine,
I've lost them a thousand times,
My chest a thousand knives,
It's so easy for you to
Erase me, to erase me
Erase, erase me
Erase, erase
Erase me.
They say I'm not to be fussed with
They say the effort with me not worth the time
I sing, the ears they perk up so subtly
Facing the voice, they listen penetrating
My voice, unable to erase from hearing

Icarus

Weathering through this storm,
I breathe in Dark clouds,
I am lifted, I am out of my mind-
When I am struck by lightning,
I fall
Weighted down by a shadow,
Darkness pulls me in.
Sinking below,
Pressure floods my mind,
Please be lifted, put it out of my sight
I only crave that light.
And god knows I’ve tried.
I’ve tried.
I miss that spark,
I crave that flame,
That I extinguished with my selfish tears.
I’ll always rise,
Because I need that warmth,
I would leave my body, everything behind
As I run straight to the edge
(I’ve always wanted to rise up to the sun)
God knows I’ve tried,
With my wax wings-
I miss that spark,
I crave that flame,
That I extinguished with my selfish tears.
I’ve tried.
With my wax wings,
With my wax wings-
(oh oh)
God knows I’ve tried-
I’ve tried. (I’ve tried, I’ve tried)
I’ve always wanted to rise up to the sun,
I’ve always wanted to rise up to the sun.

Unharmed

I wanna fly away from here.
Life is shrinking, shrinking
Below me-
Goodnight.
Time isn’t real,
Up here-
Quiet being lies with the stars
But I lay, unharmed-
I lay unharmed.
Don’t touch me,
I don’t need to hide anymore.
What’s the point of sinking
When I know to float?
Catch my silence,
Throw it in the hole.
Days push past and on
Beyond my control-
I put my hand to the glass,
Of your clear window
I lay, unharmed
I lay unharmed
Break the mirror
I don’t need to hide anymore.
One whose vast and wide-
Can find a voice within,
Is it real?
Can I believe in this? (oh oh)
Days push past and on beyond my control
I put my hand up to you
You back away from the glass
I smash, the shards fall down
You weren’t there anymore
Now the way is clear I remain,
The days push past and on
Beyond my control
I put my hand up to you-
You, you back away from the glass
I smash the shards fall down,
You weren’t there anymore
Now the way is clear,
And I remain Unharmed
Now the way is clear and I remain Unharmed.

Escape
02:21

It feels like I’m in space,
The world is awfully dull and grey.
What does it take to feel again, be me again?
I slip into my golden daze.
Escaping my mind, notions high
I create only what I have longed
And now excitement only grows-
And now, a safe place where I go
The endless beam of what I see stretch far and wide
The brightest sun turned cloudy skies.
I looked at the world through rosey eyes,
Was blind
I didn’t mean to cross the line-
And when I slip away
Reality surrounding me decay
Forcing myself to believe-
My only solace deeply torments me
To anchor this lone and sinking ship,
I secure my mind to your image-
I looked at the world through rosey eyes,
I create only what I have longed.

Gravity
03:30
|
|||
|
I can’t see past both my outstretched arms,
Tips of fingers disappear through time,
An edge where blue waves sweep away,
Away the sand that falls ever shorter
In my hourglass
I have to take comfort in running-
Running on foundation that’s crumbling
If only, if only, the chance to catch my breath-
Gravity holds its weight
Gravity holds me.
It’s a whirlwind
I don’t wanna be stuck
Going nowhere
I don’t wanna be
Disconnected-
Maybe something
Can shield my heart from
Becoming frozen
I don’t wanna be
Disconnected

Ghost

Hello out there
Is it really another figure standing in my peripheral?
And if I could just move,
I wanna be sure he’s not a mirage again
Hello dear friend-
I hear the silence deafening in my head
Oh what I would give to reach out my arms and touch you again, again
Mmmm
How’d I get so damn cold?
I just wanna be warm
Warm (warm, warm, warm)
If you’re there lord...
Bring me home
I’m hiding in the shadows
I used to come alive at night, and I would have all of the answers
And whisper them softly
But I’m a ghost,
I wanna be heard so I’m ringing up your walls
And I’ll never belong in this world-
Rise from the dust
Revert me to an animal
And then I’ll be warm
Revert me to an animal

Imperceptible

I’ve only kept in your ground,
In all the world,
Through all the noise,
I never left this town-
I never went away through mind
Can’t keep your head from falling,
Can’t see the colours we made,
Can’t breathe in the space that I gave
So look at me,
Look at me,
Look
I’m a wanderer but I never moved a foot,
I’m an arrow and I led you wrong,’
All those times that I unfurled,
I was there
I am here.
Can’t keep your gaze from downing
Can’t see the colours so bright
Cant feel me open up
So look at me
Look at me
Look
So look me in the eye
And when i stood in your ground,
My boots would fill up with snow
Beneath the dark,
Where you’d throw me out
And all those times I sat outside
I wanted to run, but I never left the edge
So look at me (look at me)
Look me in the eye-
Look me in the eye! (in the eye)
So look at me,
You can’t look at me-
Just look at me.
