Two Kinds 04:28
Reflections of the light above waves and ripples in greeting our shining faces Seeing sparks of what may become Is it love or some other thing we know nothing of We know nothing of We Know nothing of.... CHORUS: Soft and cool My lips are blue Your lips are soft and cool My lips are blue Your lips are too And as we touch it won't take much before I close my eyes and see where this moment can take us Far and wide As we hide (,) Our bodies (,) blind to what lies beneath us Pre-CHORUS: Darker still How much longer till my eyes stop adjusting to the contours of your features Beyond our will have we found a thrill in one another? CHORUS Reflections of the light above waves and ripples in greeting our shining faces

Come Elijah 04:02
It circles 'round me now that I hear the warning far behind the point that I should have stopped myself Heed the fiery feud that I started so long ago Sat on a shelf All the answers might have seemed easy to read But my eyes were blinded to everything in front of me CHORUS: Come like Elijah, down, down Come like Elijah Where were you when I needed someone Come like Elijah, down, down, Come like Elijah Where were you when I needed you Is this the end where I see all the suffering Turned to good use but I'm held only by a string I was my cradle, my own open hand Weaned myself from broken sores you wouldn't understand I was my hymnal, my own marching band Pushed away the windows until I could no longer see you stand CHORUS Is this the end where I see all the suffering Turned to good use but I'm held only by a string Is this where we begin to look more like ourselves No longer punished in the reason that we fell CHORUS

He was found on the side of the road where the children played Where the street lamps began their moonlit serenade Just beyond the horizon where his body lay And the history of how his spirit was slain And the mystery of the solemn man sank through the sand before the day did break Oh.... And the leaves were dark that hid him there And the limbs of the trees broken and snared Across his heart and to the bone But no one had come to take him home Perhaps his family had a wife, a mother to three Or was he a child of one who left him with uncertainty Of who he would become, just like mine did to me Or was he certain of what his fate would be Oh.... And the bruises on his face will show The fight he gave we'll never know The cuts and burns were from the ground To where no one had cared to carry him down

Houses 02:24
I opened the door to let you come in to my white, white living room I opened the windows so you could look in and out to enjoy the view But the stains on the walls weren't as clean as they seemed So I rushed to obscure you from the writings I had covered and the spaces in-between Now you can see them too CHORUS Oh suddenly, I felt I could breathe and saw colors in their hues And I will love you And I will love you And I will love you till my face falls to the ground The first blow of wind came when the seasons changed from grey to our first sky blue The reds weren't as clear and the yellows disappeared I didn't know what to do Did you slip away or did I get pushed away as the house swirled out of view Standing in bare feet on the concrete You were standing outside too CHORUS

September 04:56
If I was September, then you'd be November Always with one month between us So close together Forever yet never will our shoulders touch Thus the heartache in the view of the days we outnumber and how often I can see you hold hands with December, but she'll never remember how it feels to lose you But I do Then January wed you, oblivious that I knew the way your hair used to fall down your face Or cheeks that may glisten when I have told you a story that made the ghosts fly away Though I may have been naive that I may have believed in hope that you would turn back to look at me So, I've been deceived by the notion I dreamed I knew it wasn't that I was crazy It wasn't there, but I didn't pull it out of thin air It isn't there so I won't pull it out of thin air When words are left unsaid, it's the ravenous thread unbroken, leading me right back to you All that remains unspoken seeps through me like a poison and drenched all thoughts of anything new So I must tell you Sometimes friends aren't forever And the special word will never be the same thing to me as it may be to you You can seal it with a kiss but on my lips this will be the only thing I will say to you Love it transcends, patient and kind but I've had enough Enough this time For my eyes can't bear it and I don't want to see it again and again that you'll never be mine So September's behind you or so far in front of you and I need to live a separate life Where I'm not so blinded by the shadow you leave me But where October is right in front of me Where he can bring me somewhere I'm alive Where he can bring me somewhere I'm alive
