Sunshine 04:22
I don’t wanna go / I don’t wanna stay / I just wanna float / Inside of a ray of sunshine / Painting gilded hours / Feeling oh so light / Headed for a better day / The kind with no goodbyes What would we be without the loss / All the waves when they toss us / Hours of darkness bring the sight / We’re an ocean of longing / Always desire takes the lead / But it won’t take a break no / Hunger, it will drive you to the hunt / Hollow nights to be filled up I can’t let it overflow / I can’t watch it fade / All the love I save / For the right one to let inside / Of my changing world / Growing oh so bright / Feeling all the pain and joy / Watch it pass me by Be here now and don’t give up

Albatross 03:08
Floating through the day you are fit to burst / And at night you indulge your thirst / Let a little bit of that darkness go what is left is still hollow / Fill it up with every sweet new thought / They will wax ripe and rot away Pleasing decay No, it’s not a race / But your mind is driving outta town / You need the empty spaces / Oh the fallacy / That your love is lost to time / And all your / Days alone are wasted / Now you hold your breath / There’s no one left to reach a hand / To hold you’re feeling older / Every day a little less in debt / And yet the heart in your chest is colder Heavy with the weight of an albatross / Fill your head with the pitch and the toss / Rooms are so much more than the air inside / Pacing round feel the spirits astride / Maybe now the end is a place to be / Feeling free of anxiety pray / Maybe today And even when your heart is full The demons are a little bit bolder

Night arrives, drunk on the memories sweet and low, wearing a veil of snow, and hoping for some new morsel of truth to kindly show / Loving me, it’s getting harder to figure out, every day without my anchor down at sea for weeks insane with doubt / Dying slow, drowning all my sadness in the drink, reading invisible ink, on every wall that tells me I’m on the brink of something Good for me but what could be apart from you as wonderful as all the time when you were my partner in crime the one who I could see Heaven sent, to be free and I’ll be damned if I go astray, follow the passageway, that leads me from all the darkness inside my yesterdays / Now the thrill inside my tiny world comes when I can forget, the fear of my mortal debt walking the streets at night with my eyes glowing like cigarettes / Dying now, knowing that each moment can belong to me, don’t seem so awfully grim with nothing to lose and the rest of my life to search for something

Sparrows 04:25
Hey sweets / Some days I wake up feeling foolish / Surprised at how much I’ve been dreaming / Of your face / I let my guard down in the evening / Now that our days are getting shorter together / Why have I been so lost / In your daybreak eyes / Makes me feel so free like the sparrow / We should love like sparrows Hung up / Some people need to guarantee it / Want stronger language to believe they / Have a bond / I don’t need promises or pressure / Just give me us inside a moment together / Find all I need inside / Of your garden eyes / Makes me feel so free like the sparrow / We should love like sparrows I can’t settle down yes I’ve tried it before / I’m not sure I even know what home means anymore / But each day is new / And the ones when I find you / Are so wonderful/ It’s so nice not flying solo / You’re not mine, but you’re my home Sun rings / This planet dances under our feet / Time stretches thin the bonds between us every day / The pain grows dull and passion distant / And yet the love we feel is tight-knit together / Right next to my heart / Inside of my mind’s eye / Makes me feel so dear like the sparrow / We could love like sparrows

Darklighter 04:17
Sometimes I wonder if I left my soul behind me in the darkness of the park the year my faith grew very cold as all the distance from the sun / I left my rosary hanging for someone I didn’t know and lost myself somebody else must hold me now to feel a thing Count the string of sins as I let my lust unfold in holy patterns of desire / I wanted to get lost in fire now I know it all too well. the gritty rawness of the light it’s shining on the flesh of frozen hell believe me time will tell if I can love again Letting go without forgetting / All the colors that you took when you left this old world of mine / How can I get back to living after coming down from such a high do you still dream of life with me Just a taste of truth there were many days I would do anything to live again the smile upon my face looks tired and stretched out so very thin / What is the point in giving so much of the best of me when all the worst you see and hear can break your heart the way it did
