Wolves
04:16

I was happy to hear from you
You said I'm like ice, I endure the advice
Unable to open, but crying inside
But there are wolves, they won't let me fall in love, prowling my heart
You were chasing shadows
I'm hidden inside the walls of a smile
I'd like to slice the walls of a smile
Trust me I tried
But there are wolves, they won't let me fall in love, prowling my heart
Clutching at shadows
Clutching at the moon
Clutching at starlight
The distance is beautiful

Halley
04:11

You shook my soul as Halley struck the sky,
You said it was the last time for your life
The pale little trail wouldn't know you're missing the next time it arrives
I held your hand maybe a little too tight
See I was young then and I thought a wish could rewrite
The patterns of life, set the grim parts glowing
We'll all stay frozen in time
But we'll be back one day, with you a little more grey
I'll leave one arm spare for my own 'little bear'
And we'll gaze a while until the lights leave
You said it's been there for millions of years
I was already small but I felt myself shrink
The rain chose to pour and we went in slowly
You waved goodbye

Vancouver Waves

You are the calmest wave that I've ever known, you are the calmest wave
When you stop coming into shore, nobody knows but I'll be on way
My mood moves like the tide
A storm that builds inside of me
And if you ever vanish off the map, nobody knows but I'll be on my way
Hibernate til I'm on form again, the world can wait another year
Hibernate til I'm ok again, the tidal waves can't follow me here
So i came here to the island, I braved the stormy seas
The air is clean and it's silent, far from such tragedies
The sun sets better than a painting, it calms my eyes with ease
But it's the saddest skiy that I've ever seen

Elegy
03:55
|
|||
Take away my gun, haul it out
They can find me, I know I'm done
Take away my pride, a paper thin hide a worn disguise
When they find me, I won't run
I'll fall down on your shoulders, on your shoulders
We will crawl out, leave disaster, into darkness
Let me go, into sleep my eyelids close
The roaring and the thunder, my only living foes
I lie here still, restlessly but silently it's all sure to end
But when

Somewhere in Florence
04:00
|
|||
My heart is a fortress, a city hard to please
And she told me that paintings, they could bring me to my knees
Now she's somewhere in Florence and I'm stuck here in London Another summer
My love was a painter, an artist from within
But I was a dreamer and I wanted everything
Now she's somewhere in Florence and I'm stuck here in London Another summer
When the weight of the world falls in your lap
What can you do but run from that?
I cradled my songs, my precious time
A king from myself not a next-in-line
How could I have what I still am?
So young and so frightened, how it changes everything
You know love, it changes everything
