Halfbreath

Don't hold this against me
Or take it wrong
It seems like it could be
Some of my fears are gone
And I feel like something's changing
Silently, you're sneaking in on me

I'm open for brilliance and lucky fortune
I'm hoping that you, too,
Are similarly open
And I feel resistance fading
Silently, you're sneaking in on me

And all we wanted was to be wanted
We had to be needed, had to be needed
And all needed was to be needed
We had to be wanted, had to be wanted

Excitement is mounting
And overwhelming me
I'm lacking in direction
And objectivity
And I feel like something's changing
Silently, you're sneaking in on me

Loop In Blue

Must be something important
To make your eyes this wide
Must be something enormous
You're all alone, who can you trust?
And we see sweat gather on your brow
Makes you cynical
And we see your eyes are getting dark
Must be something important

And I know we don't know
What's on your mind
But we know you'll make it through
And though things may seem
Much larger than life
At least you know we're behind you

Must be something important
We must admit we're curious
Must be something that's urgent
I advise you confide in one of us
And we see your heart is tied in knots
We want to help you out
And we see your not feeling quite yourself
Must be something important

Ifish

I know I talk too mu
I know I laugh too loud
Oh god, I did it to myself again
Why can't I ever seem to change

Kiss me now, kiss me now
Empty I feel
I can't see anything
Outward from here
Kiss me now, kiss now
Empty I feel
And i back myself into my corner
Once again

I know I have my faults
I know I'm out of line
I wish I could take it back
I want to run and hide

La Mer

A perfectly symmetrical design
Delicate, unaffected by the hands of time
Can one know intentions
Of what has created you
Can one ever be certain
That their perception is true

Show me your inner workings
I trust you implicitly
This must be what gods are for
Carry me across the water
Hold my hands to meet horizons
Things I'd never see alone
This must be what gods are for
Carry me across the water

Could it be that I have been wrong
Could it be the answers
Have been here all along
No look to make things awkward
These things are understood
With confidence it catches
And we wish to god it would

Present Tense

And she was always so defensive
Like nothing was ever her fault
Or her responsibility

And this is all I have left to hold
A delicate balance has been exposed
And though it towers around us all
Just goes to show life is so fragile

She used to smile when she'd say
"it's all so meaningless, anyway
So just forget, forget it"
And she was always so morose
Like this was all some bitter joke
But no one was laughing

And now when we speak about her
We never use the present tense
I guess that's what happens

It Was Safer When You Were Near

Don't worry, it's not your fault
I know, i saw it happen
Don't worry, don't take the blame
I would have done the same thing

Don't listen to what it says
Your mind is out to get you
And anyone would do the same
If they had to walk round in your shoes

No matter what they do
No matter what they say
Don't let them bring you down
You can't control what other people think
How could you let them bring you down
How could you know that things could
End this way
Don't you let them bring you down

Don't worry, it's not your fault

Anything could happen
And it will

You Are One Of Us

Here we are- this is all of us
Larger than we seem to be
You are one of us
Metal and cable and pixel and love
This is all of us
Silicon blinking and buttons and knobs
This is all of us

Escape yourself this moment
Let us fill you in as our arms are wide
And we only love you
With all of what we will be
You are part of this
Let it take you in- we only love you

Feel us- we're under your lungs
You are one of us
Feel us, we're all through your bones
This is all of us
Synthesized digital audio love
You are one of us
Electronic subsonic gifts from above
This is all of us

Feeling This Is Like To Fall Awake

Can these be my hands
Why won't they follow my commands?
Someone took my breath from me
I can't see and I can't speak
I had a dream you were a snake
I guess this proves I knew you well
I had a dream when I was falling down
Until I landed under you

Go to hell and leave me with
The keys to your car
Delia will drive me through the rain

And it's just like you to pick the perfect time
When i'm already down and there
To kick a couple times
You twist everything I said
And everything i did
And everything I thought was mine

(Delia)
I feel like such a fool
For having turned to you
I didn't know that you could ever want
To be so cruel
And if there is a god, and if god is fair
I know you will suffer

(Delia)

I’ll Carry You

How does it feel
To know that you are loved so much?
How does it feel to be accepted
So completely?
How does it feel to know that you
Mean everything to someone?
How does it feel to know that
You're exactly what I wanted?

How does it feel
To know that you are loved?

I love you more than you can see
This is everything you are to me
