Hold me closer
I am fading
Distant echoes
Temporary blood and bones
Only dreams will live to tell
In another world
I am hiding
Hiding the light inside me
In another world
You're the only one
Who sees me when I'm
Light is heavy
Slip into a sea of shadows
Allegory in the stars
Calls me to the other side
In another world
I am hiding
Hiding the light inside me
In another world
You're the only one
Who sees me when I'm
Out of body
Gone beyond the wounded ocean
Floating freely
Liberated from emotion
Out of nowhere
Gone beyond the blind devotion
Flowing meaning
Liberated from a notion
I'm alive if only in your mind

Change me
If you're to know
Always there with you
So lonely, breaking away
Change me
If you're to know
Always there with you
So lonely, breaking away
Help me
Always there with you

And one by one
Dissolving into dark
Those distant lights
Feel different now they're gone
Change me
Until
Until the sea
Once I'm falling in
That holding blue
Until
Until the sea
Is watching me
Take me
Until
Until the sea
Once I'm falling in
That holding blue
Until
Until the sea
Those woven trees
Their branches pierce the air
Those rising sounds
Feel different now I'm there
Take me
Until
Until the sea
Now I'm falling in
The reaching blue
Until
Until the sea
Is taking me
Change me
Change me
Take me down
Change me
Change me
Until the sea
Is watching

Forever and...
04:27

When the howling begins do you hear it as a warning, or as reassurance?
When the knocking at the door finally starts - do you welcome it?
These brief recitals as signaling lights,
brighter than ever, they show what time has taken.
The house where we grew up, the sunlight through her fingers, the face of a mother.
This dream....
The howling ends,
and only now it falls into place.

Pull the blinds and I'll be quiet
Sit in silence to be reminded
How I wanted to be more
How I wanted to be seen
Never wanted to be free
How I wanted to be more
How I wanted to be seen
Now I know all I've had
3 days ago you told me
Time moves too slow on your knees
3 days ago you told me
Time moves too slow on your knees
3 days ago you told me
Time moves too slow when you leave
3 days ago you told me
Time moves too slow when you leave
How I wanted to be more
How I wanted to be seen
Never wanted to be free
How I wanted to be more
How I wanted to be seen
Now I know all I've had
I let it sleep in my home
I watched it grow
I felt it seep through my bones
But I couldn't let go
I didn't know
I didn't know
It took control and I kept on sinking slowly
3 days ago you told me
Time moves too slow on your knees
3 days ago you told me
Time moves too slow when you leave
How I wanted to be more
How I wanted to be seen
Never wanted to be free
How I wanted to be more
How I wanted to be seen
Now I know all I've had
How I wanted to be more
How I wanted to be seen
Never wanted to be free
How I wanted to be more
How I wanted to be seen
Now I know all I've had
Time moves too slow

Breathe in
Dream out
Lost in this breath, your colour
Your colour drains
My exhalation slows
Reach for this breath, my colour
My colour grows
Will you see me
See me if I show
A drained faded hue
Will you see me
Still see me when I glow
Breathe in
Dream out
These fading lungs
Lost in this breath, your colour
Your colour drains
Now I'm too vibrant
Will you see me
See me if I show
A drained faded hue
Will you see me
Still see me when I glow
Will you see me
See me if I show
A drained faded hue
Will you see me
Still see me when I glow
Drained, faded hue
Will you see me
See me if I show
I'm drained because of you
Am I still me
My inhalation slows
My inhalation slows
My inhalation slows
My inhalation slows
