Smoke & Shadows

First there was this urge
to fill a void beneath,
the surface you see
and I swear I saw it
briefly creeping through the trees,
playing with my senses
but in my palm
I could hold it, just for a moment
but before I knew
it had collapsed and died too soon
Running around the place
looking for the truth
to help me find
the pieces of my mind
falling from the earth
returning to blue
between smoke and shadows
I could not see through
Then there was dark
Was I misled or kept behind fences
one step ahead
and three more back to where I just came from
I tried so hard
it tore me to pieces if had not heard it
a distant voice unclear
said wake up you fool & let me help now
You're running around the place
looking for some ghost
to help you see
what's been right before your eye
falling from the earth
returning to blue
between smoke and shadows
I saw you
Staying away from you
is what I refuse to do
though I have tried to keep my cool
falling from the earth
returning to you
between smoke and shadows
I saw you too
between smoke and shadows
I was such a fool
between smoke and shadows
I saw you

Better Man

I went out to find
A way to take tings off my mind
escaping again to a busy retreat
As I breathe effortlessly
The air is still and cold
My thoughts will come
I'm holding on
Spinning around
I won't let go
It's the times when I'm at ease
My selfish ways grown obsolete
And nothing can compete
with a song so deep inside of me
Yes, I want to be a better man
As the sun was rising
I was rising too
the breaking of day
what a wonderful view
No rushing through my days
No thinking ten steps ahead
but being right in the now
changed me somehow
It's the times when I'm at ease
My selfish ways grown obsolete
And nothing can compete
with a song so deep inside of me
Yes, I want to be a better man
After years of rupture and cruelty
the one thing we share with our enemies
was nothing but fear
As we reach out to one another
our hearts newly discovered
there was nothing but love
It's the times when I'm at ease
My selfish ways grown obsolete
And nothing can compete
with a song so deep inside of me
It's the times when I'm at ease
My selfish ways grown obsolete
And nothing can compete
with a song so deep inside of me
Yes, I want to be a better man
I vow to change my sorry ways
I want to get better
I want to be a better man
I vow to change my sorry ways
I want to get better
I want to be a better man

The Cycle is Complete

I can feel your heartbeat
I can hear you breathing
I have seen your dark side
I have felt your kindness
I have heard you laughing
I have caught your teardrops
Might've missed a moment
Never missed a hilltop
Only Love
Get up, get up your time is running out
once they smell your scent there's no getting out
liars and thieves so cunning and fine
all them stranger things, a devils design
Come my love now rest your head, this is no defeat I tell you
they come and go with the sun, let me treat you sweet and softly
I caress your hair and better if you got some sleep before dawn
the cycle is complete
Watch out, watch out they're hiding by your side
a wolfhound disguised in a white sheep's hide
dance for me blackbird, spread your wings and fly
but don't turn your back on me, or I'll strike from behind
Come my love now rest your head, this is no defeat I tell you
they come and go with the sun, let me treat you sweet and softly
I caress your hair and better if you got some sleep before dawn
the cycle is complete

Stay

Oh so bitter
I poked at the house of cards I called my life
furnished with ambition and imagery
Of someone I couldn't be
Oh so lucky
I stumbled to your arms on a fresh but clueless start
we shared some nervous smiles
but not for long we didn't need to hide
And I can tell the forest calls
When warm rain falls
And I can hear the sound of whispering doves
Sweet promises of love
Stay here with me
Let's waste some time here
On this lazy day
Stay here with me
'cause you give me something
but please tread carefully with me
Oh so happy
Always on the verge of bursting with laughter
I feel so warm, when I look in your eye
crystal clear without compromise
And I can tell the forest calls
When warm rein falls
And I can't hold what I feel
I cannot lie
I wanna dive deep into you
Stay here with me
Let's waste some time here
On this lazy day
Stay here with me
'cause you give me something
but please tread carefully with me
Come stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay here with me
Let's waste some time here
On this lazy day
Stay here with me
'cause you give me something
but please tread carefully
