Nine Moons 03:43
red colored sky she was so at ease her head tipped back and her heart it filled with wonder breathing in new images breathing out all that grasped and clenched her through the forest and from her throat shined like some blue diamond, it rippled and reflected and followed the sun down the horizon when the last remnants of light purpled the earth she took a glace through the trees and they pointed her in some far off destination but before she could leave her feet froze to the ground and she asked herself: 'who am I here?' well the wind pushed her one step closer her feet took off and a feeling took over like she was leaving something behind. she looked back and saw a mirrored girl who was fading fast and carrying a box of all her mysteries. And she said 'reach now, bring it forward towards the light' and 'go now, go anywhere you like'

the truth you found all tangled in they ivy, while you walk around singing our technicoulored blues. polish the mirror of all your silver linings, let it reflect back all the love that we have found. well, there are strangers like us. for those who sonder with hearts set on the future, arise for your time is now. the great divide stems from the great illusion, unite and tear down these city walls well, there are strangers like us. there are strangers like us. And there goes my love, I have heard your call my love, and may you watch us as we grow. The path between the lines it reads, not fated for all time to be, release yourself and then you'll see: there are strangers like us, and may you watch us as we grow.

Wake Child 04:15
last night you walked through my memory, you presence still haunting me, as you carried through the years. the thought was just like the photograph, sent to remind me, as you spoke without a sound. 'Wake child' walk on from what happened to you, ill bet, regret is bound to tear you in two fallen pierced through the wing and as the cruel fate of the cactus wren longing to fly. 'Wake child' walk on from what happened to you don't let regret come in and tear you in two and now its time to lay our burdens in the tides 'her comes the morning light' this ones for all the words you left unspoken as the shoe box of love was fated to be open we would all float steady as she walked on by. wake child, her comes the morning light.

when I set out on a journey of my own creation I wished to stand beyond the walls I created inside myself and now I've got to get back to myself and all at once you watch them crumble before your eyes. disregard their broken dreams, they will sell most anything. so take a step back, this is your relationship. go tell it on the boulevard, when you have met the queen of hearts singing 'what you have loved is yours for keeps.' Oh, Chelsea Waves what rang though your heart and your mind when you decided on change? and just how quickly we've figured out what we are: we're fallen pieces from the stars. you got them traveling shoes, singing them poor boy blues with not much more than a shirt on your back. but I learned the difference between the have and the have-nots is what? who has got their love, and who is lost in the wake of it all. disregard their broken dreams, they will sell most anything. so take a step back, this is your relationship. go tell it on the boulevard, when you have met the queen of hearts singing what you have loved is yours for keeps. Oh, Chelsea Waves what rang though your heart and your mind when you decided on change. just how quickly we've figured out what we are: we're fallen pieces from the stars when I met you, I learned a new side of myself maybe it was a reflection from your eyes shining back through my own. and all at once, it became quite clear to me that these pieces we call ourselves may they shine for what we are, fallen pieces from the stars, may we shine for what we are.

we haven't made our minds up yet, the truth like a light through the night on your doorstep. our bodies where made for love, woven by the hands of the ancient ones. what's a mind to do all filled with fear, driving down the interstate, intersections of the years I'll remind myself while I'm standing here 'with a heart full of life I let it's direction call me' to feel sorrow for all that is beyond control but its the mothers song that will turn the world. let if fill you now straight to the core let your voice ring out let this connection call you home.
