Woman On The Run
04:48

Face down I went
for something soft and smooth
Ride the dragon, slay the beast
Find the fountain of youth
A woman sat beside me
Must have been here for a while
Whispered "this thing here is not working"
And just like that, she killed the vibe
I've been drinking from this fountain
It's just something that I do
But the sign up on that gate
The promise is not true
But this is where I spend my money
That's how I trick my mind
As I'm sliding
Down the highway of time
Oh go easy, go easy
I feel I'm sliding down
No one wants to grow old
No one wants to die young
But there is a woman's truth
How you want me for my youth
I'm a woman on the run
Out of Time
I used to think I was above it
So high that I could soar
But I just blink and now I'm of it
Have you played this game before?
The hungry crowd is cheering
Rolling heads, falling crowns
They reminisce your youth and beauty
then point at the lines
Oh the loser game
Sponsored by same old gaze
I'm on a wheel, seducing hungry fools
I check myself, I trace
I cross the line
Now the lines are crossing me
I'm a woman on the run
for something she can't be!
Lines, lines across my face
I scrutinize, I trace
Line, line, I cross the line
A woman on the run
I slay the beast, my face won't move
I gave myself that gift of youth
And I can't smile it, but I'm so stoked
I'm still valid, still a part of it
Oh go easy, go easy
I feel I'm sliding down
No one wants to grow old
No one wants to die young
But there is a woman's truth
How you want me for my youth
I'm a woman on the run
Out of Time

Dream Chaser
03:46
|

|
Dizzy lights fade away
And the dark begins to fall
She wraps herself in the night of black long hair
Chases dreams across the hall
She's a weeping willow now
And then she is the sky
Then she dreams she's a summer rain
Passing by
Underneath it all
It's so still and dark
That's where she hides away
Crumbles the clay
Lights the spark
Then she plants the flowers
Waters them so they would bud
Then she drinks the water
Thirsty for power
Writes the songs in her own blood
There are pieces of her in every lock
And pieces in every key
So she shapes her bones all the sticks and stones
Into the one she wants to be

River Shaped Scar
03:24
|

|
What have I done to you
What have you done to me
We tore each other's hearts apart
Both unintentionally
I did my part, I am not proud
Of ways I wore you out
And I feel at loss
Do you feel at loss?
Do you feel the pain?
Do you feel the cost?
And I am tracing
Your lines across my heart
And I feel them slowly fading
Into a river shaped scar
I wish you well
In case you can't tell
I always have
We'll see each other from time to time
We'll talk like distant friends
But don't look me in the eyes
Don't break the fragile ice
We both walk on
I'll think about you for a while
I'll think about you and carry on
And I am tracing
Your lines across my heart
And I feel them slowly fading
Into a river shaped scar
And yes, sometimes I still wish
For another go for you and me
But the river, it reminds me
There's too much water under the bridge
I feel water running deep
Deep and cold and muddy
This magic thing we used to be
Now turned heavy, gray, and bloody
And I am tracing
Your lines across my heart
And I feel them slowly fading
Into a river shaped scar
And yes, sometimes I still wish
For another go for you and me
But the river, it reminds me
There's too much water under the bridge

Ghost Town Love
03:05
|
|||
|
On a lockdown, you and I
The world around feels scared and quiet
We sat under that heavy sky
Waiting to see another face for hours
But we lost sight of familiar faces
Friends only seen inside the phone
Then we all vanished with no traces
All turned to ghost without a bone
Maybe only lovers will stay alive
Everything else will turn to dust
All we ever had is this ghost town love
Everything else will pass
Maybe only lovers will stay afloat
Watching the event from high above
Breathing in each other with an open throat
Saved by their ghost town love
A thousand hours of solitude
Brought back softness to my face
And I was back there, back in my youth
I knew how to love you those early days
And how I miss having you around
We're so caught up swimming in deep water
And how I miss loving you this way
I just woke up to how much I've forgotten
Maybe only lovers will stay alive
Everything else will turn to dust
All we ever had is this ghost town love
Everything else will pass
Maybe only lovers will stay afloat
Watching the event from high above
Breathing in each other with an open throat
Saved by their ghost town love

Without A Tide
04:00
|

|
Right inside your window
I got caught in a breeze
Trying to hold on
To my fading desire to please
But I find myself despite myself
Drifting somewhere new
The sheen of my new skin
The rest is no longer true
It's so warm inside your home
It's been my church and my ache
And I'm still inside
Waiting for the locks to break
These lips that hardly speak
Are a gift from you
Your gifts are endless
Your gifts are too few
So I fly out the window
Right out of the room
Don't try and try to hold my world
In your sugar spoon
My feathers are still tethered
And the sky is too wide
But let me be an ocean
Without a tide
I still wake up in your shoes
Take them off with care
You see they weigh me down
As I take to the air
Your love is the kind of love
That's always on my mind
But love is an anchor
And love can be blind
So I fly out the window
Right out of the room
Don't try and try to hold my world
In your sugar spoon
My feathers are still tethered
And the sky is too wide
But let me be an ocean
Without a tide
Know that I am somewhere new
A small room with an endless view
When I close my eyes
all that I see is you
You
So I fly out the window
Right out of the room
Don't try and try to hold my world
In your sugar spoon
My feathers are still tethered
And the sky is too wide
But let me be an ocean
Without a tide

Moon Sister

Oh moon sister, are you out there?
With the wild in your eyes and wild in your hair
I hear your voice
What does it mean?
All that talk of peace and quiet
But I'd rather hear you sing
Oh moon sister, one hand on a wire
I am driving up the coast
To some beach called Heart's Desire
You see these heart's desires they sit and wait
There's the voice that I admire
But I've been too afraid
At Heart's Desire I stood in the water
Waiting for your message, your message in a bottle
At Heart's Desire I stood in the water
Waiting for your message in a bottle
Waiting for your message in a bottle
All I ever wanted is a moment of that light
But me and the demons we have an agreement
Out of mind and out of sight
I've been starving them with safety and I thought that it would last
But they pick up speed when they need to feed
On the troubled past
Oh moon sister, are you nearby?
Does it ever feel like the wall is too tall?
Do you ever feel too shy?
It's the mixed bag that we drag, but I'm holding mine best I can
The gifts, the dreams, the fears, the desires
Of a flash in a pan
At Heart's Desire I stood in the water
Waiting for your message, your message in a bottle
At Heart's Desire I stood in the water
Waiting for your message in a bottle
Waiting for your message in a bottle

Planted
04:17
|

There's a narrow tunnel
I got in somehow
When I injured an organ
One I can't live without
There's hardly any light
So I'm using my hands
For the next thousand steps
Until the darkness ends
I can smell the trapped air
And the mud from last fall
A birthplace of some river
Filled my throat with it all
The fear cut my breath shallow
But something inside me chanted
It feels like you are buried
But you are planted
Seed into soil
How deep does it fall
How strong the heartbeat
To get through it all
Wind into seed
How strong does it blow
How sturdy my two feet
When they don't fail me at all
I wish I had some source of light
I wish I had my phone
To find a way or call someone
When it's so alone
How hopeful can a faint glow be?
When it's so far ahead
The dark guide in her endless dress
And the damp air that feels too wet
Go on, go on, you brittle bone
Don't let me fall apart
Grow thick and limber underground
In a chamber of my heart
I keep moving forward
Because I heard it chanted
It feels like you are buried
But you are planted
Seed into soil
How dark does it feel
Before you come out
Push through with pure will
Rain into river
How empty is your bed
Before you are born
Before you are fed

Where To Stargaze
05:33
|
|||
|
Take me higher, over past that winding road
Can't you tell that I feel tired?
Are we both still headed north?
I should be going somewhere, but I'd much rather stay
And watch the clouds gather over the Bodega Bay
My chest is fastened by a seatbelt
But yours feels locked by fastened heart
How cold to touch are now your fingers
When you feel free enough to part
I know you're going somewhere, but I'd rather you stay
And watch the clouds gather over the Bodega Bay
But can we stay in this place
I'll show you where to stargaze
But can we stay in this place
I'll show you where to stargaze
to stargaze
Have I been wanting you too much?
Have you been wanting me enough?
You make me sad, but love feels hopeful
That's how you heal and break my heart
I should be kinder to myself, shouldn't have come, I shouldn't stay
But I can't help to feel the clouds over Bodega Bay
But can we stay in this place
I'll show you where to stargaze
Please, can we stay in this place
I'll show you where to stargaze
to stargaze
