Hydra Mp3 (whole song)

I've seen the truth fall out of my mouth
into your life
shatter divine
I've seen the seeds fall out of pylons
collapse and fall behind
As we walk upon the wire of these lives that went before
As we walk below the mountains and scatter seeds on shore

This is where we are
This is what we become...

I've never seen the truth like this
had the blind eyes turned to fire
been the hydra on the landscape
become one with you
I've seen the little summer come
and bring with it hope
Of the new line spread before us
the light, fire and smoke
Of the face upon the water
the soul beneath the skin
Of your hand inside my heart
A new reason to live

This is where we are
This is what we become...

 

Second Skin Mp3 (whole song)

I have been silent so long
Under tightly knitted skin
Waiting to begin here
Waiting to begin

I have been bleeding so long
In this ancient second skin
Trying to begin here
Trying to begin

Everything's a warning
Everything's a sign
I could've shed this long before
and taken what was mine
(and taken back all that was mine)

The messangers have told me
Begun to leave their marks
Scrawled across my skin now
Burned into my heart

Now I've been silent too long
The scar's already formed
Sealed in second skin now
Locked behind my door

Everything's a warning
Everything's a sign
I could've shed this long before
and taken what was mine
(and taken back all that was mine)...

 

Drown Like You Mp3 (clip)

I am alone...

Might find some kind of brilliant understanding
Might rise above the waves that I see you drown in
Can't see the oceans for all the seas
Can't drown in water
When all you do is leave me behind

I am alone...

You wouldn't have to fall below the waves
If you could walk across like me
You wouldn't have to carry all this weight
That pulls you down into the sea

So slip into the skin
That I know you feel safe in
And make up all the games
That hide your little soul in vain

I am alone...

You wouldn't have to fall below the waves...

I am alone...

 

The Ocean Beside Us

As far away as I can see
You are in my memory
Time has changed us both my dear
Time has led us through our fear

I remember parts of you
In things you say and things you do
I pray you remember me
Despite your deep uncertainty

And I will not be afraid
even though we're not the same
One day you will know
One day you will know

I dreamed I found you by the sea
Wondering who you used to be
You were waiting for the storm
To sweep away your fears from shore

And I will not be afraid
even though we're not the same
One day you will know
One day you will know

Far away, you bring me home
I taught you lessons I had known
I knew you had so much to give
So many lives you'd need to live

And I will not be afraid...

I dreamed I found you by the sea
Wondering who you used to be
But one day you will know
I promise you
One day you will know...

 

The Map Is Not the Territory Mp3 (clip)

And this time
I have seen
On the outside
Of my sleep
Underneath this skin
Underneath this stone
Inside the eyes of lost life
Behind the loss of my eyes

Some hope is not broken down...

And if we fall from grace
Out of silence
Out of place
Please remember me
Please remember me
And if we live in fear
We'll fall away from here
Please remember me
Please remember me

(The map is not the territory)

Empty visions pass the time
Throughout history of mind
The map is not the territory
The map is not the territory

When the wind whips through the sky
Blow the land across my I
The map is not the territory
The map is not the territory

Into the hollow we have known
And we find no place to go
The map is not the territory
The map is not the territory

Create the truth after the lie
Finally cross the bridge of sighs
The map is not the territory
The map is not the territory...

 

Blind Arms

In the mouth of innocence
In the voice of aftermath
In the steam the words collide
Back into the inside
Underneath the paper skin
Behind the broken eyes
Until the end comes down
To find what lies behind

Here we are inside
Emptyness will fall behind
and in the silence of it all
Into your blind arms I fall

Under light of distant stars
Hide four miles down
Beneath the salty brine
This hope in you I find
Underneath the tidal pools
That crash against the walls
Until the end comes down
To find what lies behind

Here we are inside
Emptyness will fall behind
and in the silence of it all
Into your blind arms I fall...

 

Song to the Divine

Please release me from the guilt I hold
Please release me from the pain I own
Please release me to the sky above
Please release me from this stranglehold

I am choking on the air I breathe
I create my own worst enemy
I tear myself apart with jealousy
Then blame you for what I've done to me

This is all I have to give
This is all I have to say
Please hear me now
and take it away

I release this now
I am choking now
I am burning now
I've gone down in flames
I am breaking now/ I release this now
I have pulled you down/ I am choking now
I am burning now

This is all I have to give
This is all I have to say
Please hear me now
and take it away
Take it away...

 

Too Many Empty Nests

I wanted to show you
What I am now
What this means
I stripped off the costume
Lay down on you
Let you see

I stand naked before you
Pull you closer
As I breathe
I pour out religion
And pray you'll believe

This is my own truth
This is what I know
I've wrecked all my chances
I've splintered my bones
I followed a burning
That led to your door
I walked down a pathway
I have died on before

This is mine...

I tried to convince you
Of my weakness
Of my truth
Now this is so painful
This is lost here
This is you

And this is mine...

 

I Live on What's Left Mp3 (clip)

Broke in my hand
This was never the plan
But I guess since it's here
I'll stay strong where I stand

I'm falling apart
My name used to be grace
But now if you call me
Just call me misplaced

I feel with my core
No more with my hands
I see through a blindness
You don't understand

I reach for the quiet...I live on what's left

You can't take it back
The life that you've led
But I've spread myself thin here
Spread myself on the bed
(Almost spread myself dead)

I reach for the quiet...I live on what's left

It's out of my hands
This was never my plan
But I guess since it's here
I'll stay strong where I stand

I reach for the quiet...I live on what's left

 

Aurora

Run like hell...

 

The Explanation at the Center of it All

my muscles break when i split in two because i can't stay here with you
my bad dreams my loss of sleep my loss of hair my loss of trust the way
She tells me to be still and that i know better the rushing in of ghosts and shards of disbelief
rammed into my head the way i break the mirrors now your paintings in the trash my songs
in THE MEMORIES OF WHORES our photographs that i can't look at the same our photographs the
steel trap snapped between my legs the way my tongue has gone sour the way i wake up shaking
the way i sense your caustic lies the way my stomach catches fire the way I'VE LEFT it all BEHIND...
