In the back, on a shelf Is a key that you'd better not lose Down the stairs, ticking walk Tip and lock in the back of your shoes In the front, in the tree, Digging roots, is some tired refuse But there's no hope it'll ever make it out on this side Nope, it's a goner, what a fallacy, right? Look out, something inside is alive! Look out, something inside is alive! On the street, on the side Is a door, is a front behind In your head, in your ear, Is a voice, is a question declined On the street, right beside Is a choice: never seek, never find But there's no hope it'll ever make it out on this side Nope, it's a goner, what a fallacy, right? Look out, something inside is alive! Look out, something inside is alive!

Buy Now $1 USD or more Send as Gift Buy the Full Digital Album about Written in the beginning of 2013, it was a gift for my boyfriend, who would eventually become my husband. lyrics Blind birds ate the bees In the Sycamore trees And for thirty long years Flew over black pregnant seas As the waves wash over The wrinkles in my brain There’s no sick little reason In my mind left to remain In my youth I was midquest To fill an emptiness inside The Yang to fit into my Yin But instead I broke my pride. As quickly as they came, they went And a part of me was lost Extinguishing hope with every flame My insides, permafrost And I Could not stop the growing divide As much as I feared the world I had no place to run, nowhere to hide. So many faces, my heart races From the shadows of my past Life torn asunder, makes you wonder Where's a happiness that lasts? I’ll never fret nor regret How I’ve come through my darkest days I'm rescued by a brilliant light The eons in your gaze My mind, the blossoming burden yet blissfully blank, And all can see. The wildly symphonic, strangely hypnotic Affect you have on me. You’ve shaken my soul, an untold feat No one else could comprehend In the fathoms lie the final prize My heart within your hand And I Have realized I want so much more You have shown me my world As though I've never seen it before. As the months fly by, to the untrained eye It would seem like it’s been years Time's spent now, as will only allow With smiles and happy tears It’s floating there, in the heavy air; Weighing on the gale And once released upon the seas You’re the zephyr in my sail. In my time of need you’re at my heed; Your arms, my steady shield. Your mind, a vault of fearless wit, Making words a sword to wield. Though scattered by the light of day Our nights are filled with bliss. The shallows send us with the tide That turns with every kiss. You have given me the chance To seek out the life I want to live To show the rest of my world I have a want to love, so much to give. Yet even with the stars above I cannot tell you what lies ahead But the face inside the mirror, That once looked back at me in fear, Is now the one that laughs instead.

Vacuum 02:12
Even in the silence, you will hear it No words, but silent signals scream and shout It chills the gills, it shakes the waking spirit It stars the empty silence of The Doubt Everybody holds a vacuum in their heart Everybody holds a vacuum in their heart It lingers every echo when they fall It basks in passing moments' grasping glow It blinds the sun from crawling out beyond the tunnel's haggard sprawl Where the fissure fills up the core til it explodes Everybody holds a vacuum in their heart Everybody holds a vacuum in their heart It's the emptiness that strikes you when it sparks Everybody holds a vacuum in their heart

Up in the hallowed halls Deep in resounding tombs Beating through the walls And into the gloom Caught in foundations Foundered in sweeping swoons In rich incantations Can you feel it resume? Open the threshold to rusting signs Close your eyes, it's the end of the line Stuck in the past disguises Stretching out beyond tense Reviewing old surprises Renewing dulling sense Still in the stories Falling at terminal speed Valleys before me Descend into rotting weeds Widened horizons all look dark to the blind So close your eyes, it's the end of the line Hold your position Take no more space This rough intuition Keeping ground from face The abyss all below No ascent into blue All descent as we go All is old that was new Enclose the void, rot to the spine Close your eyes, it's the end of the line

In the morning of a Black Cherry Sunrise The moment, a rather awkward illusion It comes, and then it goes And to where, I’ll never know That illustrious Black Cherry Sunrise I’ve never asked the gods for perfection I keep hope and faith well enough on my own But sometimes they give me a glance at direction That’s worth more to me than diamonds and gold How oft have I woke To the bright, warm orange sunlight Faint trace of a kiss still lingering on my brow And with the blue skies greeting Red robin’s New Year song I find you are no ghost, But alive and with me all along. In the eve of a Black Cherry Sunrise, The snow, giving way to the rain now Spring trees, how they sway Through these blustery days I wonder what trouble be blowing my way The tide's getting tight ‘round the bar And many an hour's been wasted today When the telephone rings ‘It’s your savior!’ It sings Then fast as my heart beats, Out the door I slip away To open roads I go For ahead, not behind me Lies a fortune beyond all reason and compare And with every brilliant moment I spend cradled in your arms I find it worth more than time Lost and listless in the bars At the peak of a Black Cherry Sunrise The rain, now the sun and a rainbow The light off the lake Gives a welcoming break When you look back before the world Gave a chance for you to wake. In the morning Of a Black Cherry Sunrise In the morning of a Black Cherry Sunrise
