Creepers

First it's sweet
- Then sour
That acidic tang creeps on your taste buds
And crystallizes your veins

Do you scream out?
- Of course not
Your limbs feel lethargic
And your mouth can't open

So you wait
for the tarantula to come get you

Out in the Open

Fox
- Hiding in the den
Too afraid that the
Bloodhounds will come for her

Dog
- In the meadows
Searching for
His purpose in life

One night she decides to dart
Out of her comfort zone

One night he decides to wait
And give her a chance

The stars are spectating
The nightfall is coming
Don't think - just do

Xing

Cars
90 mph
Skimming other cars
Air conditioning
Rolling waves of heat
Sea of strangers
Turning lane
Left... No, right
Second, third chair
Fourth row
Images
Flickering on the screen
Words
Never ending

You - crossing my mind
Am I running through yours?

Whispers

A lover's schizophrenia?
Is that what's echoing in my mind?

Voices
- Telling me that day is my destiny
And embrace it
But why do I hold onto his sunshine?
And why can't he hear my call?

Voices
- Telling me that night is a far better investment
In my time
But why do I keep hiding in the shadows?
And why does he do the same?

Wouldn't it be nice to have both?
But night and day never meet
- And that's the way it should be

Wings

Aren't you clever?
With nothing more than silence
You have captured my heart
A butterfly in
a bottle

Isn't it odd?
I might be a silver tongue
But even I
don't have words
for this

Shipped As of Yesterday

You don't want
These broken goods -
There's barely anything left

You don't want
To repair it -
Scotch tape won't work

You don't want
To know the address -
It isn't you

Riverwalker

I wade out into
The river
- The river that has captured
My heart

I run my fingers through
The currents
And enjoy the peace
That flows through me

I feel it tug me towards
The waterfall
Hearing the echoes of
Broken hearts

I wade out into
The river
- The river that has captured
My heart

Iris

This iris
- She's blooming, you know
Her color is like twilight
And her scent is breath-taking

This iris
- She's dying, you know
Her leaves are falling off

And her petals are wilting

Dawn/Twilight

I buried you long ago
With my bare hands
- Covered in dirt
You reach from
Your grave
- Unknowingly

I reach back
towards light
- Expecting nothing
He holds me
With warm hands
- Filled with comfort

You tell me moon
He tells me sun
While I lie on the earth
Wishing to fly

Paradiso

They've asked me before
If I have found paradise
And I say with a bitter smile
"Yes, I suppose I have."

If it's in a flower's bloom
Or in the song of a swallow
Then I hear it all the time
Buzzing in my ears
But if it's in a broken mirror
Or in a dying man's heart
Then I live through it
Every single day

They've asked me before
If I have found paradise
And I say with a bitter smile
"Well, have you?"

Wistful

Is what I feel
Just an echo
'Cause the only thing
That I hear
Is my hoping heart
