The Silence Wins
03:14
|
|
||
I'm writing a letter
Filled with words which
Can't make it past my lips,
But come to life
When, dripping from the nib,
Fall on cotton.
Crafting a melody
Conveying moods
My face cannot display,
But come to life
When, singing from the strings,
Float in the air.
You won't get the message.
Won't hear a word.
That conversation will not
Occur for us.
Communication fails.
The silence wins.

A New Story
03:13
|
|
||
My story is my own to tell
A tale not long, nor dark
But muddy, muddled, and mundane
With anti-climactic arc
I'd rather hear the tale of you
A tome I don't yet know
With twists and turns – with joy and tears
Where you've been and where you'll go
And we could start a story new
With stars and clouds above
Not fantasy nor fairy tale
Just light, and life, and love

Whisper in Your Ear
03:43
|
|
||
I'll whisper in your ear
Whenever you are near
I love you, oh I love you
I love you, oh my dear
Hold your hand in mine
Tell you you're divine
I love you, oh I love you
You'll return in kind
And when we're old and gray
We'll not forget to say
I love you, oh I love you
Every single day
I'll whisper in your ear
Whenever you are near
I love you, oh I love you
I love you, oh my dear

A classic cocktail in your hand
You dance whenever there's a band
You turn all the heads in the room
Image of 1962
A yellow dress and red lipstick
I would make you my dance-card pick
You turn all the heads in the room

Nastasya
03:33
|
|
||
You're my Nastasya,
You'll be the death of me.
I'm just the idiot,
Captured by your beauty.
I can't save you from yourself
I can't save myself from you
They say you're hopeless
And you believe them too
They say you're shameless
I see it's consumed you
I can't save you from yourself
I can't save myself from you
You have worth beyond all measure
A worth not even you can spoil
I can't save you from yourself
I can't save myself from you

Spirits Kill the Past
05:05
|
|
||
Pour another one for me
Fill up another glass
Libations free the spirits
Spirits kill the past
I drink to pass the time
To calm a troubled mind
I drink to all who'll raise a glass
I drink to kill the past
Pour another one for me
Fill up another glass
Libations free the spirits
Spirits kill the past
I seek out bravery
To be all I can be
But I can't be without my glass
I drink to kill the past
Pour another one for me
Fill up another glass
Libations free the spirits
Spirits kill the past

Waiting
03:14
|
|

Waiting
Look out the window
Static horizon beyond a blur of brush
What I left behind, I left behind.
All that lies ahead is blind.
Waiting
Look out the window
Static horizon beyond a blur of brush
What I have to lose, I've lost before.
I could never lose what's at my core
Waiting
Look out the window
Static horizon beyond a blur of brush

Speak of Your Appeal
03:07
|
|
||
Never had the courage
To tell you how I feel
Never could bring myself
To speak of your appeal
Time passed so fast
Before I knew it you were gone
Never came to pass
Never had the courage
To tell you how I feel
Never could bring myself
To speak of your appeal
My chance is shot
Is it forever? I don't know
I can hope it's not

Death of a Rogue
03:14
|
|
||
The sweet young girl from down the way
Had fallen for a rogue.
A silver tongue, seersucker suit,
A taste for all in vogue.
Though she was not but four and ten
They Hastily eloped.
His prize in hand, his mask came off,
Destroying all she'd hoped.
The callous man's abusive hands
Left bruises, cuts, and scars.
A pinch of arsenic in his soup
Would be a change in stars.
She packed her bags the morning of
And served the man his death.
A life of cherished sovereignty
Began with his last breath.

Zombie Queen
03:11
|
|
||
Your trail of slack-jawed stricken
Clambering to be the next
Undead masses heed your every word
Zombie Queen!
Undead Princess!
Infecting all within your reach!
Revel in your horde
While they have yet to turn
Undead coup is festering now
Zombie Queen!
Undead Princess!
Infecting all within your reach!
I won't be touched!
I won't be tainted!
I won't drink your brew!
Zombie Queen!
Undead Princess!
Infecting all within your reach!

The Road Unknown
03:23
|
|
||
I don't know where this road leads
It winds beyond the pass
I could be safe at home here
But safety rarely lasts
You could have an easy
And well-adjusted life
With clean pastoral problems
Not terrifying strife
But what's beyond the mountains?
What's on the other side?
Where all of that adventure
Awaits along the ride
Let's head out together
Let's face the road unknown
We will encounter danger
But never will alone.

Spin a Golden Thread
04:51
|
|
||
Spin, spin, a golden thread
A thread to bind my heart
Spin your thread with smiles and laughs
Of moments filled with glee
Spin, spin, a golden thread
A thread to bind my heart
Spin your thread with stolen looks
When your eyes lock with me
Spin, spin, a golden thread
A thread to bind my heart
Spin your thread with sighs and whispers
Resting in my arms
Spin, spin, a golden thread
A thread to bind my heart
Spin your thread with tears and sobs
Together we will share
Spin, spin, a golden thread
A thread to bind my heart
Spin your thread of love such that
Forever we may be
