Grow Together

My charge hereafter, you can barely see
But who’s growing faster when you’re holding onto me?
My blood forever, not a word you can say
But how simply clever in the cleverest of ways
Under moonlight, fast asleep
Holding you tight and waiting to see
As you and I grow together
My soul hereafter, when you look at me
What timeless laughter, how innocent a glee
My heart forever, grow along with me
My greatest treasure, my pearl of the sea
Under moonlight, fast asleep
Holding you tight and waiting to see
As you and I grow together
Weighed down, a force that inspires
A love alive ignites a fire

Voltaire

I’m taking in the sights and sounds
Not making any waves around
Just a pair of eyes and ears
We are rolling…
From far away I’m safe and sound
Content to find and not be found
From a place up high where I can see
We are rolling… say something!
Just a pair of eyes and ears
From a place up high where I can see
I just want to know but not to do
We are rolling…

Wolves

I’ve been walking down this path
For so long now, can’t turn back
My obsession fills a hole
In my future, in my soul
When who should come
But this temptress, feeding all my wolves?
Vigilantes digging out my roots
So effective, feeding all my wolves but one
My dear sister, you come alone
Your tormentor still at home
All your bruises, my boiling blood
Feeling helpless, threatening to flood
When who should come
But this angel, taming all my wolves?
One promise, buried in my oath
To this stranger, taming all my wolves
But one remains untamed within
And I wonder: should I take
This broken system to my grave?
When who should come
But these zealots, becoming all my wolves?
With an offer - how could I refuse? -
To wreak vengeance, becoming all my wolves
But one retains some honor within

Persistence

All’s well that ends well, is the opposite true?
Can a bittersweet ending a good life undo?
What is the difference in the memories made
Snuffed out in an instant, or slowly they fade?
Be still your breaking heart
Be still your breaking heart
All’s well that ends well, and all that’s well ends
And that bittersweet ending time too will mend
All the world’s history will always be true
All of the good times, they’ll follow you too
Be still your breaking heart
Be still your breaking heart
The truth stays even when the skin is gone
The truth stays even when the tears are falling
Truth stays even when the memories go
The truth stays even when the light is gone
(Be still your breaking heart)
The truth stays even when the skin is gone
The truth stays even when the tears are falling
(Be still your breaking heart)
Truth stays even when the memories go
The truth stays, the truth stays
The love you give can never be undone
The life you live, brilliant as sun
Will have been lived still when we are gone
And will persist until the final dawn
You lived and you loved and were loved
You lived and you loved and were loved
You lived and you loved and were loved
And no one can take that away

The 20th Century
06:30

Ten thousand years of patience coming to a head
The pinnacle of human progress, countless millions dead
“The best life has ever been,” is that what was said
Among freezing widows waiting in crowded lines for bread?
Is this really any better?
The path to untold fortune, buried underground
A remedy to undue suffering finally is found
Those with the keys to kingdoms take a look around
Hear the call of devastation and revel in the sound
Are we really any better?
It’s too late now to un-take those lives
Too late now to un-twist the knife
Too late now to un-spill the blood
Too late now to contain the flood
It isn’t over yet, or so they’ve said
And now our biggest threat is something in our heads
How many times?
How many countless lives
Must we sacrifice
Before you’re satisfied?
That’s somebody’s child!
(Why?)
And now eternity has opened wide
The only certainty is under mines
Here come the curtains, see? And now the lights
We’ll spend eternity wondering why
We’ll spend eternity wondering why
We’ll spend eternity wondering why
We’ll spend eternity wondering why
We’ll spend eternity wondering why

I heard your message, I heard it clear as day
And I’ve been thinking long and hard about what I want to say
So I’ve got an offer - something you might want to know
I could be an asset, take you where you want to go
So what do you say? Am I what you’re looking for at last?
Oh what do you say? I could give you something more if you’d ask
Oh what do you say?
I sent a postcard with all that I can do
I slipped it underneath your door and I’m waiting here for you
It’s been all summer now, and I’m wondering if it’s me
Did I get it wrong somehow, about who I want to be?
So what do you say? Am I what you’re looking for at last?
Oh what do you say? I could give you something more if you’d ask
Oh what do you say?
Dim go the lights and silent go the sounds
And I can’t see anyone around
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?

Infancy
08:17

Who could have known things would go this way?
Some new unknown every single day
Stay a while and you’ll see
A certain chaos in its infancy
Just the way it has to be
A certain level of spontaneity
Never a dull moment with you around
I’m just holding on
And if I could slow it down a little bit
What would I do with myself then?
And if I could keep it calm and quiet
Wouldn’t it mean the music would end?
Stay a while and you’ll see
A certain beauty in her infancy
Just the way it ought to be
A long-awaited spontaneity
Never a dull moment with you around
I’m just holding on
And if I could slow it down a little bit
What would I do with myself then?
And if I could make it calm and quiet
Wouldn’t it mean the music would end?
And what then?
Oh what then?
Oh what then?
Aimlessly shuffling
Dangerous monotony
Who could have known things would go this way?
Some new unknown every single day
And all my plans go out that nursery door
Expectations strewn across the floor
But I’d be lying if I didn’t say
I wouldn’t want it any other way
I wouldn’t want it any other way
I wouldn’t want it any other way
I wouldn’t want it any other way
I wouldn’t want it any other way
I wouldn’t want it any other way
I wouldn’t want it any other way
I wouldn’t want it any other way
