Afterglow 03:53
I want it back: that bliss, that shuffling, random bristles, candy wrappers, sweet pasta and how you sugared everything after 5 days of hope, were 3 days of bitterness then smouldering silence thrived the afterglow only that Sunday still flares where the silhouette dissolves I won’t forget your smile and hug The town at New Year’s Eve still sings the melody of your steps and I sing along Waving weightless ribbons like words With leaden templates too heavy but that cold robots' hand was warmer those glass eyes in the night were sadder deader than artificial flowers in the concrete garden I’ve left with hollows With hollows instead of trees With memory branches hard to clamber And in this wood The loss becomes a path of habit Then overgrows with indifference No more the same days to hurt you And the whole eternity to smooth your wrinkles No more helplessness that cast you down And... All the warmth Left in a warm coal like all suits and ties you're no longer wear And your strong fragrance slowly fades The saddest lines never wait to be written that's the only reason they never die instead of us: end up on sides alone In the same hallways of that long black day Old man and child before the flooded fields Old man and child under the fury clouds If I knew that one would ride the pale horse I would tight hold his hand Gratefulness

Hntr 02:57
Stay gold In the houselights' Silence Wait the bursts of clapping But sun leads us astray Betrayed us with the rain Us astray I'm falling from the cliffs to the sea hissing like burning coal The roaring waves turned my last words into the song of an upcoming storm No matter, What fire you tend it just can't stand That day When your voice fades away And everyone will come to see that rain Pouring down through the hollowed roof. Through the hollowed roof skies stand still lifeless through the hollowed roof Sun leads us astray And welcomes here the rain ...Leads us astray With all the words that touch so deep and with memory fills my soul I'll find myself on the shallows claiming every storm

Chauffeurs 03:27
Crashes after what stroke, the quietness shrieks, and the echoes, Echos traveling Through the night phone calls Loosing brightness on the grey roads, and the passenger's safety belts. Hopeless smiles. Homeless miles. Oh God And I'll push it back, I'll take as many miles as I can Drive, where’s always the promise at dawn Drive, where’s nothing given at sunset And I don’t know where I’m going But I’m sure road will take me somewhere Don't walk by me; And I don’t know what I’m doing But I’m sure diligence will make me someone Don't walk too far from me And I don’t know what I’m giving But I’m sure the quantity will make it something Don't walk in front of me; And I don’t know who I’m But I’m sure the time will show it Don't walk behind me, I may not lead Drive, where’s always the promise at dawn Drive, where’s nothing given at sunset I'll push it back, I'll take as many miles as I can Take it back and push back every lost dream Take it back and push back every hope that shatters reality “I follow the sundown until it hits me”

Fins 03:13
I'll hold your hands, until you hold mine Until they change to fins and slip out with the tide I was straining sand on your bare foot, and your broad smile lit up With a golden shoreline Where did I lose all of that beauty? My judges are our dreams unfulfilled The gleam of solace, and pleasure of another's embrace, is the gift? Is the end of being tired? All memory places hide heartaches, in the grasses waving round me Where you never walk, that you'll never leave Fading light of a retreating torch My heart’s rotten My heart is a rotten strawberry
5.
the last words hang on the vultures tongues and hands wear the claws to carry my feathers away my warmth burns sometimes and I keep the change in the same pocket with my lucky coin Teach us to care and not to care I’m the shield above the who I’m not Teach us to care and to not to stare I’m a postman wrote and burned all the letters in his bag this time heals nothing always the time is not enough when the coffin welcomes The ice's still melting in half emptied jar Letdown is the first joy of grown-up Back wheels hang almost over the edge But my fingers are long enough to play white keys that are Echoes of the past And I can hear My voice so careless about how things work; I'd love to lock up In grey haze Over black woods of denial But for now something's wrong with the melody And I see those thickets are just painted decorations And I have to appear grown-up and sad
