How we have come this far
to turn around
Speckled in pink and blue
She stands her ground
(Violet, violet,
Don’t be an eyesore)
Dappled in shades of light
At daybreak
She stands to pick a fight
with heartache
I stand in awe of her
My prison guard
(Violet, violet,
Here in a moment)
Stand to break this off
Stand to make it up
Stand to pull us down
Stand to turn around

Come down from there
And be lifted up
Be lifted up
Rung by rung
Climb your way down
Down from your perch
Lofty and high
Where you've been alone
Where you've been afraid
This is your day
Let this go
Cast it all off
Falls to the ground
Heavy and cold
Wordless and sour
The beast that devours
Now in a pile
Void of all power
Left on his own
I can’t shield you from what you’ve made
Every flaw that you won’t embrace
I can’t offer an easy way,
but I can help you escape
Come down from here?!?
Settle this score
I wanted more
I wanted more
Don’t back down when you’ve come this far
What you’ve lost isn’t who you are
Don’t just stay for a house and car
Please stay for me

you can stay
silent watching as the country wears away
you can sigh
make yourself heard as the silent things will die
you can tell me of the things you saw
at the National Museum
you can tell me of the origin of man down to the minute
in the midst of a thicket standing taller than a man
i was lost for a minute turning pebbles into sand
i was thinking of the passing of the places that i loved
every field and forest rock and hill that i knew would slowly end
because of us and our need to get around and do or die
because of oil, because of greed and because metal rules the sky
we can laugh or sit and watch the news but do we ever resist
take a walk and feel the pulsing life in things that do exist
field and flood, rocks hills and plains and cedar standing tall
sticky mud, bitumen that in our eyes eclipses all

Twenty after, and I still wander
I'm still restless to a fault
I'm always needing to get out
And though I ask for a greater measure
Of patience to see it through
I'm just always thinking years ahead of you
All the days that I've been distracted
All the days that I've been bored
All the nights spent thinking of her
Here I am, every day, and after all
these years I still want more
Are you still the one I adore?
In the middle of snowy gardens
Walking slow to stall the time
Stockholm eating up my mind
I reached an ending, I’d never been there
With nothing left to keep me well
Into your open palm I fell and laid it down

Don’t be a star without a sky
Don’t be a isolate don’t try
Cause you’re all i have in this world
And you are more than just a baby girl, baby girl
Don’t be a seeker of the night
Far from the constellations bright
Cause you’re not mine where you can see
In fact, we’ve been attached from inner parts we cannot see
They’re holding you, into me
Don’t be star without a sky
Don’t be a tiny point of light

Dreamer
You fought a lot harder to get here
Now all you fight is your own fear
oh my God!
I’m still
Full up with regrets and reactions
Question every move as it happens
oh my God!
My kingdom’s built on getting what I want
Yours seeks to meet the needs of those you love
Mine’s a catastrophe of selfish thought
Yours is the power of the flesh and blood
How you
take the time to sit and reflect here
or how you interact with a stranger
could be the proof
How can
every little thing that we don’t do
how is that supposed to convey truth?
oh my God!
My kingdom’s built on getting what I want
Yours is the kingdom of the son you love
Mine’s a catastrophe of selfish thought
Yours is the power of the flesh and blood
