Sienna, Philetos
Eros embers I keep warm for you
A cauldron of sensation
A sizzlin' stone in a babblin' brook
A promise, that I made
To always bring you to your highest
To be the dew in which you're driest
To bring you back to life
Sienna, Philetos
Your lexicon, it gets me flush
Like the way, you flow and groove
Fluidly move, body silently lush
Your eyes hold no compromise
Of the warmest earthen clay
Oh indeed! What a belvedere!
Calm - clear - and cool, but not a bit riske
Among the black and white
The finest shade of gray
La-da-da-da-da
For the sake of sanity
I try to keep my mouth shut
La-da-da-da-da
Cuz not everybody needs to know what's goin on
Cuz I have far too many pleasant thoughts to say
That are not meant to fall on those who'd throw them all away
But
Sienna, Philetos
Sienna, my love
Sienna, Philetos
You're the finest rest, a waking sleep
A lullaby, my reverie
An amaranthine velvet dream
Pardon me!
You snuck a peek
Into my inner monologue
Hold my breath!
Clear my thoughts
In hopes that this won't come out wrong
For all my life
Wish to be
Frank in potentially provocative honesty
So bear with me
La-da-da-da-da
For the sake of sanity
I try to keep my mouth shut
La-da-da-da-da
Cuz not everybody needs to know what's goin on
Cuz I have far too many pleasant thoughts to say
That are not meant to fall on those who'd throw them all away
But
Sienna, Philetos
Sienna, my love
Sienna, Philetos
Sienna, my love
Sienna, my love
Sienna, my love

Flat Tires, City Lights

Some days, all we do is shrug
And nod our heads,
And shed tears
Wonderin' what will become
Of all our hopes
And our fears
I always want to run
I always want to flee
But I'll stay around
If you stick with me
Cuz I can't look at you
And see anything less
Than magic
Flat tires and city lights await us
Flat tires and city lights await us
Flat tires and city lights await us
Await us
Await us
You're a handsome muse
With a generous handful of answers
And just enough reminders for me to live and learn
Gracefully
Oh what a wise and humble friend!
What a kind and generous companion!
What a noble comrade!
Mon fidele ami
Merci boucoup
Merci ma chere
J'taime
J'taime
Flat tires and city lights await us
Flat tires and city lights await us
Flat tires and city lights await us
Await us
Await us
And I know what happens next
Won't come easy
And it all remains to be seen
So I will do my best
To speak less
And simply be
Simply be
What I mean
Flat tires and city lights await us
Flat tires and city lights await us
Flat tires and city lights await us
Await us
Await us
Flat tires and city lights await us
Flat tires and city lights await us
Flat tires and city lights await us
Await us
Await us

Sherbert Skies

Sherbert skies awake me
From the night of mourning
No answers, no warnings
Life, it simply goes on
Above the clouds, surreal
Looking for curb appeal
A thousand miles from where
What do I call it?
What do I call this?
What do I call them?
What do I call you?
Stubborn feet are stampin'
Stubborn heart is handin'
Me questions I don't want to deal with
I can't make no plans
I'm done makin' demands
Of myself
Of this land
Of your heart
Of our hands
Of me
Of you
Sherbert skies awake me
From the night of mourning
No answers, no warnings
Life, it simply goes on
Above the clouds, surreal
Looking for curb appeal
A thousand miles from where
What do I call it?
What do I call this?
What do I call them?
What do I call you?
We've been lovin' with the safety on
Pull the trigger
The click is deafenin'
Russian Roulette
Love, just shoot me
Still find my ways to bleed
With the safety on
Pull the trigger
The click is deafenin'
Russian Roulette
Love, just shoot me
Still find my ways to bleed
With the safety on
Pull the trigger
The click is deafenin'
Russian Roulette
Love, just shoot me
Give me reason to believe
Give me a reason to believe
We all find out ways to bleed
Come on give me what I need
Sherbert skies awake me
From the night of mourning
No answers, no warnings
Life, it simply goes on
Above the clouds, surreal
Looking for curb appeal
A thousand miles from where
What do I call it?
Sherbert skies awake me
From the night of mourning
No answers, no warnings
Life, it simply goes on
Above the clouds, surreal
Looking for curb appeal
A thousand miles from where
What do I call it?
What do I call this?
What do I call them?
What do I call you?
What do I call it?
What do I call this?
What do I call them?
What do I call you.
What do I call it?
What do I call this?
What do I call them?
We all find our ways to bleed
Give me a reason to believe
Come on, give me what I need

Violins
05:00

|
Sounds of crickets
Tiny limbs
Violins
Tell me how cold it is in your heart tonight
Under the moonlight
I became a crooner
Should've accepted things sooner
Should've broken my own damn heart so many times
But I
I -
Don't know anything
Of what I once knew
No I
Oh I
Don't know anything
Of what I once knew
The sun makes for a foolish alibi
Under these fluorescent lights
Another night of this?
It is what it is
Beneath my spires
Always wanted to fly
But somehow so in tune
With the concrete that's grounded me
Still
I -
Don't know anything
Of what I once knew
No I
Oh I
Don't know anything
Of what I once knew
Now I can't breathe
No
I can't breathe anymore
Any longer
And I can't see things differently
I don't know how
To move farther
But I can feel
Oh I can feel
Everything
When malady becomes unbecoming
Makes me wanna flee
To cease and desist
My own existence
But I
I -
Don't know anything
Of what I once knew
No I
Oh I
Don't know anything
Of what I once knew

My portion of tears for ya
My portion of tears for ya
My portion of tears for ya
They trickle down my throat
Along with this final breath
Sunset sea air
My portion of years with ya
My portion of years with ya
My portion of years with ya
So far ain't been enough
Scares me to say this
Holdin' my breath
To see you here
Oh my darlin'!
Oh my, darlin'
Oh my darlin'!
Why am I leaving you?
You, oh
You
My hopes and my fears for ya
My hopes and my fears for ya
My hopes and my fears for ya
Grow stronger every day
My friend I love you more than I can say
Oh my darlin'!
Oh my, darlin'
Oh my darlin'!
I believe in you
You, oh
You
But don't forget me
Save some golden years for me
Cuz silver plated friends and lovers
Are a dime a dozen
Hold onto me
Save some golden years for me
Cuz silver plated friends and lovers
Are a dime a dozen
My portion of tears for ya
My portion of years with ya
My hopes and my fears for ya
Go on
And on
Oh my darlin'!
Why am I leavin'?
Oh my darlin'!
When I believe in
You
You, oh
You
Now don't forget me
Save some golden years for me
Cuz silver plated friends and lovers
Are a dime a dozen
Hold onto me
Please grow old with me
Cuz silver plated friends and lovers
Are a dime a dozen
Oh my darlin'!
Oh my darlin
Oh my darlin'

Settle down
Take a seat
Stretch your bones
Calm your skin
Take a breath
Breathe it in
And start anew
Again
Cuz I've been watching you go
Watching you go
Watching you go
Alone
Down these rabbit holes
Life's taken ahold
Draggin' you low
But I'll be here
To ease your tired soul
Like a wave
Like a wave
Who will save you from the pain this time?
Like a wave
Like a wave
Who will save you from the cost of life?
When it comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
For you
For you
Life comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
For you
For you
Silence the source
That says you don't deserve goodness
All you see is yours
We'll run our course
Take your time
Stormy Eyes
I'll be right beside you
I won't let you go
Won't let you go
Won't let you go
Alone
Down these rabbit holes
Sail's changing the course
Taking you home
Where you belong
To the arms of love
Like a wave
Like a wave
Love will save you from the pain this time
Like a wave
Like a wave
Love will take, make your shoulders light
And it comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
For you
For you
Love comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
For you
For you
So be still....
Be still
Be still
Be still!
Cuz it comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
For you
For you
It comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
Comes without a warning
For you
For you

A little red barn in the countryside
Awake at dawn to the morning's light
Can you imagine holdin' my hand in times like these?
A clawfoot tub in the evenin' rain
And laughter replaces a distant pain
Can you imagine me holdin' your head in times like this?
As brun and bronze turn to silver and grey
Through thick and thin
Sickness and sin
I'll love you the whole way
A thousand lives flash before my eyes
Never once did I believe in a life
Before the one I'm faced with now
Or the chance to start again
A million times
But when I see the world
And I think of you
I always wonder
How can I stretch the time?
How can I stay with you forever?
India in Spring,
Bali in June
An innocent kiss under a crescent moon
Can you imagine holdin' my hand in times like these?
A view of the world from a mountain top
Or a city where the people never stop
Can you imagine me holdin' your head in times like these?
As brun and bronze turn to silver and grey
Through thick and thin
Sickness and sin
I'll love you the whole way
A thousand lives flash before my eyes
Never once did I believe in a life
Before the one I'm faced with now
Or the chance to start again
A million times
But when I see the world
And I think of you
I always wonder
How can I stretch the time?
How can I stay with you...
Never once did I believe in a life
Before the one I'm faced with now
Or the chance to start again
A million times
But when I see the world
And I think of you
I always wonder
How can I stretch the time?
How can I stay with you forever?

Seasons and feelings play tricks like street magicians
Stealing pocket change with fistfuls of my heart
Deception at its best is blindingly simple
Despite it all
Despite it all
I believe
I, I believe
I, I
You can be as dry as a Saguaro
But they'll have to get through me to steal your bones
Stones roll, gather no moss, make life seem futile
But you don't have to go it alone
Fear makes frigid the heart strings
When all they need is a tender strumming
So let me play on you a song
And let your soul resonate
And you'll believe
I, I believe
I, I
Every lover grows pale in the sight of their beloved
But if you take a look, I've got a great disguise
So have you, pallid snow ivory
A figment for my dreams
A haunting memory
Several years gone by
Who knows what's changed
Our heart still bleed
That much has stayed the same
Say my prayers under my breath
And whisper your name
Sing my songs every day
The same refrain
That I believe
I, I believe
I, I
Love at its best is blindingly simple
Despite it all
Despite it all
And I believe
I, I believe
I, I believe
I, I believe
I, I
Seasons and feelings play tricks like street magicians
Stealing pocket change with fistfuls of my heart
