Oliver, I saw you today

I sink, but I want to see you again

Oliver, my headphones are in

I’m singing along, the songs make sense

Songs make sense like never before
 they mingle with the constant flow in my chest

Oliver, the world is a blur

Your features are blurred
and so is the rest

Let me feel like a drop of the sea

Like a cell

Like a grain of sand and then

Let it go as a beautiful memory if you never want to see me again
Oliver
I know you don’t hear me

I know that I’ve lost you

You’re off in the distance

But I’ve found one thing

I’m a part of the world

The music continues and the songs make sense
Oliver, I heard your name
It emerged like music from the noise, from the buzz

Oliver, my headphones are home in that drawer by the piano
just gathering dust

Dust gathers up like dust always does
It mingles with the constant turmoil of my mind

Oliver, the world is a buzz
Your voice is unclear and so is mine

Let me feel like a drop of the sea
Like a cell
Like a grain of sand and then

Let it go as a beautiful memory if you never want to see me again
All is blurred, I know I don’t hear you
I know that I’m lost way off in the distance
but I’ve found one thing I’m a part of the world
The music continues and the songs make sense
Oliver I know you don’t hear me I know that I’ve lost you
You’re off in the distance

But I’ve found one thing
I’m a part of the world

The music continues and the songs make sense 

Oliver, I’ll see you around,
I hope that she feeds your mind to the moon

Julia

She has one friend at school now
For her sake, I just call her Julia
Julia wakes up for breakfast and dreams every night just like we do Julia’s making her smile
I wish she would smile forever
I was once talking to her and imagined I could see right through her
Julia’s awake and her souls in the air
Her aura is glowing right through ya
Do you recognize all the light in your eyes?
You answered, it’s not me, it’s Julia
You answered, I don’t know, it’s Julia
I went once to a party
And longed for somebody to be there for
Perhaps night will take over and I won’t be waiting all day anymore
She slams close the front door now
And makes her retreat up the stairs
I was once talking to her and Julia was not even there
Julia is gone and her souls in the air
Her aura is glowing right through ya
Do you recognize all the light in your eyes?
You answered, it’s not me, it’s Julia
You answered, I don’t know, it’s Julia

I awoke to a ghost on my pillow
He frightened me ever so
That my fear shook the willow
Woebegone, woebegone

It is there in your eyes

It is blue, kind of purple, sort of green
Your body starts to lilt

From side to side
T
he saddest thing I have ever seen
I awake to a ghost every evening now

Imaginary friends aren’t so bad when they help somehow
You are so beyond reach

You are so look the moon

Coming, going has always been your knack
But my ghost comes around
Every night when he’s gone I know he’ll be coming back
And I noticed that when you’re around I’m playing with my hair
I noticed when you’re not around I’m dreaming that you’re there
I noticed that I’m blushing every time I talk to you
I awoke to a ghost on my pillow
He frightened me ever so

That my fear shook the willow
I love you like the breeze

I love you like the moon
I
love you like an evanescent dove
You need me, I need you
There’s nothing we can do
So the ghost forgave my love
And I noticed that when you’re around I’m playing with my hair
I noticed when you’re not around I’m dreaming that you’re there
I noticed that I’m blushing every time I talk to you

Maybe Some Sleep
03:26
|
|||
Boarding in black on a plane
I’m numb and following ten conversations
that flow mildly like a stream
I pass through on a bridge, unnoticed
When looking back or ahead
The feeling is dead
From white wall to wall in loops
Open my eyes in the isle
Faces dull, in a lull,
I’ve got nothing to lose
Maybe some sleep
And that strange itch that used to be
Now there is nowhere to go
coming home in drawn out minutes
But I’m quietly making a prayer
That this time I will never get there
Only to find more white walls
Sterile halls and pressing conversations
Open my eyes in the dark
Suddenly I can see I’ve got nothing to lose
Maybe some sleep
Is the only way that I can dream
Walking off board in the rain
I’m drained and following ten phone calls
Oh, the world’s lighting up
Eyes brighting up
Keep me away from the beep
Keep me right here
Keep me right blind
Put me to sleep
I’ve got nothing to lose
Maybe some sleep
Is the only way that you can be
With me

Cotton Candy Love
04:35
|

Cotton candy love, moonlit strolls on boardwalks, parasols in the park

Cherry popsicles, stained glass summer sunsets, swimming in the lake in the dark

This is the beginning of forever for two

Cotton candy lovin' with you


Doorstep butterflies, an abundance of roses, movie shows and holding hands
You are my balloon, let's float up to heaven, no one else can understand
That this is the beginning of forever for two

Heavenly lovin' with you
Kisses on the cheek, kisses on the eyelids, kissing everywhere you go

Pearls of happiness, as you drop them they create fine watercolors in the snow
This is the beginning of forever for two

All these pearls of happiness with you
Maze of thorns and walls, forgotten telephone calls, clouds of jealousy arise

Hurtful words of rage, now you say I've changed, I once thought love never dies

I thought cotton candy love was something too true

Everything is broken with you
Broken memories, broken ruby necklace, broken lace of youth, broken promises, broken trust in me, broken trust in you, broken conversation, broken watercolors
This is the beginning of a life without you

Cotton candy memories of you

Summertime
03:22
|

Why does it always seem to happen in the Summertime?
Hopin’ these memories, in time, dilute and fade
Into a dusty dream where the edges aren’t so tangible
And the streets are of papier-mâché
When will I realize that Summer’s just a perfect storm
Glamoured in fervent days that swell through the night
I want my peaceful world back to the way it was before you blew my mind
Why is it always Summertime?
Maybe the heat just makes ya blind, I can’t say
Why does it always seem to come when least expected to?
In the blink of an eye a heart-shaped box can steal your soul
Make you forget the destination your directed to
Like your frozen whole
Why is it always Summertime?
Something the season left behind I can’t shake I can’t shake
Why is it always Summertime?
I can’t say

Honeymoon
03:09
|

I can see now
I can see now as clear as day that summer is gone
In fact it has long since passed away
It wasn’t abrupt
It’s just that I seemed to miss the change
The sun was just there casting it’s glare on the dashboard
All of that dust
Beautifully tucked beneath the surface Who would have known?
It would have grown into a circus Mingling on
Somewhere beyond the jagged shadows Now they appear
End of the year for an encore
For an encore
I float in the salt
Just til my eyes can’t bear the light
And try not to think without success or peace of mind Awaiting your gaze
In a peripheral delusion
With shattering hope in that optical illusion
You are unchanged
Apart from your gathered comprehensions
We operate like a machine with new extensions
I am the head
You are the heart and both are yearning to change a trend
At a dead end
But look how you try
As our throats dry were already sober
Look at the sky
It’s closing time
The day’s growing older
Look in my eye now that the honeymoon is over
I can see clear as day I can see clear as day I can see clear as day I can see clear as day

It Could Be Sin
04:05
|
|||
Wind carried in a tuneless hymn the night you wrote
I bit my lip in my fierce delight
In your silence I fear the worst is yet to come and sink into a backwards lullaby
Yearning for you gives me so much to do these days
Anything else is gray
I end up waiting all the time
Seldom I’ve heard, or had the nerve
To speak the truth
Take whims of youth
And now I’m beginning to find that it could be sin
How sweet it is
It could definitely be sin
How sweet it is
When will I get what I deserve?
A spider web, a runaway, a kaleidoscopic mind
When will I be alone for good as I rightly should?
For I know quite well the vengefulness of time
And it could be sin
How sweet it is
It could definitely be sin
How sweet it is
