"When you're driving out to visit me
I'll be waiting on the porch
Of a castle lacking electricity
and hey remember there's no phone
-----
And if I'm not around that tiny shack
Look for me down by the creek
I'm sure I'll be there with my feet in the water
Fishing for a brand new soul
------
Hope you remember that I'm out of wine
If you bring some - hope it's red
You and me we will get drunk in the meadow
And then lay there til' the sun rises again
--
Could you lead this life I lead?
Could you feel this love i feel?
Forget all about the norm
Open your eyes
--
And as the birds wake you up again
Greet them with a warming smile
You've just been kissed by something beautiful
You're blessed with days now make 'em count"

"To have you
Inches away
Heart trembling
Breath gasping
Brain in another skull
-------------------
Tear down every wall
And burn all remnants born
Kill the norm
Love the storm
That is us
All because
I was wrong all along
I was wrong all along
---------------------
So start me up again
Sick of this decadence
Just put your lips on mine
And we become the storm
---------------------
Nothing but the ocean
Could drown this notion of
Yearning hearts
Tired lungs
Bloodshot eyes
Tense cold hands
All my flaws in your arms
All my flaws in your arms
----------------------
So start me up again
Sick of this decadence
Just put your lips on mine
And we become the storm

"The ocean
It ties us
Together
Mirroring the sun
But my darling
I swear you are
An island with currents all around
------------
And cyclones
Are in season
As Jackson takes me to reef
All of my thoughts
Me as nothing
But a tourist
Inside of you my dear
--------------
Still your name
Is tattooed on my brain
Yet I dance like you've never been on my mind
Oh, to bring home
Yet another you
Til' I drown in this sea of cruel bare skin
You did leave a mark

"If I was
More than this
I'd say to you just fly away
My little bird
You're more to me
Than I could ever let you know
--------------
And I don't know
Just for how long
I kept that thought inside my head
Though now it seems
I'm finally free
My feet are swift and they're carrying me
I may not now
To where that is
But I'm pretty sure I'll be alright
You see when darkness settles in
Just shine a light and lead the way
Just lead the way
----------------
Fully aware of what needs to be
Done to stay this way
Listen, everyone
Please don't follow me
I'm doing this alone
For my own good

Progress

"People cry on your shoulder
You don't know why you grow colder
All you know is that you used to be like them
Another thought haunting my mind
Is (that) I was once my own mountain
But now it seems all I'm searching for is me
And I guess you could call it progress
That I am laying at your feet
cuz' it seems like everytime I fight back
I can't get further than to your knees
And then you think this is as low as
A man can possibly have sunk
But now they're diggin' me a hole now
While I stand starin' back at you
I hereby quit
Renounce what I am and ever was
Cuz' I see no point in patching up
A ship that clearly has no sails
Giving in, because this is just a dream
Regardless of what I'm burning down this maze
And I guess you could call it progress
That I am laying at your feet
cuz' it seems like everytime I fight back
I can't get further than to your knees
And then you think this is as low as
A man can possibly have sunk
But now they're diggin' me a hole now
While I stand starin' back at you
Tell me is this progress?"
