Fractured Bones
Relentlessly red lips parting to whisper secrets
But I guess it's the way her hair reveals the neck he never forgets
Did you ever notice how the tough choices
seem to leave inevitable trails of uncertainty in our voices?
My thoughts are disappearing in the time between the seconds
Is that thunder in the distance?
There is always a story hidden
underneath it all
In less than a second the first raindrops will start to fall
Bones always try to bend under strain
but exposed to more than they can take
they cease resistance and break
Maybe it’s too late
but I’ll be waiting for you under that old copper beech, I once told you about, by the lake
My thoughts are disappearing in the time between the seconds
Is that thunder in the distance?
There is always a story hidden
underneath it all
In less than a second the first raindrops will start to fall

May The Bridges I Burn Light The Way
I guess I fell off the Earth again
It seems gravity lets go of me every now and then
What do you see on the back of your eyelids
when you close your eyes?
In there in the undisturbed dark it is sometimes easier to see if you’ve been led astray
May the bridges I need to burn light the way
I’ve read somewhere
that interplanetary dust particles find themselves between the end of one star’s lifetime
and the beginning of the formation of a new solar system
I’m sorry but I can’t stay
May the bridges I burn light the way
I’m sorry but I can’t stay
May the bridges I burn light the way
The Earth casts its shadow into space
while you close your eyes
and I wonder what secrets you keep in the lines on your face
I guess we are both beautifully broken in our own ways
I’m sorry but I can’t stay
May the bridges I burn light the way
I’m sorry but I can’t stay
May the bridges I burn light the way

Straight Lines
There is something vastly captivating about straight lines
Especially the ones extending infinitely in opposite directions
I wonder where they are off to as they disappear into the stillness beyond the pines
Straight lines
Straight lines
It is beautiful how they cut through all the complex structures surrounding them
completely unaffected
I love you dangerously
but you know where to find me
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines
Vertiginous drops to the valleys below
Like a fragment of lost words I heard somewhere a long time ago
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines
Straight lines

Restlessness

Restlessness
Restlessness, restlessness
That constant longing for something I can’t explain will always be hovering in the corners of my mind I guess
When I was a kid I was sure I’d turn to stone if I had to stay at the same place for too long
and I guess I’ve never stuck around anywhere long enough to find out if I was wrong
Restlessness, restlessness
You used to laugh and remind me that it’s my own fault that my life is always such a mess
Recently I’ve been reading a lot about black holes
And I’m sure if we listen carefully enough we can hear them whisper secret to our souls
When I was a kid I was sure I’d turn to stone if I had to stay at the same place for too long
and I guess I’ve never stuck around anywhere long enough to find out if I was wrong

On The Verge Of The Usual Mistake
She finds herself on the verge of the usual mistake
as she disappears between the city lights reflected in the lake
Tiny pieces of injured dreams are falling towards the Earth like snow
But no one seems to notice how beautifully they illuminate the city from below
The unintentional beauty of the vacant lots remind me of her
vanishing into the night in an elegantly frayed synthetic fur
Tiny pieces of injured dreams are falling towards the Earth like snow
But no one seems to notice how beautifully they illuminate the city from below
93 million miles from the sun
Tomorrow she’ll rest in the ashes of what can’t be undone
Tiny pieces of injured dreams are falling towards the Earth like snow
But no one seems to notice how beautifully they illuminate the city from below

Come Away With Me

Come Away With Me
The dessert reminds me of bones turned inside out and irrelevant thoughts desiccated into dust
Beautifully complicated like the abstract maps silently hiding in the textures of rust
Come away with me
Come away with me
Let’s follow the unanswered questions further into the desert
You look so ridiculously good in that shirt
Come away with me
Come away with me
The veins on the back of your hand
seem like portable reflections of the shadows resting in the lines in the sand
Come away with me
Come away with me
Nothing is ever going to change unless we start to see things differently
Come away with me
Come away with me

When The Shadows Start Moving Like Secrets
The sun just disappeared into the ocean
but translucent clouds reflect the last rays with radiant devotion
The sand is still warm
and damn you look good with your salty hair falling down over your eyes
Here we are
Right between sunset and nightfall
This brief hesitation
caused by the Earth’s rotation
My thoughts are drifting away between breaking waves like strayed wanderers
and the shadows start moving like secrets
Here we are
Right between sunset and nightfall
This brief hesitation
caused by the Earth’s rotation
Behind us the city is waiting for our ceaseless restlessness to take over
Always present in my blood like a wild rover
You pass me the rum
as we disappear down vibrant streets
I don’t think we’re gonna get any sleep tonight
But I’m up for a morning swim when we reach daylight

Driving At Night
Another city is disappearing behind us
I watch the last streetlights fade away in the rearview mirror
An exhilarating rush through my veins
as we are driving into the darkness in front of us
I feel free free free free
and the salt in the air tells us we are getting closer to the sea
I don’t know how you got this car
and we’ve both lost track of where we are
But some of the most beautiful paths can only be discovered by getting lost
We kiss the speedlimit goodbye
A sense of euphoria that reminds me of recent dreams where I dreamt I could fly
I feel free free free free
and the salt in the air tells us we are getting closer to the sea
When we go back I know that something needs to change
But right now life is just as beautiful as the stars above the mountain range
