The Accumulate 03:55
lyrics
buy track
You’re not so far away from the place you used to be, but it feels like eternity. You’re not sure you got to stay in all the places you had to see. But it’s too late, they’re not what they used to be. Something must create this weight. Something must accumulate. And you try to catch the flow, but you can’t hang on, ‘cause there’s nothing you really know. Time strikes pathways in your head, like the river carves up the land. And you can repeat everything they said, still there’s nothing you can understand. The more you try to guess, the more you realize we’re living in a mess, a fiction in disguise. Something must create this weight. Something must accumulate. And you try to catch the flow, but you can’t hang on, ‘cause there’s nothing you really know. Someone’s calling out your name in a language you don’t understand. Close your eyes and take their hand. Something must create this weight. Something must accumulate. And you try to catch the flow, but you can’t hang on, ‘cause there’s nothing you really know.

No Way Out For Me 04:38
lyrics
buy track
Oh without you is all I can take. When I’m beside you, it makes my heart break. I’ve been sitting here for far too long waiting for your call or text or something. Don’t look like it’s gonna happen, so no way out for me. I can’t blame you for everything, but I’m going to, ‘cause I want you to feel that sting just like I felt it, baby. I don’t know what you were thinking of when you shut me down, and why I stuck around. No way out for me. No way out for me.

Wonder Wonder 05:09
lyrics
buy track
When do you know that it’s all over? When can you see that it’s the end? Who has the right to say it’s over, and who has the power to say when to start again? It’s all the same to me. I’d almost rather be lying silent. Who told the world to tell this story? What kind of life should go this way? Who had the right to throw this karma? And who had the power to blacken every day? It’s all the same to me. I’d almost rather be lying silent. It’s all the same to me. So far as I can see, there is no mystery. And there’s nothing left for me but lying silent. Wonder, wonder – I’m so tired now…

Real Life 04:29
lyrics
buy track
I used to play my songs by myself in a lonely room. I used to write my words for no one else in the world but you. And now I’m on my own, not quite sure who to direct them to. But I keep playing on, hoping one of us figures out the truth. ‘Cause it’s a real life, like it never was before. Well there’s a fine, fine line between reinvention and apocalypse. I haven’t had the time to figure out which one of them this is. So on and up I go, putting the pieces of my head in place. And I may never know what is the image of my future face. ‘Cause it’s a real life, like it never was before. I look to all manner of stuff and things, to keep my mind from grinding and make my heart sing. One hand complying with the watchful eye, and then there’s one hand defiantly reaching for the sky. If one and one make two, does that mean now I’m only half of a whole? Why am I asking you, who believes the universe is dark and cold. Yeah I’ve been on my own, writing words without any ears to know. But I still play my songs, hoping one of us finds the better way to go. ‘Cause it’s a real life, like it never was before. It’s a real life.

Silence of the Disabused 03:53
lyrics
buy track
I have no preconceptions that have not been disabused. My heartbreak is part of me. It’s blood and bone and cannot be unfused. And I know I’ll never be the same. Some silences – they have no name. But bit by bit and breath by breath, with every ounce of strength I’ve left, I’m holding on to steady the flame. No one knows how or when mo(u)rning comes and dies again. What we know, what we feel, in the silence of the real. Never be the same…

Where You Go 04:17
lyrics
buy track
I’ve missed you every day I’ve been without you. I know we hold each other in our hearts. Don’t think you know how much I think about you, and how much it hurts to know that we’re apart. I’m sorry for the things I couldn’t give you. I’m sorry for the times I made you cry. Don’t know if I can ever make it up to you, but every day of my life I will try. And while you’re on your own and building something – a life with love and adventure all your own, remember one thing: My life would be nothing without you. Now that I will be without you, every day I’ll think about you, and hope you’ll take me with you wherever you go. There’s no place I go where I’m not with you, oh. So living without you is something I’m never gonna do. And now you’re on your own and building something – a life with love and adventure all your own, don’t forget this one thing: My life would be nothing without you. And I will never be without you, cuz every day I’ll think about you, and know you’ll take me with you wherever you go. Wherever you go, I hope you know…. I love you.
