Safe Return

"Don't you blame it all on life,
Since it's fading evermore
Each day in a fog,
It's a frail love you left.
It's clear in all the things you do
And it's clear in all your words,
And you're thinking all the time -
How the nights do lay upon me
As my veil uncovered sickly dreams.
All you want is safe return.
You are longer overdue
Than a riverbed run dry.
Now you're thinking all the time -
How the nights do lay upon me
As my veil uncovered sickly dreams.
All you want is safe return -
It's a frail love you left.
And you're thinking all the time -
How the nights do lay upon me.
It's a frail love you left."

Days of Worship

"In my days of worship I will most try and in my days of worship I will die -
So I emptied out my closet -
For such a thing, time is learning -.
Time is learning -
Watch it fly and it turns a static mind overload -
So surely I decline and carry on regardless -
Who blames you? I just want to know how the fallen fought and how I came to love these little things about you -
Time is learning -
Watch it climb as she tries to find a hole in the truth and the reasons of a lie are never fully outed -
Well, who blames you -
And I just want to know why you think they blame you -
And how I came to love these little things about you?
And how I came to love these little things about you, about you -
Well in my days of worship I will most try -
Time is learning."

"It's all about real time, real things -
Anything I can touch, I can feel, I can dream lo-fi, low-key living -
She's all about no time, no things -
Anything she can find is a bliss -
In her ear father softly whispers -
Lily Flower -
Lily flower died of thirst when I tried to show her to the desert -
Now her leaves fall, I'm trying to let the raindrops touch the colours of her petals -
Anything, realize, coming down -
Will affect you, in a better sense too -
Write in low case on the side notes -
Capitol fear -
It's all about true times, true things -
Anything she can find will begin to give in slighty softer breathing -
Lily Flower -
Lily flower died of thirst when I tried to show her to the desert -
Now her leaves fall, I'm trying to let the raindrops touch the colours of her petals
It's all about a quick turn, slow burn -
Fast talk is in her mouth again -
Then became apparent that she knew this -
But she doesn't care about that -
No, she doesn't care about that no -
Lily Flower -
Lily flower died of thirst when I tried to show her to the desert -
Now her leaves fall, I'm trying to let the raindrops touch the colours of her petals -
But then became apparent that she knew this -"

"Luck has nothing to do with it -
Ask me how I'd spoken loosely of it.
Three sides make up the whole of me -
Your life is lost in here
I hope you're proud of me for knowing -
Dayside breaking on the stones, long lights sleep on the lake and though - I don't really want to go, I just want to kill you.
Softness is drowning on the fire -
Well I have nothing to prove in this
A cold heat touch on my lungs and thoughts
Three sides make up the whole of me, the whole of me -
Softness -
Soft demon touch on my face breaks anecdotes in two -
A view of a field crossed with moons beams, it's murder in the eyes of the innocent -
A fine thread rules in the corner, low growth on the bookshelves and moss on my tombstone -
Know this - I will hear nothing from you
Soft demon touch on my face breaks anecdotes in two -
A view of a depth in the twilight -
It's murder in the eyes of the innocent
A fine thread rules in the corners, low growth on the bookshelves and moss on my tombstone -
Dayside breaking on the stones, long lights sleep on the lake and though - I don't really want to go, I just want to kill you.
You're talking to me -
Softness -"

"I am following -
I am following -
Your footsteps down the hill -
I hear talking -
Like lovers in a quarrel -
A tired old rope -
I feel no trouble -
It's easy to let go -
And tie you over me -
I try to figure out where my mind went dark -
I feel you're reaching out in plagal fashion -
I feel you're-
Following-
I feel you're -
Following -
I feel you're
Talking -
I feel you're following.
I try to figure out where my mind went dark -
I feel you're reaching out in plagal fashion -"

"Some somewhere set a trap for a form –
Take a wing and a thorn –
It steps on the branch –
Some somewhere set a trap for a form –
It steps on the branch –
You don’t know how to catch the bird, in your life –
Feral –
And take time to know, it’s not yours –
Some somewhere set a trap for a form –
Take a wing and a thorn –
It steps on the branch –
Some somewhere set a trap for a form –
It steps on the branch –
You don’t know how to catch the bird, in your life –
Feral –
And take time to know, it’s not yours –
I turn truth in blue –
I turn truth in blue."
