Rorschach Blots

Give me time and I will learn the art
Choosing my own mind over my heart
Staring at the shadows all alone
Driven by the longing to go home

'Cause honestly I feel so safe around you
It's unsettling

She don't know what it means but it doesn't matter
The fact is I can't forget her
All these rorschach blots, bottle of scotch are driving me insane
In every single circumstance
We see things in a way that makes most sense
All these rorschach blots, bottle of scotch are messing with my brain

Build a wooden boat to sail away
All the sins that haunt you everyday
As you drift, there's nothing left to say
Starlit ocean, you will be my grave

I don't know what it means but it doesn't matter
The fact is I can't forget her
All these rorschach blots, bottle of scotch are driving me insane
In every single circumstance
We see things in a way that makes most sense
All these rorschach blots, bottle of scotch are messing with my brain

In every single circumstance
We see things in a way that makes most sense
All these rorschach blots, bottle of scotch are messing with me

Take Our Time

You lie in bed
All your fears are clouding your head
The words they said
Got you feeling like you're better off dead
You call your friends
But none of them are picking up. No one understands
All they said, '(we) Won't stop the flow
No, we won't wait for you'. No, it's not the end

We're gonna find a way to say we made it through the night

When your eyes are finally dry
And you're sick of saying 'well, I tried', I know
If you think you've lost your mind
Hold my hand, stay by my side, won't go.
Explore the roads and possibilities
We should take it slow
Let's take our time and make some memories
I just wanna make them all with you

You've reached the end
No more tears to cry. No more broken hearts to mend
You've reached sweet land
Sailing through the storm on the ship that you command

When your eyes are finally dry
And you're sick of saying 'well, I tried', I know
If you think you've lost your mind
Hold my hand, stay by my side, won't go.
Explore the roads and possibilities
We should take it slow
Go to places that we haven't seen
Feed our mind and soul
Let's take our time and make some memories
I just wanna make them all with you

DYWTBM

Strolling hand in hand on lamplit streets at 3am
Your heart beats, do you want to be mine?
Do you want to be mine?

I have no command over these arms that wrapped around your shoulders
Do you want to be mine?
Do you want to be mine?

Make me swear I never missed your warm breath on my ear
You whisper, 'do you want to be mine?
Do you want to be mine?'

The bar is too crowded
We go to my car and
Against all good sense
I am taking my chances
Shoes on the floor
And I'm wanting you more
Baby, lock all the doors
'Cause I wanna be yours

(Alt version)

The bar is too crowded
I go to my car and
Against all good sense
I let go of my chances
Shoes on the floor
'Cause I'm wanting you more
So I'm closing this door
Though I wanna be yours

Raconteur

Tell me where your treasure is
Tell me, what does your heart miss?
Tell me of the men you've kissed
In this city made of mist

Tell me of your search for truth
Through the lens of foolish youth
Tell me what you had to lose
In this life we did not choose

There's much to say
These sunken eyes won't stay awake for long
But I will stay
From morning light until the break of dawn

Meaningful Silence (Our Song)

Don't worry
About the things that have been bothering you for so long
Don't worry
About all of the ways this could go wrong

Just tell me how you really feel
You don't have to pretend when you're with me
'Cause in the end
I'm still your friend

You told me
You're afraid that I would get hurt
Well don't you worry
I'm not asking for much, you have my word

Tell me how you really feel
You don't have to pretend when you're with me
'Cause in the end
I'm still your friend

And when you see that we were meant to be all along
When it's all clear
I will be here
Singing our song

Prodigals

I hear them calling
They're calling out to me
They tell me freedom is here
Yeah freedon's finally here
And all the while rain is falling
Just like notes on a symphony
They tell me not to feel fear
'Cause freedom's finally here

'Take one bite to take the fall
And we'll be right next to you throught it all'
And with these words I saw, with these words I saw

I once was caged but now I'm free and I don't really wanna go home
I once was blind but now I see, and I don't really wanna go home
I've paid the price I know the cost, don't preach to me I know I'm lost
And if my father calls for me tell him I don't really wanna go

Tell me again
What's it like on the other side?
Are you still living in fear?
Are you still living in fear?
Aren't we all just human?
We turn to dust when we die
And sacrifice every year
To please the gods we hold dear

No I don't wanna go back to where I couldn't run
Do you see me now, I've only just begun
And I won't stop to lay my head until I reach the sun
No I don't wanna go back to where I couldn't run

Yvaine

Before Time comes and takes what isn't his
Into his storeroom full of dust
Before he comes, Yvaine I'll tell you this
Some things just aren't meant to last

Before death comes and whispers in my ear
All of the secrets that she keeps
Before she comes, Yvaine please listen dear
As Stormhold hold weeps and Faerie sleep

Take a look back at all the roads we've crossed
We've gone to Babylon by candlelight
And though at times we've gotten lost
Now we're all right, now we're all right

So, don't let your eyes get drenced in rain
We did not walk this road in vain
Yvaine, Yvaine, Yvaine, Yvaine
The love we share will never change

My only queen
My fallen star
I love you near
I love you far

Maybe

What I'm about to say will take the kind of courage use to
Cut a wire from a bomb
The kinds of things that you will hear will resemble
A bottle of wine fermented too long
My mouth is dry I'm up in the sky
My stomach's starting to dance
Before I die, I have to try
I have to take this chance

Oh there's a risk that you'd go away
From the friendship we're enjoying right now
But there might also be regret if we throw away
The more-than-friendship we'd be missing somehow

So I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out
We could walk around the oval as usual, asking what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together
Touched my life to the core
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you and I want to love you more

Tell me how to get to you
Tell me tell me tell me tell me what you want me to do
And if you're listening and thinking
"Is this song about me?"
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe

Oh, you are a work of art
I'm captivated by the things that you do
And though I'm jealous of the man who tried to steal your heart
The goal is that he'd envy me too

So I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out
We could walk, and talk, and travel, read, and watch
Figure out, what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together
Proved our friendship true
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you and maybe it's time that you knew
I know for certain that I love you
And I hope you love me too

Aphrodite

You're the moon that glows in the sky
Lighting up my world when it's blue
Stars they dance though late in the night
Don't you know they dance just for you?

There you are above darkened clouds
Smiling at the world from afar
With the stars you wander around
May they follow you wherever you are

Here I am, just another boy
Singing songs that others have sung
Trying to find the words to employ
To adore the goddess of love

Oh oh, you got me in a daze
No oh, it's not another phase
You gave me one look and now I can't get my mind off of you
And it's all because

I see the galaxies when I look in your eyes and I
Can't speak no I, can't speak at all
I swear to Zeus you're Aphrodite in disguise
Don't think that you can hide it from me
Oh no I never thought I'd get this close to someone so divine oh I
Can't breathe no I can't breathe at all
Aphrodite could you could you please be mine oh
Could you please be mine oh mine

Here you are, I've waited so long
Hoping you would sit down and stay
And with the stars, I'm dancing along
Like a fool, so you'd look this way

You're the moon that glows in the sky
Lighting up my world when it's blue
And here I sing, though late in the night
Hope you know I sing just for you
