ACT I
1. Bounded by the Bones
I am light
I am calling out the time
When the dark draws near
Light drops like a sphere
All I know
Bounded by the bones
I want to live
Dare not to begin
I am afraid of the fall
Even if I give it all
I walk when I cannot run
I’ll remain the only one
How long till you know
What I fear and do not show
When I’m found by the sea
I hope you will be there with me
I am light
I am calling out the time
2. I Try
I try to get by
without much light
bird sing low
hide below
My surprise, our demise
need it, I’ll keep it, must leave it
Breathe slow
You are not alone
Something’s missing, something new
Now I see your eyes
when I close mine
help me Fae, find my way
breathe I know
I am not alone
Something’s missing, something new
3. Blackbird
Cold now as I lay down, need to build my fire
I can’t take another night, hiding from my mind
Another night of whispers, know you’re sleeping fine
Let the rain caress me, arms open wide
There’s a song of longing hanging by my window
Through it I hear my blackbird sing, a voice from the ocean
I wonder why you met with me as we walked down by the beach
I would play the Hermit, you would play the Witch
I recall a breath of yours, thinking all I want is you
But I won’t wait for that painless day,
when you call and you want me too
Thoughts are what will fuck you up,
it’s the heart and not the head
If I’m wrong then we’ll live through song,
it will be like we never met
Maybe we’re a masterpiece, the perfect tragedy
Never known and never loved, never more than memories
4. This Act
Keep me restless, keep me on the edge
When it leaves, I can’t breathe, I’m getting cold
Take it all now, take that friendly arm
Take them away, keep them from getting cold
I gave you my word, that I could do better
Sometimes I wish to be someone
Why don’t you question? Why do you accept the ploy?
Then you might find, some in your life, have been lying
Now I was looking outside, I was studying the rain
I couldn’t see, how the wall was me
I gave you my word, that I could do better
Sometimes I wish, to be someone
Now that I’ve lived more, I can see clearly
The veil has dropped, I can now stop this act
to be someone/the veil has dropped
the veil has dropped/to be someone
5. Long I Hope
I walk back when I should fly,
with rain pouring down my back
flame fire, I claim my heart
back from you
Laid down fade and awake,
hoping morning’s late
For all that time and all I gave and more,
I’m alone
Drifting just me and the fall,
deep down I’ll bury it all
Hiding behind my time,
I should be forward
Can’t pull me down, I’ll fly and see the world
don’t show me, I’ll figure it out
Long I hope for the silence between the notes,
that carry life
ACT II
6. Sirens
Followed by the ocean, followed by the sea,
Maybe if I go, I will be free.
Born in a meadow where I began to breathe,
Pacing lightly, grass up to my knee.
I was caught by an omen’s thrall
I was held by the oceans almighty call
I’ve learnt to close my eyes so you will come to me
I can be a child again, sit under my tree.
Every night I think about how I’d like to leave
Plotting down these waypoints here upon my sleeve.
I was caught by an omen’s thrall
I was held by the oceans almighty call
Now I fly among the stars with one foot on the ground
Near but far enough that I cannot be found.
A riddle rather than reply was given back to me
Held so very tightly waiting for a breeze.
I was caught by an omen’s thrall
I was held by the oceans almighty call
The past a foreign country now a place where I can be
The end is moving closer like a drop upon a leaf.
Now I follow oceans, now I follow seas,
Now I hear the sirens calling out for me.
7. Would I Be So Wrong?
8. Sweet Marbled Monster
You gave it all
It was never yours
Speak true my love, your Father’s old
Like the cold wind’s chill, lurking at the door
You gave your soul
to Evermore
Speak true my love, your Mother’s own
A steel veneer, a fear of the fall
When will you learn
to live your life like your mind?
When time is the fire
in which we burn
They took it all
without a thought
Speak true my love, you won’t be harmed
Sweet Marbled Monster, a fear of the fall
I’ve been trying to get out of this place
Caught up in the winter
I’ve been waiting for you to leave me be
Caught up in the winter
I won’t carry you no more
Caught up in the winter
A Sweet Marbled Monster
When will you learn
to live your life like your mind?
When time is the fire
in which we burn
9. The Oldest Old Oak Tree
Go on ahead, to where world seems fine
a blush of a past, won’t you lay down here?
Fickle and thin, remember when
the sun took the snow?
A part of my mind
gone like the water flowing by
it’s all for the best, a spring view alone
to watch the blossom fall again.
Fickle and thin, remember when
the sun took the snow?
See there is no ghost
it’s just that the spirit’s gone to far
gleaming cadence gold
you became the elixir of my home
Fickle and thin, remember when
the sun took the snow?
Go on ahead, to where you’re lover only knows
a place you know best,
that faces due west
beneath the oldest old oak tree
Fickle and thin, remember when
the sun took the snow?
Fickle and thin, remember when
the sun took the snow?
10. When It Pours
Won’t the shoreline be my bedroom floor
Rain come pouring hoping bringing more
Over under cavelike shelter home
Wind under feet floating to the sea
Careful temptress to avoid the hurt
Over under cavelike shelter home
Feeling safe I’m captured when it pours
——-
Winter coming I’m not running on
Be kind to my one and only love
Over under cavelike shelter home
Feeling safe I’m captured when it pours
TÆR
TÆR, underneath the air calling me home from the edge
Will you ever let me in? For as long as them?
Come, go, longing to know,
feeling much older now
Holding on, falling till gone,
feeling much lighter now
I’ll be gone, I’ll be fine
knowing you
knowing you’re
TÆR
TÆR, within my head, want but cannot see
when your eyes fall into mine, how they fade away
Come now, out of my dream
hair like a charcoal stone
Ribbons will fall, cover them all
so we can build our home
But I’ll be gone, I’ll be fine
knowing you
knowing you’re
TÆR
Amber Eyes
Once the honey sun kissed your amber eyes
And the heat from your hand melted mine
Asleep on the beach reading the waves
And within one glance away you faded
Lying next to my clothes I play your guitar
Warming your bed wondering where you are
Wait for the end of the lavender lie
There you will find those Amber Eyes
I want to feel it all again,
The force of the waves, heat of the sun
I want to see amber eyes again
The way your mouth curls when you smiling
You gave me your book and you gave a goodbye
It’s all I have left from Amber eyes
A thousand words in a glance you gave
My shapeless voice away it faded
The feeling your eyes gave to mine
I keepIn between the words I write
Sometimes found way down below
Dark and deep a tangle of shadows
I want to feel it all again,
The force of the waves, heat of the sun
I want to see amber eyes again
The way your mouth curls when you smiling
