Summer's Gone

If I just knew I'd take a little bit of time
Spin my head, bleeding red in the middle of the night
And now I'm awake making the maze come to life
Oh, if they were here we'd still be coloring our sight
If I just knew I'd take a little bit of time
Now it's gone, summer's gone, with the better sounds of night
And I can't seem to drift away
the weeds have taken hold
the space turned gray
If I could I would float away
I wanna feel it too
but my mind can't stay
And I can't seem to drift away
the weeds have taken hold
the space turned gray
If I could I would float away
I wanna feel it too
but my mind can't stay

Take one step back
you have to leave to understand
Though you walk between the cracks
there's no such thing as luck you can plan
Turning back to a place I thought I knew
but it wasn't true outside of my mind
Left it up to a sign
I couldn't find until a goodbye
a goodbye...
Back then I was spinnin' around
Losing who I am just to figure it out
Follow in the palm of my hand
Take me to the place I can do it again
Lose all your sense in a wishing well
or under sand
Or throw it aside
let some breaklines take your time
Turning back to a place I thought I knew
but it wasn't true outside of my mind
Left it up to a sign
I couldn't find until a goodbye
Back then I was spinnin' around
Losing who I am just to figure it out
Follow in the palm of my hand
Take me to the place I can do it again

Silver Balloon

Split birch
let it breathe, now
feel it reach out
summon leaves so far from its limb
a giving hymn
it's sink or swim
It wouldn't be so hard to believe...
Takin' away the seeds of doubt
Cut up and call the broken mound
And if the sea catches more than sound
I can't help but be here without
A reason to reach into the sky
Cover my ears and close my eyes
A silver balloon tied to my mind, this time
She can see it's a sign
Past bloom
late but early
shades are swirling
twisting reds
so far from the rose
the depth below
it's not shallow
And it wouldn't be so hard to believe...
Takin' away the seeds of doubt
Cut up and call the broken mound
And if the sea catches more than sound
I can't help but be here without
A reason to reach into the sky
Cover my ears and close my eyes
A silver balloon tied to my mind, this time
She can see it's a sign

Fall in between
my wavering pillow
and a dream
Choose which to seek out and scour
play the game every hour
it seems
Flash both blue eyelids through shadows
faulty faces like fur faux
but it's not make believe
Oh when will these fake memories fall behind stained quartz
Something's gone horribly wrong winding down, abort
