I write quickly
And speak softly
Follow rocks and trees
Without ever bending
I put up signs
To cover up holes
Made by singing songs
With words I'll never know
I am a racehorse
On my last lap
Don't think I'll ever
Think of coming back
I know with deliberation
And I think with flying hands
Hear distant drumming
From not so distant lands
Blanket me in silence
Pierce me with sound
I lay undecided
From the freedom I have found
I am a racehorse
And you are a blade
Someday I'll look back
And see the light we made

Here I am again getting lost in your eyes
There's a word for you but it escapes my mind
Standing so still under night sky
Wishing all of this would follow me into another life
Round and Round again
Sunrise again
Falling hard again
Yes, I'm falling for you
Hopelessness is a habit that I can't let go
Grey skies, cold wind, and falling snow
But you are the sun in a bright window
When long nights and frost are all that I have ever known
Round and Round again
Sunrise again
Falling hard again
Yes, I'm falling for you

I wake up slowly and fall on this broken mound
Bells upon the church they ring into a beautiful sound
Winter comes slowly and around us the air closes in
I've loved my life but I don't think I'd do it again
Pictures of people that I don't know on my wall
Do they still love me or am I the reason they fall
This beautiful echo of silence it comes from the cave
All of my life crashing down as a beautiful wave
Cacophony of silence that I've never heard
Blood through my veins and the life that runs through my nerves
Pictures of people that I don't know on my wall
Do they still love me or am I the reason they fall
Voices reach out and they tell me of a brighter day
I know that they're lying but I hold on to what they might say
The light of the sun and the skin of my arm seem to meet
As the dirt of the Earth seems to comfort my aching feet
Pictures of people that I don't know on my wall
Do they still love me or am I the reason they fall

I tried so hard to let you go
But I’d rather run from falling snow
Catch my breath just to let it go
But I’d rather tell you all I know
Oh please don’t go and disappear
I couldn’t bare to not have you near
Oh please don’t let your love appear
Right when I want to get the hell out of here
I tried so hard to let you go
But I’d rather run from the things I show

My eyes they turn back to a thousand years
Mortal instincts and immortal fears
Feel your skin against, your skin against the sun
My brain wants to move but my legs will never run
Through death we take and through this life we give
But after all this time I've learned that to die means to have lived
Oh, the trees they are born, they are born with no sound
And in their death they are gifted a beautiful crown
The walls of this garden are slowly closing in
It's so funny how the start looks so much like the end
I am so tired my light is growing dark
How much more can I take before my brain betrays my heart

Are you still dreaming of Rhode Island?
Do you think that I could fly in?
I sat in the park with my eyes closed,
Because I didn't want to see you go.
I wish that I could write a song,
But my hand is broken and these words are too long.
The things to say they are falling from my mouth,
But I am choking and no sound is coming out.
You are so far,
And you haven't moved at all
The clouds above and the grass below,
Can't think of nothing than goodbye and hello.
Long dark nights with nothing for me to do,
Parking lot prayers I wish to say to you
I saw the stars brighter than I've ever seen,
You've been on my mind like a perpetual.
Sneaking up and catching me by surprise,
It's been so long since I've forgotten your eyes.
You are so far,
And you haven't moved at all

Silently waiting for snow to stop falling down
This room is too big for the both of us now
Silently tonguing the words that I wish you'd've said
Worrying how I am living until I am dead
Tension is building and pressure rises slow
You'd say that you love me but nothing inside of it shows
Running in circles and circles and circles again
Destined for something but I'm not quite sure where/why/what/when it is
Thoughts they build up and history tends to repeat
Repeated ideas and changing the people I meet
Old blood and old friends and older reasons to live
There's wolves in the garden they tell me it's all that I give
