The Family Tree

The family was born to me
But I'm feeling foreign in it's leaves
Won't the branches stretch into the sky?
And let my pain run into the sea
The family tree grew from the rain
But everywhere I look, I see change
I only want to be set free
But blood runs thick, and fills the drain
The door is always here
When you want to disappear
Ill leave a key for you,
I'll leave a key here
I was dealt a wicked hand
Still I try to understand why fall comes
Quietly
We can turn these leaves
The family tree has fallen bare
Chaos is something inherited
Would you put aside your pride for me?
When circumstances aren't fair
Now the family has grown anew
Time has left me with a different view
How beautiful this life can be
I really hope you see it, too.
The door is always here
When you want to disappear
Ill leave a key for you,
I'll leave a key here
I was dealt a wicked hand
Still I try to understand why fall comes
Quietly
We can turn these leaves

Seasons

We've been through this a thousand times
But this is the last, I know
You've grown into my veins like vines
in my blood flow
We're losing our roots
Just tell me the truth, I'm begging you
I'm throwing the game, I'm playing to lose.
I'm begging you.
I couldn't change this if I tried
Baby, you leave me fighting the tide.
Seasons pass, I don't have time.
I'm at your mercy, now you've won
tell me what's left when the thrill is gone
Guess Ill see you at the finish line
Show me how fast you run.
And In the madness, I said it so,
that if you make me chase your love,
Ill let it go.
I've let it go.
I couldn't change this if I tried
Baby, you leave me fighting the tide.
Seasons pass, I don't have time.
And all this love has passed you by.

Pieces

Tell me, body of a whole,
what have you stole to be everlasting?
I'm forever young, but I'm forever stuck.
I don't think that I'm strong enough
to pick up the pieces from the mess that was made
Pick up the pieces and put them away
Cement my mind, I want to be blank
I want to slide forever this way.
This day I learned to walk among the shards of glass
each one reflecting the past
I saw my own eyes in the light looking back
Planetary retrograde
Pick up the pieces that the best of us made
The water is still when the moon shows it's face
I'm donning my heart, I want to be brave this time
I'm donning my heart, I want to be brave
I am made up of pieces
I am made up of pieces
I am made up of pieces

Burn, Burn

Lucid as the night,
Can you see it now?
In the absence of light,
allow my eyes to glow.
Wishing that I was bright and beautiful,
I've been singing words of poetry
Does it sound like me?
Am I a fool for the chase?
It's been eating up the hours of the day
And if you let it be still, they say,
life is flowing like a river
Where does it go?
Burn, Burn
Brighter than before
When you're not inspired anymore
I'm sick and I'm tired
of playing the blues
Burn, burn brighter.
How long does this go on for?
When does the sun turn into all that you've longed for?
Fight until you come undone
I think I found my voice in this world
flowing like a river
So take it or leave it,
and say what you will
This isn't even for you.
Burn, Burn
Brighter than before
When you're not inspired anymore
I'm sick and I'm tired
of playing the blues
Burn, burn brighter.
