Falling 03:45
I have emptied My Heart Of its contents Turned it upside down Searched every corner Subjected it to every test There is nothing left Within it To find Except you
2.
One two and three Will you come back to me two three and four Now everybody knows what I'm looking for This is how I count the time.
3.
Purgatorio 04:25
Do you still dream our dream Do you still Sing our songs. I still dream of you, beneath the tree, lying there, singing out to me When will I start to dream dream a new dream When will I start to sing for me

Aloud 03:48
You are the only one That still is in my heart You are the reason why It has come apart. Say it say it say it Don't say it Say it say it say it Aloud.

Keepsake 04:45

Halfway Home 02:42
9.
Why am I still in pieces, Why am I still afraid What will I find in darkness How long will I venture there. Can you name the missing pieces Do you know where they go Can you see into darkness, will you know, when you're home.
10.
Do you notice It's a long way down from here Did we have to take the wrong way round I fear Everybody seems to know What went wrong with us Everybody but me Everybody seems to know that the song is just a song I just couldn't see It's a long way down We took the wrong way round
11.
How We Love 03:40
Everybody plays for keeps Everybody This is how we live This how we love This is how we give in This is how we rise above But I won't give in without a fight
12.
Light 04:33
I did not ask the darkness to come But when it arrived it was complete And total All my senses were dumb And there were hard edges And damage that came from clumsiness For I had always prided myself In my vision And my ability to see the treetops On distant ridges On clear days But this was night time And tho I moaned And tho I called out In ineffable darkness No light arrived And the echoes of Other lost souls did not help So I trudged on Despite wounded knees And torn elbows I moved forward Trusting footsteps Whose groundings Were acts of faith And slowly I learned To walk And in time the light came Though I did not ask for it To come I knew inside I always wanted It’s clarity, it’s return But my dumb eyes Had become accustomed to darkness My heavy feet accustomed To plying on insensibly And so the brightness blinded me And so my footsteps failed to sound But I knew I had to continue on And learn to be again, In the light
13.
There is only one Movement that we can make As we spin round and round looking for each other There is only one Breath that I can take As I wait for you Breathing in There is only one thought that I can break endlessly thinking of you Round and Round and around and around and around and around we go
14.
Square One 03:46
I have returned to the starting place, the trailhead with only the unending blue at my side. My heart unfurls like a fist being loosened -this is not the place where I began last time. But it is always here for me this point always ready to take me on a journey no matter how I’ve changed no matter how time passes. I can always begin again. Square One.
15.
I am full of slow whispers Echoing against my skin And down my legs the murmur like a stream In my ears just behind my eyes They make them blurry and each time I turn my ears inward and strain to hear what they say but I only hear the sound beautiful indistinct full of joy I only hear the sound of your voice
16.
Reach Out 03:16
Lost now Found out Free now Unsound I only wanted to be with you I only wanted to be true If you want to try come with me take my hand and we can be so free now you just have to reach out

about

The Shattered Grey Los Angeles, California

On nights like these
I chew upon
The thread of life
Until it's almost gone
Sweetest Nectar
laced with pain
I stay until
it's almost drained
