Many in Few

when the world creeps about
while the sun stands aside i’ll wander for you (searching for you)
when a light is a tear
and the night’s an aurora i picture you in (all around you)
i know
you are
the one
are you sleeping tonight
are you dreaming of places that we visited (and words never said)
when the touch of your hand
was a sensation i cherished and lost myself in (bottle it and store it if you can)
i know
you are
the one
CHORUS
it’s a soft silhouette
it’s a feeling inside
it’s the world at your feet
it’s a halting goodbye
it’s a hard way to go
when you’re learning the beat
it’s a tough thing to crash
when you’re walking the street
you should know i have seen
crashing seas in your eyes
your mind is the ground
i’d defend 'til i die
in the night with my thoughts
i am summoning you
and i know that you know
we are many in few
is he with you tonight
is he an Adonis you think me unequal to (unequal to)
or when he’s away
do you channel your thoughts and call to me too? (meet me in the dreamtime if you do)
CHORUS x2

Selene
04:49
|
|||
should i take myself back
to the night we stood
in a crossroad under cypress trees
when you illumined me
in this we are ageless
in this we are deathless
if you’d ask i’d sleep eternally
to feel you lie beside me
every
evening
light wanes
my heartbeat speeds
when i watch you move, Selene (i know that you have found)
an electric, argent dream (my secret places)
and you are (and i’m)
waxing (waning)
shining (bleeding)
green eyes and raven-haired sheen
i need you so, Selene (i know your phases now)
for now and ever after
when you
say i have a presence
say you know of absence
when the stars all fade so
easily
and if i were a painter
could my brushes capture
your face in crimson
near totality
eclipsing other mysteries
if you
find me
on my knees howling
let me howl, Selene (just say you’ll have me now)
my spirit’s running loose (we’re both completed)
you set me (when we’re)
chanting (holding)
reeling (feeling)
don’t lay it off
when you yourself it seems (when daylight will allow)
suffer from the same madness
as me
and i’d reprise my role
once again become a worshipper
build up bonfires and sacrifice
i’d divine and i’d defer
evening
light wanes
my heartbeat speeds
when i watch you move, Selene (i’m your Endymion)
an electric, argent dream (i know you love me)
and you are (when you’re)
waxing
shining
green eyes and raven-haired sheen
i need you so, Selene (i know your phases now)
for now and ever after
need you
if you
find me
on my knees howling
let me howl, Selene (i’m your Endymion)
my spirit’s running loose (we’re both completed)
you set me (when we’re)
chanting
reeling
don’t lay it off
when you yourself it seems
suffer from the same madness
as me

begin with the fact you’re breathing
you breathe and believe that you exist
what locked you up is leaving (relax, secure, let go)
what locked you up diminishes
your inhibition vanishes
don’t bite your lip tonight
let your words unwind
when you feel the tourniquet twisting
a coiling squeeze behind your eyes
that’s the poison working on you
their words are doubts that calcify (don’t let them sow them)
let your fears etherealize (give no attention to them)
learn to dematerialize
don’t bite your lip tonight
let your words unwind
it’s an obstructing habit
it’s your destructive habit
there’s nothing altruistic in it
you’re allowing yourself to be compromised (you’re worth more than you know)
begin with the fact that you’re breathing
don’t let yourself believe their lies

Now That I
04:40
|

you never know when you’ll witness the Comet of the Century
now that i have, tell me if you’re a friend or enemy
the blossoms on cherry trees rustle; they fade into grey in the night
my politic melts in the heat of your trimmed-wick candlelight
(and i think you were right)
now that i’ve heard all the tones resonating here with you
how can i fear anything they could ever try to do
i’m made new
in midnight blue
a strand of porcelain dresses an indoor lemon tree
the tilt of your head as you listen to a phantom symphony
is this the crystalline knowledge to which you’ve heard referred
when they resurface Lexington Avenue i’ll try to find the words
(a boiling blacktop blur)
now that i’ve heard all the tones resonating here with you
how can i fear anything they could ever try to do
i’m made new
in April blue
our ingenue
she’s holding feverfew

Fly
06:15
|
|||
home is life on the run
you’d settle down if you could sound it out
but home
not what it was
and any notion you had in the clouds is
gone, you’re under the knife and it keeps you up all night
tell me if i’m wrong, i know i’m not ‘cause i feel it all the time
cold and hiding away, they spark the truth to keep me so confused
the old won’t let me stay and all the kids are calling it too soon, let's
go, but i won’t be afraid when i say what i need to say, it’s just the way i
know, there’s no need to explain why you’re jumping off the train
you’ll fly, you’ll fly
you’ll fly, you’ll fly
won’t find the way through
the clouds without the one thing you always seem to lose
the sight of mind, the life in you
but the cause is something new
don’t hang up the phone
don’t go, we’ll make it alright if we wait out the storm tonight, then we take it
slow to keep me in line, we all forget sometimes, it’s just the way that i
know, but you won’t be afraid when you say what you need to say, there’s no need to
explain, we’re all jumping the train, it’s everyone at the same time
of all the things that we’ve done wrong
with our feet on the ground too long
you won’t hear anything outside
so far beyond the battle cry
you’ll fly, you’ll fly
you’ll fly, you’ll fly
you’ll fly, you’ll fly
you’ll fly, you’ll fly
