I Can Speak Here

I can only think of two places where the flowers grow
I can feel the water, calm, and I say “maybe this is you.”
Speaking to me in my dreams
Or maybe smiling in all the things I see
How could I even turn the other cheek
when you’re, you’re calling me?
A couple years off really does something tiring
And it still pulls me, when things get lonely
“Maybe this is you.”
Screaming and pounding behind the sheet of glass
How long’s it been since I turned round and came back?
No wonder all those tries never made much sense
and you, you were crying for me.
Dug down, just wanted to see it
told you to wait right here.
It’s just a passive way of love cause
There’s no healing without some tears
Tears
I can only think of two places where the flowers grow
Never been about my wants, my thoughts or where I should go
It’s where you, where you, where you are calling me.

Why am I like this?
If anybody knew me it would be so dangerous
A place for people in Hell like you
Why would I choose to love with a heart that’s so confused?
Will I be a stranger to you, if I were to tell the truth?
Will I burn in the flames?
No more tears they won’t save me
(I didn’t want this, I didn’t ask for it)
Please
Is there something wrong with me, am I another mistake?
He made me perfectly but I’m running out of faith
Was born a monster didn’t realize, didn’t understand
And is temptation still a crime if I resist my hand?
Hand?
Will I be a stranger to you, will your eyes divert too?
Will I burn in the flames?
No more tears they won’t save me
(I didn’t want this, I didn’t ask for it)
Please

Cross I Must Bear
05:15

Out of my window is there love beyond?
For me to cherish and care? Is that what I want?
My intentions drive me crazy
Figuring it all out is not easy
Won’t you stop falling in love with the ones that you can’t have?
Please just stop falling in love with the ones that you can’t have
Oh and if I had it my way, it’d be different I wouldn’t stay by myself
Does the window hide away my pain, cause I don’t trust anyone but myself myself
Out of my window is there one for me?
Is my heart meant to be shared? Or kept secretly?
This internal pressure’s killing me
Why does happiness need somebody?
Won’t you stop falling in love with the ones that you can’t have?
Please just stop falling in love with the ones that you can’t have
Oh and if I had it my way, it’d be different I wouldn’t stay by myself
Does the window hide away my pain, cause I don’t trust anyone but myself myself
I can’t look back to what’s inside
When nothing’s here to distract what I hide
This curse, a pain no one understands
Well that’s okay, it’s the cross I must bear
Oh I give it all to you
Oh I give it all to you
Tell me what you want me to do
Oh I give it all to you
I give it all to you (repeat)

Lilac Sky
03:56

I’m really trying not to be so cheesy but you’re the poetic one, I’m not that deep
Words from your heart come so easily cause you’re not afraid to speak what you mean
Sometimes it’s like we’re falling apart
But you remain so close to my heart
Kept me warm in the cold winter time
You’re a fire, my hope and light
Scarlett red, icy blue
The colors of the sky they remind me of you
Burning fire, sharp as ice
A lilac sky in the warm summer time
They say that we’re the same but I think they’re wrong
Our gifts and gaps the differences make us who we are
But still I feel you know me better than myself
I’ve finally found someone who cracked into my hardened shell
Sometimes it’s like we’re falling apart
But you remain so close to my heart
Kept me warm in the cold winter time
You’re a fire, my hope and light
Scarlett red, icy blue
The colors of the sky they remind me of you
Burning fire, sharp as ice
A lilac sky in the warm summer time
You’ve seen me at my best and at my worst
I’d be a fool to let this, let this friendship burn
out
Sometimes it’s like we’re falling apart
But you remain so close to my heart
Kept me warm in the cold winter time
You’re a fire, my hope and light
Scarlett red, icy blue
The colors of the sky they remind me of you
Burning fire, sharp as ice
A lilac sky
Scarlett red, icy blue
The colors of the sky they remind me of you
Burning fire, sharp as ice
A lilac sky in the warm summer time

What lies behind us
Are the lies between us
We paved our past
with truths and untruths
But a future can’t be built
on promises of youth.
What lies within us
Can conquer sorrow
Over what happened yesterday
And what comes tomorrow.
Though fear of tears clouds our eyes,
And we are unsure of that which lies,
Before, behind -- a haunting specter;
What lies within is our director.
Direct us to integrity
On that we build our legacy
Authentic clarity comes
from lives well lived.
Let the voice of our sincerity
Direct us from within
Whatever challenge we may face
There are many ways to win.
Though fear of tears clouds our eyes,
And we are unsure of that which lies,
Before, behind -- a haunting specter;
What lies within is our director.
It’s what lies within us
That makes us whole
The spirit of effort
And the power of soul.
Though fear of tears clouds our eyes,
And we are unsure of that which lies,
Before, behind -- a haunting specter;
What lies within is our director.

Friends Like Enemies
04:28

Sitting in silence waiting for a call
No one to answer, is there anyone at all?
Somebody listen my screams sound like whispering
Maybe this just is a time for suffering
She doesn’t have much to say
She’s like this everyday
No! Get it out of my head sometimes my friends look like enemies, enemies
Where? Where does my mind go whenever my friends look like enemies?
Enemies
Enemies
Enemies
Enemies
Pray away the beast that keeps me up at night maybe this is a selfish thing to do
Think about myself for once it isn’t right, how could I cry when they are crying too?
This is what happens when you’re world surrounds material, and your god is the noise inside your head
3AM and the walls oh they start to tremble and the darkness it takes you in instead
No! Get it out of my head sometimes my friends look like enemies
Where? Where does my mind go whenever my friends look like enemies?
Oh I know God isn’t dead, but why can’t I feel a single thing?
Oh won’t you quiet and get out I know that this is just a conscious
Sitting in silence
Waiting for someone
Sitting in silence
Waiting for someone
Give it up, look around, don’t you see that there’s no one?
it’s yourself, you’re the one, causing all of these problems
Give it up, look around, don’t you see that there’s no one?
No one there, don’t you dare, cry to God to help you solve
Don’t help me I’m selfish
Is this my own problem?
Don’t help me I’m selfish
Is this my own problem?
She doesn’t have much to say
She’s like this everyday

This Love
03:18

Yesterday you flew out now you’re out of town, I thought this would be harder though
In the past used to think it’d be different now, yet we were never all that close
Gave it up when I found myself staring at my phone
“That’s enough,” he said these few months moved a little slow
But if I can’t see you maybe I’ll do something else
Even if you’ll never know it
Oh this love, this love, this love, is different
Oh this love, this love, this love, is different
Maybe somebody else will come catch your heart, and I’m really okay with that
Wasn’t meant to be us but I’m glad I started, even if it was our last
I just pray that you will get to where you need to be
Even if it doesn’t involve any part of me
I won’t push my wants or keep on overthinking
Sometimes we won’t always get all the answers
Oh this love, this love, this love, is different
Oh this love, this love, this love, is different
I had been searching for sometime wondering why our paths crossed
But even if it was just short-lived I wouldn’t say it was time lost
Time lost
Oh this love, this love, this love, is different
Oh this love, this love, this love, is different
Oh this love, this love, this love, is different
Oh this love, this love, this love, is different

Woman
04:16

What is this my heart is feeling, something I can’t define
All I know is that it’s aching, knowing you can’t be mine
I know it’s far fetched, to think like this
But something’s just got, just got to give in
Woman
What does it mean to be a woman?
A missing peace, something I never had
So comforting, not a force that drives me mad
Most days I can smile for the show but the summer is all suffering
Right now I just can’t see a white dress paired with a diamond ring
But maybe if it was you
Woman
What does it mean to be a woman?
Oh my desires, are eating me from inside
Too much a risk, to ask just for one time
I don’t know where to go from here
Is this my fate, or is it fear?
Fear that I’m not enough, fear I’m not enough of a woman
Fear that I’m giving up, fear that I’m missing out on someone new
Someone new
Woman
What does it mean to be a woman?
Woman
What does it mean to be a woman?
What is this thing that my heart is searching for?
Just a friend to lean on, or is it something more?
Where am I supposed to go? Walking long this winding road
Who was there to hold my hand? During changes into new lands?
Am I not who I’m supposed to be? Fitting into everything they told me
Untraditional, incompatible, reconcile the things that make me a whole
Woman
What makes me a woman
Woman
What makes me a woman

Message from Mary

She held out her hand, and asked me to come with her
She was clothed with the sun, the moon beneath her feet and twelve stars
She is the one that I needed when all I knew to do was hide
Come along and soon you will see that you already knew it inside
How to be a woman
How to be a woman
Yes I know that it gets lonely
To walk this path of humility
I faced it too, underneath his feet
Yet I knew that it had it be (repeat)
