somewhere new

—LYRICS—

Horizon Fire 

City blues and forest greens/

Fearless nights along the stream with you

Horizon fire, lay with me

Will it stay, oh will it all be true?

Western sky, illuminate

The graves of those who sealed their fate with love

Shallow valley, resonate

While sunlight slowly radiates above

To cast away, so far away from all we could become 

Provided I hold back my lies, I'll find you 

Oh, faded footsteps on the pavement

I saw you, I saw you (x4)

I don't know myself now

I don't know myself  (x4)

Oh, faded footsteps on the pavement 

I saw you, I saw you 

Fellow in the North

I was away when you came to me that day

On the first of the final month 

Left in my place was the memory of my face

From a time far more innocent and young

Ten years ago, when I made the woods my home

I was sick of the life I'd led

I'm here on my own, though I never feel alone

In the silence, all is said

Far from the shame of the sedentary game,

I began to find truth in my task

I'll never blame, for I'll never be the same

In the wild, all lessons last

Deep in the trees, where the beggar finds his peace

In the arms of a knotted elm, 

I could reclaim what I knew of my old name

And return to the head of the helm 

I was humbled by the stars, 

You were hollow from the start

I left with nothing

Life for the bluffing

Fled to the forest

Northward bound

I was humbled by the stars, 

You were hollow from the start (x2,750)

Here in the cold, I will live the life I chose

As the Fellow in the North

Steer

Over and over, you left my side, nowhere to hide, you’ve gone away

Imagine, just imagine, the life we led the tears we shed, so come and stay

But, you know I, you know I, you know I, you know I can steer

Down these roads, down these roads, down these roads of fear

For you

Exposure, exposure, into my mind, into my mind, lost in time

Are you sure, are you sure, what happened here will never be again?

The bright lights, the brights, they left your face, they made you so cold

The red kite, the red kite, you flew as a child into sky of gold

But, you know I, you know I, you know I, can steer

Down these roads, down these roads, down these roads of fear

You know I, you know I, you know I, you know I can steer

Down these roads, down these roads, down these roads of fear

For you

Now and again with you,

You have to hold on, you have to hold on

You know I can steer

You know I, you know I, you know I can steer

Inside Your Eyes

"You took it all," 

Said the aspen to the fall 

"You cleared my limbs, 

In this cold, my faith wears thin"

The buzzards cry 

And they fall down from the sky

Preying on the lone

I pray my flesh sticks to my bone

I never asked for any harm

Never raised no stray alarm

I never swore I held your heart, but I wanted from the start

To play that precious part, the ember in the dark,

The love inside your eyes

A mess I made

With this gold I once was paid

Took me high to lead me low 

Into fog and the unknown

Now I'm howling at the moon

To scorn a love that ended too soon

I never swore I held your heart, but I wanted from the start 

To play that precious part, the ember in the dark

The love inside your eyes

Someone Else

I, I left you alone

No visions of home, I'm letting go

For I am meant to be on my own

Your decision has shown, I'm letting go

For I, I've lost to someone else

And I, I've lost to someone else

I, I tried so hard

I gave all I could, I let down my guard

You, you left me so scarred

I've got to go away now,

My fading star

For I, I've lost to someone else

And I, I've lost to someone else

Someone else

Hey Bodham Dae/What Do I Do

Hey bodham dae, bodham dae, love

Hey bodham dae, bodham go 

-- 

The inconsistency of a fickle soul

Blank and it feels so cold

I walk by you like you’re a stranger to me

My head in the sky and I fall to the ground with you at my feet

What do I do with her, what do I do with her heart?

What do I do with her, what do I do with her heart?

She is weightless in a breeze

I may be blinded but I’m free

I’m the lost, the found, the one who's always contemplating 

If I run away, return someday, will you still be there waiting?

Does the mountain know its peak?

In your shadow I grow weak

What do I do with her, what do I do with her heart?

What do I do with her, what do I do with her heart?

The warmth you give, I may never return (I'll just waste your time)

My kindling's soaked, I'll never burn (I may never dry)

Garden

Oh, I hold, your ghost, inside my arms 

And if this love could grow, I'd plant a garden

I'd move water, tell the sun

To keep the sky blue 

Oh, I watched you run

And I will cry for you 

And I will cry for you 

Unlocked

In the dark you speak to me,

Not sure if there’s a spark to see

You had everything that I could need

And I know that I’ve got to let you go

I think that it’s time for my cards to fold

Your apologies are getting old

Oh you know that we’re done

And I hope that you had your fun

In the dark you’ve set me free

No longer in this mystery

You locked the door but I found the key

And I know that I’ve got to let you go

I think it’s time now for all my cards to fold

How could you have ever been so cold?

Oh you know that we’re done

And I hope that you had your fun

Jasmine

Night was slowly falling when I thought I heard your voice

Left you in the city when I heard I had a choice 

I tried, I know I only lied

I was resigned to my life, babe

Here within the darkness, where my actions are my own

I can smell the jasmine, I can see our sacred home

I fear, I may have left what's dear,

But I'll be here for a while, babe

Oh, my stars are wandering 

So far from me, I'm blind, you see

Take one look and pass me by

As days go by, you'll heal--I'll die

I suppose my roots may grow without

Feet set in stone 

Bones free to roam from doubt 

All I'm owed is all I owe myself 

Rivers of peace

Canyons of grace and wealth 

Oh, my stars are wandering 

So far from me, I'm blind, you see

Take one look and pass me by 

As days go by, you'll heal--I'll die

Tumbling

He, bent-kneed, he pleas, "I've seen you in my dreams!"

She screams, as she sends him tumbling through the leaves

He lays awake in vain as the world around her 

Shakes away its pain brought on by the human race

He says, "Grant you one last chance, if you join me on the hill,

We'll dance until surrounding fire freeze us still"

"Oh, this world, you see's not meant for me 

Far across this land I've come for thee

Safely silent, I wish to not stay here

Come and join me, or continue to live in fear"

No one knows the man inside his head

Why don't you come and get to know him? 

You could run around the world instead, 

Or you could come and get to know him

And breathe

"The air you breathe is not the air I breathe,

For where I lie is in a place you cannot see"

A softer stone is thrown in one's beliefs 

A twisted minded shadow again remains unreached 

No one knows the man inside his head

Why don't you come and get to know him?

You could run around the world instead, 

Or you can come and get to know him

Recollection 

I recall the weather on our final night 

When the treetops brushed like feathers to the moon's delight 

When your hair was dressed with leaves and petals from the clover

And your body moved with transient composure

Winter seemed to ravage what the summer spared

Ice to barren branches and new smell to hair 

Oh, my lyrics fading from your bathroom mirror 

Our final moments always drawing nearer

Red horizon rising through your parted blinds

Fear was flowing swiftly through our parting minds

Thirteen hours longing on a northern train 

Seven years of longing, left in vain 

But we were only dreaming anyway

I can smell the candle burning on your desk

Next to shifting sheets and terror-ridden rest

Warm vanilla wax to coat our open wounds

Left to slowly wither where we bloomed

But we were only dreaming anyway

Fall Low

Feel low, something we know

To yourself regress and say that no one feels you

A walk so real to you

You sit in the sky and you’re wondering why you’re alone

You follow a path that was paved in a way to collapse if the weight of your wish is to stay

We’ll be falling, falling, falling

I will follow you once more

I will fall low too once more

I’ll run for a while, run ‘till I’m free

I will follow you once more

To put aside, what preoccupies your mind, night and day

Is to cut a hole inside the core of every word you say

From then on out, becomes a hazel-shaded, underbearing waste of breath

You lay in regret, until you slowly fall asleep

I will follow you once more

I will fall low too once more

I’ll run for a while, run ‘till I’m free

I will follow you once more

You follow a path that was paved in a way to collapse if the weight of your wish is to stay

We’ll be falling, falling, falling

I will follow you once more

I will fall low too once more

I’ll run for a while, run ‘till I’m free

I will follow you once more

Seafarer

Lost at sea, 

Spring is here, so it seems

But I can’t feel the warmth around me

The birds go by,

They know their way, so did I

And now I try to follow them as they fly

So lead me on to somewhere new,

Uncharted lands over ocean blue

Though I don’t want to forget you

To find my way, that’s all I can do

Floating along,

The waves crash so strong

But all I watch is the sun, sink beneath it all

The birds are gone,

Still I press on

At the mercy of the winds of this monsoon

So lead me on to somewhere new,

Uncharted lands over ocean blue

Though I don’t want to forget you

To find my way, that’s all I can do
