Coalescence lyrics

golden hour:

It’ll never be too far, it’ll never be too far

Opened eyes to see

You’re drawing up a dream

Your character moves me

Lives instilled from stage to screen

Lines to build a world serene

Your care ushers a new green

No matter where you are,

It’ll never be too far

To be here

A staircase to the stars

They’ll never be too far

Your climb endears

And I know, there’s a catalyst to every canvas

As you brush past better days and breaks of bliss

You persist

You show, pen to paper with your fingers fighting

Left with your other hand for writing,

You are opening eyes, you are hope in disguise

I know, there’s a catalyst to every capture

Lost in film you focus and you face your fractures

(You’re a) golden crafter

In the midst of matters moving mountains

Your future overflows the fountains

You are opening eyes, you are hope in disguise

No matter where you are,

It’ll never be too far

To be here

A staircase to the stars

They’ll never be too far

Your climb endears

And I know, there’s a catalyst to every capture

Lost in film you focus and you face your fractures

(You’re a) golden crafter

In the midst of matters moving mountains

Your future overflows the fountains

You are opening eyes, you are hope in disguise

let’s go home:

I don’t like myself lately

I’ve been floating above you as you are firmly standing

Arms reach out, but with mild eyes

I wish we could comprehend what it is that’s really happening

Another day, another swing

Sitting rationalizing

This highlight reel is really just romanticizing

Let’s go home

Let’s go home

Let’s go home

Let’s go home

This room doesn’t feel the same anymore

Don’t want to wake facing away anymore

Though you know I’ll always turn back to you

And wonder what a little more time could prove

I just can’t keep being like this

Running away with your hand on my wrist

Returning but with a smile to fade

As I look back to earlier days

Sitting silent as I’d wait and feel small

But fighting for it in spite of it all

Disagreements that were never healed

But resolved with a held out hand in a kneel

Apologizing when I knew it was right

Putting love above any of it in spite

Of the fact that we were being unfair

Sympathy we lacked but we were self aware

Humbleness resided but it wouldn’t prevail

Two years lopsided with a flick of the tale
I wish you the best and I am sorry to say

We both know things are better off this way

To some degree I believe in fate

You’ll find someone to appreciate

All those little things that I will always hold on to

haven:

In the sky again on a Wednesday 

“Busy life,” as my friends say 

But what are friends, anyway? 

Killing time with useless passions 

Filling lines with weakened words

But what could I ever say? 

Wasting hours in greener pastures

Counting flowers on distant shores 

But what are dreams, anyway? 

Painting smiles for foreign stages 

Counting miles and moments lost

Does it all fade away? 

Reading books and painting pictures

Finding meaning in the dust 

What is meaning, anyway? 

At the ledge again in the summer 

After all my choices made

But what are plans, anyway? 

Pushing off from all I wanted

Trying to find the man I’ll make 

But who am I, anyway? 

Am I brave with bold ambition, 

Or am I terrified of love? 

What is life, anyway? 

Am I drowned or am I sinking?

Am I too far to get up? 

I don’t know, anyway 

I’m so scared of new beginnings 

Yes I’m terrified of change 

But I change, anyway  

Like a river that lost the sea

I will carry you with me

woburn:

I can’t go one day without thinking about you 

Time never heals what the past has set in stone

We can move on, but we can never know

MOVEMENT:

You never have the future

You never have the past

You never walked through the door

Your moments never last 

You never hold the future

The past has slipped your grasp

A bold mind leaves an old shore

Your movement’s here at last

Fearful of a thought, so bury it underground

The treasure that you’ve sought, will soon be found

Fearful of a thought, and tightly though you’re wound

The treasure that you’ve wrought

Will soon surround you

And with every step you’ll find

A new energy around you

For this is now your time

So take this day, for you to say you’re on your way, you’re everything that you need

Once binded by another sigh, another call of retreat

So take this day, you’re on your way,
your movements lead

Fearful of a thought, so bury it underground

The treasure that you’ve sought, will soon be found

Fearful of a thought, and tightly though you’re wound

Your treasure will soon surround

Fearful of a thought, and drowning in the sound

You can be free, you can be

Fearful of a thought, and drowning in the sound

You can be free, may your movement never cease

Fearful of a thought, and drowning in the sound

You can be free, you can be

Fearful of a thought, may your movement never cease

So take this, take this day, you know your way

So come what, come what may, you’ll never stray

So take this, take this day, you know your way

So come what, come what may

token:

Drunk on wine again

I hide behind a mind filled with fluoxetine and manic optimism

And love

I don’t understand it

All these times I’ve ranted

Seemingly outspoken

Just to keep your token, love

I can feel again I know it is too late

To rush to the scene to fend off those who complicate

Or is it just in my mind

I’d ask myself all of the time

But it’s not and the day is dead, resort to a powdered night sky instead

But you still haunt me

I don’t understand it

All these times I’ve ranted

Seemingly outspoken

Just to keep your token, love

I don’t understand it

All these times I’ve ranted

Seemingly outspoken

Just to keep your token, love

I don’t understand it

All these times I’ve ranted

Seemingly outspoken

Just to keep your token, love

coalescence:

Roots to the whole, dreams to the soul

In a realm of risks unseen

Seeking to grow, building to know

Forming bonds with all between

Sharing what is gleaned

To feed a frightening need

Goal set aglow, forming a flow

Through the fields and foreign reeds

Adventure unfolds as a story is told

First the wondering, then the deed

Writing what we’ve weaved

To follow where it leads

Folding letters, testing weather

Plotting prints on the pavement 

Onward we go, focused to show 

In Acadian autumn breeze

Breakdowns abound as the bus wheels go round 

But the fellows face the seas

Sing to spite the squeeze

In time, all fears are eased

Pushing further, fevered fervor

Fueled by faith in formation

Volume growing, seeding, sowing 

Fueled by faith in the garden

Volume growing, seeding, sowing

Labored love for the 

Garden in the snow, 

Labored love for the

Calling of the crow 

Labored love for the 

Sounds we’ve yet to know 

Labored love for the

Places yet to go

Labored love will grow

tessellation:

Dreams of summer dawns

Never stay too long

So now I am waking

To the beam of light

That’s never shone quite right

Aglow now, the day is breaking

Into bits of glass

Mosaics of the past

Now I wade into a spring tide in motion

Hope is an ocean

And right here, I’m floating

Vessels on their own

Weighed down with stones

Darkened skies, hovering as two eyes

Wrestle with the loss

Of what they came across

Hold what flies, a lover in the sunrise

Mirrored bits of glass,

Ports to places vast

Now I drift over a spring tide in motion

Hope is an ocean

And right here, I’m floating

Another wave to catch to save from fading

Another wave to catch, you’re safe from fading from view

Memory grave: 

In my head, in my mind

There’s a performance always live

My body sits in row twenty-seven

Close enough to see, but far enough away to know

While these actors they may change

Their roles and show they tend to stay the same

Shifting slightly as I back away

I control the theatre lights, I can flick them when I please

When do I please, I do not know

Here always dreaming of the previous row

Further fictionalizing the already fiction

Wishing future’s vacancy was for the past sometimes

But I’m an actor too

In many a head’s venue

Once one held by you

You can love your love away

Or haunt a memory back to its grave

Let it lie behind your bloodshot eyes

Shake the stage, let crumbling beams

Showcase sky-reflected dreams

Take a seat or fly away

And I can see right through

Anyone who’s pretending too

We all come and go

But that’s not to say

There aren’t many who stay and make

Waking, waiting, working always worth it

You can love your love away

Or haunt a memory back to its grave

Let it lie behind your bloodshot eyes

Shake the stage, let crumbling beams

Showcase sky-reflected dreams

Take a seat or fly away

awakening:

Don’t forget who you are

Just another chip off a star 

So far from perfect

So far from flawed

I know you’re worth it 

No matter the cost

Facing the frost

Fighting a loneliness at heart

Face in the dark

Finding a home without a spark 

It’s a call from the depths of the open 

Louder than I’ve heard it before 

It’s a voice on endless tongues waiting to find 

What we rise for in the morning 

And what makes us fall

Facing it all 

Fighting a life in endless halls 

Facing a squall

Finding we’re whole behind our walls

Stumble and crawl

Choosing to grow when we feel small

Saunter and stall

Learning to heal as we evolve 

Open to your life

Look within to see without 

Don’t forget who you are

Just a tiny piece of it all 

So far from perfect
