Intro 01:07
"...and as the sky opened and turned into itself what was left was an unprecedented sight of growth, death and the invigorating scene of the great mother's children. The roots and sprouts of the saplings stretched their arms out to the yellow fire; glowing and shining down as the elders admired them from afar. But it wasn't enough for the little creek with the magnifying glass endlessly searching for the non-existent path that leads away from the estuary and white tears of winter. Now the only option left is to give in as he melts into the hydrogen and salt watching the vital concoction of his dreams and imagination slowly decay but not before the remnants of his entrails hydrate the young and old of the mother's home...and once again the forest breathes...eternally."

the flakes will fall softly and slowly down on rolling waves turning and churning the grey of winter beautiful and plentiful is a scene so clean in a summer daydream

Rainbird 04:47
the tears of clouds fell on the rainbird as he flew in an ocean of grey with H20 on the wings Fragile Pieces Shattered ragged and broken but saved by the warm glow of his horizon that's beyond the storm he's carried in her loving arms Fragile Pieces Shattered But They Are All Gathered

Sea 01:30
5.
we take steps to nowhere as the waves sing thier song The Minutes Become Hours upon long beach, she lies down beckoning me over to come closer The Minutes Become Hours With The Angel In The Sand
6.
the day is done for today and the night starts to cry his sad demeanour saturates the atmosphere the night is done for tonight the day is all alone and as she cries the grey starts to fly
7.
Four hundred beats a minute Sorrow swallows the film This the affliction And the infection

4:30 AM 02:06
She shows her soul To eleven million eyes While her pink shoes Carry her to cloud 9
9.
Cloud 9 02:07
She says three syllables And the eyes are glued to the act
10.
Looking for the X that marks the spot While footsteps walk to where they don't want to be Coals burning white in blue flames Cry and cry and cry and cry and cry and cry
11.
I wanted to call several times but than i went back to the bus stop against my will memories came a freezing chill an end to a game pink moon comfort me upon the stairs and as i climb aboard when the rain comes down Look Out The Window She's With Another heal from the fall as sour as a lime i wanted to call several times
12.
a vicious cycle we will now unravel a beating fist is broken again open and examine these ancient scars open and examine again. there are no stories to tell in regards to two as one but a history does exist of prolonged loneliness again there's been yearning and searching for her sweet voice this voice will make you melt making stomachs scared in her presence You've Been Chasing A Rainbow A Manic Pixie Dream Girl
13.
oh, little boy in a state of limerence salt water fell upon the wet grass Yea, Yea, Yea seven days with foreign band-aids celexa broke the hidden glass isn't it nice to now know? No, No, No
14.
Do you ever feel as if you are all alone? Doesn't it feel so real? and if you try to throw out carefully thought out words are they lost in the air? See her walking down a high horizon street Could she know your pain? The love of every dream girl in sight Won't be home alone, tonight.

Limerence 00:58

Wherever i go, there you are Wherever i went, there you are Wherever i went, there you are Wherever i am, there you are
17.
Someday, you will be found and he will be there for you there's no one he'd love more forgetting what was before Tell him your troubles Show him your shadows With no hesistation and his will be known
