Vertigo 04:09
Lost in a bad one And I'm down on my knees The wind is winning Alarm rings in my ears God bless these walls For holding me tight Hold on tight Gravity you devil Who do you think you are? Running sideways The floor can fly Strange girl in the mirror Her eyes question mine Give me a sign Spinning in light, in might In the darkness Spinning in maybe for days Quiet since he left here And unraveled our threads I think I hear him ringing But it's only in my head God bless that bird For singing outside Give it some time Spinning in light, in might In the darkness Spinning in maybe for days Spinning in light, dark of night Fight or flight

Full ashtray, empty chair The dim blue light flickers on and on Anthony Hopkins slits the silence “Save yourself”, he says “Save yourself”, I say We are all cut at the core Same movie, different day The dim blue light flickers on and on The clock’s rigid hands Tick away, take away “Save yourself”, he says We are all cut at the core

Who are you talking to? Stand up slowly Holding on to sand Flowing through my hand It's always silent When you're shaking off a dream Day in and day out Words drown in my mouth Melting Monday Sinking in a bath Only hear my voice under water I want to float away Only for today Blindfold my eyes Tie my wings behind Tell me where to sign Who were you talking to? No one's here now Hooked on falling up Storm in a cup Wide awake now Twelve steps to walk away Only for today Blindfold my eyes Tie my wings behind Tell me where to sign

A night at the camping site Husbands and wives Warming up friendships by an open fire Children running with swordsticks in their tiny fists Black and blue Mothers feed with their left, get high with their right I sit on my hands and watch them in the light Time draws lines under our eyes Glad I came, glad I can get away One by one we go, as the fire dies down The evening’s chatter now late night lullabies Tents light up like grounded fireflies Black and blue Time draws lines under our eyes Glad I came, glad I can get away

תשעים שנים לחיות כמעט באמצע הרבה שיחות קטנות איך לא רואים עלייך איך לא רואים עליי פרינס באוזניות עוצמת עיניים תופים באוויר עם הידיים יד נוגעת בכתף מחזירה אותי תשעים שנים לחיות איך לא רואים עלייך איך לא רואים עליי תשעים שניים לחיות כמעט באמצע הרבה שיחות קטנות

Portugal 02:34
הלילה הזה, עד הבוקר מיטה שכורה מול חלון רוח אטלנטית, שפות זרות ממציאה לפרצופים שמות מפה ביד, נעליים פתוחות עננים שרים לי סאודאד באוזניות סמטאות של ליסבון על הבוקר דגים טריים, יין זול אבן כחולה למזכרת אולי פעם יהיה אחרת הגוף זוכר, בלילה יותר איך הוא אמר לי כמה את יפה פורטוגל

Swan Song 03:28
If I could go back and change anything, I'd keep it all Drunken nights, dancing in the living room I’d keep it all Riding iron horses till sobering dawns I'd run in those shoes with torn heels Just to catch your warm hand and hold it in mine My doctor Jekyll and mister high and bye Exhaling wine and gin adventures A thousand "no's" drowned in one faint "maybe" As the swan sings her song Of twelve years gone by I'm watching your back now Pale light under the door My touch Careful not to wake you Wishing it would Wishing you would Stay
8.
Witness 03:15
Where is my witness Where is mine Not walking down that road Not wearing last year’s boots Not sleeping on that couch Not calling out his name Isn’t it time to save your life And when the sun hits my eyes I blink a bit Where is my witness Where is mine Isn’t it time to save your life And when the sun hits my eyes I blink a bit In the dark I blink a bit I shrink a bit I drink a bit I think a bit In the dark
