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

Save Yourself
02:42

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

Only for Today

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

Black and Blue

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

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

Witness

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
