1.
Blank 04:29
They say it's been 20 years Years I've lost I've been living my death For far too long And I'll forget this by tonight Day and night All the same blank No dreams No thoughts at all As my mind decays I fade away
2.
Floating 04:35
Good morning I hope you're awake Doctor says it's like you're floating In an endless dream Since the wreck I've written a few songs for you And you know them I can't wait to see the sun shine Upon your eyes again Maybe one day We can have a home near a lake Where we can both float while awake I know you can hear me Your face is so full of color But you're caught in that dream Let me pull you away And we'll grow old Sing songs everyday Around the garden Where your tulips and our hearts bloom Three weeks floating I won't let you sink Come back to our dream And float with me
3.
Swept Away 04:17
Alone I awoke from a dream Without you You were swept away While I cried out your name Will you wait for me? Wait for me Softly your voice kissed the silence In my mind Stargazing at midnight Your eyes glowed in the moonlight Then the wind carried you away Tearing all the flowers Except for one that blossomed Through us I am on my way Hopefully I'll be there Before this flower withers And the wind takes me forever
4.
Nothing 03:53
Breathing slowly I can't feel myself So tired Is it over yet? So far away from love So drained, so empty Fading eyes All is blurry So gone Separated from life Soon I'll leave As I came to be Nothing
5.
Blush 04:18
Blushed Painting me with the softest brush Blessed and caressed By your numinous touch But soon I'll dry And my vibrancy will die But you will still make me blush Even when I'm buried in the dust The time you smudged my left hand You were so upset But it's okay I'm yours this way Someday you will forget me With the other paintings But when you find me I'll always blush under the dust
6.
Quite a lovely day Your back against the tree Staring right through me I've been gone for years But you still come here As if you know I do too I call your name Nothing but wind breathes Upon your sweet face You said I am in a better place But you knew Nowhere is better than together My hand runs across your cheek Feeling nothing You wish I was there What hurts the most is your wish came true I call your name Nothing but wind breathes Upon your sweet face You said I am in a better place But you knew Nowhere is better than together
7.
Wither 03:49
You're beautifully dressed in black Shy, haunting with wistful eyes Your voice keeps the flowers alive Such love blooms through you Behind your eyes lies hope Quiet and fading from life Giving to the flowers drains you And for love, I wither too
8.
Light 05:19
There's a light somewhere I've never seen Someday I'm hoping It'll be, just simply Be with me It'll always burn Through the winds And the rain will never drown it But I've said this too many times I'm tired of cleaning all the embers From the dead flames I have to remember It's only that my own flame shines That keeps me burning for your light Why do I think there's a flame that won't die? It's like I know but I cannot let love go With those who leave me too I don't mind burning alone I've gotten used to it But I know my flame may die Before I do How could I give so much just for ashes? I will find your flame one day And we'll shine God, I hope I'm right
9.
Faded 04:24
Frozen in time Keeping the past alive This was the best moment of my life I can hardly see your face I've lost your voice, your laugh As my memory ages This photograph loses color Soon I'll lose you for good I don't care if a photo is worth a thousand words If you can't speak those words to me As I grow old It seems like it was all just a dream And I'm pretending that love once found me
10.
Mute 04:40
Did you ever wonder why they stopped bullying you? Or how you found twenty dollars after you were mugged? You were so pure Searching for the song In everyone's heart Until one day your song was taken Left silent upon cold concrete I should've told you All the times I was there To ensure you that you will always be okay But now I'm at your grave You were my song But now you are gone My heart is mute And you never even knew I loved you so much
