Hesitate
He takes a sharp breath, taking one step back
He acts the part for a little bit of cash
Wants to make his mark, he know’s where the bar’s at
Learning how to skip stones, starting with a wrist snap
All the things he knows, and everything he had
He threw it on the table, and gambled on a knapsack
Wishing he could go back, but loves to hear the crowd clap
Every now and then, his brain will start to backtrack
Wish it didn’t pass him ‘fore his eyes when the lights flashed
Striking up a match, and starting conversations
Playing with the best, knowing they’re the ones he’s facing
Never time to rest, but remembers to be patient
This is all the test, to see if it’ll break him
Following his gut into a dangerous situation
Telling him to leave behind the safety of the basement
Oh, hesitate
The bridges walked weren’t meant to burn
To leave a town made for watching birds
In time you’ll know, the voice whispered
The bridges walked weren’t meant to burn
She takes a sharp breath, taking one step back
Torn apart, hitching a ride on a horseback
Scraping the mud from her boots on the tracks
Wipes sand from her eyes, and thoughts of a burnt past
Feeling alone, but she is determined
Of finding a home, somewhere deep in this circus
Not ever really knowing if it was truly worth it
Riding along, an unwritten purpose
Many a fields, she passes on through
The length of the prairies came her only commute
And following fairies gave the way to her beaut
With hair tied tight, she looks on to the new
Treading for miles in only one pair of boots
She smiles and waves a goodbye to her roots
While inside she’s dying from cutting them loose
Oh, hesitate

Calcite (Cease Fire)

Caclite
In a simple, and a sweet, and a delicate regard
This tunnel vision, that you and I see, it sees so far
To reconcile this sensation, with a burning desire
To cease fire, to cease fire, to cease
Soothe, like your skin on a mountain top in a hot spring
And your veins, going numb to the feeling of being caught somber
And a burning in the sun, but the burning inside makes your blood soft
Calming your nerves, so forget to etch a muse from your thoughts into each drop
Ordovician limestone, or a crystal in your palm
So unpractised and unstable but it keeps the heart warm
Cloak, with a dagger and invisible to the mind's eye
But you trapped, a sense of reason, I guess you could say that
But this stone's not a garnish or an empty void of trying
To cease fire, cease fire, cease fire
Truth, maybe that is not what you really need to hear right now
Cuz your brain is, going numb, remembering all the things that we ran from
But it went wrong, turn the lights on, flipping through that photo album, calming your nerves, like a crutch on an endless downward stairway in the pitch black
Take me way back, to where all of this darkness started, at the top, in the hot springs, and cover behind all my dirt tracks, I'm not sad, I'm just numb, and sick of this feeling of trying
To cease fire, to cease fire, cease fire

Stuck In A Loop
I can't pay this interest percentage
I'm in debt from my education
I'm stuck in a loop
I can't stay in this broke condition
I'm in debt from my inhibitions
I'm stuck in a loop

Tide Eye
I can see the ocean in your eyes
Deep Inside a spiral of a tide
In a world where one can argue
How became the land and sea
A vessel so complex a view
I can’t say for certainty
In black and white I see myself
A shade of just the season’s mood
Arrays of hues enlighten you
Your iris to an orchid’s bloom
You be the canvas to my brush
And start off blank
Fill the space with echoes of
Crashing waves, passing waves
And with this tune I speak to you
I hope someday you’ll hear the truth
I will walk through dunes for you
In hopes to feel your flume, flow through
