Echoes 02:48
an unknown place feels familiar one small divergence led you far away an old friend’s smile the smell of home echoes of a memory nostalgia for a lost time a distant sense felt so vividly echoes of a memory

people come and go disambiguation through the haze illuminated disambiguation do you recognize? who were you? who was I? where did your eyes find mine? the bloom of dusk the bite of spring miles away in another life who are you? who am I? now that your eyes found mine? the bloom of dawn the bite of fall right here right now in another life who were you? who was I? where did your eyes find mine? the bloom of dusk the bite of spring miles away in another life who are you? who am I? now that your eyes found mine disambiguation through the haze illuminated disambiguation do you recognize? who were you? who was I? where did your eyes find mine? the bloom of dusk the bite of fall miles away in another life who are you? who am I? now that your eyes found mine? the bloom of dawn the bite of spring right here right now in another life

he watches me in my sleep he visits me in my dreams he sees everything he is with me he is with me I can’t think about anything else I can’t think about anything else what does any of it have to do with me? stuck on the outside looking in I can’t think about anything else I can’t think about anything else when the feeling comes and takes a hold of me stuck on the outside looking in he speaks to me in my voice he walks in my shadow he sees everything he sees everything he won’t tell me his name he won’t show me his face he sees everything he sees everything I can’t think about anything else I can’t think about anything else what does any of it have to do with me? stuck on the outside looking in I can’t think about anything else I can’t think about anything else when the feeling comes and takes a hold of me stuck on the outside looking in I can’t think about anything else I can’t think about anything else what does any of it have to do with me? stuck on the outside looking in I can’t think about anything else I can’t think about anything else when the feeling comes and takes a hold of me stuck on the outside looking in I can’t think about anything else I can’t think about anything else what does any of it have to do with me? stuck on the outside looking in I can’t think about anything else I can’t think about anything else when the feeling comes and takes a hold of me stuck on the outside looking in

Hesitation 04:10
without any hesitation the horizon whispers in my ear sirens call from the bellow’s toll moments unknown hair standing on end on end on end

Misha 03:04
What are you so worried about? What do you see? Little black cat those big black eyes open so wide What are you so worried about? What are we so worried about? What do you see?

you’ll never know the truth heavens behind your eyes the dreams behind blue skies dying to tell you why you’ll never know the truth you never knew didn’t ever think i’d see this place as a ghost town a husk of itself as a pile of rubble in the distance down the road past the place we used to know where did all the time go?
7.
Oh how the Jacques Cartier bridge Looked so bright below the sky my knees felt flat and weak beneath the weight of his cold eyes and the railings grasped like arms holding me down to the earth when the Saint Laurent swept your sister away you swam for all your worth and a whole lifetime passed don’t let her go think of everything she’ll never know
8.
you’re right to think again even when its right in front of you oh how much I needed you then I need you now, now that you’ve gone how could I bring myself to forget? to forget it all in a moment when you’re still here still somewhere, somewhere out there I picked up the phone to dial your number just a disconnected tone just a disconnected tone you’re right to think again even when its right in front of you oh how much I needed you then I need you now, now that you’re gone Somewhere close but so far away You’re still somewhere, somewhere out there In a moment when you’re still here you’re still somewhere, somewhere in here I picked up the phone to dial your number just a disconnected tone just a disconnected tone

Black Cloud 02:39
black cloud overhead i can’t relate a connection between what this is or that the smell of death lingers in the air I’m out of breath I’m somewhere else I want to believe in something new or something old believe in anything since I lost you I can’t relate the connection between what this is or that when the sun goes down where does it go away? its still there but its not the same love turns into pain dust on the shelf, tears in the rain black cloud overhead i can’t relate a connection between what this is or that the smell of death lingers in the air I’m out of breath I’m somewhere else I wish I believed in something new or something old tell me anything since I lost you I can’t relate the connection between what this is or that I’m so damn scared you said you weren’t still got your hand wrapped up in mine to keep living on is to have lost I’m out of breath I just fucking miss you
10.
Trapped 04:03
down to the bone skin and sinew sewn I’m not alone Blood drawn along Brim and carry on Am I alone? just one of many of the stars above I’m not alone just one of many of the stars above am i alone? they think about it everyday they think about it everyday they’re trapped trapped in their head
11.
Pandora 03:31
open up the lock, throw away the key oh my pandora, how the time does fly and when the sun comes up when it crosses the sky when it crawls into the ground I can’t help but think of all the things they said and all the things they did all the things I couldn’t help it was that time of year the higher order that needed something to prove picking things up just to put them down grown smaller than the space between the bars and when I hit the pavement when he pulled that knife when you told me that you wanted to die it was the taste of blood it was the loss of faith it was the emptiness its everything its everything its everything its everything and nothing at all

Old Friend 02:05
When the sun smiles it blinds Ill be seeing you On the other side That you’re welcome to The worlds so wide what can ya do you could run and hide what good would that do Oh my old friend Wanna play kick the can? Find the marbles in the sand Oh my old friend Wanna play kick the can? Find the marbles in the sand When the wind whistles it sighs Ill be seeing you On the other side that you’re welcome to When worlds collide what ya gonna do? you could run and hide what good would that do Oh my old friend Wanna play kick the can? Find the marbles in the sand Oh my old friend Wanna play kick the can? Find the marbles in the sand When candle light flickers it flies I’ll be seeing you on the other side of what you’re welcome to The worlds so wide what can ya do you could run and hide what good would that do

you looked away out the hospital window and asked her what she’ll do when you’re gone she told you she didn’t know, but she could guess she’d cry, walk the dog, life would go on the days turned to weeks turned to months while the clouds wept, and the wind sighed just as before some things change and some things stay the same, but I can’t cry, no I can’t cry anymore you would have told her not to cry anymore you would have told me not to cry anymore
