Esperar 02:51
Oh, aqua twilight Lost lover mine Under silver skies Look at those heavy clouds I’m waiting to shed their tears I’m waiting to shed mine I’m waiting for you Oh, emerald dew Lost lover mine Behind broken windows Look at that wind and wave Let loose with abandon I’m waiting to abandon myself I’m waiting for you Like when the sun shines on the street Like a mirage you beckon me And when I get close You disappear My dreams aren’t where you’re to be Calling you from the other side I’m waiting Oh, I’m hoping Blushing night sky Lost lover mine Be my velvet blanket I’m waiting to touch you I’m waiting to I’m waiting for you

Blood 04:51
I’m walking on this tightrope Sure don’t want to look down Sharks waiting in the water Cold fear drips like blood The wind won’t take no for n’answer Feel light as a feather I’m losing my mind but My mind’s already lost me Reach out stranger Take my tied hands Please give me asylum Breathing in silence We sleep as silent Voices try to pull me under Ravens peck at my tether You Fall only to rise they said, But I still wait to reach the end They said help is on the way But I wasn’t waiting anyway They said I will be okay (x3) Reach out lover You’re in safe hands I’ll lead you to temptation We’ll breathe in silence We’ll sleep in silence

Follow You 05:14
I was hidden in plain sight, When you put your eyes upon me Lost in my own mind, When you came and pulled me out I left my glass shoe, For you to discover me Mmm, when midnight falls Hope you come find me Time slows down I'm falling in Follow you to the dark, my love Meet me there Watch me fall apart Do you see me? Follow you to the dark I laid my heart out Will you keep it? When morning dawns Will you still be here? Like a beacon in this dark night You pull me out of my shell I'm reaching into your light I've shed my fears Time slows down I'm falling in Follow you to the dark, my love Meet me there Watch me fall apart Do you see me? Follow you to the dark

I try/ desperately/ to be with others/ to spend time/ to listen/ to watch/ and to talk with them./ But all that plays in my mind,/ like a broken record,/ is her face/ and her voice/ and her words/ and her eyes./ My memory seems to have grasped/ a single look upon her face,/ of surprise,/ and the eyes are like pools of green/ inviting me to jump into their depths/ and wade in them/ forevermore. There is no respite,/ and I spend half a mind doing the things I'm doing,/ saying the things I'm saying,/ and the other half drowning/ in the green-blue horizon. It feels natural/ to spend hours reflecting upon her,/ mind to body, body to mind,/ masticating over a thought expressed/ or a song shared/or an emotion that rose up into her face,/imprinted deeply upon me. She says "You're beautiful."/ That I'm beautiful (with emphasis)./ That I'm intelligent. /That I'm a poet./ That I deserve the world. I refuse to attach any physicality to it./ I refuse to allow myself to imagine it./ But as I go about my day,/ an image sneaks up on me.(deep breath)/Kissing her./Holding her./Watching her./ Touching her./ With love./ With respect./I relive the tight embrace/ where we breathed in so deep,/ and I feel awe that I touched her. But sometimes,/ when I leave this dream world/ and come to reality,/ I feel an ache settle in my belly./ As I showered today,/ I felt some despair./ Because I felt like if this doesn't work,/ I will never be capable of loving anyone/ ever again. I will remain always/ in this state of unrequitedness./ I will always care/ and cherish/ and hope/ and dream of her./ That I will be stuck, forever, at 23/ and in love- in love with Cheri(e).
