"101010"
"101010"
Hold your breath and count to 28.
Change is slow but I feel it taking shape.
Folding over us like waves
On origami ocean tides, we sway
Like blueprints constantly being rearranged.
Over microscopes we plan and strain.
The finest print in the whitest ink,
Before it dries, there's no time to think.
It feels like everything we've known is sink or swim
But grey is not a compromise -
It is the bridge between two sides.
I would even argue that it is the color
That most represents God's eyes.
Hold your breath and count to 29.
Connect the dots and cherish every line.
Paper cuts and trails aside,
Make a wish and hold it tight,
This time, we'll try our very hardest not to try.
'cause grey is not a compromise -
It is the bridge between two sides.
The shores on which our stubborn land
And restless seas collide.
Grey is not just middle ground,
It is a truce that waits to be signed.
I would even argue that, from where we stand,
It most represents the color of God's eyes.
So, let's fold our atlas into paper planes.
Change is slow, but I feel it taking shape.

"99 Red Balloons"
(originally by Nena)
"99 Red Balloons"
(originally by Nena)
You and I in a little toy shop
buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by.
99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine, it springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
As 99 red balloons go by.
99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call out the troops now in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.
99 red balloons go by
As 99 red balloons go by.
99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find one souvenir
Just to prove the world was here...
Here it is, a red balloon
And I think of you and let it go.

"A Million Charming Words"
"A Million Charming Words"
I wish that I held your words more dearly
Like they were the last words
That I would ever hear.
I wish to be
Lost in your arms.
I'm wishing I could be forever in your arms
Forever and a day
I'm wishing I could be lost in your arms...
Always.
These are the memories that will not escape me.
Oh, and your smile is worth a million charming words.
I wish to be
Lost in your arms.
I'm wishing I could be forever in your arms
Forever and a day

Always.
These are the memories that will not escape me.
Oh, and your smile is worth a million charming words.
The pictures I never took
Of the happiest times of my life
Are just worn-out thoughts in time.
Time will not escape us now.

"A Skeleton Of Something More"
"A Skeleton Of Something More"
In the darkest of nights,
The city of lights
Will pour unto us.
Creeping inside
Through our sleepy eyes,
Contagiously bright
Like sunlight and rain
Flooding through the veins
Of wilted vines.
But love travels like a rumor here,
Losing form with every ear,
A skeleton of something more.
But waking seems an awful dream.
We'll be waiting for the night,
Waiting for the night
To come and rescue us,
Feet off the ground.
Beaides, we're living in this house of cards
That pulls and pushes with the air.
Fearing a feather to the earth
Could destroy it and us,
Inside unaware!
All we want is something more
To dream about and to adore.
All we need is a little place
To close our eyes, to end this chase.
The living are moving,
Gracefully
And painfully rushing ahead,
While unraveling the most essential thread
Of the fabric that covers us.
We'll be waiting for the night,
Waiting for the night
To always come and rescue us,
Feet off the ground,
Our hearts become magnetized.
The warmth of the sun
Is melting the snowflakes
Before they hit the ground

"Accidental Light"
"Accidental Light"
On your mark, get set...
A million miles past the finish line
My heels lift
At this imaginary starting line.
The trigger slips;
My heart was racing well before it's time.
Time's running out, it's always running out on me,
As the road up ahead disappears.
Though it's all been said,
And this empty dictionary is all that's left,
I'll try to change the world in a single word.
My hands are shaking, ready or not.
Invisible ink well it's all I've got.
So I'll concentrate and pick from these barren trees.
Time's running out, it's always running out on me,
And every road I discover disappears under my feet -
Some call it reckless, some call it breathing.
Have i said too much or not enough?
Is it overkill or is it giving up,
To measure out the distance of an echo's reach?
If it's all broken mirrors and a chance roll of the dice,
Then I'll risk everything for a glimpse of accidental light.
Time's running out, it's always running out on me,
And every road I've discovered disappears under my feet -

"All That Is Beautiful"
"All That Is Beautiful"
All that is beautiful
will not be beautiful to me
unless its perfect
ourside of these walls is an awful place
as far as I can tell
we are not the enemy we are not the enemy inside
we were victims of a constant loss
we were not the enemy
I am afraid
that opinions are contagious
I am afraid
that my plans will lose their place
we are not the enemy
we could hold our breath forever
or maybe for a while
the best will surely come
until then you'll feel nothing
until then well feel nothing at all
all that is beautiful
will not be beautiful to me
unless its perfect
all that is beautiful
will not be beautiful to me
in all harmony in all of our disord
can we really know all tha is pure
we are not the enemy we are not the enemy
we were not the enemy

"All This To Say"
"All This To Say"
All this to say,
our future is a blank page
that we chose to pour ourselves into
when God pressed play.
and we'll drag our pens
into these parallel lines
to record and to articulate
everything we find.
as decades unlace,
we'll pause and carefully trace;
our shadows are puddles of ink
that our memory saves.
layer by layer, the framework was formed
on an epic of paper:
we breathe to explore.
fast-forward motion
will gracefully show
the flickering story
that all of our sketches unfold.
before we were born
God gently told us the truth,
but understanding is something that stops
as our bodies bruise.
so we'll concentrate,
constantly rewinding tapes.
was the ghost just a glare on the lens
that our minds create?
our minds create...
when God pressed play.

"All Through The Night"
(originally by Cyndi Lauper)
"All Through The Night"
(originally by Cyndi Lauper)
All through the night, I'll be awake and I'll be with you.
All through the night, this precious time, when time is new.
All, all through the night today, knowing that we feel
the same, without saying, the same without saying
We have no past we won't reach back,
Keep with me forward all through the night
and once we start a meter clicks,
and it goes running all through the night.
Until it ends, there is no end.
All through the night a stray cat is crying, stray cat sings back.
All through the night, they have forgotten what by they do lack.
Under those white street lamps, there is a little chance they may see you, a chance they may see you.
We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night,
And once we start, the meter clicks,
it goes running all through the night.
Until it ends there is no end, keep with me forward all through the night and once we start,
the meter clicks, and goes running all through the night.
Until it ends, there is no end, keep with me forward all through the night.
Keep with me all through the night.

"Already Gone"
"Already Gone"
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all the memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our face held high
It never would have worked out right
We were never meant for do or die
I didn't want us to burn out, I
I didn't come here to hurt you, now I can't stop
I want you to know
It doesn't matter
Where we take this road
But someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
Doesn't always make you want to cry
It started with the perfect kiss then
We could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
Know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go
I want you to know
It doesn't matter
Where we take this road
But someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
