Summertime Morning light to come Something more than I can take I know that you're awake Summertime When I don't believe that what I see Could be a possibility Standing right in front of me But the fire in my heart is burning bright What I'm seeking isn't out of sight Out of mind And the fire in the coals are burning low We just need to give it strength to grow Give it time Constellations captivating Contemplating your expectations of me In your face I see a maze Try to solve and face this reality But the light within your eyes are calling me Like a beacon of prosperity I desire As your hand begins to brush the back of mine We just gave ourselves a little time By the fire The open sky Belongs to no one But these two free souls Feel like they belong And the leaves that fall Don't make a sound Aren't as silent as the both of us now Stoking the fire, burning the coals Stoking the fire, burning the coals Stoking the fire, burning the coals Stoking the fire, burning the coals Stoking the fire, burning the coals Stoking the fire, burning the coals Stoking the fire, burning the coals Stoking the fi-i-ire, the co-o-oals The fire, burning the coals, Stoking the fire, burning the coals Stoking the fire, burning the coals Stoking the fire, fire Fire baby

Silence under the sea The only place, that I am free Silence under the sea The only place, that I find peace Above me, the cool sea breeze Broken shells lie underneath Under the surface My heart finds its purpose Anew The whitewash it clears And above me appears The sapphire blue The sapphire blue Blue The sapphire blue, blue, blue, blue I know it to be true I know it to be true Solace in silence Away from the sirens Of society Away from the failures Away from the triumphs Of my memory Radiant rays of light Protect me from the darkness Heavenly gold and white Spill through the surface Salt stings my eyes But I know that it’s worth it Such a small price to pay To finally by submerged in The sapphire blue The sapphire blue

Oh though I walk through the shadow of the morning light I still feel the dark Following me and so silently It tries to tear me apart So I let go of my inhibitions Start to seize the day All worries and wonts from previous ghosts Won't get in my way But these Demons, demons Keep following me For reasons, reasons I may never see These demons, oh demons Keep following me Tracing my mind, I try to define My identity But I want to be Free of the judgement Free of the lies Free of the moment the tempest arrives Free of my sins Holding me down Wake me up now, don’t leave me to drown But the storm Travels through my consciousness And I wonder Will the thunder Ever cease to exist At what point does a zephyr transform into a tempest And how fast And if the calm after the storm will proceed How long will it last Or will it just fade Away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Blowin' away Away

Jacarandas shake their leaves Purple glides on an autumn breeze Never felt so much at ease With life lost Birds fly south far from their homes Winter sets on weary bones The wind it howls and the hills they moan And time stops I suppose There’s no need to find reason In the changing of the season Just take it all for what it is And breathe Jacarandas start to bloom Spring found its way home so soon Revealed like the waxing moon Are petals purple-blue Life and light go hand in hand Summer shines on fertile land Footprints left in silky sand Will fade And so it goes There’s no need to find reason In the changing of the season Just take it all for what it is And breathe
