Tides 03:28
TIDES As the tide is rising I'm back on track I'm used to realizing that every absence is a lack I'm just a part of this wreckage, but I'm OK Choosing to absorb the damage, to give myself away And as the winds are blowing, as the winds are blowing I'm staring in the darkness just knowing just knowing just knowing you are there _______ As the storm is coming I breathe again All of us are castaways in the end But if you only let me touch your scars I'd love'em till you tell me I went too far But I have a feeling that tonight I'm gonna send some shivers down your spine _______ As the tide is lowering I watch the boats Longing for some warm embrace, little shaky dots On this god damn dirty canvas of my memory It's hard to love the ocean, but that's my way to be free And as the winds are slowing the shoreline's suffocating I'm waiting I'm waiting I'm waiting for the waters to come back

Borderlinks 04:05
To Bracha BORDERLINKS Where have you been all these years Mixing paint colors in your studio Writing your books Swimming against the flow Teach me your language, teach me how To squeeze the essence from out of focus These borderlinks, these scars are here to call us, oh ‘Cause I remember When I was a child I was so free, I couldn’t tell good from bad And in my temple I prayed for love to be too strong For me to bear it on my own And then I kissed the walls good night and went to bed _______ Where have I been all these years Coming up with dead rhymes Running to nowhere Shooting into the air Teach me your language, lead me astray I’m like that killer whale trapped in a bay But please, please lead me astray

Clean 04:02
CLEAN It's seeping through my shriveling skin I feel that I'm too clean to come to terms with myself I'm breaking like a branch under the wind's touch I know one day it's gonna be too much _______ I let it in under my surrendered skin It fills my lungs with warm vibrations to the brim All the doors are shut, I'm in a closed world I know one day it's gonna be over _______ I let it go as if nothing happened As everything around me is coming to an end Transparent as I am I'm taking off my peel This vessel without thoughts is everything that's real

UNCANNY It was snowy No silhouette in sight I knocked at your door and saw you God you were so beautiful that night We started talking To keep our bodies warm I wasn't in the mood so I told you Let's say that it's your turn To tell me something that is none of my concern _______ It was rainy No way to get away You knocked at his door and saw him God you were so innocent that day You loved each other On a dirty floor But suddenly you felt uncanny You grabbed your stuff and slammed the door You couldn't stay there anymore _______ You were eleven Your father wasn't rude He just wasn't in the mood so he told you Won't you make you daddy feel good He smelled familiar You knew you were doing right But you started avoiding mirrors And reading in dim light You were ok, you never cried, no _______ That was the last time I ever saw her face But every time I love you on the floor I feel uncanny As if my guts were out of place And when the mirrors Return their gaze to me I have a choking feeling in my throat I dim the lights and see Myself caught in a vicious circle of someone's fallacy

Weightless 05:32
​WEIGHTLESS You see the clouds dissolving Like an ice-cream ball in your arms, and your thoughts Are carried away, they are weightless What a wonderful relief You heard the rocky mountains whisper They said everything is worth trying as long as you believe it's so So would you wait for me tell me Would you wait for me When I'm away When I'm away When I'm away When I'm away _______ I love the way of thinking Of a road as a part of yourself, don't you see It echoes our heartbeat It blisters when we break You know the words don't ever reach me They just get lost under my feet So talk to me with gestures Let your body speak When I am near When I am near When I am near When I am near _______ Please stop praying for rain, for peace, for love 'Cause every cycle is closed in its time Just take all of these and make'em your own Make'em your own And as the winds are slowing The shoreline's suffocating You're waiting, you're waiting for the waters to come back
