After all, I can see through your heart
After all, I can see
After all, I can see through your heart
I can see through your heart
I can see through your heart
I can see through your heart
Forget about the words that we wrote
Forget about those words
And forget about the songs that we'd sing
All the songs that we'd sing
All the songs that we'd sing
All the songs that we'd sing

Quiet Inside
03:32

Am I not lost?
Impossibly
Impossibly profound
(Quiet inside, quiet in life)
Self deceived
Self bereaved
I had a dream
Was I in love?
(Silent and slow, silent in life)
I approach
I can hear the cave
The hole in the dark
The hole in the heart
(Is it a voice? Is it a sound?)
The basin cries
The water is cold
Dripping away
Dripping in fear
(Nothing to say, nothing to give)
Nothing to say
Surely nothing to give
Is this how the light leaves?

If I Will It
04:41

Time is wasted like a waterfall
Falling faster before me
And if it be like this, and you be you
Can't overtake, can't under-do
If I will it, is it love?
If I love you, can I leave it here?
If I will it, is it love?
Do you even really want me here?
If I will it, is it love?
If I want it to be true,
is it really even love
for you or me?

Low Red (Simple Man)

I'm a simple man
And you're a simple girl
And when the moon hangs low
I swear I can hear you moan
You've been bled, laid out
A tear clean through
And your soul strings bleed
A powdery red
I'm a simple man
And you're a simple girl
And when the moon hangs low
I swear I can hear you moan
Will you leave straight out?
Will you see it through?
With this cold steal heart
I'm as good as gone
And you're as good as dead

Vera, Vera

When I see you, what I see is truth
That you are like leaves, falling slow and new
If I hold on, hold on
Is it fair enough to dream of someplace far and blue?
If I had three ways to break it into truth
Would you fall like leaves, and say it's all for you?
I could love more, love more
Or will we leave our days in a Faustian game?
Now I don't know much, but what I know is true
That you are like leaves, falling slow and new
And if I've gone too far, stop it all right here
'Cause it's not too much to find it all in fear

Where are you now?
Can you hear my voice?
Are you still at the center,
spinning in place?
I've done everything you asked
I wrote a letter, I took a call
Now I find myself spinning
No meaning to it all
Though time may not follow here
and my eyelids may seem low
Up here there's a chill in the air
A sleeper sister that's slow
(Where are you now? Can you hear my voice?)
