from the cradle to the grave always thinking of what could be called a good action inspired by love to be inspired by love and not worry so much about every action and where it comes from once you know what you've got you can never give up inspired by love in every action

set out for the sun, looking for loves sweet dawn hoping that blue star gets replaced by the gold one hoping that death star gets replaced by the life one and still it's the dark, couldn't get to you come find me love I really need you now I'm broken I, I have no one else around come find me love could really use your help seems the more I try to find ya the more I lose myself set out for the sun, in search of the dawn couldn't get to you come find me love I really need you now I'm broken I, I have no one else around come find me love could really use your help seems the more I try to find ya the more I lose myself

every body is let down by someone and when you're down you see no hope of getting up but you get used to it in practicing what I used to call loneliness, but now I thank god for it and what I used to call loneliness is just closer to god ain't it? every thing there is and where i come from is this close enough or not? though I'm losing you I'm not lost and I thought I'd be long gone no, it's just close enough and though I've lost you I've not lost and that's all

Daylight 02:26
daylight inside your eyes turn into moonlight before my eyes I can't look away from you no, it's night and day with you I see everything through you daylight turns into moonlight inside your eyes yeah, your eyes on fire I can't look away from you no, it's night and day with you I see everything through you sunrise turns into sunrise inside your eyes yeah, your eyes on fire I can't look away from you no, it's night and day with you I see everything through you

when I'm gone I wanna be there for you when I get home I wanna be the best thing for you though I'm a long way from you I'm thinking of you
7.
no more misery no more irony only honesty or quiet and once the rules were spoke the room fell silent and when the silence broke the words were few I am here, and you are to alone together, all of us and I can be with you in silence and the calm of the night, calm of the night I let my body do the talking, now it's singing and in the silence melody I am here, and you are to alone together, all of us we let our bodies do the talking, now they're singing and in the silence harmony no more misery no more irony only honesty or quiet and the calm of the night, calm of the night
8.
keeping our heads above water keeping ahold of each other whatever's next for us my sister my brother you are my blood you are my blood you are my blood you are my blood and I am sanguine buoyant blood red blood red I'm sanguine I'm buoyant blood red blood red I'm not terrified when I'm working hard for someone I love you are my blood and I am sanguine buoyant blood red blood red keeping our heads above water keeping ahold of each other whatever's next for us my sister my brother
9.
darling I don't know what I'm doing I ain't no romeo, that's for certain but I wanna do it, I wanna prove myself I wanna run for love and not from fear or doubt it's just something familiar a drop in the ocean or when rivers leave their mouth they lose their name as well it's hard to say it in a way you could believe when my thought fall prey to cliche, it's just better off saying nothing but the way I see it, the way things ought to be is our hearts steadfast devotion in the face of everything spiralling it's just something familiar a dream I remember and it feels like a lifetime ago but it was this one I was on fire, you led me to water and you said "there is the ocean, if we swim far enough"
