it's been a long time
since i held your hand
it's been a long time
since i've seen land
and i never kissed you
i missed your call
i never knew you
the way i wanted to
and i don't know what i want
more than your touch
i don't know what i want to do
with this heart ache
la la la la la la la
i want this to be true
la la la la la la la
i guess i'll pull through (again)
i feel i've known your face
from some other race
like we've done this before
at the exact same pace
i keep this ocean
surrounding everything
it keeps me from not drowning
i like it when i can't breath
i don't know what i want
more than your touch
i don't know
what to do
la la la la la la la
i want this to be true
la la la la la la la
i guess i'll pull through (again)

I'm not a plant
I'm nada
I'm not a fucking plant
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not a goddamn plant
I'm not a plant
Don't give a damn, Uncle Sam
Don't disenchant
Industry said to me
"You ain't gonna be anybody
but a sycophant"
I'm not a plant

In the land irregular
Stood a man who caused a stir
He could see in the darkness
And in turn a deep fissure
On the raised altars of torture
and sacrifice
All the rulers of the earth world
Looked down in horror
Ever-y single footstep
And every little movment
Mark the battle
No one could hear the galdur
That he sung into the night
Except his love across the world
Late at night a starry sky
Came alive and grew an eye
She looked down then at the earth
And released her beastly cry
And the people grew so tired
Of ordinance
So she got into her rhythm
And never lied
Then all of her obstructions
To the royal destruction
Came down upon his road
He could not just go find her
Under her sky she laid out
So his love made him glow
It’s a story locked in time
Of that nation built on crime
Only burning to destroy
Subsisting off debts denied
In his sword there burned a fire
A father earned
Centuries of just one battle
Recurring might
All there was to sustain him
A passion for someone else
Somewhere in the wind
In her eyes burned a higher
Understanding of the earth
And of everything
He caught up to all the earth
And became a god unlearned
There was nothing to guide him
But the stars the sky had turned
And he never knew his mother
Goddess of war!
Until he found her and saved
Her from their altar
There was nothing to stop his
Army of people he gathered
That were their slaves
There was a solar eclipse
That called into the abyss
And brought day to night
There they had the last
Battle of the past
Bringing true love to the
sky at night
And the lasting reign
Ended all the pain
And in time came the rain
They prepared for
And it washed the blood
Off their king

Battle Away (2012 Demo)

can you keep the battle away from me?
losing sleep to bad intentions received
i won't fight it i won't fight it i won't fight it just to spite it
despite the fact that i'm afraid i'll stay unlit
for the thrill i'll be the still windowsill
until i spill in through that hill air shrill
and this is true to the words i try to say
and this is where i see that i'm okay
and i'll call out to you in a heart beat
when i escape this intermittent heat
and all is of course my favourite shade
surely you know that's why i stayed
finding measure has never been slicker
i want to see all the shading flicker
taking part in the ever ebbing tide!
i'll cultivate this smile open wide!
