Art of the Night

She told a story with her eyes
And she danced without any music
She could garner a surprise
With her every movement
And as she turned the lights faded
The candles burned as we waited
We entered foreign dreams
A crowd gathered in the streets
(Chorus)
But time would not wait
No words were exchanged
And the spirits were captured
But never taken back...
With the art of the night
He told a story from his mind
By mixing images with music
In just a minutes time
He offered a solution
And as he turned the lights faded
The film projected on the wall
We watched the vision he created
As the bombs began to fall
(Chorus)
And as the moments passed the night began to sing
The air was filled with smoke and poetry
Around every corner there were possibilities
All for the sake of art and creativity
He told a story with his voice
About a night he’d always remember
He told a story with his voice
About a night he’d always remember
(Chorus)

Snowglobe

Dreaming in black and white
Open up your weary eyes
The temperature is rising
There’s hope on the horizon
Living for a brighter day
The good times are here to stay
It’s a clash of the titans
It’s too late to fight it
(Pre-Chorus)
Love has become a misconception
A sleight of hand, a misdirection
You’re waiting on a missed connection
All alone with no direction
Take your fears and your aggression
All your tears and your confessions
Let it go for just a second
And live your life without abandon
(Chorus)
You’re living in a snow globe
It’s hard to let go
Everyone’s looking in
To the world you’re living in
You’re easily shaken
When life starts changing
You lost your sanity
In world without gravity
It’s hard to let go
It's so hard, it's so hard to let go
It was a late night suicide
They tossed you by the wayside
You were chained to the ratings
Till you spent all your savings
You were always down at half-time
Now it’s too late to change your mind
You were calm and complacent
Till they found your replacement
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Workin' at the cinema
You would never give it up
The queen of indie
The talk of the city
Your home is on the highway
You sold it all just to get paid
They made you in the factory
a bittersweet tragedy
Sleeping at the bus stop
Underneath the hard top
Headed for Chicago
Leaving on the down low
Roaming across the country
You never looked so lovely
Heading for the west coast
You disappeared just like a ghost
It's so hard, it's so hard to let go
Chorus

Dominoes (Acoustic)

Here you come again a little lighter on your feet
Here you come again a little softer than before
Here you come again knockin' on my door
oh, with a world full of love
a heart of innocence and all the joy of laughter
and the high of love at first sight
the high of love at first sight
It's true I may be wrong, it doesn't always fall
like dominoes, dominoes
It's true sometimes, you know it's true sometimes
I get ahead of myself
Never pegged you for a cynic
Never pegged you for a non-believer
We were meeting new people and making new friends
Soon a match strikes, there’s a spark and then a fire
Then I look up at the sky, I drift into the night
And get high when you're by my side
I look up at the sky, I drift into the night and get high
I felt so fine with your cheek against mine
Half asleep on the beach lyin' under the stars
Watching the waves break until daybreak
We were singin' along to our favorite songs
Save Tonight, Wonderwall and Chasing Cars
With the full moon shining on us
And no limitations to where we wanna go
We learned the subtleties of connection
And opened ourselves up to optimism
Oh now here you come again
A little lighter on your feet
Here you come again, here you come again
Here you come again, here you come again
You're knocking on my door
Knocking on my door

Silent Compliment
03:27
|
|
||
You sang to me in a tone
Similar to how the wind sings to the shore
Not angry… not wistful… a little bit sentimental
There was more meaning in your eyes…
In the way you looked at me…
More thoughtfulness than anything I’d ever felt
Your touch...it was brilliant
(Chorus)
And all I ever wanted
And All I ever needed
And All I ever wished for
Was in your eyes
In only a matter of seconds, I
Fell in love with your smile
Began floating down the river of my mind
At my own discretion
I continued without a map
Without direction…just a feeling
Overwhelmed and surrounded… but safe
Chorus
And you, you sang to me in a tone
It clicked, I finally got it,
So subtle, so honest
Your silent compliment; unlocked
meant more... than anything I’d ever felt
You took me somewhere new
Somewhere strange but beautiful
I can feel your heart beating with mine
Chorus x2

Lantern (Acoustic)

Some things are beautiful
Some things take time
Some things are golden
Some words aren’t meant to rhyme
I’d like to bow to your god
I’d like to pray to your grace
I’d like to pretend I could fly
...But I’m past that phase
Some things are better in night vision
Some things are better in the dark
Some things are invisible
We’re just waiting for them to start
I’d like to tell you I’m sorry
I’d like to write you a song
I’d like to buy you a present
...But I’ve done nothing wrong
Sometimes it’s hard to understand life
Right now is one of those times
Sometimes we’re closer than we think
All we gotta do is try
I’d like to take you for a night
Or two or three
I’d like to do to your soul
What your grace has done for me
I’d like to just fly
One calm afternoon
I'd like to take your warmth and just be soothed
I would turn the wind to be with you
I would turn the wind to be with you
Yeah I would turn the wind to be with you
...Some things are beautiful

Hope

Inside of us is something
I never knew existed
Somewhere along the way
I must have missed it
This display of despair
Is just a figment from your mind
All those things you couldn’t stand to bear
Are the things you wouldn’t dare to find
(Chorus)
Do what you were meant to do
Don’t be afraid to make your dreams come true
There’s still hope
There’s always hope
Raindrops and snowflakes fall
Bad days and tough breaks all
Make you want
to throw in the towel
But then you’ll see,
Everything this life has in store
Just when you’ve fallen flat on your back
You’ll see there’s so much more
(Chorus)
You’ve always had it
Even if you never knew
You will find
that deep inside of you
You’ve got the strength to pull through
(Chorus)
