PATTERNS LYRICS
I. Vacant Spaces

Are all of our moments gone and wasted
It feels like it's the end
Speaking your name and wondering

Like watching your life on a screen
Observing your pain, can't change anything
All we can do is feel you

Staring into vacant spaces where you used to be
Speaking your name and remembering
You were running on emotional fumes
Cutting your ties, seeking your truth
May distance and time heal you

Your life struggles on
You're not really here but you're not really gone
Our lives struggle on
Should we wait or should we move on

You left us in limbo, like fodder for the fire
Calling out for answers, getting no reply
Through this change of scenery
Can we keep our dream alive

Your life struggles on
You're not really here but you're not really gone
Our lives struggle on
Should we wait or should we move on

 

II. Bravery

Rise before the dawn
Steel myself to move forward

Searching my surrounding, scanning everything in sight
Stepping deeper into the ground
Impending danger raining from the sky, all around

Never mind what might be
Concentrate on now, what's in front of me
Distractions everywhere
The truth that brought me here, guiding

Holding on, hoping for your return
All this time, waiting here without word
Can't let go, before I fall apart
Please return

Head into the storm
Uncertain, continuing on
Continuing on

Holding on
All this time
Can't let go
Please Return

 

III. We Are Lost, pt. 1

Along the path lost our way
Here we are gone astray

Turned the wrong direction
Need to mend this connection
to the outside world
Caught up in this archetypal
pattern of destruction
Losing hold
The shovel or the ladder
Digging deeper, what’s the matter
Truth unknown
Sequestered
in this prison of fear

Feel it all crashing down

Burdened by this memory
diminishing ability
to see the whole
Automatic self-corruption
governed by reflexive action
no control
Looking in the mirror
reflection unfamiliar
withdrawn and cold
Fractured in this moment
change or die

Crashing down under it all

We are lost

 

IV. New Ground (We Are Lost, pt. 6)

Here we stand, looking on to what’s ahead
Near and far

Changes, challenging our hearts
Empty spaces, from what we’ve lost

Came to lay new ground
But it somehow slipped away, so now
We’re preparing to set course
Moving forth

But where are we to go?
Will we fly or fall?
And how will we know
when we’ve arrived?

Changes, challenging our hearts
Empty spaces, from what we’ve lost

Here we stand, looking on to what’s ahead
And beyond

Heal tonight
Heal tonight 

 

V. Pervasive Verge

Come
as close as you can 
with the notion 
to move across this pervasive verge 

of the space between the sounds
the pulse within the rift

Reaching out
Reaching in
Through the emptiness

 

VI. Tragedy of Love

He was her favorite medicine
kept like a whisper in a jar
She wore him like a blanket
in the cold and silent winter

Upon a perfect happenstance
they intricately danced their parts
Forever came and went
within the moments spent apart

He was no ordinary lover
She was an extraordinary queen
They built their temporary kingdom
Haunted by the tragedy of love

They drank each other’s antidotes
not knowing what would come in turn
as they stood within the afterglow
amidst the castle ruins

Looks like a smoking cigarette
turning to ashes as it burns
or how an addict’s fix asphyxiates
the point of no return

He was no ordinary lover
She was an extraordinary queen
They built their temporary kingdom
Haunted by the tragedy of love

 

VII. Taken by the Wolf

Dive in
to the center
Answer the call

Taken by the Wolf
Swallowed by the sky

Unaware
the final moment
swept along
Can’t escape
the surface tension
the Last Goodbye

Taken by the Wolf
Swallowed by the sky
Shot into the sun
to live eternal life

Is it choice?
Is it chance?
Is it destiny?
It doesn’t matter anyway
Time is through with me
Standing at the water’s edge
Feel the flow
wash away my troubles
and everything I know

In the air
a sweet siren’s song
calls to me
I follow
and float away

Taken by the Wolf
Swallowed by the sky
Shot into the sun
to live eternal life

Tragic mystery
Mystery, asking why
Sudden feeling
Overwhelming hollow

Your star will still rise
Your star will still shine

 

VIII. Tapestry

Stepping back
I look and see
the fabric of my life
trailing threads
crisscrossing over
the patterns left behind

Facing change
retracing footprints
knowing what’s in store
Confronted by
the tangled absolutes
I’ve seen before

Carry me, carry me forward 
Carry me, carry me home

Holding strands together
cutting through the knots and frays
Cleaning up the loose ends
need to keep it safe always

Acknowledging my origins
freedom is bestowed
Woven into tapestry
in time to let it go

Carry me, carry me forward
Carry me, carry me home
