Growing Pains

Took awhile to feel alive, under the the arch
In your voice you were calling for something
Took awhile to make it out but you were running
On the cement when I fell low
Walking new lives that I don't know
I knew that I was gone
I found my heart, I found it in your riddle
I searched my scars I watch them fade a little, break
Every time I try to walk again
I try to live again
I know there's no coincidence
This path I walk, was woven in my memory
Growing pains upon my limbs
I revolve, around walls I'm fading in
If every pore that's on my skin
Could just reform, and I could take in your remedy
I feel like drowning every inch
In your dye
Took me higher when you had me running
On the wire and I'm only trust in
Finite as the clouds are rushing
Everywhere you are breathing, and moving, dissolving, destroying, and molding
I take time to drink the source, I know how the page is coarse
This sink that is always full
Life's blink is fragile, we're laughing, we're trying, arriving we're dying
Took awhile to see me fall, took you awhile to see it all,
Took you awhile to see me fall, took awhile to see it and breathe it,
Perceive it, unweave it, and feed it
Are you lost in what could've been, and prophecies, is honesty a novelty?
My dear inside the fear, love will break even every stone
I know there's no coincidence
This path I walk, was woven in my memory
Growing pains upon my limbs
I revolve, around walls I'm fading in
If every pore that's on my skin
Could just reform, and I could take in your remedy
I feel like drowning every inch
In your dye
This fall, this high
We live we die
Take it for these signs
What are we inside?
These dreams,
These schemes
Your love, your lie
What is human kind?
What is soul, what is mind?

Official Lyrics:
Perhaps I'm a reflection
That's looking through a silver door
But the furniture's been broken
And the pain is cracking from the floor
An angel found me in your arms
Caressed me as a mother would
Like water through prison bars
On freedoms soil there I stood
In the mirror that is still
In the glass that I fill
There's a blood painted rose
In the wound that aches for more
Through the comfort and the pain
There's a heart that overflows
At times I've become hypnotized
Took me overboard
Open my mind see what's inside
Take it overboard
While everything around me grow
I've stumbled to see where I'm from
The knocking of my shadows
The promise of a beating drum
Perhaps I'm a reflection
That's looking through a silver door
And sees the scrapes on my knees
And I wonders what it all is for
In the mirror that is still
I look for water to fill
Found a goddess in the snow
In the wound that aches for more
Through the comfort and the pain
There's a blossom made of stone

Hotel

Blueberry fields
How would that feel
I'm having a try
I'll try till I die
Travelling on this path
Losing when I hold on
Cut away my own wrongs
You can change your mind now if you really
Wanna take this time now if its what you feel
What is really real?
What's behind our shoulder?
It's time I think about forever
It's time I think about your treasure
I've been wondering how we turn so fast into heavy stones and broken bones
I've been wondering how to measure
If time keeps passing by so clever
I've been wondering why this hotel room tries to keep its hold, the shadows know
You had a flashlight
We walked all night
Into a life for me to find
Well you know why we are here
This time is bleeding through
Omens keep on knocking at my heels
I'm finding myself again
I'm trying to listen
Well it's really just a road to the soul
And the end is certain
It's time I think about forever
It's time I think about your treasure
I've been wondering how we turn so fast into heavy stones and broken bones
I've been wondering how to measure
If time keeps passing by so clever
I've been wondering why this hotel room tries to keep its hold, the shadows know
I tried to talk, but could not win myself to nothing
This place we're in, theses leaves of skin they turn to nothing

Said So
03:27
|

|
Water left stains on the road
Flooding as trains overflow
The harder the arrows are thrown
The stronger I hold to your coat
If I'm ever cut down the sea that I am bound to
If nothing is a treason,
If always there's a reason
For why we wear these skins of sorrow?
Decease my pride
I'll walk on your side
In my hand I hold your clothes
Oh I know you said so, you said so
New lines have run with the rise of the reef
We were lost in the lover of deceit
Only paying the cost from my head to my feet
To the end of this burning tree
Two steps to trust and I'm gone
Your eyes to bury my heart
Subdued my mind and my thoughts
You took away my demons
If there ever was a reason
For why we wear this skin we've borrowed
Decease my pride
I'll walk on your side
In my hand I hold your clothes
Oh I know you said so, you said so

Portrait
02:42
|

|
Oh I fell for it
Cold tiles on this floor
The porch light turns on
When you go away
Seems I'm always, arriving here again
Oh
The candles shadow was casting on the page again
But I didn't even notice it
Oh
Remember when we laid on the same silhouette
And slowly watched the planes
Oh
Days fall on dying leaves,
Reminds me where to run
What will
Shake these thieves
Seems this portrait is never really done
Oh
The candles shadow was casting on the page again
But I didn't even notice it
Oh
Remember when we laid on the same silhouette
And slowly watched the planes
