School Of Seven Bells
Delorean
Apparat (always)
Jonsi

Turning from a past that
you can’t see
these hands of time
moving and shifting together
they lapse out of sequence

Reset a certain pace to move ahead
within these circles of fate
Obscured and shaded beyond recognition
they come back around

This ending starts over
we’re fast forward in reverse
Another place with faces
we don’t know
and never will

Set us back together as one

UNREAL HIGHS
laying in this recess of sound
where do we stand
for all we think we are?
second time around
we say, here it goes, yeah here it goes again
unreal feelings pass over me

We go between fiction and a dream
winds rush through
swept across this overpass
we can’t go home anymore
because it’s not there
We live for today
maybe we’ll be here tomorrow
unreal highs will give it away to me

Floating above these shadows
in the ground
Do we get down once we’re all up here?
Staying back to let them all go..ahead
Still these secrets
the world will never know

We’d go higher than the stars
to get where we are
How do we take this chance?
tomorrow might never be there

BLINDED
Spinning out of control
Alone in this madness
Reviving the signs
I always knew were there
I left this place
and didn’t come back
because I found where
I needed to be
you weren’t there to find me

Tell me now
If this is the way to be
I can’t deflect
What’s happening to me?
Pieces of my mind
splitting and breaking
all on the floor
And my eyes
are blinded by this faith

Moving through these tunnels of sights
What’s on the line?
These trails that I’m trying to follow
so sublime
Repeating this phrase again
I’ve got a ways to go
Where the final stop will be
Who will know?

Tell me now, tell me now
If this is the way
it should be

RELIVE AND FORGET
This is the life we tried to leave
Could we come back now?
And could you relive and forget
Because this is the last chance
There is nothing after this
And I won’t see or hear what it does
in the end

SEPARATE PLACES
Trying to find ourselves
in separate places
learning too fast
that we can’t
keep up with it all
where it does it go?
and where does it leave us
finding the moments
it doesn’t pretend to be anything
for all that it’s worth
we’ll have to stay
and get ourselves together

Our minds in hyperspeed now
hazy stacks of shimmering lights in the sky
the calm descends and buries itself
we’ll …we’ll find our way

We’re face to face
and second to none
getting to know ourselves better
Do we stand a chance
against these odds?
Twist them around
to our favor
Beat the laws
laid down by us
Taking a chance
that few people do
Give it to me
all that you have
so I can live..again

FALLS APART
Strangers that pass underneath the radar
Circling overhead
Never meeting eye to eye
Sonar beeps
searching for signals in the moonlight
This submarine captures and relays them
again

Going through this canal of memories
Selecting what we really want to feel again
Skimming the water searching for survivors
There was nothing to see because the only ones
were ourselves

We didn’t know where we’d end up today
Taken aback released from what we say
Silence dissolving in the voices from above
Be right with what’s happening
If we can’t find a way back

At least we trying to return to the now
Don’t worry, we’ll be there
when it all falls apart
Where could we go to
where we’ll find ourselves again?
In time, we’ll cross paths
That we’ll both lead

RISE TO THE SURFACE
Drowning efforts
knowing we gave it our all
floating beneath what we’re trying to say
Could it be we didn’t try to make this work?
Well I hope we did because I don’t know where to go from here

Take it from me
all I have to give to you
We can’t go any further or deeper
We have to rise to the surface again
And once we do, how do we get out of this?

We stood with hesitation
time was about to run out the door
Proving to us that glimmers of hope
might still be able to guide us
in our directions, together or not
swim with me
And let’s decide before we sink to the bottom
of this ocean.

FULL CIRCLE AGAIN
It’s slowly melting down
the way it came to be
The games that we played
are no longer in existence

Go ahead
make this final play
Don’t look back
it will all come together
together
Could you be yourself and never go away?

Did I wait far too long
for this feeling to wash all over me?
Full circle… it’s back again

Seems like this time
it’s all aligned
Whatever was said before
might fall into place

Staying on this road
so intertwined
These blinking neon lights
will pave this way

TO BREATHE
Could we bring ourselves
To breathe?
The air is clear now
We won’t let go

Would we falter
ever again?
the way home is near now
and we need to go

Is it safe to say
it won’t ever change
all of these promises
carved in stone

Come with me now
I need to feel
That this will be
Our final way
to go…..back

IN THE CLEAR
Look at the different ways
we’ve turned on ourselves
to think this was all
an illusion to start with
Realizing that what we had
to face was there
Knowing that now
we’re really and fully alive

We’re in the clear again
somethings that passes beneath
the glimpse of ourselves
tucked away

Standing up against the grain
doesn’t matter… if I never see the end
What will pass the time?

Taken out of context
how we really feel about this
Bring it back down to earth
these thoughts are so easily persuaded
On the right track
to get this all back together
New outlooks and old faces
co-existing again

I’ll be blogging on here more with music that I hear that inspires me, happenings in life, and just general silliness.
