Missing

Fate, it makes it all so clear
It's strange, when did you disappear?
Nobody's missing when you're walking out the door
Nobody's missing, and I'm not keeping score
You've changed, but I can't tell you how
It's late, we'll leave it there for now
This is the last time I will be here
This is the last time I leave you here
It's strange, but I'm not pained
And it's strained, but it's not feigned
Nobody's missing
Nobody's missing
Nobody's missing
The weight that you're carrying
It's crazy to think you'll bury it
I never meant that I would take it all from you
I never meant it though I thought it to be true
I'm not afraid of a little pain
But it's insane to be blamed
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening while we're waiting for the cards to fall
Just wait while I explain -
I never wanted you to be the only thing I see
Maybe I still love you and I don't want to miss you
Maybe I forgive you for all the things you put me through
Maybe you're regretting of what you always wanted to be
Maybe you've abandoned it but you see it all in me
I can't embody all the dreams you set aside
But I can be the one to drag you out from behind
Maybe I still love you
I'll always love you

Fire from Gold
03:39

You stoop to the lowest rung
Haloed and hexed
You bleed but to breathe
In the roaring of jets
Coaxing plum-coloured nightmares
From limitless depths
You dance in their flames
Impervious to threat
No rush, coyote
No cares, coyote
Take the lead and set fire to gold
You flare in the glancing light
Prismed and caught
A moment distilled
To the pumping of heart
Flowing rose-petaled blood cells
Push out any thought
You'll wade in the warmth
You will make this your art
No rush, coyote
No rhyme, coyote
Take the lead and set fire to gold
And all this time
You thought the answer lay in wake
When all this time
The question was to blame
No rush, coyote
No fear, coyote
No anger, no regrets
No rush, coyote
Not here, coyote
We are only blessed
There's no devil in this hole
Take the lead and set fire from gold

Par Ici

Little did I know
Little did I see
What was waiting, waiting just beyond
These pillars cast from sleep
Like stories carved from time
The sight you only earn
You've nothing, you've nothing 'til the end
You're helpless 'til you learn
And the walls all came down on me
The walls all came down for me
The walls, they spit and they shout at me,
"What's the race, what's the game we play?"
Calling from the light
A voice said, "Meet me here with words,
And be ready, be ready for the trial,
Be ready to be heard"
And the walls all came down on me
The walls all came down for me
The walls, they spit and they shout at me,
"What's the race, what's the game we play?"
Cry for my blindness
I said I'd find a way to find a way
The walls all came down on me
The walls all came down for me
The walls, they spit and they shout at me,
"What's the race, oh won't you stay?"
What if I could defy blindness?
I said I'd find a way to find a way

Just when I think I'm in the clear
Your voice is here to set the spin
Just when I think I'm brave enough
You call my bluff and rein me in
Just when I think I'm safe again
My will bends to where you are
It is my fear there's no safe here
Just questions left by far
And oh, I seem to find I'm left behind
But oh, I think you've turned to look across the line
Just when I think I know the score
You offer more to let me in
I've been stranded, I've been weighted
While you lived, and you tried
Now I'm waiting for a single statement
While you hide
And oh, I seem to find I'm left behind
But oh, I think you've turned to look across the line
Just when I think
Just when I think
Just when I think
Oh, I seem to find I'm left behind
And oh, I think you've turned to look across the line
And oh, will you find me, have you found me?
'Cause I think you've turned to look across the line
