Eyes Like The Autumn

You've got eyes like the autumn that can see right through me
I feel your presence in my soul
As the light that's your gaze permeates the dark empty in me
Leaving my cup half full
You have hands that are delicate with no blood on them
As pure as the fresh-fallen snow
How I long to hold onto those hands with a promise
That I'll never ever let go
Oh no, I'll never ever let go, oh no
You've got two separate peaces to you like a quickening pace in the river that leads to the fall
There I leap off the edge to pursue this new love like a blanket to cover my all
Though it's scary you swear that you'll always be there, like a sparrow you sing in my ear
"Lover, lose all your doubt for you've found all you need in me, and you have nothing to fear"
You've got everything going for you, but you picked me amongst all the suitors who wish for your hand
Though they are much more qualified, you reassure me that their advances you'll withstand
I was shaky at first 'til you opened your heart and confessed to me you were immersed
I was reading your diary, shocked to discover you'd written the exact same verse

Stop the train conductor, we're careening off of the tracks
I know I've been gone for a long while, but I'm coming back
I'm on a train filled with so many passengers
They're all different people, all have unique stories
Where are they coming from? Where are they going?
With all of their luggage, and nobody knowing
What are they running from? What do they hope to find?
To what temptation did they succumb, and what did they leave behind?
The real world has awoken new decisions in me
I'm on a train, the conductor's pain, I'm on my knees pleading

The way the water wades in the moonlight perpetuates my steadfast belief
Even something so vital erodes, so the Earth must turn over a new leaf
Kind of reminds me of all of my values, 100 years from now will they be?
Will they live on well beyond my years or will my values die with me?
And I want the world to know I've done my best to do right by you
And I want the world to see just who you are and what you did to me
And I want to tear apart these bonds that hold me, so you told me
And I wish I wrote this page so I could say I saw this coming
This happened so long ago, but still your memory tends to haunt me
I've turned over a new page, but what we could have been sometimes taunts me
My resolute foundations, complications seep in through the cracks
You're vital for my life, but given the choice I would not take you back

We'll Never Know

Knowing I'm not dead
Is better left unsaid
In these turbid waters
The waters which I tread
I'm swimming against the tide
But I just can't decide
If this life is circumstance
Or our currents just collide
I'm on this lifelong quest
Discovering the rest
Of answers I can't find
Without leaving life behind
And I can't see the way
This journey's day by day
The weather feels warm
But the skyline just looks grey
And that's the way things are
We're all made of stars
This can't all be by chance
Or we might live on Mars
But who controls our fate?
The timing all seems late
Against the stream we row
Until we're gone, we'll never know
