How I wish you could be happy How I wish you could turn away All the things that keep you asking Should I stay Should I stay On the edge of disbelieving Still the future will fall your way All your time is lost to grieving Wedding day Wedding day It’s okay It’s okay But life’s a beautiful lover And love’s only timing She’s not a typical mother But please keep on trying For me, keep on trying And I’ve tried to understand it Every moment I am afraid Have I taken you for granted? Please just stay Please just stay And I remember you singing As tears filled my eyes Feel my heart in you is beating In love and alive

Belltown 05:00
Downtown Eyes down The secrets on the city bus Don’t tell She sees Bodies She’ll never have another one Oh well Does it show Her smile on a silver plate When it’s over Her mind is still a safer place Come home Unknown The pages in the magazine Still shine Oh yes Black dress She pours herself a different drink Each night And she goes Places everybody knows Can you find her Hiding in the afterglow Wear a pretty little smile Make believe Dolls are fun for just a while Set her free She might be the one she really needs

Vera 04:09
Vera, glitter on your cheeks You’re so lovely in the sun Vera, shimmer in the breeze Hearing color start to run Living every fantasy In your endless summer mind Sitting on your balcony Blowing kisses to the sky Baby you’re on holiday Did you capture every smile Maybe you can stay this way But it’s going out of style

Eden 04:57
Open your eyes You’ve been sleeping through the daytime You’ve been going round in circles in your mind Put up a fight For the hundredth time it’s not right You’ve been pushed around by bullies all your life And just when they say it’ll end The reaper surfaces again How many blessings can they send To scatter useless in the wind No end Nowhere to hide It’s gonna be a landslide There’s a moment here that will not pass us by And they say they’ve done all they can With solemn faces they pretend It’s time to say never again Bring this illusion to an end It’s time to say never again It’s time to say never again It’s happening every day There’s gotta be more to life If silence is what it takes Stop waiting for better times

Avila 04:01
Can I take you to the beach with me We can take all day to stroll to the sea If you need Wish that I had known you when We were school kids Still I gaze upon you now As I once did And though forever is always in a rush Won’t let it get the best of us And I can never remember very much these days But I cannot forget your love When I look across the room I always find you No one ever has to know What our eyes do Let’s count the rings inside the tree Just to feel young Let’s count the wrinkles in our skin From the hot sun And the ocean And though forever could never be enough There is a dawn upon a dusk And to be honest I’m never in a rush Anywhere I go that you are still my love You’re the only one who ever made my coffee right You’re the only one who saw the magic out of sight So can I take you to the beach One more time I’ll be the sea, you’ll be the breeze And the sunshine

Mother of the water Flowers on the altar Did you see me falter When I saw you beaming Vision of the deep blue Remedies that you grew Does it ever scare you Eyes wide and dreaming Medicine woman with braids in your hair Pass to your daughters the beads that you wear Medicine woman with beads in your hand Joy of the jungle and salt of the land Am I enchanted or am I insane Have I been granted the violet flame Mother of the water Flowers on the altar Did you see me falter Or am I just dreaming

Jess 03:41
Jess is keen on a reckoning She’s a wanderer at heart Noble deeds and apologies Raise questions from the start Hide and seek by Juday creek Turn and count to ten Gonna sneak a little peek What’s really happening High and dry on a desert road There’s a wellspring up ahead Cyanide and the holy ghost With a chalice in his hand Take a sip it all comes quick Her heart is pumping lead Hold on tight to your sacred rite Is the last thing that he said No recall this time Don’t look him in the eye To turn back is to die Does she laugh or cry Jess digs deep for the inner peace That always gets her by But her ears are ringing And she knows exactly why

Sophia 05:57
Goddess of love What have we forgot Mother above Myth became a thought There was a time Before the age of man Water and wine House upon the sand Dig through the rubble The veil of the past A rhythm so subtle A chaos so vast Look within What do we know When we know it all Seeds that we sow Right behind a wall There is a jewel Set into the rust There is a fool Kicking up the dust Sophia unravels She spins at her web The spiral we travel Begins at the end Look within Amber waves Wash away the line

Iona 04:40
Only child Wide awake Rose so wild Lighting up a room for her own sake Seventeen and time to run away She’s spinning Moves like lace Iona Draws a beauty mark upon her face Seventeen was awful fun All those years ago Short on sleep and dreaming of Life in stereo Life in stereo… But you can’t be gone forever baby You’re already halfway home You can’t be gone forever baby
