We climbed up to ne plus ultra
Sacred heartbeats amplified
Then plotted our descent back down
Evading getting our wrists tied
She wrote to me Parisian love
Wanted me to be son mari
Afterwards she wrote me off
Teaching me to feel saudade
"Don't want a cameo; I want a lead role
Typecast as your soul mate
Don't want a short fix; I want this permanent
A Kensington estate"
What kind of circus starts a show
At ten AM on Easter lundi?
I got beguiled by the thought
Of smaller elephants to consume me
"I'm not a stand in; let's set that precedent
Don't want you to replace me
Make your mind up if it's true love
I'll wear your sapphire jewelry"
Take to the air, I'll be waiting
To catch those flips and mood swings
I'll hold you so tight, clamping so hard
Your skin will indent from my ring

Who's To Blame

Why is it I keep coming around?
I'm looking for reasons to detest you
Artifacts of all the faults I've found
I'm mining reasons to resent you
Digging for all the lies you've told
And the ways that you deceive me
But I keep chipping into fool's gold
Every time that you appease me
I've spent my whole life wondering who's to blame
Why I can't make gold from hay
Like I'm some kind of charlatan denyin' the verdict
That I live within earthly constraints
I am human; I'm not a saint
Sand chews at the soles of my shoes
I wonder who's at fault; why am I stuck here?
The wind howls at my soul it subdued
Will I ever seek brighter hemispheres?
I load salt in my blood to preserve my brain
The cargo's well-worth the freight toll
I look forward to better days
My mood shifts from hateful to grateful
I've spent my whole life wondering who's to blame
Why I never won shell games
Got lured into the trap like a dunce wearing a cap
Maybe some day, I'll trace the route
Maybe, but I have my doubts
Spent my whole life wondering who's to blame
Why I can't rewind the days
I got a complex that cannot be suppressed
Maybe some day I'll reconcile
My good intentions and my guile

Wind Water Fire Earth

I was on cloud nine until I got wind of the truth
It brought me down to earth so quick without a parachute
I better put my love on ice before I go up in flames
I'll save it for a better time, now that my plans all got maimed
You’re the one I love, the co-pilot I dream of
You’re the one I love, the co-pilot I dream of
Will l end up a haunting memory
You’ll ask yourself: How would life be with me?
A reminder true love exists
It just slips through your grip when time and space pull and twist
I’ve never been this patient with someone changing their mind
But I see some of myself in you; I try hard to empathize
It’s tough to know which calls to make when life’s had no precedent
I just wish this wasn’t a crash landing; I wanted a smooth ascent
You’re the one I love, the co-pilot I dream of
You’re the one I love, the co-pilot I dream of
Will l end up a haunting memory
You’ll ask yourself: How would life be with me?
A reminder true love exists
It just slips through your grip when time and space pull and twist
