The Romantic Balloons

we left our things on the ground
cheered by the voice of the crowd
all of the world disappears as we embark

i'll come to greet you soon
and bring to you the romantic balloons

you asked me when i'd arrive
I said I can't give a time
who knows what courses the winds carry ships on their flights


You Forget

oh, look back
all the leaves are turning pale
to us, it's light, it's time
come with me
these are moments
to breathe in the warmth
a brighter life

you forget
you said you would never want
to leave it all to be erased


The Fifth Point Of The Compass

who's aboard this ancient ship, am I?
sailing over seas and clouds
friends among the ghosts, our companions
I am host to those who fell

theories among us, the fifth point of the compass
magic between us, the fifth point of the compass turns

I look out to see what lies below
lights create a blinding home
voices from the heart of the graveyard
keep me from hearing myself


The Brass Stopped Before The Second Mooring

gather your things we'll be landing soon
all our relatives are nearing the completion tower

like a single clock
all the hours closed
you glanced back to fear for our lives
then we died

taken by the sound of failing hearts
you turned to me and said "nothing will keep us apart"
