Imaginary Friend
03:48

|||
My ship is wrecked, I barely float
I heard your echo say you’d never go
Washed ashore, I wake up to find you gone
With scraps you left, I built a fort
Under moonlight on the shore
From where you sailed off the pitch black sea calls me to its mouth
A world apart
I'm a child lost in pretend
Tell me where you've been, imaginary friend
Swimming out, I search the sea
For any sign you might have called for me
Empty handed, I lose my legs I lose my arms
One last look up, that moon still glows
Lit by a source of light I used to know
Some distant sun warms foreign ground where you walk now
A world apart
I'm a child lost in pretend
(Where we ended)
Tell me where you've been, imaginary friend
(Were you pretending?)
You don't start
Kind of looks like you'll never end
(You'll never end)
Tell me where you've been, imaginary friend
Sinking down, I lose my lungs
A final voice speaks in foreign tongues
Its message clear: “There is new life after this life”
There is new life after this life
Let go of me
Don’t let go of me
Sometimes a lie will bring you peace
Most times it knocks you to your knees
Let go of me
Never let go of me
Sometimes pretend will tend your wound
Each night the sun bows to the moon
Let go of me
(There is new life after this life)
Don’t let go of me
When we next start
Know I'll find you again
Tell me where you'll be, imaginary friend

Love Like a Lion
04:48
|
|||
The worlds behind your smile
You clutch them tight
I can sit and watch them unfold
With you all night
I hear you through the silence
Respect your doubt
And when you hide in tall grass
I wait you out
Like a lion, brave and strong
Trust your gut when something's wrong
You love like a lion
You always prowl around my head
Endlessly burn
In due time we bear ourselves
Go, it's your turn
And what if two things forged to one?
Where have we been?
If you live another life,
Find me again
Practice patience, find your breath
Sometimes new life looks like death
You love like a lion
You love like a lion (3x)
I won't forget, please don't forget
I won't forget, please don't forget
The worlds behind your smile
They look like home
I always have them with me
Wherever you roam
No matter time or miles
No matter space
I still see a future in your face
Like a lion, you struck me strong
Remember me when summer's gone
You love like a lion
You love like a lion (3x)
I won't forget, please don't forget
I won't forget, please don't forget
I won't forget
You love like a lion (3x)
I won't forget, please don't forget
(You love like a lion)
I won't forget, please don't forget
(You love like a lion)
I won't forget, please don't forget
(You love like a lion)
I won't forget

Reflection Pool
04:07
|

I'm not gonna save you
You're not gonna save me
But every now and then we need a friend
Meet me at the pool tonight
We can reflect and right
All the wrong we've yet to do
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
With everything I've figured out
I still can't erase the doubt
At the start of every road I fear it's end
They say, "Everything is fleeting, love"
But I can't help dreaming of
All the good we've yet to do
I want to rest with you, rest with you
I want to rest with you, rest with you
I'm not gonna save you
You're not gonna save me
At the end of this road I have my friend
How I missed you, I missed you
How I missed you, I missed you
(I miss you, I miss you)

Pray Me Away
03:31
|
|||
Some nights I summon your eyes
And revel their ghostly light
Like stars, long dead, yet there
Defying time, they glare
Pray me away
Pray me away
Some nights I'm stuck in the cold
The terror of growing old
When promises decay
You have to carve another way
Pray me away (4x)
And we start where we ended
Cause at least I had a friend then
And it's sadder pretending
(Tell me where you've been)
But the signal got lost in the sending
(I'll find you again)
Some nights I remember my voice
And it rises through all that noise
Pray me away
Pray me away
And say that you're okay
(It's just a bedtime story)
Tell me you're okay
(It's just a bedtime story)
And I'll be okay
Yeah, I'll be okay
I'll be okay
