My Queen 03:22
The concrete giants are cutting the sky an immaculate fate between you and I these paper ponies lifted by flame burn into nothing, what a shame Shame A right of passage to the eternal beyond get graced by the light and then your gone to a whole new world that's all yours from the farthest mountains to the nearest shores Shores I know our paths will cross again and in our kingdom we will reign but until then our futures unseen in the mind of a king you will always be my queen Queen Queen

Threshold 03:59

Peregrine 03:06
To reflect in a book and watch the world spin fly upon the wings of the aged peregrine swoop among the pines dip towards the ground seek your own prey, bellow a screeching sound bellow a screeching sound The call of the wild is carried on the wind send your regards to the aged peregrine he grants all your wishes and flies through your dreams in a matter of moments you'll forget what you've seen A bird of myth, beast among legends he dives and he swoops with impeccable precision perched atop a birch of magnificent magnitude watches mountaineers ascend in altitude ascend in altitude The call of the wild is carried on the wind send your regards to the aged peregrine he grants all your wishes and flies through your dreams in a matter of moments you'll forget what you've seen

Boots 04:55
At the foot of his bed laid the old weathered boots a few stitches left after a lifetime of use they've seen the whole damn world and tested the bounds of time connected to his soul/sole it's the end of the line the long ramblin' road who's end is out of sight the final adventure out with his boots strapped tight so he walked to Elysian hall to dance one last time boots ready to shuffle and turn on a dime if only his sweet willow would be at his side his one and only love his now buried bride the long ramblin' road who's end is out of sight the final adventure out with his boots strapped tight so he stumbled up the hill beneath the old willow tree looked to the sunset and fell to his knees he opened his eyes up wide and took a final breath boots strapped on tight with the night came his death the long ramblin' road who's end is out of sight the final adventure out with his boots strapped tight with his boots strapped tight with his boots strapped tight

Patchwork 03:37
Wait for the parade to clear the cluttered streets any notion of pain dear oh dear surely will fleet for time heals all wounds is what they told me but my watch is no band-aid and it's plain to see it all gets better all in good time go ahead westward and waste your dime head to the underground and wash out your dreams all preconceived plans will split at the seams a patchwork of hope that was started at youth only enables and allows us all to know the well known truth that this is the world we make it we got one chance to take it if your souls a restin' then wake it there's no time and it's easy to see if you want to break free go ahead and follow your dreams and drop your phones, guns, plans words, knowledge, power envy, greed & weed cause it all gets better all in good time go ahead westward and waste your dime head to the underground and wash out your dreams all preconceived plans all preconceived plans will split at the seams So get back to the patchwork show them what you have saved fly it as a flag in your own parade fly away in your own parade fly away in your own parade

Requiem 04:43
Through thick & thin we made it through my life is rather different without you despite the end of our novel being so tragic I realize the finer things I realize the magic so thank you for your actions for then I could not sing these are words of truth but from heartache do they ring one point in time our friendship will rebuild but for now it will remain a slight wave from across the guild our paths are leading in various places where I'm sure we'll find new lovable faces for new loves to come I know this is true but I wouldn't know love if it weren't for you So thank you my dear for giving me the time unfortunately your love it robbed me blind to the wager we made so many years ago although it'll never happen I'd like you to know that you are adored from more then one being your hand in mine is still what I'm seeing it may never be it very well could until we know for sure we'll live life as we should I know I've said a lot and I know this is true but I wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for you I try to tell myself otherwise but its time to move on in a series of sorrows this is my swan song farewell old love for I truly do miss that cold march morning where we first kissed and like that it was over and like that I'm relieved but like a red sock in the white wash this heart does still bleed by now I am gone just a memory past but your memory in me forever it'll last until we meet again my old true love my lost best friend my returning dove with an olive branch in your mouth the ark is afloat and we're heading south so strike the match set this boat aflame we're performing a viking funeral for our beloved game fare the well fare the well fare the well my love fare the well fare the well fare the well my love fare the well fare the well fare the well my love fare the well ooh ooh ooh fare the well

Bottle 05:56
Thrown to the ocean bound to my fate just an empty glass bottle i rattle towards the wake hurtle through the air miss the shoreline rocks sunk to the bottom by the post of the dock the ebb & the flow brought me to shore to remember the day you put sand in my core What I was made from is now what I house memento of a day for a man and his spouse sixteen years pass and I'm high upon the shelf until a tremor came in to relinquish my wealth body in tact and sand on the floor rekindled the memory of the day at the shore in the time of being idle life dealt one cruel hand stripping a wife and child from the hard working man For the first time in years my purpose was served filled up with liquid in chance there was thirst little did I know I was filled with that potion one persons medicine another mans poison we went for a drive back to the coast tippin me back and fueling his ghost he swerved and he cried as he dwelled in the past I wasn't all to sure if my liquid would last We arrived to the shore and he stood up on the pier one lengthy tilt back and my liquid disappeared with a commotion and a stumble I remained tight in his hand until the rocks at the bottom caught the young man his grip had loosened and I'd fallen to the ocean floor until the ebb & the flow brought me back to shore until the ebb & the flow brought me back to the shore
