"Love's a verb", "an inner light",
"Twin pinpoints that dance inside!"
Make it live, and burn it through the night.
Heat recedes from the death of days;
all that I can hear or say
is "Hold me close, and cut this cloth away."
The day-to-day drives me insane,
but swimming free within your veins,
I watch these worried lines slowly erase.
This world of lightning; rain in june,
flowers blossom on the moon.
You hold me close and say we'll be there soon.
Chorus
It feels like this tension between the world and I,
evolves into connection to something more worthwhile.
Seven billion people seem
to grasp at some forgotten dreams
when all they need has laid in front of me.
Eye to eye, you breathe, I breathe,
this is what those people need.
You hold me close and shake their burdens free.
Chorus:
It feels like this tension between the world and I,
evolves into connection to something more worthwhile.
One million years of progress still built upon desire.
This storm of raw connection can set our bounds on fire.
In is out and up is down, every color, every sound
has poured itself into this place we found.
Hypnotic noise and endless highs
as we dance inside the sun tonight.
Hold me close and don't kiss me goodbye.
This album is a perfect example of music for the sake of music. There are little to no intelligible words, but lyrics are simply (catchy) melodies, almost as if we should move to the music, not flair. Arcade Island
I love how this album exemplifies feelings and moods, the songs aren't necessarily about events. Sometimes I think that says more about life than anything else. Arcade Island
