SINGING & SILENCE - EP

Climate

The river moves the way its made to
The current pulls you where it wants you
I'm nearly knee deep in my shadow
Diving into something shallow
This city isn't like the last
I keep catching trains from the past
They're moving fast but I'm falling behind
Chasing hollow space in time

Now the climate's shifting inside my bones
I've been holding on to what I know
But I need to let go, be brave this time
'Cause the world moves on

The way you laugh is like an art
Full of everything that sparks
The way a moment stops and starts
When you've got a human heart

Now the climate's shifting inside my bones
I've been holding on to what I know
But I need to let go, be brave this time
'Cause the world moves on

When did we become ok with fear?
Living in its hold acting like it isn't there
When did we decide we'd rather hide
Chasing hollow space in time?

Now the climate's shifting
I've been holding on
But I need to let go be brave this time
'Cause the world moves on

Storyteller

Caught you in a story where you didn't belong
Caught you in a story where you didn't belong
Was I wrong to make you stay?
Were you already on your way?

Met you in the middle of a mem'ry
The stories that we tell ourselves to write
Pressed you in a book so I could hold you
Like a poem inside
Read your words like they were really something
Carried you through all these city streets
My nose against the pages when you'd kiss me
I could never believe that I'd

Caught you in a story where you didn't belong
Caught you in a story where you didn't belong
Was I wrong to make you stay?
Were you already on your way?

You were bound to break
Undercover you could hide away
But I could make you bend and pretend
That this would never end
Then you closed yourself like you closed the door
With my fragile heart left ripped and torn
Now you're placed high on the shelf
Waiting for somebody else and I

Caught you in a story where you didn't belong
Caught you in a story where you didn't belong
Was I wrong to make you stay?
Were you already on your way?

When I write I find you sliding
Through the lines that I'm defining
You are more than I can say
For you I was always fighting
Did you know, were you lying
Are you just a storyteller too?

'Cause you caught me in a story and it won't be long
'Til you read about a girl who wandered into a song
And I will try to let you know
That it's alright, you're free to go
It's alright, it's alright

Singing & Silence

Though the storms are stretching on
And the horizon seems further every day
I will raise my head and not forget
The promise that was made

Like a lantern in the dark
Shining through a broken heart
When this life is done there is still one
Hope that cannot fade

So in the singing, in the silence
I will not be overwhelmed
Through the chaos and the quiet
In this refuge I will dwell

In the choice we make, the risks we take
It's certain that our hearts will break
But I'd rather live than hide from this
Numb in my escape

In the singing, in the silence
I will not be overwhelmed
Through the chaos and the quiet
In this refuge I will dwell

In the noise I will listen
For words unspoken
In the quiet I will wait
Like an anchor in the waves
I will not be dismayed

chorus

Bells

In a forest filled with trees
Craving oxygen to breathe
It's a dream or it's a test
You've got me reeling breathless

We've been apart for much too long
Does it matter if we're strong?
With all the phones and screens, lately we aren't sold
Sometimes you just need someone to hold

What would this city be without you on my mind?
Still the one I try to find
In the crowded streets, when the bells ring
I know I'm better by your side

You are the answer to a prayer
An icy breeze in desert air
Fire when winter wind chills the bone
Lately I can't leave you alone

What would this city be without you on my mind?
Still the one I try to find
In the crowded streets, when the bells ring
I know I'm better by your side

All the music in the air, reminding me that you're not here
Like a bird locked in a tower, awakened every hour
When the bells ring, when the bells ring

chorus

The Stream

I am small and I am not
Always as brave as I should be
Ready to be washed in these waters
But scared to take the leap

All the deserts of this land
Are thirsting for the life inside this stream
And even though I'm walking closer
I still wonder what it means when You say

"Will you walk up to the stream?
Will you go where I am calling?
Do you know that you are understood,
Do you trust that I am good?"

I can see there is no other stream
I can see there is no other way
There's more to this than playing safe
Gotta leave the shore to be amazed
and You said

"Will you walk up to the stream?
Will you go where I am calling?
Do you know that you are understood,
Do you trust that I am good?

It may be all you have
It may be all you'll find here
but it's all you need

Will you walk up to the stream
Will you go?
Will you go?"
