When

Hello, I've waited here for you, everlong

Tonight, I throw myself into

And out of the red, out of her head, she sang

Come down and waste away with me, down with me

Slow, how you wanted it to be

I'm over my head, out of her head, she sang

And I wonder when I sing along with you

If everything could ever be this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

She sang

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in, hold you in

And now I know you've always been

Out of your head, out of my head, I sang

And I wonder when I sing along with you

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

She sang

And I wonder If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

Anangi

Blessings assured, waiting patiently

You come to me once in a dream

I live it the same

I'll wait for you..

Just sit here and wait for you

Forever

What else do I have?

Need to possess

Need to hold onto something more

Need you

Live you

Taste you

Smell you

Breathe you

I am no more than this

You are all there is

Hold me again and this time forever, swear it

No more perfect mistakes

No more careless excuses

We are no longer blind to this truth

We are together and belong together

Here we lie, separate

Yet we still remain as one

You can't deny, inside the lies we try to hide

Time is not linear, I try to remember

Waiting patiently

With nowhere else to go

I'll wait here forever

I have no choice

Unravel

Hidden truths, we look for the reasons why

What we find are only questions, no answers

The answers create insanity, and loss of hope

Inescapable feelings, indifference, lack of ambition

And no way to be driven

Imagination, the key to manifestation

Create love, create drama, create pain

Create emotion, create thought, create the mind

Look inside to find what’s within behind

Nothing exists save this constant consciousness

The outer shell and windows within

Plug in plug out of this world of your own

Nothing to do, nothing to say

Which reality is true anyway?

Time nonexistent, only in blocks of experience

Dress me up in life’s fancies

Dreams more real than this constant insanity

Can’t blow it away with nowhere to go

This linear time moving slow

In the waiting, pain exhilarating

Patience comes when consciousness witnessed

Life is blessed, and real only in myths

Dream a choice manifest the best

Daily lives convert this nothingness

Dimension to dimension we carry hopes

Live again while laughing within

God himself only aware of that which is

That which isn’t becomes tomorrows dream

A new reason to smile

A new reason to cry

How we love these worlds in lies

Cosmic riddles shown deep in eyes

Death, depth, depressed, deep rest

Swallow the water and forget the trust

Make it real make it true

There is absolutely nothing else to do

Your own true essence smiling above you

Unravel it and create something beautiful anew
