The candle lights the fallen snow
As I trace the steps I used to know
I am broken by the letting go
A million times
And it’s colder than the reasons why
As I turn to face the drowning tide
And the storm can wait, wait outside
For another sacrifice
And the storm will rage, rage inside
But there is always a light
And we’re chosen by the hands that shape
The destinations of the fallen way
You saw heaven where the children played
So many times
And the storm can wait, wait outside
For another sacrifice
And the storm will rage, rage inside
But there is always a light
Oh there is always a light
I had to know your darker side
I had to taste your dreams
I had to walk the worlds you hide
I had to stop and breathe
The candle lights the fallen snow
As I trace the steps I used to know
I am broken by the letting go
A million times
And the storm can wait, wait outside
For another sacrifice
And the storm can wait, wait outside
For another sacrifice
And the storm will rage, rage inside
But there is always a light
Oh there’s always a light
Oh there’s always a light
Oh there’s always a light
Oh there’s always a light
(Nyte / Ciravolo) c 2017

Hey hey preacher man with a bible in your hand
Roaming the wilderness for a congregation
When Jesus died for your sins, well, he didn’t die for mine
The good Lord knows when an ill wind blows it’s no valentine
You’re holding out your arms
And calling yourself a man of faith
You’re a man of faith
A man of faith
All kinds of hunger they hide in the dark
Too many cages keep us enslaved
To sin with silence when we should protest
No chain is strong that holds just one rusted link
You’re holding out your arms
And calling yourself a man of faith
A man of faith
You’re a man of faith
He leads me down to the river
An orange moon hangs low and bright
And in his hands I will deliver
Under the bridge and into the night
There’s a whispered prayer
that swells to grace
A - man - kneels
A - bell - peals
And a silence falls on this place
Ooo, ooo, ooo
And to the heavens I turn my face
I can’t believe a man who never admits to sin
‘Cos we’ve all got darknesses to hide ourselves in
You’re holding out your arms but I see you as a wraith
You’re holding out your arms and calling yourself a man of faith
A man of faith, a man of faith

Say these words aloud
Anything at all
End this waiting
Say that I’m the one
Say that I’m enough
That it’s worth saving
And if we go too far
We can tear it all apart
I’d prefer to be like you
I was looking out , you were looking in
and all of the fear were leaving me
And if you say the word I will follow you
And we can start again …
Never far apart
Closer in the dark
Still believing
Say these words and I
Close my eyes and I’m still waiting
And all the things I thought I know disappear with you
The feeling of holding sand in my hand
But I’ve traveled the night…
Seen sudden storms break out of sights
I don’t seem to manage in my dreams
All of these things make me so scared
All of these things make me so scared
And when you say innocence lost
Innocence lost
And then you say everything’s lost
Everything’s gone
I was looking out and you were looking in
All the fears were leaving me
And if you say the word I will follow you
And we can start again …

High above the clouds
Looking down upon the sea
Ride a wave of love you gave So tenderly
But now youʼre so far away
I hardly know whatʼs true
The distance in your eyes it fades
My point of view
Itʼs too late to get it back
The time it slips away
Iʼm drifting out to sea my love No light to guide my way
Drifting
Drifting away
Drifting
Drifting away
Half way around the world
Time goes on and on and on
That ship on the horizon
Itʼs here and then itʼs gone
Distance is an open wound
No healing hands can close
Every time I call your name
Youʼre hanging up the telephone
Too late to get it back
Itʼs time to make things right
Iʼm drifting out to see my love
Youʼre almost out of site...
Drifting away
Drifting
Drifting away
Drifting
Weʼre drifting out to sea my love
(Zander/ Christian/ Matchinga/ Ciravolo)

Every kiss with you felt like the first
when innocence was just a word
And not something precious,
something rare, too raw to lose
So was it always built on sand
and with every tide it washed away?
I only need you now
now that you’re not here anymore, anymore
I’m dying every time I think of you
the long goodbye
Rain in the morning leaves me blue
Low cloud on the hill obscures my view
I only need you now,
now that you’re not here anymore, anymore
I’m dying every time I think of you
forevermore, the vow we swore
I’m crying every time I think of you
the long goodbye
we can never hold on
to an empty space
flows like a cathedral
to a holy place
another valentine
written by a another broken heart
the breath I hold is not my own
I’m only dust on the wild wind
swallow the tongue that speaks too many lies
too many lies too many lies
I’m dying every time I think of you
forevermore, the vow we swore
I’m dying every time I think of you
the long goodbye the long goodbye
I’m dying every time I think of you
the long goodbye the long goodbye the long goodbye
I’m dying every time I think of you

water falling down,
like its never gonna stop,
people walking
in water and waste
the alligators
ants and snakes,
water everywhere,
the winds swirl around
I can’t believe,
cities under water
raining
like it never did before
people waiting
and where do they go from there,
people we know
some didn’t make it,
helicopters in the air
and the water keeps rising
yeah yeah yeah yeah
citie’s under water
This ain’t just rain
This shits insane
The clouds have opened for days and days
The city’s streets are a liquid maze
I sit and watch as they fade away
Families left homeless screams and cries
Harvey comes people lose their lives
Hell from the heavens as the body count grows
Watch news at eleven for the final death toll
a major hunker down,
survival, destruction,
no matter where it’s at,
no matter what the season
many came to help
from everywhere,
it’s totally human,
people really care
I can’t believe,
cities under water
yes its true
yeah yeah yeah yeah
cities under water

There is a space between
where many of you have been
A place from which you came
one you wish to return again
Put a little electricity in your blood and we’ll beat the world
The brutality of beauty is something to behold
It happens every time
it should be a crime
A capitol offense that leaves us defenseless
and i've been hypnotized by your seductiveness
We been victimized by your destructiveness
It's a kind cruelty
delicate and damaging
Brutality of Beauty
masculine in deception
it's a kind cruelty
delicate and damaging
Brutality of Beauty
Ask the clouds to remember
it’s raining words long forgotten
I couldn’t find your benediction on the TV screen
Invisible Reflection
Perhaps it's all just an illusion
A Divine entity staring back at me
Immaculate misconception
Masculine in deception
reaches inevitable singularity
Animal teeth and summer sky
There will never be another don’t let it die
subterranean exoskeleton
paranormal strange medicine
It's a kind cruelty
delicate and damaging
Brutality of Beauty
A wild knife cuts the light
Filthy fires among the painted flames
Small fires lick the floor
You are the world set on fire
Devastate to complicate
We contemplate about our fate
put some electricity in your blood
and we’ll beat the world
it's a kind cruelty
delicate and damaging
Brutality of Beauty

Deep cuts been dried up
Dancing on the tight rope
Deep dives in thick mud
One more slip before I go
Cover my head, play dead
I don’t wanna rise don’t wanna rise
Crooked the smile, fake it
Sleepwalking in daylight
Is this what you wanted ?
Half alive and haunted
Cold eyes keep the wonder
I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger to myself
I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger to myself
Play loud and drown out
bombs are going off in a tin can head
nose bleeds, stay clean
Wipe away the tracks of the trails I’ve been
Cover my head, play dead
I don’t wanna rise don’t wanna rise
Crooked the smiles, fake it
Sleepwalking in daylight
Is this what you wanted ?
Half alive and haunted
Cold eyes keep the wonder
I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger to myself
I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger to myself
Pass away the time caught in my Hell
Sitting feeling sorry for myself
Maybe this is all that I am now
Everything dies everything dies
It’s a cruel life
Everything dies everything dies
It’s a cruel life
Is this what you wanted ?
Half alive and haunted
Cold eyes keep the wonder
I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger to myself
I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger to myself

These flowers have no scent or color
of the hours we once spent in one another
as we fade and each day is darker than before
and our love is just petals and salt on the floor
it's almost -
almost pure
almost
I've been sleeping underwater in dreams of sand
I would drown in your arms a better man
and if I crawl back to you once more
will the waves break me down and rip me from your shore?
we're almost -
almost pure
almost
All of the beautiful words that we said
the sickness and the cure
the fire, the laughter, an unkept bed
will just be what we were
almost pure -
almost

I HAVE SEEN
I'VE SEEN THE VALLEY
I HAVE CROSSED THRU ITS DARKNESS
I HAVE LOST SO MANY BATTLES
I HAVE KNOWN SO MANY DEMONS
I HAVE FOUGHT WITH THE MEMORY OF LOVE,
BUT THE MEMORY OF LOVE IS SLIPPING THRU MY FINGERS
SOMETIMES THE MEMORY OF LOVE
IS JUST NOT ENOUGH
TO WIN THIS WAR I'M FIGHTING STILL
OH, TO STARE INTO LOVING EYES
TO SMILE TO CRY
AND TO FEEL
THE TOUCH OF A HAND AS I'M REACHING OUT MINE
MAY BE JUST, JUST A REFLECTION
I HAVE HELD THE EXPECTATION
THAT I AM NOT, I'M NOT ALONE,
THAT I AM NOT, I’M NOT FORGOTTEN,
YET WE ARE
AND THE MEMORY OF LOVE
THE MEMORY OF LOVE CAN’T CARRY ANYMORE
IT IS WORN
THE MEMORY OF LOVE, JUST MUST BE ENOUGH
EVEN THE LITTLE THAT REMAINS
OH, TO STARE INTO LOVING EYES
TO SMILE TO CRY
AND TO FEEL
THE TOUCH OF A HAND AS I'M REACHING OUT MINE
I WANT TO GIVE AGAIN
I WANT TO LIVE AGAIN
I'M DROWNING IN A WATERFALL
OF PICTURES AND PLACES AND FEELINGS RECALLED
I'VE LET GO BUT I STILL HOLD ON
TO EVERYTHING AND TO NOTHING AT ALL
MY MEMORY OF LOVE, CAN’T BE TAKEN AWAY
BUT IT STANDS IN THE DISTANCE SHRINKING
I SHOUT, BUT MY MEMORY OF LOVE IS FADING AWAY
MY MEMORY OF LOVE IT FADES AWAY
OH, TO STARE INTO LOVING EYES
TO SMILE TO CRY
AND TO FEEL
THE TOUCH OF A HAND AS I'M REACHING OUT MINE

The Ebb and Flow
The To and Fro
The delicate balance of all things
The Wax and Wane
The Pleasure and Pain
The delicate balance of all things
The Day and Night
The Black and White
The delicate balance of all things
Neither Weak nor Strong
Neither Right nor Wrong
The delicate balance of all things
Oh my love
I am a much better man
Oh my love
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When my heart beats for the very last time
I will think only of you
When my heart beats for the very last time
I will think only of you
Only of you
Only of you
The Delicate Balance of All Things
You …
The Delicate Balance of All Things
There’s guns on the roof
and smoke in the sky
The delicate balance of all things
There’s lies in the truth
and truth in the lies
The delicate balance of all things
Oh my love
I am a much better man
Oh my love
When I’m with you
When my heart beats for the very last time
I will think only of you
When my heart beats for the very last time
I will think only of you
Only of you
Only of you
The Delicate Balance of All Things
You …
The Delicate Balance of All Things

In the belt of Orion
is a particular giant
Taller than the Everest
clouding up my headspace
We’ve all been here before
Beggin for change
And I’m still unsure
of his phases
Charming if nothing
He’s ultraviolet
There’s a careful calm
in knowing nothing
It’s the only way
I’ll get to you
In this delicate hour that
you’ve crushed and devoured
Does it know my intention?
for final ascension
Now, keep a straight face
It never was a game
I’m just a dot
in his formation
And I understand now
why Taurus shunned him
There’s a silent charm
In these glitter highways
they’re the only way
to run from you
I could rise like a pharaoh
from the still of the gallows
But I cling to the poison
Just to let all the noise in
and hide behind the face
Maybe i’ll escape
But i’m pleasured by his gazes
Stopping at nothing
to kill the violence
Save your own demise
from the stars half your size
you have bruised
Orion …

When did I miss it
When did I go
When will I feel Him
When I am cold
When life is fleeting
When life has slowed
When does it open
Where does it go
Where is my Angel
When will She show
When will I see Him
When will I know
When is my review
What will it show
When life is leaving
And my hearts too slow
When I start soaring
Where will I go
And how come I know you
And how come I feel
How can I see this
How is this real
Look at the colors
Look at this time
How come I sinned
How wrong was I
What was I thinking
What did I know
What life did I lead
What love I show
Look at my family
Look at my life
What did I do
What made me cry
Where is my Angel
When will She show
When did I miss Her
Where did she go…in my soul
When did I miss it
When did I go
When life was fleeting
When life was slow
I’m going to miss you
Where will I be
It’s not my time yet
So much to see
With my feet on the ground
I’ll do my best
To love more people
And pray for the rest
Love is all there is …
