(Spoken)
"Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming,
and I wonder whether or not I'll wake up
if I were to die.
And then I wonder
if I'm dreaming.
Sometimes, I can't decide on any of it.
But… I wish I... could."
The words that we meant
still enduring, still innocent
as the love we once sent.
Wishes long spent,
words that weren't meant
nothing else left
that's heaven sent
nothing else left
but words that weren't meant
and wishes long spent
The world pulls me down,
as it whispers me to sleep.
all of this, without a sound,
The secrets mine to keep.
Save me as I drown,
the secrets are too deep.
Death will not reap.
Children don't weep.
We never sleep.

Fade, falling slowly
like my words scraping dully
worries and sorrow
like it's already tomorrow
Time ticks as I fracture
I tear as I fall
I think I might break here,
I hope that's not all.
I won't fall too far
I won't go too far.
Dance by the fire,
we'll never tire
we'll never cry here.
Light gently gleams,
it is more than it seems.
Clearing doom from our dreams
and gloom from our rooms.
Would we ever fall,
if we take what we get,
would we live with regret?
Or do we let it all fall?
Our sorrows fade slowly.
Light gently gleams,
we all have our dreams.
Show me all is at it seems
as our sorrows fade slowly.

All that we reveal
as we stare in to the sea
Is this really real?
Can you tell me what to see?
This is really me,
Am I all that I could be?
This is how it's supposed to be,
and you are all that I can see.
Is this how it's supposed to be?
I really don't know,
but I think I feel hollow.
I wanted to know
I don't think I should follow.
We will recall
buildings so tall
we will recall
the reasons we fall
there's reasons we fall.
There's reasons we fall.
We fall.

Nathan Nish - Dim and Go
03:24
|

It's all you deserve...
I've been in shadows and silence
for those you've brushed aside
I missed the violence
and the times you've lied
Another night done,
another night gone.
Another light out,
another light doubt.
It gets close to dawn.
So long down this road alone.
Opting often for lights passing drone.
Another day done,
another day gone.
All that echoed now is still.
You're sitting silent by the window.
And your memory has it's fill.
Another day gone, another day done.
Left with only flickering desires
Left with only flickering desires
As they dim... and go…

We march alone,
would it be so wrong
if we sang a song?
The world moves on
long after we're gone
the sun to the dawn
please, won't you keep strong?
All the dreams we once had
scrape against the things we must face
I think I'll go mad,
but I must find that place.
Oh, I must find that place.
Why don't I belong?
Remember this song,
The world moves on
long after you're gone.
We march alone.

Don't open your eyes, you won't like what you've found.
Keep your head down, let's keep it a surprise.
If this were a dream, would you want to wake up?
Or is this just to prove you exist?
Write it on the wall.
Bang my head against it all
is this still a dream?
or have I really woken up?
Will I go deeper,
or have I just slipped here?
Will you see the truth,
choose not to fear?
am I asleep here
would you still care
as the world begins to tear
angels gone, demons scare
please don't leave me here
you always said you cared.
If I continue so wise,
Will I see the truth or the lies?
Can I open my eyes?
Or will that realize the dream?
a man doing more than he tries
nothing more than it seems.
If I believe, maybe I can leave.
Oh if I believe, maybe I will leave.
But do I believe?
What do I believe?

Days go on.
The sun still glows,
there always was a flow.
No other way things could have gone.
Gazing out,
do(s)zing on and on -
on and on.
That voice that told you not to stay:
"You can make your way,
make your own way."
Don't you fade away,
I won't let you fade away.
All I ask is to be alone.
Be alone while I break apart
break apart inside my head
remembering the things we said:
why won't you leave,
why don't you go?
All I ask is to be alone,
be alone while
I break apart, break apart
Remembering the things we said
things we said:
why won't they leave,
why won't you go?
all I ask is to be alone,
be alone while I
break apart, break apart.
There always was a tune.
Another way you could have played.
Can't you hear
it fade?
Singing, death we are immune
death we are immune
will this dream
end soon?
before these thoughts consume,
don't you hear me fade.
All I ask,
is to be alone
be alone
while I break apart
break apart inside my head
why won't you leave,
why don't you go
all I ask
is to be alone.

Nathan Nish - Truth
04:09

I guess if this weren't real,
it might just do to change.
If it's down to all I feel
will I be free of these chains?
It may just do
to make something new.
If this is all we do,
will we be part of the few?
You look now,
it's like it's fracturing.
I blink again,
It's like you're gleaming.
I wish this were all true,
then I'd feel so much less blue.
I think I'd heal here, too;
please tell me it is true…
You made it, dear,
but it's not your world.
If this is really hell,
then at least we have each other.
At least we have you and me.

Knock on the sky,
don't let it pass you by.
Clock on the wall,
don't pay attention at all.
If we can get away,
why don't we seize the day?
Listen with the leaves,
as they sway.
Don't be afraid
I heard this day won't fade.
I know that time still ticks.
Chase it away, and see what sticks.
Close to the sky,
down by the river…
If we never die,
I'd be happy to live here.
Can I just stay here?
Can I just live here?
Can I just live here?
Can I just stay?
Can I just live?

Nathan Nish - Doubt?
03:38
|
|||
|
I just can't stop this.
Time keeps flowing on,
I've tried slowing down.
I'm tired of know now,
but I'll try going on,
and on.
We're not told what's going on.
And we're moving fast now.
We all scurry in a hurry,
but it's still growing old.
I'll drown myself in deep gray clouds,
To leave behind all this self-doubt.
There's a great big shout
covering all this doubt.
It rings out.
It is quiet,
it is late.
And we move -
We move on,
so slow.
You know.
You always wanted to know.
Now you know, you know,
all you wanted to know.
Leave this behind.
You shined so bright,
as I fell away from the clouds.
Back to the crowds,
back into now.
with you,
within light,
without doubt.
