Rapid Transit Dreams

true love lays with hummingbird wings
fluttering like the hearts and their beats
only love gives me the best kinds of rings
bless my one knee - like a knight to its king

wide eyed browns sink my heart into the ground
earthquake heartbeats, surrounding sounds
lights flirt in the sky
turning clocks and pausing time
can we make one night last the rest of our lives?
your hand in mine
angel dust
floating up above
so full of love that my heart's going to crush

how can you forget what can't ever leave?
minds racing like rapid transit dreams
fear transcends my body while it's tearing at its seams
hold my heart on your chest
i promise not to leave

Sora

Songbird sing
songbird fly
these hammers and strings
will write you a lullaby
blossom in the sun
the sand crawling on your skin
songbird is at home, where she deserves to be
i'm high above
you're down below
but these words and melodies
will have me heard
baby wind blows me away
it's always spring when you're with friends
home is where the heart is
and you wear it on your sleeve
let the whole world hear you sing

"Já sei namorar
Já sei chutar a bola
Agora só me falta ganhar"
winning and losing
double standard all the way
lullabies that will never end
the whole world is at your end
lost but always looking ahead
songbird fly
fly away
the laces of monotony that were wrapped around you
they have gone away
a cord at last remains
dreams are treaded
and lives are bred
the breaths you've stolen
only they remain
surprise the world once again
no one has heard you
and once you start
you won't stop again

songbird fly
songbird sing
stretch your golden records for wings
(we'll teach the world how to live)

(This is for you. I probably shouldn't have to tell you, but you'll get everything once you read it. "Eu falo portuges")
