Lyrics
Since you went away
I swear I’m ok pretending how bout you
Romancing a stone as I throw a pebble to make a wish
*Drawing a heart in the sand
Letting the time slip through my fingers
As the waves come wash away
I’m drowning in your oceans of dreams
Empty as a shell
Gasping for breath
I reach to you
Save me from myself
*Drawing a your name in the sand
letting my heart slip through your fingers
As the waves come wash away
Sandcastles wash away, Sandcastles watch em wash away
*Drawing a sun in the sand
letting the stars slip my fingers
As the waves come wash away
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
I gave my locket
A talisman from harm
She gave me a dirty needle
And shot me in the arm
I gave my love a flower
For all my faith to feel
He gave me a poisonous snake
Bit me on the heel
*She told me that I was her one true love
Forever we would laugh & sing
I never knew that she was gone
Til I saw her engagement ring
We spoke of how our bond was perfect
That nothing could separate
My love you’ve learned the hardest way
That we are not the same
Some people are full of light
Some live under a star of love
You are more the wastrel type
That lie until their loves bled white
*I told him that I was his one true love
Forever we would laugh & sing
He never knew that I was gone
Til he saw my engagement ring
So tell me where you roam tonight my love
Under the canopy of wedding bells
Wherever you are gone or going
I hope that you will burn in hell
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Lyrics by Paul Roessler)
Face down as you hold your breath
And your second guessing every step you fake
And your gone even when I’m by your side
Never wonder if I cried
How I feel you will never know
The real me cuz the tears they won’t show
Look inside when you wanna believe
But you lost your faith on another street
And you try to fight but your walking away
As your contradicting every word you say
Take a stand but you’ve fallen down again
Say goodnight wide awake in him
Sick of me & I’m sick of you too
Should’ve known you never would be true
With a start always comes an end
Oh with the time you’ll realize
If you are meant to be mine
Still couldn’t you’ve been more kind
Real love is so hard to find
I tried so hard to be everything that you wanted me to be
I tried so hard to be everything that you wanted me to be
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler / Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)
What Is, is
And that has to be enough
I am here loved
I type the words ‘Everything for you’
I think I decided long ago
Everything for you
Do not cry, not for me, not for you
I won’t cry, I won’t suffer anymore
I will be the silent lover of What Is
You needn’t send the keys
Or do any of the fevered things
That I howled at you for all these years
Only be well & happy
I’m here asking nothing
Spreading out into some strange
Eternity where love is all
Pain is our brother & our friend
Love is a gift until it ends
Love is a gift until it ends
Love is a gift until it ends
(Music & Lyrics by Paul Roessler
Love me, Hate me, even hurt me
It feels like love to me, It feels like home
Drop me, Take all the rest and then some
(Fears, Heart tearing, Song, Crave, Care, Sad)
It’s all I ever knew
(Spin me ’round ’round ’round, all I ever wanted was you)
It’s all I ever knew
(Spin me ’round ’round ’round, all you ever wanted to do)
It’s all I ever knew
(Spin me ’round ’round ’round, all I ever wanted was you)
*Go ahead and leave & come back please, Go ahead and leave & come back please
Come & Go, Go & Come, Come & Go, Go Away
Scare me, Tear me, It feels like love to me
When the wrong feels like home, Soon your love just do you up
Take the (lies) measure of all the sharp nights that you give
Come with me, Come with me, Come with me
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
If I had a world of my own
Everything would be nonsense
Nothing would be quite what it is
Everything would be what it isn’t
If you don’t know where you are going
Any road will take you there
Start at the top & fall til you’ve reached the end
I knew who I was in the morning
But I have changed a few hundred times since then
It’s no use going back to yesterday
Cuz I was different people then
I’m afraid I can’t explain I’m not myself
Start at the top & fall til you’ve reached the end
Followed you down the Rabbit Hole
Followed you down the Rabbit Hole
How puzzling all these changes are
I am never sure who I’m going to be
From one moment to the next
We must run as fast as we can
Just to stay in place
If you wish to go anywhere
Start at the top & fall til you’ve reached the end
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
Be here now
Wandering where there is no path
It’s just another way to letting go
Thoughts of you all through my head
Running another race
Symptoms of anything that you can’t erase
*Look at you now going fast forward is rewind
Taking a ride standing still in your Time Machine
So the space helps you fly
Between darkness & light
Yet the stars are beaming for you
*Look at you now turning right what is left behind
Traveling hard & far from what once was mine
Look at you now going fast forward is rewind
Taking a ride standing still in your Time Machine
Look at you now holding a ray of sun
Never knowing what to do whether rain or shine
Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh Fly
Traveling hard & far in my Time Machine
Traveling hard & far in my Time Machine
I will never be the same
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler / Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)
Legions of people crowded waiting in line
Windmills calling squalling refugees cry
*What would you find, what would you find
Buried in secrets undiscovered vapors & dreams
(the sparrow falls, the raven calls, our children pay our debt)
What you could be, what you could be
If you believed in something greater then papers & speech
(the sparrow falls, the raven calls, our children pay our debt)
*In the storm, freedom is a mist & a word
Baiting & otherwise dragging the weak down the path
Promises empty solely the ghost of the past
*What you could find, what you could find
Buried in secrets undiscovered vapors & dreams
(the sparrow falls, the raven calls, our children pay our debt)
What you would be, what you would be
If you believed in something greater then papers & speech
(the sparrow falls, the raven calls, our children pay our debt)
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
Crazy head full of noises
Why don’t you sit in silence
Morning has broken
Time to greet the darkness
*Look unto the past to see the present so the future will be what it is
The Patterns that you try to change just stay the same until the waiting lifts away
You’re just another template
To cut & piece together
Flowers on the outside
Sadness when you enter
Broken open, all the patterns, fall together
Broken open, all the patterns, fall together
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler / Lyrics by Cherish Alexander)
(based on a poetry written by Rainer Maria Rilke)
He lay thought of empty days, great deeds done, joys he never would taste
*She arched above him disheveled life lay bare
(Mystic light stars they trembled with a sign, Curtains stirring drew her eyes)
Abandoned beneath the constellation’s fare
(clinging closely through the night, Gently glancing like a child)
As one skilled in love he recognized her mouth un-kissed, unmoved
(Unfavored by his desire, un-kissed & unmoved)
Untasted joys, disheveled life, lay beneath the quite constellation of my wish
She lay thought of empty days great deeds done joys he never would taste
(Say what you mean, Take what you need, Help you to rise, Gaze in your eyes)
Abishag grows deeply in my heart, Mystic light
(Music by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
I’ll wait til tomorrow my love
Every golden heartbeat has become
A bitter, baited, wasted breath, all lies
*And the light & the dark
In the end every spark just fades away
I’ll wait til tomorrow to be free
A broken tethered angel without wings
A fallen, fading, waiting dream
*And the light & the dark
In the end every spark just fades away
Wait til tomorrow more of the same
Wait til tomorrow more of the same
Weighting
Shine a light, shine a light
Weighting
Shine a light, shine a light
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
She stumbles home in last nights clothes
The ashtrays have all overflowed
The whisky settles in her bones
Whispers to her in the cold
The mirror tells the tale
When the liquid courage fails
She can’t deny the grey & lines
Swears this will be the last time
*Live, Live till there’s nothing left to Live
We are oceans drifting in the dawn
We are oceans drifting in the dawn
The voice inside your head screams more
When fed remains unsatisfied
So I ask what you fear most
The right just to be here alive
So lost inside the maze
There’s no one on the way
Step up to your drunken slave
Love it til it goes away
*Live, Live till there’s nothing left to Live
Living is a gift, Living is a gift
(Music & Lyrics by Cherish Alexander, Paul Roessler)
