Smoke & Mirrors You were not what I expected Aren't we all a little less and more We set aside preconceptions I fell for what you sold me Oh Was it just smoke and mirrors Did you really care for me After all the benefits of all the doubts There was nothing left to see We cling so hard to the mistake Simply 'cause it took so long to make Hide behind self-righteous truth When the one who chose to ghost was you Was it just smoke and mirrors Did you really care for me After all the benefits of all the doubts There was nothing left to see You turn the night, you fling your words like darts Saw behind the guise, you've missed your mark So paint your picture of what I am not While we disagree Agree to disagree Yeah, we disagree on what this was This was not what I expected

Longing (Fernweh) I want to know you, I want to see you With your guard down before we go Tell me your stories and I will listen To each word you say, my hand's to hold We are not just flesh and bones There is something in our soul I just want to wake to you Rest in knowing the search is through I will love you "It's not that simple" is the biggest lie we have been told I will like you We can choose this even when fear has taken hold We are not just flesh and bones There is something in our soul I just want to wake to you Rest in knowing the search is through Share your life with me and spend your time with me That is the only thing That I need

Sagittarius 04:12
Sagittarius When the skies go dark, that's the hardest time The days are full, the push and the pull Of the work to build a life But when it gets so quiet, I can't help but have you on my mind I pretend we go back again Color in the black and white Teach me to omit the good so I can switch my heart to my head 'cause I remember your words And I cut myself on all you said I opened up my heart, you tried to make me feel small I know your body, the way you take your coffee But I'm not sure you let me in at all You turned on the lights, so your shadow would make you seem tall Come close, no, not so close You'd never let yourself fall (When the skies go dark, that's the hardest time)

Little One 03:23
Little One Little one, go to sleep Dream of wondrous things you will see Little one, rest your eyes Let your heart know it's alright We waited for you And we prayed for you We longed for you Since before you were born We've chosen you And we know you Will be loved All the days of your life Little one, you are love In our hearts we keep you with us Little one, let the sun Be the reason that you wake We waited for you And we prayed for you We longed for you Since before you were born We've chosen you And we know you Will be loved All the days of your life
