Dayburn "Hollow Sounds, Part I" (DER-644)

01. Here Tomorrow
the only time. that i see you. is on the holidays. and the funerals. of those who stayed. i’m still our city. its crumble is me. pummel down. your heavy storm. will i still be here tomorrow? the blazing sun. i can barely see. but it’s here i’m meant to be. i drove past. our old home and all of the ghosts of me. empty stores. and boarded windows. the diner we used to eat. you’re waiting on love. to crawl out the seams. pummel down. your heavy storm. i’ll still be here tomorrow. the blazing sun. i can barely see. but it’s here i’m meant to be

02. Everything After
for this once. a prelude a chapter. and everything after. closed on a dog-ear fold. i’m the strum. make me your rhythm. i’ll be your atmosphere. let’s get the hell out of here. the break the bone. the lovely home. the atrophy. the ache you sold. the mending cracks. the way you roam. as i remain right here. i’ve become. the scratch of a kiss. the dig in my rib cage. that lifted me in the air. i’ve become. the warmth in the chill. a voice in the darkness. that slowed my heart beat down. the break the bone. the lovely home. the atrophy. the ache you sold. the mending cracks. the way you roam. as i remain right here. we made a family. made something bigger than ourselves. and we’ve become the ones. who are no longer here. i’m the breath. the rise of a chest. the words of a story. i hear with my ear pressed down. i’m the hum. the tap on the wheel. the song on the speakers. the mend of a broken heart. the break the bone. the lovely home. the atrophy. the ache you sold. the mending cracks. the way you roam. as i remain right here. we made a family. made something bigger than ourselves. and we’ve become the ones. who are no longer here

03. Unsevered
how much does it hurt? well it comes in waves. how do we keep going? take it day by day. when does it get better? it may never fade away. yeah our ropes are frayed. but our ties remain the same. cut out. all that lies maligned. lo and behold the knife. all we have is love. while we have the time. we’re here. i’ll hold your hand near. it’s not the end dear. the stars will fade. as the sun comes. up another day. how much does it hurt? well it comes in waves. how do we keep going? take it day by day. when does it get better? it may never fade away. yeah our ropes are frayed. but our ties remain the same. apart. but we share a life. going but never gone. away but it’s not for long. i’ll see you again. when our days are done

04. Little Moments
all of these little moments. they got me thinking. you better soak it up now. no time for blinking. i’m holding on to water. and it slips away. is it not enough. that i get to be the one. who gets to be here? do i ask to much. that i wish that i. could share this my dear? if we had more time. if we had more time. i didn’t understand it. when i was younger. i barely understand it. now as i hold her. i’m standing in your shadow. or are you with me? i’m holding on to water. and it slips away. is it not enough. that i get to be the one. who gets to be here? do i ask to much. that i wish that i. could share this my dear? if we had more time. if we had more time. i can’t remember your words. but i can feel them. am i an echo of you? am i your spirit? you are the song within me. you are the lyrics. i’m holding onto water. and it slips away

05. Skipping Stones
if we. just do nothing. looking. in each others eyes. could we. sit in silence? would we. need to speak these words? here we are in time. where we will always be. do you. ever wonder. if we. met another time. could we. have been strangers? would we. have a different home? here we are in time. where we will always be. forever. don’t know how it starts. i don’t know how it got away. the lift of skipping stones. if we rest. will we drift away? are we. ever mourning. the child. we had yesterday? or ever. celebrating. the person. that we get to meet. here we are in time. where we will always be. forever. don’t know how it starts. i don’t know how it got away. the lift of skipping stones. if we rest. will we drift away?

06. All Of You
i hold onto a spark. i pass to you. as i watch it take. it passes through me. as the seconds go. and the minutes too. the hours and days. will all follow suit. as years slip away. as we watch the waves. what was long ago. we will call yesterday. yet here we are. treading water. as the world grows darker. take in all of you. it’s all i can do. treading water. as i hold the hand of my daughter. take in all of you. what more can i do? tell me capture it all. before you fall. as i lift up the pen. the moments gone. as the seconds go. and the minutes too. the hours and days. they all follow suit. as the seasons change. as we rearrange. what was long ago. we will call yesterday. yet here we are
