an introspective shiemi in a nebulous early canon period


01; aftershow - megumi acorda

if loneliness comes crashing in, you can hold me, it's okay
if she makes you feel so empty, you can hurt me, it's okay
and if maybe she decides to stay
we can dance to songs that she will play

04; island cottage - sea oleena

Somehow there's a ship inside a bottle
And a mountain in a picture frame.
For every open window there's a suitcase
Being packed and emptied out again.
There's a spider in the medicine cupboard
And the walls are full of mice again

03; stone wall, stone fence - gregory and the hawk

Big open land,
You hold the weight of the air in your hands
Big open air,
You feel the tickle of the trees on your chest
Why'd you go and waste it
The things that you know
Are making you a stone wall, stone fence
Your stories so old you just tend to keep them

Long winding road,
You've got a secret but you won't share it

05; house by the sea - iron & wine

Around the house by the sea
The scent of roses and raspberry leaves
And there is smoke in my clothes
Too much time with just smoke in my nose
And I've been making the meaning they lack
And I've been burning that book they come back too

And I've been living to run where they led
And I've been dying to rise from their bed
And I've been sparing my neck from their chain
And they've been changing the sound of my name
And I've been swimming to them in my sleep
And I've been dreaming our love and our freedom

02; oak tree - mirel wagner

Lady left me here underneath this old oak tree
She made me a bed of roots and leaves
With a trembling voice she sung me to sleep
Said dream, dream, dream, dream, sweet dreams

Dark was the night, cold the ground
I heard voices all around
Sign of storm, fallen in dawn
My little soul is now free and unbound

06; living in dreams - kina grannis

It's nights like these
I'm not distracted by the sound.
I sit for hours in a chair inside my head.
There's one more in the attic. If I brought it down,
you think you'd like to join me, tonight?

And so my dreams,
they fill me up.
They bring me down
and the dry me up.
When I'm with you though,
smiling, as I know
I only have so long
before the sun will rise.

07; blossom - yvette young

if your body gives away underneath the weight of the world,
its unforgiving hands pull, clench all the life from us all,
and it takes and it takes
be a rose in this wasteland
you could bloom if you opened up your heart

08; what if - emilie autumn

I know you've got it figured out
Tell me what I am all about
And I just might learn a thing or two
Hundred about you, maybe about you
I'm the end of your telescope
I don't change just to suit your vision
'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope
Around my hands, tied around my hands
And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free
And put your hands over both your ears
Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not
The perfect girl you thought
Well what have I got to lose

09; salute my shorts! - rilo kiley

And the freeways
They go coast to coast
They've taken away all my good friends
And i don't care if you're broke
You can't stay here tomorrow

And the dreams have come back again
But this time i'm not just watching them
Its me as pilot instead
And i land the plane all by myself
No you can't stay here tomorrow
