The Weight Of An Empty Room

Vedera The Weight Of An Empty Room Lyrics
1.Trade This Fear

Who is this darkness
Who is this illusive dreamer
Why do I love the way this distance feels
It's coiled up independence
I want so much to run
Carry me over all this distance my dear
Trade this fear
Carry me over all
What part of my heart enters into your secrets
Where is the key to cherish you
I want to repay all the debt
Insecurities ran up
My peaceful surrender I do not own
Was I dreaming when I called you the loveliest
Was I only hoping my pride would quiet itself
And it gets so quiet
Call the guards call the authorities
And lock this tension up
Call the guards before my heart, it runs away again


2.Song For A Friend

Does she linger in the air
That follows you home each day
Do you ever stop and stare at yourself
For traces of her
Can a picture bring some comfort
Where a song melody leaves off
Is she silently rocking you to sleep
'Cause i hope and i pray
I'll see a bit of that light
In my world today
It would be an injustice not to see
That kind of love live on
What kept your eyes up
Kept your world from falling
Darkness chokes, but you found a way out
May i say your words are insight
Something unique
Hold on my friend she's rocking you out of here


3.Desire On Repeat

It's all the same
Sex in the air
Your promises all the same
You'll be the one who will always care
But how can you promise the world
How can you promise your heart when it's always searching
But i'm just like you
I don't want to deny my heart its chance to feel
I don't want to deny my soul something real
Is there anything else in this world that can satisfy me
Do you really love him they'll say
Your second chances are scribbled in the rules
But i think the consequence is just
Something more feels so exciting
And this black romance is so enticing
This desire is worth the fighting
But is it worth deciding that i am just like you
And it keeps repeating
And we keep believing
Disrupt the part of me that needs some space
Repeat that look i see in your face
Remind me of truth, remind me of the reason of existence


4.In The Quiet

Do you see my eyes losing interest, wandering about
Someone always seems to take your place
Can lighting strike the same place twice in my heart
As it does when you speak
I need that fire to burn in me
Tell me, will it be
Disguising plans i've made before
Learning what i was made for
Desire is trampled by my faults
But somehow, in the quiet you make sense
Will you fall on me
Like you did before
Oh, you've watched me in my youth
When i thought you didn't need to
You knew best


5.It's All Happening On Broadway

If you lay me down in this mess will i remember your name
When you come back calling for me like you said you would
Do i trust your breath will sustain you in all your long hours
Do i love your weakness enough to see it as my strength
Do you come back to me
When everyone else has failed you
I am no more flattered by your wandering eyes
Than i am by your softly broken lies
Oh, the air is thick with betrayal
We search for devotion and wind up settling for emotion
You don't make me want to dance with you
You make me wanna, you make me wanna
Make me wanna run and find something true
Something true, someone like you


6.Redemption Soon

My eyes they never sleep
My eyes they torture me
My heart it falls so fast, but it looks back
My knees are getting weaker each passing day
With each word of disapproval my backbone falters
Could this be my ticket out of here
Could this be the one i'm dreaming of
Could this be redemption soon
I need redemption soon
Believe me when i say
I'm trying to make it just like you
Could you show some grace
Fall back into my spell
Into my hell
You don't even know where i come from anymore
It used to be so easy
Your provision doesn't even fall on my land anymore
Conversation weakens in your eyes


7.Song Four, Side Two

Dreamers stop here
In hopes they'll get a chance of a lifetime ago
But i will not wait there
Drifters stop here and think
The way they lived life with no plans
My decision is drawing near
Please lover find me
Though the seasons break us up
Please lover remind me
That at the hand of the sea
It's you and me again
Branches break here in denial
Of what they once held up
The crisp air cuts my heart
Breathe it in they say, live the life
But as the snow falls you no longer see
The light of who you could be
All the flowers slowly fade
All the leaves that long to change
Even in december i'll still be calling out


8.Lover's Lie

Where'd you go
The leaves they move too fast
I was lost looking for your face
Did you go to catch the lovers lie
Or to move the stars and put them in place
Is there ever a dream of mine you haven't heard
I'll keep running ahead of the race
To hope i put a sparkle in your eye
Did you know when you move i breathe
I'd take blind destiny over empty space
As my friends slowly fade into ghosts
I hold on tighter, and struggle for demands
I'll keep running ahead of the race
Until i put a sparkle in your eye
