Madder Mortem Where Dream and Day Collide 1. Where Dream and Day Collide (Single Version) There's a man far from here who made sure to stay well clear of taking hold or letting go, always choosing not to know And then his bridges burned Sometimes still he stops and turns, listening to open skies for broken words and severed ties And I believe that wordless call he hears sometimes could reach us all I stayed for so long where dream and day collide Now I'm on fire There's a girl, one I know, who wrapped up her heart in snow Much too proud and much too vain, she thought she could hide her pain in that clean and crispy chill To this day, she feels it still Once frozen to the core, she's not who she was before And I believe that chilling cold she feels sometimes could touch us all I stayed for so long where dream and day collide Now I'm on fire Let it freeze, let it burn Someday soon it is your turn to fall down as others fell As they wept, you will as well 2. Jitterheart Known at heart, it’s seeping through To fold or fail, just speak the truth And so it’s goes You know it shoes In every line In every line In every moan Bones wail beneath the grin Step on what you were before That doesn’t matter anymore Anything you left behind is shed and done And so it goes No room for a jitterheart This road grows longer with every step you take And these mountains grow stronger with every wanderer they break Sisyfos built this slope from sweat and grit and stupid hope Doesn’t matter, anyhow You know how it goes So it goes No room for a jetterheart 3. The Purest Strain Oh, be honest You contrived to lose your latitude where you knew I would find it and make a claim Baby, don’t you know? I will find the purest strain I will flush it out and chase it down and run it through your veins All these detours spin me ‘round and leave me amazed and confused Do I have to remind you? It’s not a game And you should know by now I will find the purest strain If I have to, I will tear it out and strap it down to reign I will find the purest strain, true and pure It’s the touch of defiance that turns the page No excuses – let it flow! I will find that purest strain I will find the purest strain 4. Quietude ”Strength enough to build a home, Time enough to hold a child, Love enough to break a heart.” Wintersmith, T.Pratchett Your quietude fills the air But there’s a mindful restlessness that walks beside me Frail, thin thoughts that won’t let go And their trailings poison everything, and I swear I will never huddle at your feet Too lost and too scarred to belong Too tired and alone to go on But then the dreams behind your eyes unfold and make you shine And though my heart’s so weary of stumbling on, it always blinds me That witches’ brew of fortitude and kindness The faint, tranquil glow that shimmers where you go Oh, I know It makes no sense But every time it brings that feeling back again The light and the love and the hope The ease of it all as it grows The darkness of my life dissolving in a smile 5.
