Submission

Always a new temptation, I am desire
Always in moderation, if it's a hunger from the heart
Trying to keep it all out of sight and mind
Out of sight and mind, trying to work a reason why, I don't recognize myself

The less you expect from me, the less you get
Every test you give me the more I can remedy myself
I can't keep giving into mistakes I've made
The mistakes I've made
I can't keep living life left behind, I don't recognize myself

Always a new temptation and no one hears me now
Always in moderation, if it's a hunger from the heart
Trying to keep it all out of sight and mind
Out of sight and mind
Trying to work a reason why, I don't recognize myself

I don't recognize myself
Are you now are you now are you now?

~ Delphic

Tallahassee

Window facing an ill-kept front yard
Plums on the tree heavy with nectar
Prayers to summon the destroying angel
Moon stuttering in the sky like film stuck in a projector
And you
You

Twin prop airplanes passing loudly overhead
Road to the airport two lanes clear
Half the whole town gone for the summer
Terrible silence coming down here
And you
You

There is no deadline
There is no schedule
There is no plan we can fall back on
The road this far can't be retraced
There is no punch line anybody can tack on
There are loose ends by the score
What did I come down here for?
You
You

風の街へ

Kaze no Machi e
(To wind's town)

Kanji

時の向こう　風の街へ
ねえ、連れて行って
白い花の夢かなえて

甘い指でこの手をとり
ねえ、遠い道を
導いて欲しいの
貴方の側へ

その歌声絶えない昼下がり
目覚めて二人は一つになり
幸せの意味を始めて知るのでしょう
連れて行って…

その歌声切なく高らかに
全ての心に響くのでしょう
幸せの意味を知らずに眠る夜に…

まだ知らない夢の向こう
ねえ、遠い道を
二人で行けるわ
風の街へ

Beyond time, to wind's town
Ne, take me away
Grant the white flower's dream

With gentle fingers, take this hand
Ne, through the distant path
I want you to show me the way
To your side

That singing voice never ceases, in the early afternoon
Waking up, two people become one
The meaning of happiness, will be known for the first time
Take me away...

That singing voice, heartrendingly deep
Surely will echo in all hearts
Of nights sleeping with the meaning of happiness unknown...

Beyond the yet unknown dream
Ne, through the distant path
The two of us can go
To wind's town
