Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
I've got, I've got miles to go before I sleep
I cannot sleep
I've got, I've got miles to go before I sleep
I cannot sleep
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep
I've got, I've got miles to go before I sleep
I cannot sleep
I've got, I've got miles to go before I sleep
I cannot sleep
Lovely dark and deep
Lovely dark and deep

Lonely worlds
I'm floating in lonely worlds
And yet I find an aperture
Of light above me
Effervescence
I thought that I had learned my lessons
My breath always escapes me
Under the sea
Drowning
Euphoria
Am I this scenes Ophelia?
It wraps my brain in tingling warmth
And I'm transformed
I never dreamed
That drowning could be
Such a day dream
Admidst the sea bream
The darkness it grows
The water's enclosed me
That's it, I suppose
My heart beats so slow

Demons

I dreamed I'm a Seraph standing on a plateau
I look from the cliffside to the boulders below
I see flocks of demons circling their prey
And I thought I would try to save the day
Now I'm falling so quickly and my wings are gone I might not survive this but I'll carry on
Sometimes love, you can't fight your demons
They just float away, just float away
And sometimes love, a lovely dream ends
Doesn't mean you can't stay
Baby just stay, don't go away
I look in the mirror so maybe I'll see
What is this problem inside of me?
I'm looking far back now
To many years ago
Was I supposed to see this?
Was I supposed to know?
Sometimes love, you can't fight your demons
They just float away, just float away
And sometimes love, a lovely dream ends
Doesn't mean you can't stay
Baby just stay, don't go away
I look to the future creased on my palm
Where is my comfort? Should I recite a psalm
Of Kings and serpents who will save the day?
I might not survive this, but I thought I'd stay
Sometimes love, you can't fight your demons
They just float away, just float away
And sometimes love, a lovely dream ends
Doesn't mean you can't stay
Baby just stay
Sometimes love, you can't fight your demons
They just float away, just float away
And sometimes love, a lovely dream ends
You just lie awake with what you can take away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
