"The Last One I Love" - written and copyrighted by David condos
I woke up with a weakness / And she held me when she needed / But with arms like gusts of wind / Although forceful, they’re still fleeting / I might as well be deaf / If it’s just air that is passing off your lips / But if there’s meaning to your breath / Then we’re not dead, just sleeping / And if we awaken / Then when we’re aged / And in the one we’ve become / Then when my air stills / And I am taken / You’ll be the last one I love / Forethought floats off from my head / Like smoke from a burning building / Into the wind you can’t collect / It needn’t go far to be gone / Oh, to keep me in your head / And to be a thought amongst the rest of yours / And hold your memory out of bed / For she’s too content to dream it / But if we wake her / Then when we’re aged / And in the one we’ve become / Then when my air stills / And I am taken / You’ll be the last one I love / May I be never able to say my love for you is cold / May a wind reaching out of you say that sleep has all control / But if we awaken / Then when we’re aged / And in the one we’ve become / Then when my air stills / And I am taken / You’ll be the last one I love

"Permanent" - written and copyrighted by David Condos
I’ve heard it before / I’ll let you tell it again / Just to hear the sound of your voice / Over this cold, cold wire / So hold the phone / Where I wish I could get / Hold it right up to your cheek / And that’s as close as I’ll be / So lie down for the night / And wait for morning light / When all you ever want / Will find its way to you through the morning fog / And all I ever was / Will disappear in the fire of the sun / I’ve seen it before / I don’t need you / I can watch it all unfold if I like / Here in my cold, cold mind / Like it or not / The sun still shines at night / When you’re closing your eyes / It’s on the other side / So trust the setting sun / And wait for dawn to come / When all you ever want / Will find its way to you through the morning fog / And all I ever was / Will disappear in the fire of the sun / Just like I never was / Just like I never was permanent

"I Should Be Lost Without You" - written and copyrighted by David Condos
I fight enough with myself / I give it up when you’re not here / I’ve lost your touch / And I need to feel / I feel I’m watching myself / From high up above the consequence / It shouldn’t take hurt / To make me feel / I should be lost without you / I should be lost without you / Am I so comfortable with me? / I want to see in your heart / But I’ll settle for the mystery / I’ve spent all my time avoiding this / I want to know what I want / And I envy you for not knowing what I wanted to say / I should be lost without you / I should be lost without you / Am I so comfortable with me? / I should be lost without you / I should be lost without you / When I can’t hear a word you speak / I’ve fallen enough / I should be lost without you / I should be lost without you / Am I so comfortable with me? / I should be lost without you

"Keep Your Hand On The Door" - written and copyrighted by David Condos
His heart is divided / And his blood can’t help but spill / The tale would make you cry, dear / That one drop could tell / Don’t let him in, child / He’ll only let you down / Don’t let him in / Just you stay in your skin / Keep your hand on the door / And remember he’s down / His fear could take him out of here / But he’s lost / Oh, is he lost or one hard sell? / He’s been in other houses / And their warmth / But they’re no homes / A heart can tell / Don’t let him in, child / He’ll only let you down / Don’t let him in / Just you stay in your skin / Keep your hand on the door / Don’t let him in / Just you keep your light dim / If he’s pounding the floor / Turn your head and ignore that he’s down

"Lullaby For A Ghost" - written and copyrighted by David Condos
You’re just the ghost in the next room / That taps on the wall when I’m trying to sleep / You should be out haunting young fools / Who are more inclined to believe / Now close your eyes / Before the night turns to day / And hear a lullaby sung for a wraith / Love, I can see you now / With a trembling mouth / I won’t leave you now / I was a bough veiled in your yellow / But even the most ravishing leaf / Can only be held for a season / No matter how sincere the tree / Favored I am to have eyed you in red / Inspiring a lullaby sung for the dead / Love, I can see you now / With your eyelids down / Don’t leave me now

"The Ache" - written and copyrighted by David Condos
Looking back, I see the heart before the ache / Where did it come from? / Why did it break? / Look around, I see the walls about to cave / As they crumble in / I wish that I could stay / Far away from everything / And you’d be there / And you’d be there / Look inside, you’ll see it’s not the way I say / When I fall apart so easily / But I look at you and I say this could be the day / They’re only words / But they’ll make me stay / Far away from everything / And you’d be there / And you’d be there / When I say my line / You can hear the words you like / And forgive me for the rest / You know I try / To say my line / But it’s a losing fight / I forget that there’s a chance / That you’re on my side / Looking now, I see the heart before the ache / Why does it have to come? / Why must it be this way?

"Right Where It Belongs" - written and copyrighted by David Condos
Give it up / Let it wander / It’ll end up safe at home / Right where it belongs / Call it lost / And you will find it / Lying where you don’t expect / But right where it belongs / Love can make decisions / Love can make them last / Love can leave you with them / And it looks like it has

"Smoking City" - written and copyrighted by David Condos
I don’t want to need you here / But I’m not in control / We are all at the mercy of a situation / I don’t feel it like I used to / But I don’t want for you to know / Famine follows all our fortune / Watch it go / Oh Lord, watch it go / The town is full of enemies / And we all have our share / But if my fault was trying to please / You had to know I care / All our thoughts are uninspired / The city burns itself to smoke / Warm your body in the fire / And watch the glow / Oh Lord, watch you glow

"When The Land Becomes The Sea" - written and copyrighted by David Condos
Rain if you want to, darling / Heaven drips of your soul / Speak in a glorious tongue that I don’t know / Let me drink your inflection / The rise and fall of your tone / A venom that empties me 'til I follow / Your presence is sweeter than the words could ever be / So breathe in and breathe out / And that’s music to me / The clouds are getting heavy / Like we’ve never seen rain before / But if there were no storms then we’d see no things grow / So let us plant our bodies / Where we want to call our home / And lay on this ground 'til it’s the ocean floor / I don’t want there to be doubt / When the land becomes the sea / I’ll breathe in and I’ll drown / As you’re surrounding me

"You Are A Vision" - written and copyrighted by David Condos
You are a vision / A sight of the kind that mends all incisions and reclaims the blind / They won’t remember their former defects / And if I was ever so crippled, you made me forget / For I have seen the wonder and the weight of the world / In the black of your eye / You are a child of heaven, of God / I am a vile, poor wretch for your love / We won’t discover what God won’t allow / But if I’m to ever be blessed, please let it be now / For I have seen the weight and the wonder of the whole world / In the black of your eye / You’re the sun and I’m the moon / So if I seem bright / I’m just reflecting your light / We share the same sky / Just not at the same time
