Run
Written by IVA
You feel the pull of dark on your window pane
You fear the cold start of every day
The quiet snow’s a reckoning
You hide in walls, imagine pain
Stepping out in the wide glistening
The dark is bright, beckoning
You rise to top the mile
It’s sweet, you stop, you smile
It’s all you need without the sun
Run, Run, Run ...
The north has a thousand names for snow
and it’s the place you wanna go
To feel the fire of everything
To feel as light as early spring
The trees they seem to know your name
They face the wind, the frozen rain
You move on, the road, down the street
Alone - the world at your feet
The moment everything is one
Run, Run, Run ...
Oh the silence can wait, make you feel you’re losing time
Oh the silence could break, make you feel you’ll lose your mind
Fear you’ll lose your mind
You run ...

Ghosts
written by IVA and Kyle Ryan
You faced the mirror and, in the moon, you see reflected
Your walk from room to room the light on his collection
His faded suitcase foreign journeys laid to rest
Nails from a shipwreck, an ivory tusk and a sailor’s map
You sit and wait alone for his door to open
His furniture is old and hard it should be broken
There’s something moving in the corner, maybe nothing
But with your childlike eyes you sees the pain that keeps these ghosts alive
And I was standing by the trees your father planted near the street
And when you think it’s time to leave, I will be waiting
Behind that heavy wall, the time you spent apart
And while the sickness washes clean his broken heart
He wonders what he did and wishes that he could
It was never perfect but somehow she made it good
But years ago she looked into that mirror and saw an ocean
And who knows what they did for love and for devotion
And now you’re back here trying to piece it all apart
And you don’t know what it will take to have to keep his ghosts alive
And they were standing by the trees your father planted near the street
And when he passes on the lea, they will be waiting
In your house I see you smiling in that picture that she kept
Throwing an airplane on a island somewhere west
Another of your family posed outside a summer house
And yeah, I know that you’re still trying to sort it out
But we can make the life we want and have them walking by our side
And as we take these steps together we will know the reason why
We keep these ghosts alive

Blue
Words and music by IVA
Additional music Jaron Olevsky
Blue is not the name that I gave you
Blue is the bright light in a northern sky
Blue is not the way I escaped you
Blue is just a name
Blue is just a name
Blue is just a name
Waking up all I found was a dream of you
The northern light streaming in my room
Only to find what I couldn't do
Was open up to thoughts of life with you
Blue is not the name, it's a breakthrough
Caught in the nick of time, only the truth will shine
Blue is not the way I escaped you
Blue
Blue
Blue
Cause these are places where we've lived and died
They will carry us away
It's all behind the mask that helped you suit the game you tried
Now there's no more time to play
Blue is not the name that I gave you
Blue is the bright light in the northern sky
Blue is not the way that I escaped you
Blue is just a name
Blue is just a name
Blue is just a name

Nobody’s Woman
written by IVA
I’m nobody’s woman
You’re everyone’s man
With a drink in your hand
I don’t understand
You brought us to ruin
And wrecked all our plans
Now I’m nobody’s woman
And your everyone’s man
You found me on Tinder
Told me who you are
I thought I was an angel
Here to sew up your scars
But this Mother Teresa
Is living a lie
I can’t touch the sickness
You’re feeling inside
And you don’t know the difference, I tried to do you right
But you just wake the devil, you whistle while I cry
And every disappointment, the love I thought I saw
I can’t erase the memory, I can’t erase the cause
Tried to damn up the river
When you’d drown out your shame
I just couldn’t help it
Now you’ve got me to blame
My days run on empty
And I see my ghost
I’m finding my answers
Where I need you the most
And you don’t know the difference, I tried
But you just wake the devil, you whistle while I cry
And I know no one’s perfect, but man, I gotta be
And now you know my secrets, you’ve seen the worst of me
I’m nobody’s woman
You’re everyone’s man
Still holding the bottle
Yeah, I understand
You know that I love you
But I need to breathe
I hope that I see you
When you get the answers you need
I’m nobody’s woman
I’m nobody’s woman
I’m nobody’s woman
