This is the end
Long before it began
And by this time you would figure
That you would be here
You’re gone
Thought it’d be great
We both could undertake
A life change transition
Metamorphose into one
Could this just be a phase?
Or could these be my last days
Here in this place?
Dodging all these moments
Perfect in fear
This life a dream that much is clear
CHORUS:
Cause I never would’ve thought
Never would’ve thought
Today we can dance
Like before it began
Completely caught off guard
By added element
Could this just be a phase?
Or could these be my last days
Here in this place?
Dodging all these moments
Perfect in fear
This life a dream that much is clear
CHORUS
We were doomed to end since the beginning
But we’re still here
Commence the finish
Termination is near
This life a dream that much is clear
CHORUS

Duality
03:51
|
|||
|
Lately, my mind’s been in constant duality
Finding ways to fulfill my destiny
One voice says that music’s the only way
Then another says to turn away
CHORUS:
But if you took it away from me
I’d go up to the highest mountain and say
You stole my freedom
You no good son of a
You took the only thing that really mattered, yeah
Failing’s always been my constant enemy
When I’d feel like quitting before I begun
But if I took a step forward instead of back
Maybe then I’d find peace in my song

Unsettled
03:59
|
|||
|
I want to run around in your dreams
I want to pepper your day-to-day
I want to never leave your side
I need you need you
Here always
CHORUS:
Cause it’s like a heartbeat without rhythm
Or a crazy horse untied
You got me all unsettled
You got me all unsettled
I want to wake up to the sound of your voice
I can’t shake you
You pepper my day today
You touch I quiver
Never leave my side
CHORUS
You got me
You got me

Naissance

One can wonder about how you left
But true beauty is found in how you lived
World won’t be the same with you gone
In our hearts, my friend, you live on
My voice calls with the breeze
My hand waves in the rustling leaves
Countless people that you’ve been there for
Resurrect you with the smiles you bring
Feel my love swell like the ocean
Feel my strength rooted deep in the earth
World won’t be the same with you gone
In our hearts, my friend, you live on
See this emptiness can’t be ignored
But instead is filled by your memory
My eyes shine throughout night and day
My smile remains for you always
My eyes shine throughout night and day
My smile remains for you always

Travesty
04:46
|

|
She walked out on the ledge and said
“This life ain’t meant for me.”
Her hair whipped behind her fingertips
Her eyes far beyond her means
He gathered right beside her and
Whispered into her soul
“Suicide” is what they called him
And he yearned for her
Painted wings of solace
Picked her up and said
“Come with me…
CHORUS:
Leave this hell in search of heaven
Seek truth from the travesty that this life was meant to bring
And when we’re there
We’ll bathe in light and drink in its beauty!”
She walked out on the ledge and said
“This life ain’t meant for me.”
Her hair whipped behind her fingertips
Her eyes far beyond her means
Flash forward to the moment when
She knelt down to pray
Asking for the wings of solace
To pick her up and fly
High into the heavens
So that she could ask
“Where were you, when…
I left this hell in search of heaven?
Seeked truth from the travesty that this life was meant to bring?
When I came, where was your light and all of its beauty?
I left this hell in search of heaven!
Seeked truth from the travesty that this life was meant to bring
When I came, where was your light and all of its beauty?
Where was your light and all of its beauty!"

Seizure
03:06
|
|||
|
All these forces pull me apart
This paranoia grips my heart
A storm of headache and distress
Why can't I be like the rest?
I hear the echo of your voice
Tell you ''stop" but have no choice
Crazy or punished by Him
My brain is broken for my sins
Feel the current wash over me
Push it away, just let me be
Finally, can't fight anymore
Close my eyes and fall to the floor
I cannot read, I cannot speak
The bastard seizure reached its peak
Came and went, a rolling stone
Left me sweaty, empty, alone

Not the Way
04:08
|
|||
|
CHORUS:
Fifteen years hungry on the street
Fund the bomb
Not the way to feed
Future in fear why can’t they see
Last word
Not the way to peace
Big hand slaps
The other throws a punch
One stabbing knife
The other pulls a gun
We drop the bomb
Devastate everyone
That’s not how it’s meant to be
Fifteen years hungry on the street
Fund the bomb
Not the way to feed
Rob from the blood-thirsty
Give to the life-hungry
Perpetuate the pulse of a global heartbeat
That’s how it’s meant to be
CHORUS
May I suggest
That we just rest…?
Perhaps it’d be best
If we just rest
In peace
CHORUS

Spotlight
03:41
|
|||
|
Spotlight, the listeners await as he takes the stage
With songs bottled deep down, handmade by life and struggles that tear him apart
A long breath, the world stands still
For sung words taken like a pill with water poured out full of love
Poured out full of love
What would they do tomorrow if they didn’t know it?
What would they do today differently?
Release the load and move beyond yesterday
Dim light, the world goes home, hearts lighter no longer cold as stone
But there he sits all alone, empty from all that he gave
A drop of it could not be saved for him so he sat down and prayed for an answer
To fill his heart with love, fill his heart with love
But what would he do tomorrow if he didn’t know it?
What would he do today differently?
Release the load and move beyond yesterday
What would we do tomorrow if we didn’t know it?
What would we do today differently
Release the load and move beyond yesterday

Better Late
05:46
|
|||
|
Crazy is the standard of today
Madness has become the newest cliché
With commerce as the backbone
And greed to move our feet
And now we’ve tripped into the next thing
Life was once the standard of the day
Now most rot in the material plane
With art on the backburner and
Makeup in the microwave
How can a world full of flavor
Be so painfully bland?
CHORUS:
What should we do?
Redefine value
Satiate the inner you
Let the music move you
It’s better late
It’s better late than never
It’s better late
It’s better late
To purify this polluted stream
Leave our suits on the bank-side
Let our souls get swept away
We’ll empty out into the ocean
And rise up under the rays of the sun
CHORUS

Let Me In
04:44
|
|||
|
When I came home last night you didn’t have much to say
Left the dinner on the table silently
I thought – “hey, why the long face?
Why the absence of a heart once filled with life?”
So I gave you some space, maybe you needed time
Time turned into days, turned into melodies of mine
All I ever really wanted was to be inside
Was it too much to ask to…
CHORUS:
Let me in
Find a way
Let me in
Find a way
I tried again today, asked what weighs heavy on your heart
Why you chose a path and walked before I could start?
All you did was look at me with pain in your eyes
So hard to stand aside, please…
CHORUS
Ooh…
CHORUS
Let me in
(All the answers lay beyond the palm of your hand)
Find a way
(Ask me to, I’ll be there, I will help you stand)
Let me in
(All I ever really wanted was to be inside)
Find a way
(Was it too much to ask to...?)

Welcome Home
03:30
|
|||
|
Before you I was empty
Past was a fog
My future unclear
But you covered me in understanding
I found security in your unwavering love
A perfect union transcended
Once the two of us became three
Bound by your everything
Kept warm by your light
In your embrace we could weather any storm
But when your sun went down
I knew it’d come around again
I will always be your baby
And you’ll always be my blanket
You will always be my long-stemmed beauty
Forever here
You’re a part of me
God knows I’ll never be ready
To let you go
They say that it’s where the heart is
So with open arms
I tell you
Welcome home
Cause when your sun went down
I knew it’d come around
Can’t wait to see you smile
Again

Gravity
08:29
|
|||
|
Head up above the rim
Of the hole he found himself in
Grains of sand clutching at his ankles
Tugging on the lack of faith
Pondering
How did it come to this?
What once was boundless
Collapsed under the force
Gravity
All this time that is spent
Afraid if he could
Not knowing he can
Trodding on a path without light
So scared to fail
Not daring to try
Feel the weight of this imagined load
Hours in its bondage he had dwelled
Then it appeared, a warm sweet light
It sang to him
Made this path quite clear
Awakening
Happy with what it is
Instead of fearing what it ain’t
So we’ll live life moment by moment
CHORUS:
Gravity subsides
I resume my life
Without fear take flight
Gravity
Soaring high
Boundless
Free to try, to dare, to seek
Guarded heart now open wide
It sang to him
Made this path quite clear
Head up
Beyond the atmosphere
Way up here
Becomes so clear
Once a slave of himself
Freed from a past aground
The cause of his...
Awakening
Happy with what it is
Instead of fearing what it ain’t
So we’ll live life moment by moment
CHORUS
He watched the doves glide
And saw love retreat
Above the sun rose high
But his feet would never leave
One the other side
The moon smiled serene
As he reached up to the sky
CHORUS
