See underneath
Stay together
A flashing light
Pushes out and leads the hunger
You must decide
What’s real
I couldn’t bust out
Couldn’t bust out of here
I feel I lost the way
Crazy
Like a man who is lost in the desert sun
Look out
The barometer’s broken down
I’m stuck between lies
Still I’m stuck right here
My wheels slip on the rain
Crazy
Like a man who is soaked by a thunderstorm
Look out
The barometer’s broken down

Drive Away Fast
04:32
|
|||
|
Icons take the long road
Clutching golden idols
Our respectability
Resists our agility
Turn and wave there
Learn the weight
Letting go of hate
Fingers unwind
Hold them straight
Open palms touch Fate
One variation
Cannot compare
Quality making some sense
Terse explanation
Signals are there
The world behind you
Holds the past
Drive away, drive away fast
Hidden torch
Buried in sunlight
Turns to the wall
Of stone
Walk around the margins
Changing out your fortune
Our respectability
Clutching at our sanity

Like a beacon
Floating in the night
Lightens sometimes laughter freezing
While we fight
Like a shadow
Ghostly in the light
Touches something wider haunting
Reach new heights
Like a maze
The programmed ways we all pretend
Like a dream
Atmospheric ceiling above us all
Like the starlight
Watching in the haze
Chooses someone diamonds teaching
Stop and gaze
Like the songbirds
Sweetly in the rays
Carries somehow desperate rising
Swept away
Like a test
The borrowed quest we leave behind
Like a dream sweeping under its’ beams
Unconscious time
Pain can’t believe you care
Rising the starless land
Energy shooting there
Jewels are surprised
When they end up on your hands

The Night is Through
03:06
|

|
Gather in the possibilities
Put your engine to the ground
Drifting tight before
The night is through
Insufficient
Means that I’ll go
Screaming into
Another role
Lies won’t filter the faces
Stranger hearts keep alive
Elevate
Interface
Information
Has ceased to flow
Silent signals
Feel like a roar
Catch the limits of living
Strange intense energy

Farewell Odyssey
04:16
|
|||
|
Swallowed by the distance
On the sacred path
Closer to the barren view
I pass
The frozen night was fearsome
Cold and caves were cruel
Stripping all our minds and hearts
Of truth
Headed for the break of day
Crossing through the withered vines
Cannot mold my destiny
With seeds that long ago were dry
Sailed cross the ocean
Deadly was my goal
Closer to the end I loose
Control
I passed the deepest breakers
Thought of paradise
Closer to unending streams
Of lies
Tormented nightly madness
Know no resistance to sadness

Two-Parts Whole
03:54
|
|||
|
I felt so empty
Innocent afternoons
Chasing the light
I sometimes wonder
If I don’t get answers soon
Will I collide
With all the fear
All the rage
With laughter that is blind
With all the joy
And all the light around
I felt abandoned
Suddenly split in two
Wondering alone
I have demanded
Something that’s equal to
What I deserve

Shimmering Sanctuary
03:36
|
|||
|
A hundred kingly thoughts keep me reeling
A hundred queens keep my sane
My apprehension shows how I’m feeling
I fret and worry all in vain
A hundred princesses pass in Hades
A Prince will sing a mournful song
The night has came and went in the cities
The time for Hope is now gone
A time of sanctuary
A time of shimmering eyes
When sunlight is all gone
The servants will bow and rise
A hundred lords will grow more impatient
A hundred ladies pause and wait
Making laughing sounds mask their hatred
Passers-by stare ahead straight

Someday You May See
04:01
|
|||
|
Someday you may find
All along
You have been looking
Through someone’s disguise
Worn like a temple filled with lies
Someday years from now
It will seem
You have been holding
Tightly to a plan
Letting life’s gifts slip through your hands
There are silent things
That we know
Something beautiful
That builds and grows
Someday you may see
Every time
You have been thinking
That you’re overwhelmed
Hoping to crawl back in your shell
There are other sounds
That we hear
Something beautiful
That’s sweet and clear
