Are you in a place
Where no one knows
How bright the light
Inside of you glows?
I’ve been lost at sea
Floating off alone
You were born to be
My way back home
All of your light’s shining
Watching your sun rising
The darkness is only in your mind
There is no night
You are who you were meant to be.
You’ve been fighting
Since the day you were born
Pathways lighting
To guide you back home
And you’ve been racing
Yet your soul isn’t worn
Engines firing
To guide you back home
All of your light’s shining
Watching your sun rising
The darkness is only in your mind
It’ll be alright
You are who you were meant to be.

Beg, Steal & Borrow
02:15
|
|||
|
There ain’t no road
I wouldn’t travel
There ain’t no riddle
I couldn’t unravel
...and from the time that you wake till the time that you rest
I will give you all of the love in my chest
I will beg, steal & borrow for only you.
There ain’t no island
I wouldn’t swim to
No temptation
I could give into
...I’ll give you what’s mine for all of my time
I would hand you the sun just to give you its shine
I will beg, steal & borrow for only you.
You know darling
You know I would die
Because we only have so much time
If you’d only let me do
The things that I want to
I would beg, steal, & borrow for only you.
I would beg, steal & borrow
Walk backwards from tomorrow
I would beg, steal & borrow for only you.

And the time was strange
Yeah it paused and turned
And the fire raged and
I just burned.
On the window panes
The rain found its home
To be made of love and
Not of stone.
I heard he was dying
Off somewhere new
A fade to gray that I
Trade for blue.
A crooked spin
To get caught in
A finish line where
The loss begins.
Alarms went off
Inside my head
‘cause dreams wake up when
The sleep is dead.
The fire died
And smoke filled my heart.
And time overflowed and
Left me burned and scarred.
Yeah the fire died
And all went dim.
The saddest song about
A godless hymn.
Yeah a darkness gone from
A light within.
A loneliness
Where my love begins.

Missouri
04:19

The past is the ghost that haunts me babe,
Nothing I can do but to be enslaved,
I heard you were traveling across state lines,
Now I got nothing, nothing but time.
Set my love free so it never ends,
Just blows right to you in Missouri winds,
Trying to remember just what I miss,
You’re forgetting it all in St. Louis.
Are we the sum of all that we’ve known?
Perfecting the parts that we’ve made our own,
The greatest love is waiting on the tip of my tongue,
A parlor trick, been playing it, since I was young.
I don’t think I’ll ever leave this place,
You’re not sure you want to come back this way,
Lovely loneliness make me your own,
River road ramble carry me home.
Oh my dear you won’t be gone for long,
I’ll be right here like a stone,
It’s all in my mind.
And oh my love what are you dreaming of?
I’ve been asleep so long,
It’s all in my mind.
Oh you know they say you just got to wait….for a sign.
Oh you know they say you just got to wait….for a sign.
Just know you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life.
Oh you know they say I just got to wait…for a sign.
The past is the ghost that haunts me babe,
Nothing I can do but to be enslaved,
Lovely loneliness make me your own,
River road ramble carry me home.

Five Six Seven Eight
03:00

Well the loveliest thing that I ever did see
Was a young man dreaming of what he could be
He was searching for love, he was searching for gold
He was waiting for life to fill up his soul...
And it’s a 1,2,3,4 time is knocking on your door and you should not turn it away
And it’s a 5,6,7,8 don’t you dare believe in fate if it is not with you today
Well the loneliest thing that I ever did see
Was an old man crying in misery
He had found all the gold, he had bought lots of things
But he never had a love or a family... (but he had nice things)
And it’s a 1,2,3,4 time is kicking down your door and you cannot turn it away
And it’s a 5,6,7,8 don’t you dare believe in fate if it is not with you today.

Waking The Truth
02:06
|
|||
|
I was waking the truth
I was dreaming of you
I was thinking that I may not know what to do.
I get frightened by time
I get lost in my mind
I get found stumbling ‘round the proverbial line.
Oh yellow my heart
As green is my mind
True blue is the hue that my love has designed.
I get inspired by death
So I draw all my breaths
And I wander to ponder how much I have left.

Entropy
02:27
|

|
Oh things are changing
Moving way to fast for me
And oh ain’t it strange when
Pass the things thought meant to be.
And yeah, yeah I hear it calling
Hear it calling out my name
And yeah I feel it clawing
Feel it gnawing on my brain
What a wretched, wonderful pain.
Oh how I’m pacing
Racing faster than before
And oh how I’m chasing
Knowing nothing ever leads to more.
And yeah yeah I see it falling
See it falling to the floor
And yeah how I am crawling
To pick it up once more
What a beautifully, sickening cure.

The End Of Everything
06:05
|
|||
|
Nothing really matters to you,
Nothing really matters to me,
Isn’t it something the end of everything.
Anything is something the end of everything.
All you know of love
You heard it from a friend
And your train of thought last night
Comes barreling towards the light
You go floating high above
Only to descend
To the place you always land
The end of everything.
Put on your black dress
Is it me you’re thinking of?
‘Cause the big drum is drumming
To the calm ocean humming
And we’re going to make a mess
Of everything we love
‘cause the world is caving in
It’s the end of everything.
We’re polishing our bright new shiny masks
Trading in our character for cash
Nothing here will last.
To hell with what I know
I don’t know what to believe
It’s the final curtain call
Of all the things I was before
And the light inside will glow
Until there’s nothing left to leave
What will be has always been
It’s the end of everything.
Perfect worn out hearts
Shining bankrupt dreams
Are pulling us all
Into endless black holes
Where the heartache starts
The beauty can be seen
Grab all that you can bring
It’s the end of everything.
We’re polishing our bright new shiny masks
Trading in our character for cash
Nothing here will last.

I'm Gray
03:18
|
|||
|
I want to be fed the greatest lie, the greatest lie of all mankind
And when I die I want to be known as the only fool to not know why
The skies, the trees, the dirt, the breeze
And everything that lies between.
Fee to believe, we’ll never know why
See to believe, I’ll never know why...
I'm gray in the...shade of your love
I want to see the hurricanes, the darkest pain, the hardest rain
And when I live I want to be known as the only fool that never did
Find a truth, define myself, cut out my heart to spite my health
Bound to leave, we’ll never know why
Bound to grieve, I’ll never know why...
I'm gray in the...shade of your love
I'm gray in the...shade of your love
And oh my dear
What I think of
And oh my love
What’s brought us here...
I'm gray in the...shade of your love
I'm gray in the...shade of your love

Alpha & Omega
03:38
|
|||
|
Oblivion, I am not my name, I am not anything.
Oh let it save you, the alpha and omega, it’ll make you everything.
Oh to make a change, just to stay the same, the vast beautiful nothing.
It’s a great escape, it’s a holiday, this life ain’t it something.

Red Ring
03:20

Providence the name of my rifle
Have you heard the one about my last rival?
Enemy the opposite of me
You can drown in the fire or burn in the sea.
Red ring, red ring again
Like a halo around my head.
Red ring, red ring again
Like a halo around my head.
Give me a pen and a room painted gray
Nothing really matters but everything is great
Oblivion, hold the door for me
Who you love is all you own and who you love is free.
Red ring, red ring again
Like a halo around my head.
Red ring, red ring again
Like a halo around my head.
Providence the name of my bible
Have you heard the one about my last disciple?
Enemy the reflection of me
You can show a man the light, can’t teach him how to see.
Red ring, red ring again
Like a halo around my head.
Red ring, red ring again
Like a halo around my head.

A Thousand Pages
03:52
|
|||
|
I ruled like the king
I fell like the pawn
I came with the dusk
And left with the dawn
I wrote a million pages of my pain
Like a sun rising up after the rain
I’ve looked into the past
I thought about the end
Love is life you give
Not a slow death you lend
Retracing all my steps but my shoe size changed
It’s strange you rearrange your plans
To stay the same
Just as life is shadowed by death
I’m dying to live
Until I run out of breath
Escape into my mind where thoughts often fade
The love I thought I had was never really made
Came back from where it sent me
Caught a cursed kiss
I felt so far from empty
I started to miss
The loneliness that always made me stop and think
The world might look a little better when I drink
Even the fool can see
The worst part of you is me
Even the fool can see
The worst part of you is me
I ruled like the king
I fell like the pawn
I left with the dusk
And came with the dawn
I wrote a thousand pages
Of how I won
Like a father raising up
His first born son
A past picture blue
A future flooded gray
A present paint by numbers
13 birds of prey
It’s a backwards, complicated way to live
The end you receive is the beginning you give
|
||||
13. |

|
I forgot what I’m supposed to be
And who I thought I was
The truth we seek is the joke that we find
So I’m laughing just because
We’re free to think but slaves to time
With thoughts of promise and of doubt
Me and you were bound to fall in love
Don’t let the light go out
Hurry, hurry, hurry there’s something new
Here for you to bury inside of you
Worry, worry, worry if it’s all true
Is this all...that life means?
Where you go you know I’ll follow you
I’ll follow you into the fade
But I’m asleep and dying to wake up
In a bed that I have made
How far down the road we’ll go
Not one of us can tell
There’s a light somewhere there
And it’s got me in its spell
It’s the heart, the time and the pen
That keeps me coming back here again
Like the thunder, lightning, and the wind
The heart, the time, and the pen
Hurry, hurry, hurry there’s something new
Here for you to bury inside of you
Worry, worry, worry if it’s all true
Is this all...that life is?
