Fantasy

Do you think it was wrong
Do you think it was meant to be
When you played along
Orchestrating your fantasy
The shadows aligned
Creating an opening
And you went inside
Sinking below the stream
Come show yourself
Step in the light
Don't sell your soul
We'll make this right
Do you think it was wrong
Do you think it was meant to be
When you went down the line
Accessing everyone's memories
You planted a seed
Made of idiosyncrasies
And you cut down a tree
Made of monotony
Come show yourself
Step in the light
Don't sell your soul
We'll make this right
When the painting is done
You walk among the trees
And the shadows align
But you can't find the opening
You're looking to find
A glance of infinity
But something is wrong
It's all just a fantasy
Come show yourself
Step in the light
Don't sell your soul
We'll make this right

Free
03:49
|
|||
|
Falling so far behind
Far from the chosen line
Lost in a valley deep
Surrounded by hills so steep
But I'm free
To make the climb
But I'm free
To make it mine
Alone

Drift Away
03:47
|
|||
|
Found an old book yesterday
Written by a stranger of the same name
I try to gather up my thoughts
But my mind walks off the page
Drift away
Fifteen years beneath the floors
When you were mine and I was yours
All those years they come and go
All those years have nothing to show
Drift away
I found an old book yesterday
About how our time is going to waste
I looked the author in the eyes
Then I thanked him for his haste
Drift away

Judgement Day
04:32
|
|||
|
With thorns in my side I will subside with your price to pay
with smoke in my eyes I will confide in your judgement day
And I know something's missing
Take me there
Show me where
And I know that you're hiding
Talk to me
Trust in me
With thorns in your side your defenses grow a taste for lies
With smoke in your eyes you become the one that you despise
And I know something's missing
Take me there
Show me where
And I know that you're hiding
Talk to me
Trust in me
The stars in your sky guide you to the path from where you came
One look in your eyes, I can tell it's true that we're the same
And I know something's missing
Take me there
Show me where
And I know that you're hiding
Talk to me
Trust in me

Your Gaze
02:44
|
|||
|
I'm walking on fires that you left burning
You're gliding too high while the world keeps turning
Somehow I knew the price you demand is the price that you pay
I'm running on smiles that you cast on me
I'm lost in the aisles of your library
Somehow I knew the price you demand is the price that you pay
My city is being washed away by your waves
My pity is being washed away by your gaze

Far Above
02:56
|
|||
|
Bright lights in the distance
Neon signs with some missing letters
I ride to the limits
Nothing to find but I hope for better
The colors flood into my eyes from far above
Bright signs on the corner
Faded lines on the streets where I walk
Long lines to the doorway
Good times sold at the counter
I'm aching with boredom
I need something to take me away from myself
I'm patient with progress
But if you can have it now, why would you turn it down?
The colors flood into my eyes from far above
I've bought into the lies of unrequited love
The colors flood into my eyes from far above

Winter Buds
04:06
|
|||
|
Winter buds have swollen on the plain
The sun is coming out to ease my pain
I listen well for the mountains that call my name
But all the roads go back to where I came
My seasons ache with envy
I think about you every day
I've come so far to find you
Won't you come and take me away
Someone said they knew the look of your face
Someone said they saw you yesterday
Someone wrote your name on the side of a train
Every time I turn you're a step away
My seasons ache with envy
I think about you every day
I've come so far to find you
Won't you come and take me away
Won't you come and take me away
Won't you come and take me away
Take me away

Chaos
03:36
|
|||
|
All my life I've been searching for something to
Find the image, take the picture, find the point of view
Find the subject set the focus, make it all make sense
Set the rhythm, write the changes, let the song commence
I didn't get what I wanted, all of the colors collided, all of the walls caved in and nobody had any answers, I was alone and I started running, searching, calling, hearing, turning, burning, disillusioned, disappointed
I was chasing the sunsets and running out of time
Walking the trails and falling out of line
Searching the shelves for some exotic wine
But this cupful of chaos will do just fine
Let it shine
Shine
Watching the clouds drifting around
The path was nowhere to be found
Disorder before my eyes
That's when I realized
If it is nowhere then it's to be found
I was chasing the sunsets and running out of time
Walking the trails and falling out of line
Searching the shelves for some exotic wine
But this cupful of chaos will do just fine
Let it shine
Shine

Final Day
03:52
|
|||
|
I see it now as I once did before
In sunken dreams it chilled me to my core
Then I would wake and go about my way
But now I see that this is my last day
One last refrain to sing your favorite song
One last escape to see it as if nothing were wrong
One last repent for everything will stay
Just as it is this final day
Just as it is this final day

Another Day
03:23
|
|||
|
Another dawn, another day
Another chance to get away
I feel it once, I feel it twice
I think it's wrong, I know it's right
I'm drawing from a sea of truth
That I have poured myself into
And every day I just can't help but feel its weight
Let it go
You'll never see, you'll never know
You'll never learn, you'll never let it go
I'm feeling weak, I know I'm strong
I'll take my chance before it's gone
I'm building all these things for you
So you can live and I'll pull through
And when I leave just find it in yourself to try
Let it go
So here we are in darker days
Riding the crests of breaking waves
The fading stars, the rising sun
Another day has just begun
