New Constellation
03:19
|
|||
Hey, what's that thing I can't remember?
How did I get so far off center?
It's a fractured view through faulty lenses
What do you trust when you can't trust your senses
But I can fly through the heavens on the power of my heart
And thread my way through a string of stars
To write your name in a new constellation
Declare my love to all creation
I need to see the milky way
No city lights, no smoky haze
Just a speck on a speck on a spiral arm
It feels so good to be so small
And I can fly through the heavens on the power of my heart
And thread my way through a string of stars
To write your name in a new constellation
Declare my love to all creation
In darkness it gathers
In sunlight it scatters
My sorrow's contagious
I've tested your patience
Saint Dymphna, Cecilia
Saint Margaret, Christina
We've no faith but hear us
Saint Drogo, Saint Vitus
What's that thing I can't remember….
But I can fly through the heavens on the power of my heart
And thread my way through a string of stars
To write your name in a new constellation
Declare my love to all creation

California Wasted
03:49
|
|||
No time, where did the time go?
What was I thinking?
No compass, no maps
No sail on the mast
And this boat is sinking
We're going down
There's too much in my head right now
I've got no way to slow it down
And no one's gonna pull me out
But I still make the same mistakes
California's wasted on me
I'll stare at the sun
Let the fire fill my eyes
See nothing but light
An endless day
To banish the night
I could set this right
But there's too much in my head right now
I've got no way to slow it down
And no one's gonna pull me out
But I still make the same mistakes
California's wasted on me
On the line where the ocean meets the sky
I've been hoping I could see a sign,
Hoping I could see a sign
There's too much in my head right now
I've got no way to slow it down
And no one's gonna pull me out
And I still make the same mistakes
California's wasted on me
I still make the same mistakes
I'm wasted out in California
I'm too much in my head right now
California's wasted on me

The Moment
04:06
|
|||
Shame doesn't become you
There are no mistakes in the final view
No blame, how could it be so wrong
That your heart was braver than your will was strong?
For every path you follow there's another left behind
Every door you don't kick open there's a million more to try
And for everything you've taught me here's the one I've learned the best
There is nothing but the moment
Don't you waste it on regret
I'll go, but who will you have to be
Will you just get by or get what you need
Just know that I don't need to fit in
But is there room for you in your life with him?
For every path you follow there's another left behind
Every door you don't kick open there's a million more to try
And for everything you've taught me here's the one I've learned the best
There is nothing but the moment
Don't you waste it on regret
It's out of my hands, out of my hands
But I miss my friend, I miss my friend
So this is the price of honesty
But I'm not sorry
For every path you follow there's another left behind
Every door you don't kick open there's a million more to try
And for everything you've taught me here's the one I've learned the best
There is nothing but the moment
Don't you waste it on regret
The moment is happening now
The moment is passing
How could it be so wrong?

Rare Bird
04:22
|
|||
I talk too much, I always do
'Til sense is lost along with truth
Your silence is the harmony
To every word I truly mean
Your mind is like a rare bird
Flying high above the cold world
Slow dancing in the thermals
Singing songs no one's ever heard
So why'd they want to cage you?
Clip wings and try to tame you
You were meant to be free
Through state of fugue and breach of trust
I see you new again my love
You hold so much so gracefully
From miracle to tragedy
Your mind is like a rare bird
Flying high above the cold world
Slow dancing in the thermals
Singing songs no one's ever heard
So why'd he want to cage you?
Clip wings and try to tame you
You were meant to be free
Some shine brighter than the sun
Too brilliant to gaze upon
And rarer than rhodium
Hear me, wherever you are tonight
You better be flying high
You'd better be flying high
Your mind is like a rare bird
Flying high above the cold world
Slow dancing in the thermals
Singing songs no one's ever heard
So why'd I want to cage you?
Clip wings and try to tame you
You were meant to be free

I'll Bet on You
03:46
|
|||
Hey, yeah
Ready for the big rain
Hey, yeah
Everything will change in an instant
Slowly the waters rise around you
Quickly, so much washed away
We've all been hurt
It's nothing new
Just bet on me
'Cause I'll bet on you
Hey, yeah
Fire in the canyon
Take what you can
Barely time to get away
You showed me when all you have is ashes
Somehow something still remains
We've all been hurt
It's nothing new
Just bet on me
'Cause I'll bet on you
It's no-one's fault
I'll tell you true
Just bet on me
'Cause I'll bet on you

Golden Age
04:40
|
|||
A decade in the wilderness
How'd we ever come to this
Took all we had to just survive
No time left for asking why
Saint Virginia saved your life
An angel and a kitchen knife
When the devil tests your will
You kill who you have to kill
God loves a madman
But I wore his patience through
It's too much to ask of anyone
I could never be as strong as you
I could never be as strong as you
All we are is vanity
Comics playing tragedy
I traded in my sanity
For a dream that soon abandoned me
God loves a madman
But I wore his patience through
It's too much to ask of anyone
I could never be as strong as you
Walls and barricades surround our golden age
We will return again
Some day

Get What You Want
03:19
|
|||
Shout up at the sky
In tatters, in tatters
See no use in trying
But it matters, it matters
Spare a little prayer for the broken hearted
How did he feel just being discarded?
But it felt so good to get what you wanted
Hey hey, you're finally free
It's a new day, you're just where you wanted to be
Hey hey, you're finally free
You got what you wanted, you forgot what you need
Each and every one
We want more, we want more
But if we quit when it gets hard
Then what is love for, what is love for?
Blow a little kiss to the innocent
Throw a little bird to the ones you left
Oh it feels so good until it hits you back
You weren't the first, won't be the last
Hey hey, you're finally free
It's a new day, you just where you wanted to be
Hey hey, you're finally free
And it's so strange, it's not like you thought it would be
Hey hey, you're finally free
It's a new day, you just where you want to be
Hey hey, you're finally free
You got what you want now, you forgot what you need
You get what you want, get what you want
You forgot what you need

A swarm of senses, a shatterstorm
Tangled threads to weave a world
We build defenses and call them homes
Each alive, alert, alone
Is there anyone, is there anyone out there?
Is there anyone, is there anyone out there?
'Cause I don't know how to reach across the breach
So deep between us
Is there anyone, is there anyone out there
Who feels the way I do?
Uncertain language, imperfect words
How can we expect to speak the truth
I need you closer
I need you still
No matter how I seem to disappear from you
Is there anyone, is there anyone out there?
Is there anyone, is there anyone out there? I'm calling
I don't know how to reach across the breach so deep between us
Is there anyone, is there anyone out there
Who feels the way I do?
The world I've seems no-one could ever know
The same as every other one of seven billion souls
Is there anyone, is there anyone out there?
Is there anyone, is there anyone out there? I'm calling
I don't know how to reach across the breach so deep between us
Is there anyone, is there anyone out there
Who feels the way I do?

Life is Beautiful
03:22
|
|||
Come wake me up
I have been asleep too long
And I pray, I pray it's time
The storm is blowing over
It's safe to go outside
Life is beautiful, beautiful
I could never imagine turning it away
Love will make you weak
Make you hungry
It'll make you need someone
Who'll break your trust
And call you out
But we never get enough
Life is beautiful, beautiful
Don't you ever surrender to the voices in your head
Life is beautiful, beautiful
I could never imagine i turned away

The Eye
04:28
|
|||
We're finally learning to fight
We take to it well
'Til we are pure potential
Imaginal cells
You always were a wild one
You like to bend the rules
But baby when the time comes
I might surprise you too
You laugh like nothing can touch you
The skies might open above you
And the rain pours down and the wind whips high
This love is a hurricane
You are the eye
I can't make a connection
You don't trust it to hold
So we cling to each other
Through the battering storm
Pain passes but slowly
And pleasure gone too soon
A copper manzanita
We have to burn to bloom
You laugh like nothing can touch you
The skies might open above you
And the rain pours down and the wind whips high
This love is a hurricane
You are the eye
I'll stop telling you what you want to hear
Stop waiting for me to arrive
We keep ripping apart the atmosphere
But the change is what keeps us alive
You laugh like nothing can touch you
The skies might open above you
And when the rain pours down and the wind whips high
This love is a hurricane
You are the eye

Enough
06:05
|

Missing time
We killed the night
But I didn't want to go
I didn't want to go
Back in to that light
Chemicals
Cloud around the hall
Sting your pure eyes
But it's sweeter than you know
It's sweeter than you know
Impossible
The day is short
The task is great
And I am idle
The day is short
The task is great
And I am idle
The mind is willing but the body resists
The fight is over but the pain persists
Tell me when I've had enough
Oh tell me when I've had enough
I've had enough
I've had enough
The day is short
The task is great
And I am idle
