Body and Soul
03:29
|
|||
When I see myself after twenty years and I struggle to hold a pen
Convictions that meant the world never would again
And that same old man after thirty years unnerving battle to be set free
From familiar faces as his dreams get dragged to sea
Will I find a truth in the stories I've been told?
Stories bought not sold
What follows me down this long and winding road
Is my body and my soul
Now I see myself after forty years and I struggle just to say goodbye
Just as cynical but with a love I can't deny
Will the wisdom of just getting older bond with the fire of that younger man?
And recognize my place as I'm born again
Will I find a peace in the stories I've been told
Stories bought not sold
And what carries me down this long and winding road
Is my body and my soul
When I see myself after twenty years and I struggle to hold a pen
To scribe these words of sentience but I'm given the chance again

One Thousand Suns
03:06
|
|||
Sometimes when I wake up
There's something missing it's not enough
A belief that I have changed
Or just nostalgic for my younger days
Then you hear it in a certain song
The blood pumping the draw is strong
Then I realize that I was wrong
It's time that I return to where I belong
A thousand suns, a thousand rains
A thousand nights, one thousand days
A thousand lifetimes and I'll be here
Sometimes I wonder will I still fit in
I know that I must start but where to begin
Surrounded by friends and people who care
And if I go they'll still be there
In my darkest hour a light in me
Is a reminder of eternity
And when my number's called I'll persevere
Still standing strong after all these years

Sea and Earth
02:11
|

Life is the chance to connect the disconnected
A belief to help us find a way
Back to a peace of no more separation
Makes no difference where I am at end of day
A crushed heart that's felt by many
A red rose that's bled to dry
Amass the sales of sentiment
Of lonely nations hung up on pride
I live my life without the fear of contradiction
That's when the healing begins
Liberate myself from a soul in isolation
Make no mistake we'll be much happier in the end
A crushed heart that's felt by many
A red rose that's bled to dry
Amass the sales of sentiment
Untamed emotions purified
I felt the sea I felt the earth
I saw the light that fades the darkness at birth
I am alive...

Outdated
03:08
|
|||
Walk with my eye on the streets that now imply
If I don't get to live I don't get to die
Been left alone in a city I used to call home
If I can't win why even try?
The modern world kicks me aside
Nowhere to go
The pace quickens with every breath
My one speed is slow
Out of the game, I can barely recall my own name
Your steps ahead, they all look the same
If no one speaks no one can hear
And silence falls on a deaf ear
I got the lies, I've got the feeling
There's no use because I'm outdated
I've seen the stares, the people laughing
The verdict's in that I'm outdated

Expressions
02:24
|
|||
Desires lead to disappointment
Creating failures self imposed
Seeking pleasures in the doorways
That our psyches only close
Knocked down bruised and I'm battered
I paddle out to only sink
And this long road home
Is so much longer than you think
I'm the reason for my anger
An expression of my rage
Decisions I make that get me nowhere
Rattle the bars of my own cage
They say I have no concept
Of what it's like to not be free
But as my shadow surrounds me
I'm forced into obscurity
Of this long, dark tunnel
I squint to catch a glimpse of light
When offers lead me to surrender
A shelter from the darkest night
I'm the reason for my anger
An expression of my rage
Decisions I make that get me nowhere
Rattle the bars of my own cage
As I'm falling down I can't give up
I'll drown in this here town I can't give up
In my chance to win I can't give up
Though my chance is slim I can't give up

Voices
03:38
|

These voices say I can't look back
Does my past really define me?
These muddled voices reek of fear and urgency
These voices speak with jealousy
Can I really be happy and free?
Fervent voices and they're closing in on me
But I'd like to think that I won't be a victim of fear
Are these just feelings of sorrow that I hold dear?
Like a closest friend and it's a struggle just to say goodbye
They're deafening but I know that they're just lies
These voices are in my head

Still trying to crawl out of this hole
It's been too long since I've bared my soul
But you see me, a ship lost at sea
The empty need a leader
An unknown soldier left to cover the post
A desperate host, I'm your holy ghost
And when I rise will it subside?
Will the sun shine on my side?
Holding on like never before
When all hope's gone I carry on
A new life will begin at dawn
Holding on like never before

Out Of Tune
02:38
|
|||
Youthful cause convictions
I'm feeling out of tune
Barriers, restrictions
I'm feeling out of tune
We stand side by side
Alone, with once like minds
To challenge and reset the goals
But like a two edged sword
Regained and lost rewards
We did nothing to strengthen our roles
Glorified stagnation
I'm feeling out of tune
Spiritual condemnation
I'm feeling out of tune
We stand side by side
Alone, with once like minds
To challenge and reset the goals
But like a two edged sword
Regained and lost rewards
We did nothing to strengthen our roles

Homecoming
03:27
|
|||
My timid eyes are blinded by the darkest clouds of Spring
Unaware of what true faith will bring
I pack my bags and looking back I wave "so long" to the rain
Will the man I was on return be the same?
There is a reason for my homecoming
To heal the wounds I left behind
I've been assigned to this homecoming
Not a day's gone by I don't wonder why
Without a word our tears speak volumes like 300 kinds of rain
This highway I will own for four more days
As I grow close familiar fears creep like ghosts inside my mind
But in the end not a day's gone by
There is a reason for my homecoming
To heal the wounds I left behind
I've been assigned to this homecoming
Not a day's gone by I don't wonder why
This night I'm coming home and I wonder to myself
Not a day's gone by that I don't wonder...

Hollow Voice
02:25
|
|||
Not every output needs a reference
Not every artwork need be compared
Not every thought requires attention
Not every opinion should be shared
It's a hollow voice, a hollow voice
Hollow voice, a deserved trend
It's a hollow voice, a hollow voice
Hollow voice marks the end
Freedom of speech defends your forum
What's the point to be recognized?
When that freedom that you value
Turn the tables and it's compromised
Why does my happiness offend you?
Jealous rage turns a blind eye
I don't try to silence your agenda
So don't you try and silence mine
It's a hollow voice, a hollow voice
Hollow voice, a deserved trend
It's a hollow voice, a hollow voice
Hollow voice marks the end
Hollow voice
Hollow stand
Hollow voice
Hollow man

Internal Faction
03:02
|

Hey - here we go again
What the hell am I doing here?
Used to be my favorite thing
Now I complicate it
This is an S.O.S.
I can't remember most days
If you see me pissing on myself
Please don't photograph me
I can't pretend it's not true
And everything I want in you
Hey - you with the fire in your mouth
All you do is talk, talk, talk
You're so famous for that speak so low
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to hear your tongue
I don't want to get to close to feel it burn
There goes the undertow sucking me in backwards
I don't want to get caught too soon
And all the noise I'm hearing coming from the attic
It's so internally blue
I don't want to - (have) to much to talk to

Shine

Where is the world we came from?
Born of self pride and honest dignity
Dip my toe in this pool of life
Just one more man drowning out at sea
Shortsighted businessmen take our world away
As we watch our playground crumble to dust
How far does your dollar go and what do you know
About cultures raised on rubble and rust?
What is the cost of safety?
As we coddle our young is this true love we show?
We shrink down their world's to size
That should be beaming with life and only encouraged to grow
Shortsighted businessmen take our world away
As we watch our playground crumble to dust
How far does your dollar go and what do you know
About cultures raised on rubble and rust?
We've lost sight of our own origins
And somehow we lost our way
While our futures are destroyed
Cause we can't control the pleasures we crave
These are the darkest days my friends but we'll keep on shining on
Knowing that what we built is ours and it keeps us shining on
These are the darkest days my friends but we'll keep on shining on
And so I put my trust in you and it keeps me shining on
