Falling Down

I'm awake, but in my mind
I am falling down
Falling to the ground
I'm awake, but in my mind
I am falling down
Falling right down
Whenever the stars come out
Walking along the water
Whenever the stars come out
Oh, I think about falling down
I'm asleep, but in my eyes
The sun is bright
The sun is real bright
I'm asleep, but in my eyes
The sun is bright
Shining real bright
The moon begins to fade
I lay to rest in my home
Oh, the moon begins to fade
And the sun starts shining in my eyes
The sun goes down, and I arrive
I arrive at work
Another late night
The sun goes down, and I arrive
I arrive at work
Working late nights
Whenever the stars come out
Walking along the water
Whenever the stars come out
Oh, I think about falling down
Yeah, I think about falling down
Oh, I think about falling down
Yeah, I think about falling down

Breathe in
The air may sting, but you can feel
The pain is there, but at least it's real
The wound is fresh, but wounds will heal eventually
Breathe out
Relax and let the tension fade
Try to come to your own aid
No need to swim when you can wade to carry on
Heroes never earn their name
For the pain they hold inside
Let it out look up ahead
And find the strength to keep moving on
Open up
Spread your wings and take the skies
You already know now realize
Failure
Failure is a healing word
But only when you make it heard
Without the first time there's no third
And that's the charm
Sometimes
You push until you feel the strain
Lie a moment, and feel the pain
The way to learn is to try again and carry on
Heroes never earn their name
For the pain they hold inside
Let it out look up ahead
And find the strength to keep moving on
Open up
Spread your wings and take the skies
You already know now realize
Open up
Spread your wings and take the skies
You already know now realize
Realize
Realize
Realize

Seasonal Lies

The seasons have run away
The seasons have run away
The seasons have run away
The seasons have run away
The summer has stolen my face
The summer has stolen my face
The summer has stolen my face
The summer has stolen my face
(Temporis mendacium)
(Temporis mendacium)
(Temporis mendacium)
(Temporis mendacium)
The fall has revealed your lies
The fall has revealed your lies
The fall has revealed your lies
The fall has revealed your lies
How will I warm to the winter
How will I warm to the winter
How will I warm to the winter
How will I warm to the winter
The spring reveals a world reborn
It frees me from shame and scorn
The spring has made it all end
The spring has made it all end
The spring has made it begin again
The spring has made it begin again
The spring has made it begin again
The spring has made it begin again

The Rain's Gonna Fall
04:20
|
|||
|
I went out a-walkin' to look around my hometown
I left before the sunrise, and I stayed out 'til the sun went down
I listened to the neighbors, but listening just made me glum
They were waiting there for something, but they thought that it would never come
I got myself to thinkin', and I didn't sleep a wink that night
We work 'til something's wrong, and then we work some more to make things right
I pondered more and more on the things I knew I had to say
'Cause livin' ain't livin' if everybody lives this way
There's a drought in the land and the fear makes it hard to sleep
Come harvest time there may be nothing left to reap
Well, I've been around just long enough to know
The rain's gonna fall and the wind will eventually blow
I sat down to writin' to reflect upon the things I learned
The people had the fire, but they felt like they would just get burned
I remembered all the low times when I was at the end of my rope
The work will get you close, but to make it you can never lose hope
There's a drought in the land and the fear makes it hard to sleep
Come harvest time there may be nothing left to reap
Well, I've been around just long enough to know
The rain's gonna fall and the wind will eventually blow
I've been around just long enough to know

Lost at Sea
03:11
|

|
Lift your gaze above water
You've been burying your head beneath sand
There's a wind blowing inland
It won't always be dry where we stand
There are clouds in the twilight
But the deep crimson sunbeams shine through
I would say that we're calming
But I don't know my words would be true
You're just like the ocean
I'm drawn by my fear
Yet here we are sailing free
A tumultuous sea you and me
Don't be surprised that we're stranded
When you were the one who changed course
Don't you flinch at the rising gales
When you can reach hurricane force
You're just like the ocean
I'm drawn by my fear
Yet here we are sailing free
A tumultuous sea you and me
Ride the waves
Ride the waves
Ride the waves
You're just like the ocean
I'm drawn by my fear
Yet here we are sailing free
A tumultuous sea
You're just like the ocean
I'm drawn by my fear
Yet here we are sailing free
You're just like the ocean
I'm drawn by my fear
You're just like the ocean
You're just like the ocean
You're just like the ocean
I'm drawn by my fear
Yet here we are sailing free
A tumultuous sea
A tumultuous sea
A tumultuous sea you and me

Ulterior Motives
02:56
|

|
You've got that look in your eye
Like there's something you want
Like there's something you've gotta get
You've got that look in your eye
Like you think that I want it too
But I just don't know it yet
I've got that nasty feeling
That I'm on a ride and I'm just holding on
You've got that look in your eye
Like the second you get it you're gone
Please understand why I'm pensive
Ulterior motives will outlive what I can give
Pretty soon I'll have nowhere to go
Quid pro quo is gonna overflow the status quo
You've got that devious smile
Like you know that I'm trapped
That I'm right where you want me
You've got that devious smile
Like you've already won
And you're flaunting your victory
I've got that trapped mentality
I can't leave or I'm the villain
You've got that devious smile
Now I don't even know you, and I'm taking it on the chin
Please understand why I'm pensive
Ulterior motives will outlive what I can give
Pretty soon I'll have nowhere to go
Quid pro quo is gonna overflow the status quo
Yeah, please understand why I'm pensive
Ulterior motives will outlive what I can give
Pretty soon I'll have nowhere to go
Quid pro quo is gonna overflow the status quo

Thoughts and prayers
The currency of cowards
A magic incantation
To spare the meditation that would lead to agitation
Thoughts and prayers
The avatar of actors
The place the work begins
But if you're born to means then they're the destination
For all your stoic reverence
Your performative piety
Your furrowed brow your static silence
Did you ever try doing something?
Ah, grave concern
A substitute for scruple
A gavel by the norm
To protect them from reform through a veil of civility
Grave concern
The battlecry of bystanders
Values, said with tact
From those who lack the will to act and want the optics of humility
For all your stoic reverence
Your performative piety
Your furrowed brow your static silence
Did you ever try doing something?
For all your stoic reverence
Your performative piety
Your furrowed brow your static silence
Did you ever try doing something?
For all your stoic reverence
Your performative piety
Your furrowed brow your static silence
Did you ever try doing something?

Personal Pagliacci
03:26
|
|||
|
Welcome to the darkness, stranger
Let me be your personal guide
Stifle all your joy and anger
And let your ennui and angst collide
I don't know if this is your first time
And I can't tell which way you'll go
But let me walk you one more step
'Cause you'll see more clearly from down below
Clouds will gather, storms will rage
Without a reason, without a rhyme
We're all our own personal Pagliacci
And all you can do is laugh sometimes
Settle down and get your bearings
Floating along this River Styx
But don't dress up that grief you're wearing
You can cover it in color, but nothing sticks
Sometimes there are sandy shores
And it might feel good to warm your feet
But something comes, then something more
So grieve, then breathe, then rinse, repeat
Clouds will gather, storms will rage
Without a reason, without a rhyme
We're all our own personal Pagliacci
And all you can do is laugh sometimes
Come down
Come down
Come down
Come down
Clouds will gather, storms will rage
Without a reason, without a rhyme
We're all our own personal Pagliacci
And all you can do is laugh sometimes
Clouds will gather, storms will rage
Without a reason, without a rhyme
We're all our own personal Pagliacci
And all you can do is laugh sometimes

It Was You
04:40

I just had an epiphany
I just solved a mystery
Where my joy and my passion went
Where my time and my life were spent
I inspected the scene of the crime
I put together the clues
Realized I'm the victim here
And the culprit was you
And the culprit was you
Going through my conversion
Done with toxic immersion
Placing faith in a better place
Seeking love from another face
I will walk with my head held high
I will reap what is due
Don't pretend that you don't know why
It wasn't me, it was you
It wasn't me, it was you
I will walk with my head held high
I will reap what is due
Don't pretend that you don't know why
It wasn't me, it was you

Whisper of the Streets
04:51
|

|
The morning whispers come through my window
Listening is how I see
I hear the footsteps of a stranger
Walking along the streets
Listen to the footsteps walking along the streets
The whispers continue through the afternoon
The sounds never cease
The distant murmurs are overwhelmed by the whisper of the streets
Listen to the murmurs
Tell me, what do they see
I hear the whispers through the day
They tell of all they see
Listen to the whispers of the morning, evening, afternoon
Evening comes and they don't stop
The streets, they never sleep
Listen to the whispers
Listen to the whispers
Listen to the whisper of the streets
Telling of the people that they meet
Listen to the whisper of the streets
Telling of the people that they meet
Listen to the whisper, the whisper of the streets
Listen to the whisper, listen to the whisper
Listen to the whisper of the streets

Mountains

The mountains on the horizon are beckoning me
The mountains in the distance are where I should be
I want to climb on up to the top of that hill
Take a look around from the top of the world
The mountains
I want to be free
The islands across the ocean are beckoning me
The islands in the distance are where I should be
I want to swim as far as my breath can hold
Float upon the tide until it carries me home
The islands
I want to be free
The stars in the night sky are beckoning me
The stars in the distance are where I should be
I want to build a spaceship that can take me up high
Blast off from this rock and leave it all behind
The night stars
I want to be free
The mountains on the horizon are beckoning me
The mountains in the distance are where I should be
I want to climb on up to the top of that hill
Take a look around from the top of the world
The mountains
The mountains
The mountains
The mountains
I want to be free

I'm Back
03:59
|

|
I'm back from the valley of hopeless self-implosion
And I can breathe, I am riding the wave of a body in motion
And I can taste of the nectar of self-determination
And I am free from the specter of all my dark fixations
And waves of terror wash over me
But they will carry me to shore
I'm safe from the perils and demons of my making
And I'm alive, and nothing is free but it's there for taking
Night falls, but I know that a light is shining out there
Day breaks, and I know that I can find it somewhere
And rays of hope illuminate me
And they will light my way
Waves of terror wash over me
But they will carry me to shore
I'm back
I'm back
I'm back

You and Me

Saturday morning
The sun reaching through my eyes
And what will I find
When I open them
Will I see
You
Laying there beside me
Arms reaching out
Or will I be without
I never know
That's what you do to
Me
Every day's a surprise
I never know if I'll find
You there spending time with me
If there's one thing I could change
It would be you and me
And how much time we spend together
Searching in the morning
Searching in the afternoon
Searching in the evening
Searching under the moon
Searching for you
(Searching in the morning)
You walk through through that door
(Searching in the afternoon)
Don't even say a thing
Not even a smile
(Searching in the evening)
Nothing I can latch right onto
(Searching under the moon)
Nothing I can trust
To change
Us
If there's one thing I could change
It would be you and me
And how much time we spend together
If there's something I could say
It would come out of my heart
The problem is I don't know where to start
(Searching in the morning)
If there's one thing I could change
(Searching in the afternoon)
If there's something I could say
(Searching in the evening)
If there's nothing I can do
(Searching under the moon)
To be there with you
(Searching for you)
(Searching in the morning)
If there's one thing I could change
(Searching in the afternoon)
If there's something I could say
(Searching in the evening)
If there's nothing I can do
(Searching under the moon)
To be there with you
(Searching for you)
(Searching in the morning)
If there's one thing I could change
(Searching in the afternoon)
If there's something I could say
(Searching in the evening)
If there's nothing I can do
(Searching under the moon)
To be there with you
(Searching for you)

Frozen Lake
04:00
|
|||
|
Sometimes I'm haunted by the ghost of a stormy past
And I don't know who I am, and the world is spinning fast
Specters surround me, darkness has found me
I look in their eyes and see my own face
I walk on a frozen lake beneath a sunlit sky
I rest on the surface and let the world pass me by
The ice grows thin, and I fall in
The water consumes me whole, and leaves no trace
Sometimes I can't recall my ghosts or feel my past
I pray that the last time that they came was their last
I can breathe freely, but I know they see me
Sometimes I'm trapped by murky visions of loneliest death
I cry out and pick at invisible wounds like Lady Macbeth
Nothing is real, except how it feels
I want to abandon this wretched place

Forget What You Mean
04:23

I see greener fields over there beyond the sea
If I can find a ship to sail me I can forget what you mean
I am blocked and grounded, oh, and I am stuck by me
If I can get over myself I can forget what you mean
The path behind leads from shadows, ahead is just a dream
If I can find someone to wake me I can forget what you mean
I am tired and drowsy here, and I am stuck in sleep
If I can wake up myself I can forget what you mean
Standing at the end of the cliff
Staring out over the sea
I cannot find the
Way past the end of you
I see greener fields over there beyond the sea
Until I find anyone all I see is a dream
When I find peace within then I can forget what you mean
