Lost 03:10
lyrics

Lost and alone It happens every single day Standing aside You had me every single day Too tired to fight, I watched you fade away, away Your heavy shadow wouldn’t scrape away Lost and alone Until you went away, away Lost and alone Peeling the stain away, away I had a lifetime of pain today, today I stopped the bleeding so you’d stay Lost and alone Between the curtains of today Standing aside Beneath the blacktop of today Too tired to fight I watch you drift away, away I had a feeling you might stay today Lost and alone Until you went away, away Lost and alone Peeling the stain away, away I had a lifetime of pain today, today No more believing you would walk away Please stay Please stay Please stay away Lost and alone I have something here for you Standing aside Don’t open it, but if you do Turn out the light or you might fade away, away I had a right to talk to you today Lost and alone I could have paved the way, the way Lost and alone I could have saved the day, the day I had a feeling it might rain today, today You won’t remember anyway

Treehouse 04:17
lyrics

Windy windy wonder Simple shiny slumber Knowing that a flower blooming with perfect tone Might have no choice But to grow alone Timid tiny terrace Mystic marvel menace Knowing that a perfect seed does not exist And betwixt and between There’s an ancient tree With branches that beckon me Hold me, keep me safe Love me, lift me high Wipe away my tears Shield me from the world Beyond sound and sight Hold me, keep me safe Love me, lift me high Shade me from the sun Take me far away Between the earth and sky Wimpy whiny wonder Dimple doting daughter Knowing that perfection drives the hunger And has a choice To let it go Tiny trying terror Eerie eager error Knowing that a perfect end is nowhere near And betwixt and between There’s a dying dream With music that beckons me Hold me, keep me safe Love me, lift me high Wipe away my tears Shield me from the world Beyond sound and sight Hold me, keep me safe Love me, lift me high Shade me from the sun Take me far away Between the earth and sky Hold me, keep me safe Love me, lift me high Shade me from the sun Take me far away Between the earth and sky

Spectre 03:29

Eyes closed, stone cold Looking through the bedroom wall Strange, true - see-through Peer beyond the closet door It’s you dear, only you Showing up again from beyond the grave Telling me why this can’t be saved Warning me from the other side Begging me to run and hide You - you’re always near Forever, with me, you’ll remain Ooh - I feel you here I change, you stay the same I change, you stay the same False hope Jump rope Showing off his bank account Burned out Strikeout Speeding through his broken ground But it’s you dear, only you Showing up again from beyond the grave Telling me why this can’t be saved Warning me from the other side Now I know he has something to hide You - you’re always near Forever, with me, you’ll remain Ooh - I feel you here I change, you stay the same I change, you stay the same Forever you’ll be here with me So far away but always near Forever I’ll listen - I’ll always remember us You - you’re always near Forever with me you’ll remain Ooh - I feel you here I change, you stay the same I change, you stay the same

Blue I see the color blue And remember warm waves Flowing through the plains Red and blue Colors of a nation Rising high Never under water Swirling close to the sky Close to our hearts Our city waits for us now It’s still there singing We must look back - feel its pull Keep on remembering Our city waits for us now It’s still there singing We must look back - feel its pull Keep on remembering and live on Over there Lies a city dormant Under bodies and souls Overturning Love and hope Over nothing All that was left is now gone Our city waits for us now It’s still there singing We must look back - feel its pull Keep on remembering Our city waits for us now It’s still there singing We must look back - feel its pull Keep on remembering and live on Moments flew Helicopters came too late Lonely souls with Nowhere to go The winds have come and gone Washed the city away As the blood mixes with tears Trinkets of water and winds Innocent lives suddenly taken Under and over Flowing water Blue and red Our colors Blood on the water Blood in my veins This will not be Forgotten Truth will be found Over and under Movement and flow Running water Our city waits for us now It’s still there singing We must look back - feel its pull Keep on remembering Our city waits for us now It’s still there singing We must look back - feel its pull Keep on remembering and live on Keep on remembering and live on

Lightning 02:35
lyrics

All I can say is that there’s no sun No star that doesn’t burn or bring planets life In this book, the pages fly so high That I can barely touch them or see them dying Maybe when the lightning strikes, I will Maybe when the lightning strikes, I will I feel like a wind with no purpose A cocked gun waiting, aiming Why is it that the brightest mind Can’t see the inside of a heart Why so much pain, blood on the grass Why does the need run silently away each day Maybe when the lightning strikes, I will Maybe when the lightning strikes, I will I feel like a wind with no purpose A cocked gun waiting, aiming The beauty within hides itself in tears The craziness, perhaps the daughter of promise Why the rain that never ends Why the stark downhill, the lust for drama Maybe when the lightning strikes, I will Maybe when the lightning strikes, I will I feel like a wind with no purpose A cocked gun waiting, aiming Ours is this mystery curse or treasure In our eyes lies the answer We should start with a quest, fully equipped Prepared to the teeth to hunt for dreams Our lives should be enough to pay for it Maybe when the lightning strikes, I will Maybe when the lightning strikes, I will, I will Maybe when the lightning strikes, I will, I will

Preview 03:09

Since the beginning A preview to a dream Slow and suspenseful Daring to be seen To live, that’s you A thousand volts down the spine The extract of joy Pours through your eyes It’s almost painful Time stops for a while Existence is suddenly less Without your smile You should always Be like this Never mundane So others don’t stand a chance We follow, we strive for something more We suffer, we cry for the past tonight If you could be here, we could be everything If only you were here tonight Maybe we were there Not knowing why Innocent lovers Nothing to hide We could go back Cause this is our song In you I found The strength to go on We follow, we strive for something more We suffer, we cry for the past tonight If you could be here, we could be everything If only you were here tonight

Undying 02:18

If I thought I could let go I would be illogical If I thought I could get by I would make those bullies cry Maybe we’re all dying souls Out of luck, lost our way We would never fight again We could never be the same Undying, Unkind Ungodly, Unwise Undying, Unlike Unlimited, Unspry Undying, unkind Ungodly, Unwise Undying, Unlike Unlimited Trudging through the sand and mud Feet are swollen, pick them up Flying over plains and pride Spotting targets, swatting lies Maybe we’re all fallen foes Out of time, lost our will We would never fight again We could be better still Undying, Unkind Ungodly, Unwise Undying, Unlike Unlimited, Unspry Undying, unkind Ungodly, Unwise Undying, Unlike Unlimited Gone is the lonesome night Gone like the sun and moon Out for a glimpse of light Shining not a moment too soon Undying, Unkind Ungodly, Unwise Undying, Unlike Unlimited, Unspry Undying, unkind Ungodly, Unwise Undying, Unlike Unlimited
