Your Truest Harmony
03:54
|
|||
|
You lose yourself
You call someone to find you
You prove yourself to no one
Just passing time
Cling to your health
The past held deep inside you
Your mental health so unclear
Unsteady mind
But you are all you’re meant to be
On the road to your truest harmony
Those untold dreams
The canyons you were to descend
But so it seems
You’ve awoken to a bitter end
But you are all you’re meant to be
On the road to your truest harmony
Learn to forgive
Make friends with who you are and why
One life to live
Just another day
And another lie
But you are all you’re meant to be
On the road to your truest harmony
Yes you are all you’re meant to be
On the road to your truest harmony

Be On My Side
02:58
|
|||
|
The mother held her son
Inside her arms for the first time
His fingertips inside her own
So tucked away from harm
He nuzzled clinging endlessly
Please don’t leave me all alone
Be on my side
Be on my side
He let go of her hand
And climbed aboard the yellow bus
New faces scowled as he walked by
He took a window seat
And turned his head for one last look
She grew so small waving goodbye
Be on my side
Be on my side
Worries come and go
A rising tide
A passing season
A steady wind will blow
You’re out of time
You’ve got no reason to
The son now holds his mom
Inside his arms for the last time
She sees her little baby boy
Her body frail and weak
She reaches out to touch his smile
A fading slideshow tears of joy
Be on my side
Be on my side

Mystic Air
04:01
|
|||
|
Slog away the day now
Time is not your own
Nothing left to say now
To a world you can’t disown
Slip into your shell now
Only you inside
All has gone to hell now
Let the smoke become your guide
Let the smoke become your guide
I can’t roll on without the scent of mystic air
I can’t roll on without the scent of mystic air
Landing back on earth now
Never stay too long
Time for your rebirth now
In a space where you belong
In a space where you belong
I can’t roll on without the scent of mystic air
I can’t roll on without the scent of mystic air
And I just keep floating higher till I’m just not there
And I just keep floating higher till I’m just not there
And I just keep floating higher till I’m just not there

Once You Loved
03:41
|
|||
|
You’re getting closer to the wind
Nothing left now of your attitude
A lesson learned from all who sinned
Do you dare express your gratitude
But once you loved with all your heart
And once you loved unbroken
Till once you tore yourself apart
With words that went unspoken
You’re checking out before your time
Every day is just an exercise
A plastic face will suit you fine
The more you live the more you compromise
But once you loved with all your heart
And once you loved unbroken
Till once you tore yourself apart
With words that went unspoken
Will there be an afterlife for you
Or is that just what they say to comfort you at night
Do you share a different point of view
And does it really matter if you’re wrong or if you’re right
You’re getting closer to the wind
You have reached a final cul-de-sac
The lovers wept the lovers sinned
The lover’s choice cannot be taken back
But once you loved with all your heart
And once you loved unbroken
Till once you tore yourself apart
With words that went unspoken

Our Time To Shine
03:03
|
|||
|
Wake up under the sunlight and you
Think about all you’ve got to do
But maybe today was never really meant to be
There’s someone who you’ve got to see
So will you meet me in the garden
This day is yours and ours and mine
We’ll take it slow ‘cause we’re just starting
And we’re young and so alive in our time to shine
Strolling next to the ocean or just
Catching a ferry off to where
We can escape the sites and sounds now if we dare
Neither one of us we haven’t a care
So will you meet me in the garden
This day is yours and ours and mine
We’ll take it slow ‘cause we’re just starting
And we’re young and so alive in our time to shine
No longer under the gun
Loving under a willow tree
All our troubles are gone
And we’re living free
Maybe tomorrow we’ll get
Back to grind but until then
We’ve got a sunset that we’ll never get again
Got to see it off with my best friend
So will you meet me in the garden
This day is yours and ours and mine
We’ll take it slow ‘cause we’re just starting
And we’re young and so alive in our time to shine

Behold
04:02
|
|||
|
You’ve got a lock on me
Making me your slave
You make monogamy sexy
You hold the secret key
Take it to the grave
I’ve never loved so honestly
Take it all in stride
Behold the love you hide no more
Tied to the train tracks clinging
Calling out my name
Throbbing aching dance the dream
Two lonely hearts are singing
Over is the game
Someone here needs some rescuing
Take it all in stride
Behold the love you hide no more
The dice are rolled
A spell is cast
So leave all baggage in the past
Just hang on tight to me
Be my Lois Lane
Tell me all now that you fear
Laying so helplessly
Frightened by the rain
You’re safe now that your husband’s here
Take it all in stride
Behold the love you hide no more

Driving Nowhere
02:05
|
|||
|
Look
Look behind and you will see
The faces of a past
Incomplete
Ask
Ask the question on your mind
The answer so unkind
Bittersweet
Will
Will yourself to set it straight
Someday appreciate
Bravery
Tell
Tell yourself you had a heart
Mistaken from the start
Heavenly
Wake
Wake up now from years of slumber
Mapping out your every number
Innocent
Dream
Dream of all you would have known
The wind has come and blown
Cognizant
Driving nowhere
Driving nowhere

Landmines
03:33
|
|||
|
Today you left me reeling
On the bathroom floor
Tomorrow knows no feeling
Still coming back for more
No longer so appealing
What are you waiting for
Maybe I’ll just leave it up to you
And we’re headed for the storm
Landmines all around you
Any word you say could set them off
You have been warned
Nothing left to fight for
And do I even know you anymore
Our thunderstorm
Don’t ask me for affection
I don’t have much to give
Don’t ask for more attention
You’re sounding like a kid
You long for sweet connection
Well it’s your life to live
So I’ll just leave it up to you
And we’re headed for the storm
Landmines all around you
Any word you say could set them off
You have been warned
Nothing left to fight for
And do I even know you anymore
Our thunderstorm
And you don’t see a damn thing coming
Just swimming in your lullabies
And never see the answer in my eyes
The answer in my eyes
The answer in my eyes
Today you left me reeling
On the bathroom floor
Lying begging stealing
Still coming back for more
No longer so appealing
What are you waiting for
I just can’t leave it up to you
And we’re headed for the storm
Landmines all around you
Any word you say could set them off
You have been warned
Nothing left to die for
And do I even love you anymore
Our thunderstorm
Our thunderstorm

Saved From Yourself
04:37
|
|||
|
Someday you’ll see why it is
That I had to leave you
Something inside will kick in
You’ve been set free
Go and find a new face to greet you
Then your new life can begin
‘Cause you hitched a ride
On a train that has left the station
You can be saved from yourself
True to your form
You will reach your new destination
Old dreams will fade on the shelf
We gave our all through the years
Off and on until the end
Tried to make you who you’re not
But next time you fall
No more tears
So much more than just a friend
He will treasure all he’s got
‘Cause you hitched a ride
On a train that has left the station
You can be saved from yourself
True to your form
You will reach your new destination
Old dreams will fade on the shelf
I’ll see you in a year
And you will think that I’ve forgotten you
But that could never happen if I tried
On a random corner
We will share a laugh
A song or two
And talk about it all before it died
Someday you’ll know what it is
You were meant to live for
Something inside will kick in
Each month you’ll grow deep inside
A new child to give more
And your new life will begin
‘Cause you hitched a ride
On a train that has left the station
You can be saved from yourself
True to your form
You will reach your new destination
Old dreams will fade on the shelf

Another Tale
04:05
|
|||
|
Remnants of a storm
Shredded throat and shattered glasses where you stand
You’ve been this road before
All curled up and waiting for a softer hand
So look around and thing of all you’ve got
A calmer head will now prevail
It’s getting late and thicker is the plot
You live to tell another tale
Heart is racing fast
Is this turbulence the last that you will know
How long can it last
Hands are trembling great suspicion starts to grow
So look around and thing of all you’ve got
A calmer head will now prevail
It’s getting late and thicker is the plot
You live to tell another tale
Talk yourself into a flurry
Rising fever knows no shame
Thoughts all manic in a hurry
Times when you don’t know your name
Know your name
Silent 3am
Haven’t slept all night
You wrestle now in vain
Searching for a friend
Daylight on its way
Confusion has no end
So look around and thing of all you’ve got
A calmer head will now prevail
It’s getting late and thicker is the plot
You live to tell another tale
