Everything I ever wanted Ever fear I once confronted Every handshake with a secret Every dream if I could keep it Every idea with no making Every chance I’ve ever taken And so I let go... Is this choice in our possession? Or is it some grand discretion? Is all meaning so subjective? Is all logic ineffective? And now that you here It is all so very clear That to live is to dry The tears from your eyes... Please don’t let the shadows chase you Let the universe embrace you Let my regrets direct you Let my weaknesses protect you The only value of our worth Is to put our love to verse And so don’t let go

Earth Undone 04:17
Sitting here in this lonely place (one more day) Minute hand sweeps a tired face (one more day) Does it know where it’s going? (I can’t say) Can it process its knowing? (anyway?) La da da da da da Does the moon sit idly? (earth undone) Sickly light that it cannot make (gloating sun) Does it know where it’s going? (circle-sick?) Can it process its knowing? (cruelest trick) La da da da da da Another lazy day A Saturday, go out and play Til daddy calls us inside... At dinner we’d discuss The logic of an octopus Eight arms with nothing to climb.... Back outside, in fact We’d count the stars ‘till we lost track The moonlight acts as our guide Daddy where did you go? Are you locked in your room again? We’ll wait here til you come out... The minute drip like a spout.... Counted all the stars then ran out.... And then you never came out.... Laying here in this lonely bed (one more pill) Sheets are stained with the dreams I shed (one more pill) Tears are soaking the pillow case (one more still) Will the pain ever be erased? (one more pill) La da da da da da

My mind went down the alleyway And I watched it go down Walking down the darkened streets Til It collapsed on the ground I can hear my ears perk up But there’s no one around A tunnel’s light so brilliantly... But there’s nothing you can tell me About these dreams you try to sell me There’s no such thing as making As this world was not created Nothing you can tell me About these dreams you try to tell me There’s no such thing as making As this world was not created Everything I ever thought Has left me so tired No such thing as novetly Just synapses misfired And even though I made it up It is still uninspired A tunnel’s light so brilliantly... But there’s nothing you can tell me About these dreams you try to sell me There’s no such thing as making As this world was not created Nothing you can tell me About these dreams you try to tell me There’s no such thing as making As this world was not created I am motionless, motionless, motionless Like an arrow in flight,arrow in flight, arrow in flight.. 2X Don’t blame me, I’m nowhere fast I’m nowhere fast....2X Motionless, motionless, motionless Like an arrow in flight, arrow in flight, arrow in flight My mind went down the alleyway And I watched it go down Walking down the darkened streets Til It collapsed on the ground I can hear my ears perk up But there’s no one around A tunnel’s light so brilliantly... But there’s nothing you can tell me About these dreams you try to sell me There’s no such thing as making As this world was not created Nothing you can tell me About these dreams you try to tell me There’s no such thing as making As this world was not created

You wake me up When you pull another stunt Do you see what you’ve done to me? I was doing just fine Living here in my mind Now I must, readjust to this Don’t you run from That which holds you Look right here Do what I’ve told you If your feet touch the ground And our shared earth resounds How you pace and disgrace affects me If we share the same sky And a storm cloud goes by Every drop, doesn't stop at you Don’t you run from That which holds you Look right here Do what I’ve told you Won’t you please go away It’s but me I betray Won’t you please let me go To the sweet peaceful unknown You wake me up When you pull another stunt Do you see what you’ve done to me? If the chords of the earth Are the same as your birth How you shrug, pull or tug it pulls me Don’t you run from That which holds you Look right here Do what I’ve told you

The Secret 06:08
Who are you to tell me what you wanted? Who are you to tell me what went wrong? Who are you to speak when you don’t know me Know me, know me Who are you to tell me what’s the secret? Who are you to say what it’s about Who are you to speak when you don’t know me Know me, Know me Know me at all Who are you to say you understand me? Who are you to tell me right from wrong? Who are you to speak when you don’t know me Know me, Know me Know me at all Who are you to tell me what you wanted? Who are you to tell me what went wrong? Who are you to speak when you don’t know me Know me, know me Who are you to tell me what’s the secret? Who are you to say what it’s about Who are you to speak when you don’t know me Know me, Know me Know me at all

Athena 04:25
I wasn't born I was split from my father Zeus’s head Like a full grown woman with a memory I was caught by the law of gravity Unraveled by the source, like string theory I'm a myth, I'm a legend.. I am many things A hypothesis tested for validity And tested for Reli-abil-ity Bang bang-begins I was bored-bored as sin Gas clouds form Stars are born It begins! Slump slump-so tired I am bored, uninspired Planets zoom Rockets boom But who cares? I'm just sitting right in my chair You can try to be there.. but who dares? I wasn't born I was split from my father Zeus's head Like a full grown woman with a memory I was caught by the law of gravity Unraveled by the source, like string theory I'm a myth, I'm a legend.. I am many things A hypothesis tested for validity And tested for Reli-abil-ity Beat beat- begins I was born, born within Body forms Thoughts are formed It begins Bump bump - so scared I am lost, unprepared Planets zoom Rockets boom But you've flown? I'm just sitting right here all alone I wasn't born, I was thrown! I wasn't born I was split from my father Zeus;s head Like a full grown woman with a memory I was caught by the law of gravity Unraveled by the source, like string theory I'm a myth, I'm a legend.. I am many things A hypothesis tested for validity And tested for Reli-abil-ity

Wormhole 07:55
We need a wormhole And some negative energy We’ll travel back Like we’re finally there Right where we wanted Standing in town that has no name And there’s nothing we can say It’s undiscovered By the eyes of those who Sit beneath machinery With their cold exhausted Backwards glances Standing in a town we dared to name And there’s nothing we can save Gazing at peace in the distance There is nothing Gazing at peace in the distance There is nothing Gazing at peace in the distance Gazing at peace in the distance Gazing at peace in the distance Stop right there There’s more that’s there Stop right there There’s more that’s here You can’t take my hand and Say that’s that There’s no such thing As going back Oh oh oh... You can’t hide no you can’t run from me now We need a wormhole And some negative energy We’ll travel back Like a couple tourists We’re on vacation! Standing in a town we dared to name Is there something I can save? I have to go now All these people make me sick It’s so disturbing That they’ll never know What’s on the inside Maybe if we can make it go away... They’ll be something I can save Something I can save! Gazing at peace in the distance There is nothing Gazing at peace in the distance There is nothing Gazing at peace in the distance Gazing at peace in the distance Gazing at peace in the distance Stop right there There’s more that’s there Stop right there There’s more that’s here You can’t take my hand and Say that’s that There’s no such thing As going back Oh oh oh... You don’t know but You’re much smaller than me now... Hold on, hold on, hold on...

Marvel 07:59
Time is like an ocean It keeps flowing on Or just apparent motion? The mind's growing on And I don't know if I am dying Or if I'm slowly flying .. I don’t know I can hear a distant ticker In and out a gentle flicker, Let me go Am I my own animation? Model me up though illustration I can't say Am I outside looking in Or am I slowly learning What’s inside of me? This moment is a question That I do not know? Please give me some direction And I'll gladly go And I feel a warm embrace Yet I do not know this place Please tell me where? So familiar is this feeling Someone I have met revealing Themselves to me? Am I viewer and director? On a wall through a projector? I can't say Am I outside looking in? Or am I slowly learning What’s inside of me? I am marveling at this pale blue dot in the night And I am marveling at the still white light passing by And it's bigger than ourselves Yes, it’s bigger than ourselves Yes ,it's bigger than ourselves in the night And I am marveling at the big white clouds in the sky And I am marveling at the soft grey sheets where I lay And it's bigger than ourselves Yes, it’s bigger than ourselves Yes ,it's bigger than ourselves in the sky I am marveling at the large brown building outside And I am marveling at the shuffling people inside And it's bigger than ourselves Yes, it’s bigger than ourselves Yes ,it's bigger than ourselves outside I am marveling at the pale blue do in your eyes And I am marveling at the pale blue dot in your eyes And it's bigger than ourselves Yes, it’s bigger than ourselves Yes, it's bigger than ourselves in your eyes
