Here was a cloudless sky, the color of an endless sea Expand out before your eyes, and wash the clouds in your sigh And there was the bright white sun, that shone from far above, And gleamed on the ocean, and sang of a newborn love It dances cross your face, so white The sacred light of day Oh, the glory of having this sight I never want to leave I sat among kings and queens, to pass the morning up, And later they visited me, in the other world of my dreams The creatures of the spring left songs spinning round my head The melodies of birds that sing, as they flitted through the trees And later all the grass will grow green, as the rains begin to fall, And water will splash hard on my skin, but I won't care at all Oh, the glory of being alive I never want to die

You walked home alone again Book open, pencil in hand Guarded by what you don't understand Like why people hurt you, and why it concerns you As for me, I just wanted to drop by Perhaps you saw it on the news today The man who made it through the stock exchange Who never tested his range, never defined his domain Still he says be realistic, we're all just statistics As for me, I just wanted to drop by There are those simply chasing 'right now' who say "I'll show you the world, if you show me how" 'Cause you know that only you know what to allow Still they flirt with the vision of making your decisions As for me, I just wanted to drop by Streets are littered with those who try to impress Who want to take you home then leave you, undressed Who don't know the difference between cause and effect And think that they're pleased, but don't know what it means As for me, I just wanted to drop by I don't want you to trust me, I want you to know Because before I get the chance I may have to go This was only meant to be a quick pit-stop hello, So act on your mind, and leave me behind After all, I just wanted to drop by Yeah I guess I just wanted to say hi

Standing at the end of a decade, So quickly growing old and still feeling new And in a single breath or two, I'll be far, far away from you Floating in-between self-assurance and doubt, Knowing things are only sure for a short while Before they give way to some new fad or style, And the truth that you knew becomes a shadow And here we'll all be alone in this together, Seeking illusions of glory we've earned While our youth still burns, to our over eager minds Everyone has the right to dream, But does anyone ever truly pay their due? We gain what they lost in the soul searching days of their youth Seems like we all deserve a whole lot more Than a handful of empty promises When we've all been aiming for, Aiming for the moon You and I, we melt together Wave upon a wave The crashing upon the shore We'll raise something of our own, Bring the old one crumbling down

Pandora 03:47
You're as twisted as a tornado caught in a spiderweb Of overgrown feelings, and rosy-red weeds Secured by insecurity, you bet on your mastery Of artificial success, and material greatness Your knees are weaker than the reasons that you defend Yourself, and all your lies recycled with your disguise Barefoot you walk the line, is this what you had in mind? Like a pin without a grenade you're helpless Your shadow leads you circles Pandora Pandora The wrinkles on the surface reminds you there's nothing left As even your reflection has frozen knee-deep You're an epic hero lacking pride, a moon with no control of the tide Like a pin without a grenade you're helpless Your shadow leads you circles Pandora Pandora Recognize yourself, Recognize yourself, Recognize yourself

Hello evening, find myself drifting along Your soft and violent shores, Your soft and violent shores The shadows aren't so steep, the path of gods meet To the rhythm of your song, To the rhythm of your song I feel the air, descend into me Ascend into the setting sky, Ascend into the setting sky And in the stillness of the night, The earth she shines a radiant glow Of diseased, city lights They burn into me Oh, they burn into me Oh, save me from myself Save me from what I've become I gave a promise to all living things A promise that I couldn't keep And in the stillness of the night, The earth she shines a radiant glow Of diseased, city lights In the stillness of the night, The earth she shines a radiant glow Of diseased, city lights They once were the stillness of the night, Oh, they once were the darkness of the night

Mistake 05:42
Standing on the edge of what you want Take your time, because mistakes can haunt Am I something, or something to avoid? Am I your music, or just background noise? Though I don't want you to see me as I feel this way It's better for you to know, then just look away Now I feel frozen in the choices I never made As I long to let you know that you were no mistake And the problems, forgive and forget It's for others happiness, so I won't regret So now I'm frozen, caught in this mess It was meant to be for the better, if not the best Though I'm allowed to breathe, I hold my breath Though I know what I want, I only take what's left And it may not seem right if it's not for myself But I live for the happiness of everyone else And I don't want you to see me as I feel this way It's better for you to know, then just look away Now I feel frozen in the choices I never made As I long to let you know that you were no mistake Know if you lose your breath, you always take mine And if the night blows in, you make it shine You give music a rhythm, and poetry it's rhyme Reason for life in my hope to relive a smile So I need you to see that the choices I made were for you And I know that it'll work out, if you help me break through Now I feel frozen in the choices I never made, As I long to let you know you were you no mistake No mistake

Desormais 03:57
You were a man, I thought I was too So you laughed with a scent of french wine, As you tied my shoe You took me to the beach, 'til the waves had us trapped, So I started digging for gold, But you said to first find a map It was eight years ago on the day of the great rise They tried to cushion it a lot, But the fact was you died My hand told me more, than I could admit As it couldn't cross your name off A Christmas card list The last time I saw you was as ashes in the wind, So if instead I cry fire Could I see you again?

Exit Sign 04:12
Cities flash past my eyes, like stars in some foreign skies And the freeway passes on to some distance towns We watch from the confines of car windows, the crumbling of factories And ancient mill towns, the sights of forgotten dreams I know I'm driving towards something, some dream of my own, And I know when I find it, I'll call it home But here I seem to be somewhere in-between Who I am and who I want to be And here I want to love everything I see, But only to see it taken from me, But only to see it taken from me Remember those days of the summer, those holy august nights That held infinity in an hour, made you feel alive Now it's leaving all too fast, as quickly as the trees that pass Driving through this country side we see our exit sign These moments will fade like sunsets Swiftly passing away And day will drift into starlight, But I can say when it all disappears, the memories will remain And here I seem to be somewhere in-between Who I am and who I want to be But here I know I'll find the times we shared will never really leave me, Won't ever really leave me

Windchime 04:10
And the breeze picks up from the ocean dew, And climbs through the forrest to the mountain view It turns into a wind to fly away in style, And it runs through your hair just to make you smile In your heart you feel the wind open a door, It refreshes your mind to allow in more And it trickles through your fingers as you lay in a field, As it turns into the air you can't help but feel And though the sun can't heat when the cold wind blows, And the world only runs from the tornadoes, The wind moves the clouds to bring the summertime, For I am the wind, and you are my wind chime Through the stormy night it works harder for you, To force the storm on, and pull you through And even when it's silent it's still in your breath, As it whistles to your feelings and brings them the best And though the sun can't heat when the cold wind blows, And the world only runs from the tornadoes, The wind moves the clouds to bring the summertime, For I am the wind, and you are my wind chime But you are more than dust in the wind, You control the air that you let in You think reality will always be best, So you forget your dreams and ignore the rest And the breeze decides you felt only air, And failed to see how it truly did care, And all that passed through the sands of time Can't find the sound of that beautiful chime And you may not see it when the cold wind blows, Or when the world screams to help them below, The wind moves the clouds to bring you sunshine 'Cause I am the wind, and you are my wind chime I blow you a kiss, and you sing me a line I blow through your mind, and you simply blow mine For you are my wind chime And the breeze picks up from the ocean dew, And climbs through the forrest to the mountain view It turns into a wind to fly away in style, And it runs through your hair just to make you smile
