Broader Sight
03:26
|
|||
|
Everything’s all right
If I just might
Heed the calling
Of a broader sight
Once a good story
Former glory
Tossing shadows
Evading light
Find another reason
Try another day - and I’m
Moving through the seasons
Trying to stay out of my way
Just now woke up
Memory fading
But moments bright
Following whispers
Through these raindrops
Wish I could stay here
I think I might
Find another reason
Try another day
Moving through the seasons
Trying to stay out of my way
Ignoring a rose for its thorns
Holding pain like a newborn
Won’t ever find sunlight
Running circles in a storm
Find another reason
Try another day
Moving through the seasons
Trying to stay out of my way

Happenstance
04:08
|

All night to ride
Won't stop and take in the sights
Still miles left to shed
Down this road we’re led
Numbers fall in sync
Energy rising
Sudden pop
Soul mic drop
Self-imposed ball and chain
Let it go
Just stop
Is it all happenstance?
A paperback romance?
As if everything was left to chance
Or maybe coincidence
Just falls around the fence
Pre, present and future tense
Answers to seek
May end up mighty
History says
More like meek
Broke the pattern
Moved on
Headed for the peak
Is it all happenstance?
A paperback romance?
As if everything was left to chance
Or maybe coincidence
and falls around the fence
Pre, present and future tense
Fresh paint out on the stars at night
Feeling faint from a constant plight
Even sunlight shines
After the darkest night
Within without
Two open ears and one closed mouth
To really listen far exceeds
The illusion of our needs
Is it all happenstance?
A paperback romance?
As if everything was left to chance
Or maybe coincidence
Just falls around the fence
Pre, present and future tense
Not all happenstance
A storybook romance
Being led in a cosmic dance
Nothing coincidence
Lit up in every sense
From now on and future hence..

Caution To The Wind
02:55
|
|||
|
One step
Either direction
Won’t know
Until looking back
Laugh, cry
Anything goes
When your wings finally tire
Gratitude
Forgotten notion
Even though it’s a simple thing
Once again mislead
Focused on the wrong things instead
Like throwing caution to the wind
Roads stretch
Every direction
Won’t know
Stop looking back
Best try
God only knows
When your wings are finally tired
Gratitude
Forgotten notion
Even though it’s a simple thing
Once again mislead
Caught up in the wrong things instead
While throwing caution to the wind
(One more time around again,
One more time around
One more time around again,
One more time around
Around
Around …)

Paradigm Shift
03:15
|
|||
|
A full on paradigm shift
Ascending clearly
Soul expands as blinders lift
The old new me came in
Shifted things
As they’d been
What was forgot
Rise again
A long long time ago
But not so far away
Alluring paths diverge
And every one lead astray
Outcast puzzle piece
Lost in the couch everyday
What’s the point anyway?
Rise up
Embrace your pure
Spread your good
Lift up
Feed your fire
As you know you should
Wake up
Trust in all the gifts you bring
To the world
SNAP reality
Can’t stay there too long
10 different things went off
Game of attention ping pong
Purpose fleeting
Daily life ADDing
Smoke and mirrors...
Rise up
Embrace your pure
Spread your good
Lift up
Feed your fire
As you know you should
Wake up
Trust in all the gifts you bring
To the world
All you bring to the world
All you bring to the world
Send it out to the world

Moments I Denied
03:48
|
|||
|
Ghosts here
Dance with me every evening
Stay clear
Of deeper meaning and feeling
Safe fear
Comfort in an unbroken ceiling
Easier just to hide
But I gotta keep on trying now
Owning up to what is mine
And I’ll keep my head up high now
Cause it’s on me
For what passed by
In the moments I denied
Ghosts say
The same thing in different fashions
Then laugh
As dreams turn into ashes
Safe way
When days are long
with dwindling rations
Easier just to hide
But I gotta keep on trying now
Owning up to what is mine
And I’ll keep my head up high now
Cause it’s on me
For what passed by
In moments I denied
The moments that I cried
Moments that I lied
In the end
I can’t hide
Ghosts here
No they won’t stop talking
I can’t hear them
If I try
So I gotta keep on trying now
Owning up to what is mine
And I’ll keep my head up high now
Cause it’s on me
For what passed by
In the moments I denied
Moments I denied
Life I denied

Know One
03:17
|
|||
|
Inside
Answers hide
Hints of why
Flirt with dawn
Waking
Soul reframing
A well-known feeling
Coming back strong
Whispers
Echo restless
Soul is endless
Merging with wind
Know one
and old and new one
Yet the same one
It's always been
Rising up from moments past
Fleeting people cycle fast
Life, a constructed mask
Missed time
False emotion
Misplaced devotion
Repeated again
Now know
Inner light shown
Finds its way home
From where it began
Rising up from moments past
Fleeting people cycle fast
Spoken promise from a trusted face
That masks true intention, a malicious ace
I concede trying to find my place.
I'll be here dreaming..
I'll be here dreaming..

Mask sale
Realize slowly
Sold out wholly
Always two teams
Wholesale hope and a
discount dream
Settle
Meddle
Love it

Always two teams
Wholesale hope and

Hypnotized
04:09
|

Calling all Angels
Hear this plea
This is not how things
were supposed to be
Humanity turned
cold and mean
While feeding an addiction
to a 6 inch screen
Spend our days
Hypnotized
Redefining truth
Mixed with lies
Scrolling through
As life slips by
Buying in
Hypnotized
Choices made for the easy path
A promising futures failed past
What could have been
is a beautiful hope
Now strung up and ignited
at the end of a rope
Spend our days
Hypnotized
Redefining truth
Mixed with lies
Scrolling through
As life slips by
Buying in
Hypnotized
Who we are
Who we could be
Forgotten in a never-ending scrolling sea
Releasing of responsibility
Because it said so online,
It wasn’t me
"I don’t have to listen"
"I refuse to try"
"I don’t have to change"
"I blame the other guy "
Spend our days
Hypnotized
Redefining truth
Mixed with lies
Scrolling through
As life slips by
Buying in
Hypnotized
Spent our days
Hypnotized
Traded truth
For convenient lies

Man Behind The Curtain
03:27
|
|||
|
Be true
Be you
But hide your true face
Wolves do pace
Static in
Trending sin
Fight the good fight
But don’t expect to win
Blind and loud
Mean and proud
Kindness a value
Gone underground
The man behind the curtain falls
Human after all
World intruding beyond safe walls
Wind for these sails is gone
Spent too long a pawn
Letting it all go in song
Gotta stay grateful
In a hateful
Time of lies
Lord of the flies
The man behind the curtain falls
Human after all
World intruding beyond safe walls
Wind for these sails is gone
Spent too long a pawn
Letting it all go in a song
Missing what love once meant
So many chances spent
Left here wondering
How it went so wrong
We chose this, after all

After Everything
05:05
|
|||
|
Undo my eyes
Rest in time
The deeper the longing
The quicker the pain
A beer and a smile
It’s better to laugh than to reconcile
Still hear the voices
Still feel you're moving
After
Just to see myself in the morning
Just to see myself in that way
And now you stand before
All that you thought you knew
Left at the door
Everything’s changing
Everyone's calling
After
Holding peaceful
Writing softly
Wanting
Wary
Giving up
Just to see myself in the morning
Just to see myself in that way
I don’t know why
Everything I
Wanted
Ended
Given up
Just to see myself in the morning
Just to see myself in that way
Just to see myself in the morning
Just to see myself in that way
