we exist before our essence
but you said i was wrong
and something comes between us
what do you say
thirsting for the arrow
to shoot ourselves again
and time becomes important
when there’s only so much left
the fear of fear is power
to nothings really there
and nothing will come between us
what do you say
we are whirlwinds who wish were were rocks

Don't See Me
04:26

cushion me
from the gaze of the sun
hide me from your cotton mind
i want to stay down
way under the tow
i want to find out how far i can go
don’t see me
let me drift away

since i’ve been gone a long time
you’re waiting around for the sunshine
well i guess i can see that
no one will be like me
since i’ve been gone a long time
i’m waiting ‘round for the sunshine
don’t expect you to be there soon
and i come back to you
don’t expect to be there soon
when i come back
when i come back
when i come back
when i come back to you

King Of The Castle
02:54
|

i'm the king of the castle
master of all i survey
look directly into my eyes
and i might just let you stay
king of the castle
waiting in my little world
where all is made of gold
look directly into my eyes
watch yourself explode
king of the castle

IN THE HONOR OF THE SON
HIS CONSCIOUSNESS UNDONE
HE SLIPS AND TELLS THE TALE
FROM THE BELLY OF THE WHALE
YOU ARE SUMMONED TO THE HUNT
BUT ITS THE RANSOM THAT THEY WANT
AND ONE JUDGEMENT THAT THEY NEED
ARE YOU LOYAL TO THE SEED
HALF DOUBTS THE TRUTHER FOOL
DEVA SPIRIT SWIMMING POOL
OUR BODIES BOUND TO THE EARTH
BUT UNFALLEN IS OUR BIRTH

NEVER REALLY CARED
IF THE PLANETS WERE ALIGNED
ORBITING THE SUNS
EXISTING IN MY MIND
ITS A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT
SHINING ALL THE WAY
NEVER REALLY COULD
STAND THE TEST OF TIME
SOME ARE FAR AHEAD
SOME ARE FAR BEHIND
ITS A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT
SHINING ALL THE WAY
TRIP BETWEEN THE STARS
TRIP BETWEEN THE MOONS
SEND WAVES INTO THE SEA
CAPTAIN SINGS HIS TUNE
ITS A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT
SHINING ALL THE WAY
NEVER REALLY CARED
IF THE PLANETS WERE ALIGNED
ORBITING THE SUNS
EXISTING IN MY MIND
ITS A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT
SHINING ALL THE WAY

HIDE THE FEARS YOU KEEP INSIDE

Another Demon
03:44
|

She’s followed by
A different shadow
Lazy sparkles in her hair
Can you give her
A lantern
To take away her cares
She’s passing through
A glitter snowstorm
See the flakes fall everywhere
All night long
The shadow’s snowing
When she wakes they disappear
Got another demon to fight
Got another demon tonight
Got another demon to light
Got another demon to fight
Got another demon
The fire will burn tall
Sparks light
A glitter rainbow
She’s a thunderstorm delight
Keep your eyes
On her lantern
Reflecting all her light
Got another demon to fight
Got another demon tonight
Got another demon
The fire will burn tall

Electric Love Child
close the door
electric love child
come back for more
electric love child
there’s no wait
only hate
please don’t tell me what you said
you can’t say you’re dressed in red
people say that this is the end
and all around you is the face of death
all around you is this face of death
close the door
electric love child
come back for more
all falling to earth
electric love child
electric love child
electric love

Time's
Moving fast
It won't last
So get in line
And start feeling fine
And when
You think through
All the things
That you do
You really come alive
And now
Summer's gone
An attack
To the lies
You wanna realize
And when
You see through
All their eyes
All your sighs
You really come alive
And now
Summer’s gone
Just a song
In your mind
For really nobody
And time’s
Moving fast
It won’t last
So get in line
To start feeling fi

Slipping Into The Mirror
04:47
|
|||
The door’s ajar
And holds the way
The photo’s light
Shadows at play
The widest lens
Will have a say
Some time to sink
Reflecting clay
Into the mirror
Reflections gone
Not what they seemed
You slip into
A cloud of steam
Can’t see beyond
Fluorescent beam
You wonder why
The sleepless dream
Into the mirror
A broken glass
Will stand all time
You don’t believe
What’s in your mind
Slipping down
Too far to clim=
Sparks delight
What’s left behind
Into the mirror

Careful What You Wish
03:59
|

Careful what you wish ‘cause you might get it
Careful what wish because you might see
It comes along the way if you just let it
Might be on the road to Tennessee
Packed up all your memories and took them for a ride
They were all you needed them to be
But the future’s the past so you threw them away
Then you realized that you were finally free
On Halloween you went as a coyote
I saw you on the side of the road
I told you all my dreams and then you scurried
Howling to the sky with all you know
Letting go can bring so much sorrow
But only if you think eternally
You’re with me now, that’s all that matters
The scarlet night becomes another sea

Sounds like she wants to fly
But she’s wasting away
Calm down her inner voice
Her silhouette starts to fade
She’s in a dream
Ride the tiger through the fire
Crack the sticks of the cage
Dig deeper earthly desire
She gets to star in the play
She’s in a dream
Motionless
The fatal sting
Feel the doubt
Extended wing
Emotional
Ambitionless
Slowly move the line
To elude the rest
Sounds like she wants to fly
But she’s wasting away
Calm down her inner voice
Her silhouette starts to fade
She’s in a dream
She’s in a dream
She’s in a dream
She’s in a dream
Motionless
The fatal sting
Feel the doubt
Extended wing
Emotional
Ambitionless
Slowly move the line
To elude the rest
She’s in a dream
She’s in a dream
She’s in a dream
She’s in a dream
