premonition 03:36
at last, that fateful day the lights go down, the curtain's drawn, this life's a stage it's my charade too fast, that ghostly shape it comes and goes like rising smoke it starts to fade
2.
floater 04:52
roamer, where do you come from? floater, you've got your head up above but how close can you be? just visiting the feeling that you seek, envisioning dreamer, are you a lost cause? schemer, you got some dirt on your paws let the river wash you clean let the boat rock you to sleep and when you dream do you witness the void or can you see? wide awake clinging to a voice, a constant stream shimmering ripples fall from behind an echo into the back of your mind from the base you started to climb to the lofty peak of the shrine open my inspiration golden just like the rays of the sun but the sun don't always shine still afraid of what you'll find lurkers on the horizon nervous to think they already won tormented by the living, you forget to keep on giving drifting free like a ghost in the night shed the mask you were hiding behind yeah i can tell from the look in your eyes you lose yourself, lose your grasp on this life floater please show me how to rewind can't we both meet again at the shrine?
3.
just as i'm walking along see you blocking my path dead in my tracks i played right into your hand i fell square in your trap and firm in your grasp the tiger shifting its weight getting ready to pounce in anticipation you pin me down with your pause for dramatic effect then on to the next the judge and his jury you're the one who's on trial i was raised in captivity, released in the wild these lines in my eyes like stripes on your shoulders nine of my lives spent getting closer to you and when i'm moving too fast, i might take a step back lay low and cover my tracks quick catch me out on the prowl i'm a gal about town, no one keeping me down nineteen, chasing me down in a dream dressed in skin, bathed in the light of a screen still, feeling safest alone standing frozen in time or set into stone when i look back on my life was i free all along, or could i ever have known? you shall know my fury, feel my wrath, fear my strength wind through the valley, golden sun, holy trek
4.
match 02:51
the chance to see that i'm a perfect match this one was made for me now i can't take it back, no i'm in way too deep let's get it on then, get it over with a fantasy you make a valid point but they still disagree a fateful evening i've known you all my life, it's nice to finally meet we got it on then, got it over with if what you see is what you get then what you're on to, what you're up against is killing me and all i wanted was something better for you but you were always one step falling behind she said "i've been sick for a while now, honey and i ain't gettin better no matter how hard i try" been thinkin bout a life spent running and it sure as hell beats sitting round waiting to die decided i should leave forward motion puts my mind at ease transparent in your strategies, your motives, i could read them all dismissive in your own way, try to fight the feeling, try to shake it off the signs made clear to me the cosmic map, the burning of the wreath
5.
the refuse of forgotten youth yeah we were all in hot pursuit these boys were dyin to get free confusion spread across the land and outstretched like an open hand, the blood red sunrise in the east an omen missed that spelled out death like letters sent but never read a whisper from a shadowed tomb from the corner of your eye you catch a glimpse of me cross the borderline, heed my warning trace your memories there came a time in both our lives when it felt nothing worked out right yet nothing gained, nothing lost as the waves call to the shore, just like my life calls to yours a shrouded figure beckons forth
6.
left 02:10
you got everything i need i'm so confused why you'd ever want to leave nothing but the voice in the back of my brain says i should leave it alone never thought that i was causing you pain guess you'd better leave us alone but you've got six feet underground gone in flames, left us feeling down and out never met such a babe in my life, boy you got a hold on my soul must have been hard to shine so bright burning like you're out of control doomed to oblivion watching all the stars and planets fade away you moved to a different one wish i had the words i knew could make you stay
7.
shortcut 01:51
you wanna take on the town? or find another way back out you set it up to knock it back down through the mess and the crowd your friends have all gone home by now you're just a bitter taste in my mouth now i'm not a hopeless wanderer anymore a new love will let me in made peace with the past and now i'm looking for secrets that hide within i want to know of my hero's love is she still sweet? caught in between? you've got it out for everybody else you got a problem with me? you'd better say it to my face you've got your apathy, you know a shortcut left to take
8.
jaded 02:52
you're never actin your age your momma say you been actin deranged and i been gettin the shakes i hear your name i can picture your face so where will i go when i'm older? will i be standing here next to you? maybe i'm just a little bit jaded when it comes to lovin somebody new you're never catching a break but it's okay, every day ends the same you've been lying awake you can't complain dreams get washed down the drain so where will you go when you're older? will you be standing here next to me? cuz i think you're probably my favorite and i know i want your soul to be free
9.
spirals 02:03
can't see cause there's smoke in my eyes the night filled my mind it turned me darker inside drawn close, slowly circle around you're pulling me in and you're dragging me down but i knew where i wanted to be the rest was a lie i couldn't start to believe i repeat, "not again, not again, not today" it happens the same and i'm spinning away it's too late i'm falling in spirals once again keep tightening blindfolds round my head the telephone, call me up only to say you gotta go there's a law break in my head, i'm laying low there's a nightmare in my bed, i'm not at home but you're falling in spirals once again keep tightening blindfolds round your head
10.
jewel eye 02:31
so another was born in the eye of the storm he came down from the clouds and said to me "i could see in your eye, believe it or not, there's no one alive who could take what we got" well i was raised in a land where working by hand was better than wasting time for free but i was ripping the bong and mowing the lawn with no one around to tell me i'm wrong here in the eye, facets like seasons i was arriving as they were just leaving here in July, take to the streets and past all the houses away for the weekend you were the last one here i was the last one waiting, hoping i could see the northern lights
11.
help me! you're the only one selfless, here for all of us bending by the water's edge lend me to return again keen to meet you, i'm the face of death separation is your final test my dear friend i leave you dressed in black 'til the day we meet again at last show me, take me back a way remind me brother where i was that day bending by the water's edge lend me to return again strange how a feeling fades away yet we never find relief you're still carrying that weight, see you struggling underneath well you say you will change do you wanna make a trade? would you rather play for keeps? you're a mouth without a face i'm the hunger of the beast i'm not smiling your way, i just want to show my teeth safe in my hiding place you can stay while the others wilt away in my camouflage i might change but will i remain unseen? for what's yet to come what's always been this setting sun has left a life we're damned to wander through shades of eternal night
