Every now and then the wars all stop
now and again the trenches all fill in
every now and then the doors unlock
and I do my best to take it in again cause'
these are the moments
when heaven opens up before us
elements combine, ignite, and restore us
waves felt unseen
drift into an open spirit
all is serene
all is subsisting for it
Everlong the waves are drifting on
not all are felt without tuning in
eventually the charge inside is gone
and I do my best to take it in again ‘cause
these are the moments
when heaven opens up before us
elements combine, ignite, and restore us
waves felt unseen
drift into an open spirit
all is serene
all is subsisting for it
every now and then we have a chance
to be renewed body mind and soul
if sought out or if it's happenstance
I'll take it in until I am full cause'
these are the moments
when heaven opens up before us
elements combine, ignite, and restore us
waves felt unseen
drift into an open spirit
all is serene
all is subsisting for it

hope that I can tempt you
to step right out of your own comfort
I am there too and I'll go first for you
I know its a plummet
from a high and dizzy summit
we may not survive still I'll go first for you
I might be a sucker
might receive a suckers payout
rather be a knowing fool than out of the blue
never be a taker
I'll never be a self king maker
right or wrong weak or strong just one of the slew
who knows just how we'll feel
I think finding out
is half the thrill
I don't have the answers
won't pretend to know that I'm right
never going to say I know all there is to know
I won't try to sway you
to sympathize with my plight
I just want love to be our guiding light
who knows just how we'll feel
I think finding out
is half the thrill

Faith Is For Fools
03:09
|

Take a seat on the steps
Of this rundown hotel
You know it had its day
Now it's gone to hell
And you think it's a shame
All fates are the same
As you stare at the disrepair
Swear you hear it say
Faith is for fools
Put your hopes in basket
And cary it around
Lose some as you go
Until you’re all out
Don't have to look far
To fill that basket again
Hand over fist
You've been told it's no sin
You believe You'll find love
Yeah and You'll find money
When you step foot outside
It will always be sunny
It’s all part of a plan
that works out in the end
Heaven forbid
It's all made up by man and
faith is for fools
Faith is for fools
Doing cartwheels through hoops
But the show must go on
What else would we do
And Try as I might
Not To fight the good fight
Im as much a fool as anyone
Like a moth to the light
Faith is for fools

walking down this dusty street
swallows swooping past my feet
doing it all for the sake of Pete
for hell and it's fury
and the women I meet
you know it's hard to be a man
don't sweat the little things
let go of plans
from Istanbul to Japan
life is tough for all of us
boy, do what you can
sitting on this old park chair
swallows darting through the air
the world's a mess but I'd be lying if I said I care
how could it be any other way
it's too much to bear
there's way too much to confront
so pick your battles
face them upfront
you'll see that life can be
cruel and violent
but you don't have to join those ranks
so don't pull that stunt
you won't reach the end
without a broken heart
it's still worth loving
worth taking part
with luck you will have time
to perfect the art
you're never going anywhere
until you start
I'm Walking back to that little house
swallows nowhere to be found
just taking it in, sensation all around
the splendor of it all
feet on the ground
you know it's hard
to find your way
hold back those demons
and hold on to face
welcome to being
part of the human race
if you find the truth you're looking for
come on, send it our way

Boat

up and afloat for a couple of weeks
hoping this old boat don't spring any leaks
it's bound to happen
just a matter of time
just hold on long enough
life will throw you a line
whatever may come
know this is true
you've got a friend
in the boat with you
up and afloat and you’re still warm and dry
accept for your cheeks wet with tears in your eyes
things might seem bad
even if they are
a new horizon is coming
and it's not very far
whatever the weather
know this is true
you've got a friend
in the boat with you
up but you wonder why you bother at all
these endless waters make you feel lost and small
I'll help get your bearings
just as soon as I know
whichever direction
is the right way to go
whatever may happen
know this is true
you've got a friend
in the the boat with you
you've got a friend

Selfish

We said goodbye yesterday
Had a little thing but it got away
I Never set out to cause a wound
But if I want love then I guess I'm doomed
To get what I want by hurting you
And every single time that I think I'm through
Desire grabs ahold and it burns anew
And the only want I know is my own
I feel less and less, desire to be
A part of anything outside of me
I know nothin's easy by myself
Guess I never learned to ask for help
The world is always changing and I can't keep up
Asking for a leap of faith but I won’t jump
The fountain that I drink from a different cup
I'd rather it taste bitter than be a lie
I pull the pin then I play a game
I absolve myself of any blame
Then I come across like a harmless soul
But If I'm being honest then yes I know
I try to play the fool but it's such a lie
I know exactly how my actions fly
Yet I just don't have the will to be alone
'Cause the only want I know is my own

Now you are gone
and I'm still right here
hiding in songs
and holding back tears
to do it all right
I'd give it all of my years
but now you are gone
and I'm still right here

Amuck
04:19
|
|||
|
Marching to the Beat
On a squirrelly pair of feet
Couldn't keep time if they tried
but there's no time like the present
To run amuck
They take intrepid steps
To get to where they are
The world's not quick to follow
But it will before the end
And cave again
Soon as hands are clean
They touch more filthy things
As soon as walls are raised
The bold will knock 'em down
Soon as words become
A book of sacred text
It's time to let 'em go
And search for what is next
Search for what is next
Fortune favors those
Who know when to let go
‘Cause one size don’t fit all
And nothing’s ever going to last
‘Til the end
'Til the end
As soon as life's pristine
The dirt will dull the sheen
As soon as torches blaze
They'll start burning down
Soon as one becomes
A tyrant in effect
Others take control
A noose goes 'round his neck
Noose goes 'round his neck

Lanaea's Lullaby
05:48
|
|||
|
They tried to tell you this would come
as if knowing would change the way it feels
but now it’s here and you're on your own
you'll just have to deal
advice is easier to give
than ever helping out for real
in theory it sounds good and fine
but it never foots the bill
don't worry bout' the day Lanaea
expel all thought and be at peace
you're on your own but hey Lanaea
you don't have to break the lease
you grew a shell and hunkered down
your resting face became an anxious frown
you've loved and lost now turn and toss
in sheets until the dawn
You twitch awake when you zonk out
and no one’s laying next to you
helpless like a raft at sea
wishing the night was through
don't worry bout' the day Lanaea
expel all thought and be at peace
you're on your own but hey Lanaea
you don't have to break the lease
can't be alone with your own thoughts
they're far from being on your side
They'll make you think that they are you
they will take you for a ride
but there's another point of view
a witness tucked behind the scenes
you can let it believe all that it sees
or it can oust what it all means
don't worry bout' the day Lanaea
expel all thought and be at peace
you're on your own but hey Lanaea
you don't have to break the lease
Don’t worry about the day
You’re going to be ok
Don’t worry about any bity ol’ thing no no
Just wait and see, all will go your way

Age Old Questions
03:17
|
|||
|
Do you ever wonder why you're here
And as you ponder
Are you filled with high hopes
Or is it despair
A desire for love
Is there a burning sense of purpose
Or a hollow lack thereof
Do you appeal to your instincts
Or a power
up above
Do you hold things sacred
Are rules only made to break
Is everything for you
Or is it give and take
Something about not knowing
Where this is going
Puts your boredom at bay
Is part of you excited
Another part afraid
Is that all there is
That keeps you here today
Something about those eyes
Give you away
Say all you did and didn't say
The more you see things change
The more you see it's all the same
All there really is to do
choose if and how you play the game

Pequeña Noctámbula

Well it was plugging in so well
Then you crashed the scene
Towel on the sand by the sea
There on the ground right next to me
I could look away
Cling tightly to my fate
A predetermined destiny
Leave behind the rest of me
Pequeña Noctámbula
Keeping me up all night
But I'm not complaining
I'm asking ya please don't refrain and
I'll see you through to the dawn
Lay to rest in the morning rays
Hey don't know about you but
I've never seen better days
The cape was my escape
I make decisions on the fly
Can’t begin to tell you why
Can't begin to tell myself
In retrospect I know
I was just in tow
Guided by the ether
Oblivious a non believer uh-oh
Pequeña Noctámbula
Keeping me up all night
But I'm not complaining
I'm asking ya please dont refrain and
I'll see you through to the dawn
Lay to rest in the morning light
Hey don't know what to do but
Everything seems alright
Moving all around and my mind
Has gone somewhere else
I know it should be right here
But what can I say. It ain't
Surrounded by friends, things, and places
Life, moments, strangers faces
My eyes should see it all
But what can I say, they ain't
Just you

Oh Goddess
03:45
|

|
how we fall like loose rocks
at the edge of a high ledge
pulled by the weight
of everything
I don't resist
I can't resist
it gets me going
you get me going
oh goddess
You’re just like so many things
I don't need to live and breath
yet still can't live without
I love it all I want it all
It keeps me going
you keep me going
oh goddess
how we search
for what's in store
on the other side of these
our cold bodies
but all I know
is your warmth
envelopes me
it gets me going
you get me going
oh goddess

Another Waltz
03:55
|
|||
|
sailing in sand the wind is out of hand
riding the dunes like waves of the land
drawing with fingers like billions before
symbols of thought on sand covered floor
not to be studied or set down in stone
the wind fills it in and never it's known
the chair is the ship it glides on the grit
it's arms are like rails to catch those who slip
neighbor's a falcon looking for a kill
more to reflect on attempt to be still
to starve or murder an unyielding deal
more to reflect on attempt to be still
rare findings sweet feelings
new holdings old dealings
amassed in a stroll through the years
soul hunger all seeing
elation pure being
summed up in laughter and tears
preoccupied by communion with awe
place others in front forget about flaws
just like all the lines scrolled fine in the sand
soon are erased by the wind out of hand
just like hate and love and all the above
soon are erased by a wind out of hand
