Hello old friend
I’m back again
Wondering/Wandering
When this will end
Familiar streets
Familiar skies
A hall of mirrors
Packed with lies
The passing tones of waves deliver
Ice cold blasts from off the river
As wave-like winds toss me about
I gasp for air but go without
An anchor chains me to this place
Nailed to a cross that pierces space
A setting sun illuminates
The scars of time upon my face
I mourn the lost souls of Broad Street
Young and dumb and getting numb on Broad Street
Finding salvation through intoxication on Broad Street
Happy hours always end on Broad Street
I checked my mind
At the door
My heart feels less
Than before
Changed your room
Changed your view
Changed all the things
I thought I knew
The passing tones of waves deliver
Ice cold blasts from off the river
As wave-like winds toss me about
I gasp for air but go without
An anchor chains me to this place
Nailed to a cross that pierces space
A setting sun illuminates
The scars of time upon my face
I mourn the lost souls of Broad Street
Young and dumb and getting numb on Broad Street
Finding salvation through intoxication on Broad Street
Happy hours always end on Broad Street

Holy Spirits
04:18
|
|||
On the darkest of nights
In the absence of light
Stained Humpty dyed Technicolor
Pushed from wall
All the king's men
Chief propagandists too
Spun it all away
Saying what was once now is two
The crocodile king
Lord of the underworld
Scattered shattered shell
Discarded the flesh like an echo of Babel
Holy Spirits what is it you need from me
I feel your ancient fire rising up in me
I imbibe and revive ghosts alive in me
Oracle of the wise give me eyes to see
One day the world got strange
And the old walls fell
Just like a hand grenade
Thrown down a wishing well
With the wind at our face
The old world passed us by
As we race on through space
Chronos plucks an eye
Holy Spirits what is it you need from me
I feel your ancient fire rising up in me
I imbibe and revive ghosts alive in me
Oracle of the wise give me eyes to see
This is my body
This is my blood
Sip of my wrath
Swallow my love
Purifying intoxication
Sway with the Spirits
Embrace the numb
Do this in remembrance of me
(Drink Up Drink Drink Up)
Do this to remember me
Holy Spirits what is it you need from me
I feel your ancient fire rising up in me
I imbibe and revive ghosts alive in me
Oracle of the wise give me eyes to see

Another Day Has Come
05:20
|
|||
The mascarade that night
Fooled everyone but me
And that was when I knew
I had to set you free
The ocean currents changed
The sun and moon estranged
A living scar here bears your name
I’ll never be the same
Another day has come
Another night gone by
Now only one stars left
Igniting mourning skies
Weeping willows play our song
As I sit and sing along
All is lost when stars are crossed
Nothing gained by lovers lost
Without you by my side
It all just fades to gray
There’s nothing left to hide
No more games to play
Forgiving time heals all wounds
Sinking souls like lead balloons
All is lost when stars are crossed
Nothing gained by lovers lost
Another day has come
Another night gone by
Only one stars left
Igniting mourning skies
Weeping willows play our song
As I sit and sing along
All is lost when stars are crossed
Nothing gained by lovers lost
One night is all sinks in
Each kiss meant to deceive
God end this suffering
I’m numb and I can’t grieve
I’d slice this flesh if I could feel
To know I live and that I’m real
Tightly wound in my cocoon
I pray that time might clean this wound
Another day has come
Another night gone by
Only one stars left
Igniting mourning skies
Weeping willows play our song
As I sit and sing along
All is lost when stars are crossed
Nothing gained by lovers lost

Traveling (All Mixed Up)
03:49
|
|||
Frozen here in forgotten times
Lost in days gone by
Aching in my solitude
In fleeting shadows hide
Observing things that once were
But will never be again
Broken up deep down inside
The heartache never ends...
Traveling I'm passing backwards through time
Wandering I never know what I'll find
The universe is in control
Time is flying by
Always pushing onward
As if the past has died
I keep a copy locked away
Hidden in my mind
The future is a day away
But the past is always mine...
Traveling I'm passing backwards through time
Wandering I never know what I'll find
Forgotten places still remain
Familiar faces all so strange
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
But somehow still the same
Traveling I'm passing backwards through time
Wandering I never know what I'll find
It's all mixed up

Skin Deep
03:38
|
|||
Traverse the endless night
Shadows cast by searing light
They say beauty
Is just skin deep
Slice my flesh
I am more than you see
I have seen beyond this life
We can never truely die
They say beauty
Is just skin deep
Slice My flesh
I am more than you see
Just like the heavens
We are forever
They say beauty
Is just skin deep
Slice My flesh
I am more than you see

Profane
04:14
|
|||
Out of winter
Exit pain
Enter sunshine
Warmth of day
Walk on water
Feel my shame
I am
Profane
Nothing lasts forever
But each moment spent together
Is one that I’ll remember til the end of me
This moment’s fleeting fast
But together it will last
Til the end of time
Our lives sublime
Here in the dark
I feel a work of art
the beating of your heart
It draws me in
Touching you’s a sin
But my virtue is your skin
Our bodies entwined
Forever shall bind
Days pass
Lives change
Questions… all vain
Embrace wisdom
Love is profane
Nothing lasts forever
But each moment spent together
Is one that I’ll remember til the end of me
This moment’s fleeting fast
But together it will last
Til the end of time
Our lives sublime
Here in the dark
I feel a work of art
the beating of your heart
It draws me in
Touching you’s a sin
But my virtue is your skin
Our bodies entwined
Forever shall bind
I am the dark
Devoid of light
I am the sun
Pulsating light
I am profane
We are the same
Loosen your binds
Find solace in my name
Nothing lasts forever
But each moment spent together
Is one that I’ll remember til the end of me
This moment’s fleeting fast
But together it will last
Til the end of time
Our lives sublime
Here in the dark
I feel a work of art
the beating of your heart
It draws me in
Touching you’s a sin
But my virtue is your skin
Our bodies entwined
Forever shall bind

Children of the Revolution
Say it isn’t so
All a grand illusion
These can’t be the seeds we’ve sown
It was four legs good
And two legs bad
Four legs good
And two legs bad
Now it's four legs good two better
The world is changing
And changing fast
We animals notice it last
Four legs good two better
Victims of their machinations
Watching revolutions spinning round
The clock hands beg for a resolution
With none found til the *springs* have come unwound
It was four legs good
And two legs bad
Four legs good
And two legs bad
Now it's four legs good two better
The world is changing
And changing fast
We animals notice it last
Four legs good two better
All animals are equal
But some animals are more equal than others

The Engineer
03:14
|
|||
Born out of this world
Sometimes I just can’t find
My place in space and time
What might the reasons be
For synchronicity
Coincidences seen
The fabrics breaking down
A pixelated shroud
I’ve peered behind the screen
The program’s shutting down
Glitches within the crowd
So many eyes can’t see
The end draws near
A dissipating sphere
Enjoy the fear
Know I’m its engineer
And as I look around
Emptiness abounds
What does it all mean
I try to take it all in
And then it starts again
It’s overwhelming me
The end draws near
A dissipating sphere
Enjoy the fear
Know I’m its engineer
You’ve gone too far this time
So I’ll defend what’s mine
I shatter paradigms
A king without a crown
I’m bringing it all down
Just seek and ye shall find
The end draws near
A dissipating sphere
Enjoy the fear
Know I’m its engineer

Wired In
04:18
|
|||
Spent a lifetime questioning
Never finding what I need
But here's the answer
The only key
We're the secret
The mystery
You speak to me without a sound
It's in your eyes
It's all around
Entangled in this energy
I am you and you are me
I feel your pain
Your suffering
Your broken heart
I'm wired in
As close to perfect as you could be
We're connected
It's always been
Time won't stop us
It won't slow us down
The world we created
Is our playground
You speak to me without a sound
It's in your eyes
It's all around
Entangled in this energy
I am you and you are me
I feel your pain
Your suffering
Your broken heart
I'm wired in
We're both the same
I know you feel my pain
You've been inside of my sad sad heart
We're wired in
Thoughts ignite like fireflies illuminating life
We keep them here deep down inside
Where prying eyes can't find
Our secret dreams and memories
Some we left behind
Some still pulsing through our blood
Cherished, nourished with our love
I feel your pain
Your suffering
Your broken heart
I'm wired in
We're both the same
I know you feel my pain
You've been inside of my sad sad heart
We're wired in

Secret Tree
03:20
|
|||
I walk alone, walk alone today
In the garden where we played
And I have a fear that’s been on my mind
And the seed will grow in time
I know I shouldn’t nourish it
But my heart embraces it
And I shouldn’t feel this way inside
But… that tiny seed is mine
In the garden grows
A forbidden fruit
And only I know
The danger of its roots
When the time is right
I will share
Its poison with the world
And all of its despair
And only I know…
I used to love the pouring rain
I used to love life just the same
Then I lost the one that I loved most
Like the father, son, and missing ghost
Now my life isn’t in vain
My little seed nurtured in pain
It’s growing fast, growing tall and strong
Under it’s leaves here I belong
Watered it with fears
Night and mourning tears
Sunned it with my smile
Fed it dark wiles
I never thought it would come to this
In the garden where we kissed
You came back and walked with me
Somehow you found my secret tree
And you tated poison fruit
It’s divine and absolute
Now I’ll keep you safe with me
In shade of our sacred tree

Helios
04:04
|
|||
One day we were walking
And really got to talking
That’s when we found ourselves… overwhelmed by it all
We spoke of all the secrets
In the universe around us
All that which surrounds us
So I set out to find
The answer to the grandeur
The source of all wonder
Now I’ll share the secret
That I have found
I can see it all
Contained within this
Wondrous fireball
Gifting life to us
Forever he’ll glow
Though his return is slow
After all that thinking
My reality was shrinking
Everything was shifting
And my thoughts were always drifting
All of evolution
Life in disillusion
Powered by Revolution
I can see it all
Contained within this
Wondrous fireball
Gifting life to us
Forever he’ll glow
Though his return is slow
Helios charges across the sky
Why must he die
I can see it all
Contained within this
Wondrous fireball
Gifting life to us
Forever he’ll glow
Though his return is slow

Out There
03:16
|
|||
I'm on my own
Have no home
I'm just wandering
Back and forth
To and fro
Always wandering
It gets old
All this cold
I'm left wondering
How did I wind up here
I just keep pondering
Crash ahead
Crash ahead
Everywhere out there
Phantoms, Nightmares
They call my name
I'm drifting away
The road always feels so alone
As lives go passing by
I'll never know who they are
Or what the want from life
Looking around lost in sound
Momentum's passed me by
Frozen in time I look up and I see the sign
Crash ahead
Crash ahead
Everywhere out there
Phantoms, Nightmares
They call my name
I'm drifting away
