The Lost Souls Of Broad Street 04:21
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
lyrics
buy track
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

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

Four Legs Good (Two Better) 04:50

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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
