Morning breaks the kettle's on
I'm not awake there's no alarm The hills aflame behind me As the ash seeps through my window My mother's voice spills out of me like vinegar Seems I just can't stop My fight a burning beacon Dare I let it shine this bright If you could take my youth And hold it in your hand Then you'd understand It falls through it's just sand No sense in holding on The current's much too strong Extinguish all those silly dreams **Did you turn out the light? You wonder through the day Did you turn out the light? I used to be consumed for hours Without consequence Burning at both ends With blasphemous indifference Yes just like you I was just like you If you could take my youth And hold it in you hand Then you'd understand It falls through it's just sand No sense in holding The current's much too strong Extinguish all those silly dreams |

Lost in streams
Remembering Your breath upon my face The sweet song of your embrace Another dawn The fog of days roll on As the embers fade The glow is gone Rescue me From these everyday fires Set me free Let me feel that desire **My darling our love Was not meant for this world How did we get to where we are Tied a string upon a star We have everything But time love in this world Al out devotions blown away Bu the madness of the day We have lost something With time love in this world Rescue me From our worldly desires Promise me We can bring back the fire |

I know brother they tell you one thing
And I know sister they sell you another Distract you with baubles and glitter Their taunts and subliminal whispers Keep you hungry and apart Consuming your heart **There's a mirror in the next room Bending all that you see There's a mirror in the next room With your identity If only you can try it You know you've got to buy it To have everything If only you can buy You know you've got to try it To have everything That's how they sell you I know mother they give you with one hand And I know father they take it with two Enslaving your deepest desires With shining things you can't acquire Keep you needy and un-whole Consuming your soul Tellin' you that you feel the pauper Tellin' you that you're feeling scared Tellin' you that you just don't measure Tellin' you that you need repair That's how they sell you Mirror mirror on the wall The lure of illusion's my fall You are the cruelest of all |

Again they're teasing me
I'm fighting what I cannot see I'm diggin' still can't find the key And logic just keeps failing me Take another swallow Lean back and disappear Take another swallow And release the fear One to fill the hollow One to make it clear One to hid the mess and One to keep me **To keep me runnin' Oh Doctor my dismay The dragon never goes away Will your medicine keep him at bay Will it get me through another day Buried deep and tied up neat Laid to rest put down to sleep All the mischief knocking at my door I have tried in vain just to ignore Take another swallow Lean back and disappear Take another swallow And release the fear One to fill the hollow One to make it clear One to hid the mess and One to keep me Ain't got time for looking back |

I disagree with your philosophy
What kiled the cat's not curiosity? And you know that I'll do it again Yes you know that I'll do it again And there's no stoppin' me my friend Not this time **I'll be good I'll be good tomorrow I'll be good Another day These palace walls are lined with excess When wisdom calls I'm riding express But I swear I won't do it again No, I swear I won't do it again And I promise this is the end One last time I take a bite Open my eyes Oh cover me Yes I am naked I've made my deals with moderation But virtue's a fleeting fascination Cuz I know that I'll do it again Yes I know that I'll do it again And it's silly for me to pretend All this time |

You've come to me an open book you say
Still those dog eared pages get in the way All those slings and arrows I never pointed my dear Leave me shoring the dam And soothing the beast of your wild frontier Pieces of people and shapes of their hearts Layers of loving you've worn from the start Footsteps before me that carved who you are Echoes of someone you wear as a scar You're in pieces Pieces You're in pieces baby Under the rug buried in the dust Hides a little boy who cannot trust With your bow and arrow Ready and pointed my dear Leave me lost in a harbor Soothing your ghosts til they disappear Pieces of people and shapes of their hearts Layers of loving you've worn from the start Footsteps before me that carved who you are Echoes of someone you wear as a scar You're in pieces Pieces You're in pieces baby |

And there you are
Swift wings don't make a sound Your pilot star The voice won't let you down The angel in your head The angel in your head You're down on bended knee Some nights just push the edge Another foggy bit creeps in beneath door You've sought your shelter in some of the strangest arms It's any wonder that you've made it to the shore Tired and sore And there you are Swift wings don't make a sound Your pilot star The voice won't let you down The angel in your head The angel in your head The angel in your head The angel in your head Your heavy tears they fall Your heart it weighs a ton Another blind ballet of Trouble that you brew Be still your comfort has been with You all along In faded whispers your dawns Coming into view You always knew And there you are Swift wings don't make a sound Your pilot star The voice won't let you down The angel in your head The angel in your head The angel in your head The angel in your head |

The walls you walk through in your sleep
The map you had but couldn't keep Seems it's never as you planned That's a lie you understand Every fork in the road you choose Some you win some you lose It's all in the ride It's all in the ride For when you decide It's all in the ride Beauty's there it's deep inside Drifting on a brilliant tide It's all in the ride It's all in the ride The spell we're under it runs deep Full of illusions that we keep Seems it's only about time And we are slaves caught in its chime Every moment is only now And future past is just a cloud It's all in the ride It's all in the ride For when you decide It's all in the ride Beauty's there it's deep inside Drifting on a brilliant tide It's all in the ride It's all in the ride |

Tied to all you believe
Drifting far from all you receive Let your mind fall away Let your black and white be gray When you close your eyes and open the window Let go of the lies and look at your shadow When you close your eyes and open the window Let go of the lies and look at your shadow Close your eyes You can see further High Frequency |

It's in the mirror when I see
Your face reflected back at me I half expect to hear your voice Reminders float like papers in the breeze Bathing in reverie Yes dust to dust but you remain you see So rooted deep within my groove No you don't miss a beat you linger on So strange I know you're here 'Cause your love is everywhere We're one heart I do believe You're now the air I breathe You're in me It's in the way she looks at me A smile as wide as Tennessee I hold her tightly with your hands And cradle every possibility Ours is your legacy A downy crib and dreams of what could be I have nothing to fear You are with me each step of the dance You linger on So strange I know you're here 'Cause your love is everywhere We're one heart I do believe You're now the air I breathe Your love is everywhere Your love is everywhere So strange I know you're here 'Cause your love is everywhere We're one heart I do believe You're now the air I breathe You're in me You're the air I breathe You're in me In everything I see So strange I know you're here |

What was I looking for
Crawling in a darkened corridor What was it that I should find Hiding in the corners of my mind Where in my heart Where in this life Where in this world Is the memory Of all I ever was Of all I'll ever be The questions the same The answers come without a name Of all I ever was All I'll ever be The questions remain I ask them again and again As I lay me down As I lay me down Lay me down Where in my heart Where in this life Where in this world Good night Sleep tight |
