Eric Johnson - Bloom (2005) by Eric Johnson (보컬) on maniadb.com

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
""We'll meet on the edges, soon"" said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
""Rip down all hate"", I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundaitoned deep somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Floung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
""Equality"", I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

There's no such thing as freedom
Without some responsibility
All this shock and surprise
But we've been throwing out a mean boomerang
And now it's coming back at us.

Wouldn't you like to see a change?
Are you willing to pay?
Stopping the screams and guns and pain
I'd like to throw them away.
We put the innocent to test
By all the thoughts we invest
Children learn from what excites us
That's such a sad legacy.

Do you really think no connection?
With the polarity we emit?
And worship walks in the wrong direction
We keep feeding it
And I am thinking something
But I'm really doing nothing.

Wouldn't you like to see a change?
Are we willing to pay?
Stopping the screams and guns and pain
I'd like to throw them away
We put the innocent to test
By all the thoughts we invest
The children learn from what excites us
That's such a sad legacy.

Wouldn't you like to see a change?
Are we willing to pay?
Stopping the screams and guns and pain
I'd like to throw them away
We put the innocent to test
By all the thoughts we invest
Wouldn't you like to see a change?
Bustin' the sad legacy.

All these things we chase outside
Pull us down
Endless desire to give us joy
Can't be found
Catching up to get my breath in this fight
Something is about to stir and it feels right
From my heart
Working in a new mirage to grab onto
Climbing up another's fence, no better view
Where's my heart?
I can't say much
""Much"" is just words, they're not real
Lead to the truth
Substance inside
I won't hide
From my heart
So much has been said
Turn off your mind, learn to feel
Close to your breath, all that you need
All that's real
I just can't hide, hide from the truth
You describe
So break me down into my soul
I return... to my heart

Its so crazy living in this world
Separating the stone and pearl
Like we do in the every day
Turn our attention this way
To ride up on the thing you do
I just walk up straight to you
Tell you what you probably know
Theres a light that always shows
Your Sweet Eyes
I cant turn back anymore
Opportunity at my front door
Showing me I should get this way
You dont get asked every day
Change your mind and you change
Your plans
Then your heart starts to understand
What youve got right next to you
Realize whats coming through
Your Sweet Eyes
All I got to do when Im sad
I just think about the times weve had
And all my fears just drift into space
Theres nothing that can erase
Your Sweet Eyes
Theres a star in the northern sky
Captivating me as I walk by
Showing me what I can become
Leave behind what is lost or won
Somethings different with me, can you see
The truth is starting to come out of me
As I think about the hope I feel
I leave behind the world for something real
Your Sweet Eyes

I think this world was made for you,
Because of the wondrous things you do;
I saw an empty name, turn to a brighter fl ame
That was the gift that you gave me,
It was your love that saved me.
Something so rare and tender, deserves complete surrender
I want to place the Sunnaround you.
I dont think that I ever knew my heart
Since that first love, it fell apart.
Not knowing what to do, until that one was you
I kept anticipating, that kept my heart from breaking.
Now that I get to hold you
And say words I havent told you
I want to place the Sunnaround you.
Sometimes, people keep holding out
Until they are sure what its all about.
So long the time, weve had to wait,
Cause theres no more need to hesitate
To start our life to be, I know Ill surely see
Every investigation, shows me the inspiration
That there just is no other, to learn of love together
So I place the sun around you
But not just my heart sways toward you
The whole wide worlds made for you
Thats why I place the Sunnaround you.
