The Game

Lyrics
I was a different person long ago,
I layed on cold rock down by the river bed,
this water runs like an ever flow,
carries my soul to the river's end,
I stood on the shore like a dynamo
swam out in the sea till the colors bent
and these waters pull as they ever glow
and carry my soul to the drainage vent
I'm floating near the surface
the moon pulls the waves
nothing still in motion, yet these emotions
never change,
I'm falling down from the surface
as I sing these drops of raining
to the one that wrote the program
I aspire to beat the game
I was a sheltered person long ago
took the words all wrong couldnt comprehend
this meaning runs on an ever flow
not all of the mind gonna understand
I stood in the crowd like an Alan Poe
and twisted the codes till the colors bent
this light it burns like an ever glow
somethings break down gotta reinvent
now I'm running on the surface
the sun beats the grain
nothing still in motion yet these emotions never change
I'm flying up from the surface
as I sing these drops of pain
to the one who wrote the program
I aspire to beat the game
I'm floating near the surface
the moon pulls the waves
nothing still in motion, yet these emotions
never change,
I'm falling down from the surface
as I sing these drops of raining
to the one that wrote the program
I aspire to beat the game

Lyrics
How long till we rise?
I'm falling to pieces
falling to pieces
How long must we compromise?
We're shattered to pieces,
falling in pieces
Hello,
I'm beggin you please dont take him
Hello,
I'm begging you please dont break this
this flood has turned me into a waterfall
and drove me straight to the ground like a cannonball
How long till we rise?
I'm falling to piece
falling to pieces
falling to pieces
How long must we weave the lies?
We're shattered to pieces
falling in pieces
How Long till we rise?
How Long till we rise?
I'm falling to pieces
falling to pieces
Hello,
I'm begging you please dont make him
Hello,
I'm begging you please dont take this
This law has turned me into the alchol
mixed first and ethanol
your words will fall in the overhaul
with pieces of wailing wall
oh oh oh
dont look back my love

Do you see the light?
Do you see the light?
Do you see the light?
oh contrare I'm blinded
so close I can feel the heat
Are you mesmerized?
are you hypnotized?
are you petrified?
oh my god I'm flying
so close I can feel the heat
dreams they follow me like secrets
oh have I got secrets
winds they swollow me with regreat
oh I got regrets
Don't you worry baby everything is fine
we're all crazy we're all blind
we're all castles in the sky
Don't you worry baby everything is fine
it will get to us in time
it will hold us up in light
blow my mind

so close I can feel the heat
Do you see the light?
Do you see the light?
Do you see the light?
oh my god I'm crying
so close I can feel the heat
strange it follows me with secrets
everyone's got secrets
waves they swallow me so frequent
lead me out in the deepness
don't you worry baby everything is fine
we're all floating here in time
we're not leaving you behind
don't you worry baby everything is fine
we're all perfect we're all kind
we're all swinging from the vine
blow my mind
blow my mind
blow my mind we're fortified
we're fortified

At Your Feet
04:29

Lyrics
I wanted to sit down and write you a letter
I wanted to sit down and talk to you face to face oh been forever
I wanted to tell you so many things
I could never bring myself to admit my wrongs and the time it stings
I wanted to swim out
spend time at sea
there's always a shark out there where the land is rare and a heart that bleeds
I wanted to bring you something rare
find you a treasure so damn good can't crack like stone or burn like wood
All the way at your feet it lay
Bring it all the way at your feet it lay
I flew over canyons and fell under waves
I floated with dirty seeds couldn't plant their deeds
and I swam away
I ate the mountain but didn't drink the tea,
someone said there's a vine that grows make a dead man rose
and a blind man see
I fell into darkness so I could relate
didn't twist my arm wasn't devils charm
was a million bruises for love not hate
I wanted to show you something rare
a glowing light that was so damn bright
couldn't hold no darkness or breathe no lie
All the way at your feet it lay
Bring it all the way at your feet it lay
all the way I will carry, I will carry
and I will bury all the pain I hold
All the way at your feet it lay
Bring it all the way at your feet it lay

Small World
05:02
|

Harbor mist cold at night
walk these streets no thoughts denied
it's calling back in the wind
no place I'm going
where I'm going
or where I been
Its a small world
its a small world
they came inside and built with clay
and shaped the mountains for the words we lay
can we reach the distance
oh its ever far
a spec of dust defined in trust round a tini star
its a small world
its a small world
blue little rain drop
blue little sky
blue little heartache passing me by
oh in the harbor mist
I see you walk by
its been forever but I remember
oh the time it flies
I'm delighted to see you moving on
just a greet and smile though it's been awhile
in a flash you're gone
will I see you again?
oh sweet december
with thoughts so big
is the world that big?
then I remember
its a small world
its a small world

Slip N Slide
04:38
|

I'm not afraid of you
I'm not afraid what your momma's gon' do?
everybody's sick way past the flu
so take this shot let me give it to you
I am a connoisseur, eclectic, basic carnivore,
I see your side of the Rubix door but
don't quite understand better tell me some more
I'm here for livin free take two steps back
before you lay into me,
I ain't stole your cup of tea oh sweet little boomer
manatee
This is a color wheel
move round to the sound
till the neighbor's squeal
Dr. says better take your pill
these waves won't end till they overkill
Chorus
All these thoughts
feel me slide
all this talk let me
slip n slide
I heard the neighbor's said
something about your grain and bread
now all they're children ain't been fed,
this gossip rests when we all be dead
I'm not political
all these opinions push and pull
teach your children in the school
stand straight in the line or be made a fool
Chatter inside my head
flowing down from the river bed
strain these feelings over said
then pour me out of the mountain red
I'm here for living free
fuel my conscious destiny
bridge these gaps to eternity
or lose my mind way out to sea
Chorus
All these thoughts
feel me slide
all this talk let me
slip n slide

Small Victories
05:01
|

I got no bone to beef
puree my soul to eat
I may be hungry but I'm not dying
We're plantin collad greens
taking small victories
aint wont the war but we're still trying
I learned the hard way oh aint nobody coming to get ya
oh it's hard when you realize aint nobody coming to save ya
I got these mouths to feed,
I got these songs to seed
I may find sorrow but I'm still smiling
life bends on trickeries,
taking small victories
oh I'm not stupid I see you slyin
Come down river gonna break me,
all shout, everybody hate,
come round you can now relate me
we'll dance on the battleground
small victories
oh no everything is broke down
spin me baby right round
come down and dance on the battleground
life's to short gotta breathe
small victories

Keep Smiling
05:04
|
|||
I saw the light on the blue horizon
I felt the winds on the waves I'm riding
come with me friend we can all keep driving
high on the wind and the waves we're riding
I saw the land out there in the distance
and I didnt even know it's existence
come with me friend we can walk on the surface
find us a path and create some purpose
oh oh
Come with me friends we can all pretend that nothing is broken, nothing to mend
and ohh keep smiling
I took a friend on top of a mountain
and we dug deep and created a fountain
come with me friends we can all keep thriving
high in the winds and the waves we're flying
we saw stars out there in the distance
hands in the air called out with persistence
come with me friends we can talk with the planets
and reach for the sun if we want we can have it
ohhhh ohhh
Come with me friends we can all pretend
that nothing is broken, nothing to mend
and ohh ohh ohhh
keep smiling

Lunar Eclipse
05:17
|

You're a world within
you're a world within
Is my failure possible?
is it self induced?
is it my decision, a failed decision
to face the truth
seeking relentless,
No Failure, I'm Moving
For all my sweat, Take all my tears
and calm my pride,
I am not a puppet,
I got no strings,
I'm the writer, I'm the actor
I direct the scenes,
You're a world within
You're a world within
I'll grow with adventure,
I chose the long way home,
see my reflection in a new dimension
from the astrodome
Calm my heart,
I've giving you to many tears to cry now
Calm my mind
I felt this to many times
to many times
Calm my mind in the lunar eclipse
let the moon pass by let it hit my lips
oh reason of mine,
oh reason to try
there's a world within me
and I decide
A world within
oh the world within

Erase
04:44

Love is a battlefield, that's what they said
so bring me brokenhearted, bring me your dead,
I've got something I should show you that my father sent,
it's a message with a treasure map,
and I've not paid the rent
Eyes all on me with the stars all follow,
hearts so lonely, with the stars,
we'll all swollow fate,
with faith to erase the pain
fate,
with faith to erase the pain
Love is a losing game, that's what they said,
so bring me your starving ones,
aint had no bread,
I've got something I can feed you from my fathers head,
it's a message with a treasure map
and it's written all in red.
Eyes all on me with the stars all follow,
hearts so lonely, with the stars,
we'll all swollow fate,
with faith to erase the pain
fate,
with faith to erase the pain
Everything is true,
All of it's a lie
Fate, with faith to erase the pain
fate,
with faith to erase the pain
Love is everything, that's what they said
I can give you medicine with sugar and water thread
sew up all your open wounds with words my father said,
it's a message with a treasure map and royal letter head,
Eyes all on me with the stars all follow,
hearts so lonely, with the stars,
we'll all swollow fate,
with faith to erase the pain
fate,
with faith to erase the pain

Proper Sweet
04:45
|
|||
Oh God I don't have your answers
Oh God I just want to play
on a ship to the stars oh
going far away
moving through the distance
oh take me all the way
It'd be proper sweet
if you could see all the flaws in me
and it'd be proper sweet
if you could try to love me anyway
we're on a ship to the stars oh
going far away
take us through the distance
take us all the way
I know you don't always think the same
as I do with everything
but I know we're here
and we're here together
I know you don't always feel
the same as I feel with everything
that's what makes us different
no one here is the same
finite minds can't understand infinity
we just know we're here
and we're here together
maybe we cant even hope to find divinity
maybe it's not here but we'll search forever
It'd be proper sweet
if you could see all the flaws in me
and it'd be proper sweet
if you could try to love me anyway

Dancin Shoes

with you, I was a wave,
this love, has is a silly game,
a mountain of water as it came,
my heart, has a silly way
Flood this ocean, with flowers in spring,
move these emotions while dancing on strings,
come down the river all gentle we cruise,
out in the ocean in dancin' shoes
Dancin' Shoes
I got water on my heels
For you, I was the sand,
this love, it trickles through your hands,
underneath a mountain, rising where you stand
this love's not simple babe and your a simple
kind of man
bury this treasure so deep on the shore,
move these emotions while dancing the floor
come down the mountain
lay gentle we snooze,
out on the ocean in dancin' shoes
got sand on my heels
got sand on my heels
in dancin' shoes
got sand on my heels
in dancin' shoes
ooooo
Flood this ocean, with flowers in spring,
move these emotions while dancing on strings,
all gentle we cruise
out to the ocean in dancin' shoes
I got water on my heels

Back Roads
05:03
|
|||
I give up
and I give in
I'm not comfortable in my own damn skin
these roads are crowded and these
thoughts are heavy
and I don't expect anyone of you to get me
I'll follow the signs
I'll go where my heart goes
I may leave you behind cause
I'm taking the back roads
oh oh I'll go where my heart goes
oh oh I'm taking the back roads
The stars are shining
there's no one around
the wind is grinding
but it's not bringing me down
this world is crowded
and these thoughts are heavy
and I don't expect anybody here to save me
they're all looking for something
and they think that it's easy
but love is hard can't buy it believe me
oh oh I'll go where my heart goes
oh oh I'm taking the back roads
in this pseudo-life
for this pseudosun
live your life by the rule of no one
all these lies livin in disguise
manifest the pieces into a whole one
it's a pseudo-life
feeling half alive
got red in my eyes and I'm feeling
the bull run
all these tries oh I'm gonna try
driving the back roads
I'm here for the long run
I give up and I give in
oh oh I'll go where my heart goes
oh oh I'm taking the back roads
