Shore 06:36
Here it comes another swell Dragging me down into the drink I’m not sure but knowing my heart it will sink I hope that I land gently, gently Here it comes another drink Dragging me down into deep sleep I’m not sure but knowing my heart it will weep Please let me down gently, gently now. There is a sea deep inside of me I don’t know what it’s for I cross the waves most every night In hopes just to find a shore

The Maze 06:38
The secrets are all told by rustling leaves, but no one knows just who they’re telling We do believe the words will hold a key, but no one knows the door that it will open But, if you would just say those words to me, I would give back all the phrases that I’ve stolen It’s simple but it’s so hard to explain how easily we get lost out in the open You’ll see what you want to see You’ll hear what you want to hear The walls are slowly closing in, or else we’re walking through them As if they’re even there The room are all full of swollen air, but no one shows a desire to force them open The doors are all closed with anxious care, and our fear grows the storms hidden behind them But if I could just peek in on you there I would give back all the glimpses that I’ve stolen And then the doors would all open up to me, and we would see all the things that are worth knowing You’ll see what you want to see You’ll hear what you want to hear The walls are slowly closing in, or else we’re walking through them As if they’re even there

Statues 06:36
It seems to me like we struggle to be We are like statues brought to life by the thunder and a scream Of a mother who is down to her last dollar on this earth Crouched over fires until she sees that her life ain’t what it’s worth Days follow days, follow nights and again We hide the truth in their wake Nights swell with hopes that the days burn away Leaving behind what we then take But I’ll try everything to hold onto anything That keeps me warm when I’m stoic and frozen I’ll keep chiseling away at everything Until I can see the perfect form So, why do we stand devoted to our courtyard demise We’ll fade away as the time erodes the cosmos from our eyes When we could follow titans on a road to hell and back We’d torch the devils in hopes to steal back all the courage that we lack Days follow days, follow nights and again We hide the truth in their wake Nights swell with hopes that the days burn away Leaving behind what we then take But I’ll try everything to hold onto anything That keeps me warm when I’m stoic and frozen I’ll keep chiseling away at everything Until I can see the perfect form

Twin Rivers 06:36
I've been sleeping all day, trying to dream up some kind of way that my arms could grow around you like a tree. Steady and strong, as the years tack worries on, you could lay them all on me as my limbs creak in the breeze. The leaves would fall like silver in your hair. I've been thinking all day, how those tears rolled down your face like twin rivers that could only bear you away. But, no matter how hard I try, I'm just a tree on the riverside. Watching as you drift away from me. I've been dreaming all day, that the rainy season came. The banks of both those rivers began to rise. I felt the water on my skin and then those rivers fell again, but this is what keeps me here on these banks for all these years, just wishing for the day you finally pull me in.

And tonight, we’ll be alright And tonight, we’ll be alright Forget the sagas you are writing and the magic that you are striving to believe and just be Forget the grayness you are figthing and the demons that are hiding in your dreams and just be We’re all wishing for a better life, but everyone’s life is what it is Everyone’s life is always just beginning, but we keep wishing for the end. But tonight, we’ll be alright And tonight, we’ll be alright Forget the illness you are hiding and the sadness you are striving to conceive and just be Forget the madness that is thriving and believing you're just something to perceive and just be We’re all wishing for a better life, but everyone’s life is what it is Everyone’s life is always just beginning, so stop your wishing for the end. And tonight we'll be alright And tonight we'll be alright

Holy Moses 06:36
It was a pretty cool day for the middle of August Crowd making way like a sea we were parting As you pulled me through you still wouldn’t answer why You couldn’t even look me in the eye Your sad sad mind it kept on darting My darling To & Fro I haven’t figured it out, but I think that I’m learning Passing thoughts through the air like a bush we were burning You pointed at me any gently tugged my tie You said it was not for me to question why Your smokey ghost eyes they kept on darting My Darling To & Fro
