01. Blue Ocean - Lyrics:
In a momentary place
It was written on the wall
But it never really came to us at all
It's an elementary thing
The answer to the call
That will lead us to the great unending hall
With a wheel of emotion
That is always turning
Landing where it may
As the world moves forward
To a new beginning
Still I feel this way
Take me...
Out where the river meets the sea
To the city made of glass
Where our emptiness is gone at last
Take me...
To a world beyond our space and time
Under the crystal water sky
Where we never have to say goodbye
When life never seems to fit
Anything you do seems wrong
And the good don't ever last for very long
Call it miracle or fate
Either one has long since gone
But there's just enough to keep you hangin' on
With your world in commotion
And your senses telling
There is so much more
And with every emotion
Your timeline's screamin'
Running through the door
Take me...
Out where the river meets the sea
To the city made of glass
Where our emptiness is gone at last
Take me...
To a world beyond our space and time
Under the crystal water sky
Where we never have to say goodbye
Blue ocean, take away my memory
Blue ocean, make it the way it's gonna be
With your world in commotion
And your senses telling
There is so much more
And with every emotion
Your timeline's screamin'
Running through the door
Take me...
Out where the river meets the sea
To the city made of glass
Where our emptiness is gone at last
Take me...
To a world beyond our space and time
Under the crystal water sky
Where we never have to say goodbye
Blue ocean, take away my memory
Blue ocean, make it the way it's gonna be.
02. Shoulda Coulda Woulda - Lyrics:
Hangin' on a flag pole
Lookin' like a freak show
Everyone of us has done it
Jumpin' into sinkin' sand
Tryin' to forget it
Blamin' someone else
"They made me do it"
Shedding every ounce of faith
Sucking every cell away
Caving into every impulse
Stuck inside this lonely face
Hiding every scar (and) stain
Busted in a Tarantino movie
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, shut up
I wished I kept my mouth shut
'Cause I can't change anything I did
Every secret that I hide
Keeps me locked up deep inside
Starin' at the future
Draggin' every footstep
Maybe there's another way out
Tell me there's another place
Tell me there's another day
Tell me there's another way out
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, shut up
I wished I kept my mouth shut
'Cause I can't change anything I did
Every secret that I hide
Keeps me locked up deep inside
Wanna reach back...
I'll start in the center
I'll work in a mirror
Want somethin' for lust
I'll run from the lust
I'll wake in the mornin'
Walk in the sunlight
Never again, no regrets
Nothin' to make me say I...
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, shut up
I wished I kept my mouth shut
'Cause I can't change anything I did
Every secret that I hide
Keeps me locked up deep inside.
03. Kayla - Lyrics:
Lost in a sea of pain
Feel like a hole in the wall
Need a change of pace
So let's forget who we are
Look through a foggy lens
As the lines break down
And the never-end
Can begin, right now
All the dark will disappear
Kayla, Kayla
Silent dreams will fill the air
Kayla, Kayla
You are the beauty of
A place long gone
When you touch my hand
And we forget who we are
All the dark will disappear
Kayla, Kayla
Silent dreams will fill the air
Kayla, Kayla
Love ignites when we are here
Kayla, Kayla
Never wake and never fear
Kayla, Kayla
Oh, come to a place where you want to stay
(The world is blind)
Oh, darkness will leave you along the way
(Darkness will leave you for all time)
Oh, come to this place and let's not go back
(Let's stay for all time)
Oh, swirlin' a world where there is no lack
(There is no lack)
All the dark will disappear
Kayla, Kayla
Silent dreams will fill the air
Kayla, Kayla
Love ignites when we're here
Kayla, Kayla
Never waken, never fear
Kayla, Kayla.
04. The Storm - Lyrics:
There was a time
When my life was easy
Stretched out in the sun
Everything was clover
The world was off my shoulders for awhile
But then the sky turned a bomb fire shade
And hit me like a gun
It passed with flying colors
There's no flying over...
The storm...
We will dance as it breaks
The storm...
It will give as it takes
And all of our pain is washed away
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm
Sometimes we get swept away
We're forced to take the change
The desert gives you comfort
You can't stay here all your wounded life
Underneath is the tempest rage
Your secrets come undone
When mountains need movin'
Let me help you through it
The storm...
We will dance as it breaks
The storm...
Comes as fast as it fades
And all of our pain is washed away
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm
All your secrets come undone
Every web you've ever spun
All your secrets come undone
Let'em go
Let it come...
The storm...
We will dance as it breaks
The storm...
Gives you more than it takes
And all of our pain is washed away
Stare chaos in the face
We need only to embrace
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm.
05. Forever In A Daze - Lyrics:
Watch you walk into the room so smooth
And it cuts me like a diamond
A spiritual reaction ensues
And you're tryin' hard to fight it
Your eyes are echoing my name
Calling me to your castle
And we begin to magnetize
Drawing ever closer
I'm your fire
I'm your fortress
You turn me into a thousand horses
You're my heartbeat
My beautiful dream
You don't even know my name and you got me
Loving you forever in a daze
Enveloped in liquid air
You're holding hostage every stare
Sealing up every escape
For your love, I will give my life
To the venomous viper
I'll turn your soiled dress to white
And get you ready for the morning
I'm your fire
I'm your fortress
You turn me into a thousand horses
You're my heartbeat
My beautiful dream
You don't even know my name and you got me
Loving you forever in a daze
Thank you for the gift
Of giving me a lift
Like a space cartoon
You take me to the moon
Give me just one day
And I will free your mind
Take your lined up faith
And throw it outta time
I'm your fire
I'm your fortress
You turn me into a thousand horses
You're my heartbeat
My beautiful dream
You don't even know my name and you got me
You don't even know my name and you got me
Loving you forever in a daze.
06. Love Is What I'm Waiting For - Lyrics:
Don't want to fight about the money we spent
About the things that we did
About you leaving all the lights on
Don't want to talk about the singer again
And all notes that he missed
'Cause he always sings the wrong ones
And I'm sleeping in a similar state
But for this I swore I'd wake
Love is what I'm waiting for
Come and then I'll start a war
Love will change what you're waiting for
Love is what I'm waiting for
And everyone cheers for the winners that win
And every giver who gives
While all the losers sing the fight song
And everyone sits on the edge of their seat
While the contenders compete
And I'm still waiting for the right one
Love is what I'm waiting for
Come and then I'll start a war
Love will change what you're waiting for
Love is what I'm waiting for
There'll come a time
A drop of rain that always knew
It would fall into the sea of blue
And cause the sun to shine
Around the bend with lightnin' eyes
They will light your heart on fire again
Love is what I'm waiting for
Come and then I'll start a war
Love will change what you're waiting for
Love is what I'm waiting for
Hey, give it out, give it up, get it in
Hey, give it out, give it up, get it in
Love is what I'm waiting for
Come and then I'll end a war
Love will change what you're waiting for
Love is what I'm waiting for.
07. Everything Changes - Lyrics:
So you've found a place you can crawl
I know it's never easy
To live inside a broken heart
Live inside a broken heart
Food just doesn't taste quite the same
Living in a basement
You're fast asleep and never found
Like you never were around
Weighed down, traveler
Now you've got nothing to lose
Wade out, in the water
Don't leave 'til everything changes you
Somewhere on the journey
You lost the will to keep on going, well
Everybody falls apart
Everybody falls apart
Sometimes we must risk all we have
To get to our Eden
Sometimes we're drowning in the blue
Takes everything to make it through
Weighed down, traveler
Now you've got nothing to lose
Wade out, in the water
Don't leave til everything changes
The wind blows the rain through the grass
As the time slows like an old friend
Listless you let go your grasp
And there's rainbows as the road ends
Yet again
Weighed down, traveler
Now you've got nothing to lose
Wait awhile, stay awhile
Majesty's found in this place
Now you've got nothing to lose
Wade out, in the water
Don't leave til everything changes you.
08. Better Than Walking Away - Lyrics:
You learn to lead from your father
But you blamed yourself when he walked off
Sometimes you hold your child like the last one
Then you find yourself trying to stay gone
Rage is a game for the lonely
Love is the mercy we need
It's better than walkin' away
It's better than walkin' away
Sometimes it's harder to stay
Than walkin' away from it all
Holding hands at the table
A kiss goodnight with the light on
Sunrise, words and a coffee
You miss it all just to feel free
Fear is a thief to the family
Brave is the one on his knees
It's better than walkin' away
It's better than walkin' away
Love is the price that we pay
Walkin' away from it all
Rage is a game for the lonely
War is a front for our greed
Love makes a way but it only
Heals when we stay while we bleed
It's better than walkin' away
It's better than walkin' away
So many reasons to stay
So walk in and wait, for it all.
09. All Falls Down - Lyrics:
Red knights coming to Rome
Blood in the streets
Kingdoms die overthrown
Lay down your lives or be slaves to a fool
When it all falls down
Freedom stolen in sight
Do you love destruction or do you want life?
He who is faithful from ashes will rise
When it all falls down
Wake up, chosen ones
Stand up, fight for love
Where lies your treasure
So shall you become
When it all falls down
Wake up, chosen ones
Stand up, fight for love
Where lies your treasure
So shall you become
When it all falls down
Wake up, chosen ones
Stand up, fight for love
Where lies your treasure
So shall you become
When it all falls down.
10. Fool In My Heart - Lyrics:
There's a fool in my heart
Who denies what he sees
Who thinks that one day he will stand, though he's cut to his knees
Though he lost and alone
He always believes
That one day his love will return and he'll find what he needs
Will you be alone
In the place you call home?
Locked away
I will stay with my memories
Will you be alright
In the dark of the night?
I'll be cool
'Cause this fool keeps me company
There's a fool in my heart
That will never let go
But there is still something that I really want you to know
I always will love you
Forever, I will
And though it's been years since you left me
This fool loves you still
Will you be alone
In the place you call home?
Locked away
I will stay with my memories
Will you be alright
In the dark of the night?
I'll be cool
'Cause this fool keeps me company
So many times, I just wake up and shine
Can you feel it coming?
Comin' over and over and over, again
Will you be alone
In the place you call home?
Locked away
I will stay with my memories
Will you be alright
In the dark of the night?
I'll be cool
'Cause this fool keeps me company
There's a fool in my heart that will never let go.
11. Infinite Fire - Lyrics:
Bitter land of sight unseen
Awaken at the altar...
A simple man, a single dream; to live and never falter
Back from the seas, he had to sail
As time had slipped away now
He lands in a place of mystery; there's no way he can stay now
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
One more chance to fight the fire
That's raging through the forest
The water here's in short supply; there's no way he can store it
Reaching out across the swirl
The wind is a restless danger
Soon he'll reach the water's edge, and no more be a stranger
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
Bitter land of sight unseen
The winter sun is so extreme
We're seeking something different today
Light the lamp from in the earth
A nation from eternal birth
Hold before me absolute sway
Cover me in dust
And hide me now
As light and sound
Come trickling down
Giants turn to rust
It's all going down
Back to the ground
Still I can hear the sound...
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
Seasons and times may take you over
Lead to you places you wouldn't go
So many seeds sown by the sower
Infinite fire come turn us to gold
Seasons and times may take you over
Lead you to places you wouldn't go
Seasons and times may take you over
Lead you to places you would never go.
