(I want to be with you I want to be I I want to be with you I want to be) I plead softly in the night when I'm Lost in my bed I don't know if I'll go on like this I might rather be dead I've lost my love, I've lost my life I've lost my world to pain I would rather sleep forever Never to feel again In romance's grasp, at the mercy of my mind I can see quite clearly that I've been left behind So, I scream silently at night when I'm Hiding in my head I don't know if I can take this now, oh I would rather sleep instead Oh, I want to be with you I want to be I I want to be with you I hound to be I I need to be with you I Can't survive I need to be with you I'm running out of time I can't think I can't breathe Thoughts and thunder make me sweat Like it's a thousand degrees And I lay awake at night, oh Dreading the giant's tread Stepping upon my chest I fear I will lose my breath again I'm falling down, and I'm waking up I just want to be deep asleep Where my heart cannot erupt I want to be with you I fear to die I want to be with you I lay and cry I need to be with you I can't survive I need to be with you I need to be I I want to be with you I don't want to cry I want to be with you I want this life I need to be with you I can't survive I need to be with you I need your light

The Serpent 06:46
It is not by the means of a hurricane of deadly force of will, A grand and untouchable majesty of terror instilled, That fells great men; But the whims of cowards and fools Who submit to a life which means less than death And this alone makes them unworthy of sunrise. And insensate with rage I claw at the heart, I cry in solitude for that is where tears are strongest, And in solitude with tears whose force could rip the tide from its comfort Does the filigree of destiny collide with the burning of souls And the true sunrise of purpose illuminates a world So clearly, with a flash! Before being once again reduced, as the Bird of Wonder, Only to reappear when the pain once again has become too much to allow. Dug my grave, I've tied my net I've done something that I regret The barbs, white hot with hellfire flame Enclose around me, I hold the blame The lives I've tainted, the pain, the rot Corrupting my morals deep in my heart Years I've spent blackened and I must repent Though now I feel that my chances are spent I coil about the cause of my doom I rip through my flesh in the slithering gloom The knife in my ribcage was not made by man But by monster, by me, by my cowardly hand I shake with the pain and I quiver in fear I won't let them see it, I won't let them near They cannot approach me and not see the truth Stay back I say now, poison drips from my tooth! Oh one day, We will close the window in your room and you will simply lay there quietly And in that way, We will be all lifted from a burden that has plagued us far too long But to say, That we're happy with the way that things turned out is wrong, so wrong We just wanted You to have something to look onward to in life, oh how we've failed How many years have you walked? How many lies while you've talked? How many lies have you spoken, my friend? How many hearts have you broken? How many times have you failed me, my friend? Oh our friendship is nearing it's end How many times have you hid from your crimes? When will your folly end? I need to know all the deeds you have done I need to know who you are I cannot stand and abide this, my friend I do not know your true heart So tell me the lies you have spoken my friend Tell me your sorrows and woes Show me the hearts you have broken my friend Show me the tales and the ghost I will not stand and allow this to go on I cannot let you act in this show 'till you're gone I must inform you: you're done for, my friend You've failed us and we must exact recompense I stood by you through greater dangers! I allowed you a seat in my house and chambers! I took a stand and I held out my hand, And you, my friend, let me down!

(I was walking to the mezzanine) Excuse Me Sir! May I approach you in the crowd? Excuse me sir, May I talk to you out loud? Excuse me sir, I need to know something Excuse me sir, Who are you and what is your understanding? (Excuse me sir) Excuse me sir I would like a word with you 'Scuse me sir I would like to be heard by you Stop right there and hear me out or you'll regret it I'm the one who runs the show and you don't look athletic Silence crumbles in an alabaster rustling, close movements Selecting with greatest care their encumbrances, mourning not Soil in folds and clusters drifting away with life ignored: Such that the Forager sorrowfully has no use for Amidst whistling harmony of fore and background, bereavements Are shared through a scarcely agreeable method, logjam’s clot; Mountains are hopes and dreams reeled homebound, curtailment they teach. Forager takes no more, for there’s nothing in reach. I want to feel like I belong somewhere I want to meet someone who treats me fair I need to feel like I can succeed But how can I force myself to foolishly believe? Who are you? What are your dreams? What made you what you are today? Where's your heart? What makes your soul? When will you die and your body fray? How long have you lived? Where have you been? Just how far can you go? Do I love you? Do you love me? God, I am dying to know!

The Traveler 02:19
Everywhere I go, I find sorrow Everywhere I go, my pain is close behind Everywhere I go, I find sorrow Everywhere I go, my pain is close behind Everywhere I go, I find sorrow Everywhere I go, my pain is close behind Everywhere I go, I find sorrow Everywhere I go, my pain is close behind

Birdsong 08:37
The cataclysm slowly rises in my poor mind's freight Delivery delivered on a night so sealed by fate I close my mind and close my eyes and feel the cracking sky When birdsong falls to silence, useless I must fly You have every bit of reason to expect the world You have every scintillation spinning in your pearl But the mother of, the brother of, the family moving on away Gleaming hope of happiness put off for another day You have every right to leave me now and make your flight, the weather fair My birdsong falters now and you must carry on if you're to reach the morning air Oh you must reach out and find that which can render darkness clear Oh fly away, oh far away, far away from here We can blame it on external things if we choose to feel unwell But the currents welling up inside us prove we can't ignore this hell For I have wandered much too far away from you to reach you And I don't have the strength to carry back my body nor beseech you Of course it's no fault of your own, you ride upon your circumstance And you are in my eyes an angel, a joy that leaves my world entranced I cannot allow you now to be brought down by my foolish ways You shall not be ruined by my nihilism's plague I must move on and move away and attempt now to get better But first I here show my pain to you in this silent, sorrowful letter So I give you now the prisoners I was once among So you won't forget me and the hell that I've never broken free from You know that I wanna start to show them they're beat now But I gotta keep my cool and move only to appease now You know that I gotta start to think on my feet now You know that there are some things that I can't defeat now You know that I gotta find a way Find a way, a way away I would walk into a room of mumbling perplexity Where only I could move those standing if I weren't to think I would follow you into this room and give my best I would not let you be lost forever, I swear I'd never rest I would silence all my thoughts and I would give my all I would push and struggle there in gloom without a call For there I could not see nor hear but I would never fall I'd follow you, I'd follow you, I'd be there through it all You command me through your kindness, I cannot devolve You allow me peace in blindness, there's no greater call Than to fight with sheer ignorance, standing empty and tall I would give up everything I am to catch you when you fall You my dear are the greatest person I have ever met I cannot contain my happiness when I am near You my darling make my world light up when I'm by your side I would like you to be mine, oh for the rest of time

I Am Free 03:54
1- Awareness 2- Distinction 3- Multiplicity 4- Possibility 5- Probability 6- Iteration All diverge from one and none Don't be sad now I am free I have come to save ye I have come now to Lead you from the darkness I have come now to make you see I have come to save ye I have come now to Offer your atonement (Scatting) I won't find My way if I don't fill My fading Heart with power Oh my heart with power From within Gripped in the undertow (tick tick tick tick) Take your brazen hands and reach for a savior Lead me inside your mind So that I can learn What I know not: Who you are Don't let me fade away Let me be your friend Oh, I promise this We are better as one Don't be sad now I am free I have come to save ye I have come now to Lead you from the darkness I have come now to make you see I have come to save ye I have come now to Offer your atonement I have come now to help you see I have come to save ye I have come now to Offer your atonement Don't be sad now for I am free I have come to save ye I have come now to Take away the darkness in your heart! How do you fight against the darkness When the darkness is the world you're fighting for? How do you hold yourself to a standard When all 'round you that same standard seems ignored? Don't fear, don't fear, don't fear, don't fear For what you believe is true I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear Someday this world will make it up to you Oh, oh, oh You are the one You are the one You are the one We are the one Now we are Free!

Homebound 04:36
Just like the old door, turned into paddles I row my way down the stream I creak! Into the night They say life's a river That you're going down On and on, Homebound It's a solemn journey Without solid ground All you can ever do Is just try not to drown They say life's the soil On your burial mound Everything you've come from Is gone And the clouds will pass And the stars will shine When you breathe your last 'Till the end of time I've prayed away My fear of saying I can't remain On this planet So call today Don't stay away I need to say How much I love you It seems we're afraid To be forgotten But the truth is that this cycle Sets you free The water is smooth And soft as cotton Just the weight of your anchor Makes it hard to breathe They say life is a river It takes you home And it won't be long 'Till the end of the road It's solemn, this journey With nothing to hold All you can do Is live and breathe down the road Not knowing how the traffic will flow, Oh, flow Oh, flow Oh, flow I've paved my way Past my fears of the day When I can't remain On this planet So, call today Don't stray away I need to say How much I love you I'm proud to say I'm no longer afraid That I cannot Live on this Earth forever If down I lay If I die today Oh, I know my love Can never be severed I've prayed away My fears of saying I can't remain On this planet I'm no longer afraid And I'm proud to say I can smile today And say goodnight

Think high, think falling Set me free Think high, think falling It's meant to be I sigh, I'm crawling On my knees Think high, think falling It's my destiny Landing, post landing, in movement Heading off to some unknown place Fragments, pastel, Ignited memory through time and space Calls to me, beckons Like the fan on my ceiling It soothes me, Forgetting my sadness in seconds It was just outside Denver, I had hardly known the world But I looked on in amazement As that vision unfurled It moved on so quickly Stepping out into infinity It made me feel like I once more knew how to breathe I carried it with me, I knew its true face It revealed to me something That I can't replace It let me in on a secret, In on a feeling That no one and nothing again Could see It was gold in the sun, In the Colorado sun Where we stopped and we halted My brother! My brother! My brother! My brother then run! We went to a booth In gleaming daylight Clouds like pillows And the grass like flight And It moved me inside And it captured my mind And it stole 'way my breath And it felt so kind I can't say I know what I knew of it, (now/then) But I'm still craving and dumbfounded I cannot lie of it, it is my soul The grass in the sun by Denver which glowed A child, a booth, and his brother, sitting in the (*gibberish*) Swaying in freshly blown wind And the golden hue smiled, clouds and the sky Eyes and the voice that transcended time Fast forward I'm laying in bed all alone I've lost what I needed, I cannot atone I cannot receive my desire so great But that memory calls to me and ushers my fate The fan feels like wind outside Denver The bed feels like mountains of clouds Alabaster and gold and shining blue sky I was lost but now I am found!
