I Want To Be With You
02:52

(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!

Excuse Me, Sir!
02:46
|

(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!

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

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

I Once Was Lost
03:15
|
|||
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!
