Opportunities
02:03

All of those times
Someone looks you in the eye saying "see you sometime"
Whatever could be
Potential futures forever gone
What could one second
Either early or ever late reveal to us
Opportunities missed
You've got to try and kiss them goodbye
others will find you
Need to try and see them for what they are…
Our lives will pass
Without the chance to kiss those lips
The days will fade
Without the sight to see the stars
Unsteady now
Sand through your fingers as you bury your head
Opportunities missed
You've got to try and kiss them goodbye
others will find you
Need to try and see them for what they are…

Bearing The Weight
03:48
|

|
Extended on all fronts
Its hard to breathe with ease
Starting to feel the weight
One hundred thousand heels
Bearing the weight
Until it breaks a-way
A neverending tale
Hoping for better days
Grasping for what will be
Running in an endless maze
Pick up what's left
Begin to race ahead
Bare bones
Exposed to light
Warm sun
Simply alive
Arms full of supple fruits
Will make you lay down roots
Heavy acumen
Might never soar a-gain
Bearing the weight
Until it breaks
Pick up whats left
begin to race ahead
Which way to turn
where to go now
Which way to turn
where to go now
Which way to turn (limp on last legs)
where to go now (limp on last legs)
Which way to turn (limp on last legs)
where to go now (limp on last legs)
Which way to turn (limp on last legs)
where to go now (limp on last legs)
Extended on all fronts
Its hard to breathe with ease
Starting to feel the weight
One hundred thousand heels
Bearing the weight
Until it breaks
Pick up whats left
begin to race
Warm bones bright sun
Barely alive
Warm light will give
The hope to live

Stare Through Lead
05:05
|
|||
|
Haven't laughed in forever
Missing part leaves me empty
Shell thin and hard
Is my protection
But I can't draw my head in
I stare ahead
Fuzz out the scene
I stare through lead
But what have I seen
Can do nothing more
Can't even grasp
This intangible feeling
Must be despair
With no emotion at all
Holding in what I want to release
Not sure of this gnawing feeling
Twisted and tight
Is not forgiving
So apathetic I can be
I stare ahead
Fuzz out the scene
I stare through lead
But what have i seen
Can do nothing more
Can't even grasp
This intangible feeling
Must be despair
With no emotion at all

Colors To See
03:35

Rose-colored sweet euphoria coming over me
Rose-colored fractal majesty bending in the breeze
To the day…and the way it will be
The day…my choices out to see
The day…passing right through me
Green-tinted glass will help to cast light favorably
Green-tinted glass will focus all of my energy
for the day…and the way it will be
The day…my choices out to see
The day…smiling back at me
Sun-yellow light shines poppy bright illustrating the scene
Sun-yellow light will rest my mind revealing the means
To the day…and the way it will be
The day…my choices out to see
The day…passing right through me
Caress me,
infest me,
all colors…help me to see
Caress me,
infest me,
all colors…help me to be
Caress me,
infest me,
all colors…help you and me

Ba-Ba-ba-ba
One second
One minute
One day one…
Year end up
As fleeting moments
Drifting in the…
See so far
Deep green comfort
Mammals diving deep
Waves are breaking
Crests are falling
Floating and care-free
Tiny organs
Millions of them
Invisible to me
Feelings as wide
Deep majestic
Curious to…
Sea turtle
Grace in motion
Swimming in deep…
Green and shiny
Taking last breathe
Washed up by the sea
Sun is setting
Tide is rising
Sand beneath my feet
It has passed on
A new beginning
Somewhere in the sea
Ba-Ba-ba-ba
Sun is setting
Tide is rising
Sand beneath my feet
It has passed on
A new beginning
Somewhere in the sea
Waves are breaking
Crests are falling
Below the ocean deep
Tiny organs
They surround you
Through the centuries

Wanting To Fly
02:47
|

|
My body fails me
Mind's slipping away
Blips and beeps and four gray walls
Are what's left me at my end of days
My Loves have left me
The passion is gone
I sit in this chair and know
I have lived too long
I want to fly
With the angels outside
Out of this chair
Go on my last ride
Too close to the sun
Burn up in the air
I want to fly
End all of my despair
We pledged to leave together
As we lived all those years
When it was my turn I measured
My fear of death and guilt from pleasure
My fear of death and guilt from pleasure
My fear of death and guilt from pleasure
I sit in this chair and know I lived too long
I sit in this chair and know I lived too long
I sit in this chair and know

Little things remind me of you
A word, a look, a small book of rhyme
After all this time you remain
In and out of my memory
Why does one become two
Division of an unpleasant sort
Suddenly everything is confused
One equals two equals nothing
Looking back is much too painful
Looking forward is pointless
Caught in the middle is numb and quiet
Denial of the truth that just is
Its true that time can heal all our wounds
And I look to the distant sunrise
We are still left wanting
Walking in the shades of the past
Looking back is much too painful
Looking forward is pointless
Caught in the middle is numb and quiet
Denial of the truth that just is
Little things remind me of you
Numb and quiet
Truth that just is
Looking back is much too painful

Year And A Day
03:16

Year and a day to be sure we will
I decided since the day I knew
Year and a day to be sure we will
I decided since the day I knew
The new, the old, the blue and the borrowed
The new, the old, the blue and the borrowed
Fall into the folds that comfort me
Fall into the waters, soothe me
Fall into the warm light, blinds me
See straight to the soul that binds me
See straight to the soul that binds me
Year and a day and beyond
decided before the day I was born
Year and a day and beyond
decided before the day I was born
Ancient is the tapestry's weave
Ancient is the tapestry's weave
Ancient is the tapestry's weave
Ancient
Fall into the folds that comfort me
Fall into the waters, soothe me
Fall into the warm light, blinds me
See straight to the soul that binds me
See straight to the soul that binds me
The common place
from which we draw
decides for us
where our threads will fall
The common place
from which we draw
decides for us
where our threads will fall
A year and a day
to find our fate
A year and a day
to find our fate
Fall into the folds that comfort me
Fall into the waters, soothe me
Fall into the warm light, blinds me
See straight to the soul that binds me
See straight to the soul that binds me

Infidels

Infidels written into the score
come to expect ‘round every corner
come to see you’re never right twice
wait for the sky to fall on its face again
and again, and again
You have done as she has done as he has done before
You have done as she has done as he has done before
Know the past and move on
know the gift to forgive
know no more and let go
move to this point don’t let it live
Meet my demands about me and my life
then I’ll take a stab at sharing yours
come to see that there’s no ultimatum here
expect to be let down for ultimate bliss again
and again, and again
You have done as she has done as he has done before
You have done as she has done as he has done before
Know the past and move on
know the gift to forgive
know no more and let go
move to this point don’t let it live
Know the past and move on
know the gift to forgive
know no more and let go
move to this point don’t let it live

Lingers

Is this it?
Is this all?
Seems only yesterday
We learned to crawl
Seeing my essence
in a blink of an eye
Question that lingers
Do you live only to die
Do you live only to die
If we had more time,
If we tried real hard
Could we right all of our wrongs
Done without thinking
Seen without seeing
Passing us right on by
As we were blinking
The past and the future
Becomes a small hard knot
Question that lingers
Could we have done differently?
As hindsight can always see
If we had more time,
If we tried real hard
Could we right all of our wrongs
Can we choose our time's life
But for the time being
The question still lingers
Do you live only to die
Do you live only to die
If we had more time,
If we tried real hard
Could we right all of our wrongs
As our gaze meets
The answer yet formless
Struggles to its feet
