When I fell to this plane of existence I was shocked by the amount of resistance Of gravity Of society Of disparity Weighing down on these creatures called humanity So I went searching for anything To ease the suffering To elevate my alien consciousness So I may return home again I looked to the oceans deep The mountain rivers The forest peaks Through the glowing golden fields of wheat And what I found was a simple thing The vibration of a single string Voices raised in harmony The color of symphonies A bass and a beat reverberating Deep Deep Deep Deep inside of me If I ever need to return home again All I have to do Is listen

Teach Me 05:12
Let me walk beside you Let me feel the weight of your world Let me grasp at forever Feel what life could be like as your girl Let me whisper you sweet things I want to try out this new harmony I never felt so light When someone was holding me Teach me how to stay Teach me how to try Teach me how the mothers and the lovers Don't leave us all high and dry Me Well let's face it I've grown empty and cold Like a shell Vacant and hollow The ocean echoing in my soul But this This is a new thing I never felt a love so free Let me walk beside I want to taste each and every ending Teach me how to stay Teach me how to give Teach me how the mountains and the lakes and the apple trees Love where they live I'm gonna do the very best I can Give me strength Won't you hold my hand Oh what life could be like if you were my man But I can smell the smoke curling again But let me walk beside you Let me feel the weight of your world Let me grasp at forever Feel what life could be like as your girl Let me whisper you sweet things I want to try out this new harmony I never never felt so light When someone was loving me Teach me how to stay Teach me how to fly Teach me how to let the earth take my walls down And feel the tremor deep inside Oh won't you teach me Please please please Oh won't you teach me

And I feel Like my cells don't understand gravity Feel Like I left the earth far behind me Feel Like my cells don't understand gravity Tell me where the sidewalk ends Where luck changes around the bend Where lovers make amends Show me how to be a friend What's real and what's pretend When circumstances shift again And I feel Like my cells don't understand gravity Feel Like I left the earth far behind me Feel Like my cells don't understand gravity But I love you madly Give up all for you gladly Love you more than her And I love you truly Words that soothe me Falling into time Don't press rewind Don't press rewind For I feel Like my cells don't understand gravity Feel Like I left the earth far behind me Feel Like my cells don't understand gravity

Walking the streets Feel the waves of the world wash on by The weathered signs The purple rain The constant rush of 'Hello' and 'Goodbyes' The people don't know Yes the people don't know That you're floating a thousand feet high Feeling Alive Walking the streets Feel the wind pushing you around the track Walking the streets Feel the sunshine breaking through every sidewalk crack How long has it been Since you felt anything How long has it been Since you felt anything at all? And it's alright This Feeling Alive Walking the streets The bridges have names Hear the stories they tell The skyscrapers bulk and stare Not used to this sunnier self The sirens scream The babies cry But they don't know this internal sigh The subways rush And the crowds try to push you down But you're invincible now Feeling Alive

Follow 04:47
Follow me down To the sad side of town Behind the empty warehouse When no one is around We can fill up our veins We can alleviate the pain And we'll never have to feel again Now doesn't that sound fine Now whisper and hush This won't hurt much Settle your bones into the ground And follow me down Follow me down To the sad side of town All the drunkards know your name Price of freedom always the same And we can fill up our veins We can alleviate the pain And we'll never never have to feel again Oh now doesn't that sound fine Follow me down to the sad side of town Lay my corpse to rest In the shadow I loved the best And I promised you that day I could take I could take the pain away While I was living you would never hear me say But oh I think I was wrong I think I was wrong Oooo

Moon Dog 05:30
Tip the rocking chair Mami would have wanted you there But you never showed But the ground is fresh And the memory has kept Babe you're just a rolling stone You're just a pale moon dog Scratching round the forest tonight You're just a pale moon dog Trying to get it right You're trying to let it go You're trying to let it go You're trying to let it go You're trying to let it go Pick out a star We are gonna make it there Saturn's rings aren't far Just got to prepare Are you ready with your oars? We sailed the heavens a thousand times before You're just a pale moon dog Scratching round the forest tonight You're just a pale moon dog Trying but failing to get it right You're trying to let it go You're trying to let it go You got to let it go You got to let it go He promised me beautiful things Space travel, romance, and love without strings But you reap what you sow And all the lies have been told Now we're buried in the ground Just dust now We're just a pale moon dogs Scratching round the forest tonight We're just a pale moon dogs Trying but failing to get it right We're trying to let it go We're trying to let it go We got to let it go It's time to let it go

Don't Go 03:18
Don't go out tonight Moon's about to bite And the city lights are howling Don't go out tonight Another drink won't fix your life And my bed is wanting Stay awhile I keep thinking about the way you taste How your honey sweet kisses make my body shake Like the maple leaves when the southern breeze blow I'll follow you wherever you go But Baby Please don't go You make me feel love, love, love, love You make me feel love, love, love, love Don't go out tonight Moon's about to bite And the subways are growling Don't go out tonight Another woman won't fix your life And my heart it calling Stay awhile 'Cuz I just keep thinking about the way you taste How your honey sweet kisses make my body shake Like the maple leaves when the southern breeze blow I'll follow you wherever you go But Baby Please don't go You make me feel love, love, love, love You make me feel love, love, love, love Don't go out tonight Moon's about to bite And the city streets are restless wandering Don't go out tonight We could change each other's lives Yes our hearts are calling Stay awhile

Sun Bruises 06:39
The sun bruises my already aching skin No matter how far I run past the finish line I never seem to win The beggar keeps filling up his cup with coins from my purse He don't seem to get richer His habit just seems to get worse Cry out your window And I will hear you Cry out your window And I raise my head Cry out your window Alone in the moonlight It's good to know It's good to know We're all not dead yet He stirs when the sun meets the day Opens his eyes with a sweet happy sort of surprise Lingering smoke from the cigarettes he toked And he smiles my way It's good to know you can change Cry out your window You're not alone Cry out your window When you've hit sunk your teeth down to life's bone Cry out your window Alone in the moonlight It's good to know we all get to choose Whether we die or bloom And when you're confused Just cry out your window Cry out your window You're not alone Cry out your window When you've hit sunk your teeth down to life's bone Cry out your window Alone in the moonlight Someone hears your plight Someone's there for you tonight Someone's there for you tonight It's good to know It's good to know we all get to choose Whether we die or bloom When you're confused Cry out your window And I will hear you And I will hear you

Pieces 04:15
Pieces of you Burnt in my brain Every season autographed by this rain Every feeling covered in blood and doubt Good thing I'm a wanderer Used to doing without you I set the table with roses and prose The train keeps on shaking All the ink from my soul And all along the way I cling to the sound Of he hurried breathe As I drive my pen down Hello World! It's me do you hear I'm already faded Don't let me disappear I'm already dying I'm already dying I'm already dead Burn down the bridges On the side of the road Tear up the headlines The news never knows We wound up singing A false melody Lies breeding deep Inside you and me Hello World! It's me do you hear I'm already faded Don't let me disappear I'm already dying I'm already dying I'm buried alive Can you light up the inside...? Can you light up the inside...? Can you light up the inside...?

Sidelines 03:22
Caught a chill running down my spine Searching for that heart of mine I got stuck on a dead end street Threw my body down at your feet My heart is heavy No one can carry Thrown to the sidelines On a sunny afternoon Fractured memory Disjointed harmony See something when you look at me Something like feeling Forgot how it could be to used the numbing My heart is heavy No one can carry Bullets are flying But you hold out your hand Maybe you could be my man Maybe you could be my man The city swallowed me whole Apocalypse of the soul Heavy bringing me down... And who am I now? You got stuck on a dead end street Found your body lying next to me Could barely make out a heart beat Under the shell you wear Your heart is heavy No one can carry But I love the touch of your hand Maybe you could be my man Hey maybe you could be my man Baby make me feel like I can

Believe 04:01
I'm Sitting in the rain waiting for your phone call Searching for the sun even when the snow falls Looking for the free lane after the traffic jam Still hoping to be your woman But you don't believe in love You don't believe in love You don't believe in love But babe believe in us We can rise above Daddy left when we were young Momma didn't give us hugs Empty beds and large bruises So you don't believe in love You don't believe in love You don't believe in love But babe believe in us For we can rise above Feel the change Rearrange the misconceptions in your mind Be the change rearrange See the world in a new light Baby you're sparkling The scar's come off fresh and clean Baby we can have everything Just have to Believe Believe Believe It's time to believe in love Let's make believe in love I'll help you believe in love If we believe in love We can rise above... And I'm sitting in the rain waiting for your phone call

All the scars that you carry All the mistakes you bury Every crooked lie out your crooked mouth Every damn spot that won't come out You're breaking all the way down You're screaming but your lips don't make a sound You're Fucked up and Broken But you're Beautiful Fucked up and Broken But darling so is this world You're Fucked Up and Broken But you're Beautiful tonight In my eyes My mistakes come and go cyclical help me grow somehow now my whole m o is sorta drew drawn doubt in cray on no play on word seance shook out dirty clothes still thinkin cleanin feelins then the weekend comes repeating meanin of not good enough but its getting better all the time and I couln’t fall in line if my rhyme wasa colorin book I’m flyin Lying on the bathroom floor Bleeding out Forgot what you stood for Head racing as your heart beat pounds You're breaking all the way down You're screaming but your lips don't make a sound You're Fucked up and Broken But you're Beautiful Fucked up and Broken But darling so is this world You're Fucked Up and Broken But you're Beautiful tonight In my eyes This life is vulnerable Fucked Up, Broken, and Beautiful This life is wonderful Fucked Up, Broken, and Beautiful Lights flashing feelings flicker in and out As the carousel rushes round Reasoning quickly running out And you're left with the sound This life is vulnerable Fucked Up, Broken, and Beautiful This life is wonderful Fucked Up, Broken, and Beautiful This life is wonderful Fucked Up, Broken, and Beautiful Fucked Up and Broken Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful... You're Fucked up and Broken But darling so is this world You're Fucked Up and Broken You are Beautiful

Headlights 04:13
We drove all night With the headlights off You closed your eyes Like feeling lost The mountains rose And the oceans swam Try to rediscover Just who I am At least you got someone To need you when you are needing At least you got someone To hold you when you are holding on At least you got someone To try when the world gets trying You always got me and the dawn You left behind your habits And I left behind my wounds Our only map now Are the stars and the moon And you waved goodbye and we shout hello Hello! They don't understand But this journey they know At least you got someone To need you when you are needing At least you got someone To hold you when you are holding on At least you got someone To try when the world gets trying You always got me and the dawn Dawn...
