1. Wings on a Burning Wind
A sip of that water, a breath you’ve been holding down
An eye full of wonder, a place you have not yet found
A riverless shore and a feeling you can’t keep numb
Just come meet the run, bird
The run
To the edge and all beneath it
And just try, just try
There’s no up if there’s no down
On the run
Just catch a drift
As you fall
You’ll fly down to the edge of the world
Then higher and higher
here’s a wind that comes
For everyone that waits
There’s a wind that binds
Every stone and every seabird
There’s a wind that burns
Everyone that dreams
Aiming for the higher ground
Will you ascend it?
Will you ascend it?
Or you’ll burn?
Sip of that water
Learn when to rest your wings
Hold as the winds stand still
Living is desire’s will
Learn as you live and breathe
Wings on a burning wind
There’s a wind that comes
There’s a wind that binds
There’s a wind that burns
When you’re aiming for the higher ground
There’s a wind that comes
For everyone that waits
There’s a wind that binds
Every stone and every seabird
There’s a wind that burns
Everyone that dreams
Aiming for the higher ground
Will you ascend it?
Will you ascend it?
Or you’ll burn?
2. In Silence
I’ve been waiting in silence
For everything to come through
Just like you
Staring down at the waters
Just facing the mirror you
Yes, I’m talking to you
Yes, I’m talking to you
I’ve been waiting in silence
Lost between false and true
Just like you
Don’t know what to believe in
Don’t know who to change into
Yet I’m talking to you
Don’t know what else to do
Straying through the neverlands
Trying to find where’s that ”in-between”
That we’re haunting
As we’re drowning
Eyes trained for black and white
And our hearts kept from ”here and now”
Here we’re roving
As we’re wondering on
What if… what if… what if…
Born into a waterfall
That’s faster than the time
That’s bigger than the space
Sucked in and thrown out
Beneath those skies where
There’s no one but the blind men leading you
But beneath those skies there
We’ll learn the wrongs and rights of
Being just you
Straying through the neverlands
Trying to find where’s that ”in-between”
That we’re haunting
As we’re drowning
Eyes trained for black and white
And our hearts kept from ”here and now”
Here we’re roving
Here we’re wondering on
Straying through the neverlands
Trying to find how to fit between
As we’re roaming
As we’re wondering
Is there an ”in-between”
Feels we’ve searched all the neverlands
Yet we’re roving
Yet we’re wondering on
What if we could?
But beneath those skies there
We’ll learn the real price of
Being just you
3. You Are But One
Help me up from the dirt, child (sincere)
Just to see you smile
Take me back to your world, child
‘Cause mine’s become all but sincere
Miles and miles away
A world that has gone insane
Is coming your way
To hurt, to lie, to betray,
To prey on what’s left sincere
There’s a path in this world, child (sincere)
That could spare your heart
It will scar, it will hurt, child
But let you walk away sincere
Times and times again
Just trying to be a better man
You’ll bleed from the heart
But years and years ahead
You’ll still keep your smile sincere
(And you)
Sometimes you will lose the sun
(Have no fear)
Sometimes you would trust no one
(With your tears)
Sometimes you’ll run toо far but remember
That you are, you are
You are but one
Tired and worn away
You’ll pray like you’ve gone insane
But stay on this path
It ends in a sacred place
That will save all you kept sincere
(And you)
Sometimes you’ll feel left behind
(In your fears)
Sometimes you will have no one
(But your tears)
Sometimes will be too sore to remember
But just trust, just trust
You are but one
4. Closer
Life’s so infusing now
It rushes up your spine
It makes your mind to become
So absorbed yet so bored
You’ve just seen its smile
Perhaps there’s so much more
Down where it takes you to
Frown away
It serves it all
In a handful of delight
Than eats your smile
To feed a constant pressure
It shuffles you
Until you come back crawling
But there’s a burning light
But there’s a yearning hope that sleeps inside
Right now
And there’s a hungry heart in you
And there’s a higher truth
that walks beside your dreamless nights
Through time
And as you’re slipping in much closer
To the fire in your eyes
You just start to feel alive again, alive again
Life’s so confusing now
Beneath the backdoor lights
You can’t make sense anymore
What more? What more?
Thrown from side to side
Perhaps a glimpse, no more
Maybe a breath or two
Till it comes again
Cheap on truth
It shepherds you beyond
It feeds your eyes
To stop your soul from longing
It shuffles you
Until it numbs your calling
But there’s that burning heart
And there that restless mind that keeps you up
All night
And there’s that burning light in you
And there’s that higher truth
that makes you feel you’re whole inside
Tonight
And as you’re slipping in much closer
To the fire in your eyes
You just start to feel alive again, alive again
It’s not your world
It’s not where you belong
Just keep your smile
But smile for those who earn it
And hand your heart
Only to the ones you burn with
There goes that burning light
There goes that hungry heart to wake you up
Tonight
There goes that everything that’s you
There goes that anything that you would do
to hold your ground
Through time
And if you feel it burning hot now
That’s the fire in your eyes
Then you know that you’re alive again,
alive again
5. On To The Sun
Shouldn’t have come to me again
You have had your chance of calling out my name
I am done staring down your gun
Shouldn’t have come to me again
Though it maybe seems impossible to you
I’ll dust off the dirt that’s holding me down
The shadows you cast me to
I’ll stay alive another day
I’ll find a place to be myself
Then fly away
To the end of all the ends
Then I’ll lay myself onto the sun
And I’ll stare at you, you everyone
That’s been telling me it’s impossible, impossible
Shouldn’t have come to me again
I have waited out for you to play your game
Your devil eyes can no longer hold my breath
‘Cause they have made me all I am
Though it maybe seems impossible to you
I’ve shattered the form you’ve put me into
And here I am back at you
I’ll stay alive another day
I’ll find a place to be myself
Then fly away
To the end of all the ends
Then I’ll lay myself onto the sun
And I’ll stare at you, you everyone
That’s been telling me it’s impossible, impossible
Just chase me down another day
And try your chains on me again
Come fly my way
To the star that’s in my name
And if you fly yourself across that sun
And you burn in flames like everyone
I’ll remind you it’s impossible, impossible
6. Thin Air
“My, oh my, look at him bleed”
(That’s the best you get out of them)
“I pray he will try better” (I wonder)
Have you slipped in the gutter?
Have you fallen from your grace?
“Eyes-off” compassion
“Hand on heart” to comprehend
And it falls behind after their glimpse
(Just satisfying their empathy)
A face that fades out dark and scrambled
(Let someone else help him)
Have you slept in the gutter?
Have you made not one mistake?
Your “eyes-off” compassion
Does it help in any way?
A song that’s been around
You hear it every time
When you’re bleeding
Running all-around
Trying to catch up with the sound
But it’s fading
Fading into thin air
Let all of them talk
Let all of them judge you
But nobody
Nobody listens
There’s more behind you
Let them learn life from living
They got to
This song has been around
You hear it every time
When you’re bleeding
Running all-around
Trying to catch up with the sound
But it’s fading
Fading into thin air
7. Witching Hour
It’s witching hour
The lights are gone
Your mind is curving shapes
You don’t recall
And there you see
The witches come
Nevermind, nevermind
Again you’re on your own
Eyes are closing while staring in the dark
The memories are gone, the future is dead
Yet there you are
So odd you cannot fuse
So mad you cannot defuse
Eyes keep falling in you palms
Hurt keeps growing past witching hour
It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been
Every hit you take
Every word you brake
I guess it’s time for you to know
What kind of friend you’re looking at
Before you walk away
‘Cause I’ll come find you always
When you need me I’ll be there
It’s witching hour
It can’t be wrong
The light keeps bringing you
A faceless dawn
Try, you might get bruised
Don’t try, you might not defuse
Eyes keep closing in the sun
Mind still frozen in witching hour
It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been
Every hit you take
Every word you brake
I guess it’s time for you to know
What kind of friend you’re looking at
Before you walk away
‘Cause I’ll come find you always
When you need me I’ll be there
Eyes can open for the sun
Eyes can still see past witching hour
It only matters who you are
And it matters how you mean
Every word you say
Every step you take
I guess it’s time for you to know
That there’s a friend you’re looking at
And just walk with it
And I’ll come find you always
When you need me I’ll be there
8. A Thousand Smiles
When the letters can’t make words
And there’s nothing I could say
Somehow always I’m to blame
And there is everything but me
When it’s burning around your gate
And I give all I can give, but still failing
If there’s nothing I could save
It’s time to get me off your way
Your eyes won’t let me in
Addicted I try, addicted I try
Your lips are frozen still
Addicted I try, yet I’ll try
If your heart just stopped beating this way
And you’re thousands of smiles away
There’s no reason for me to be there
Just cut my wings and fly away
When there’s no stone left unturned
Yet there’s nothing there you seek
Would you stay a moment more?
‘Cause that’s the last song I will sing
When it’s burning around your gate
Let me burn with it down, take me with you
I’ll be everything you hate
I’ll be everyone you blame
If your eyes won’t let me in
Addicted I’ll try, addicted I’ll try
If your lips are frozen still
Addicted I’ll try, yet I’ll try
If your heart just stopped beating this way
And you’re thousands of smiles away
And there is nothing but burden to share
There’s no reason for me to be there
Just cut my wings and fly
Cut my wings and fly away
Addicted I try, yet I try
Just sometimes words cannot explain
There are different hearts and ways
And there is no one but time to weigh
If there’s something that’s worth it to stay
‘Cause maybe sometimes we cannot understand
There’s a reason for us to be there
Maybe sometimes it hurts to wait
But if you think there’s a weight I can’t bare
Cut my wings and fly
