Elevated Man

Good, much too good
So much so, it makes you wonder
Out on a limb
Every day, every night, night and day
Check, one, two, check
Pinch yourself, don't forget
That you're a man in a lawn chair
Rising in the air
Elevated man, the winds at your command
Soaring through the heavens up above
Out, so far out
There's no point in looking back
High, far above the world
Lies a man with his head in the clouds
Check, one, two, check
Sixteen thousand feet
I can't believe my eyes
But there's a man in a lawn chair
Floating in the air
Elevated man, the winds at his command
Soaring through the heavens up above

Lay Down
04:16
|
|||
|
You have gone back and forth now for so long
You have stood at the crossroad since dawn
You were once a child who broke all the rules
You are now a man afraid to lose
Lay down your weapon
Lay down your fear
You have seen through the eyes of someone else
You have walked down a path that was not your own
You were once a child who knew how to play
You are now a man frozen in place
Lay down your weapon
Lay down your fear

Bent Out of Shape
03:31

What do you do when you're wrapped in a dream
And the dream has frayed
A stranger now sits at the table
Where you once presided
Where conversation always flowed
You now stand deserted – bent out of shape
Where do you hide when your dreams
Are exposed to the harsh light of day
Awake in your sleep, half asleep wide awake
Sleepwalking in a haze
Like a tree after the fall barren and forsaken
Like a shadow on the wall grotesquely distorted
Your world is bent out of shape
Hunched over laptops and faceless pages
Longing for someone to reach
Searching for life in all the wrong places
Nothing can take its place
Looking to catch the next wave
In the junkyard of cyberspace
Life is passing you by in the blink of an eye
So run out the door, run for your life
Fly down the stairs and over the gate
Into the streets and out of the city
Past the old man with a grin on his face
Over the hills, into the fields
Right up to the edge of the world
Where no one can hurt you and nothing can harm you
Once you make that leap of faith
Make that leap of faith!

Unspoken
04:10
|

|
We plow the fields of our ancestors
From dawn to dusk we carry on
At night we dream of golden slumber
And dig for nuggets up the river
We spin the wheels of time and fortune
To make the perfect moment last forever
The silence between us is worth a thousand words
It fills the space that fate has long forgotten
The silence between us makes no promises
It holds a virtue better left unspoken
Do we ever truly recover
Or does the date simply expire
To make the most of it
We take the route we take
In a paper glider over water
A gust of wind will sometimes lift us higher
The silence between us is worth a thousand words
It fills the space that fate has long forgotten
The silence between us makes no promises
It holds a virtue better left unspoken

Sweet Sarah Ruth

Is it true sweet Sarah Ruth
Was my love blind enough for three
You left me standing in the shower this morning
With my thoughts pouring down the drain
Tell me now, I need to know
Does my love mean anything to you
You've walked through the streets of the city
Hand in hand with another man
Did you take him places
You've never taken me
Did you spare your kisses
Or did he steal them all from me
Isn't true sweet Sarah Ruth
That my love was blind enough for three

Peace of Mind
03:52
|
|||
|
Songs that bind the times
Remain the same
Thoughts that rule the mind
Don't seem to change
Peace of mind will come in waves
Let it right inside your brain
It feels good it's insane
Peace of mind there's no more weight
Feel the lightness in your brain
So damn good it's insane
Weightless drops suspended out in space
Magnify the ties that bind us all together
Strings of thought flowing through our veins
Weave themselves into one another
Peace of mind will come in waves
Let it ride inside your brain
It feels good it's insane
Peace of mind there's no more wait
Feel the lightness in your brain
So damn good it's insane

Whirlwind
04:45
|
|||
|
Drops of rain hanging onto the window pane
As dawn tries to break through the madness
Streetlights shining through empty bottle and glasses
A skyline full of ghosts and vacant promises
Look to the sky for divine intervention
Search for a star, a sense of direction
Maybe the gods will grant you a vision
In time you will find what you seek, get what you need
You're caught in a whirlwind – endlessly spinning
You're caught in a whirlwind – welcome to the living
Watch your step, be sure to keep your eyes on the prize
As you reach out to this life
As you reach out to the wounded
No one here has any claim over you now
You're free as a bird and feeling the burden
Turn to heavens, pledge your devotion
Look for a sign, a sense of connection
Maybe the gods will answer your prayers in time
You will find what you seek, get what you need
You're caught in a whirlwind – endlessly spinning
You're caught in a whirlwind – welcome to the living
You're scared and lonely adrift in the wind
Scared and lonely adrift in the wind
Light as a feather, endlessly caught in a whirlwind

You Can Run
04:00
|

|
Danger is lying just out of sight
There's no denying its appetite
Get set, can't you see it coming through
Don't fret if it looks a bit like you
Don't keep a secret from your own ears
That kind of con can drag on for years
Bad dreams aren't all that they appear
They mean nothing next to your own tears
You can run
You can run in place 'til you're out of breath
'Til you're blue in the face
But the view you embrace says you'll never be satisfied
You can run, you can hide
In the skin you're in it's a sin to decide
That the rest of the ride is a never ending drop
You just don't stop
Sometimes the story runs in reverse
Starts at the end and keeps getting worse
Blind faith is hovering above your heart
Don't wait until it's too late to start
You can run
You can run in place 'til you're out of breath
'Til you're blue in the face
But the view you embrace says you'll never be satisfied
You can run, you can hide
In the skin you're in it's a sin to decide
That the rest of the ride is a never ending drop
You just don't stop

Broken Glass
03:10
|

|
Listening to the sound of water
Walking in the rain tonight
Darkness cannot ease the pain
Fill the void in my heart
Static breaking up the headlines
Running circles in my head
Man found drowned in sorrow
By the riverbed
Looking at the world through broken glass
I can't seem to put the pieces back
Yesterday's gone and a thousand tomorrows
Couldn't bring you back
Making my way to the tower
Seeking refuge, finding shelter
When the very thought of you
Hits me like friendly fire
Looking at the world through broken glass
I can't seem to put the pieces back
Nothing I can do will change the fact that
Yesterday's gone and a thousand tomorrows
Couldn't bring you back

'Tis
03:33
|

|
'Tis under my skin
'Tis out of my hands
Boundless and free
Fragile and mighty
Perfect as can be
'Tis now and always will be
'Tis patient and willing
Yours for the taking
Mine for the giving
Ours for the living
'Tis my love for you
'Tis bathing in light
From the rays glowing in my heart
Made of nothing
Timeless and free
Perfect as can be for you and me
'Tis my love for you
