Elevated Man 04:28
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

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

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

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
