01. Everything Falls

Chorus:

Everything falls as it comes to it's end,

not everything can be built up again,

but once in a while the debris from the crash,

creates fertile soil in the ash (x2)

Verse 1:

What may fade from you, can't remake or undo,

but now a space has shown through, to fill with parts of something new,

lessons from the mistakes, less branches that can break,

there's more plans left to be made, they wait for you to let them through

(Instrumental Section)

(Chorus)

Verse 2:

What may work for you me, may not work for you,

a wish won't always come true, there is no guarantee that's due,

but sometimes what you don't see, is standing right behind you,

waiting for it's chance to, bring itself into your view

(Instrumental Section) 

(Chorus)

02. I Do

Verse 1:

Many days it's been an act, I choose to wear this blank expression,

So you think there's no impact, I don't respond well to suggestion,

try to keep myself intact, don't want to give certain impressions,

deep inside I do react, and take it in, here's my confession

Chorus:

I do care what you say, care what you think,

it means more than you know,

I don't know why I do the things that I do,

why I can't let it show

Verse 2:

Is it because I'm afraid, you'll undo progress I made?

or that pointing out the truth, it will make me change my views?

Maybe I just can't admit it yet, that I'm not perfect and no one is,

but for now just know I'm listening, I'm too used to hiding it

Bridge:

It's a game, that we play

that we play

(Chorus x2)

03. Winter Flowers

Verse 1:

I wanna let you in but the room keeps getting smaller,

and the way you talk to me is more than comforting,

but I wanna bring it back, to days when -

a simple nod and grin was as much as I could muster,

because everything else added more complications

and I just can't deal with that, so I say -

Chorus:

Don't pick the roses from the bed,

'cause all that's left is gray and red,

but one by one these petals fall,

flowers in winter tend to stall

Verse 2:

I wanna let you in but it's tightening my collar,

and the way you look at me, it stuns but it's hurting,

'cause I just can't give it back, the truth is -

That every secret said is a knife that digs in deeper,

and the windows are breaking, foundation is shaking,

and all I hear is feedback, so I say -

(Chorus)

(Synth Solo)

(Chorus x2)

04. World of the Dreamer

Verse 1:

There is a flash and then a dream, a vision seen so clear and sheen,

a perfect imagining, utopia and it's serene,

place where I feel meant to be, where what I say it holds meaning,

I would trade reality, for this life of ecstasy

(Rap)

Never seen such vivid colors, never thought I'd ever get to witness wonder,

but after spending time inside it gives all other

experiences a lot less meaning so much to discover,

such a calming atmosphere, I can't go back to reality after here,

It's hard for me to focus and then have to care,

while knowing what I know now so I close my eyes and disappear 

Chorus: 

Here's to a life where I am never,

afraid to take whichever way around the lonely block that I choose,

to a life without the pressure,

where I don't need to weather all the restlessness that enters my view

Verse 2:

Those who live here live in peace, there's no war no bickering,

an openness without deceit, no signs of selfishness or greed,

slowly lost anxiety, confidence is broken free,

feel so at home and so complete, wish I could bring you here with me,

(Rap)

Truly something to behold, like a fairy tale that was never told,

never felt so fearless so unchained and bold,

the first time in my life I don't feel like I need to play a role,

can't find the words to describe,

the sense of freedom that I feel when I'm inside,

on a journey that feels like an endless ride,

wish it could last forever wish this place is where I could reside

(Chorus)

05. Two Weeks

Verse 1:

Island of two weeks, we had our trial,

happiest I'd been, in quite a while,

I felt so at peace when, I could make you smile,

sitting atop the clouds, still you took me higher,

you sat inside the studio,

so we could be together while we were alone, 

you made your art, I wrote my song,

feeding off the energy that filled the room

Chorus:

Wish these two weeks would never come to an end,

I'd give everything to live in this moment,

wish these two weeks had never come to an end,

I won't pretend, it's been harder every day since you left

Verse 2:

You played my guitar, I taught you the chords,

we went to the stars, you helped me explore,

I played you a song and, I messed up the words but,

you grinned and you stared, love was all that I heard,

we laid and stayed up through the night,

sharing all our stories and our hind sight,

every morning felt like bliss,

but for now all we can do is reminisce 

(Chorus x2)

06. Ego

Chorus:

Well it's hands are in everything, what you do and what you say,

and it stays there to remind you, that you're too afraid to stray,

all the sorrow, all the anger, always standing in the way,

of a future that we could reach, with an ego kept at bay

Verse 1:

Close my eyes and focus, pictures of me,

overstate importance, of what I see,

strive to block it out and, find the meaning,

aiming to uncover, reality

(Chorus)

Bridge:

left the eagle find improvements fail

left the eagle find improvements fail

let the eagle fly improvements fail

let the eagle fly improvements fail

let the eagle fall improvements frail

let the eagle fall improvements frail

let the eagle fall remove the fail

let the eagle fall remove the veil

let the ego fall remove the veil

let the ego fall remove the veil

let the ego fall remove the veil

let the ego fall remove the veil

Verse 2:

Catch it in the moment, right when it bites,

notice situations, that make it spike,

knowing how to use it, when should it strike?

Learning when to tame it, refuse the fight

(Chorus x2)

07. Perfection

Verse 1:

And I'll wait 'til my time is up,

better chance I'll run into luck,

will it runneth over my cup, if I do everything I should?

So I wait but I'm feeling stuck,

'cause perfection has run amok,

it's elusive and can't be touched, and I did everything I could

Chorus:

I'll take your wish away from you,

erase your dreams and all you knew,

destroy your grand designs,

said by the one behind your eyes,

putting it off until the end,

'cause I'm not satisfied I won't pretend,

but the time that is wasted by,

chasing the lies, it kills the drive

Verse 2:

Spent so long just to get nowhere,

holding back all because of fear,

on the road right until I veered,

now I have nothing left to show

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

08. Never Started

Verse 1:

Patterns repeat when the worst is done,

people have tendencies to go numb, 

reaching for the comfort, of a time that once was,

but there are always some things you just can't out run

Chorus:

Wonder if we can go back,

like it had never started,

look down and disregard it,

appear, bring it's despair, then disappear

Verse 2:

"Let's move on and never look back," were the words,

that you, that you whispered, "it's what we deserve." 

You'd block out the most vile and evil to preserve,

a false fantasy that you never even observed

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Delete it from your mind,

it's shadow comes to strike,

ignore the flashing lights,

flashing lights, flashing lights,

repeat it all next time,

forgiveness is your crime,

ignore the flashing lights,

flashing lights, flashing lights

(Chorus x2)

09. One Minute

Verse 1:

I see the lines darting on by,

mimicking my hastening mind,

infrequent lights, occasional signs,

all that I find while on my ride,

trying to make sense,

of all that's commenced,

of every event I speak of in past tense,

taking each piece,

of all that I've seen to make a complete depiction of me

Chorus:

I need a second to breathe, a minute to think,

but you don't want me to,

this clock is too fast paced, to take a break,

but it's all I want to do

Verse 2:

Delusions abound, distractions surround,

all just to make me feel okay,

try to shut it off, and block out the thoughts,

might clear the headache, make it go away

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Please don't take me to the wall,

I'm going too fast I'll crash and fall,

lead me to an open road,

where I have freedom to reload

(Keyboard Solo)

(Chorus x2)

10. Summer's End

Verse 1:

Sky, burning with light that extends,

time, it won't let summer end,

I, spend days imaging while I pretend,

so these nights, hand out the only sanctuary,

brief moments where I can mend

Chorus:

I just wanna be wrapped in you tonight,

I just wanna feel alright,

I just wanna be wrapped in you tonight,

and make it right

(Keyboard Solo)

Verse 2:

I will bare all of gravity,

I will stare into fear just to have you here with me

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Close my eyes and look at you,

visiting the time we knew,

markings strewn across the wall,

the sun's demise will bring the Fall

(Chorus x2)

11. Drift

Verse 1:

Another cold day all alone,

spent reminiscing time has flown,

memories from just days ago,

are further back than I had known,

inseparable with no divide,

we were a team you were my guide,

and though from all else I would hide,

I was myself by the Lakeside

Chorus:

I  tried, too hard to keep it inside,

I lied, I told you that I was fine,

my pride and anxieties,

they had me running away got us acting unlike we used to

Verse 2:

As I sit these questions pass,

how long since I have called you back?

When was the last time that we spoke,

When you could see me through the smoke?

I wouldn't be me without you,

so if my thoughts you never view,

I won't forget what we once had,

I hold it close and keep it trapped

(Chorus)

(Instrumental Section)

(Rap Verse)

Yo, livin' life inside my head has given me a pile of dread,

many regrets and I don't know how I'd have made it,

without a way to shed the coat and take the shell up off the ghost,

awaken, cope, display the ropes that tie my bravery,

a life of roundness next to squares but luck has found us here and there,

I'd curse and swear but persevere with your persuading,

to face it all with someone else, to race and fall but have that help,

it always felt a little less suffocating,

traveled on the same road for almost an eternity,

adversity, uncertainty, we faced 'em both in unity,

took some weight up off this load and lessened the intensity,

accepted me, protected me, from some of the perplexity,

over time openness slowed divergent paths were tempting me,

affecting me, eventually I walked down one unsteadily,

I saw some of the trust erode I guess some things are meant to be,

so separately, respectfully, took journeys independently,

I keep thinking on repeat about all the times,

that we'd take on the next leap or mountain to climb,

no steepness that could defeat us, our paradigm,

my weaknesses would deplete, strength would override,

- I'm aware all good things will fade,

but I got some things I hold onto to this day,

feels unfair but it's a part of the game,

keep moving through the obstacles in this maze - x3

(Chorus)
