Looking for answers Runnin' around now in the park Finally lonesome Nothing is final here as you know All I want is to turn it around some I don't need to be preaching a sermon All I want is a definite person I don't need to be asking for ransoms Finding an ally But no one is out here in the dark Getting butterflies As soon as they call your name But all I want is to turn it around some I don't need to be preaching a sermon All I want is a definite person I don't need to be asking for ransoms All I want is to turn it around some All I want is to turn it around some Turn it around some Turn in a ransom

Every last drop of water this time Is essential just to clear a skin. Cascade and springs are just fine Gotta look out how to wash our sins. I've been searching for all the right minds, Everyone else is just playing dead. Down in the river or by the seaside, We don't even know where to begin. So get rained on Where nothing seems to matter,... Get rained on To purify yourself. Get rained on Where nothing seems to matter,... Get rained on To purify yourself,... Purify yourself,... Going down on a magical route That will be leading us to a swim. Last call too obvious now: I believe we will be back again. Sometimes the freedom desires, Imagination takes a different spin. We'll have a myriad of fires On the bay where this is happening. So get rained on Where nothing seems to matter,... Get rained on To purify yourself. Get rained on Where nothing seems to matter,... Get rained on To purify yourself,... Purify yourself,… Get rained on,...

Ah, come let me take you by the hand Ah, we'll sail away to far away lands Where skies burn bright and flicker blue Forget the life we always knew Paddle freely with the pearls Watch the sail as it unfurls We can smooth our jaggy course Rosy wine brings no remorse Waves lap softly one by one Climb the shore in midday sun Climb the shore in midday sun Ah, with music rising from the seas Ah, dancing through the balmy breeze Drown the past in golden pools The sun will melt each molecule We'll ignite the summer rays Don't look back into the grey Eternal scapes of blazing sands Buoyant faces holding hands Don't get away be here to stay Tomorrow is an endless day Tomorrow is an endless day Tomorrow

Deny 03:54
Amazing tales of wonder do recall a distant time frame. Cannot believe that just a few years back she twisted madly. I feel as if the colors fade in ways that don't belong here. A shadowed curtain blocks the light, the night is what surrounds me. I have been too long with you. Do the things you want me to. Efforts come and go but when they come they go unnoticed. Reels of tapes of and pictures track a ghost that's mostly angry. A possible relief of energy is all I'm wanting But no one in the world would want a mission so demanding. I have been too long with you,... "What d'you say?" Do the things you want me to,... "What d'you say?" Suddenly the scars come through,... "What d'you say?" Now the visions show me to abandon you,… So, one day I'll be gone, I'll be gone, I'll be gone, I'll be gone in the morning. Yeah, I know I'll be gone, I'll be gone, I'll be calling, you go the morning, In the morning,...

I wanna dip into your world To watch your days unfold Turn the pages of your mind Unravel tales you've told I wanna peep into your soul To contemplate your views Soaking hopes and dreams And banish all your blues I wanna join in your events Journeys round your globe Leafing through your telling tomes Of stories full of hope I want to glimpse into your past Pore over reviews  Maybe then I'll stay To see the chapters through Arriving in a time Where we drink our wine We should forget our lonely fight And step into the night Step into the night Standing in the crowd My head up in the clouds To crack the beating din A space to hide within Melting deep inside I hide it in my eyes Frustration is the sting That's choking like a ring Crushing solitude Over the years its brewed Nibbling as a creep Burning far too deep The need to break away From a lonely fray Run down the dead end street Fast from drowning heat Arriving in a time Where we drink our wine We should forget our lonely fight And step into the night Step into the night And step into the night Oh I'm stepping to the night Step into the night

We Call Fear 03:39
The moment I left here You thought I was fine. Admirable answers, Despicable mind,... A little amend took A minute too much So now it just seems that You're losing your touch. Happy days are removed of appeal,... How did this anxiety feel so real? Floating to the end of a frontier All aboard a vessel we call fear. Fear! A major emotion Will put you to rest. Await the finale: don't disappear yet. Happy days are removed of appeal,... How did this anxiety feel so real? Floating to the end of a frontier All aboard a vessel we call fear. Now you pause to sit and dream
 Of the spaces in between. Empty time is there to touch, Ignore and you'll regret much. Don't just sit in there alone
 Watching life turn fast to stone. Fill the spaces up with friends
; Should be happy in the end. The moment I left here You thought I was fine. Admirable answers, Despicable,...

Ogres 04:49
Soaking in the news today To finally pretend That no man's equal in the end. Envious regarding 'fate' As something out of hand,… Much too hard to understand. Underneath the surface Many souls in submission Use their heads instead of guns On and on, on and on,… Is this the only thing that's left When ogres take it all? Is this something you'll regret When they'll be on their own? Is this the only thing that's left When ogres take it all? Have you heard the renowned laws Of supply and demand? It's a shame when they just leave a strand. Things don't have to be the way Some people make believe. The trunk is nothing without leaves. Underneath the surface Many souls in submission Use their heads instead of guns On and on, on and on,… Is this the only thing that's left When ogres take it all? Is there something you'll regret When they'll be on their own? Is this the only thing that's left When ogres take it all? Is there something you'll regret When they'll be on their own?

The nights are long Clock slows down In vague reflections Hoping, wishing on a star Now the moon has tales to tell Sees our dreams in restless hell Nudges secrets lurking deep Shadows granting all but sleep   Wisps of youth are far behind Hazy frames of clicks in time Memories like waning streams Once did gush, now lost in dreams   There was a time when little mattered Smoked on lawns and rivers shatter Broken rays of sun baked fast Friendships that were made to last Now the moon has tales to tell Sees our dreams in restless hell Nudges secrets lurking deep Shadows granting all but sleep The wisps of youth are far behind Hazy frames of clicks in time Memories like waning streams Once did gush, now lost in dreams Hopeless dreamer swims so far Hoping, wishing on a star Now the moon has tales to tell Sees our dreams in restless hell Nudges secrets lurking deep Shadows granting all but sleep

Reveling 03:41
Risin' up into the back of a skull Keepin' eyes to far away from the sun. Desireless over an unlimited thread Of subtle voices singin' among the dead. On 'n' on channeling in this sound No one's wrong reveling in this song Of hope is gettin' into brain waves A mesh of cells is comin' out of a cage Anyone qualifies,... Remove who's purified,... Knock out a social high,... Souls will be petrified! On 'n' on funneling in this sound All is gone narrowing in a sound On 'n' on channeling in this sound No one's wrong reveling in this song Aw, anyone qualifies,... Remove who's purified,... Knock out a social high,... Souls will be petrified! Any guy qualifies,... Remove who's purified,... Knock out a social high,... Souls will be petrified!

I don't get all of your words People say you sound absurd Getting dissed, wound up and frail Talking up, the noise prevails What a waste of precious time Many moons ago I'd smile Taking spaces in between Often lonely left unseen Ooo,… See the ones that slip away Hear them chase and make 'em play Watch the roar, the music score Take a peak and you'll find more Use the spaces in between Don't let slip away unseen I don't get all of the words Hearing refrain, chorus, verse Ooo,...
