The Gift (free) 04:53
lyrics
download
V1 Rising early in the morning I realize another day is upon me I have found the strength To breathe again Like a long lost friend saved By the daydreaming (Falling in love again) The fallen angels gather Around my demise Without a sound of delusion While drawing light Out of my darkest surroundings Chorus The gift The calling The gift of falling In love again Falling in love again V2 Today should never end Should never have been While drawing light Out of my darkness surrounding My strength is rising Driven by the tide of longing; My strength is rising C2 The gift The calling The gift of falling In love again Falling in love again Bridge Today should never end Should never have been While drawing light Out of my darkness surrounding My strength is rising Out of my darkest surrounding C3/4 Outro The gift of the morning The gift The calling

AsIAm (free) 03:36
lyrics
download
Fountains of insane From beneath me Can't you see the pain Inside the lines Drawn behind farther Down beside the time I cannot find you I cannot find you All I've known I can't believe it's gone Why can't you see All that I can believe Philosophic Lit up inside All you've known before Means nothing Means nothing anymore Take me as I am Take me as I am Take me as I am

Ripcord (free) 03:16
lyrics
download
Ripcord Am I dreaming? While wide awake Is that screaming? Why not debate the meaning When we choose two lives All around us our disguise You can ill afford Pull the ripcord We fight the fires Till the day We hold the liars Beside the nighttime Cannot inebriate Enough to forget You can ill afford Pull the ripcord Live the dream to consecrate Fields a life away All that discord All around it’s your fault You cannot lose all put in While alone due to euphoria The ripcord You can ill afford

Crystal (free) 02:58
lyrics
download
Feeling good On this bright sunny day The grass is green and We’re all out to play Barbecue, beers on the cooler The TV’s all alone A dumb insanity My baby’s running free In the streets Neighborhood party The party's outside Under the trees Lots of friends Children to feed It's a new wave It’s crystal clear to me Our life, our love Was meant to be It’s crystal clear to me All along you know I love you My dear it’s crystal clear Our life our love Was meant to be

Freewill (free) 03:20
lyrics
download
We apply and justify All the filters For us to get by Along the way We feel today Just as passé as is Another crease in the fabric Behold all things are static Be still My heart Freewill Freewill depart Been so long since I felt this way Since just yesterday Given away to the fray We all fall into decay I cannot I will not I choose not To believe it Follow the sounds In the distance I cannot feel the resistance We all know what to do During the silent time All alone then I’m near When I see you All praise that can be you I adore and believe in you My song to your heart With a sonnet, a strain I will to a strong refrain A strong refrain Be still my heart Be strong to the end Be still my heart For a lifetime Freewill can shine

couldn't sleep (free) 04:04
lyrics
download
I was up all night I guess I couldn't get to sleep I couldn't make things right your heart was not mine to keep in the dark night of the soul it's always 3 A. M. I have to just let go and start my life again I cannot make myself believe I'll always be alone a prisoner with no reprieve waiting by the phone o what a web we weave when first we practice to deceive ourselves I couldn't sleep I couldn't sleep the whole world fell into the deep and I was left left afloat you didn't even leave a note I was up till dawn you know I couldn't sleep I know the line was drawn you know I couldn't sleep the moving finger writes and having writ moves on nor all thy prayer nor wit shall lure it to come back nor all thy tears wash out a word of it I cannot make myself believe I'll always be alone a prisoner with no reprieve waiting by the phone o what a web we weave when first we practice to deceive ourselves

From Toledo (free) 01:41
lyrics
download
Long gentle tide All over you go Where childrens light In the day is leaving tonight I'm at a loss at my consent Once the sea gets us all alone One knows away you'll go When you're young What you design… Follow your light Why try to stay too long Our youth is fading License in time Rapture away

The Happening (free) 04:16
lyrics

V1 You’re not the only girl on the block today You know I been down this road before I don’t know if I’ll stay What you see, what you do Know it! Gonna take two I’m here, you’re there, let’s be fair C1 What else you got? What you will arrange tonight Got a ways to be Where you know it’s happening V2 Don’t waste time to get all up tight Baby’s no sense in coming round You know there’s gonna be a fight Relax; calm today all’s insane How you’ll come to see In words and deeds It’s all been thrown away C2 What else you got? We loved to talk the talk What a place to be Where you know it’s happening C3 What else you got? We loved to talk the talk What a place to be Where you know it’s happening Would I deserve to stay? Who knows here today? Got a ways to be Where you know it’s happening

New Paradigm (free) 04:23
lyrics
download
I’ve been on the outside Not always looking in I can rarely depend Upon the things I say Out of touch all the times We do not share opinions (it’s fine) All the crimes we give into I believe in love I grieve the from above Another likely choice Can’t always stay quiet Candidates rejoice All between Cannot create a life New paradigm I’m facing one more fight The belief is trying Grasping for the end result Wish I could read the cards New paradigm Giving others security Belief in lover’s impurity Give it up trade it in Now its time for a new paradigm To begin, to begin Willing rise to the line It’s a new paradigm New paradigm

Caliphany (free) 03:31
lyrics

Caliphany: Caliphany is coming down from the hills A symphony is streaming out her windows A smile is spread across her face She's winning without even running the race It seems so easy sometimes.... A shady grove stimulates epiphany Sequoias tower and create surreal canopy What's to say that's not yet been said Why write the words if they've already been read Caliphany is flying through the valley lows a symphony is streaming out her windows Caliphany feels she's born for the sea Although at home setting roots by the trees She's got a smile and a mind at ease not dictated by places, she does what she please Born and raised here in Bakersfield she's got a sense you relate and a smile you can feel She made me feel I was meant to be there Free as the breeze, and without a care Is she even aware? A smile spread across her face she's winning without even running the race She feels at home wherever she goes a symphony's streaming out her windows Caliphany of open mind she makes it seem so easy sometimes

While You Were Sleeping (free) 03:24
lyrics
download
While you were sleeping I looked at you were so peaceful under the covers and while you were sleeping That’s when I said to myself this is my friend and lover and you are my angel I am so filled with love to have you here you make my life into something special and clear and every day you make me glad too everybody needs a dream, everybody needs a dream a dream that they can dream in old or new Something they can have to hope and to believe in a place where they are walking with someone hand in hand somebody who will understand While you were sleeping I saw your eyes moving under neath of your eyelids and While you were sleeping that’s when I knew you were deep down down in a dreamland That’s when I realized I would love you forever Then I realized that I had been cruel And I realized I didn't know nothing I’d been such a fool And so I hoped that you were dreaming of wonders of better days and happier seasons of wind driven midnights without thunder and all the better reasons…. While you were sleeping I looked at you were so peaceful under the covers and while you were sleeping That’s when I said to myself this is my friend and lover you are just like an angel I am so filled with love to have you you make my life special and every day you make me glad too That’s when I knew it was for ever…
