So Crazy 02:22
The day may come when I may see A world that makes some sense to me It's all so crazy now I cannot contain the reaction Or deal with the lack of action The day will come when we have to fight A world that doesn't care what's right We'll have to step up I cannot contain the reaction Or deal with the lack of action At what point does it go too far Does it matter who you are Do you care what's right It's all so crazy now It's all so crazy now It's all so crazy now It's all so crazy now

A Brave Face 02:46
I'll keep my pieces safe, I won't get swept away Every bit a brave face, and always stuck in place Here I sit, breathless and broken I wish I were still in love with living free Every turn a misstep, untied and restless Here I sit, breathless and broken I wish I were still in love with living free Wander somber I'm under clouds unyielding Still I remain Every bit a brave face I'll keep my secrets safe here

Feels Good 03:00
The sun has broken through Goodbye to that long night I must admit, it feels pretty good I never thought it could feel this good I never thought it could feel this right It feels good The clouds have gone away Goodbye to feeling grey I must admit, it feels pretty good I never thought it could feel this good I never thought it could feel this right It feels good The fog has burned away today And now I'm on my way, home I never thought it could feel this good

Wild Wind 02:57
Children of the night dance on angel wings demure With violent eyes Sneaking suspicion haunts what they heard They pull that trigger I have no voice but a scream Unheard as if in a dream A whisper left hanging A gutter left in a world of dire disease Hands grasping A stutter step around the cries of the desperate Left wanting I have no voice but a scream Unheard as if in a dream A whisper left hanging Where does the wild wind go Where does the wild wind go I have no voice, but a scream unheard
6.
Ashes, Ashes 03:24
Wake up that sleeping beast Sleeping peacefully Fast asleep Hiding sharp, sharp teeth Early morning, softly snoring The day will come when it all burns to the ground Rule over nothing but ashes Slowly stirring The earth begins to shake Muscles twitching Waking reptile brain Early Warning, dark, dark morning The day will come when it all burns to the ground Rule over nothing but ashes Spreading wings, terror sings Count your blessings before the fires start The day will come when it all burns to the ground Rule over nothing but ashes The day will come when it all burns to the ground Rule over nothing but ashes Ashes, ashes

Misanthrope 03:16
I'm afraid of winning. I don't want this game to end. Tyranny of the majority. World wide chaos. Wonders of the world collapse. Is a choice really any choice at all? I'm afraid of winning. I don't want this game to end. Grinding in the gutter. Finding a worse way to be. Human kind is not kind to the meek. The inheritance of the wicked is doled out daily. I'm afraid of winning. I don't want this game to end. Misanthrope! Misanthrope! They all declare. As if decrying the injustice somehow makes me a madman. Misanthrope! Misanthrope! They all declare. As if decrying the injustice somehow makes me a madman. I'm afraid of winning. I don't want this game to end. I'm afraid of winning. I don't want this game to end.

Glory 03:02
I can fall asleep in the graces divine A push off a cliff of dreaming Sail my way, sail my way You ship of glory I could break my blessing in a feat unkind A whisper betrayed by screaming Sail my way, sail my way You ship of dreams Every day I right the tilt of worlds colliding I want to say I'm only ever surviving These rough seas I could get lost in those roaming eyes I push away the demons scheming Sail my way, sail my way Sail my way, sail my way You ship of glory

Shots Fired 03:43
I awake to the sound of cities burning I awake to nothing changed Above it all a devil's laughing Above it all the world keeps turning It's not over, shots fired It's not over, shots fired I resist desire I resist decay Above it all a devil's laughing Above it all the world keeps turning It's not over, shots fired It's not over, shots fired I feel it in my bones Something is amiss Above it all a devil's laughing Above it all the world keeps turning It's not over, shots fired It's not over, shots fired Nothing changes, the world keeps turning This changes nothing, the world keeps turning It's not over, shots fired It's not over, shots fired

Pleiades 02:36
(Instrumental)

Calling Out 03:37
I feel lead inside my soul I feel heaven drag me down I know you don't want to fight my demons I know you must have your reasons I'm calling out, I'm calling out to you I feel the weight pushing down I feel those cold winds blow I know you don't want to fight my demons I know you must have your reasons I'm calling out, I'm calling out to you
12.
Swallowed 03:08
Dreaming of the water falling all around my world The heavens open up and I'm swallowed by your love Tears of angels crying out in awe Falling out of sleep to that warm sun shining on me The clouds drift away and I'm swallowed by your love Wishes like winds blowing in the morning Live the day like we are free Until the night comes and we can dream Of who we want to be Dreaming The heavens open up and I'm swallowed by your love Tears of angels crying out in awe
13.
A World Away 02:38
(Instrumental)
14.
Smile 03:29
Wear the pieces down until they fit in place Chase away the blues that hold you back Breathe in, Breathe out Pull on the thread and unravel Smile in spite of this world We have to stand, we have to fight If you ever want to be happy Count out the time until they fade away Chase after what you know to be true Breathe in, breathe out Pull down the walls and attack Smile in spite of the rules We have to stand, we have to fight If you ever want to be happy One by one break it down Smile in spite of everything We have to stand, we have to fight If you ever want to be happy
15.
Ol' Bessie 03:56
Genuine rambunctious catawaump Dancing in the moonligh The barn is burning while we sing It's alright I've got a straw hat and you've got a fancy dress The scarecrow don't care what we do tonight Ol' Bessie has her work cut out tonight The dinner bell is ringing 've got a straw hat and you've got a fancy dress The scarecrow don't care what we do tonight The hay looks mighty inviting Don't it darlin?
16.
Revolve 04:08
(Instrumental)
17.
I'm counting on your love tonight I'm hoping you can make me feel alright I wanna believe in your love I wanna believe in forever I'm giving chase as you smile at me I'm showing my face so you can feel my love I wanna believe in your love I wanna believe you care You know I love you, I know you do too I wanna believe in your love I wanna believe in your love Let me believe in your love I wanna believe in your love

Curiosity plaguing my brain What's so confusing about the rain Something could be wrong with my mind Everything about it is a waste of time Believe what you want, I'm out of my mind I'm just trying to stay awake A trained velocity, doing tricks unconscious A simple yes or no makes all the difference Something could be wrong with my mind Everything about it is a waste of time Believe what you want, I'm out of my mind I'm just trying to stay awake I'm just trying to stay awake I'm just trying to stay awake Something could be wrong with my mind Everything about it is a waste of time Believe what you want, I'm out of my mind I'm just trying to stay awake

Variations 03:51
(Instrumental)
21.
Let my imagination run wild for a bit It's been building up to an end and this is it Running round and round, tripping over sounds A wildfire burns out loud, sleeping in the clouds Let this testament stand for all time Listless apathy is still a waste of your mind Storms may be brewing, that umbrella won't help you Who knows what you're doing if you can't stay true The world may still turn, even when it's burning But when it all burns down, who will you blame It's not a game
22.
What do you want to hear What do you want from life I don't know what's so confusing Take nothing for granted Take life as it comes And you may find a reason Why are we here tonight How did we get so far I don't know what's so frustrating Take me as I am Take the good and bad And you may find some comfort I feel on top of the world tonight I feel on top of the world tonight I feel on top of the world tonight I feel on top of the world tonight Cause you're here with me I feel on top of the world tonight I feel on top of the world tonight Cause you're here with me
23.
I've been waiting so long for that train To take me far away from this city I've been chasing rain far too long I just want to find my blue skies again I've spent so much time with demons on my trail Reaching out and clawing at my soul I've been broken down and reviled I just want to get out on those rails The world keeps catching up with these old bones I can't take a breath without feeling oh so cold That old wind has become my brother Those stars don't wanna shine for me All those empty faces push to pass me by All that cold concrete facade becomes my mother The world keeps catching up with these old bones I can't take a breath without feeling oh so cold Worries here Worries gone Worries back to stay The world keeps catching up with these old bones I can't take a breath without feeling oh so cold Oh so cold

Jeweled Sky 03:27
I am always waking up Before the dawn shows it's face In the cool dark morning I see a face from my dreams I find my life again A fire still inside A bitter heart divine I see what stars will shine for me The jeweled sky alive in my heart In the cool dark morning I feel like it all makes sense I find I can survive I know it's still my time To light a world on fire The darkness turns to light The morning sun warms my face I know I can survive I know it's still my time To light a world on fire
27.
Crazy 03:54
I gotta get up and take a good look around I gotta fess up to the fact That I'm crazy, crazy for you I wanna tell you all those things I never say I wanna tell you, but you know That I'm crazy, crazy for you We've got a funny way of living The only way to win is to not play the game We've got a funny way of living But you know it wouldn't be the same I'm forgiving almost to a fault So please forgive me for being Crazy, crazy for you I've tried living in a state of panic So please excuse me for being manic I'm crazy, crazy for you We've got a funny way of living The only way to win is to not play the game We've got a funny way of living But you know it wouldn't be the same I know it will be alright If you stay with me tonight I wanna tell you all those things I never say I wanna tell you all those things I never say I wanna tell you all those things I never say I wanna tell you all those things I never say We've got a funny way of living We've got a funny way of living We've got a funny way of living We've got a funny way of living You know I'm crazy You know I'm crazy for you
28.
The rain won't stop, the rain won't stop All my days are spent grey A world below me suffers, A world above me laughs I am only breathing The rain won't stop, the rain won't stop All my days are spent grey A truce is called to end an era of blood I am only breathing The rain won't stop, the rain won't stop All my days are spent grey A sleeping beast, kicked one too many times lashes out I am only breathing The rain won't stop, the rain won't stop All my days are spent grey A feeling of dread consumes this aging prosperity I am only breathing The rain won't stop, the rain won't stop All my days are spent grey An agent of deliverance, An angel of innocence I am only breathing I am only breathing
29.
Head in the clouds, one foot in the grave I once lost my way on that road to salvation Wounds binding my hands down every winding road Fortunes displaced and my weakness displayed Life on the road was never for me I can't help but wonder what's been waiting for me Tunes rattle around, a memory of some other life There's still some future I have yet to see Oh be gentile with this dream I hold I once lost my way, one foot in the grave I once lost my way
30.
That cold wind starts to blow Winter announces a new decree Hold so tight, keep alive that light A soul, a window A way to feel alive An eye, a wound shown A life that passes by Keep that light alive That old moon don't shine It's all clouded in my mind Hold so tight, keep alive that light A soul, a window A way to feel alive An eye, a wound shown A life that passes by Keep that light alive I wonder what time will tell As I run and hide To keep that light alive Keep that light alive Keep that light alive Keep that light alive
