Flying Blind 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Lighting a fuse to come alive Fighting a truce to hide that knife Of course the world would shrug it off Of course I claim to be alive Hidden connections behind the lies Is ressurection behind my eyes Of course the world is going blind Of course I claim not to mind Tears on that window Torn down that wall Am I frightened Caught on quick and braced myself Feeling sick of that sense of self Of course the world takes it's time Of course I'm still flying blind Tears on that window Torn down that wall Am I frightened Am I too far away To really feel awake Awake Of course the world takes it's time Of course we're all still flying blind

When Does The Fun Start? 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Taking a final bow, I took it far too far I'm slipping I'm tired of finding out how many drops it takes To fill this ocean When is it time to get away What do the stars pretend to say What does your fear demand of you When does the fun start Treading the same old path, did I really have to ask I'm slipping I'm tired of making wishes and thinking life is fair A flawed notion When is it time to get away What do the stars pretend to say What does your fear demand of you When does the fun start Standing still counting miles Counting pieces as they fall Stepping stones and letters unsent Regretting smiles never shown When is it time to get away What do the stars pretend to say What does your fear demand of you When does the fun start When does the fun start When does the fun start

Spinning Out 03:46
lyrics

Taking the vow, forgotten Gunning it down, ya got em Under fire, you want it now Wire to wire, it started Liar to liar, the truth hurts Under water, you shot it down Don't turn around, don't burn it down And don't keep me from spinning out Stars in your eyes, enchanted As far as I see, it's nowhere Under the gun, you want it now From out of the mire, a lotus Eyes on trial, a motive Under attack, you shot it down Don't turn around, don't burn it down And don't keep me from spinning out Why ask the question, reason breaking down A striking match imploding, don't turn around Don't turn around

Kingdom Come 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Lines in the water, and some kind of peace There was a life that made some kind of sense A spark and then fire, and birth of a flame There was a choice, a love intense Dreams into wishes, never shared Do we listen, do we care Fire to smoke, blown away It's all in the words I'd never say A life in a day, the sun hiding in the clouds There was a time when I could see it shine Asleep in the corner, a roof made of stars A blanket of wind and memories Dreams into wishes, never shared Do we listen, do we care Fire to smoke, blown away It's all in the words I'd never say Wake me, the morning Mourning kingdom come Dreams into wishes, never shared Do we listen, do we care Fire to smoke, blown away It's all in the words I'd never say

Who's Asking? 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Another trick down the line Selling souls for dimes Can't forget to change my mind I forgive it time after time Is it all I could find to ask you Did you care if I saw Who's asking Ticking away like a bomb Picking my battles all along Tricking my way through the fog Dreaming away another song Is it all I could find to ask you Did you care if I saw Who's asking Cutting through the faulty wires Day by day they turn to liars Is the whole world on fire I'm standing tall like a fighter Is it all I could find to ask you Did you care if I saw Who's asking

Stir 04:17
lyrics

The lights are shining bright tonight Bursting brilliance in the air A simple smile makes it right I feel the wires cross I see the time lost Never miss that shot Cause time and time again They try to get you down I stir in my mind and I find They'll never get to me Never get to me, no The fireside is full of life tonight Popping embers warm the air And your warmth makes it right I feel the smile form I see the pages torn Never miss that shot Cause time and time again They try to get you down I stir in my mind and I find They'll never get to me Never get to me, no It could be it's meant to be Another shining light It's hard to see the meaning here It's burning so bright They'll never get to me, no

Close The Door 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Breathe in the air at the break of dawn I take it I won't ever know, I know Lying awake in the dead of night I take it I won't ever dream again, again Gotta keep holding on, close the door Keep those shaddows lit, they don't hurt anymore Hiding away from the shining sun I take it I won't ever know, I know Wishing for that moonlit night I take it I won't ever dream again, again Gotta keep holding on, close the door Keep those shaddows lit, they don't hurt anymore I never gave in to the sadness I never gave in to the pain But I'm tired of the numbness I'm tired of the rain Close the door (keep holding on)

Cold Bones 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Silver lines, I've been tracing On a track left behind Hidden trials, I've been facing A bitter eye, going blind Faking smiles to catch a break Gideon's bible and time wasted I was a child, I took the meaning A simple hook to snare my mind All I find, I try to fight it I thought the voice was speaking me Pulling stakes to close that window A fireside with empty chairs Cold on my way home Cold deep in these bones What I would give to see a smile Talking back at tattered tomes A tired revival comes undone Cold on my way home Cold deep in these bones What I would give to see a smile

Round And Round 04:26
lyrics

Watching the ice form on my window Letting the wind blow me down Counting snowflakes as they fall Time may stand still Haven't we had enough of frozen bones Isn't it time for sunshine Cause every day I hear it calling out to me As the wheels spin round and round in my mind Awake again, every morning feels the same I shake myself and I rise I get that look on my face again I made it through another night Haven't we had enough of frozen bones Isn't it time for sunshine Cause every day I hear it calling out to me As the wheels spin round and round in my mind I'll sing through the pain I won't try to fake it Life goes on awry And I'll take it back from the cold Haven't we had enough of frozen bones Isn't it time for sunshine Cause every day I hear it calling out to me As the wheels spin round and round in my mind Round and round in my mind Round and round in my mind

Always 06:03
lyrics

Every day I wonder, where do I go from here Every day's a message, it all adds up Try to find a way to see me as I wake Try to find a way to see me always All the blowing wind's a compass, pain is stillness in the air As the days drag on, it all adds up Try to find a way to see me as I wait Try to find a way to see me always I'm walking out, I broke it down I found out how long life can drag out I'm fading in the answers to questions I don't own Dancing across my eyes, it all adds up Try to find a way to see me as I lie Try to find a way to see me always I'm walking out, I broke it down I found out how long life can drag out It all adds up from here if you want it It all adds up from here if you want it Always, always
