Come along and you can dance with me Sing this song and we can make believe That all these days are something to celebrate I'll spin along and be your fool I'll take it all in like a winner Take this chance and dance the day away This circumstance alludes to better days And we know life is worth living I'll spin along and be your fool I'll take it all in like a winner Make it work, I won't ignore it I believe in talking out my woes We can trust in that we're willing I'll spin along and be your fool I'll take it all in like a winner Trust that life is bigger than you see it Trust that I will always let you love I'll spin along and be your fool I'll take it all in like a winner

Dusty Days 02:27
lyrics

Round and round around the world Chasing my own shadow Round and round all over the world Chasing my own tail It's just the same as yesterday, the same old heart beat Is this the tale I want to tell, the same old hard case Round and round I turn around I've been living backwards Round and round I burn it down Living dusty days Do you think you could tell me something I don't know I know what you're thinking about what I won't show I return the lies I bought, the same old story Is this the tale I want to tell, it sounds so boring Round and round I turn around I've been living backwards Round and round I burn it down Living dusty days Round and round I turn around I've been living backwards Round and round I burn it down Living dusty days

The Word 02:45
lyrics

So what if I wanna just talk to myself I won't live on my knees begging for help Driving me crazy, driving me crazy Such a wild word Don't understand what you're on about I wanna scream but you'll only let me shout So why should I care if the needle skips Dreaming of words that won't pass my lips Driving me crazy, driving me crazy What is the word Don't understand what you're on about I wanna scream but you'll only let me shout Out of the way, what should I say Should I let you know what the magic word is What is the word

Know All 04:47
lyrics

Oh, know all All you want can tie you up All these fears reveals the art All the clawing fingers, tear at your heart Oh, know all Pray for peace, prepare for war Be chaste in lust, beg to be ignored Drops in the ocean can't quench my thirst to know Oh, know all Chains of love protect the willing Our prayers are deaf to the wails of the wild Trust in knowing is balancing on sand Oh, know all Take away the conqueror's desperate reach Oh, know all

I can't spend my lifetime wondering why I'm here I won't stand alone, this world is still my home But don't wear me down, while I'm down I can't spin my reason to fit a daring dream show I won't try to hide, wounds I feel inside Please don't wear me down, while I'm down I won't try to hide, wounds I feel inside Please don't wear me down, while I'm down

Get your hair cut just right, act like a fool Change everything you are, maybe they'll love you You could be popular, all you have to do is hide You could be popular, all you have to do is hide Who you are from those liars Wear the right clothes, make them believe you're dumb Sell all you stand for, make your heart go numb You could be popular, all you have to do is hide You could be popular, all you have to do is hide Who you are from those liars Give away your soul, act like you don't care Grasp and grope for something you don't have Throw it all away, throw your life away Throw it all away, throw away yourself You could be popular, all you have to do is hide You could be popular, all you have to do is hide You could be popular, all you have to do is hide Who you are from those liars

Wonder To The World 04:28
lyrics
buy track
Why should I shield my eyes, counting down the days Why should I hold the pieces I tear away Are all these words my only sacrifice How do these pieces fit when i can't see a path How do my stars align, should I even ask Are all my fears my only comfort now We raise our faces to the trial, we hold our pieces too tight What do we have to give that we haven't tried What do we refuse to see, what have we denied Is it only ashes left to keep us warm Why should I wish away scars never earned Why would I make it out with lessons never learned Am I alive in wonder to the world We raise our faces to the trial, we hold our pieces too tight Am I alive in wonder to the world We raise our faces to the trial, we hold our pieces too tight

Come hell or come high water, they won't shoot me down Come hell or come high water, I'm not gonna drown They can't see me soaring, high above the ground They can't mess this up for me, I'm too high in the clouds Come hell, or come high water They won't shoot me down Bring all your slings and arrows, you can't shoot me down Bring all your slings and arrows, you'll never stop me now You know I'll keep on fighting, cuz I know what I found You'll never know my reasons, you'll never find out how Come hell, or come high water You'll never shoot me down Always begging for a piece Giving me no peace Come hell, or come high water Come hell, or come high water

Apocaloptimist 03:17
lyrics

When Pollyanna meets Chicken Little I find I'm always in the middle When it's chaos I'm doing fine When life is good I feel out of time There is love in the air, hidden by pollution When I feel like I'm aware, I still don't see solutions To my world When I feel lucky, I always lose When I'm awake, I just want to snooze When it's raining, I see silver linings When it's sunny, I'm only blinded There is love in the air, hidden by pollution When I feel like I'm aware, I still don't see solutions To my world Are we on the road to ruin, do we even care Do we know what we're doing, or are we unaware Are we unaware while we're watching When Pollyanna meets Chicken Little I'm always in the middle of my world

Stuck in time I realize secrets I don't know I find the trail to find myself in places I don't go Have I been running all my life Standing in place, believing I'm alive Trusting songs like story books, telling all my tales I feel a choice coming down the line, my reason only fails Have I been running all my life Standing in place, believing I'm alive I recall the days I tried, wasting all my time I believed in something more, before I looked inside Have I been running all my life Standing in place, believing I'm alive Last chance to find out what I mean The last dance reveals everything The last dance reveals everything The last dance reveals everything to me

Evergreen 03:27

It's driving me crazy, counting down the days I'm thinking maybe, I shouldn't be afraid My wild ways have led me home All I may say could lead to the unknown I rush to the streets as rebirth leads to death But I'm evergreen, but always out of breath My wild ways have led me home All I may say could lead to the unknown I won't miss those days, sleeping under stars There is no virtue, fighting what we are My wild ways have led me home All I may say could lead to the unknown You'll find me fighting to run in place You'll find me fighting to stay awake My wild ways have led me home All I may say could lead to the unknown

Am I The Only One 03:44
lyrics

I can crawl inside feelings not my own I can shut it out of my mind like a ghost The world is not so large that I can get lost Am I the only one? I can taste the desperation in the blowing wind I can wash away this fear like crashing waves The ways I dream mean so little to them all Am I the only one? I can float away in my own mind I can pull it up from the depths of the sea The fire inside this soul fades like unwatched coal Am I the only one? I can reveal anything I want to show I can chase the spirits with pure clean water The tears get shouted down by sycophants Am I the only one?

back into blue skies devils still on my trail lost in haze and clouds of smoke couldn't hope more than to fail covered up in blue eyes forgotten here and shrugged away I left you all standing here I know I couldn't live for long that way burned many a bridge it felt a lot like me burned Slipping a bit downward but not about to fall washed away in ignorance not answering your calls burned many a bridge it felt a lot like me burned

Are we young, do we hope All the times we filled with second chances We relive all our missed romances I fell asleep in the sun, I woke up in the rain All this time I never knew I am wild in my heart In a cage explaining the game to you What is love, is it known All the roads I've walked lead nowhere All this time I've spent unaware I realized my mistakes, take my breath away All this time I never knew I am wild in my heart In a cage explaining the game to you All this time I never knew I am wild in my heart In a cage explaining the game to you Are we young, do we hope Are we young, do we hope

I can't wait to find out what you see I belong here, it's all so new to me What do I know Fate has found me awake in this wound Charm and luck go breezing through my life What can I show We burn the miles of our lives unhinged I run aground on words I never tried Pain and greed won't push me out of line The warmth of a smile calms my worried mind What do I hold true We burn the miles of our lives unhinged I run aground on words I never tried I'll walk this world til I can make some sense I place my wager and watch the spinning wheel

Whiskey Breath 02:30

I'm taking apart this pain, sneering back at death Talking to tear it down, drowning with whiskey breath Chasing away this hell, washing away my worries Begging to scream out loud, this world gets so blurry I've done it now, drinking it down I'm telling you what I mean, but hiding what I need Itching to burn it down, looking for hearts to bleed Stalking an unknown prey, wishing away these phone calls Begging to scream out loud, I'm clawing at the walls I've done it now, but I don't know how I keep burning down Stalking an unknown prey, wishing away these phone calls Begging to scream out loud, I'm clawing at the walls

You'll find the rhythm in your heartbeat You'll find me hiding in plain sight Or blowing in the wind Will you wake and say to me I belong to infinity, floating You'll see I saved all the right bits You'll find me echoing the waves Or blowing in the wind Will you take this breath from me I belong to infinity, hoping I can wait all day for this, in an endless universe I can take the blame for this, floating through this universe Or blowing in the wind You'll see when my time is done You'll find me when my day has come Blowing in the wind

Look before you leap never worked for me How can I believe, what all that's left is faith Look before you leap never worked for me But one more leap of faith could be the end of me I cover up my eyes when I should see a truth It could all be lies, when I can't see any proof Look before you leap never worked for me But one more leap of faith could be the end of me I know what it's about and I could do without It makes me want to shout, cuz I should have some doubts Will I ever see it coming, will I ever see a way Look before you leap never worked for me Look before you leap never worked for me
