Noli Timere 03:46
lyrics

So when it's all said and done You're drop in the ocean Wondering what went wrong Do you realize Could you be of light Are you whole inside Do you feel alive So what more can I say The tumbling axiom Smashing you right in the face Heed the blue pencil praise By avoiding the question They're coming to take you away Do you realize Could you be of light Are you whole inside Do you feel alive Hold on be strong Do you realize Do you realize Could you be of light Are you whole inside Do you feel alive

Space Chimp 04:11
lyrics

Cold and alone and I'm strapped in your machine I am afraid of everything that I can see I'll pave the way to all the things you've ever dreamed Send me to space and then you'll test if I can breathe Will it aloud Won't you fight Lie funny cold The sin in us Cum laude hope The struggle is the greatest show Send in the clowns A thinning mask so poorly sold So the last are fading out Do you wanna be a fox head in a castle or a vixen slopping muppet in a corvette a big fat raw fed truck Are you gonna to blow your trumpet like a rascal or a syncopated puppet with a spasm a pig that saw red muck Are we gonna be the hunted with the lights out or a frying frog with pasta in a cinder go eat your lollipop Do you wanna see the wizard in his glass house or a flying monkey's armpit in a blizzard in this I wish you luck Reaper Fall in With some Rolling Shadow It's your halo falling down Can't understand Where I am what is this place Can't feel my hands It's so cold up here in space Wind in the clouds Quite the sight The sun is cold The spinning past Cum laude hope Sight and sound Not the fastest way to know Faith and trust Aurelius Reaper Falling With some Rolling Shadow It's your halo falling down Say goodbye

Nobody's Listening 04:02
lyrics

Shoulder deep within So you hate everybody Because you belong to them And no one seems to question anything They comprehend Pretend It's inside you It's around you It's our secret don't you tell Every body's talking But nobody's listening Open eyes to hear Open ears to see the dream for what it really is Can't you understand this is the prison that we fear Repair It's inside you It's around you It's our secret don't you tell Every body's talking But nobody's listening Shut up shut up shut up Every body's talking But nobody's listening No one seems to question anything They comprehend Shut up Shut up Shut up Nobody's listening

Nigella Sativa 04:13
lyrics

Her body matriarch Somebody shake me until I fall I'm strong but I don't make enough of love And then they say your only Hoping eyes Feeding I become the one you want to be Forever I deceive myself I know you're only everything A lonely sacred heart A cunning capable fable So long to the naked aftermath The crumbled state of holy Folding time Redefine the core reform of all things Togethers lie received in stealth Undone by truth and energy Forgotten days have come A stunning ignorance abounds Succumb to all this mania enough When will the wave crash over Coping mind Bleeding find alone the one you want to be The serpent's spine is feeding lies Control is all they'll ever need

Here I lay down On this sword Fear self-indulgent To the core I say Have mercy Here I wake up Nothing more Steer sideways driving Mi amor I say Have mercy Mercy I say Have mercy

Little One 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Humble the dawn, simple the seed Distant the stars in your stream A thimble of light begins symboling life between The chaos and order of living inside this dream I will be the one to help you see Under the sun tall as a tree Meaning becomes part of me The tin man the lion heart the scarecrow and all they've seen A perfect reality for learning what's meant to be I will be the one to help you see So rise up little one, begin your fight Tomorrow we climb the mountain one step at a time And I will be the one to help you climb Come through the door love is the key A calling is born within me The wolves and the animus a mountain without its peak Let's open with gratitude and see where the spiral leads You could be the one to help me see

Pheonix 03:42
lyrics

Heavy is the heart Is the hand Is the soul Pulsating hive bees Desperate to find their way home Overstimulation Hypnotized by fear It's called procrastination In my devil's ear Let go the black mouth oozes Let go the dark heart weeps It's time to shed the mucus The end of the start is near Down in flames But I rise above again As I stare down this mirror And refuse to look away Heavy is the heart Is the hand Is the soul Pulsating hive bees Desperate to find their way home Overstimulation Hypnotized by fear Verbal mastication Is coming clear Let go the black mouth oozes Let go the dark heart weeps It's time to feed the raven You're holding the stoic spear Down in flames But I rise above again As I stare down this mirror And refuse to look away

Mantichora 05:00
lyrics

Thought about the obvious Thought about letting go for so long Acknowledging the darkness Inside my soul Holding on to all that guilt Holding on to all this pain in my heart My mind goes round in circles I can't let go Caught in the fable I followed the shadow down The ineffable shame Exposed Expunged Blood red emotion drinks me from the inside out I know I will go on Calling out the entropy Calling out all the ways I doubt I'm lost inside this endless loop I can move on It's hard to see the light from here But I know it shines I try and try to speak the truth I can let go Caught in the fable I followed the shadow down The ineffable shame Exposed Expunged Blood red emotion drinks me from the inside out I know I will go on Holy word is the sound of her voice Caught in the fable I followed the shadow down The ineffable shame Exposed Expunged Blood red emotion drinks me from the inside out I know I will go on

As I Breathe 03:08
lyrics
buy track
The road is open but it's hard and cold And every step I take leads me back home To live a selfish life or burn to serve We plant a seed in the unknown As I breathe in the all In this space I belong With this faith in my soul I can breathe in the all Alone we battle on alone we're lost You hold the mirror up in truth I trust Higher As I breathe in the all In this space I belong With this faith in my soul I can breathe in the all The whole is stronger than the parts in turn I'm holding on to Babylon And now this tin man has found his heart I can breathe in the love

You Have All You Need 03:34

Comic book faces are crawling up out of my head Brave is the person embracing the unknown Candle lit angels are comforting my despair Fear and uncertainty blinding me let it go Hold on hold be strong Because I know This is the way back home Counter traces of gnawing bluff get out of my head Craving is certainly chasing the well known Radiant fables are taunting me I will share Mirrored the curtain is opening to come home Hold on hold be strong Because I know This is the way back home Find your restless heart Find your fearless soul Find your way back home Hold on hold be strong Because I know This is the way back home

Gorillas 03:36

These gorillas in my head Won't stop pounding until they get their chunk of flesh The wolves they have gone blind And she's always on my mind She's always on my mind Now in my soul I can feel Something whole Something real I will drive through the rain I'll survive I won't break These gorillas in my head Can be silent Now there's gratefulness instead Understanding in her soul Such a faith affirming truth to know And the wolves they have gone blind And she's always on my mind She's always on my mind Now in my soul I can feel Something whole Something real I will drive through the rain I'll survive I won't break

The Island 05:22
lyrics
buy track
Fisherman go sailing Till he cannot see the shore Casts his net out far and wide Till his hands and arms are sore But the net is always empty And he can't quite understand So he's searching for the marker That will lead him back to land I tried to fight the ocean I tried to part the sea I thought I'd find a place Where you wanted me Fisherman a drifting Drifting through the dark There's no way he can navigate When the clouds obscure the stars He can hear it in the distance And it makes him feel alone Whispers, 'cross the water Push him far away from home I drift across the ocean Alone and lost at sea The sun will rise again Where 'm I gonna be Sometimes to fight is pointless Sometimes it's what you need Sometimes you need a friend Who will set you free Fisherman's an island Stranded out at sea Fisherman don't give up Fisherman is me Sometimes it's smooth sailing And sometimes it's a storm When it tears your sails apart It's time to test the oars I travel 'cross the ocean I need for you to see You're all the kind of things That I want to be I'm finding time feels broken I wish I had a key To wind it back again Back for you and me I thought I'd find a place where you wanted me too I thought I'd find a place where you wanted me too Don't give up I travel 'cross the ocean I needed you to see Don't give up You're all the kind of things That I want to be Don't give up I find that time feels broken I wish I had the key Don't give up To wind it back again Back to you and me Don't give up
