Hold Onto You

I don't believe in magic
My soul is tied to something in the sky, so soon
Like a lunar addict
I always set my sights upon the gun-shy moon
And my bad behavior
When my mind deploys just like a parachute
There's a revelator
Like an apple falling from the great big blue
But it don't fall far
I just don't want to live like I used to do
Always looking on back upon the better old days
Like there's something I knew that I somehow forgot
But I never know how to get back to the start
There's a subtle engagement
Someone's trying to convince me that I'll always belong
But every time that I try can't seem to figure it out
It's just the same old song that I’ve been singing to you
Maybe now is the time that I can just coincide
With the bright new moon
I think that you ought to know that I'm entirely aware
You could tell me I have some issues
And it wouldn't be something new
I'm believing in one that’s different
Someone's telling me I'll pull through
And I know the one thing
I know the one thing I'll do
I know the one thing
I'm just gonna hold on to you
I’m just gonna hold on
Such a strange arrangement
I never seem to get more than I have to give
Footprints on the pavement
Remind me where I've been and how I have to live
Like a stained-glass window
The colors all divide into their separate parts
I'm not looking in though
I've found a way inside to steal a million hearts
But it's never all
Because I just don't want to live like I used to do
Always looking on back upon the better old days
Like there's something I knew that I somehow forgot
But I never know how to get back to the start
It's a subtle engagement
Someone's trying to convince me that I'll always belong
But every time that I try can't seem to figure it out
It's just the same old song that I’ve been singing to you
Maybe now is the time to finally come alive
Like the bright new moon
I think by now you should know that we’re an optimal pair
Cause you could tell me I have some issues
And it wouldn't be something new
I'm believing in one that’s different
Someone's telling me I'll pull through
I’m in trouble when I’m not with you
I’m incorrigible, it’s true
But I’m depending on something different
So just keep telling me I’ll pull through
And I know the one thing
I know the one thing I'll do
I know the one thing
I'm just gonna hold on to you

Ghost In The Room
03:26
|
|||
|
Need a little more time to untangle my mind
Got a little too close to the ghost in the room
He’s a little too smooth, he’s a little too kind
Ain’t got nothing to lose, I’ll be coming down soon
Do you want to get free, do you want to break free?
Are you coming with me, are you coming with me?
He’s been coming on fast, he’s been coming on strong
Like a dirty white sheet with a hole to see through
He’s got something to hide, he’s got something gone wrong
He keeps telling me I’ll be the very same soon
Do you want to get free, do you want to break free?
Are you coming with me, are you coming with me?
Do you want to get clean, do you want to come clean?
Are you coming with me, do you want to come clean with me?
I’m a little bit over my head right now
And a little bit under the pressure
Got a little caught up within the moment
And a little too loose for an adventure
Really got myself in a pretty mess right now
And a little bit outside of my comfort zone
But a little bit wrong could be the next best thing
Just a little more right and I’ll be on my own
I’ll be saying goodnight to you my old friend ghost
He’s in the bedroom
He’s in the hall
Right around the corner
Everywhere you are I see my old friend ghost
He’s in the streetlight
Out in the park
At the stroke of midnight
I’ll be saying goodnight to you my old friend ghost

Rendlesham
04:47
|
|||
|
She woke up in the morning long before the break of dawn
She saw the flashing signal lights appear and she was gone
The forest called her name aloud and beckoned her to run
She said she saw a vision when she looked into the sun
And she had lights in her eyes
She had lights in her eyes
She underwent a change that I could never understand
She had dew upon her forehead, she cast moonbeams from her hands
The name that she was given would not form upon my tongue
She said she'd been appointed by the long awaited one
Rendlesham, the chosen place the ancient ones would enter in
And they had lights in their eyes
Rendlesham, the human race was just beginning to begin
To look into the skies
The air force and policemen could not verify the claim
But swear to God, I know that something happened all the same
The voice that dominated her commanded from within
Erasing and exchanging any trace that might have been
She did not care one bit for all the things I had to give
She said she had transcended them when she had chose to live in
Rendlesham, the chosen place the ancient ones would enter in
And they had lights in their eyes
Rendlesham, the human race was just beginning to begin
To recognize the signs
And finally she understood just what it meant to truly be
To cast all of her weight into an endless sea
The mysteries I had to learn weren't meant for me
Cause she could see the things that I could never see
She knew just what it meant to truly be
To cast all of her weight into an endless sea
The mysteries I had to learn weren't meant for me
Cause she could see the lights up in the sky
She woke up in the morning far beyond the brink of dawn
She could not see the forest and the signal lights were gone
The dew upon her forehead only chilled her to the bone
She longed to hear the voices tell her she was not alone

Boat
05:10
|
|||
|
Let me be as unto you
Just like a boat upon the sea
Where there is nothing more to do
Than simply float upon the deep
Oh, your love is an ocean under me
I let go, you've anchored me motionless to thee
You've made your devotion anchor me
So let my heart be torn in two
If I should wander on the shore
Because I long to be with you
Instead of where I was before
And I know your river was made to capture me
In the flow that led to the sea that enraptured me
I'm letting the sea just enrapture me
And how my heartbeat quickens
As we sail in a new direction
And I stare at your reflection
That I see inside of me
And how my eyelids flutter
As I gaze at your horizon
And I just can't help capsizing
In your love, in your love
Float, float, float
Just a little boat
Never gonna float away from you
Float, float, float,
I'm just a little boat
Don't ever let me float away

Dust Piles High
05:24
|
|||
|
I’ve a sneaking suspicion that there’s something I ought to do
Empty promises that I’ve made pile like dust on the window sill
I’m not a man on a mission but if I was I’d be after you
But then I’d have to get up today and I can’t seem to summon the will
My emotional battery is drained
Don’t have the energy to spend
On fixing a broken smile
It’s just easier to ignore
The rent on the table is buried underneath the pictures frames
That held all the memories that I sometimes can’t recall
Just as soon as I’m able I’ll be back to the same old games
But won't somebody just tell me please that it won’t really matter at all
My emotional battery is drained
Don’t have the energy to spend
On fixing a broken smile
It’s just easier to ignore
That’s what doctors and dentists are for
And it’s not really true
To say that I’ve forgotten you
Cause every time I try this déjà vu
Invades my mind and makes me tired
I should take a vacation, but I don’t really like to fly
So I’ll lay here in bed all day and I’ll watch as the dust piles high
My emotional battery is drained
Don’t have the energy to spend
On fixing a broken smile
It’s just easier to ignore
That’s what doctors and dentists are for

Robot Dance Freak
03:11
|
|||
|
I believe in emphasizing the unseen
In my life nobody seems to care
Every night I pray that I'll be understood
In my dream nobody really minds when they find out that I'm a
Robot dance freak

Walls of Jericho
04:43
|
|||
|
Wash over me with a rhapsody
A sweet angelic melody
That falls between the raindrops in the dawn
Far beyond the land of the whirring wings
Your voice has stirred my heart to sing
And it's echoing and ringing on and on
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Your voice is calling me across the shore
Hallelujah, hallelujah
The walls of Jericho will stand no more
All the roaring of the world resounds
But heaven's secret kiss is found
Amidst the quiet stillness of the morn
On a mountain high above the ground
A strong and mighty trumpet sound
Prepares the coming fullness of the storm
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Your voice is calling me across the shore
Hallelujah, hallelujah
The walls of Jericho will stand no more
The walls are falling at my feet
Your suffering complete
A voice that brings me to my knees
Your spirit song is calling me
On a boat across the sea
A captive finally free
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Your voice is calling me across the shore
Hallelujah, hallelujah
The walls of Jericho will stand no more

Resurrection's Call
05:46
|
|||
|
Olden chapel chimes, ancient bliss
Golden apples shines, the serpent's kiss
All depraved lies, Adam's cry
Star of David rise, and canvas the sky
When the human vessel sways
In the mighty zephyr swarm
Then won't you keep my poor soul warm
Won't you keep my poor soul warm
Set the universe ablaze
So you can calm the storm
When you come to take me home
Jealous faction won, carve the tree
Zealous action done on Calvary
Resurrection's Call, life's blood
Tears of heaven fall, a mercy flood
And the tears of heaven fall
They fall onto my soul
When resurrection calls
And the tears of heaven fall
When resurrection calls
When you come to take me home
And the ruler of the air
He's giving me this hungry stare
As he tries to steal my soul
To drag me down to Sheol
But he can't win this round
Cause I'm following the sound
Of Resurrection's Call
All forgiven now, every trace
Taste the leaven now, saved by grace

Take to the Sky
04:59
|
|||
|
You say "fly out over water"
Your voice assures you're my father
My heart it faints, still each quaking beat
My eyes are weak, teach me to believe
If you hold on and you don't let go
It'll keep me warm in the face of the cold
If you break my fall should I fail when I try
Then I'll spread my wings and I'll take to the sky
I can't do this, I'm unstable
Your hands lift me, you are able
My heart it faints, still each quaking beat
My eyes are weak, teach me to believe
If you hold on and you don't let go
It'll keep me warm in the face of the cold
If you break my fall should I fail when I try
Then I'll spread my wings and I'll take to the sky
I feel the wind at my side
I feel the heat in my bones
I feel the sun shine on me
And I know
I am free

Living With Amy
07:31
|
|||
|
Waking dreams obscuring my sensations
Just trying to recall exactly who I am supposed to be in this iteration
There’s far too much at stake it seems
Enduring dispensation
Cyanide and Adderall extract the smallest dose out of me to further complication
Living with Amy was all very fine
She never needed Control
Night after night how the spirals unwind
With every one taking its toll
People they go where they have to
Believe me I know how I can catch you
If you should fall I’ll be watching
To see if I can just outmatch you
We can see through every deception
Naturally focusing, the laser beams converge on your location
They’re messing with your frequency
There’s clearly interception
Just radio the patch to me, I’ll be right there on the scene
To urge you to your station
Living with Amy I had to be cold
She never needed to know
Every day there’s a play that unfolds
I guess that’s why she had to go
You knew I knew, why did you stay
You should have run like anybody
Else would have done I can’t help you
I’ll need to go after and find you
Control was very clear on how the story bends
We can’t afford to compromise, no loose ends
So hold on to your knife just as the daylight dies
I’ll be right there with you by your side,
But just don’t believe your eyes
Cause everybody lies
Living with Amy was all very fine
She never needed Control
Night after night how the spirals unwind
With every one taking its toll
I’ll get away, you’ll get the short end
Of what I owed you
I’ve got payday, you’ve got a bad friend
I should have told you
Every day slipping away living with Amy
Never the same, oh what a shame, living with Amy
