Hidden in a dream
Running with my love on my side
When she calls to me
Can we even find our way home
Hard to tell if it’s day or night
When my thoughts flood the sky
And sand shifts beneath her feet
Leaving me here all alone
If I could be free from this
I’d run from here into the mist
I’d see the Keys
I’d fall in love
I’d lose myself
In the stars above
Walking through golden halls
Opening every door in hopes
I remember
What it’s been that I’m searching for
On the waves off Kokomo
An abandoned boat rocks and rolls
Salt stained wood pulls
farther from the shore
If I could be free from this
I’d run from here into the mist
I’d see the Keys
I’d fall in love
I’d lose myself
In the stars above
If I could be free from this
I’d run from here into the mist
I’d see the Keys
I’d fall in love
I’d lose myself
In the stars above

I'm So Tired

I’m so tired
I can barely keep my head up on my own
I’m so tired
King Morpheus is calling me back home
I try, oh, I try
To brush the sand out of my eyes
I’m so worn
Of counting sheep above my throne
And when I wake in the morning
And I haven’t had much sleep
I count my wishes on the table
Hoping I’ve got more time to sleep
To dream
Drifting in and out of space and time
Blurring lines on the wall
Color runs from everything
The moon dissolves into dawn
I’m so tired
I can barely keep my head up on my own
I’m so tired
King Morpheus is calling me back home
And when I wake in the morning
And I haven’t had much sleep
I count my wishes on the table
Hoping I’ve got more time to sleep
To dream

Mourning Doves
04:21
|
|
||
As I toss my last memory
Into the night
And count the ripples as it
Skips away
Then all that we were
And all that we’ve done
Shine in the wake as it
Tumbles away
Light scatters through the trees
And across the sky
Raising time buried
Long ago
You take my hand
Just like when it began
Shine in the wake as we
Tumble away
Mourning doves
Send this message for me
Please don’t
Fool yourself
And don’t you pray for me
I’m far away
Far away
Far away
Any lapse
Any gaps of thought
Fragment the light
Leaving us incomplete
I take your hand
Unlike how it began
To rewrite a tale
Set in stone
Mourning doves
Send this message for me
Please don’t
Fool yourself
And don’t you pray for me
I’m far away
Far away
Far away
That’s when I realize
Our present colors the past
Our present colors the past
Our present colors the past
As the light starts to
Fade away
And the world to its
Shade of grey
Like a painting
You’re frozen in my mind
I close my eyes cuz I
I just want to stay
Mourning doves
Send this message for me
Please don’t
Fool yourself
And don’t you pray for me
I’m far away
Far away
Far away
I’m far away
Far away
Far away
I’m far away
Far away
Far away

With and Without
06:30
|
|

I laid it all out before infinity
Everything I have undeserved
To think of all that could be
What is mine? What is earned?
They say that all things will fade to dust
Everything I am must return
To think of all that could be
And the common fate for us all
Through the sky
Map the labyrinth of stars
Ever falling
Til they’re out of sight
Feel what’s beyond yourself
What’s beneath your feet
Rising to the light
Some ask for all and get more
Others ask for some and get none
Then who am I to receive
Without sacrifice in return
Through the sky
Map the labyrinth of stars
Ever falling
Til they’re out of sight
Feel what’s beyond yourself
What’s beneath your feet
Rising to the light
To search for love and for meaning
Love can fill the gaps undeterred
To give it all selflessly
Is all it takes to save the world
Is all it takes to save the world
Is all it takes to save the world
Is all it takes to save the world
Is all it takes to save the world

Sandcastles
10:27
|
|

Each grain of sand finds its place upon the map
Filling in and charting out the whole universe
From pools of color, five towers rise above
Of which heaven and earth begin to revolve
I place a lotus safe within the walls
A sandcastle built to last, axis of all
But then the tide comes and melts it all away
Pulls the petals out to sea
Leaving nothing left
Nothing lasts
Nothing stands past the evening tide
Nothing we do stands the test of time
Nothing lasts
Why even try when all must pass
When finally I understand that
Nothing lasts
Do we cry when the concert ends?
Do we sigh when autumn leaves fall?
Do we weep that the night must end?
Or do we learn to live in the moment?
Can we learn to live in the moment?
Nothing lasts
So I learn to love the process
To guide the sand instead of the tide
And feel the sun as it passes by
And to know that one day I'll die because
Nothing lasts
Nothing lasts
The tide falls as the sun starts the day
The lone and level sands stretch far away
