Enough is Enough
04:08
|
|||
Back in the time when pain was not something ignored
Nations still rose up and engaged in brutal wars
That didn't make it right
Now so desensitized
Locked into a cycle and the out we may not find
The gradual pace in which morals deteriorate
Has made it unnoticeable, now are we too late?
I'd like to think that we
As a society
Could eventually agree that we must love away the hate
Enough is enough
End fear with love
Given the chance, would human kindness overcome
All of the cruelty that exists under the sun?
We must make a choice
Solutions must be voiced
Surely, we are poised to bring this planet back to one
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
End fear
With love
With love
With love
With love
With love

Through Your Eyes
06:20
|

Does this red that you see
Look more like green to me
Ya know, I wonder
Does the glow of city light
Make the moon shine less bright
I wish that you could see the world through my eyes
If you're feeling uninspired
Should your craft be retired
Ya know, I wonder
If your life at its best
Is just half of a Rorschach test
I wish that I could see the world through your eyes
Would truth be lies
Frogs be flies
Swarming 'round road-apple pies
Would dark be bright
Wrong be right
As seen through your eyes
If the whole looks like a half
Is there a hole inside your glass
Ya know I wonder
If you're feeling oppressed
Just have a seat, enjoy the rest
I wish that you could see the world though my eyes
Would truth be lies
Frogs be flies
And would you realize everything dies
Would dark be bright
Wrong be right
As seen through your eyes
I wish that I could see the world through your eyes
Through your eyes
Through your eyes
Through your eyes
Through your eyes
Through your eyes
Through your eyes

Erase the Day
06:41
|
|||
My ego got the best of me
Self-awareness sprouted roots and grew into a tree
Its fruit is sometimes very sweet
But not complete
Some connection was lost
My beginnings have been forgotten
And at what cost
I-I-I-I-I-I am on my own
But not alone
To find the link that I've misplaced
I must enter a dimension void of logic, time, and space
I am the whole human race
And I've lost the trace
Do I dream to forget
Live out fantasies of things I might regret
I-I-I-I-I-I wanna know
How can I relate to many or to one?
So much time I waste like rabbits on the run
Who am I to say where consciousness is from?
Another day erased, another rising sun
How can I relate to many or to one?
So much time I waste like rabbits on the run
Now I must make haste before the game is done
Who am I to say where consciousness is from?
Lost inside a haze, life can lose its fun
Another day erased, another setting sun
Another setting sun
Another setting sun
Another setting sun
Another setting sun
Another setting sun
Another setting sun
Another setting sun

Synchronous Dreams
06:02
|
|||
Our life
Is it by design?
The connections we've made
Were they simply waiting for us to arrive
Like a lonely room in the night
Or is it all
Just dumb luck we're here?
The Earth and atmosphere
Turned themselves into a loving Mother, nurturing us
I feel you breathe
The wind rustling leaves
Sense the release
Of tensions running deep
Synchronous dreams
Inner peace
Oh oh
Collective memory
Our lives
Mean more together
The storms we weather
Wash away our weaknesses and leave us better
I feel you breathe
Rise and fall so deep
Kelsey Christine, you mean the world to me
Synchronous dreams
Inner peace
Oh oh
Collective memory

Sleep
04:54
|
|||
Woke up all alone
Soul was frozen to the bone
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Uninspired today
And much to my dismay
I can't sleep this feeling away
Sleep for twenty years
That just multiplied your fears
You can't sleep this feeling away
Thought I'd try once more
To get my foot inside the door
That didn't help this feeling today
I can't sleep this feeling away
Turn off your mind
Slip back inside
Warm place to hide
The emptiness blinds
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
I can't sleep this feeling away
Though I tried
Head to hide
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Anymore
Slam the door
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Though I tried
Head to hide
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Anymore
Slam the door
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Though I tried
Head to hide
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Anymore
Slam the door
Why can't I sleep this feeling away
Away
Away
Away

Riverbed
04:20
|
|||
When I was young
I saw the sun
I had to feel the heat
Sunburnt, with blistering shoulders
I felt no shame in my retreat
A wiser man
Did extend his hand
Said, "I can help you see
It doesn't take all this running
And sunburns just to feel free"
"Just slow your roll
Allow to grow
All the abundant trees
Put your nose to the grindstone
And from your elbow obtain the grease"
"It's not a race
Just keep your pace
You've got to keep your head
If you run like a river
You're face-down in a riverbed"
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Just slow your roll
Allow to grow
All these abundant trees
Keep your nose to the grindstone
And from your elbow obtain the grease
It's not a race
Just keep your pace
You've got to keep your head
If you run like a river
You're face-down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Run like a river
Before you know
You're face down in a riverbed
Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo
Riverbed
Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo
Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo
Riverbed
Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo
Woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo

Question
03:20
|

I've got a question
I've got a question
I've got a question
I've got a question
Is it hard to look yourself in the mirror
After all the silly stunts you pulled last night
I'd like to know just what keeps you from doing
What you know is right
I've got a question
I've got a question
I've got a question
I've got a question
I thought I had exhausted all my options
Yeah, but you and I both know that's not the truth
Is it hard to keep your mind dead-set on winning
When all you do is lose
I've got a question
I've got a question
I've got a question
I've got a question

Touch Your Body
04:17
|

Sway your hips when you know that it's your right
Don't mean you've got to give it up tonight
Just let me say you're giving me stage fright
You're outta sight
Got the look that lets me know that it's for real
Steaming hot is the way you make me feel
Between us, babe - you know my lips are sealed
Mmm mmm
But I'm telling you I've gotta have it
Telling you I've gotta have it
Telling you I've got to touch your body tonight
Touch your body tonight
Touch your body tonight
Say the word 'cause you know it sets you free
Without love, the world's a catastrophe
I'm telling you the way it has to be
But you can see
And I'm telling you I've gotta have it
Telling you I've gotta have it
Telling you I've got to
Touch your body tonight
Bathe in your flawless light
Oh baby got to touch your body tonight
You know I'll do you right
Oooh touch
Oooh touch
Oooh touch
Say the word 'cause you know it sets you free
Without love, the world's a catastrophe
I'm telling you the way it has to be
But you can see
And I'm telling you I've gotta have it
Telling you I've gotta have it
Telling you I've got to
Touch your body tonight
Bathe in your flawless light
Oh baby got to touch your body tonight
You know I'll do you right
Touch your body tonight
Touch your body tonight
Touch your body tonight
Stay 'til the morning light

Road Signs
05:36
|
|||
Now that it's much too late to say
I noticed before we'd lost our way
Now that it's such a waste of time
We commiserate what's far behind
And these road signs
Are only relevant to those not blind
It can be such a simple fact
Try not to think, just to react
For want of a sober state of mind
We can blame in on all of mankind
But these road signs
Are clear enough if only we can find
Something to shine
We can see it if only we have something to shine
We can feel it if only we have something to shine
Whoa oh oh ooooooooooooh
On the search for enlightenment
So bright, it must be heaven-sent
Something inside of everyone
