Why I 03:16
Why I Am I the only one? One who has jumped the gun? Am I the one you fear? I’m already dead, my dear Why I? I just want to celebrate My chance to get things straight Was it wrong to fight? I’ve been trying Still I don’t know what’s right You, me—why’d I try? ‘Cause I am the man outside A man who has been denied I’m the broken man Though it’s not like you’d understand why Why I? When the lightning bite strikes I’m close behind with thunder mind I’m only me, but it's fine to be I don't fear the mirror When the ghosts alive run and hide I take it in stride, I ride I’m one and done with the skeleton These tears make clearer The why I

When I met you at the borderline I opined But if you’ve got the truth, I’ll be quiet then Go, close your eyes And sleep when you’re awake You won’t open the door So I’m giving it up Your reason is incomplete Can you be the grey? Or will you stay and play your childish games? To change Our ways We must slay what slays But careful, lest you hate The beautiful robe you wrap yourself in: Approximation Follow me into the unknowing: The real beginning What are your words even for If they only divide the one we all should be? Can you be the grey? Can you destroy black iron prison gates? We made this place in our disgrace Return: The movement of the way The tides: they roar, now as before Can You Be the Grey? A camp of fools sits on the shore I thought that you’d have read the signs But I forgot your world of lines Though your lines aren’t wrong, they sing no songs To mine, I hope you’ll sing along Please, open the door There’s life inside, if only you’d listen to me Can you feel the grace? Can you be like a child in a different way? Maybe Indeed We will slay what slays With love on this escapade We’ll change Our ways Can you be the grey?

Goldmine 04:10
Goldmine Winding down this year The sphere in my ears needs cleared A mighty reboot Following the leader Is something I promised to you I would never do I will find all the right in a gold mine All the gold in my mind I will know what’s below is a gold mine Golden-minded Shining cavaliers, The buddhas appear far and near Bringing something new Listen and you’ll hear her The Lady who comes with a drum Snuffing out the ruse They're gonna lose I will find all the right in a gold mine All the gold in my mind I will know what’s below is a gold mine Golden-minded

Help Within 04:01
Help Within I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this fate. How did I end up here? I know there’s more to life than learning from my mistakes Still I can’t rid this fear. Consumed by greed and jealousy, some things never change. It seems to be the only way. “Be independent,” “be free,” these are nothing but words to me. I won’t allow myself to be deceived. Chorus: We’ve just begun, I feel too late, invading thoughts that I hate Won’t settle down, not at this rate, give me a chance to break. I find it hard to begin My shadow has become thin And still I wait for help within. What can be done, what can be done to preserve this? Is there a reason why I heal? Am I in control? Does the body own the soul? I’d like to know Why this illusion feels so real. Chorus Chorus

Hanging to Dry When I was young I believed in truth But I got older Found out it was only you When I left that town The laws fell down The funny part is I could never tell you why Now I know Everything but you Come, speak with me We’ll talk about answers and hope, release And all that we are Will all fall away Into something constant Where nothing’s the same If you go don't leave me hanging to dry 'Cause you could turn around and rewind Well it’s not over In fact it’s just begun Open your heart And stare into the sun Forget about the past That shit never lasts Remember your name When you’re fighting your way through it all If you let me I would Do anything for you Come, stay awhile We’ll talk about truth, deceit, and denial Through all of the rain This fire has burned Fueling a mind so eager to learn If you go, don’t leave me hanging to dry ‘Cause everything I loved Became a memory And all that I have dreamed Is nothing I can see you Standing there alone Trapped inside my head Looking for the phone So you can call and say Hello Come, stay with me We’ll talk about answers, hope, release All that we are Will all fall away Into something constant Where nothing’s the same If you go, don’t leave me hanging to dry

Clock Ocean 05:35
Clock Ocean Stain my brain Unholy veins The antidote was promised to work But I came too late I was born this way No choice I made That's no excuse, boy I am through Chasing you in shadows You know what you ought to do Your claims are fake They're veiling hate Listen to me, boy Are you listening? Life is beautiful Boy, be dutiful Old man Do you not understand That life needs dying? The children are crying Look within By dying to sin We begin to transcend Suffering I almost let go Held on although I Didn't understand Who You the truth are Got lost in my own heart But you never left This world we made Although it's made of shame I'm holding out for the real thing We will be transformed Defying the swarm Of murderers Appeal To mom on high She'll kill all the lies Listen to her We're singing Being lives When we forgive One another's wrongs But the love I felt Overwhelmed So I ran along And I'm sorry I knew it all along So let them become one Here in Clock Ocean Tick-tock till then Tick-tocking again
