Echoes dancing inside you, just observe all their might
If you would let them guide you, on a road to your light
Echoes swirling around you, you're the night to their day
If the darkness surrounds you, they will cast it away
Echoes dancing inside you, they are your second sight
If you would let them guide you, they will take you to light
Echoes swirling around you, in them you can confide
If the darkness confounds you, they will fight on your side
Do you believe in the supernatural, paranormal, talismanic
Even if you don't there are some things that don't fit known dynamics
Some things don't have an answer, no point unlike a lancer
And no amount of banter brings you closer to the truth
The more we learn the sorrow grows
So many things it hurts to know
But it is not worth shrouding proof
Or concealing all the roots
This is not to say I can lead the way
All I know for sure is how much I'm unsure
But in how I've failed, on that I'll spin my tale
I'll show you if one thing is true, it's not too late for you
Echoes dancing inside you, they are your second sight
If you would let them guide you, they will take you to light
Echoes swirling around you, in them you can confide
If the darkness surrounds you, on your side they will fight
The more we learn the void will grow
So many things it hurts to know
But it is not worth shrouding proof
Or concealing all the roots
The more we see the less we feel
So many sights it seems unreal
But it is not worth isolating
To let our hearts grow cold and stale
That is not to prove I know what to do
All I really know is where we shouldn't go
I can see a problem but no solutions yet
It doesn't mean there's no one else on which to place my bets
Echoes dancing inside you, they are your second sight
If you would let them guide you, they will take you to light
Echoes swirling around you, in them you can confide
If the darkness confounds you, they will fight on your side
Echoes dancing inside you, just observe all their might
If you would let them guide you, on a road to your light
Echoes swirling around you, give them all of your faith
If the darkness surrounds you, they will all light your way

Shoot Me Down
03:16
|
|||
There was no one left to turn to
There was nowhere left to run
I searched for so long and couldn't find you
So I turned and watched the setting sun
Gave it everything I had in me
I tried so hard to be a friend
Sometimes everything just ain't enough, I see
And all good things must come to an end
So won't you shoot me down once more
Tell me what are you waiting for
I believe that I'll be fine
I know what to expect this time
Fought many battles to defend you
But the favor hasn't been returned
And if that condition should offend you
Well there is much left you shall learn
Why don't you shoot me down again
Put the confusion to an end
I will take the pain
To me it's all the same
Think of the times I saved your head
And how you look when you scream for mine
You led me down a path I cannot tread
There's no point in sticking around this time
So won't you shoot me down once more
Tell me what are you waiting for
I believe that I'll be fine
I know what to expect this time
So won't you shoot me down again
Put the confusion to an end
I will take the pain
To me it's all the same
To me it's all the same
To me it's all

It's Getting Hot in Here
03:25

Take me into your mind, let me watch your world burn
Let me see through your eyes, I can feel your skin turn
You are the prodigy, you are my ecstasy
You are the world to me
I have a need for you, I want to be with you
No scratch that, be in you
It's getting hot in here
Or is that just my fear
Of your rejecting words
My response much too slurred
Can't even form a thought
Hoped we would tie the knot
Turns out it's just a noose
Too scared you're cutting me loose
Hey, get a grip you fool, if you say these things out loud
You'll rightly be exposed as a creep to all around
You can't see her as more than a means to sexual ends
It's like your cock is talking all nonsense
She really needs a good friend, if you can't offer that then
That is a damning statement on your sense
You're showing patterns here
Of acting on your fear
Too scared to be alone
To act sound on your own
Can't even form a thought
Too busy tying knots
Of bullshit fantasy
She needs more than your greed
It's getting hot in here
You've been consumed by fear
You'll always be alone
If you hear yes in no
Can't even form a thought
Too busy tying knots
Each time it's just a noose
You've been cut loose

I'm gonna write down these words so they're not in my head anymore
My brain says I'm not good enough, I'm lucky to get up from the floor
Every gesture of kindness has me asking what for
Every ship I sail takes me right back to the shore
Gotta type this faster, I can't keep it in my head anymore
My mind shuts itself off every morning in the middle of the bedroom floor
My heart is screaming, get up, what are you waiting for
But my brain retorts that you can never be sure
From the inside looking out, the world's so colorful
Waiting for the thaw out inside my crucible
When I get these words in print, will I feel the stinging anymore
Something keeps telling me I'm better off under the floor
The same voice asking me what I'm trying so hard for
I won't rest until my broken heart is towed back into port
From the inside looking out, the world's so beautiful
Hoping I don't burn out here in my crucible
From the inside looking out, the world's so beautiful
Hoping I don't burn out here in my crucible
From the inside looking out, the world's so colorful
Waiting for the thaw out inside my crucible

Just You and Me
03:45

I know it's hard to know where to start
When the world keeps breaking your heart
Trust me now, I've been down that road
Running fast while time is creeping slow
It seems we share some things alike
Trying to find what suits us right
What if we become a team, endless possibility
Just you and me
That's how it's got to be, don't you agree
Seems like fate
Am I right or wrong to feel so strong about this, here and now, today
You're trying hard, still losing from the start
No one takes time to listen to your heart
And still you walk along the lonely road
Holding on to a never-ending hope
I know the life for us, living at the top
So scandalous, ain't never gonna stop
Just you and me
That's how it's got to be, don't you agree
Against the world
Am I right or wrong to feel so strong about this, just what could we learn
We got style, we got sound
We get looks all around town
We got style, we got sound
We get energy all around, let's break it down
Just you and me
That's how it's got to be, don't you agree
It seems like fate
Am I right or wrong to feel so strong about this, here and now, today, today, to WK50
Just you and me
That's how it's got to be, don't you agree
Against the world
Am I right or wrong to feel so strong, the competition's gonna burn

The Other Side
05:11

Conduct unbecoming
A friend, a lover, a liar
Outside the sun is shining
But in my head it's dark as a moonless night
Come of age falling for lies
And damning the truth behind a disguise
Seal it away with a smile
Is the grass really dead on the other side
On the other side
All my nightmares are on the other side
My disease is on the other side
But the boundary keeps on changing its lines
Won't you stay on the other side
Your face is familiar
It belongs to the soul of a liar
And your voice is peculiar
Once brought me comfort on a moonless night
Here I am, subscribing to truth
Forgetting the lies, leave them in my youth
Seal them away with a smile
Is the grass really greener on the other side
On the other side
All my nightmares are on the other side
My disease is on the other side
But the boundary keeps on changing its lines
Won't you stay on the other side
And at last I'm ready to let you go
If you can too, you'll be surprised what love will follow
On the other side
On the other side
All my nightmares are on the other side
My disease is on the other side
But the boundary keeps on changing its lines
On the other side
All my nightmares are on the other side
My disease
On the other side

Legacy of Love
07:49
|

It's been a long and rugged road
And when I look back I cannot feel proud
There's so much I want to undo
If I knew then what I now know
I wouldn't have tried to muffle my sound
I held myself back through and through
The past is fixed and life goes on
And with my time left I just want
To leave a legacy of love
It's what I should have always done
The best laid plans of mice and rats
Are dashed on the rocks like brigantine ships
The moment our world faces change
The good, just like the bad, will pass
Impermanence is the only true will
In which we all can place our faith
The twilight's image on the lake
The leaves impaled by metal rakes
In distant times when all has passed
I hope my love outlasts
A path ahead has now opened
Where stillness comes into contact with motion
Something more to believe in
Where my stillness meets its motion
The flower wilting in its pot
The oak tree given up to rot
In distant times when dice are cast
I hope I'm worthy to the last
The past won't change and time goes on
And with my life left I just want
To leave a legacy of love
It's what I should have always done
This is what I believe in
Where my stillness meets its motion
