Would you believe me if I told you she is sunshine? Would you understand the beauty that I see? Her fire burns so bright, that I know it can only be sunshine I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me But I know that a radiance so true cannot be mine And yet it seems I'm dazzled by the shine This I can't deny And yet I stand, smiling as the lustre meets my eyes Smiling though the glimmer leaves me blind Oh, but I could hold the fire that is so elusive Then I know that I could smile forever more And in my heart, there lies a curious condition That it always wants the light it cannot touch Would you believe me if I told you she is sunshine? Would you understand the beauty that I see? Her fire burns so bright, that I know it can only be sunshine I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me And I know that if I fly too high I'm bound to fall 'Cause these wings of wax can't hold me after all Oh, but still I try And yet it seems that though she means no ill, I never learn That to stay within her light is to be burned Oh, but I could hold the fire that is so elusive Then I know that I could smile forever more And in my heart, there lies a curious condition That it always wants the light it cannot touch Would you believe me if I told you she is sunshine? Would you understand the beauty that I see? Her fire burns so bright, that I know it can only be sunshine I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me

It starts as a feeling washes over me One I've felt a thousand times before It clings like a mist enshrouding all of my reality And I cannot run anymore And I know the situation that's surrounding me Is slowly killing every bit and every part of me But I cannot seem to walk away And I'm faced with a decision, trapped by familiarity Bound by the fear of leaving all of this behind me Facing bleakly into the unknown I hear the clock that's ticking endlessly inside my head And now I find myself at a crossroads of the mind I'm stuck in limbo as I sift through all these memories But I'm still searching for the path I hope to find Well it seems that I'm facing quite a quandary And I still cannot find the way I am surrounded by what is and what should never be Growing more malignant every day And I feel the poison slipping slowly into me As it wears the fraying edges of my sanity But I find the touch sickly sweet There must be a road to find my way back to reality Somewhere outside of the bubble of my apathy But still I linger, holding on I hear the clock that's ticking endlessly inside my head And now I find myself at a crossroads of the mind I'm stuck in limbo as I sift through all these memories But I'm still searching for the path I hope to find I hear the clock that's ticking endlessly inside my head And now I find myself at a crossroads of the mind I'm stuck in limbo as I sift through all these memories But I'm still searching for the path I hope to find When I open my eyes, I find I'm still here Still paralyzed by the crippling fear I can't remain entrapped in this way The pendulum swings as it turns in an endless monotony Now I just know that I have to break free I hear the clock that's ticking endlessly inside my head And now I find myself at a crossroads of the mind I'm stuck in limbo as I sift through all these memories But I'm still searching for the path I hope to find I hear the clock that's ticking endlessly inside my head And now I find myself at a crossroads of the mind I'm stuck in limbo as I sift through all these memories But I'm still searching for the path I hope to find

Lost, lost in an elusive haze Drifting, floating, twirling in a shadowy daze My mind swirls unbound and free Breaching all the rules that bind me Nothing out of place in this blissful confusion Lost in a state of willful illusion So much is chained by the trappings of sense Yet creativity shines through the cracks in a groggy mind In a groggy mind This fog in which I dwell I call my home (What am I doing here? Tell me what I'm doing here) Chaos cleverly crafted into something more (What am I doing here? Tell me what I'm doing here) Reality, a self-created affliction fed by the monster of material addiction Like a mask that shrouds an ever-changing face With dreams of life inside, encased It leaves me dazed, it leaves me blind It leaves me like an empty shell, distracted A stranger to my mind Lost, lost in an elusive haze Spinning, falling, churning in a shadowy daze My mind swirls unbound and free Breaching all the rules that bind me The visions that I see are so strange, yet tempting Telling of a world of my own invention This is the place that cannot be taken Individuality seeping out and breaking free in a groggy mind In a groggy mind This fog in which I dwell I call my home (What am I doing here? Tell me what I'm doing here) Chaos cleverly crafted into something more (What am I doing here? Tell me what I'm doing here) Reality, a self-created affliction fed by the monster of material addiction Like a mask that shrouds an ever-changing face With dreams of life inside, encased It leaves me dazed, it leaves me blind It leaves me like an empty shell, distracted A stranger to my mind And I do not pretend to understand the world in which I live But in my dreams I find there's something that the waking world can't give A certain clarity distilled in all the madness that surrounds me Sometimes it seems the world of dreams is more real than all the posturing I see But I understand what you've got to lose And I understand what you're trying to prove You're looking for something that you don't know how to find But you can't find yourself with all the clutter in your mind Let go Let go This fog in which I dwell I call my home Chaos cleverly crafted into something more Reality, a self-created affliction fed by the monster of material addiction Like a mask that shrouds an ever-changing face With dreams of life inside, encased It leaves me dazed, it leaves me blind It leaves me like an empty shell, distracted A stranger to my mind

I'm looking back from the other side I feel like a stranger in this green crystal palace of mine Other faces live inside the picture now, though it's still the same All at once everything and nothing has changed Here I am now, peering through the mirror of the passing years And here I am now, a stranger in my home Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the beams Goodbye to the stone Goodbye to the dreams The beauty of innocence, unhindered and free Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the trees The same salt-sea smell, the same wind in my hair And if I close my eyes, it's like I'm still there Memories come flooding back to me, and now I can see That maybe the one that has changed is me Here I am now, peering through the mirror of the passing years And here I am now, a stranger in my home Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the beams Goodbye to the stone Goodbye to the dreams The beauty of innocence, unhindered and free Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the trees Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the beams Goodbye to the stone Goodbye to the dreams The beauty of innocence, unhindered and free Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the trees Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the beams Goodbye to the stone Goodbye to the dreams Goodbye to the hideaway Goodbye to the leaves Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the trees Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the beams Goodbye to the stone Goodbye to the dreams Goodbye to the hideaway Goodbye to the leaves Goodbye to the birdhouse Goodbye to the trees

When the darkness takes the world, and I close my eyes to sleep You've got me dreaming of blue eyes And you do When you're not beside me When you're gone, when you're gone, when you're gone Your presence lingers in my heart Where it waits for you again I have no words to give to you That could ever really fully do justice to the way I feel, it's true But to make you smile I wrote this little song for you And I hope it works or I just won't know what to do So if it makes you smile, you'll see how much I care for you And you should know, my dear, my love is more than a silly song can say Your love makes me believe in things I never hoped to wonder It's true, there's something in you I'm captivated by your wonderful and beautiful mind, it's true And the way that I feel I've always known you But I have no words to give to you That could ever really fully do justice to the way I feel, it's true But to make you smile I wrote this little song for you And I hope it works or I just won't know what to do So if it makes you smile, you'll see how much I care for you And you should know, my dear, my love is more than a silly song can say But at least I'm on my way Your voice is so familiar, a comforting and beautiful tone When I think of you, I'm never alone There's no place in the world that feels as much like home As when you're in my arms, and love and truth are all we know I have no words to give to you That could ever really fully do justice to the way I feel, it's true But to make you smile I wrote this little song for you And I hope it works or I just won't know what to do So if it makes you smile, you'll see how much I care for you And you should know, my dear, my love is more than a silly song can say

Autumn flower, autumn flower I don't know why You look so sad and it makes me cry You can't see clear with the dust in your eyes But you look so sad that it makes me cry Autumn flower, autumn flower I don't know why Your fragile petals so attract my eye I'd keep you if I could and take you home, my prize But I can't hold on to what I know will die I left you floating on the wind To brave the world unknown Your beauty shines so bright within It hurts to let you go Autumn flower, autumn flower I don't know why These feelings endure that I can't deny It's easier to stay in a familiar lie But the price of an illusion, I can't abide I left you floating on the wind To brave the world unknown Your beauty shines so bright within It hurts to let you go And letting go of you may be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do But I know it's the ideal and not the truth That makes me linger And looking back I see a mix of memories that will never come to be I say goodbye And turn my eyes to the future Autumn flower, autumn flower I don't know why Your trace as vanished right before my eyes Your delicate beauty lives in my mind I'll think of you, and it will make me smile I left you floating on the wind To brave the world unknown Your beauty shines so bright within It hurts to let you go Autumn flower, autumn flower I don't know why You look so sad and it makes me cry You can't see clear with the dust in your eyes But you look so sad that it makes me cry

There's a prison in the mind That keeps the blind eyes open The waters flow more smoothly When the riverbed is dry Fingers trace the lines So fearfully aware Of imaginary minds That pull the threads of every word There's a silent scream in the waking dream That you dress up as your heart And you hide your thoughts inside Too afraid to share the light In the darkness where you hide Do you see all the things that you have left along the way? Theres a dream you have each night In the eyes that see straight through you The twisting thoughts constrict Afraid of what another might see Longing for the time When nothing seemed to matter The freedom you could find If only you could speak your mind There's a silent scream in the waking dream That you dress up as your heart And you hide your thoughts inside Too afraid to share the light In the darkness where you hide Do you see all the things that you have left along the way? There's a silent scream in the waking dream You've built around yourself A perfect camouflage to free you from your mind And you hide yourself away Never knowing what to say Ever longing for the day When you will find the secret, and your fears will fade away But there won't come a day When there's nothing left to say So don't hide yourself away 'Cause you might find that what you seek Has been there all along

As I lose myself in the unknown My mind is filled with memories There's a soft relaxing silence And my heart, it floats away But oh, when did I my mind to come apart And oh, a sight so beautiful could mend a broken heart Now all the world I see around me Bears an old familiar hue It's something I once held within me But never really knew Now I open my eyes And I look at the world with eyes of wonder I look at the earth and feel alive And I smile as I remember How to fall in love with the sky And I look at the world with eyes of wonder I look at the earth and feel alive And I smile as I remember How to fall in love with the sky My sorrows fade as it surrounds me And I'm held in its embrace I'm filled with joy and true acceptance From my love without a face But oh, when did I my mind to come apart And oh, a sight so beautiful could mend a broken heart There's a whisper on the wind That carries words into my ears It sings me songs that tell of beauty And I have no need to fear Now I open my eyes And I look at the world with eyes of wonder I look at the earth and feel alive And I smile as I remember How to fall in love with the sky And I look at the world with eyes of wonder I look at the earth and feel alive And I smile as I remember How to fall in love with the sky I'm on my way through a beautiful world An unknown shade of a familiar glow Finding joy in the simple momentum Moving on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on And I look at the world with eyes of wonder I look at the earth and feel alive And I smile as I remember How to fall in love with the sky And I look at the world with eyes of wonder I look at the earth and feel alive And I smile as I remember How to fall in love with the sky

I open my eyes Into a room of shadows, that dance around me so happily Hand in hand I open my mind And watch the thoughts that flicker in the air As they settle in the dust, I smile I feel lost in shades of grey When all the moments slip away into a dream within a day And I know that my ambition floats high above my reach So far away But I still hope to find a way to hold the light That shines beyond my eyes And in this life I'm searching To find something that's real I open my heart Its rhythm flows so fluidly And yet it beats so hopelessly confused I open my hands As they fight to cling to time That drips like water through the cracks in me I feel lost in shades of grey When all the moments slip away into a dream within a day I lie awake and wonder Why this feeling won't fade away But I still hope to find a way to hold the light That shines beyond my eyes And in this life I'm searching To find something that's real But I still hope to find a way to hold the light That shines beyond my eyes And in this life I'm searching To find something that's real But I still hope to find a way to hold the light That shines beyond my eyes And in this life I'm searching To find something that's real

Once I had a dream Oh, I was drifting in an endless sea Once I had a dream Oh, I was holding the hand of beauty But oh, for a moment it's not so strange To be floating like a feather in the sky In this place where nothing's complicated All I see is a road stretching out before the dawn And I had been waiting for far too long For something to ease my mind To make me feel whole To show me the way Now suddenly I arrived in the valley of gold And I finally opened my eyes To my dream Once I had a dream Oh, so lovely I hoped I'd never wake Once I had a dream I was holding everything I ever wanted in the world But oh, for a moment it's not so strange To be floating like a feather in the sky In this place where nothing's complicated All I see is a road stretching out before the dawn And I had been waiting for far too long For something to ease my mind To make me feel whole To show me the way Now suddenly I arrived in the valley of gold And I finally opened my eyes To my dream Once I had a dream Oh, I was smiling Exactly where I wanted to be Once I had a dream But now I'm not dreaming And everything's still the same But oh, for a moment it's not so strange To be floating like a feather in the sky In this place where nothing's complicated All I see is a road stretching out before the dawn And I had been waiting for far too long For something to ease my mind To make me feel whole To show me the way Now suddenly I arrived in the valley of gold And I finally opened my eyes To my dream

Cool thoughts elude a tired mind A restless mood No peace to find And I'm caught in the trap that I make The path I see is open wide The storm in me still won't subside I keep carrying on Though the picture is wrong And I don't know what to do to make it right Now I can't seem to find my perfect circle The realization of my ideal My clumsy hands that grasp in each direction Leave me yearning for a focus I could feel The immovable distraction that surrounds my tired mind Leaves me wishing for a peace that I could find I somehow feel the answer's near But crippling doubt won't disappear And I'm caught in the trap that I make Afraid to lose, or pass it by So long confused by subconscious lies I keep carrying on Though the picture is wrong And I don't know what to do to make it right Now I can't seem to find my perfect circle The realization of my ideal My clumsy hands that grasp in each direction Leave me yearning for a focus I could feel The immovable distraction that surrounds my tired mind Leaves me wishing for a peace that I could find I'm stuck in the midst of my dreams Holding tight as it stretches the seams But I still can't find a way to make it whole Now I can't seem to find my perfect circle The realization of my ideal My clumsy hands that grasp in each direction Leave me yearning for a focus I could feel The immovable distraction that surrounds my tired mind Leaves me wishing for a peace that I could find Leaves me wishing for a peace that I could find Leaves me wishing for a peace that I could find

[Instrumental]

Deep within the vast expanding universe Dwells a soul exploring all alone A solitary traveling cosmic dinosaur Searching for a place to call a home Through nebulas of endless stellar beauty It just wants to find a love its never known And though the stars stretch out unceasingly And though the journey seems so long Still this majestic being sets out with an eager heart And sets its sight on the stars Blasting through a maze of space and time Heedless of the dangers it may find For years and years the voyage carried on Yet the goal remained a dream within its mind As it made its way across the universe It found too many souls that lived in pain Beneath the heel of intergalactic villainy Any hope of liberation was in vain In this strife the traveler felt a calling And set out to become evil's mortal bane And though the stars stretch out unceasingly And though the journey seems so long Still this majestic being sets out with an eager heart And sets its sight on the stars Blasting through a maze of space and time Heedless of the dangers it may find Now it takes its hunt across the stars And seeks to right the wrongs and heal the scars So if you spread oppression and hate You should know that you've already sealed your fate And you should beware the cosmic dinosaur You should beware the cosmic dinosaur It crushed the warlord of Ursa Prime And freed the victims of his crimes And though the people cheered, the dinosaur still felt alone It knew it still had to find a home And in the empty depths of space The mind tends to wander Thoughts of a home that was lost And memories to ponder Fate twists a strange way For such a mighty creature But in the end it will be seen If, in turn, such pain can be a teacher And though the stars stretch out unceasingly And though the journey seems so long Still this majestic being sets out with an eager heart And sets its sight on the stars Blasting through a maze of space and time Heedless of the dangers it may find An odyssey begins and sparks a flame And the galaxy will never be the same So if you spread oppression and hate You should know that you've already sealed your fate And you should beware the cosmic dinosaur You should beware the cosmic dinosaur You should beware the cosmic dinosaur You should beware the cosmic dinosaur
