Odyssey
05:10
|

I'm beginning to look around and truly open up my eyes
Casting off the vestiges of a dream
I'm beginning to feel that soon the darkness will be all behind me
And I think I'm ready to let it go
I'm beginning to realize exactly what's been plaguing me
Something I couldn't place but I could feel
Something that lingered on in the fringes of my own perception
Keeping me chained to something that was never real
All at once in perfect clarity
Everything around me falls away
Though I tread within the mystery
I can see
I'm beginning to see the path ahead is where I want to be
Though it seems as distant as the stars
And in the middle of all this doubt the picture is becoming clearer
And I think I'm ready now to let it go
All at once in perfect clarity
Everything around me falls away
Though I tread within the mystery
I can see
I'm beginning to see all of the beauty that had eluded me
My waking eyes cannot deny
Casting off the weight that held me down and kept me like a prisoner
And I think I'm ready to take to the sky
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
I'm sailing away upon my own new subspace odyssey
I'm traveling away to find the edges of the galaxy
Where I can finally find the things I never thought I'd see
And I can find where I belong

Puppet

You, you're the only one that greets me
As I open up my eyes to meet the day
You, you always wear such a pompous smile
As the illusions in my world all fade away
To you, I am an instrument
Spreading inspiration as you please into my mind
You, you seem to overtake my dreams
And entrap me in your seductive reverie
And I beg and I plead and I kick and I scream
And I twist in my bones 'till I'm finally released
There's a lingering thirst
There's a hook in my heart
And it's pulling me back again
Soft eyes, burning alight
You play me like a puppet on a string
Left here, in your clutches alone
While two hands will pass them by
You, you're the one that taunts me
As you flicker and you dance inside my mind
You, you steal away the light of day
And send me whirling and cascading into my dreams
And I beg and I plead and I kick and I scream
And I twist in my bones 'till I'm finally released
There's a lingering thirst
There's a hook in my heart
And it's pulling me back again
Soft eyes, burning alight
You play me like a puppet on a string
Left here, in your clutches alone
While two hands will pass them by
You came and broke all the barriers down
And then you smother me 'till I drown
Still I find, in my mind, you open up my eyes
You give me passion, you give me pain
And the sensation it still remains
You hold the key, and now I see, you are a part of me
You, you cut me open
You look inside my heart and you pull out the truth
You, you're my companion
You'll always stay with me to soothe my tired soul
You, you'll never leave me
You'll always linger like a ghost inside my mind
And I, I can't live without you
I am addicted to the clutches I am in
Soft eyes, burning alight
You play me like a puppet on a string
Left here, in your clutches alone
While two hands will pass them by
Soft eyes, burning alight
You play me like a puppet on a string
Left here, in your clutches alone
While two hands will pass them by

There's something different in the air tonight
Something that lingers just beyond my sight
And for a moment I can hold it if I try
But it escapes me
But I can feel it in my bones now
A subtle changing of the wind
Then I feel it vanish with the evening light
As it escapes me
Then it hits me like a memory that I had forgotten
And I'm wishing for a way to bring it back around again
But it could be something I lost
And it could be something I never had
Or something I held for such a simple fleeting moment
Then it's slipping through my fingers once again
There's something gleaming in the air tonight
It's shining brightly like the moon
And as my mind begins to finally let it in
It escapes me
But I can see it with my own eyes
And I can't begin to comprehend
This ephemeral beauty that will soon leave me behind
As it escapes me
Then it hits me like a memory that I had forgotten
And I'm wishing for a way to bring it back around again
But it could be something I lost
And it could be something I never had
Or something I held for such a simple fleeting moment
Then it's slipping through my fingers once again
Left here in a feeling with no substance
Reaching out, but it's already gone
And it could be something I lost
And it could be something I never had
And it could be something I'm longing for
But I let it pass me by
And it could be something I lost
And it could be something I never had
Or something I held for such a simple fleeting moment
And then it's gone before I had the chance to know it
But while I still recall the feeling, I will hold it
Before it's slipping through my fingers once again

If I Could Fly
04:57
|
|||
In the dark here I crawl through a maze of uncertainty
As I search for the ever-distant light
I have heard there's a path that will lead to prosperity
And it helps to get me through the night
But as I linger here I wonder what the world is like above
And in my mind I see the endless sky that I've been dreaming of
Oh, if I could leave this place, and float away
If I could fly, I'd cast away the burdens of my mind
I'd soar away and leave it all behind
I'd finally be free to see the sky
Held down by the weight of all this hypocrisy
Hungry jaws that will never have enough
I'll climb my way out of this monotony
And catch a glimpse of the sky above
But as I linger here, I dream about a life that's free from chains
And in my ears I hear them whisper that there is no other way
If I could fly, I'd cast away the burdens of my mind
I'd soar away and leave it all behind
I'd finally be free to see the sky
Oh, if I could fly, I'd cast away the burdens of my mind
And I could find a better place to hide
Somewhere unfamiliar where I float above the world
If I could fly, I'd cast away the burdens of my mind
I'd soar away and leave it all behind
I'd finally be free to see the sky
Oh, if I could fly, I'd cast away the burdens of my mind
And I could find a better place to hide
Somewhere unfamiliar where I float above the world
If I could fly, I'd reach above the clouds that keep me blind
I'd breathe in what it is to be alive
I'd have more than I needed to survive
Oh, if I could fly, I'd grasp ahold the joy that I've denied
And I could find a better place to hide
Somewhere unfamiliar where I float above the world

Keep A Light On
05:30
|

Keep a light on
Keep a light on for me
You can ride on through the wind and the trees
But don't leave me here
Don't leave me out here in the cold
Keep a light on
Keep a light on for me
Yes I trust you
But I can't help but see that there's something there
Something that you want to hide
Keep a light
Keep a light
Keep a light on
Keep a light on for me
You're so distant now when we disagree
Where are you
And what do you think that you see
Keep a light on
Keep a light on for me
You're so oblivious to the things that I need
Can't you see
I'm trying to keep this alive
Keep a light
Keep a light
Keep a light on
Keep a light on for me
I can't find out who you want me to be
I can't speak to you
My words always twist in your mind
Keep a light on
Keep a light on for me
You're so quick now to fall into anger and flee
I'm left alone
Holding out my open hands to you
Keep a light
Keep a light
Keep a light on
Keep a light on for me
I'm so sick now of dealing with your jealousy
I can't always be fixing the doubt in your mind
And trying to cater to all of your pride
Keep a light on
Keep a light on for me
You're so silent, turning your back to my pleas
You don't even listen, you don't even care
You can't even tell that I'm gasping for air
Keep a light
Keep a light
Keep a light
Keep a light
Keep a light on for me
Keep a light
Keep a light
Keep a light on for me

Obscured
04:40

You think you know, you think you see
What I am and will always be
What I still think to this day
Could I have had it any other way
Don't presume to know my mind
My truths are hidden deep inside
My thoughts brush against my lips
Held tight behind my kiss
You'll never know, of this I'm sure
My course decided, despite the lure
Why then do I hesitate
Jump, then make the dash
You're never gonna change the past
Turn your head and look away
Turn and face a bright new day
Quick now, time to run
Don't blink, keep your eyes to the sun
Life is here, life is now
Your path will form as you allow
So here's the truth behind the mask
Being free's an overwhelming task
To go beyond, first look within
The answers lie beneath my skin
Stand up tall, despite it all
Another step and you're sure to win
Now I know, now I see
Who I am depends on me
Why then do I hesitate
Jump, then make the dash
You're never gonna change the past
Turn your head and look away
Turn and face a bright new day
Quick now, time to run
Don't blink, keep your eyes to the sun
Life is here, life is now
Your path will form as you allow
Another time, another place
Another dream that hides behind my face
Let go of doubt, let go of fear
Take a step, the path is here
Jump, then make the dash
You're never gonna change the past
Turn your head and look away
Turn and face a bright new day
Quick now, time to run
Don't blink, keep your eyes to the sun
Life is here, life is now
Your path will form as you allow
Jump, then make the dash
You're never gonna change the past
Turn your head and look away
Turn and face a bright new day
Quick now, time to run
Don't blink, keep your eyes to the sun
Life is here, life is now
Your path will form as you allow
Quick now

The Forgotten
09:57
|
|||
Once there was a child in the world of the forgotten
Who'd sit and watch the stage from a stranger's eyes
The lights so captivating, you could lose yourself inside
And the mind of an eager dreamer open wide
Life will pass on by and some dreams may go forgotten
Left collecting dust in a stranger time
Surrounded by the blur of trudging through the hazy darkness
The morning light will bleed into the day
And lately on my mind I find the world I had forgotten
An echo of a dream that used to be
And when I do I find I'm not the same as when I wrought them
The crashing tides of time have got to me
But in this moment I believe
That I could find my way back to such perfect clarity
It seems that I have left something behind
Lost within a maze inside my mind
A piece of the puzzle is missing inside my mind
And now I can't find
Where I drew the line
Where I lost my drive
I've been stuck here treading water trying to survive
And it occurs to me that I'm not where I envisioned
When I used to hold an image
Of the future as a vision of idyllic life
Well here I am
And I paid the price in pennies of sacrifice
A little more apathy will get me through the day
And I convince myself that it's still okay
It's still coming, it's still coming
It's not gone yet, it's still coming
I can't remember the last time I was honest with myself
There's something missing
There's something gone
It left a hole, and now I see
There's something it gave to me, something I lost
Something I failed to see, despite the cost
It's been eating away at me, been wearing me down
Been tearing away at all the certainty I'd found
And in this moment I believe
That I could find my way back to such perfect clarity
It seems that I have left something behind
Lost within a maze inside my mind
Once I held a secret, I held it in my hands
And I could see the future then, before I could understand
Now I know the mystery, but I can't see the truth
And I can't see the picture that I held so fast in youth
And it's gone, and it's gone
When the darkness pulls the strings that keep the light away
And it's gone, and it's gone
Yet I still can feel it flicker out of sight
But in this moment I believe
That I could find my way back to such perfect clarity
It seems that I have left something behind
Lost within a maze inside my mind
And in this moment I can see
The path was always somewhere just beyond my memory
It seems that I have let myself be blind
Trapped within a maze inside my mind
Once I was a child in the world of the forgotten
And as I lived my life I lost myself along the way
Before I am consumed by all the fear that now surrounds me
I'll catch the dying light as it fades away
And lately on my mind I find the world I had forgotten
I can't let it slip away from me
And now I have to find a way to bring back what I lost then
'Cause I won't let it slip away from me

Empty Castle
05:38
|

Here I sit in the empty castle
All the guests have gone away
They once came and went so freely
But one day they left to stay
Only memory remains in here now
And those begin to fade
They always thought that they could return
Something gone, something replaced
But in my open eyes I can see it clearly
Lost and gone away
As I'm here now, I can feel it right beneath my skin
And it lingers, something still remains of what has been
And in moving on, the memories start to slip away
Hidden somewhere in the corners of my mind
Here I sit as I gaze in wonder
Through a foggy windowpane
Through the glass I can see them moving
Spinning in circles, ever the same
All around I can see the statues
Standing frozen in time
Forever waiting for the reveal
Of a future already defined
But in my open eyes I can see it clearly
Lost and gone away
As I'm here now, I can feel it right beneath my skin
And it lingers, something still remains of what has been
And in moving on, the memories start to slip away
Hidden somewhere in the corners of my mind
In my open eyes I can see it clearly
Lost and gone away
Lost and gone away
Lost and gone away
Lost and gone away
