You are pulsing in my marrow I’m electric with your youth Plans always work in theory Faith is not a form of proof I’m as patient as a heron Good things always come in time If I wait through the wind and weather Then the big fish will be mine Sometimes when the water starts to rise And all your plans are lost in the tide Step Back Soon you’ll realize Chorus: The world as we know it’s Changing every moment Time can’t be bought or sold & Every single soul Every creature every stone Has a place in this Great Unknown You’re as cozy as a campfire You move through me like a sound We’ll burn down to ash and ember As though we never left the ground Sometimes, when you open up your eyes The first time’s always quite a surprise Step back Soon you’ll realize Chorus:

Reality 03:41
My mind is tired and reeling I’m short on sleep I’m lost in time and don’t know What to believe I stopped the rain from falling I froze the sea Are things the way I see them Or am I asleep? Chorus: Well it feels like its real when I wake up And it feels just as real as a dream So I spin like a wheel in the mornings Could this be my reality? Two day delirium with No end in sight What’s real or reverie, well I couldn’t decide I changed a life by smiling? And I lived for free In my dreams I’m always flying What could it mean? Chorus: But it feels like its real when I wake up And it feels just as real as a dream So I spin like a wheel in the mornings Could this be my reality? Could this be my reality? Could this be my reality? Well its real if you want it to be

Bad Dream 03:51
Twist and I turn Holding a wall Its gonna fall Building me up Breaking me down Down to the ground Things, I’ve forgotten Am I walking in my sleep Seems that its nothing Its nothing, but a bad dream Bridges I’ve burned Lessons I’ve learned I’m out of words Stress building up I’m breaking down Down to the ground How many mornings Can I watch the sky turn pinks Seems that its nothing Its nothing, but a bad dream Things, I’ve forgotten Am I walking in my sleep Seems that its nothing Its nothing, but a bad dream

Soul Remains 03:26
Ancient Survivors, original sin A constant reminder of where we began Manipulative Madness Has led us astray Make believe and Magic They may take what you make But your soul remains? Sit here in silence Laugh in our beds The storm grows around us And clouds up our heads Manipulative Madness There’s more on the way Make believe and Magic They take what we make & the soul remains Lives have been sold off For silicone schemes Shackled and tide up Slowly we bleed Self propelling sadness A moth to a flame Make believe and Magic They take what we make Manipulative Madness Has led us astray Make believe and Magic They take what we make

Ebb & Flow 03:13
Ebb and Flow Comes and it goes Never know Never there, but when it rains it pours Chorus: Well the world has a way Of giving then taking away It’s a game that we play The rules are changing everyday Well the world has a way Of giving then taking away It will all be okay Sun or rain High and low Just go with flow Hot or cold Either way the choice is yours alone Chorus:
6.
DNA 03:47
You’re a different breed DNA like a missing link You need some quick relief I’m not your test tube baby Read it A to Z Disillusioned by reality What will be will be I’m not your test tube baby I’m not your test tube baby Change the codes and lock the door Fight or flight you never know Melted candles, make a wish Your kiss is an apocalypse Your kiss is an apocalypse You could be a queen DNA like a magazine Bring it to the streets I’m not your lab rat baby I’m not your lab rat baby I can feel the heat Shiny new like you’ve never seen Nothing comes for free I’m not your test tube baby Change the codes and lock the door Fight or flight you never know Melted candles make a wish Your kiss is an apocalypse Your kiss is an apocalypse

The soil’s dry Fire burns the smoke it hides the light And burns my eyes It’s made us blind Can’t seem to see the light that hides behind The other side Oh, I can feel there’s something Reaching for me Only the lonely know how Hard it can be The crops have died But a withered stock can still return to life With some time The jars are full An easy spill so please don’t lose control Of your soul Oh heavy water won’t you Wash over me Only the lonely know how hard it can be The spirits cry But we can’t hear we’re too preoccupied With our lives The water flows It’s not that bad if we all let it go And share the load Oh, I can feel there’s something Reaching for me Only the lonely know how Hard it can be Oh heavy water won’t you Wash over me Only the lonely know how hard it can be
8.
I used to live by the ocean My bed was covered in sand Now through some roundabout motion I wound up back here again I used to graze in the Rockies Green rooms and golden lagoons Now through centrifugal motion I shall return there by June Chorus: We roll all over the country like Johnny Appleseed Fresh out of money, but we got what we need We roll all over the country like Johnny Appleseed Always a runnin’ - We go with the breeze I grew up deep in the canyon These hills feel weathered and worn But the hot chicken is fire The rocks all roll like their stones Let’s roll on back to the desert And every place in between Now hoey where should we go next, New York or New Orleans? Chorus:
9.
Passing through Another strange adventure Of broken hearts and brave mistakes But when I’m with you I forget the danger In all the chances that we take Too soon to know But whenever we’re alone It feels like home Chorus: Light as a feather Windblown and weightless You make it easy to fly Life is a desert Love’s an oasis It can be found in the strangest of places Déjà vu Is this a dream (life) that I’m just remembering? The way you move Is living proof that your more than memory You’re in everything Chorus: Too soon to know But whenever we’re alone It feels like home Chorus:
