Trapped
02:57

They say in space
You can't hear a person cry
But I can hear you
In this place
They say there can be no sight
But I can see you
Floating all alone
Adrift in the unknown
The energy's extreme
I have no sense of home
In search of a dream
I found a Twilight Zone
They say escape's
Not possible for even light
But I feel so dark

Event Horizon
03:11
|
|||
|
Between dreams and reality
There's a space not many see
And fewer still will come to find
They can step across that finish line
They can step across that finish line
Between a quasar and the blackest hole
Lies the comfort you've always known
But what you feel is undermined
Unless you step across that dividing line
step across that dividing line
You've got to have extremes
To appreciate the in betweens
You gotta have nightmares and dreams
If you ever want to get to sleep
In the space you cannot see
Is your every potentiality
Just one turn will realign
The path on which your life's defined
The path on which your life's defined
Deep within the vastness of wisdom
Between the past and what's yet to come
There's the answer there's the sign
That's going to point you towards the finish line
Point you towards the finish line
Glowing clouds fill the sky
In colors incomprehensible to your mind
And each a doorway where you may find
The path you have chosen
But tread lightly I warn you now
For if you're lost you can't be found
Your existence reduced to waves of sound
Trapped in the event horizon
Between dreams and reality
There's a space not many see
And fewer still will come to find
They can step across that finish line
Step across that finish line
It feels so close I can taste it
Take the chance now don't waste it
One more leap then I'll be fine
If I can get across that starting line
Get across that starting line
Get across that starting line

Nebulous
04:16
|
|||
|
Eyes clouding over
Pink and blue and black
Clawing the way back
Out of here
Dark days will be over
Or is it months and years?
How long has it been
Inside of this place?
I could be somewhere
I could be somewhere
I could be somewhere
Some other place
Uncertain of everything
I'm not sure now
If I'm me
There's got to be a place
With setting suns
And rising moons
Sleeping spells and silver spoons
Nebulous feelings welling up in me
I could be somewhere
I could be somewhere
I could be somewhere
Somewhere where I'm free
I could be somewhere
I could be somewhere
I could be somewhere
Somewhere where I'm free
I could be somewhere
I could be somewhere
I could be somewhere
Somewhere where I'm me

Yesterday's Tomorrow
02:28
|
|||
|
Time isn't what it used to be
The past is present and it's all flowing
Sideways
Look into the face of the chronograph
Reorder space and begin to laugh
I don't know where but I do know when
Yesterday's tomorrow and I plan to see you then
Shoot a crooked arrow to see where it lands
Mark the target after to understand
It's always been there
Look into the face of the chronograph
Reorder space and begin to laugh
I don't know where but I do know when
Yesterday's tomorrow and I plan to see you then
What's that ringing in my ears?
The bells are tolling all the years
I ever spent and ever will
And they'll continue on until
They collapse into a quantum state
Where time and matter both relate
Time doesn't have to be what it's been
Take the knowledge you have and you can begin
Again
Look into the face of the chronograph
Reorder space and begin to laugh
I don't know where but I do know when
Yesterday's tomorrow and I plan to see you then

Everything is Groovin'
03:15
|
|||
|
Everything is coming up at me
Everything is rushing around
Everything is movin'
Outlook vastly improvin'
Everything is groovin' to the sound
A sonic pathway reaches out
Grabs me by the ear
It seems impossible but somehow
It might lead out of here
Everything I ever used to be
Is coming back to meet me now
My senses have gone reeling
I can't deny the feeling
I'm becoming one with the sound
Everything we're ever going to be
Is coming back to meet us now
Our senses will be reeling
We can't deny the feeling
We're becoming one with the sound
A sonic pathway reaches out
Grabs us by the ear
It seems incredible but somehow
She might just reappear
Everything is coming up at me
Everything is rushing around
Everything is movin'
Outlook vastly improvin'
Everything is groovin' to the sound
Everything is coming up at me
Everything is rushing around
Everything is movin'
Outlook vastly improvin'
Everything is groovin' to the sound
Everything is groovin' to the sound
Everything is groovin' to the sound

Apparitions in Time
02:29
|
|||
|
Drifting through the haze
These moments feel like days
Though all of time will fit within
The dance floor of a single pin
I'm seeing ghosts float all around
Feeling hope what's lost is found
Soon I begin to see
My missing love come back to me
I reach out to touch her hair
And she dissipates into the air
It's just a vision it's not real
It cannot fill the void I feel
My heart has started breaking
I must have been mistaken
I could swear it was you
Can there be some consolation
To ease this devastation?
I only want you to come back
These ghosts we call memories
Are anything but forgeries
Sometimes they're all that's left
When reality leaves us bereft
You must hold on to what you have
Even a sliver can be a salve
And in that way my heart may heal
Though just a dream it's just as real
My entire motivation
Was just my imagination
My internal concept of you
So what if it's a fantasy?
It may be my only chance to see
No I cannot lose you again

Star Signs
02:16
|
|||
|
Your face I seem to place
Have I seen you before?
Don't tell me I'm keen
to unfurl the mystery
A decade for you
Moments for me
I recall the slight
You're forgetting
What do you mean
That I disappeared?
I know it's been a minute
Since we last were here
A decade for you
Moments for me
I regret the slight
You think I'm imagining
Oh I see
Memory
is ephemeral and real
A star shines above
It's winking bright
Is that a sign perhaps that
Everything's alright?
A decade for you
Moments for me
I begin to see the use
Of plastic memories
Your face I seem to place
I have seen you before
I've joined the pieces
to unfurl the mystery
A decade for you
Moments for me
I forgive the slight
You don't believe

Life on Earth?
02:24
|
|||
|
It can seem like the biggest deal
That nothing else beside it is real
And the sad cold fact is
It's followed by the masses
With nothing less than religious zeal
And there's nothing wrong with it per se
If it helps you through your darkest days
I'm not here to correct you
Or convince you to eschew
Any of your sacred ways
But what if I told you
There's more than just life on Earth?
A vast infinity beyond your planet of birth?
Would you accept me?
Will you reject me?
Which of you is willing to be first?
The best laid path to peace of mind
Is built upon the loving and the kind
For the truest fact is
You only get one chance to
Make the best of what you leave behind

After Life
03:46
|
|||
|
When it's over
When they've gone
You feel like you can't
possibly move on
It's like a part of you
Has died as well
Time spent alone is a
Special kind of hell
And after life
Has had its run
You start to feel
There can be no one
To fill the void
They leave behind
They're always on your mind
When you look
For souvenirs
You find they've left a part with
Everybody near
Family, friends,
And lovers too
Anyone inspired
By what they would do
And after life
Has had its run
It still persists
In everyone
Who stood a moment
In that light
It's always shining bright
Please everyone if I haven't done
Everything I could I tried
Please everyone if I haven't done
Everything I could I tried
Please everyone if I haven't done
Everything I could I tried
Please
It's not over
You are not lost
If I still remember
You never will be gone
Memory's inseparable
From what's really been
Experience still
Counts for something
And after life
Has had its run
That's when you learn
You've touched someone
For that's the moment
Eternity begins
You will exist within
Please everyone if I haven't done
Everything I could I tried
Please everyone if I haven't done
Everything I could I tried
Please everyone if I haven't done
Everything I could I tried
To please everyone

I grew up scared
Living impaired
Didn't go out to avoid the stares
Such a funny thing
To worry about
Took me far too long to figure it out
Things fall from the sky all the time
Without reason but plenty of rhyme
Up now is down
And all around
I see smiles where once there were frowns
Things fall from the sky all the time
Without reason but plenty of rhyme
Things fall from the sky all the time
Without reason but plenty of rhyme
In my rocket I was safe and sound
I'd see the galaxy by looking 'round
Staying put behind my airlock door
But still the need in me for something more
Like a knowledge-seeking UFO
I break my orbit and away I go
I step outside
Arms open wide
Breathe in the air that I had denied
Seize the day
Come what may
And let everything fall into place
Things fall from the sky all the time
Without reason but plenty of rhyme
Things fall from the sky all the time
Without reason but plenty of rhyme
Things fall from the sky all the time
Without reason but plenty of rhyme
In my rocket I was safe and sound
I'd see the galaxy by looking 'round
Staying put behind my airlock door
But still the need in me for something more
Phasors locked now and set for fun
T-minus countdown, three, two, one

Eternity Turns
01:54
|
|||
|
It's enlightening what you can find
When you let go of what's left behind
The past is the past and there it will stay
And it doesn't need to control today
For most of my life I'd worried what I would do
If I had to spend a moment apart from you
Then came the day when you were no longer there
And I'd face forever sensing you everywhere
It's incredible what you can be
If you focus your mind cosmically
The universe is larger than you
But you're a part of its endless value
But the universe has its own sense of play
And I will choose to accept what comes my way
Eternity turns out to be
Eternity turns out to be
Eternity turns out to be okay

Released
01:17

Released from the echoes
Released from the past
Released from anything that holds us back
Released to be what we are meant to be
To live and laugh and learn and love especially
Spent so long remembering
We forgot how to plan
Assumed there was an answer
As if life's an exam
How we move forward is the only test to pass
Released from the echoes
Released from the past
Released from anything that holds us back
Released to be what we are meant to be
To live and laugh and learn and love especially
