- Track Name: We're All Cartoons
-
On the sidewalks, they walk around
All the same faces facing down
In all I've seen,
Nothing tells your story quite the way
You do every day with that frown.
Photographs of families:
Mom, Dad, puppy dogs, Christmas trees.
A smile is less a lie than frozen memories
So smile wide and say "Cheese."
We have the same familiar face
Have I seen you on TV someplace?
We're all cartoons: an artificial race
And we cannot be erased.
Had it made when he paid for a sheepskin
Half came away as those who came in
He thought he blazed a trail,
Then found it's been there from day one
Now that it's done, life begins.
Pipe dream of pulling $80K
With one little girl and one on the way
The man behind the desk said,
"Sell your dreams away.
Come back then and have a nice day."
We have the same familiar name
Chess pieces in the others' game
You're all cartoons with no one else to blame
When you become all the same.
They'll recall all the things you've done
Not where you stay, but places you've gone
Don't forsake the gift that is
Your time to be alive!
We have arrived to have fun.
We have the same DNA
Looking for a place to play
We're all cartoons, and that's the way I'll stay
Even when we're old and gray. - Track Name: Palace in the Sky
-
You wake up in the morning
In someone else’s bed
Confused how to make the day
And embrace the taste of your own way
You're foggy from a lucid dream
Denying all signs of reality
Abstraction bursting through
Believing all facts from the few
Here we go again, go again, go again
It’s building up inside deep within, deep within
Here we go again, go again, go again
It’s building up inside, deep within, can’t seem to win
Explode into a cloud of life, begin to fly away
Build your palace in the sky, now you're here to stay
Bring your loved ones with you here, tomorrow is today
A frozen picture of the earth below, somebody press play
You make your way through the fumes,
Lost from a hard day at work
Like cat-calls from kids at play
Too gone to hear the words that they say
The clouded taste of the room
Wears on your eyes, most likely to
Mix agents in a weary drool
As it swallows you up into the pool
Here we go again, go again, go again
It's building up inside deep within, deep within
Here we go again, go again, go again
It's building up inside, deep within, can't seem to win
Choice words, a mere keepsake
Spawn from all decisions that you make
Stacked pages, they let light in
To shine on the throne where you're sitting
Cause life is like an open book
The spine's a little twisted
You gotta strive to dive right in
To a story yet to be written
We don't decide where we’re going
With eyes open wide, not knowing
Life's just a ride and time’s slowing
Slow, drifting off, and just floating - Track Name: Superhero
-
They say I'm the rarest breed
With power to do almost anything
I can fly, I can see
Right through any wall in front of me
Rivers race through my dreams
So I can rescue someone downstream
Should've seen no one needs
Saving from a man who's drowning
(The waves are crashing down below)
The grass is greener on the other side
That's why the fence always seems so high
You take one hit as you walk on by
And in your head you'll hear this lullaby
Who is going to save you,
Superhero?
Who needs to be needed at all?
With miles of sky, but he flies so low
So you can watch him as he falls.
It all comes easily
I cannot empathize with inability
So I stand as a king,
But to be like you, I'd give up everything
People come, people go
Nothing's really yours you think you own
So the sum of all we do
For those we leave is more than me or you
(The waves are crashing down below)
No one knows just who you are
The world flies by you while you're out so far
In your head, all the voices grow
The fast, faster you go, the more you slow - Track Name: Prevail
-
It burns inside, a raging fire
Little did you notice we were on the side
Giving you encouragement and also pride
Your anger servers you well
Just close your eyes, open your heart wide
Open up a box and put your hate inside
Leave it on the ground and float into the sky
Young anger serves you well
Between your head and your heart,
What will prevail? - Track Name: Germanium
-
Every day we walk around and see the same part of this life
People in pain let's take a break and learn how to treat one another
Fist clenched and thrown around in acts of rage
Minds closed, unable to turn the page
Help bring everyone together now
When something's wrong people tend to forget
What is right, losing the intentions
And promises of what life is all about
This world is filled with negativity
Rhythm and rhyme lead to harmony
Live, laugh, learn to love each other
What did we do as all the years and seconds passed?
The sand trickled through the hourglass
Did we live for ourselves or for another?
Take these words and use them as they were your own
Your refuse will someday grow to be a throne
Now's the time to reach for what you're dreaming...
Now's the time to reach for what you're dreaming...
Now's the time to reach for what you're dreaming...
Spread the message of compassion
To all the wounded souls you meet
Everybody join together
Join together now in peace - Track Name: Stolen Light
-
Stolen from a star
Grafted to a soul
Endless flight through dark
Make it out, stay whole
True to what you are
The light that shone so pure
trapped inside a jar
Kept from all the world
Give in, capitulate
To all that you endure
Lost
Alone
Without a home
The eyes show clear the soul
For those who care to see
Star-shard lends a glow
A cry is heard, a scream of grief
Longing to go home
Within the basest shell
The fragment rots and weeps
Encased in breathing hell
It never smiles, it never sleeps
Waves of hatred swell
Lost
Alone
Without a home
