Awake And Restless
03:23

Frantic and rapid, my eyes rerun the past
Every face, every place the things that didn’t last
The things that did
And can you miss how it was and like how it is?
Without drowning in the waters of “what if”
I remember you, I remember this
Like the dream I had last night
Lucid and fleeting
Disturbed by teary eyes, a dreary mind in search of ground
A firm horizon
But stable aren’t the waves of sound
Waves of color, waves of life
A million shades , unique and beautiful contrasting in the light
Of our opinions, and what they grow to be
Like the sunset on the forest leaves
The moonlight on your cheek
Full of words but breathless
The world, awake and restless

Rolling Backwards
03:30
|

I look back on decisions of past, way too much
And sometimes who I am feels out of touch, with who I am
But my opinions they’ve been changing by the day, and who’s to say
If I had it right or got it wrong, either way the moments gone
And I can’t fix it if I tried, just wish that I could keep my eyes from rolling backwards
Hindsight puts it in a different view, out of reach of the former you and
Memory will play its games, it has a way of trading blame
Is it me or is it time, has the past been keeping me blind?
Well I can’t see, decisions I had, make me feel bad, cause I no longer believe
In the petty things that kept me away, nights that I would pray
For a change that only I could make
But that first step is so hard to take
And I can’t fix it if I tried, just wish that I could keep my eyes from rolling backwards
Hindsight puts it in a different view, out of reach of the former you and
Memory will play its games, it has a way of trading blame
Is it me or is it time, has the past been keeping me blind?
Yea is it me or is it time? The past gonna keep me blind.
Just wish that I could keep my eyes from rolling backward

Get Lost

Broke my fist, punched it in the wall
Despite my best intentions, sometimes thing don’t fall the way they should
And I get mad, mostly at myself
As much as I hate asking, sometimes I could use the help
Is this a bad time?
Cause it always seems to be
I used to stand up
But now I’m on my knees
I’ve got visions, come to me at my night
When I wake, try to remember, but none of it seems right
And I’ve got numbers, running in my head
None of it adds up, I can’t find the meaning in them
Is this a bad time?
Cause it always seems to be
I used to stand up
But now I’m on my knees
Feels like I’m losing my mind
But it wants to get lost
Yea it wants to get lost
Cause what I’m trying to find
Isn’t on any map
Isn’t down any road
That I’ve been on before (x2)
Is this a bad time?
Cause it always seems to be
I used to stand up
But now I’m on my knees
Broke my fist, punched it in the wall
Despite my best intentions, sometimes thing don’t fall the way they should

Where Do We Go

I hope that god, has nothing to do with this
Cause if he does, might be better he doesn’t exist
Now where does it go from here?
Now where do we go from here?
Yea where does it go from here?
Where do we go from here?
I made a stand
I didn’t give in for once
But once you climb out of that cave
Your eyes cannot see in the sun
Now where does it go from here?
Now where do we go from here?
Yea where does it go from here?
Where do we go from here?
They say time heals all
But I can tell scars from skin
Don’t know how to stop
We only know how to begin
Now where does it go from here?
Now where do we go from here?
Yea where does it go from here?
Where do we go from here?

It All Could End
04:29

Well I don’t know what you’ve been thinking
But I’m pretty sure, I’m gonna drink it off my mind
I wasn’t ready, to give it up so soon
But someone leaked the ending, and it looks like we’re all doomed
But that don’t change, the way I live
It shouldn’t change, the way that you live
And theres no shame, in never giving in
But don’t wait for tomorrow when tonight it all could end
And that’s OK, I’ve had a pretty good run so far
Sure there’s things I might’ve changed, it could’ve turned out twice as strange
But who’s to say what normal is? Who’s to gauge success?
Is it measured by your own achievements? Or cause to the affect?
And does the catalyst get credit for the movement it creates?
Or does its lack in transformation keep it labeled as a fake?
We’re drawn to what looks different, we’re shamed to stay the same
We give so much damn attention, to the things we claim to hate
And let it change, the way we live
You let it change, the way that you live
And theres no shame in never giving in
But don’t wait till tomorrow
When tonight it all could end
And does that change, the way you live?
It shouldn’t change, the way that you live
And theres no shame, in never giving in
But don’t wait for tomorrow
Cause tonight it all could end
Well I don’t know what I’ve been thinking
But I think it’s time, I’ve gotta get it off my mind
I wasn’t ready, to give it up so soon
But the ticking clock it whispers, that someday we’re all doomed

Unconditional

Think about whats normal lately
Think about the system that you’re in
You’re circuitry is misbehaving
You’ve been having trouble fitting in
And theres more than whatever , more than is ever let on to be
But the infinite chaos repeats itself into simplicity
Its in your face, It’s underneath
Its in your ears, It’s in-between
And I’ve seen that theres a chance
Maybe we could find a way
To never have to worry
That we’d have to explain ourselves
Think about whats normal lately
Think about what you’ve grown to expect
Reality is always changing
It’s based upon the facts that you accept
And its only whatever, who’s pulling the levers lets on to be
Layers of curtains concealing the workings of destiny
Its in your face, It’s underneath
Its in your ears, It’s in-between
And I’ve seen that theres a chance
Maybe we could find a way
To never have to worry
That we could not to explain ourselves
Its in your face, It’s underneath
Its in your ears, It’s unconditional (x2)
Unconditional

The Heart Tells
04:31
|

Sometimes I swear that I know what you’re thinking
Out late at night well we’ve all felt that way
Like leaves from the same tree but the wind has
Blown us all astray
And there’s a world in between yours and mine now
Where the reflections of the mirrors all collide now
Too many realities overcrowd us
But not all of them you feel
The heart tells but only if you’re listening (x8)
(We’re too loud, we’re too loud to hear it)
Shadows in the streets full of echoes
Chatter from a presence come and gone
In the moment then and now come together
To sing a timeless song
The heart tells but only if you’re listening (x8)
(We’re too loud, we’re too loud to hear it)

Snooze
03:44

Wake up
Can you hear me?
I’m alarming
And I’m repeating
Don’t turn your back to me, I’m just doing what I’m told
If you really want to sleep, I’m easy to ignore
But you can only hide for so long
One more time to realign then I open up your eyes
Now hit the snooze
It’s too cold
The sky is gloomy
You feel safe here
But it’s time you’re moving
Don’t turn your back to me, I’m just doing what I’m told
If you really want to sleep, I’m easy to ignore
But you can only hide for so long
One more time to realign then I open up your eyes
Now hit the snooze
You gotta get up (x2)
You gotta get out of bed
You gotta get up (x2)
Get out in the world
Get out of your head
Don’t hit the
Snooze

You're Alive
03:10
|

Its early, sun is rising, and I’m lying on my side
Gazing off, for what I swear, feels like hours at a time.
And I’m alive. But I’m not living.
Enough of all this jealous envy, it only makes us blind
I see it all the time, rooms full of empty eyes
And I swear. I swear we’re better than
Gossip driven junkies, boasting narcissistic ties
The center of attention, can’t find no compromise
Does it make you happy?
Or does it just keep you
Distracted by these selfish dreams of having way too much
As soon as it gets full you’ve got to buy a bigger cup
And is it ever? Will it ever be
Enough of all these pessimistic thoughts stringing along
If you’re leading by example well you’re doing it all wrong
And its a black hole, That’ll keep our souls from
Finding their true place, To shine off into space
Showering the darkness, leaving color in its place
And you’re alive. But are you living enough?

Universe
04:42

Sorry that it took so long to get here
It’s not like I had better things to say
I find it hard to keep things simple
But love it when they feel that way
Like we’re alone in the universe
But not so alone in the universe
And I, gaze into the eyes of outer space
Forget that there are things like time and place
And only feel the way you are
It really shouldn’t be so hard to notice
You could never miss it when it’s there
And when you’re ever feeling disconnected
It’ll always pull you back to here
Like you’re at home in the universe
Not so alone in the universe
And I, gaze into the eyes of outer space
Forget that there are things like time and place
And only feel the way you are
Only feel the way you are (x4)
Only feel the way you are
A universe of shining stars
And it seems sometimes they’re not so far
A whole universe inside your heart
