Back to the Garden
04:15

I was drifting, a dream within a dream,
a world we've left unseen fuelled by fires of
love like candles in the wind.
Warm whispers from the space between the dead and dying
Oh, sweet nothing!
It all came together in her sleep,
and though she was only seventeen
she would dream about a garden where raindrops bridged the separation.
All was one as it drifted down the stream,
but it was nothing but a dream.
It was nothing...
I've got a funny feeling something's coming our way
and if death is your escape, I've got some bad news for you.
A dream within a dream,
to share the things I've seen wouldn't make it all come true.
But if I could share this dream,
then when I'm dead and gone, I'll pass the candle onto you.
Hands flailing in the still of the night to paint our ancients
Take my empty bones and twist them into gold.
The kingdom waits a child upon its' throne
Say hello to your third eye,
Your connection to the Great Divide
Dead's a man with his eye closed,
running circles,
shuffling 'round the drain.
Feels like I've been here before.
Something so familiar about that face
If life's the age old game of flesh and soul,
love's the way home,
since our fall from grace.
Love will take us back to the Garden...

Eggshells
02:54
|

|
There was a time that I could see the whole world as my family
and only in my age would I divide
a war-torn beach from all the sea, a maker from his recipe,
a pen to write the holes in my disguise.
The wheels of change roll through the street,
no prophet in the embassy,
to wave their burning flags against a sky
that fades each passing day to grey
as hope runs dry and hearts betray
a childhood dream that knew no lines,
the seeds we sowed were left behind,
so far away...
But the worlds' eyes bloomed in the meantime, awake so sudden,
but it's been so long since I've felt so alive,
watch it all fall down in the blink of an eye.
When you break my bones, my soul comes alive.
If this world's in chains, then the key is you and I
This whole world's walking on eggshells lately.

Fathom This...
03:55
|

|
Earthbound, and all around you.
Is life a preview?
I hope in dreaming that I'll find some meaning
to fill my life with
Don't mind me.
I don't know about tomorrow
but right now I've got to follow the voice in my heart
saying all that is was born to fall apart.
And when the clock strikes twelve, my heart is marching too a different beat.
Fathom this,
Father left just enough for everybody.
Who'd put a price tag on life?
Lies persist and assist to deny you a lighter body,
Locked out your own paradise.
Waiting until tomorrow will keep you waiting 'till the grave,
a sign on my way shows me all the ways I've gone astray.
See my biggest fear of all
is that I'll wake up someday unfulfilled with the road I paved
so as these years etch lines on my face...
If you could feel my soul then I'd just want to let you know
that I know there's nothing like the way I loved you
When I say there's no tomorrow, are you hearing what I say?
When a child is sure to follow, I could wear a ring someday.
But without you here in front of me
it makes this cold air hard to breathe
and in a city black and grey
you are the colour in my day.
A pin-sized hole, a king-sized view,
a mountain to my avenue,
a whole new way to live my life today

Perception
05:08
|
|||
|
The brew goes down and it feels right,
so I dip one foot in the twilight,
let it flow with loving guidance through my wounds.
With long lost feelings coming up the pipes again,
but I can't tell where the circle began and where it ends.
This soul's an old one.
Beyond the roads that I could choose
I know there's nothing I can loose.
Shadows danced beyond their forms and took my breath away...
Matter/Mind
Life/Death
Truth/Lies
Perception
Far beyond the world that I can see
nativity to golden satin rivers flowing wild.
Taming nature int he vial, holding dormant properties
in star-crossed lovers or a new-born child
with its' eyes held high, lost in amazement.
I felt something in between, like the energy
that lets me talk and breathe with the vision to see
a source that sees through my heart so tonight
I can find the beauty in everything,
dig down and see myself in everything,
and bow down to the light inside as we bridge the divide,
take a breath and come home.
I'm and old man waiting for the end,
I'm a child in his mothers' arms doing this again,
and if I don't find myself this time around.
Whether I'm here to play pretend or if I'm just an accident.
If I don't find myself this time around...
Here I am, once again,
standing on the edge of death.
A thread that bends turns, ascends,
around the corner taking me above my gameshow.
Life's a gift, no time to lay low.
Love waits, the ace on the table,
face down, right in front of our eyes,
but when the cards turn over I can swear I'm flying, but
It must be hiding...

Skin
04:52
|

|
It's the wrong place to be when the birds and the bees
can't agree on staying alive.
Through the folds in between it would crawl out of me
with a glow and that look in its' eyes.
Born of a moment,
it sure felt a lot like you loved me for more than my skin.
If you find an opening
in through the threads of my atoms, then let yourself in.
In the age of the trees the world that once dwelled beneath
has been buried in their sticks and their stones.
As the ghost stumbles in it will peek through the end
and the view from the peephole said "love for all people"
Born of a moment,
it sure felt a lot like you loved me for more than my skin.
If you find an opening
in through the threads of my atoms, then let yourself in.
Born of a moment,
it sure felt a lot like you loved me for more than my skin.
If you find an opening
in through the threads of my atoms, then let yourself in.

Olive Trees

Will you draw me a window so I can see
the pale blue sky through the wall and the olive tree
You take our land and your murder our families
but you won't take this from me.
Handcuffed,
kneeling with his head down,
I've been sitting here for far too long now,
waiting for this wall to come down.
They took everything I had, so
what's left if half of my soul's my land now,
if I don't have a life to live,
if I don't have a life too.
Handcuffed,
kneeling with his head down,
I've been sitting here for far too long now,
waiting for this wall to come down.
They died no names, no gravestones
God knows it's not fair.
She lay his body down in front of a soldier's barrel.
Will you draw me a window so I can see
the pale blue sky through the wall and the olive tree
You take our land and your murder our families
but you won't take this from me.
Handcuffed,
kneeling with his head down,
I've been sitting here for far too long now,
waiting for this wall to come down.
Young girl,
screaming as the bombs fell.
What could she do to deserve this hell?
The image of her family killed would be locked inside her.
Handcuffed,
kneeling with their heads down,
We've been sitting here for far too long now,
waiting for this wall to come down.
They died no names, no gravestones
God knows it's not fair.
She lay his body down in front of a soldier's barrel.
She makes me feel those things,
I lost my way back there.
But they're dying no names, no gravestones
God knows it's not fair.
Tear it down in the dark of the night.
Tear down this wall bring in the light
They said the battle can't be won,
but this fight for peace has just begun
(The world that we know is slipping away
The shells in the sand are coming our way
We live in a house, you live in a cave.
I can't be a sheep when I can't find my place on the stage)
They died no names, no gravestones
God knows it's not fair.
She lay his body down in front of a soldier's barrel.
She makes me feel those things,
I lost my way back there.
But they're dying no names, no gravestones
God knows it's not fair.
