When I'm away, the borrowed time weighs down on my mind the debt isn't paid and I know that each move forward never can rewind So another day spent working while another chance goes by When I'm away it's all so clear The future is now It's a waste to just dwell upon yesterday There's a present that you'd better get opening Get into it or it doesn't matter anyway The past is fading away, the future is now Sometimes it feels like I'm stretching for something out of reach Things are done for tomorrow the guidebook followed, just as we are told Soon it's revealed, I've been spinning my wheels Wasting time We got it made each sunrise another chance to seize the day It's only my own fault if these days are wasted for whatever excuse I'd make It's an open road and the others we meet help to share the load Now I can see it's all about today, The future is now!

On The Edge 04:19
Small town life in the small town world is where you got your roots you worked real hard from dawn to dusk‘ dirty hands and mud on yer boots Then you started running with the crazy crowd in the city and partyin' late You got a big ego, you're talkin' loud while we sit back and wait I always thought you were the laid back type coz you had an easy style But now it seems you're all hyped up can’t you just sit back for a while You're out on the edge not like you used to be You're out on the edge not like you used to be On the edge!! So you think you need that rat race life in the fast lane all the time are you sure you need that rats paced life runnin' down the line? It seems to me you’re forgetting the people who helped you get where you are yeah you're just ignorin' the people who helped you get this far I think you need to step back once and take stock of who you are Yeah you need to step back once and look at who you are You're lookin' for the answer and you know it's there!!! Don't forget the way it used to be things were simple then and don't think you can’t get back to, back to way back when Try to remember the good old days with family and your friends and don't think you can’t get back to, back to way back when On the edge!!!!!!!!!

Greyed Out 03:28
I take my place in the usual line Another day of faithful worship at the shrine I've run mile after mile just to find I'm no closer to my own piece of mind They say that even the caged bird sings... I'll step off this ledge just to prove that I have wings! Fly, fly Decide on your own Fly, fly Find your way home I look to the sky for a spark of inspiration but find myself blocked by my own hesitation I've made the best of a bad situation or two but in the end it's just more giving in to you Is today the day when I will make my stand, or again surrender to the upper hand? Fight, fight Get yourself free Fight, fight Let yourself see They say that freedom comes with a price and I am willing to make any sacrifice This daily grind is getting old Gotta strike before the iron goes cold I'll keep my dreams on the horizon line Never turn back to what I left behind!! Go, go Reach for the ring Go, go Sever the string!

All For You 04:09
Word is out now can’t turn back Waiting has ended, time to run Visions by the night moved you on Highway dark but for one bright light All for you my love, all for you Risk my love my life for you All for you Poetry in red and candle flame Eyes intently search my soul Memories of love will come to you Riding on the edge of passion Sultry lights and flashing sounds Hang on the edge of letting go We conspire with all desire Made to be close as two are one Hear the pounding of my heart bursting love as you reveal A place where I can be set free Open arms reach out to me All for you

The Hidden 04:12
You left me in Dublin hanging on the phone You disappeared in Sydney when you told me you were home Every time that we connect There's always some inherent threat Forever's just a moment late Forever like your eyes When your train slows down When the ride you're on has ended You'll understand that I have learned your secret There is love there, but it's hidden You say you're stuck in Beijing and banging off the walls Or trapped inside your hotel room or wandering through the malls Screaming you're the very best But you don't know how to rest You only seem to find your thoughts when you are in a cage And then they come as rage Everywhere your anxious eyes Everywhere your cries When your mind slows down When the trip you're on has ended I'll be waiting here to tell our secret There is love here, but its hidden You messaged me from Interlagen "Staying for a while..." "Come and keep me company I need a man who smiles" I am on the next train Followed by the next plane Running for my life If you really care and you're still there when I have landed I will show you something that I've never shown before A love not well hidden

Whiteout 03:07
7.
Into the void, I've found myself deployed Without the walls that pestered me before In every direction I can see only stars But it's just a fraction, the rest lies beyond what's ours Into the Void, I've found myself again Stars pierce into my dreams It seems like stones plunging through the water Sprayed memories fray into the void Like the very best things laid waste at the altar I'll never forget what was lost into the void I can't recollect what was lost into the void I'm trying to make some sense of it all I'm trying to get back up when I fall Sometimes it seems like opportunity From the void looking out, so clear is the beauty! So into the void I've found myself again Such a strange beauty when the blackest night descends In every direction lies an eternal expanse No center, no edge, beginning or end Galaxies push and pull in an infinite dance I'm trying to wrap my mind around this it's like a spoonfull of pain in a cupfull of bliss Once again here I am lacking reason or rhyme Getting nowhere fast but I'm making good time I'll take another step, Into the Void!

Russian Gray 04:00
I’ve been wondering the fields of Russian gray with writers of an age before the wind was in a crystal ball And I’m running try to find a way so I turn another page and find that I’m not the only one to fall I’m on the outside so turn on the radio I’ll take a long drive I’m just ready to go or lay me down I’m running to find a second wind a solitary friend to tell me all the mystery's and lies Falling from some forgotten grace bowing on my face it’s time that i just give up on the ride I’m on the outside so turn on the radio take a slow drive I’m ready to go lay me down

Blue 04:30
I'm so dizzy making you happy if it's the last thing I can do...right You're in a tizzy making my heart blue you must be thinkin that I'm stuck like glue right We're lookin' pretty nothing more do except forget to look the left and look right I'm so happy leaving tracks on you you must think that the view here is pretty nice When there's no more to take what will you do when all is lost but not forsake the love was gone but always here it's something that has become clear Now you're afraid of the dark at night, but it's the light that should make you scared Cold blooded killer smiling in our midst a 10 foot poll no I wouldn't dare
10.
Paradox 03:45
You’re wondering through my line of vision I can see you’re losing energy We’ve been hiding out in all the same places You’re missing my intentions Eloquence seems so unnecessary We’re way past civilized airings You have your ideas of what’s between us, but it’s not what you really think You’ve got what I need Now give it up freely My hearts been running free But Baby you can’t see this paradox Paradox We’re coming to lines of desperation Allurement would be wasted We’ve been hiding out in all the same places You’re pushing me to red Surrender can be extraordinary Abandon is no defence There’s a vacancy hurting deep within me So please return the sentiment You’ve got what I need Now give it up freely My hearts been running free But Baby you can’t see this paradox Paradox Now bring your heart to me

Defiance 03:34
The crows are calling, the leaves are falling It's time to head home And I won't be scared by a chorus of voices I gotta trust mine Cold winds are blowing, as if to shove me back from where I roamed I'm not gonna give in to the easy out I'm defiant! There's a bitter wind howling outside but I got to take it on Freezing cold, I will ride alone until I finally find a way You always warned me to choose fights wisely but this one must be fought for better or.... at the worst I will face the curse and rise against defiantly! Friends and foes are calling out to coax me back from the fire But I gotta stand up and shout it out, in defiance The wind is howling and carrying the voices of denial Fuck the empire, I'm gonna feed the fire, in defiance! Defiance!
12.
Echo 04:39
When I'm fine I'm feeling really fine The sky is bright, my feet are light, the world is mine And when I'm mad It's a rolling boil mad My eyes are red, out of my head, my words are daggers I often wonder where I got these ups and downs And then I visit home and no one notices at all I know that I'm the owner of my actions, they're all mine But it seems like there's an echo bouncing back and forth through time While we grew We thought we were new We felt no pain, the fruited plain, it lay wide open Now we're old Lazy, rich and old We will fight, but not for right, now just for money I often wonder just what happened to that dream But when I start to talk of it, no one wants to listen The latest war, another fight, a dying empire's lies And just another echo bouncing back and forth through time The king is dead long, live the king Another kind of tyrant will pick up and wear his ring It doesn't matter how unique we really think we are We're just another echo of a distant dying star Can't be right Scream into the night We choose our path our race's fate's not predetermined These little plays These repetitious scripts We play the part, we call it art, our role is frozen

Cloud day In the afternoon Wrong way My life Same situation But another love Bad break In the sea of life Makin' time makin' up my time for the real crime Makin' time makin' up my time for the real find Rest up My abilities Represent The average kind Same situation Same lies and ties Wrong take From the other make The door is open And I am looking for... Ten steps From the other room Lookin' out On the avenue No situation Deprived my vibe I'm my own Reality - see?

Hanging On 04:44
At the top of the tower Is a bird’s eye view The sentinel watches Me watching for you You’re the end of my rainbow You’re my fire The heart of a dragon You’re my desire No poison arrow Can seal our fate The sword by my side Will cut through the pain I’m hanging on Though things look dim Over the edge By a broken limb Hanging on Full of doubt Hanging by lo-o-o-ve When there’s no way out I’m hanging on… Oooo, I’m hanging o-o-o-n Remember last summer The rose lost it’s red But the thorn in my hand Will never forget I climb these stairs On a winding path Of concrete slabs To reach for the past My tower of hope Never crumbles and falls Like true love Written on every wall I run my hand Across every crack I’ll throw you a rope So you can climb back Take me in your arms Before the walls fall In this castle dreams The dragon will call I run my hand Across every crack I’ll throw you a rope So you can climb back My coat of arms They will keep you warm Cold as ice But safe from harm My arms outstretched I hear every word From the top of the tower Hear the maiden’s curse Silver eyes An eagle in flight Rescue comes From this last lullabye I’m hanging on When things look dim Over the edge By a broken limb I’m hanging on I’m hanging on I’m hanging on I’m hanging on I’m hanging on

Next To Me 04:57
I saw you look at me today But then you turned and walked away You have to taste love for yourself You just can't eye it on the shelf Another month will never do The time is right for me and you And I don't wanna wait another day I need you now I want you lying next to me Your long and vibrant history Of nearly hooking up with me Doesn't seem to sway your mind at all I'm getting sick and tired of close calls You like to flirt, you like to chat I'm also getting sick and tired of that And I don't want to waste another night Talking and walking I want you next to me You saw me look at you today But this time you didn't look away You have to taste love for yourself I think your gonna take me off the shelf And end your endless history Of never hooking up with me Cause we're not gonna wait another day You want me now And you'll be lying next to me
16.
There's a bright light shining through the dark night blinding It's a white hot spotlight from some source unknown It's like a freight train coming through the cold rain running down the mountainside and you'll find me there It's a warning from the wiser ones that we must keep on gaurd Boulders tumbling down the mountainside and we know where they will fall No rain will fall and the wind won't blow where the trees stand tall and diffuse the glow I plan to sail away and my friends intend to accompany A departure from the way we know It's time to climb on board so rig the sails and cast the ties aside Destination Unknown!! Pitching forward through high seas toward new destiny I couldn't have answered if you asked where I would be Miles away from yesterday Seas are black and skies are grey Yet our spirit is soaring higher day by day Yeah, our spirits are soaring higher day by day Thunderheads loom over violent seas I see dry land... but only in my dreams There's no turning around cast away from our past until our future be found We won't be stopping till the anchor is dropping.... and our feet meet earth! The storm subsides and we end the tour Now we've found new land and proceed onshore The journey has now come to pass And it feels so good to be here at last!

Sonic 04:36
Hey where are you from You don't look much like us Hey why did you come Mind if I have one touch Break down these superstitions Silver Eyes your so malicious I want to take you out tonight I want to see your silver eyes I want to take you out tonight Ride my Sonic Sister ride Hear these angels softly sigh We'll fly through supernova skies Forsake your own position Mistake your composition I'd like to see you one last time I miss your your super sonic cries I want to take you out tonight Ride my Sonic Sister, ride See these angels slowly die We'll fly through supernova skies

Enough Said 05:03
You told me it was a waste of time another idea better left to let die say no more is all I have to say No really, enough said Say no more is what I have to say your contradictions are annoying me coming out of your mouth in foolish ways so shut your mouth and think about it, enough said Your opinion sways based on what stands to be personally gained You told me you had it figured out a wealth of knowledge caused your fountain to spout A great success at crushing mystery you'll do the cutting while the rest are left to bleed it's opinionated exstacy peer in the window and it's reflection you see so the bubble reflects 360 break out of it! Enough said Your opinions sway based on what gains you personally
