Eyes to the Sky 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Step into the light It's there if you hold it So grab a ray Cling to Today, it's alright You might not make the past right But you've got this moment Let guilt decay in the shadow of the night 'Cuz you live there You love there The seconds tick to give you wings to fly You live where you're already there Don't let another moment pass you by Eyes to the Sky Eyes to the Sky Check your pulse Double-check your Vision Breathe in, Breather out There's a tear inside your soul It tears a hole in your heart Tears a hole in your spirit Embrace it now, Let it take control Around the clock with this feeling There's never been a better time

When You Said 04:16
lyrics

When you said you loved me There might have just been something When you rolled your eyes at me that way Roll away... I could cry I could measure all my teardrops I could fly away with all my butterflies And misbehave Be a slave to what intoxicates me Be a slave And hope to God this nausea pulls the stops And saves my day When you said you loved me There might have just been something When you rolled your eyes at me that way When you said you loved me Your words would not deceive me A ray of light shot thru me anyway Anyway Me oh my Goosebump shivers stand my hairs up Pitter Pat Trip Tripping Stutter Step Don't! Don't wanna look into your eyes Don't you dare Hook me Handcuff me Harass me I will glare into your stare Pucker up Lean in for kisses from a snake When you said you loved me There might have just been something When you rolled your eyes at me that way When you said you loved me Your words would not deceive me A ray of light shot thru me anyway When you said you loved me I hoped for only nothing I hoped that you would drift and wash away When you said you loved me I wished to God you'd leave me Your words of loss got to me anyway Anyway Anyway Anyway

Oh, Suzanne 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Oh, Suzanne, I kiss your hand - Can you feel me? Suzanne, I kiss your head - Can you hear me? Suzanne, there in your bed - Are you listening? It's so surreal, Suzanne - What's happening? I say, "Please, little sister, don't go Please don't go into the cold" Oh, Suzanne, no hand or eye could ever frame you Suzanne, if you kiss the sky I don't blame you While Mom and Dad and Jimmy sang Amazing Grace Suzanne, I saw life fall from your pretty face I said, "Please, baby girl don't go For in this sleep who knows what dreams will come" You were blended in the sacred and profane - Oh, Suzanne I hope you hear it - we're all a little bit the same - Oh, Suzanne Thanksgiving is calling out your name - Oh, Suzanne Suzanne, I kissed your head but you weren't there I like to think of you floating there in the air I said, "Please, little girl, don't go For in this sleep who knows what dreams will come" You were blended in the sacred and profane - Oh, Suzanne I hope you hear it - we're all a little bit the same - Oh, Suzanne Thanksgiving will never be the same - Oh, Suzanne Suzanne, I kissed your head but you weren't there I like to think of you floating there in the air Suzanne, no hand or eye could ever frame you Suzanne, you kissed the sky I don't blame you

Deaf and Blind 04:06
lyrics
buy track
I remember it all The day when you said, "Why does the world have to be unfair?" We work so hard We feel such pain We drive fast just to go nowhere I remember it all The day of your doubt The day you filled my heart with sunshine, sunshine A cool attraction, a collected scene Eden's here All is everything Ooh, I crash into your rhythm Ooh, I collide inside your mind Stay with me forever Frozen in our minds The moments felt together Love can make us feel deaf and blind Sometimes we just need to feel deaf and blind So stay with me forever I remember it all The fading autumn leaves Yeah, the haunted trees I remember it all Your captive call impaled by Love and perfect purity Ooh, No better time than now Ooh, Love stays with us somehow Stay with me forever Frozen in our minds The moments felt together Love can make us feel deaf and blind Stay, stay with me forever In this tundra we unwind The moments felt together Love can make us feel deaf and blind Sometimes we just need to feel deaf and blind So stay with me forever

Falling Thru the Cracks 04:13
lyrics
buy track
I shot for the stars I over-delivered Still, I undersold A heart turned to winter Here comes the snow Eighteen below Fool's gold I'm told gonna Make me into a big winner Falling Thru the Cracks Some of this, some of that Kindly watch me falling from a window Falling Thru the Cracks A sophisticated ant A hundred thousand multiplied by zero It's none of this or that When you're falling thru the cracks I might have misspoke Of pie in the sky My taste of heaven The sweet bye and bye That beautiful shore Is renegotiated Big Houses Fast Cars Dollar Signs Market Up Aggression

I Wish I Did (sometimes) 04:07
lyrics
buy track
I didn't have the time I treated you like a beggar on a corner I didn't have a good sound byte I didn't have the time I passed you by Isolated, recognize -- I just didn't have the time. I wish I did. I wish I did. I wish I did. But it's gone. You didn't have a chance. Not a single second Not a smile, not a glance You didn't have a chance right then. Some lost hypnotic trance In your smile (It's the same old song and dance) You didn't ever have a chance. I wish I did. I wish I did. I wish I did. But I don't. Sometimes mirrors are the way of the day Sometimes people just walk away They only see themselves like a diamond in the clay. I'm just another jobber up against the ropes I'm still lost in the claws of this urban smoke I only see myself I'm the only one I know. I wish I did. I wish I did. I wish I did. But I don't.

Cherish You Alone 04:30
lyrics
buy track
Well, I tried To drink you outta my skull Sour wine surely took control You're in my heart You're in my head While I'm dreaming of Chesed You're my companion Well, I whined And spouted at the air It's not a crime if no one's there to care I spewed it out My vomit mouth I threw it all up And I lost my kind companion I'd like to cut off my own tongue I'd like to make it all undone I will flow into your motion I'll let go with you and then I will ride into your ocean On its tide I'll soak you in I will crash in waves upon you I will chill you to the bone I will kiss and then caress you I will cherish you Cherish you alone I will Cherish you alone For you, an amulet made of acacia For you a seed to sink in fallow ground For you my glorious is jubilation My sweetest love, you turn me to a hound Oh, nix it all and burn with adoration Oh, nix it all and resonate with love Oh, let it go - these words I say Down in your brain driving me insane Observe me as I nix it all for love I will flow into your motion I'll let go with you and then I will ride into your ocean On its tide I'll soak you in I will crash in waves upon you I will chill you to the bone I will kiss and then caress you I will cherish you Cherish you alone I will Cherish you alone I will Cherish you alone I will Cherish you alone
