Hey Firefly
How’d you win that horse race?
Never saw it coming
Used to be a disgrace
Never said anything
But that’s how you blew us away
Sleeper in the back row
Didn’t see you listening
Watching through your telescope
I’ve always been this way
Are you listening now?
Never looked my way
But you’re listening now
You didn’t know yourself
Did you darling?
You didn’t think you had it in you
Did you darling?
And you fly, you fly…
And you fly, you fly
Around the way
Around the way
What have you become?

Chasing Shadows
03:48
|
|||
|
In caverns dark and deep
go swimming underneath
for precious things
We were young, we were proud
Had our heads high in the clouds
building towers
to - the - sky
towers to the sky
Until the light descends
into the deepest parts
while we wait for right
we keep on swimming...
Down with the souls, here below
Looking Up
Looking up from the bottom
(Rising up from the bottom)
Don't want to take another day
in this darkness
Now that I have seen the way
how colorful we are
Immersed in fiction
False conviction
Chasing shadows
Around every bend...
No thought to run
From dark below
to save yourself
To keep from sinking...
Down with the souls, here below
Looking Up
Looking up from the bottom
(Rising up from the bottom)
Down with the souls, here below
Down with the souls
Down with the souls, souls

No Lines
02:56
|
|||
|
We met here once before
before the world turned black
never had to wonder
how to find our way back
Now we compare it to a dream
one that's bursting at the seams
pay no attention
to its underlying theme
when the path was white
and there were no lines
outside the garden gate
thick with the wild and waste
endless miles
undivided
echoes from a voice
spoken from a time
when there were no lines

Logos 1 (All or Nothing)
04:34
|
|||
|
Would you
please tell me
what color is
the night?
It’s been such
a long time
the stars
they burn my eyes
I’ll never tell you
that I’m satisfied
Under the lamp post
I think I know my plight
It’s either sky or ground
It’s either up or down
It’s silence or a sound
It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing,
it’s all or nothing
it’s all or nothing at all

Like a breath
Was it really worth the draw
Lightning struck
Will someone catch me if I fall
Shell shock
So tenuous I’m see through
Pleased to
Pleased to meet you
Listen, listen
to the sound
of hearts unbreaking
I’m still listening
for the sound
Just a thought
Keeps me waking in the night
Juxtaposed
Watch me disintegrate
I might
Put on my feathered face
Your smile
Feigns like nothing’s wrong

Stained Glass
03:52
|
|||
|
I see you like stained glass
When the light shines on your face
I’m deep
Deep as a chasm
Like a shadow
Shadow in space
I want to know
Will you show me your soul
All of the patterns of your DNA
The intersection of a billion colors
Like a reflection of a prism’s gaze
You see me through lenses darkly
Without the light I see you fade
Like mystery slowly revealing
In murky pools of shade
I want to know
Will you show me your soul
All of the patterns of your DNA
The intersection of a billion colors
Like a reflection of a prism’s gaze

Underwater
04:37
|
|||
|
Breath in
Imagination grows
In wonder
Just how deep the ocean goes
Feeling strange being
Underwater
Underwater
Not getting wet
Ribbons of doubt
Weave in and out
Like cancer
One part hope and two parts tragedy
When the creature came
Creeping in
Stole the air
It doesn't soak in
Won't touch my skin
Caught in between
Here and pretend
We are all on purpose
Looking for disaster
We are all on purpose
Blaming accident

Breaking Up
03:37
|
|||
|
All this talk is hazy
Even when the stars all align
It isn’t necessarily
Because we’re infallible
or eloquent
And our design is perfected
Cause when I’m calling you
You’re breaking up
When I’m calling you
When I’m calling you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
The story seems to be
All the same things
With their meaning
Torn away
But don’t explain
Oh see it my way
Cause when I’m calling you
You’re breaking up
But I’ll be calling you
I’ll be calling you
Oh when the fault in our lines
Is screaming
Has the blood in our veins
Turned to clay
Under the den of wrong and reason
Speak a whisper to be heard

Cheaper than a Bullet
04:51
|
|||
|
Listening for / the sound / of acceptance
But wounds always speak too loud
Looking for / the action / of love
But apathy’s got it’s blindfold on
A fist is cheaper than a bullet
But your smile will do for now
If I’m honest I can say
I’ve never heard those words
Directed at me
I’m taking my time
But you’re fully loaded
I made up my mind
But you didn’t notice
Feels like a crime
To give you that part of me
When that’s all you can see
In my impatience I have fallen into folly
Hope you won’t hold it against me
I’m taking my time
But you’re fully loaded
I made up my mind
But you didn’t notice
Feels like a crime
To give you that part of me
When that’s all you can see
So tell me I’m wrong
Just tell me I’m wrong
To love you like I do
