In the Next Life
04:07
|

Ticking tower tall
Counting the cracks in the wall
The whole world seems so small
Searching for signs of the next life
Spin the crystal ball
No memory to recall
We walk before we crawl
Fumble with me to the next life
I’ve been running in place for ages
I’ve been tryin’ on different faces
I’ve been holding the door for outer spaces
Oh
Searching for signs of the next life
Spin the mirror ball
Endless reflection of all
The velvet curtain calls
Calling us back to the next life
I’ve been playing the part in stages
I’ve been moving through different phases
I’ve been living my life in distant places
Oh
In some sacred realm
Outside the wishing well
Hidden tales do tell
Unmake your mind
’Til it’s safe inside
Unbreak the spell
Untell the time
Distill the trembling stars into wine
Unmake your mind
’Til it’s safe inside
Distill the trembling stars into wine

Rising Tide
04:10
|
|||
Fate
Won’t hesitate to rearrange
And complicate what life creates
The more you give, the more it takes
So make your choice, make no mistake
When the stars that guide you
Fall to the sea inside you
Hang from the edge of dizzy heights
Where the longest hour climbs
May all your darkest days be bright
When you sail the rising tide
Wait
It’s not too late to reawake
Another time another place
The cells divide and relocate
No more do they define you
Hang from the edge of dizzy heights
Where the longest hour climbs
May all your darkest days be bright
May you sail the rising tide

Never be the Same
04:37
|
|||
Back around the upside-down we go
The more you take away the less you know
What lies beyond us
Underneath the black rainbow
Where’s the finish line for those who run
To catch the shrinking shadow of the sun
Beyond the senseless
Ends the only just begun
Break away from the faith of tragedy
You’ll never be the same
Burn the bridge back to how it used to be
We’ll never be the same
Blend among the shallow and the numb
Afraid of who and what you will become
Deny the old world
Face the new and overcome
Break away from the faith of tragedy
You’ll never be the same
Burn the bridge back to how it used to be
We’ll never be the same

Shapeshifter
04:29
|

Shape shifter
Alien drifter
Come away with me
Runnin’ scared so unprepared
Get lost among the trees
Shadowin’ and spiral incandescent silver sting
No one knows the way it goes
What news the new dawn brings us
Oh
See what you believe
Hey you
get up off your knees
Oh
It’s gonna hit from out of nowhere
Hang on
It’s gonna hurt but don’t let go
Something more
Is gonna happen ‘round the corner
Where everything is unknown
Shape shifting
Alien drifting
Phosphorescent form
Here and there still unaware
Tomorrow never born
Time lapsing and collapsing
The past escapes no more
Fading fair in disrepair
Forever holds a trap door
Oh
What is it you see
Ooh hidden in the trees
Oh
It’s gonna hit from out of nowhere
Hang on
It’s gonna hurt but don’t let go
Something more
Is gonna happen ‘round the corner
Where everything is unknown
Whatever the damage done
Whichever the way you run
Whatever you’re hiding from
Whatever the damage done
Whichever the way you run
Whatever you’re hiding from
Whenever the sirens call
Wherever the shadows fall
It’s nothing at all
Whatever the damage done
Whichever the way you run
Whatever you’re hiding from
Whenever the sirens call
Wherever the shadows fall
It’s nothing at all
Whenever the sirens call
Wherever the shadows fall
It’s nothing at all

Saturn Sunrise
03:28
|

Wake up to the Saturn sunrise
Step into to the Saturn sunrise
Come out young spirit
Open your door
Cry out your intention
Stay still no more
Wake up to the Saturn sunrise
Step into to the Saturn sunrise
Bold is your vision’s
Hypnotic gaze
Sparks the ignition
Dawns the new age
Wake up to the Saturn sunrise
Step into the Saturn sunrise
From the garden of ether to evermore
Beneath the clandestine secrets of no return
Lives the glorious being
Here and now
Wake up to the Saturn sunrise
Wake up to the Saturn sunrise
Step into the Saturn sunlight

Raising the Dead
04:41
|
|||
Beyond the deep
Where drowning dreamers sleep
The ocean seeks
The ocean seeks
Await tomorrow’s end
A sacrifice to innocence
Raising the dead
Beyond the dream
The faceless phantom speaks
In no meaning
In no meaning
Await tomorrow’s end
A sacrifice to innocence
Raising the dead
Crack the hour glass
And chase another shadow cast
Raising the dead

Sunshadow
04:31
|
|||
I came round to the sound
Of a voice that cracked like frost on the ground
Told me not to worry now
That the worst is through
Blurry scenes, fever dreams
There’s a message in the mist
But it won’t read
The ghost that went unseen
Looked a lot like you
And nobody knows
Where the sunshadow goes
And nobody knows
What it follows
Parasomnia
Got us unwound
Parasomnia
Embers of
Faded gold
Buried down underground
There’s treasure that disappears when it gets found
It goes up into the clouds
Leaving dust and smoke
Chasing trails, vapour veils
We all hail the somnambulist AWOL
Well it’s nothing like it seems
And a lot like me
And nobody knows
When the sunshadow glows
And nobody knows
When it burns low
Parasomnia
Got us slowed down
Parasomnia
Embers of
Faded gold
Nobody knows
Why the sunshadow grows
And nobody knows
How it blossoms
Parasomnia
Takes us over
Parasomnia
Shadows all

Against the Odds
04:57
|
|||
I never knew
Of the damage done to you
Now the past won’t undo
So turn around or see it through
If scars could fade away
We might go back again some day
We’ll become come what may
Don’t be afraid always
Always
In too far to walk away
There’s a time to face the facts or make a change
If we go against the odds
The odds don’t wait
They just spin us ‘round and ‘round a world so strange
Am I the same as who you wanted me to be
Once a part of your plan, but now you stand apart from me
The ghosts that fade away
May yet come back to haunt someday
So let go of your chains
Don’t take the blame always
In too far to walk away
There’s a time to face the facts or make a change
If we go against the odds
The odds don’t wait
They just spin us ‘round and ‘round a world so strange
Unfamiliar satellites that streak the dark
Roaming on to there and gone they pass along
Once we were a lot like them and wandered off
Flew too high but never reached the sun
Now we’re in too far to walk away
There’s a time to face the facts or make a change
If we go against the odds
The odds don’t wait
They just spin us ‘round and ‘round a world so strange

Up from the Ashes
04:58
|
|||
Up from the ashes
Out of the smoke
Empty and full
Release Us
Tether untether
Here to no more
Wandering souls
Release us
Life reimagined
Destined unknowns
Kick down the door
Release us
I spent the night in the slipstream
Free from the weight of the dream
But nobody’s sure once inside what the message means
One paradigm to another
Trade paradise for peril
But nobody’s sure when the time is right until
Up from the ashes
Out of the smoke
Empty to full
Release Us
Tether untether
Here to no more
Wandering souls
Release us
Life reimagined
Destined unknowns
Kick down the door
Release us
I took the road to recover
Tied to the chain of the world
But nobody’s pure of the heart ’til the mind is unfurled
Up from the ashes
Out of the smoke
Empty and full
Release Us
Tether untether
Here to no more
Wandering souls
Release us
Life reimagined
Destined unknowns
Kick down the door
Release us

Hideaway
06:01
|
|||
Walk me down the undertow
Follow me where all tomorrows breathe and move
In the hidden rooms
Further from the fear turned folly
Dreamless nights and melancholy days we knew
In the hideaway
Oh ahh
Walls won’t keep the rain from fallin’ in
Again and again, my friend
Put your trust in something
Better than being afraid of nothing
Locks won’t keep the dark from getting in
Again and again, my friend
Put your arms around it
Better than being afraid of it
Drifting down the undertow
City streets are symphonies, they swell and swoon
Let them sing to you
In the language of the lonely
Bittersweet becomes the only point of view
In the hideaway
Oh ahh
Walls won’t keep the rain from fallin’ in
Again and again, my friend
Put your trust in something
Better than being afraid of nothing
Locks won’t keep the dark from getting in
Again and again, my friend
Put your arms around it
Better than being afraid of it
