the sun is up the lights are out the end is nigh at least that's what they're talkin' about i'm givin' up on burnin' out i'm just a guy who don't know what he's talkin' about kaleidoscope in Your eyes i don't know why every mornin' i forget the prize a ray of hope in Your song i stand in awe and i forget to keep movin' along
2.
Time-Turner 04:35
i don't know how this should start but it goes somethin' like this there's an aching in my heart what an awful premise just some words just a useless thought draw a line to connect the dots nothin' solved nothin' makes any sense cause nothin' is nothin' i don't know how this should ride but the ride feels all right staring out the window of my life watchin' stars travel through the night i don't know how this should end but i wish that i could mend there's and aching in my heart guess i'm back where i began
3.
Lovely Honey 02:33
lovely honey, bright and fair smile so sunny, wind in hair eyes so honest, words that care hands that bring warming repair lovely honey, time moves on mountains crumble, rivers run when the years have come and gone our old love will still feel young lovely honey, take my hand walk with me through see and land clouds and thunder or blue, blue skies life makes more sense when i look in your eyes
4.
a moonlight beam shinin' through the shadow trees with their shadow leaves lights the way down the street to my dark blue steed with rubber feet i don't know where i'm goin' but i'll probably head on home i don't know what i want from this night but i guess i'll be all right come on show me something that'll hold on come on show me someone that'll hold on the windows down air flowin' by, it makes that sound i love that sound can barely see but i can see enough to take that joy that's sittin' in front of me i don't know where i'm goin' when i lay down to dream i don't know what i want from pictures in my brain but i feel a change lumos, so i see my steps LUMOS! so i get to where i get the wormhole inside my head the black hole inside my chest take me far from here and take me far from her
5.
This Hush 05:28
i am loyal, i am brave i have learned a thing or two i am badger, lion, raven i bleed yellow, red, and blue i am lost in fairy tales sometimes i can't tell the difference when i look in her eyes when she doesn't look in mine i remember how and why i leave it go back from where i came i'd rather lose it before i get a taste i am meeting the right one i am fallin' in love i am doin' what she wants getting rid of all my stuff she don't like what i've become my condition's goin' stale i am not the guy she met i have lost my fairy tales baby, who you want ain't who i am still she tries to tell me that i "ain't a man" so, i just leave it go back from where i came i'd rather lose it than silence what keeps me sane You are the wind in my sails You are the wind in my sails through snow, storm, and hail You are my real life, fairy tale
6.
come out to play my days are goin' gray throwin' pebbles at the window of someone i don't know oh, my hidden stranger oh, my hidden friend oh, my destined lover hope i see you before the end come out to play my hair is goin' gray my life is passin' by without you by my side oh, my hidden stranger oh, my hidden friend oh, my destined lover hope i see you around the bend oh, my love oh, my soul seen it break seen it whole up and down waves that drown out the sound of the beat that pounds and pounds and pounds
7.
did i come at the perfect time for you to walk away in decline? i'm so sad that i showed up for this did i speak at the perfect time so you could interrupt the thoughts in my mind? i'm so sad that i took the time to tell you how much i care now i'm cryin' all the way back home i'm cryin' all the way back into my bed you inconsiderate piece of sick now starts the adventure of erasin' you from my head that new guy you're dancin' with you're tryin' much harder with him i see now there's no way i can win no matter what anyone says love is not a game it's a journey to fully connect filled with realization and pain you'll be cryin' all the way back home you'll be cryin' all the way back into your bed you inconsiderate piece of sick now starts the adventure of erasin' you from your head when you reach the end with all the stories and scars on your hands when you look in her eyes the burden rolls off perforated lines intertwine into a solid love all the way back home you will be love all the way back into your bed you lucky son of gun, she is the one now starts the adventure
8.
in the middle of the night i see angel's eyes i don't know why, but i go blind to whatever track my mind was ridin' i am blindsided i am floored without speech without breath i can see floored without speech dark brown eyes flowin' lines with colored streaks will someone ask this girl to dance? cause when i see her sway there's only brooms and mops in her hands maybe that's the way she likes it maybe she's gettin' sick of it maybe i'm just thinkin' way too much of it i don't know why but you planted a seed of hope inside a future i can't piece together no matter how hard i try i don't know you and that's all right it'll be all right i don't you, but i thank you for makin' things all right for makin' things a little brighter tonight
9.
in my dreams, i'm someone else, somewhere else in my nightmares, i'm right here, but still myself i think there's somethin' wrong with how i'm singin' my song i think there's somethin' right with how i'm gettin' sleep at night i think that all the bad and good are comin' back around at the same time now oh no! i can't feel anything you feel oh no! i gotta get with somethin' real but i just sit in my chair cashin' out, wastin' time, wastin' air i gotta catch a flight to take me far from here the dragon's all right but never takes me anywhere the Phoenix is bright and takes me all the way, all through the night i think there's something wrong i think there's something wrong with me
10.
oh, pretty girl i've seen you walkin' by you glide my flowers on the water my feelings twirl you mix them in my head my heart, my hands are reachin' towards you i don't know why i'm dreamin' this i don't know that i'm asleep this mornin' came far too quickly now, my eyes are beggin' to stay closed my dreams become the chains that tie me down to my apathy and anger i don't know why i'm dreamin' this i don't know that i'm asleep i just know that what i'm seein' here are thoughts i wanna keep i know that i'll wake up this mornin' i know that i'll be tired i know that you're not out there, baby and if you are, you're as far as you can be i'm waitin' here can't you just come near when you walk by in real life i hope i'm not asleep i hope i'm not asleep when you walk by
11.
carry me on Your feathered wings over these mountains, valleys, and streams let me rest for a couple of days carry me from this blurrin' haze bury me in Your endless love as i cast all my cares above save me from the moments that i've destroyed give me a hope that isn't null and void take me far away from myself take me far away, away, away feelin' the air flow through my chest fillin' the space the evil world has left we soar west, chasin' the sunset i can't guess what You will show me next
12.
the book, the page turnin' slowly the crook, the cage doin' my time the scene is goin' sour since i've fallen out of love i don't want to engage, i just wanna turn the page when i took the stage i knew i hadn't lost my way mistook, engraged i found that everybody feels the same the book, the page turnin' so slowly well i'm shook, i'm ashamed that i'm so lonely the scene is goin' sour since i've fallen out of love i don't want to engage, i just wanna turn the page the endless galaxy in the service of the King is shapin' me, it's shapin' me floatin' through the cosmos on winged, bended knees is comforting, it comforts me it's comforting to me rock and rofl until the day i die the hook, the hang the moments come in waves the look, the bang suddenly, another day
