1. _ Listen
Hey your thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
Hey you're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul
The bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding it harder to digest
And the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed
Hey why can't you listen
Hey why can't you hear
Hey why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere
Hey you now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
Hey you now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness
Your prophecies fail
And your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity
You're clothing yourself
In the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired
Your crucify all honesty
No signs you see do you believe
And all you words just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
You're fighting to the bitter end
If only your heart could open up
And listen

2. _ Heavy
Complicate this world you wrapped for me
I'm acquainted with your suffering
All your weight it falls on me
It brings me down
All your weight it falls on me
It falls on me
Hold me up to those whom you've deceived
Promises you break you still believe
All your weight it falls on me
It brings me down
All your weight it falls on me
It falls on me

3. _ Gel
Color me any color
Speak to me in tongues and share
Tell me how you'd love to hate me
Tell me how you'd love to care
Well I just want to shake us up
Let's mingle
And make it well
Come together now
Yeah let's gel
Clothe me in any fashion
Glitter to so mundane
Tell me how you'd love to change me
Tell me I can stay the same
I just want to shake us up
Let's mingle
And make it well
Come together now
Yeah let's gel
Well let's bungle
And live to tell
How we came together
Yeah how we gelled

4. _ December
Why drink the water from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain
Your cup runneth over again
[Chorus]
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am
Don't throw away your basic needs
Ambiance and vanity
[Chorus]
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
[Chorus]
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing

6. _ She Said
She said that time is unfair
To a woman her age
Now that wisdom has come
Everything else fades
She said she realizes
She's seen her better days
She said she can't look back
To her days of youth
What she thought were lies
She later found was truth
She said her daddy had dreams
But he drank them away
And her mother's to blame
For the way she is today
Life's river shall rise
She Said
And only the strong shall survive
She Said
But I'm feeling quite weak
She Said
Will you comfort and forgive me
She Said
She said she's still searching
For salvation's light
She said she wishes all day
And she prays all night
She said she won't speak of love
Because love she's never known
She said it's moments like these
She hates to be alone
Forgive me
She Said
Forgive me
She Said

7. _ Untitled
Who have I left to please?
Take what you've yet to seize
No more questioning
'Cause love is what love should be
Unveil to me all that you want me to do
But why should I stop bearing allegiance to you?
See I don't believe in the sorcerers or the preachers
I just believe in you
And I don't believe in the scholars of the wise men
I just believe in you
What have I left to prove?
I speak all the words you choose
Confine me in walls of truth
'Cause love does what love should do
No more sentence
All of my pain has been freed
Why should this end when your mercy's all I need?
See, I don't believe in the sorcerers or the preachers
I just believe in you
And I don't believe in the scholars or the wise men
I just believe in you

8. _ Reunion
Change will come
Change is here
Love fades out
Then love appears
Now my water's turned to wine
And these thoughts I have
I now claim as mine
I'm coming home
Change has been
Change will be
Time will tell
Then time will ease
Now my curtain has been drawn
And my heart can go
Where my heart does belong
I'm going home
|

9. _ Bleed
I think her gun's unloaded now
I guess tomorrow will be after all?
Who made me judge and jury here?
It seems I'm bearing witness to her fall
I don't know why she cries to me
(She keeps her pain as company)
'Cause it's only time before we all must bleed
Mirrors of her memory
Reflect nothing with each word she says
Her views have got me spinning 'round
I think she's burning alters in her head

10. _ She Gathers Rain
Today she dresses
For the change she's facing now
And the storm that's raging
A safe haven she has found
She doesn't care
What the prophets say anymore
For the love she had
She has no more
So she gathers rain
She gathers rain
To rinse away all her guilt and pain
She gathers rain
She gathers rain
To wash and cleanse and make her whole again
Her imagination
Has started stretching wide
And her new conviction
No longer will she hide
She's not branded
When prophets speak words of fire
The same love she gives
She requires
So she gathers rain
She gathers rain
To rinse away all her guilt and pain
She gathers rain
She gathers rain
To wash and cleanse and make her whole again

11. _ Where the River Flows
Give me a moment
Got to get this weight up off my chest
Don't feed me sorrow
Pain is a poison I digest
Find yourself another soul to hold
You think you thought I know
Off upon my journey I must go
To where the river flows
I'll give you answers
To the questions you have yet to ask
Silence is beauty
Words they only complicate the task
Make no more wishes
All of my patience has been spent
Gods of the season
Lead me to my next incident

12. _ Simple
Tangle up your twisted tongue
It's simple
Mesmerize your everyday
It's simple
Hey hey can't you see?
Love is all that you should need
Can't you see?
Ease your troubled mind
Let love seek and let love find
It's simple
Ease your weary soul
Let love lead and let love flow
It's simple
Pry into combative times
It's simple
Forfeit all lush concerns
It's simple
Hey hey don't you care?
Love is all that you should share
Don't you care?
Cleansing out your tarnished heart
It's simple
Learning from each other can be simple
Hey hey don't we know?
Love is all that we should show
Don't we know?
|

13. _ Forgiveness
In my silence I would love to forget
But restitution hasn't come quite yet
And with one accord I keep pushing forth
I stretch my heart to heal some more
It used to be all I want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
By now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you
As my seasons change I've now grown to know
When one's heart creates one's soul doesn't owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart with loves display

14. _ Smashing Young Man
Beggar's description
Of what I've been missing
Exploit your position
Don't think I didn't listen
Hey I hope you're feeling
A little better now
Success is so tragic
Pain is your gadget
Your tongue is just lashing
Just bitching by habit
Hey I hope you're feeling
A little purer now
Hey I hope you're feeling
Securer now
Help me I plea
I don't understand
Your ways and your means
You smashing young man
Help me to see
The good you have planned
You're wearing thin
You smashing young man
You preach synthetic-like
Peace is an oversight
It's nothing to ignite
Your self-lit spotlight
Hey I hope you're feeling
A little special now
Hey I want to tell you
I think you're special now
I don't recall asking for guidance
I don't recall wanting to
I don't recall bowing before you
But I'm so impressed
With the kindness in your attitudee

15. _ Tremble for My Beloved
The hour has begun
Your eyes have now opened
It's a world where madness craves
It's a world where hope's enslaved
Or I'll tremble for my love, always
Your windows have opened wide
Your innocence takes flight
It's a world where madness craves
It's a world where hope's enslaved
Oh I'll tremble for your love always
It's a world where madness craves
It's a world where hope's enslaved
Oh I'll tremble for my love, always
It's a world where madness craves
It's a world where hope's enslaved
Yeah I'll tremble for my love, always

16. _ When the Water Falls
She's a picture perfect child of innocence
Searching out in childlike ways for knowledge
Now she's questioning her mother
Yeah she's questioning her father
Yeah she's looking for the answers
To the problem that confronts her
Do you know where the sun goes
When the water falls?
Do you know where the rain goes
When the water falls?
Though I think her subjects could run far and wide
She has centered on the topic of the sky
Now she's questioning her mother
Yeah she's questioning her father
Yeah she's looking for the answers
To the questions that confront her

17. _ Next Homecoming
I leave the cage wide open
I give no words of caution dear
So when you're done revolving
I only ask your presence here
So in the morning when I slow
And the sun soon explodes
I need the world to be controlled
And in the evening when I leave
I need a reason to believe
In the next homecoming yeah
I cleared the road wide open
So put your hand on the wheel and steer
Don't drain this conversation
To only fill it back with tears
So in the morning when I slow
And the sun soon explodes
I need the world to be controlled
And in the evening when I leave
I need a reason to believe
In the next homecoming yeah
Homecoming homecoming homecoming

18. _ World I Know
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Are we listening
Hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
That love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one, into one
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh it's the world I know
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why, don't know why
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh it's the world I know
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world belo
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh it's the world I know
