Deep as the ocean High as the sun Some say that happiness Is a warm gun Well I disagree And heres what I say When you see the light You better look the other way Standing beside A brand new day Yet all I see Is quiet dismay But there ain't no use In trudging about Here's a little bag To store away your doubts (Solo) Deep as the ocean High as the sun When will we all Come together as one

A grassy field I begin to heal The open wounds that I start to feel When the world is near my thoughts unclear Until I finally see your here Broken dreams unmended seams I'm not sure that u know just what it means To hold my hand to speak to soon To gaze upon you under the moon There's nothing I wouldn't give To feel again heal again to have your loving arms near again I know I got a snowball's chance in hell So I got no choice but to get in my shell Love is blind, well I don't mind Even if the sun begins to shine Just pull the shades we got it made You know my love for you will never fade Bible burnings weekly earnings We finally find that our thoughts are churning Back and forth and to and fro Till we don't know who we are no more (Solo) I just can't feign, a broken chain I finally see your the one to blame Playing with my mind you'll finally find You can't keep treating me so unkind There's nothing I wouldn't give To feel again heal again to have your loving arms near again I know I got a snowball's chance in hell So I got no choice but to break out my shell

Stay Away 02:44
Stay away From the loathing eyes that point your way Don't let them see That your holding back the person you want to be Cause when it comes down to it The only opinion that matters is your own And when it crumbles down you better be ready to get up without showing The scars that'll heal with a little time And leave you with a clearer mind Mini Avert your eyes From the ugly stain of the deceitful lies Hold it all in Till the sun finally decides to rise again Cause when it comes down to The only opinion that matters is your own And when it crumbles down you better be ready to get up without showing The scars that'll heal with a little time And leave you with a clearer mind

These words they came to me in a dream A sleepy haze, a reverie so it seems Like a set of crooked steps in the snow Leading to a place where the river doesn't flow A lonely troubadour at the end of a road Where all of our ideas are bought and sold To the empty minded man in an easy chair Who cuts out the fat and stores it upstairs A cookie cutter in the shape of a star To feed the people that still seem to starve A desert a tundra that is void of all life A shadow looming as dark as night But I can’t take this anymore Even when the devil comes and pounds at my door I'm not gonna be your player in my game But it don't seems the same Five out of ten times catching yourself in a lie Delusions of adequacy thinking that you could fly Selling your soul is the only way To spurt out lies when you don't have a word to say An alley cat locked out from its home Forced to wander aimlessly through the cold Patchy at best amidst a world of perfection Ooh Search for a new direction Shatter the windows and break the beams Of the house built upon a land that gleams Whether or not is no longer a question Please allow me to make a suggestion But I can’t take this anymore Even when the devil comes and pounds at my door I'm not gonna be your player in my game But it don't seems the same I'm not gonna be your player in my game But it don't seems the same

Fragmented 03:17
Well. I might be a little crazy To think things will mend in Time. But there's always a glimmer Of hope when you hear the Chimes. Sound over the sea spray Which brings me a mellow Mind When will the tempest wither away No one ever tells you that the seasons never really change Pick up those pieces that litter the walls of your soul (triplets) Cause if u don't they will stay there until u grow old (triplets) Take. Me to a place Where the days never seem to End. Where there is no memory Nor any Friends. To rock the boat But I ain't worried Cause The choppy seas will rock me to sleep

about

A record about the great times and awful times that kind of cancel each other out and make life pretty alright. All instruments played by me (with the exception of "The Sunshine Waltz" and "Deep as the Ocean, High as the Sun").
