Thought I lost myself
Found my way
The distance that I fell
Jagged terrain
Fracture up ahead
Along my way
As I gaze out from the canyon
Shadow on the plain
I found life
Brimming forth
Found life
Steering course
Found life
A fringe explored
Found life
On the killing floor
Found

Mainsail
04:44
|

Could you recognize my face?
In a crowded room, I wait.
Living in the Empire State
I'm lost sometimes
Are we gonna make our escape?
The open blue awaits
Set a course around the cape
I long for life
Now lean forth, relax
I'll raise the mainsail on the mast
The sun cascades on my back
It casts your shadow on the map
I don't have the time to waste
It’s time we get on our way
We sailed into a tidal break
I steer as well as I can
We came across an island chain
Aquamarine, you won't fade to grey
Living like I own my fate
Swing to the island
On the way down
On the coastline
We can sail away out
From the dull life we live
On the way down
On the coastline
We can sail away out
On the gulf side we will
Find' a way out of my head for the weekend
Trim the sail out, feel the port-side leaning
A hand on the water, head in the sky
Come first light
Sail out

Shelter Cove
04:25
|

Follow down to the riverbend
I know the way
Gun it now through the wilderness
Open out, Pacific bay
The silence
We’ll find it
An hour away
Arriving
Behind me
All quiet on the Palisade
Should I dive in?
Will I sink or swim
Am I reborn?
Do I move forth?
Thunder out on the other end
A violent rain
Comin’ down right overhead
Covered now under the overhang
The silence
We'll find it
In our hideaway
The fog lifts
Beyond us
Open out Pacific bay
If it takes me a lifetime….
Holding back, get on track…
Don’t know how it ends…
Bottle it up inside of me….

Honestly, I can't keep my head up high
Honestly, I can't get a hold on life
You say "What ‘cha wanna do man, will ya go far?"
I say "How do you know who you really are?"
Tell me what it's all about
Livin' like you know yourself
Fake it 'til you make it right
Climbing to a new height
Everybody's growin' up
Wonder how I've ended up
Wonder if I gave myself enough time
I'm livin' my own life
I'm livin' my own life
I don't care how I get mine
I'm livin' my own life
I keep my eyes to the sky like anyone else
I keep my nose to the grindstone workin’ myself
I put my hands to the fire and swallow my pride
I keep my deepest desires on an anchor line
The vines close in
As I dredge through the mire
The floodlights dim
As the trail climbs higher now
I await for the slightest touch of asylum

Cannonball
04:30
|
|||
Your river flows down
Through the canyon seam
Run down the highlands
Flow through me
I found you hanging on to that tree
A hollowed out fallen log
I know that I would reach for you
Would you reach for me?
Your river is rising
Flowing, silent
Reach for you
Would you reach for me?
Your river is rising
Who can I run to?
Who can I see?
I see you go right to the edge
Diving off the rock
Hear the gulls flying overhead
I can’t go on
Are you with me?
I go my own way
Are you with me?
Can’t keep up
Are you with me?
I go my own way
Are you with me?
Gone too far
Cannonball
Right into abyss
Are you with me?
Will you follow me in?
Cannonball
Right into the mist
Are you with me?
Will you let me in?
Who could I run to?
Who can I see?
I see you running up ahead
I try to keep up
Feel the silence of the forest
I come undone

My Canopy
04:34
|
|||
Wake up to a new day
Listen to the banyan sway
Waiting for the summer rain
To fall on high
Gaze upon the open plain
Feel it in the heart of me
Looking for the ghost you left behind
How could you go away?
How could you end me?
How could you fall away into the night?
I can recover then
I can be anything
I can be anyone that you'd like
Fly down into the forest
Climb out to my canopy
Fly down into the forest
I'll wait for you there
I'm hanging on a line
Cascading into light
Far beneath southern skies
Swing through life on a vine
Lying in the sun rays
Peaking through the forest shade
Didn’t seem to notice me wandering by
Looking for a quiet place
To put my head on straight
Deep in the hollow there
My colors ran dry
Fly down into the forest
Climb down you can follow me
Fly down into my forest
I’ll wait for you there
I’m on fire-watch
I see the fire on the plain
I’m on fire-watch
I see the colors of your flame

Swing
04:40
|
|||
You swing from the branches
Run through your house
I can barely keep up
As the darkness surrounds you
Friend of mine, where do you run to now?
Can I try to bring you back somehow?
Are you damaged just like me?
I see right through your scheme
Like a game of hide and seek
If I find you will you find me?
I’m a gull with a broken wing
Forgive me for saying those things
Fall away with my broken dreams
Do you still think I’m in too deep?
You swing from the branches
Run through your house
I can barely keep up
As the darkness surrounds you
Friend of mine where do you run to now?
Can I try to bring you back somehow?
You fall through the crevice
Reach for the sky
I can barely hold on
As you hang off the side
It’s funny how things pan out sometimes
I’ll keep hangin’ on the other side of life
When I swing high
I hit the ground on my own two feet
Friend of mine, how do you swim so deep?
Measure my dive as I follow your lead

Checking Out
05:07
|
|||
City life is not quite like it used to be
Seven years have come and gone
The walls are closing in on me
Afraid to fall away in anonymity
Do I wanna lay an anchor oceanside?
Or drift about the open sea?
The years that I’ve put down
Opening doors, running around
How many years have I put down?
About time to be checking out
The years that I’ve put down
Opening doors, running around
I feel it coming now
On the horizon
Find me
Far away from here
Run free
Fly away with me
Sometimes I feel like everybody’s out for me
Try to navigate through all the cars and lights
And grin through all the vanity
A complicated hive of faded industry
Do I wanna stick it out and waste my time?
And fade into infinity?
The years that I’ve put down
Opening doors, running around
How many years have I put down?
About time to be checking out
The years that I’ve put down
How many more are coming around?
I wanna feel the sunlight now
On the horizon
In the evening light
As the day subsides
I lie awake in bed
And wonder if
I’ll make it out alive
In Pacific time
Would I lose my mind?
I wonder what
I’m gonna take away
And what I’m gonna find
I’m running around, around, around, around again

Pyre
04:22
|
|||
One out of ten
Millions of people
Beginning, end
Falling by the wayside
Am I one of them?
Over my head
"Take it one step at a time," they said
None of this really matters
Even I know that
I’m on fire
Flames surround
In a burning pyre
They’ll break me down
I’m on fire
Flames surround
Break me down
Break me down
When the trees all die and
Their leaves fall down
I wanna find out
I wanna find out
I can breath a sigh of relief
Out loud
I wanna find out
I wanna find out
In the spring we’ll hide
When the rains come down
I wanna find out
I wanna find out
I can breath a sigh of relief
Out loud
I wanna find out
I wanna find out
Hold my breath
Bending over backwards
Start again
Complicated patterns
Am I all there?
Count to ten
Feel I’m fallin’ faster
A bitter end
Beautiful disaster
My glass is overflowing

Paradise Lost
04:36
|
|||
How could I afford to lose my grip?
Clung to this fickle world that I live in
Fantasize about a place I've never been
When I open up my eyes I’m back again
You and I move through life on a different route
Comes down to the paths we pursue
Realize that it takes time to see things through
What’s the point of living high without a view?
I long for the gold sunrise
Paradise lost
On the bright dawn
I wanna stay up all night
Paradise lost
How I long for life
I climb to the top of the tallest tree
To see if the clouds will open up to me
Looking out I see your boat pass through the bay
Coming closer now, I lie in wait
You and I sing through life in a different tune
But the melody’s the same the whole way through
In your eyes I see the sky, a Pacific blue
What's the point of living high without a view?
I long for the gold sunrise
Paradise lost
On the bright dawn
I wanna stay up all night
Paradise lost
How I long for life
