VERSE 1
I made me make a choice
It wasn't something that
I had in mind before
But now it's all so very clear
And as I sit here writing on
This piece of manuscript paper
I feel so blessed to know
These words will be heard
CHORUS
'Cause we all know that time is sacred
And that people come and go and make mistakes
But we keep holding on to it
Keep holding on
VERSE 2
Why just sit and wonder
When there's so much more to life
Than putting every dollar towards
False ads on TV
The beauty of the world
So vast, yet so inviting
I'd like to see those things
That prove our life's worth.
CHORUS 2X

Separator
03:27
|
|||
|
Don't get up
Before I speak to you
It's not that I've
Got much to disapprove
The words you said, though thoughtful,
Still buried me alive.
Did you think that I
Would really be satisfied?
Oh, separator.
I understand
It must be a sacrifice
To hold my hand
As your life passes on by.
Well, don't expect me
To wait for your return
By then the ashes
Will have already burned.
Oh, separator.
Look into your heart.
Look into your soul.
Something has gone astray.
Where did your love go?

Everything Is More
02:33
|
|||
|
If you choose my heart,
I'll be more than grateful.
For my love is for taking
By you and only you.
And if your heart
Hears my song,
And it echoes the beat.
Then life is our melody
And our love, harmony.
Hold me close
Inside your arms.
The warmth is more than just that.
The view is more than starlight.
With you, everything is more.
Oh, everything is more.
Kiss me gently,
My darling boy.
Your mouth is more than just that.
The taste is more than sweet.
With you, everything is more.
Oh, everything is more.

You Are Not the Same
03:28
|
|||
|
It all happened so fast
The world will never know
What it could have been
It wasn’t anything
As obvious as
A compliment or grin
The people laughed
And carried on
As customary
The external world
Seemed to look like
It all was the same
CHORUS
But you are not the same
You are not the same
There is something inside of you
That’s changed
You are not the same
You are not the same
And I’m scared to know
Where did you go?
VERSE 2
Maybe I am in the wrong
Maybe it’s all my fault
For not seeing sooner
Oh, but I don’t want to think
That way at all
Would you please just talk to me
Is it all in my mind
Am I making things up?
Is this just a bad dream?
If so, please wake me up.
I’ve had quite enough.
Please just tell me why
Chorus 2x

Night Time
01:53

Black
Has covered
The sky
Has turned into
Night
Time's when people
Dream
Of brand new
Days
Are drifting on
By
The bright moon
Light
The path back to
Dream
When night is
The sky
has turned back to
(repeat)

Robot Lover
03:21
|
|||
|
I was waiting for
Something to tie me down
Could it be that you
Were channeling my feelings?
Sad but oh so true
You’re trapping my own mind
Not sure just how I’ve come
To be your robot, be your robot lover.
It started with your eyes
Entranced my broken mind
Then somehow you knew
Just how to program my feelings.
Yes, love can be a guise
For something sinister
It’s getting hard to stand
To be your robot, be your robot lover.
Robots can be nice
Or robots can be mean
It all depends on how
They’re programmed by humanity.
So, let’s just say that you
Pushed all the wrong buttons.
Goodbye, dear scientist,
No longer will I, be your robot, be your robot lover.

Moment of Illusion
04:01
|
|||
|
I lost my way to you
I tried to make it up to you
Sometimes it's more than I can do
To wait and surrender.
Oh grace, give me comfort.
Oh spirit, set me free.
Deliver me from my apathy,
And lead me to my heart.
And oh, for a moment there,
I saw you smile.
And just, for a moment there,
I thought I saw you smile.
Just for a moment there.

Paradoxical World
03:17
|
|||
|
Silver-colored flowers
Sprouting from the bright green sky
Dainty little towers
Hardly even caught my eye
CHORUS
The whole world seems strangely upside-down
Like some crazy dream
The whole world seems awfully much more interesting, indeed!
VERSE 2
Herds of cattle-drivers
Walking through a milky haze
Spreading sparkly spiders for
Everyone to love and praise
Should I be afraid?
Or should I just watch in awe?
Will this madness fade?
Do you see what I just saw?
CHORUS
(interlude)

Who Are We To Judge?
04:26
|
|||
|
Deeper than his flesh
Lies a human heart.
Never felt the love
That you were born into.
A bottle in his hand
Is all he's touched in years.
Desperate not to think about
His disappointing fate.
Can you even imagine that?
Can you even imagine?
She wears high-heeled boots
And shows off too much skin,
But what you do not know
Is more than what you see.
The stares that she attracts
Are enough to make her feel
Like she has some worth
Despite what she's been through.
Can you even imagine that?
Can you even imagine?
We all start the same,
But grow in different ways,
So who are we to judge?
Who are we to judge?

Radiant Girl
04:04
|
|||
|
I heard it on the hillside
It was calling your name
The birds and the trees echoed it's cry
Singing, "do not fear the pain."
Pain is what you're feeling now
And true feelings don't betray.
With every sting and every ache,
You'll grow stronger by the day.
So, willfully erase the hard bitterness inside.
It will only hold you back from the truth you soon will find.
CHORUS
Oh, you are not alone.
Oh, the hurt will soon subside.
Oh, you'll never be alone.
Oh, radiate your light.
VERSE 2
Just because your heart's been hurt
Does not mean that it's been torn.
So, why hesitate on all of
The things you wish to explore.
Life is just too short
To be running from the past.
And your heart is just too good;
So, let it beat at last.
And if you feel like giving up, just take my hand.
I can't give you everything, but I want you to understand
CHORUS
