Escherscape VI 03:50
lyrics
Running through these crowded streets The colors fading fast Honestly I don’t see How much longer this can last Wake up in the afternoon But dream in the evening too Desperate thoughts are all I’ve got The world is on the rocks I don’t wanna stop this ride I’m inside We’re living in a crazy time Is this life? Waiting for my life to start I’m blinded by the years Yesterday remains in me We drive all our own fears Wake up in the month of June But live for the weekends too Apathy can’t rescue me I have to break the box I don’t wanna stop this ride I’m inside We’re living in a crazy time We’ll be fine I don’t wanna stop this Can’t you see this ground is sinking sand, my dear? Let’s stop living in the past and go from here

Love and Space 03:40
lyrics
Lights Red and yellow on your mind Orion passes by Love described without a word As fireworks fly to the moon I really miss your love As I’m flying through the Milky Way I know we’ll work this out someday And if I tell you that I love you But I’m going away for a while Don’t cry Sometimes I need some space Days Are restless and my words are few ‘Cause space and time would stop without you Beauty of a thousand galaxies As we fly to the moon I really miss your love As I’m flying through the Milky Way I know we’ll work this out someday And if I tell you that I love you But I’m going away for a while Don’t cry Sometimes I need some space I’m going away for a while…

When the World Comes Crashing Down 04:04
lyrics
Oh, the fire in your eyes What a brilliant disguise! There’s a winter storm inside Spring is nigh; we cannot hide Once these trials come to pass We shall be home at last And the clamor will resound When the world comes crashing down Singin’ ahhh... ooo... Pay attention to the sound When the world comes crashing down Though the waves rise and fall You are here though it all We’re just moments from the shore And the splendor that’s in store Is there one thing you’ll miss Having seen all of this? If you’re caught up with the crowd When the world comes crashing down Singin’ ahhh... ooo... Take a closer look around When the world comes crashing down Singin’ ahhh... ooo... People run for solid ground When the world comes crashing down What an unforeseen goodbye! A thousand stories falling from the sky This day we’ve met death face to face And no denying that the world has changed And we’ll never be the same Oh, forever we are changed When the world comes crashing down And you’re swept up in a cloud I don’t know what to say There are no words today When the world comes crashing down Broken promises abound Why would it end this way? We were not meant to stay When the world comes crashing down Not a shelter to be found Morning is on its way Oh, it’s a brand new day

For This to Be Home 04:05
lyrics
You make me feel somewhere else And wish I were someone else When I’m with you Just the way you move Makes me feel brand new My home is you All my thoughts overflow I wish I never had to let go I love you so much more than you could know I need you here for this to be home I’m lost in the haze and then You make me feel home again When I’m with you In everything you do Your beauty shines right through My home is you All my thoughts overflow I wish I never had to let go I love you so much more than you could know I need you here for this to be home I just wanna find Something that I can call home tonight I’m losing my mind I could wait till the end of time for you darling It’s fine Are you just as alone in life? That feeling inside When all you love you must leave behind All my thoughts overflow I wish I never had to let go I love you so much more than you could know I need you here for this to be home

Moment in Mind 02:37
lyrics
A friend of mine told me something new So satisfied that she never knew Just when she thought that she had it all Discovered one can be too blind to fall Deep in her heart was a cloud of doubt The look in her eyes cried of “get me out” Just when she feared it was much too late She prayed in silence she could outrun her fate I just wanna be with you But when I see you, you see right through Oh I’ve made a change of plans Won’t you give me one more chance? This friend of mine couldn’t be alone Her nights were filled with dreams of leaving home Despite the warmth of the years she knew With time and distance one can start anew A bitter ending for the one she loved The day he just became the thing that was And in this life she can never win ‘Cause when you’re dying there’s nowhere to begin I just wanna be with you But when I see you, you see right through Oh I’ve made a change of plans Won’t you give me one more chance? I don’t wanna live this way Let me get inside and get away If you put it on the line Live the moment in your mind And when the morning comes you know that I’m still there Such magic moments intertwined we always share I just wanna be with you And it’s plain to see you mean it too Oh I’ve made a change of plans Won’t you give me one more chance? I can’t stand to sit and stay Don’t you run and hide; let’s run away When you leave it all behind I’ve got this moment in mind

Leave Me Behind 03:02
lyrics
Hey girl They told me they don’t know what city you’re from But I heard the grass is blue there And there’s flowers on the highway And the people don’t worry About where they’re going or how to get there Feels like my heart is changing But the world’s trying to pull me back So just leave me behind (I wanna stay with you tonight) Been actin’ so strange (I’m losing something inside myself) I’m fallin’ down (We’re living just like the boulevard) The dream never dies One o’clock We’re living like there’s no tomorrow Or never be another sunset ‘Cause what we got, there’s no other Leave me behind (I wanna stay with you tonight) Been actin’ so strange (I’m losing something inside myself) I’m fallin’ down (We’re living just like the boulevard) The dream never dies Hollywood, rescue me Ooo... Hollywood, rescue me Life goes on around the world

My Life is a Lie 03:59
lyrics
You were the sunshine Shining so bright Yet in the moonlight Lying tonight You left me trying to find The right to own my own mind And leave our worries behind But you would ride Off into the night It’s a little bit crazy, but I thought you could save me Please don’t hate me Here I am contemplating if our time was all wasted Because lately It’s a sad, sad place Such an empty space When I see your face Just another sign My life is a lie Whoa! No! No! We’re not ascending Mind is bending Though you’re descending I’m pretending The world is ending this time The hurt cannot be denied The words you locked up inside They run your life Come back to the light! It’s a little bit crazy, but I thought you could save me Please don’t hate me Here I am contemplating if our time was all wasted Because lately It’s a sad, sad place Such an empty space When I see your face Just another sign My life is a lie My tears, they flood the world with sorrow Five years of love and no tomorrow When was that moment? You were letting go then Ooo, I should have known it! I’ve had enough of your love It’s my downfall I’m losing it all It’s a little bit crazy, but I thought you could save me (I’m going crazy... crazy... crazy!) Here I am contemplating if our time was all wasted (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... hey!) It’s a sad, sad place Such an empty space When I see your face Then I can’t deny My life is a lie

Heading for the Coast 03:25
lyrics
You don’t know what I’ve been through I’m all torn up because of you The past is shifting out of view But you’re not here to see it through A month ago you would’ve run with me But the gravity My sanity inflicting as it can I’m not sure where I am I’m running now We’re falling out Don’t follow me when I leave I’ll trade these lies For something that’s real In this room I can breathe Yesterday I pleaded If these times keep going on, I’m gonna leave you You couldn’t conceive it’s through I hope you’re hurting too I keep forgetting you’re still you And all the time I spent This emptiness is hurting me the most I’m heading for the coast I’m running now We’re falling out Don’t follow me when I leave I’ll trade these lies For something that’s real In this room I can breathe I remember the start My sleeves were my heart It seems our dreams were just too far apart Now we face the unknown In search of a home I guess that we’ll have to find it alone I’m running now We’re falling out (And if love is the answer, then you’re wrong) Don’t follow me when I leave I’ll trade these lies For something that’s real In this room I can breathe I’m running away I’m leaving today Don’t follow me when I go Oh darling Oh no...

January 04:19
lyrics
January’s still on my mind I guess the lie was in your smile This thing will take some time, I’m sure But I can’t trust you anymore You live your life with the curtains drawn No one can tell which side you’re on Your words are turning on themselves And with them all of us as well And I can’t wait To see the day I’m all strung out And lost in the fray You’ve run away from the one I knew And those who care about you too These scars will take some time to heal ‘Cause you don’t know a love that’s real Your bedroom walls are a looking glass To ever dark and distant lands The truth is crawling in the sand I’m slowly sinking where I stand And I can’t wait To see the day I’m all strung out And lost in the fray If I could go back in time I wouldn’t change a single line I’ve given everything I can Did you expect a perfect man? And I can’t wait To see the day (Ahh…) I’m all strung out And lost in the fray But I’ll walk in the rain Can’t you see how much I love her? Can’t you see that I’d do anything for her? How I wish that I could go back and line up the stars And chase away your demons too But all I can do is keep loving you And I’ll bear with the pain For the hope that we’ll make it through January’s fading fast Can you help me make this good thing last? Can’t you see how much I love her? Can’t you see she loves me too? Can’t you see that I’d do anything for her? I wish you could but I know you can’t

This Place 03:55
lyrics
(Night, night, forever...) This place I know Thirteen hundred miles from my home I’ve never felt so home These friends of mine Have carried me through tough times and the pain The world looks great from the rooftops Tonight Tonight And forever But lately, the time flies As I chase someone or some high And won’t lie, I can’t justify my own life Inside we die When the darkness covers our eyes But I’ll hide In this love I feel tonight A brand new slate I love the sunrise in a foreign state Oh, can we change our fate? I’m bruised and torn The memory still shakes me to the core It’s this world you adore? Tonight Tonight And forever But lately, the time flies As I chase someone or some high And won’t lie, I can’t justify my own life Inside we die When the darkness covers our eyes But I’ll hide In this love I feel Why flirt? It seems our lives are empty words It’s fun till everyone gets hurt (Everybody learns somehow) We’re alive Some nights we feel we’ll never die But we were empty all the time So tonight... (Life goes on around the world...) Lately, the time flies As I chase someone or some high And won’t lie, I can’t justify my own life Inside we die When the darkness covers our eyes But I’ll hide In this love I feel Because lately, the time flies As I chase someone or some high And won’t lie, I can’t stop... this... ride Inside we die When the darkness covers our eyes But I’ll hide In this love I feel Yeah, I’ll hide In this love I feel Yeah, I’ll hide In this love I feel

Area 4 03:58
lyrics
I tried to take the high road But I hit a really low note Sitting in an empty room Wishing I could hold you We live on a freeway Each need a little leeway The times when it feels so cold Are better on the replay This time, I can see There’s no need To dwell in the same scene I’m too broken to fight So tonight I just wanna make things right The calendar is turning My neighborhood is burning A cinema is painted red My stomach’s still churning Is there beauty in the heartbreak? A home for the homesick? A love that no one can take That cuts through the static? This time, I can see There’s no need To dwell in the same scene I’m too broken to fight So tonight I just wanna make things right I’m waiting for the sunlight I’m waiting for our lives to be everything right I miss you when I reminisce I wonder what you’re feeling through all of this I’m waiting for the homeland I’m waiting for something I can understand We find so many vices To ease this existential crisis This time, I can see There’s no need To dwell in the same scene I’m still broken tonight And alone Will we ever make things right?

Ohio Goodbye 04:08
lyrics
I’ve thought of leaving here for so many years Each time knowing it’s only a matter of time So goodbye summer, goodbye home I can’t believe it’s really gone But here we are We made it far And you’re always in my heart Memories in my mind so clear And all the things we held so dear Were left behind For us to find That it’s time to say goodbye No need to cry We’re only passers by Ahh… Ooo… Ahh… And in the end it comes around But after everything we’ve found The time is nigh We can’t deny That it’s hard to say goodbye Oh I feel so sure we’ve been here before Just like the way we always were (oh yeah) Could this really go on forevermore? Goodbye hopes now, goodbye dreams I’m out of luck or so it seems But what’s to say? Anyway Someone’s always there for me And it you’re asking me just why I have to go, I cannot lie It breaks my heart to see you cry But I have to say goodbye
