1. Atmospheric Disturbance
Somewhere inside us, perpetual blindness
Lost awareness, we just exist
Somewhere outside us, perpetual changes
Without awarness, you won't exist
We lost control, grew up too fast
We lost our youth, couldn't make it last
An atmosphere, that we become
Disturbs our lives, see what we've done
Total devotion to a new emotion
No more corrosion, I just can't resist
Atmospheric changes, brought by an angel
My coherent blindness, I will resist
I lost control, grew up too fast
I lost my youth, couldn't make it last
An atmosphere, that I've become
Disturbed my life, see what you've done
See the changes, feel the changes
Aware of changes, numb the blindness
See the changes, feel the changes
Aware of changes, I've got to numb the blindness
I'm not sad with my life
I won't deny that I'm blind
I'll look around and see what I find
It's a new life with eyes opened wide...
2. A Hint of God
Inject the cosmic schemes in your brain
Light and darkness appear the same
Within' our hearts survive our eyes
Cold machines never realize
I feel the dimensions
In music meditation
A sonic spirituality
Present in our unity
A spot of glimmer can be felt
When a hint of God is discovered
I look to the eyes within' the eyes
And pray the spirit is bothered
CHORUS
I reflect on the past, fading fast
You can not heal my pain, oh no
I identify with hurt, beating down
My pedastal's been burned, to the ground
Cover your sight, to prove that your right
Don't look at me, I'm not what you see
Humbled by tragedy
Chasing the fantasy
Gripped by passion
Feeling attraction
Cybernetic humans
Trained to establish God
Is it really very Godly
Without love in our hearts?
REPEAT CHORUS
Cover your sight to prove that your right
Don't look at me, I'm not what you see
REPEAT CHORUS
3. Reason
Descend on the city, like a shroud of death
Living in pity, of life's forgotten best
We all find reasons to lay dormant
Survives within' makes the soul feel distant
I live scared, do I count
First I matter, then I'm down
Gotta trick my peace of mind
Search the ones that I know
Wonder how they find their laugh
How they beat the common low
CHORUS
Suspend the heart in you, to capture REASON
To be engaged in you, escapes REASON
A vital reaction lost in exchange of hope
How much to share becomes hard to know
Have I found my dormant reason
Am I bound to personal treason
I live scared, that no one cares
We all live, with nothing to give
Gotta trick my peace of mind
Search the ones that I know
Wonder how they find their laugh
How they beat the common low
CHORUS
Suspend the heart in you, to capture REASON
To be engaged in you, escapes REASON
For all my trials breeding pain
That's never out of season
Will it make me wise, cleanse my soul
Give me the LIVING REASON?
Will it give me peace, will I sleep at night
When I find reason?
Will it give me peace, will I sleep at night
When I find reason?

4. Tranquility
I had a dream last night
I felt your hair in the moonlight
Like two birds in flight
You and me across the starry night
Entangled in your soul
I tripped in the flow
Thriving in your afterglow
All your tears, I will swallow
Lost in this infinite thought
Is this dream all I've got
What about the power I feel
From the love I know is real
Little pauses in time
We've stolen for our very own
In a moment we hide
The emotion already shown
A little hopeless, maybe lost I am
Hold a dream as the meaning of my life
A savored memory underneath the stars
Hold us together 'til the end of time
I had a dream last night
I felt your face in the moonlight
I became a dream last night
You're my love of the star light
Little pauses in time
We've stolen for our very own
In a moment we hide
The emotion already shown
A little hopeles, maybe lost I am
Hold a dream as the meaning of my life
Can't you help me find my way tonight
I'm still searching for that starlit night
I had a nightmare, that I was lost from your eyes
I fell in an endless sea, while you were still in flight
I was swimming to the surface, as you said goodbye
And there, where you left me, I was alone to die
Little pauses in time
We've stolen for our very own
On that heavenly night
I tripped in your afterglow
-----
5. The Side Within
I've never been to the ocean
And I've never rode in a plane
I've only lived in this small town
And for that I feel ashamed
I think I know what love is
It comes to me sometimes
Can't help but feeling helpless
Cause I need you in my life
I'm wearing shoes that fit me well
I don't pretend, they're mine
Not fancy, yes I caught a sale
They keep me well in line
I dwell on a beautiful sunset
And wonder if it's better in the glare
It feels a little magical
And holds my wondering stare
CHORUS
Brighter on the other side, better in another light
Straining for a different sight, It's all the same
Roaming for another look, it's better in the story book
A picture that I never took, It's such a shame
Held within' these four walls
Or is it that I never leave?
My life is just a lonely hall
The doors are locked, I have no keys
Fallen through an empty floor
An escape from my escape
Was that a knock upon the door
Or just me running away
CHORUS
Brighter on the other side, better in another light
Straining for a different sight, It's all the same
Roaming for another look, it's better in the story book
A picture that I never took, It's all the same
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
point your finger to hide your heart
the grass is greener in your own back yard...
-----
6. Across the Border
Across the border
I see a different pair of eyes
I see you staring back at me
I see through you disguise
Through the magical desert
Passing mountains of red
Stars falling over me
I see the harvest up ahead
Mountain spring fill the sky
A promenade above us
Electricity in the air
Love slowly engulfs us
CHORUS
Your beauty, surrounds me
A feeling I've not had before
If I could do something more
Your beauty, soaks through me
I've got an aching in my heart
Your beauty tears my soul apart
Across the border
I see a land of mystery
An enchanted kingdom
A queen without her king
Through a magical forest
On a moonless night
I journey the mountains
To bring you the Light
Mountain spring fill the sky
A promenade above us
Electricity in the air
Love slowly engulfs us
REPEAT CHORUS
We cross borders
To the things that attract us
It's a constant fight
For a little happiness
Just a little one-ness
7. Wish
The curtain falls, the stage is gone
The flower dies, all hope is lost
I'm mourning
You took my load, revitalized
Showed me love, you understood
I'm grateful to you
CHORUS
I look in to your eyes
And I wish that I was you
I'd look in to the mirror
And never change the view
Grace me with another look
You know I would be honoured
I'll wait 'til the heavens fall
I'm right here over your shoulder
Familiar looks, throughout the night
I gave my all, there's nothing left
I'm mourning
Save my life, just one more time
Mend my heart, just one more try
I'm longing
REPEAT CHORUS
I, I would lay my life down, down, down for you
I, I would give my life, all I've got to you
Do I take it all wrong
Should I feel this strong
For you, and me, do we agree
Do I take it all wrong
Should I feel this strong
For you and me, will we agree
For you and me, is what I need to be
You're all I see, it's so clear to me
You're all I need, you're all I'll ever be
CHORUS
Grace me with another look
You know I would be honoured
I'll wait 'til the heavens fall
I'm right here over your shoulder
I look in to your eyes
And I wish that I was you
I look in to your eyes
And I know that I love you
I, I would lay my life
Down, down down for you
I, I would give my life
All I've got to you
You, you are my life
My life, it is true
You, on you I depend
To the end, I love you
8. Crutch
Lie, lie to me
Truth, it hurts too much
Alone, oh please not me
We've all, got a crutch
Lean, I'll push on you
Within', I'm within' your skin
Nerves, I'm on your nerves
Resent, it then begins
CHORUS
Stationed in Aquarious
Find our homes beneath the sea
Approaching mass delirium
Falling in the firey sea
Life, what is life
Without, without You
On, I can't walk on
With, without You
Hole, I'll dig my hole
Within, the sin begins
Cold, the mildew grows
It scrapes, and eats my flesh!!!
CHORUS
Stationed in Aquarious
Find our homes beneath the sea
Approaching mass delirium
Falling in the firey sea
***
I don't mean to be a pest, oh no
For You I only do my best, oh no
I guess I failed the test, oh no
But I won't ever quit my quest, oh no
2
I'm chained to my torment
Desire Heaven sent
I'm walking to my grave
Hoping that I'm saved
Rid me of this filth
My heart's so full of guilt
I'm falling in Your arms
Show me that I'm saved
-----
9. Bound to Brown
I sit in my chair, searching the air
A cold dark stare, at things not there
Have you found when I'm around
There is no sound, my mind is bound to brown
I spit on the wall, to leave a call
And when it falls, it's me who crawls
To my car, to drive real far
In search of the star, the one we are
And here I sit, not leaving yet
I see the spit, the fire you've lit is brown
I cry a million tears for us
For we've lost the ignorance
That gave us innocense
To fly a million dreams for us
To kill the emptiness
Flowing infinity, the sea that warms me
It brings me alive, it takes me for a...
Ride across the sky, inside of me it shall fly
It's in my mind, some day I'll find
A warm memory, lost in this tranquility
There are times, that everything's fine
Selfishly I chase my dreams, only caring for my needs
My submerged mind, in brown lines
It's all my own, so I strive alone
Within' my bones, I know I belong
In brown
It may seem strange to you
In brown
Have you ever felt blue
In brown
I comprehend my sight
In brown
It's where I see the light!
10. Captive of My Thoughts
Don't count on me, I don't mean that much
I've let you down,trying to hold me up
I'm just a human in this dying race
So out of touch, I've never found my place
I'm so sad when I look my way
That it's me with whom I wish to stay
***
I'm dying inside, dying inside, dying inside, everyday
I'm fighting for life, fighting for life, fighting for life, to kill my ways
***
CHORUS
I'm a captive of my own thoughts
Held for life inside here
Got my spirit all tied in knots
One of these times, I will find me there
And I will be free
Don't look to me and believe I'm good
I would hurt for all, if only I could
I'm just a human in this dying chase
So out of touch, I'll never find my place
Yes I'm sad that I have to stay
In this chase of disarray
***
I'm dying inside, dying inside, dying inside, everyday
I'm fighting for life, fighting for life, fighting for life, to kill my ways
***
CHORUS
I'm a captive of my own thoughts
Held for life inside here
Got my spirit all bound in knots
One of these times, I will find me there
And I will be free
2
Another creation is giving birth
Dissect my mind for what I'm worth
Peace, I'm feeling is just a word
Yet it's there inside me, is what I've heard
***
I'm dying inside, dying inside, dying inside, everyday
I'm fighting for life, fighting for life, fighting for life, to change my ways
***
Don't count on me, I don't mean that much
11. Ache- The Eternal Sigh
Mystery runs deep, through it all
For the feelings I keep, I must fall
There's a drop of sadness in all the things I do
Can't find happiness in experiences I hold on to
The smile I wear is but a mask of pain
Covering indecision with nothing more to gain
CHORUS
Money means nothing, music a temporary high
Love is numbing, the eternal sigh
Our eyes are infinite, deep as a blue sky
Love is illicit, the eternal sigh
Mystery runs deep, through it all
For the feelings I keep, I must fall... for you
Lost between two worlds with a need for both
This lonely parasite has to find its host
The miracle of hope whispers to my tears
And grants me the sacred urge to become my fears
CHORUS
Money means nothing, music a temporary high
Love is numbing, the eternal sigh
Our eyes are infinite, deep as a blue sky
Love is illicit, the eternal sigh
Mystery runs deep, through it all
For the feelings I keep, I must fall
When I'm vulnerable, you are there
So, when I stumble, will you care
Dive into extended understanding
In hopes for self-importance
Am I too demanding
And glowing with ignorance?
Do people really care?
Do people really care?
Is life ever fair,
When nobody seems to care!?!
CHORUS
Money means nothing, music a temporary high
Love is numbing, the eternal sigh
Our eyes are infinite, deep as a blue sky
Our skies are infinite, somewhere that I long to fly.

12. Cold Machines(A Hint of God reprise)
You're my refuge
In my twilight
There's no substitute
For your healing light
Your cleansing waters
And crystal silent springs
No matter the obstacle
I'll forever drink..........
