1. Left Here
Left here long ago
was passing through the years
I was waiting for the day
chasing a distant star
while the sun just slipped away
Lost my way long ago
was running in circles
I was drifting through the night
tracing a fading star
moving slowly out of sight
Lost my way back then
now it seems I'm lost again
I left here long ago
was someone else back then
I left here long ago
now I'm leaving again
I lost my way long ago
was somewhere else back then
Lost my back then
and now I'm lost again
Everything changes
Everyone moves apart
Left here long ago
now I'm staring into space
As my thoughts drift back to you
I'm facing a falling star
moving swiftly out of view
Left here way back then
now I'm leaving again
I left here long ago
was someone else back then
I left here long ago
now I'm leaving again
I lost my way long ago
was somewhere else back then
Lost my back then
and now I'm lost again
2. Simple Human
Stand right there man
I can see right through you
Make me understand
the mind within your head
Yeah, I am a simple human like you
Yeah, I am a simple human too
Speak what's on your mind
A simple thought, a reason
Some self righteous blind
deconstructive thinking
I want to rip it away
I want to tear the walls down
Don't be afraid
You can't feel anything
Yeah, I am a simple human like you
Yeah, I am a simple human too
We're all caught
It's like a giant tangled web
We're all trapped going nowhere
Now you know, now you know
Yeah, I am a simple human like you
Yeah, I am a simple human too
Yeah, I am a simple human like you
Yeah, I am a stupid human too
3. River Wide Ocean Deep
Her, with her loving eyes
Her, with her open arms
A shelter in the night
as we drift into sleep
A soothing voice singing
river wide ocean deep
Her, with her vacant eyes
Her, with her withered arms
A vague promise of rain
overhead storm clouds creep
A distant voice thundering
river wide ocean deep
Her, with her wild eyes
Her, with her clutching arms
A tempest pouring down
a flood no wall can keep
A drowning voice crying
river wide ocean deep
The ties that bind are the ties we keep
and she cried river wide ocean deep
The ties that bind are the ties we keep
until we sleep, until we sleep
4. Another Perfect Day
You tell me you love me
and I wonder why
The sun is overhead
but I can't see past the clouds in my eye
You show me what is real
and I just pretend
Another perfect day
and I wonder how it all will end
Another perfect day
and I will hide away
from all the sights and sounds
Another perfect day
and I will walk away
from all the light that surrounds
Shadows embrace this room
as I draw the shades tight
Close the curtains, shut out the day
shut out the light
Another perfect day
and I will hide away
from all the sights and sounds
Another perfect day
and I will walk away
from all the light that surrounds
Lying awake again
restless in this bed
Summer night whispers soft
but I can't sleep through the noise in my head
Soon the sun is rising
and I just descend
Another perfect day
and I wonder when it all will end
Another perfect day
and I will hide away
from all the sights and sounds
Another perfect day
and I will walk away
from all the light that surrounds
Another perfect day
for me to hide away
from all the sights and sounds
Another perfect day
for me to walk away
From all the light that surrounds
5. Heal Me
I move in slow motion
And the world is no longer at my heels
I wither and falter somehow
I wither and fall silent now
Sometimes I say too much
Even when there is no one listening
I wither and falter somehow
I wither and fall silent now
Hey, are you out there
Did you feel my sacrifice
Hey, do you see me
Can you really be that blind
Hey, can you hear me
Are you out there in the night
I'm haunted by your voice
And you are satisfied
Your words are the cross I bear
And I am crucified
Heal me
Hey, have I reached you
Are you too far gone now
Take a look around you
Is this what you had in mind
I'm haunted by your voice
And you are satisfied
Your words are the cross I bear
And I am crucified
Heal me
And now I've reached a part of me
That I know shouldn't be
A cetain kind of calm
A false tranquillity
I see now what's in the dark
It's looking back at me
I see now what's in the dark
I'm looking back at me
6. Sequence # 7
7. Crawl
Down beneath my underlying thoughts
There lurks a silent scream
Now can I breath when the weight
Of words crash down on me?
And I feel stranded
I can't take it
I'm wandering lost
Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl inside your head
Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl
I will take apart the view
And you will take apart the scene
Take away the mask of innocence
It doesn't suit you
Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl inside your head
Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl
And I feel stranded
I can't take it
I'm wandering lost
Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl inside your head
Don't make me comfort you
Don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl
8. A Handful Of Doubt
Seven hours
And a handful of doubt
The candle burns quick now
And time is running out
I never asked for this
Yet somehow here we are
I never asked for this
Now I can't live without
Time moves
Time heals
Time slips
Time steals
Forty pages
And a handful of doubt
The eyes are tired now
And the words are fading out
I never asked for this
Yet somehow here we are
I never asked for this
Now I can't live without
Time flies
Time fills
Time wates
Time kills
I will leave behind all of the hours
I will find a way, a way out
I will walk away from all the years
With a handful of doubt
I will leave behind all of the pages
I will live without, live without
I will walk away far from here
With just a handful of doubt
Twenty years
And a handful of doubt
The candle burns quick now
And time is running out
9. Stranger (With A Familiar Face)
Something in me
I don't understand, a demand
A threatening voice
With a firm command
A liar, a danger
A killer, a stranger
Yeah, I guess that's me
I will extol you
I will control you
I will pick you up
Just to let you down
I will desire you
I will tire of you
I will pull you in
Just to see you drown
Someone in me
I don't recognize, a disguise
A faint reflection
With far away eyes
A liar, a danger
A killer, a stranger
Yeah, I guess that's me
I will extol you
I will control you
I will pick you up
Just to let you down
I will desire you
I will tire of you
I will pull you in
Just to see you drown
I will extol you
I will control you
I will pick you up
Just to let you down
I will desire you
I will tire of you
I will pull you in
Just to see you drown
10. Wish
Was standing in the darkness
I was watching over you
And all the fears came drifting back
With every little breath you drew
Wished upon a falling star
Cold and pale against the night
And all the fears came drifting back
To cloud the view and steal the light
Was underneath a falling snow
I was lying next to you
And all the fears came floating down
With every little wind that blew
Wished upon a passing cloud
Cold and pale against the gray
And all the fears came floating down
To cloud the view and steal the day
May you never know this darkness
May you never be so blind
May you always know the peace
That I could never seem to find
May you never know this darkness
May you always see the light
May you always know the peace
That comforts you tonight
