1. Fly
FALLING DEEP WITHIN YOUR SPACE
DRIFTING HIGHER THAN YOU HAD BEFORE
THE OPEN AIR UPON YOUR FACE
FILTER MEMORIES AS YOU DRIFT TOWARDS IT
FOCUSING WITHIN YOUR STATE
NOTHING MATTERS
NOT THE WORLD YOU KNEW BEFORE
ANOTHER TIME YOU CAN RELATE
THE WINDS ARE CHANGING AND TAKING YOU BY FORCE
SO NOW YOU’RE FLOATING THROUGH THE AIR
HIGH ABOVE THE BLUE
REMEMBER WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR
BUT DON’T GO SLEEPING
DON’T GO SLIPPIN’ AWAY
FOCUSING WITHIN YOUR SPACE
TAKING HOLD OF A NEED TO TOUCH THE SKY
THE OPEN AIR YOU CAN’T EMBRACE
WHEN ALL YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IS FLY
2. Believe
I WANT TO BELIEVE THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
CAN IT BE THAT FEELING HAS COME AND GONE
REMEMBER THE DAY IT TOUCHED OUR LIVES
AND TOOK US BY THE HAND
NOW HERE I SIT BENEATH A LIGHT
THAT SLOWLY IS GROWING DIM
I WANT TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING STRONG
SO WHY DOES IT SEEM I'M SOMEWHERE
THAT I DON'T BELONG
REMEMBER THE DAY YOU TOUCHED MY HEART
AND TURNED MY WORLD TO GOLD
NOW HERE I SIT BETWEEN WHAT'S RIGHT
AND I HAVE NO PLACE TO GO
I'M MOVING ON
I'M DRIFTING FAR
I'M LOSING TOUCH
WITH WHO YOU ARE
3. This Stone
I'VE GOT A TOUCH OF MAGIC
IT KEEPS ME IN CONTROL
OF WHERE I'M GOIN'
I LOST A OBIT OF PATIENCE
IT DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG
MY TEMPER'S GROWIN'
SO I DINE IN MY OWN PARADISE
WHERE THE WEATHER IS ALWAYS SO NICE
I FEEL AT PEACE IN MY HOME
BURIED BENEATH THIS STONE
GOT A LITTLE NERVOUS
A STEP WAS MUCH TOO FAR
FROM WHERE I'M STANDIN'
I LOST A BIT OF REASON
I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHY
WHY I WAS JUMPIN'
SO I FALL FROM THIS PLACE IN THE SKY
FEELIN' AS IF I COULD FLY
IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE STONED
SETTING A FIRE TO MY HOME
GOT A LITTLE CRAZY
NO TIME FOR LOOKIN' BACK
I KNOW WHERE I'M GOIN'
I LOST A BIT OF MEANING
THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME
BUT THE WORDS AREN'T FLOWIN'
SO I FALL FROM MY OWN PARADISE
THE WEATHER JUST WASN'T SO NICE
IT FELT SO GOOD TO BE STONED
BURIED BENEATH MY HOME
4. The City Groove
I'M FEELING SOMETHING
ON THIS HORIZON
COMING HOME
AFRAID OF LEAVING
THIS TRUTH TO BEING
SO ALONE
I'M LIVING A LIFE
FULL OF COMPLICATIONS
ONLY TO COME BACK AND PROVE
SOPHISTICATION
RELEASE MYSELF
INTO IMAGINATION
COMING HOME
WOULD IT HURT TO TURN AWAY?
NOTHING STAYS THE SAME
I NO LONGER FEAR THE CHANGE
IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO
I'M LEANING TOWARD
A NEW BEGINNING ON MY OWN
YET STILL I'M DREAMING OF THOUGHTS
DECEIVING TO MY HOME
I'M TWISTING MYSELF INTO
A NEW DIRECTION
ASKING MYSELF
JUST ONE TOO MANY QUESTIONS
LOSING MYSELF WITHIN IMAGINATION
WHERE'S MY HOME?
WOULD IT HURT TO TURN AWAY?
NOTHING STAYS THE SAME
I NO LONGER FEAR THE CHANGE
IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO
I CAN DEAL WITH CHANGE
I NO LONGER FEAR THE STRAIN
WHERE I CAN HAVE THE SAME
IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO
5. Under Cloud 9
THE RAIN TASTES LIKE TEARS
ADDING SALT TO THE SEA
OF MY LIFE
I'LL JUST SIT BACK IN MY CHAIR
SOAKING RAYS OF THE DESPAIR
IN YOUR LIFE
WHY'S IT GOTTA BE SUCH A THORN IN THE SIDE
FOR US
I WANNA SET YOU FREE
THERE'S A CLOUD OVER ME
I MUST
SLIPPING DOWN A ROAD
DOWN INTO ANOTHER HOLE
IS SO NICE
BREAK THE HIGHER GROUND
FEEL THE WORLD CRUMBLING DOWN
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT
WHO DO YOU GOTTA BE TO OPEN UP THE DOOR
FOR US
I WANNA SET YOU FREE
THERE'S A CLOUD OVER ME
I MUST
I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT'S INSIDE MY HEAD
I NEED TO TELL YOU WHY I BROKE THE THREAD
SUSPENDED IN THE AIR
FLYING HIGHER THAN A CARE IN YOUR MIND
TRIPPIN' ON A STONE
I'M FALLING DOWN
A BROKEN BONE AT YOUR SIDE
BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT
I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT'S INSIDE MY HEAD
I NEED TO TELL YOU WHY I BROKE THE THREAD
I WANT
I'M WAITING
I'M LOST
DON'T SAVE ME
I WANT
I'M NEEDING
YOU MUST
FORGIVE ME
YOU MUST
6. Rain Song
LOVER, WHERE HAVE YOU GONE
I'LL BLEED MY EYES OUT
'TIL THE WATER FORGETS TO RUN
JOKER, SING ME YOUR SONG
SHOW ME THE WEATHER
NOW THE STORY IS SAID AND DONE
I'M ALL RIGHT
I'M JUST WAITING FOR YOU ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
I DON'T CARE
IF IT TAKES ME A MILLION YEARS
WHISPER, SILENCE THE DAWN
I FEEL YOUR FOOTSTEPS
NOW THE PARTY HAS JUST BEGUN
I WONDER, WHERE HAVE YOU GONE
I'LL WEED THE NIGHT OUT
'TIL THE FEVER IS DEAD AND GONE
7. Atlas
SHE WALKED WITH ME INTO THE WINTER
AFRAID TO SEE WHAT LIES SO FAR AHEAD
GIVING IN TO OUR INSANITY
WHILE REACHING OUT TO TASTE HUMILITY
I REALIZED THERE’S A WEIGHT UPON MY SHOULDERS
HOW CAN I CARRY THE WORLD
BACK AND FORTH WE STEPPED INTO THE OUTSIDE
LOOKING FOR THAT SAME OLD COMMON GROUND
HOLDING OUT WAS NEVER IN OUR NATURE
SO IN THE END A WORD COULD BRING US DOWN
I SEARCHED INSIDE BUT I COULD STILL NOT SEE THE ANSWER
LEAVING A VOID MEANT TO BE FILLED
I REALIZED THERE’S A WEIGHT UPON MY SHOULDERS
HOW CAN I CARRY THE WORLD
YOU ARE THAT BREATH FOR ME
THROUGH THESE EYES YOU’D SEE
JUST OPEN YOUR MIND
OPEN THE DOOR WHERE ALL COULD COME TO BE
YOU CAN’T HIDE YOUR FACE WHEN YOU’RE LOST IN A PLACE
WHERE YOU’D BE FOUND TO BE GONE
8. Don't Hold Me Down
