1. Forever the Voices
Call me the singer
Taken by voices
In songs you should have known
Screaming the choices
2. The Singer
Keyboard solo: Rich
Draw me straight into discordance
I have been stepping over sight
No one will speak of forgiveness
Except the god of all the light
Call me the singer
Taken by voices
In songs you should have known
Screaming the choices
The mind will watch itself melt
When given into the plastic gaze
Steady the footprints on my path
That spiral down that circular trace
Call me the singer
Taken by voices
In songs you should have known
Screaming the choices
Imaginations covered in skin
The thick conditions of reality
Falling under the sapphire sea
Held down by the weight of agony
Guitar solos: Gregg/Rich
Bathe my faith in floods of red
Uncovering ponds of inspiration
I can find myself inside the warmth
And lose it once again in isolation
Walk me through the orange blossom trees
Let me swim in the erotic moments of me
Call me the singer
Taken by voices
In songs you should have known
Screaming the choices
3. The Spirit
Should the images remember her
And pull threads of my expressions
The songs never touched her scented skins
In regret of strong emotions
She prides herself on desert skies
Finds pleasures in the sunsets of her mind
Drinks the weeping tears of fallen men
The spirit with the breath of fire
Alto saxophone solo: Gregg
I knew before the spirit took her
I saw right through her azure eyes
The warm vibrations that came in floods
Her songs that rained in tearful lines
The sands of her...
The dreams of her...
The darkness of her...
The spirit of her...
Vocal descent: Ceara Crandall-Johnson
4. Galactic Backward Movements
Guitar solo: Gregg
Guitar/tenor saxophone solo: Gregg
Bass solo: Noah
Guitar solo: Rich
Drum solo: Sam
Guitar solo: Rich
5. Manipulation in Time
The Spirit listens to sounds outside her window
As she stands in direction for me
Dressed down before the angels of broken wings
And her movements in shape for the scenes
The Singer wals in walls with shadows on his face
So many thoughts on a distant mind
Mistaken by sanded visions of youth
So overcome by threads of time
(Threads of time...)
Cleansing with all the spirit
To wipe the skin clear of the day
Fade away into the essence
Of the water that runs in pain
Guitar solo: Gregg
Guitar solo: Rich
In a Singer's daydreams we find
We could hang upon her eyes
Wipe away the flesh of her
Colored dark by sweet goodbyes
(Sweet goodbyes)
Cleansing with all the spirit
To wipe the skin clear of the day
Fade away into the essence
Of the water that runs in pain
6. Resolution
The Alignment of Galaxies
Brings resolutions to men
And a Singer without words
To songs the Spirit knew then
(How can you miss something so much when it was never yours to begin with? That's what you keep trying to tell yourself but it never really helps things much... does it? It always seems to be raining down on you, completely saturating the spirit. And, oh god, her expressions... her smile was always so intoxicating... so haunting. A lot of cold nights and a few too many tears shed... for the resolution of men.)
7. April in the Fall
April has always been a child without love.
Her parents are in constantly arguing around the
house and never have any time for her. When she
is alone in her room she listens to the radio to focus
her energy on something worthwhile. Her mother is a
good spirit led astray by her father, but manages to
buy April a small piano.
That is where our story begins...
April was never really that good for her
So Mother and FAther would say, as they screamed out
her name
A Child they never touch, never talk to
The instruction of their ways may leave nothing but pain
They say the outside world will only hurt you
They say the dreams of children die in you
Still your mother noticed and heard your radio
The only gift she gave was that piano
So unbridled, she came unfurled
And who makes her hold it in
How overwhelming a song can be
To drive her cold within
She plays for hours
She practices the day away
It keeps the noise down
From constant battles down the hall
Only her fingers
Captured in movements of the keys
Could feel emotion
From her distorted withdraw
So unbridled, she comes unfurled
And who makes her hold it in
How overwhelming a song can be
To drive her cold within
And through the radio she hears her song
So she learns it, she embraces it
Her fingers tremble when she plays the notes
But she feels it, and she knows it
April needs someone for these feelings
Piercing down through her head
Only the darkness in her father
Came flowing out instead
As her fingers becan so simply
The father gave his peace
The bullet that killer her piano
Was also her mother's release
8. Subliminal Delusions
April is left alone to fend for herself.
She's never been around love and does not
know how to accept it, especially in an orphanage.
Therefore, she is sent to a hospital where she
can be properly evaluated. It's there that she is
reunited with the kyes. The sparkle in her eye
seems to be fading back in when she spends
time with the nurse...
Then his madness was restrained in April
As she reaches the village of children
Holding her lips into the passing years
For expirations of what should have been
Existence is not what's slowly behind
And it's not the only thing she forgot
She is kindly playing out the symptoms
Of an embrace holding on to thoughts
Quiet as she goes
A failure in regression
Fragments of her must be uncovered
And put back together
Before we're left with none
For April there is no friendly design
Only the radio she carried through
Her song has only forgotten the way
To drive the illness that she cried into
Manipulation of her static mind
Walking into the piano they found
The psychotic composition of her
Quickly settled by the unwritten sounds
Quiet as she goes
A failure in regression
Fragmets of her must be uncovered
And put back together
Before we're left with none
Guitar solos: Gregg / Rich
Once the pieces found their way together
She found a friend before she found herself
She only waited for deliverance
From the confinement that she should have felt
The piano finds its way back to her
And the fever of her song is still strong
As we listen to April's memories
The fatal crash that killed her friend and her song
Quiet as she goes
A failure in regression
Fragments of her must be uncovered
And put back together
Before we're left with none
The strength in those notes still make her tremble
Her burning heart if only so subtle
9. Bending the Violet
A mind is thrown into chaos...
10. The Piano Plays At Last
She still has the keys to keep her busy and
that's the only thing that brings her mind
Back into equilibrium. However, now she's
On her own and looking to make her way.
There's no one to turn to in the big city and she
Finds herself playing for change as the trains fly by...
But I must make the most of my time
A change of scenery
Changing the fragments of this life
Standing before a city skyline
A slip of catching breath
And then caught holding on too tight
With no money or a place to go
Shading their eyes at me
They shaded the train and my stage
Familiar songs come from my fingers
Dancing to stop and hear
They dance into my serenade
What dismay, I've lost my way
And still I walk this path
For moments, my sweet moments
When my piano plays at last
And then softly he gives me his promise
Before I got lost in his eyes
He has acertain serenity
That only his gaze can provide
What dismay, I've lost my way
And still I walk this path
For moments, my sweet moments
When my piano plays at last
As long as I play my piano
I could be playing for his crowd
I hear my song when he speaks to me
But I've never heard it this loud
What dismay, I've lost my way
And still I walk this path
For moments, my sweet moments
When my piano plays at last
11. Alterations of the Ivory
April's fortunes seem to be on the rise since she
has a new place for her to play. She is content in the
Ivory, where people actually listen to her; she finally
feels like she might be where she's supposed to be.
That old familiar song starts drifting back into her
head every time she gazes into his eyes.
It is time to teach someone else her song...
I live and breathe for my new Ivory
As I stumbled into destiny
I've followed his eyes when they come my way
And I'm taken into him today
And when his gesture
Becomes his picture
I'm simply assured
By his demeanor
Remember my song
I'm singing along
When he says it's wrong
It should be our song
And so he buys the baby grand
So he can hear my song at last
We fade to one...
I've seen my body, I've seen it unfold
It takes the senses and leads me away
But I know passion, now I know it well
These are the memories the song has made
The crowd must never be kept in suspense
So I promise the time is tonight
And then we stare to never lose our sight
Only to see someone blind our eyes
Stealing his money
I stay with my keyes
Guns pointing at me
Then he starts to scream
All becomes silent
And all is content
My song's only sent
In dying torment
Guitar solos: Gregg / Rich
I've seen my body, I've seen it unfold
It takes the senses and leads me away
But I know passion, now I know it well
These are the memories the song has made
12. Blood and Passion
Life never turns out exactly the way we expect it.
April felt like she was finally going to be able to share
her song and melody with him, but she still feels like it
is time to share that song. She knows what it will do to
her if she plays it, but it can't be kept any longer.
After so many silent years she kneels down before the
grave to play the notes...
April was never really that good for her
As she watched them lower him down
Once again there is a confinement in her
As her tears fell into broken ground
She waits until they are alone
And she brought her piano...
So unbridled, she came undone
It's time to finish your song
Oh April, overwhelming yourself
On passions held in too long
The notes send you shivering
The pain of your song ending
But still you play on...
You know that your time is done
If only you'd had someone
And still you play on...
So unbridled, she came undone
It's time to finish your song
Oh April, overwhelming yourself
On passions held in too long
Blood begins to form the stream
That drops slowly on the key
And you struggle on...
So the last note never dies
Her heart explodes deep inside
And April is gone...
So unbridled, she came undone
It's time to finish your song
Oh April, overwhelming yourself
On passions held in too long
