Album • 2004
If I want I could move these walls past my door to a better place I feel like there's a wind that could catch all my fingers, fly away Past towers of iron and cement touching sky over rivers continents wide Onto rolling walls with billions inside, augment my view of life, white cliffs isle's east side Blue fields of five waving patiently while I slide into new scapes of change Because tomorrow I'll be gone And all that now surrounds me will keep moving on When I look back what will I see Will I have learned a lesson, something I believe Give me a journey Show me all the colors of life Give me the distance Show me a way to navigate this world Give me a journey Show me the road that I should take There is no reason To be stuck in just one place Give me the journey Paint with the watercolors of life Give me the distance To walk the image I create Give me the journey Show me the road that I should take There is no reason To be stuck in just one place Keys unlock the plain to golden gates that lock again a violent bay Where will I land and what will fill my eyes - who will I be each time that I arrive Blades of grass cutting lines in the dirt and burnt goodbyes I've seen that star it guides my night By sea or land, shifting air, how I move I don't care Kiss me soft let me go, breathe in me the place you know - I want to know it too (spoken) Out of the window there's a scene I seem to have seen each morning White circles, red squares, I bet you don't see this everywhere Sure I learn and like and am the things that fill this street But could you be content knowing each day these moments just repeat So a thought, a pass, a plane, a ticket marked with ink by name A taxi pull, a plastic tray folded upright till we leave the runway Way above the clouds Freedom's pure when you don't hold out Watch the weight of all you've known Pass right under where you've flown And all the things that seemed to matter Grow much smaller worn and weathered Final approach, we're going down Prepare to land on foreign ground Way above the clouds Freedom's pure when you don't hold out Watch the weight of all you've known Crash and burn somewhere below Crash and burn without a sound Off the wing it looks the same till clouds give way A new domain beckons me to play A new song, new life, new ways to fly Grab on, hold tight, It's gonna be a wild ride I wanna fly far away Wanna see a different place Where to go, I don't know There is so much left to see - so I don't know where to go from here I don't know where to roam What will I see tomorrow Where will I sleep tonight Who will I meet tomorrow And who will I kiss goodbye I don't know where to go from here Still don't know who I am In spite of all my travels In spite of all I've seen My mind replays the memories And you can't take that from me But who knows where to go from here And who cares where I go, do I have to know Where this road's leading, no place to sleep tonight The sun just keeps repeating its pattern in the sky Give me the journey Paint with all the colors of life I'll walk the distance To live on the canvas that I stain With every memory Coursing through my veins There's just a brush And I am the world it paints Tell me where to go from here Tell me I can stay so I see you tomorrow I'll sleep with you tonight If I have to go tomorrow Then I kiss your lips goodbye I don't want to go from here And will you understand when you wake up And I'm not there in the middle of the night These eyes have yet to see what's under all these skies Give me the journey Pour out the colors of my life I see the distance In the mirror passing by Give me my journey In every shade and stride There is no reason Why our worlds should collide All I've seen and all I've come to know has carved me With patterns you can trace to realize our differences Are not for the better or the worse they simply just are Taught in miles, learned by path, leave it on my epitaph Embrace each uncomfortable moment then relax The news alive and educates he who doesn't wait But packs willing to return to the same space For the first time I am living In colors I'm picking But you keep on stalling What cha gonna be if your never see For the first time You're given A fresh pallet You're mixing But you can't keep on slipping Back into the place that cha can't leave I wanna stay in a place And I must appreciate Where I've been, what I've seen Even though they're different things - and Now that we've found common ground I have a way to understand What you are, how you work What defines a peoples worth - now I close my eyes, fall asleep Knowing I fulfilled my dream Now it's your time to fly See the world with open eyes

All I see each night in dreams Is a beautiful illusion A figment of my heart Haunting me, so close but never there But I can feel her My secret counterpart And she looks like you That's all I know How she got there Really I don't care Cause she looks like you She looks like you Now I see you in front of me In a men's blue dress shirt and paris jeans A charcoal coat in modern style A whistful face and a secret smile You're the one I see You're the woman in my dreams All I wanted deep within my soul Was someone I could talk to Someone I could hold I knew that any day now I'd see her and I'd know

I lock away that familiar pain in a place so that it's safe and I put on a face that misleads the ones close to me Tucked inside treasures of mine sit patiently waiting for the perfect time My selfish, my kind, my loves, my prides, my pensive side, my secrets rob the heart blind Over there behind the door are things I love and fear and so much more Tapping louder than before the more intense the more ignored The grey is flooded often with those hauntings in percussion My childish dreams and fantasies keep them under lock and key Should I let them out to escape the sound? Where am I gonna go To flee my sanity I'm always running From all the things I keep Inside To leave my sanity I always hiding From everything in front of me My Life Is creeping up on me I try to hide it from all my friends and family But why For all that I see That beat's still coming through clearly So tell me what should I do - would you let them out and let em' play through The song of Lenore, the love and pain that keep my core Hush, can you hear the pounding If walls could talk and doors could speak of what they've seen inside of me tucked down deep in the corner of my memory - Hush, can you hear them coming Sick of running from the past I will reveal the truth at last to anyone who wants to know this is how my story goes... Who was watching a wasp when I started thinking Why can't I be the real me Here are my faults, they come as I am breathing Why can't I be the real me You love what you don't know so now I am asking Why can't you love - love the real me I will try to set it free Release the demons that I keep It is time to turn the key Open the door and be the real me
Assassination, stolen planes an', greed that always sets it off Religious crimes, guided minds, bombs that drop don't land soft Name your price and start whatever fight your looking for, it's at your door Mass extinction, genocide we've all been guilty of these crimes Domination liberates people are to blame reads a old cardboard sign I want to look back and see weaker part of me and us better after all those years None of that all of that can you hear that All of it none of it learn to see that Try to fly - broken wings - learn the hard way - suffering Never try never learn never gonna be ready when it's your turn Never see the warning signs - I've learned in my life Never leave the past behind Letting go - foolish pride - the help I need - denied Turn away in the middle of a fight just in time 'cause you know that they were right - I've learned in my life Never leave the past behind Lines of The Prince and The Republic show warning signs of long ago But who remembers to ask Plato. Yeah, forget the books and history's waste Full speed toward the next mistake Panic cheers, jello, nikes, Heaven's Gate, comets won't outrun your fate None of that all of that can you hear that History wants a piece of you All of it none of it learn to see that History just repeats in you Cultural jeans need a place to survive it's not just a fashion it's about staying alive Remember your little eyes, little minds soaking knowledge from your fathers voice Sitting smiling on your grandpa's lap resting on the wisdom that he had Funny by thirteen you know it all savvy until you fall, just remember what made you trip Next time how will you handle it Cultural genes need a place to survive it's not just a fashion it's about staying alive

You've got us hanging off your every word Patiently waiting a sign One minute we can expect the absurd Next minute everything's fine So unpredictable no reason nor rhyme Worse than the hours in a day We seem to remember a well balanced time Or was it always this way Hot to cold Too hot to hold Hot to cold Too hot to hold Too hot to... Half a degree either way unconcerned You shed no ray of relief And plagued by a fear of your high winds of change Day to night's difference is brief Erratic shifts in your moods have us all Under a high pressure sway Showering us constantly playing your game We have no choice but to play Hot to cold Too hot to hold Hot to cold Too hot to hold Too hot to... Hot to cold Too hot to hold Hot to cold Too hot to hold Now Hot to cold Too hot to hold Hot to cold Too hot to hold

I bet you were right With everything you wrote And the essence of your words Is what keeps a mind alive There were gods and monks and bablefish But in the end it's you and me You chose the stars and scary creatures To show us what we couldn't see I thought that I knew I thought I was on top of it all And I hate that I now understand That because you've gone away I missed my Last Chance to See After seeing the world You opened up my eyes Made me ask where we come from Gave more meaning to my life It might be just a number But now I'm closer to the question And I will continue searching For I already know the answer I wanna understand 'Cause I thought I was on top of it all But until now I did not comprehend That because you've gone away I missed my Last Chance to See Dolphins, Rhinos, Kakapos - you had your chance to see But what about rest of us who had a different dream I am tempted to use just one word to show you how I feel Belgium man, yes Belgium - that should be pretty clear We are all just asking questions And are happy not to know what the answer is You used Marvin's, Ford's and Zaphod's life To show us more about our own You wrote volumes just between the lines And I just can't believe you're gone We are all just asking questions but You're the one who dared to give us a simple answer I thought that I knew I thought I had it all figured out And I hate that I now understand That you've been taken away And I missed my Last Chance to See I missed my Last Chance to See Every night I listen to your voice And the wisdom in your words Will always make me smile I should have known Should have thought about it more Should have read between the lines Should have been on top of it all And I hate that I now understand That because you've had to go I missed my Last Chance to See I really should have known Should have asked asked and should have probed Should have read between the lines Should have been on top of it all And I can't stand that I now apprehend That because you've left the scene I missed my Last Chance to See I missed my Last Chance to See I have missed my Last Chance to See I have really missed my Last Chance to See
