i see a man in liquid space i know his name but not his face a silver portrait on a wall a blank stare finds me i feel the past has been erased all that i've known has been replaced endless days bare no light oh the light oh the light will you still blind me eye to eye mind to mind hand to heart and time is broken i wake from night reach out to a memory collecting every little thing those pieces of another fragments falling all around with traces of forgotten sound left with nothing but the strings and the pieces of another pieces of another eye to eye mind to mind hand to heart and time is broken

love has awakened here ripe and unfolding the deepest crush is you shaping the one from two more than the physical deeper than spiritual pour into me the glow until i overflow and still i ache ache for you and still i ache ache and still i ache ache for you so deep into the high and it feels like a never ending luminous sky naked for every eye and all to see the tenderness you burn into me time has no meaning now we move beyond the boundaries and deep within your eyes our secrets synchronize all that we may believe more than we can conceive each moment holds the key unlocking what will be and still i ache ache for you and still i ache ache and still i ache ache for you so deep into the high and it feels like a never ending luminous sky naked for every eye and all to see the tenderness you burn into me

dream sync 06:32
we close our eyes to see the dream float upon the velvet stream stretch the canvas of the night drip the paint across the sky nameless colors show their skin sounds reveal their origin drifting through a candle maze of past and present future days folding time into a rose draped in slumber's evening clothes awaken awaken some day soon some day soon suspended in the atmosphere illuminated words appear framed within an angel's tear breathing in a world of sighs fragrant memories give rise to half forgotten lullabies once again we close our eyes awaken awaken some day soon some day soon

silence 05:17
we wait for nothing more than this we stand suspended we are frozen time has not begun (begun) not allowed to reach from soul to soul day by day we struggle with the ties that bind us to these feelings silence is a wall silence is a wall words are weapons tears like mirrors reflect reality find a way around the stone we set between us love can break away all the pain and sorrow that remains will we ever know a space beyond the emptiness and longing silence is a wall silence is a wall words are weapons tears like mirrors reflect reality

together with the thread of love that reaches through i'm woven into the stained glass light of you incandescent dreams illuminate the night touch melts into bliss and we escape from sight ascending to the blue whisper the vow you have my heart wrapped in the clouds and in your eyes it's always now you have my heart wrapped in the clouds the murmur of the world surrounds us in a veil we lose the sense of self so tenuous and frail breathlessly a kiss will float across the space so intimate so close so deep the one embrace ascending to the blue whisper the vow you have my heart wrapped in the clouds and in your eyes the sky is now you have my heart wrapped in the clouds

tuning in, tuning out, turning time upside down floating waves, flowing to, distant caves, seeking you the light from the screen flickers a coded message cutting through the dark shadows cling to the corners indifferent to the pulses of my heart while i'm here waiting for word (repeat) i'm here waiting for word, waiting for word we have a static born connection reaching through the cold and empty space will there ever be an answer from a voice that may never have a face while we're waiting for word, waiting for word (repeat) fading stars, streaming light, vapor skies, dreamless night moving sounds, bending tones, chasing lines still unknown the signal is growing dimmer disconnecting me from what i think is real bodies bare just a whisper, impervious to everything i feel i'm here waiting for word, waiting for word (repeat) straining to discover the momentary meeting of desire we have an error in transmission unconscious of whatever may transpire while we're waiting for word, waiting for word (repeat) you can view my mind, look into my mind (repeat) change connection a star in messier too far to find the reasons, silence, patience send a bottle made of memories reach out into the black tide get a feeling for the vacuum my arms will be your life line reach out don't let us vanish is there glitch within the wire a fading apparition a glimpse of who you are

delicate 05:07
in time we awaken to the one so delicate inside we are not the same at the heart love remains unchanged life is an ocean deep dark and wide are the memories we sink into yesterday it was our sanctuary there is no future and all that lingers is the moment we made so delicate take my heart and lead me away to a distant place (so delicate) take my heart and lead me away save it for that day (so delicate) breath is the gift we gave for the one who will never fade we hold as our legacy the essence of what will be the only future given to us is this moment made so delicate

open skies 05:50
it's a game of rise and fall of win and lose and own it all no escape from this ordeal of how you think and what you feel voices speak and stir your mind welcome to the paradigm... the paradigm something is out there which language cannot define beyond comprehension we're dancing around the divine we move past emotion into the realm unseen no separation no within no without no in between can you perceive the picture now close enough to disavow infinite realities are only true within belief a chance to see without the eyes the intimate of open skies something is out there which language cannot define beyond comprehension dancing around the divine we move past emotion into the realm unseen no separation no within no without no in between

soft dance 04:44
(take my dust) you tried to show me a picture of what life was before the end of the world came (take my dust) it don't matter it don't matter when you're time's up in the end it's all the same ooh ooh ooh, mend my soul ooh ooh ooh carry me home ooh ooh ooh, make me feel alive again (take my dust) one of the steps in the soft dance of our love we can take the whole world if we wake the whole world we can take the whole world and remake the whole world we can take the whole world for the sake of the whole world it's a new day and i'm in the light of a place that will never change ooh ooh can you see my reflection in the eyes of a child you held so close against the pain ooh ooh ooh, mend my soul ooh ooh ooh carry me home ooh ooh ooh, make me feel alive again the flame that's burning twice as bright burns half as long into the night we pass the flame from hand to hand to the find the way through shadow land we look and yet we cannot see we hear but we do not perceive we reach out but we can not hold we think and yet we do not know so much we do not comprehend the softest dance will never end the softest dance will never end

memory trace 02:48
sounds of rainfall misty clouds we walk on stones with water drape the grey wall past and future live in tiny circles clash together keep your eyes closed it was a just a memory floating into vision take a moment learn the lesson broken fragments nowhere nearer it started with a sound like a scene from a movie it was supposed to be cinematic one idea transformed into another there was a character looking at photographs the character was in a room with a desk and a window behind a sliver of sunlight streaming in trying to remember who the people were it was the sound that triggered the title it triggered the memory trace did you ever have a moment when a memory bubbled up and you don't remember where it came from if it was your memory or if it was a dream you had this was the first only to be changed afterwards now it ellicits a whole different feeling it started with a sound

not aloud 04:10
Iʼve been a bad bad girl come rescue me Iʼve gotten into nothing good Iʼm caught suspended zero gravity Iʼve gone much deeper than i should oooohhh Itʼs been awhile since i could stand myself Playing pretend to please the crowd When i began to take my makeup off He said the truth was not aloud Supposed to be a light to brighten up the world So donʼt fall down youʼre just a little girl Cover up your mouth dont wanna hear the sound of a truth thatʼs not aloud not aloud Iʼm full aware of every enemy Iʼm in a war with no regrets For anyone who thinks of stopping me Tell them you aint seen nothin yet Iʼm here to be a light to brighten up the world I wonʼt fall down Iʼm not a little girl open up your ears so you can hear the sound of a truth thatʼs not aloud Iʼve told all my secrets No skeleton key I know what the truth is And the truth has set me free The truth has set me free The truth has set me free Iʼm Here to be a light to brighten up the world I wont fall down Iʼm not a little girl open up your mouth let me hear the sound of a truth thatʼs not aloud Here to be a light to brighten up the world we cant fall down weʼre not little girls open up your mouth let me hear the sound .... of your truth thatʼs not aloud

out from the dark ancient of days (and) underneath the skin of a shadow (it is) hiding in the wake of tomorrow the signs are clear two eyes that see (it is) mapping out a path between the stars whispering the songs of who we are traces of the angels fall like dust upon the field archaic transmissions echo through the hollow they echo through the hollow finally to be revealed symbols and words intrigue the mind stains of the past are emerging remnants and dreams converging dry bones and clay unmask their time speaking to the wind their stories as they fade away to former glory traces of the angels fall like dust upon the field archaic transmissions echo through the hollow they echo through the hollow finally to be revealed
