Fallacy Undone
01:18
|

|
Each breath will carry me back when all is said and done
Won't leave my dreams in my head
Each quest will carry me back to fallacy undone
I won't leave my dreams in my bed

Trees Remember
03:10
|
|||
|
Hey, let's wander away
Bike through the rain
Leave behind our names
Days pass by so slowly
With no place to be
And no place to stay
Life is a passing show
Of ebb and flow
And you could be blind and see
Step outside your role
Into your soul
There you’ll find the axe forgets what trees remember
Let's wander away
Bike through the rain
Leave behind our names
Days pass by so slowly
With no place to be
And no place to stay
Life is a passing show
Of ebb and flow
And you could be blind and see
Step outside your role
Into your soul
There you’ll find the axe forgets what trees remember

Behold Above All
05:07
|
|||
|
The trees are growing close to me
And most recall
A kingdom growing cold in greed
Against the wall
I'll give it to the count of three
The kingdom will fall
So let us make a toast to be
Behold above all
As one we shall stand
As two we shall fall
From truth to all there is
We'll do what we can
Behold above all
In truth to all
As one we shall stand
As two we shall fall
From truth to all there is
We'll do what we can
Behold above all
In truth to all
We made a trip around the moon
In March and May
Imagining a snow in June
In West LA
The consequence of silver spoons
In tall buffets
Can leave from you this afternoon
Just come out to play
As one we shall stand
As two we shall fall
From truth to all there is
We'll do what we can
Behold above all
In truth to all
As one we shall stand
As two we shall fall
From truth to all there is
We'll do what we can
Behold above all
In truth to all

Skyline Park
03:32
|
|||
|
Last time that I saw you
We were walking downtown alright
A warm night above Skyline Park
Never saw a star so bright
There never has and never will be
Anyone quite like you
But last time that I saw you
We were walking downtown alright
Dreaming while my eyes are open wide
Scenes of majesty disguised as time
Last time that I saw you
We were walking downtown alright
A warm night above Skyline Park
Never saw a star so bright
There never has and never will be
Anyone quite like you
But last time that I saw you
We were walking downtown
(Play it slower now)
Dreaming while my eyes are open wide
Scenes of majesty disguised as time
Last time that I saw you
We were walking downtown alright
A warm night above Skyline Park
Never saw a star so bright
There never has and never will be
Anyone quite like you
The last time that I saw you

Mountain secrets
Mountain secrets
Mountain secrets
Mountain secrets
Two days of mountain secrets
Monday you want some more
Two days of mountain secrets
Want to leave you wanting more
That cabin is so cold
But the fire keeps you warm
Red wine on a white rug is the risk I
Run all through the night
That cabin is so old
But the records keep me young
At the end of that old slow road lies shelter from the norm
Two days of mountain secrets
Tuesday you'll want some more
Two days of mountain secrets
Want to leave you wanting
Two days of mountain secrets
Wednesday you're wanting more
Two days of mountain secrets
Want to leave you wanting more
That cabin is so cold
But the fire keeps you warm
Red wine on a white rug is the risk I
Run all through the night
That cabin is so old
But the records keep me young
At the end of that old slow road lies shelter from the norm
Two days of mountain secrets
Thursday you’ll want some more
Two days of mountain secrets
Two days of mountain secrets
Friday you're wanting more
Two days of mountain secrets
Want to leave you wanting
Mountain secrets
Mountain secrets

Breathe Easy
01:43
|
|||
|
This place seems oddly familiar
It’s like...It’s like the space between death and birth
These vibrations of sound and light
Blend together into a paradox that dissolved boundaries
Of space and time
And when I open my eyes
A sensory overload encapsulates my body and soul
And I can see life and death equally in living things and nonliving
Everything is alive really
And sometimes I forget to breathe in astonishment
Every preconceived notion society has bestowed upon me has dissolved
All that’s left is raw perception and pure emotion
A new way of seeing and feeling
New to me now
But really the oldest, oldest way
A return to the source
Paradigms shatter into the past and the future is now
My imagination is vibrantly catalyzed
And my deepest inner emotions are expelled
Like champagne exploding out of a bottle
My sentiments are no longer bottled up
I feel replenished
I breathe easy now

Psychedelic Surrender
04:12
|
|||
|
You gotta love everyone you hate
Otherwise you won't change nothing
You gotta mean everything you say
I wanna have a real discussion
Psychedelic surrender
Freshens forlorn eyes
Gave us will to create
And gives the best advice
Psychedelic surrender
The story's yours to write
Something bigger than never
Something bigger than life
You gotta dig every step you take
Otherwise you won't dig nothing
Back pocket holds the whole planned escape
Grounds to hit the ground running
Psychedelic surrender
Freshens forlorn eyes
Gave us will to create
And gives the best advice
Psychedelic surrender
The story's yours to write
Something bigger than never
Something bigger than life

Aspen eyes
Trust me
Cause they see
It's all just
Passing by
Above me
Cause they see it all in those eyes
Aspen eyes
Trust me
Cause they see
It's all just
Passing by
Lovely
Cause they see it all in those eyes

The AM Crowd
03:43
|
|||
|
Broken glass alleys and mid city lilac
I'm doing my best I'm holding myself back
Can't understand this situation
From miles of the worried or broken down station
I'm keeping both my hands on the wheel
The winds are getting heavy and it's all
Too real
It's all too
Through Tennessee speeding, forgetting my name
A country of stars passes in frames
Stop in for coffee at dimly lit diners of midnight in Maine
A new day begins
The AM crowd rushes in
Keeping both my hands on the wheel
The rain is getting heavy and it's all
Too real
It’s all too real
It’s all too real
The power went out at the corner store
So I paid in cash
And filled my cup by candlelight
The electrical city of Exton is sleeping again
And now, we wait

Common DNA
05:03
|
|||
|
My story's forming
And you can't hold the pen
But don't you worry
You're in it my friend
Some folks wait from
From the womb to tomb to live
But they were dead all along
And never quite truly did
Cruising interstate forty
Get my kicks along the way
Fuck a 9 to 5 lifetime
I don't need it anyway
A chosen undefined story
Getting better by the day
I'll leave it here for mankind
With a common DNA
The past is waiting
For future to begin
But all they're seeing
Is the moment we're in
Adore the journey
Cause that scenery goes to show
It's all not so
So serious as we suppose
Cruising interstate forty
Get my kicks along the way
Fuck a 9 to 5 lifetime (boring)
I don't need it anyway
A chosen undefined story
Getting better by the day
I'll leave it here for mankind
With a common DNA
Cruising interstate forty
Get my kicks along the way
Fuck a 9 to 5 lifetime (boring)
I don't need it anyway
A chosen undefined story
Getting better by the day
I'll leave it here for mankind
With a common DNA

Out When No One Else Is
04:33
|
|||
|
No destination
Aimlessly free
Bliss deep and sacred
And bliss is heaven, don't you know?
Out when no
No one else
Else is out
In rain
And dark
And snow
Awe upon arrival
Full moon to guide
Earth mother in love
Loves unconditionally pure
Out when no
No one else
Else is out
In rain
And dark
And snow to
Find myself
Days blend together
Nights cool the air
All breath is precious
But we're pretending not to care
Out when no
No one else
Else is out
In rain
And dark
And snow to
Find myself
Out when no
No one else
Else is out
In rain
And dark
And snow to
Find myself
Out when no
No one else
Else is out
In rain
And dark
And snow to
Find myself

I got just one thing
That I've been dying to tell you
Just one thing
That's hangin’ out in my mind
Just one reason
That's lurkin’ in the rear view
That's the reason
To leave behind
Keep your sky in the blue
I know it's been doom and gloom all day
Keep your sky in the blue
And find your soul beyond the Milky Way
Keep your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
And know I’m here for you
I got just one friend
They're riding high in the front seat
Just one friend
Who can't be preoccupied
Just one reason hangin’ out in the rear view
Just one reason of a new design
Just one reason I told you I can hear you
But endless reasons to speak my mind
Keep your sky in the blue
I know it's been doom and gloom all day
Keep your sky in the blue
And find your soul beyond the Milky Way
Keep your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Keep your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
Your sky in the blue
And know I’m here for you
I got just one thing that I've been dying to tell you

Rush Off
04:08
|
|||
|
The moon is high
The creeks are full
I'll stay here forevermore
Dancing with stars
I long to bask in worlds of abstraction
Cause I can't wait to wake up without an alarm
Wide awake at dawn
I can't wait to wake up with no place to rush off to
I can't wait to wake up without an alarm and some time to sing this song
I can't wait to wake up with no place to rush off to
Lead the normal life
The normal lie
Is what they said
They said to be set free
All we must do is work till 64
Each breath will carry me back when all is said and done
I won't leave my dreams in my head
Each quest will carry me back to fallacy undone
I won't leave my dreams in my bed
Cause I can't wait to wake up without an alarm
I'll have slept from dusk till dawn
I can't wait to wake up with no place to rush off to
And I can't wait to wake up without an alarm and some time to sing this song
I can't wait to wake up with no place to rush off to

Chimera
06:08
|
|||
|
I've been observing the neighborhood
It's been quiet since the students went home
For summer
This new horizon has come through you
Nothing need be said or need be thought
We put a daisy in the rifle barrel
And set our sights on something rather new
A world that's free of dilatory peril
To carry our true nature into view
As open skies inspire you
Everything you know will prove untrue
And once you wish for nothing new
Everything you wished for will come true
We've been going against the wind
And rowing upstream
In troubled waters
Chasing fallacy with false pretense
Chimera surrounds our windows
But now the veil has lifted from the windowpane
To show us we’re not our names or thoughts
More so psyches of freedom from addiction
To moments of eternity lost
As open skies inspire you
Everything you know will prove untrue
And once you wish for nothing new
Everything you wish for will come true
As open eyes inspire you
Everything you know will prove untrue
And once you wish for nothing new
Everything you've wished for will come true
And I extend my heart to you
All you thought imperative withdrew
When sun of morning makes you new
Everything you're holding passes through
Your hands
And I extend this life to you
And I extend this light to you
