Staring down at my cup of coffee Wishing for a way to make it better Searching for a star in the sky Looks like we're in for nasty weather Didn't even notice I was walking in circles Till someone stopped to point at me Feels like I'm balanced on a wire in a circus The great attraction No, I guess it's just me If I had the time I would give it all to you There's not enough minutes in a day Like an hourglass, to pour life away Can the world stop spinning So I can stop to catch my mind Not asking for that much Only asking for a little more time Just one more hour... Extra time Just one more hour... Extra time If I had the time I would give it all to you There's not enough minutes in a day Like an hourglass, to pour the life away One more hour... Extra time One more hour... Extra time One more hour

One Way Fee 05:27
I just want to live my life Reach beyond the darkest night Use a voice you've never heard Very seldom do you feel the words I call for you but you're never there And ask myself, why should I care You say that you know me But you only know the part you see I got a ticket for reality It's boarding now but there's no one here but me The train is leaving with a one way fee How can love be full when the plate is empty You think that love is take and no give But that is not how I choose to live I won't ask anymore of you Yes it's hard But it's what I must do I've reached for you but you turned away Letting your fears get in the way If only I knew what's inside your head Guess I will leave this one to rest I got a ticket for reality It's boarding now but there's no one here but me The train is leaving with a one way fee How can love be full when the plate is empty Cold and tired I wanna go home Even if I'll be alone Throw down my jacket and kick off my shoes My feet been hurtin' from walkin' with the blues I just want to live my life Reach beyond the darkest night Use a voice you've never heard Very seldom do you feel the words

The shutters closing the sun is down The traffic lights have gone red to brown Nobody out there is on his way going home The summer heat stays up too late That nobody can help but hate There's no way out except with those who've flown The night will come and make it easy and leave the troubled minds behind... oh yeah The fires and burning lights are here and in the sky Enough tonight to light up all the eyes The lovers breathing into their ears The rich are lighting the chandeliers The kids are going out hoping to waste their time The taxis stopping to take no one The junkies think they put out the sun Out in an alley starts another lights crime The streets are always now so crazy The face of the moon is hard to find... sometimes But still if you try you'll see its light shining in the sky Enough tonight to light up all the eyes The night will come and make it easy and leave the troubled minds behind... oh yeah The fires and burning lights are here and in the sky Enough tonight to light up all the eyes, enough tonight to light up all the eyes Eenough tonight to light up all the eyes.... enough tonight to light up all the eyes

Red 05:08
Standing on the foot of a mountain Sitting in the depths of the sea Stealing from the coins in the fountain Picking up mangos from and apple tree Fly up high go through the clouds Then you fall so hard, find yourself out of bounds Running down and endless tunnel Biting off the branch of the street Sleeping in a spiraling funnel Waking up with no eyes to breathe Fly up high go through the clouds Then you fall so hard, find yourself out of bounds Then everything will be red, from your fall until you hit your head RED RED RED REEEEEEEEEEEED

Isn't it funny You think you're so smart But you don't know anything Trying to rip me apart I can't stop laughing To see you try so hard I try to see your point of view But you can't even see that far Struggling to fill the room with your ignorance Thinking that no one is on to your plan, well I am It's so amazing That you never knew But your so clever I'm sure someday you'll find a clue You have no say for what I do I think it's time that you read the news Struggling to fill the room with your ignorance Thinking that no one is on to your plan, well I am You're so pathetic Whining when things don't go your way Like alittle child, only for them it's okay You're always rehearsing what you do and say Well, if you like acting try acting your age Struggling to fill the room with your ignorance Thinking that no one is on to your plan, well I am Maybe one day your shadow Will slap you around Pick you up from the shallow ground So low, shallow ground Will you come around Shallow ground

One Tear 05:07
I miss those days in which you carried me So high I was almost blinded The sky opened to retrace it's fields Where you lay for me and I revealed... Could it be lifted once more to the heartbeat I traced And chased... What are you I walked in on this mystery, analyzed the seasons How can one change without the other I miss those days feeling like all eternity One galaxy of only you and I As we swayed through grounds never named So burns this fire, yet not to light a flame Could it be lifted once more to the heartbeat I traced And chased... What are you I walked in on this mystery, analyzed the seasons How can one change without the other I want to hold the dream you speak of Nurture your cry For when in turn Would it still be that high I miss those days where only songs and bubbled wine Could distract our minds Through this no one can replace One tear to quench For all time

I Don't Know 02:35
And I don't know where the time goes I don't care coz I don't know, I just don't know And I don't know where sunshine grows I don't care coz I don't know, I just don't know Some things are better left unsaid Some words are better off unknown Some things are never ever found Coz some things aren't for us to know Sometimes it makes me wonder Sometimes it makes me sing Sometimes I start to think that in the end, we all win And I don't know where the wind is born I don't care coz I don't know, I just don't know And I don't know what all this fighting's for I don't care coz I don't know, I just don't know I don't need answers to questions that I didn't ask I don't need piece of mind about what comes next I just need to wait and see I just need to let it be All I need is to be happy Don't you agree? That's all you need Sometimes it makes me smile But it never makes me sad Sometimes it takes me under To show me what I have And I don't know if the heavens glow I don't care coz I don't know, I just don't know And I don't know where the seasons go I don't care coz I don't know, I just don't know And I don't know if I'll ever know I don't care coz I don't know, I just don't know

S.L.F. 03:31
I will pick myself up from the ground I won't be the mat for your door I won't let me down anymore I must throw these chains to the floor In this situation These things fall into a path of temptation So build up the walls of self preservation and find a better way to expand my elevation seeing clearer through I will pick myself up from the ground I won't be the tool for your chore I won't let me down anymore I must find the key to this door In this situation These things fall into a path of temptation So build up the walls of self preservation and find a better way to expand my elevation seeing clearer through My life is changing day by day And all of this pain it comes and goes It's hard to deal with these parted ways But I know the tides will bring me ashore

The lights have gone to bed.... tears are falling down the photos in my head are scrolling by Time passes... paints a picture but it doesn't change the truth The sun lifts up my eyes to the colors on the ceiling They change and make me change but they don't change the feeling Time passes... repaints the picture but it doesn't make it new The lights have gone to bed..... tears are falling down
