Swinging Bridge

There will come a time
There will be a choice
There will be a span
You must cross on your own
And you can never ever complain
You will earn acclaim
You will be demeaned
You will be the target of
Burdensome judgment
Turmoil, censure, and blame
Fall away
Honor perspective, but don’t let it lead you astray
Face your concerns
Confront your distress
All of your deep-felt affliction
Thwart and deflect
Cross with intent
Surmount with resolve
Appease all of your cravings
With gumption and guile
Fall away
Honor perspective, but don’t let it lead you astray
Fall, fall away
Bend the horizon, but don’t let it lure you away
Don’t let it lure you away
Don’t let it lure you away

Want It
04:39
|

Take my hand and I’ll take your hand
And we’ll reach up towards the sky
I help you and you help me
And together we will fly
Watch my back and I’ll watch your back
And together we will try
Take my hand and I’ll take your hand
And we’ll reach up towards the sky
Clever souls with risky goals
And you have to really want it
Obsessions breed and passions lead
And you have to get beyond it
Rules gets loose and the plot reduced
And you really have to want it
Heavens churn and the tempest turns
And you have to get beyond it
[repeat first stanza]

Phantom Matter
03:48
|

Phantom matter, wanton truth
The sea is calm
And it all goes sideways
Strange arrangement, no dispute
Disregard the time
Endless sessions, second line
Hidden knots
And the charts are tangled
Pointless beacon reassigned
Leading towards the fuse
Answers float but no one heeds
Weighted down
With the urge submerging
Well-prepared but ill-conceived
Disrespect the key
Unframed reference, site unseen
Bones are calm
But the orbit stricken
Walk away while it’s all pristine
Struggle to concede
Phantom matter, wanton truth
Strange arrangement, no dispute
Endless sessions, second line
Pointless beacon reassigned
Answers float but no one heeds
Well-prepared but ill-conceived
Unframed reference, site unseen
Walk away while it’s all pristine
Hope will define me
Loosen my grasp
Clouds drift inside me
Bleed through my past
Hunger will guide me
Passion should last

Live in Your Dream
02:51
|
|||
Plant your wish, drench your desire
Flaunt intent, charm and inspire
Values alone
Shimmer past your deepest shadow
Values alone
Light may emerge
Luster burns the hidden passage
Light may emerge
Boldly care, nothing to save
Fill the void, don’t be dismayed
Values alone
Shimmer past your deepest shadow
Values alone
Light may emerge
Luster burns the hidden passage
Light may emerge
Values alone
Forge yourself within the challenge
Values alone
Light may emerge
Drape yourself in aspiration
Light may emerge
Let me in
Let me live in your dream
Live in your dream

Everything starts with a simple kiss
Everything starts, everything ends
Everyone longs for that simple kiss
Everyone longs, everything ends
Everyone wants to touch the sunlight
Everyone wants to hold the moon
Everyone wants to be the hero
Everyone wants to be consumed
Everything begs to be cherished
Everything lusts to bring the heat
Everything hopes to be the timeline
Everything wants to be complete
Everything starts with a simple kiss
Everything starts, everything ends
Everyone longs for that simple kiss
Everyone longs, everything ends
Everything starts
Simple kiss
Everything starts
Everything starts
Simple kiss
Everything starts

Nighttime Accord
02:58
|

I should be tired, by now I should be deep within a dream
Alert and watchful, discovering a well-concealed theme
This moonlit recourse stretches far, so far, beyond my grasp
These nighttime insights, they never seem to last
This time is just for me
Unadorned, unobtrusive
Relinquish every claim
Promises laid to rest
Becalmed at 3am, wide awake, utterly assured
Branches tap the glass, sifting snow, evidence obscure
This moment standing still, resolute, hinting at neglect
Chance and purpose, so seldom intersect
This night is just for me
Undeterred, deferential
Relinquish every goal
All my thoughts, incidental
This time is all for me
Promises laid to rest

I Can Help You
05:09
|
|||
Your mind goes still
Your heart feels ill
Your soul distilled
Retreat, revoke
Prolong, provoke
Impinge, encroach
I can help you
Yes, I can help you
Advance, immerse
Embrace the curse
Entice, coerce
Endorse the spell
Corrupt, dispel
Pervert, propel
I can help you
Yes, I can help you
[“I think I can help you”, starts every line below]
Gonna chip away at your core ambitions
Divulge your innermost premonitions
Gonna find and fix the original blunder
But we’re gonna have to put you under
Gonna drop you down with those deep vibrations
Gonna set you up with those stiff libations
Gonna hurl some sparks, gonna pitch some thunder
But we’re gonna have to put you under
Gonna dig down deep, gonna get primeval
Gonna scorch the roots of your deep upheaval
You should know up front that we’re far outnumbered
But we’re gonna have to put you under
But you gotta have faith and you gotta be willing
It’s a bit of a risk and it’s gonna be thrilling
Gonna strip you down ‘till your unencumbered
But we’re gonna have to put you under
It won’t be fast and it won’t be graceful
Gonna launch some mass and it’s gonna seem wasteful
But tell me now -- did you really love her?
But we’re gonna have to put you under
