Amazon 04:02
Note from my heart, it's bound to be a very long day It's not cold when she's near, but lately I fear she's going home And I heard from afar, there's a voice telling me to hold on And I'm taking the chance, though at every glance I don't know But lately I've been trying, oh this siren call, it's all that I have left It's like a boy falling in love for the, the first time Like a poet learning to carry a rhyme She's like an amazon Because I'm scared to death of her It's like she's juggling with fire when she hangs around me Life-in-death meets mariner while he's down in the sea She's like an amazon And I can't get enough of her Is it just me or are things better off in my dreams If I could live them all without second call, that's where I'd be But this external world, it's all we've got to hold on to So live every day, and some will say it's been true But lately I've been trying, to chase my dreams, it's all that I can do 'Cause it's a breath of fresh air, to look in her eyes It's the one thing I need to do to realize You're not an amazon No, I'm just in love with you Not an amazon x4

Testing Fate 04:45
You came in like a tune A pleasant afternoon, 'til you ran away I tried to carry you From the dark of an old ruin, now we're testing fate But the road keeps on turning And leaves me with nowhere left to roam And the fire keeps on burning And this lost love is never coming home How much longer must I drag my back in this wasteland Until the snakes and the shrews start talking again Well I'm getting tired of the foreign road in this wasteland Until you rid me of this, it's over again it's over, my friend You came in like a tune From the dark of an old ruin, now you ran away How's the life that's constantly haunting you How's the trials of yesterday's dues and you beg to stay, yeah But the walls keep on falling So my last hope, it leads me straight to you So these burdens that I'm hauling Will be released, so my lost love, take me soon How much longer must I drag my back in this wasteland Until the snakes and the shrews start talking again Well I'm getting tired of the foreign road in this wasteland Until you rid me of this, it's over again it's over, my friend It's over again, oh x3 It's over, my friend

Desert Sky 03:28
Sometimes I like to think that I, Know better than I like to feel inside. Sheltered, I'm wearing a subtle guise, Defeated by visible welling-eyes. Submerged, ships sink sometimes. Calling out gods name, the captain cries. Breathe salt, boundless Atlantic skies, Sought solace, and all it's name implies. I know, and you know I'm better off on my own I know, and you know As we drift among the unknown. Small town kid, blinded by mornings light. We'd cross the stars, no end in sight. They said your love is a desert sky. So desolate and so bone dry.

Hear Me Out 04:52
Hear me out Before you shut me down I've been keeping to myself but it's getting to me I've been waiting for a change maybe this is how it's gonna be Hear me out Please just think about What you're saying what you're thinking what we're all gonna hear Cause there's a hundred different faces no you're not the only one here Because a voice is good when it can be kind Just 'cause you got one doesn't make it right Bottom of the pit but we'll be alright Just gotta hear my story Just gotta hear my story Hear me out Before you shut me down Oh 'cause freedom ain't free when it plays with your head It don't matter if you're enlightened or how many books you have read Oh you don't know my story Oh you got nothing for me now x4

Memories 05:23
To scale the wall, to reach the crest. An honored man, among the rest. His search for gold, oh he'll head west. An honored man among the rest. A folk song for the oppressed, Could ignite the lust that she confessed. He'd forgotten who those words addressed. An honored man among the rest. We'd sing along to old records Laying words atop those chords Out of pitch and out of key, Making memories. To walk alone, the moonlight's cold. (To scale the wall to reach the crest) Everyone's a story to be told. (An honored man among the rest) He who thought that his was foretold, The clock strikes, we're growing old. Veins are borrowed, a heart is lent. Every man must end his descent. And with faith begin the ascent, To an honored man among the rest.

I've always thought that the nights were jet black, December's covered in snow. I've always thought that, you always had a knack for knowing just when to go. But now I know You were the city light's glow. And I'll sit by the shore and I'll wish forever more And I'll sing for sure until the fog rolls in. And so the waves ring, and it meant everything when the suns rays have shown. And though infrequent, I'll offer my laments and try and reap what I've sewn But now I know You left me all on my own, yeah

You are not the sun, you are not the sun The light I've seen was fluorescent The tunnel doesn't have to end Can you sing in the choir of your masses Among the chaste you'll reside Your actions profane, you will hide I've reduced the memories to ashes And the lake in which I'll drown Grows dark with storm clouds aloft Granted no strength to swim across An angel dances in gown Static, so she screamed Upon my ears of infamy "Why would this happen to me?" Became another unanswered plea You are not the sun, you are not the sun Last year's adolescent A tunnel for one to descend
8.
Come in little one, take off your dirty boots Your life has just begun, be careful with your roots And lay down your heart to the one who holds you close Don't ever fall apart, go wherever she goes And wait for the day that your narrow mind will widen In a way let your heart be kind And always let your heart be the one to guide you And guard it with your life, or let it find you again When you're gone, I'll be singing Singing the songs, the ones that you used to sing When you're gone, I'll be dreaming And breathing the air, the air that you used to breathe
