"Tiny Echoes"

"Tiny Echoes"



Sometimes I feel like giving up
Giving in to the dark
Sometimes I feel like crying out
Trying to speak from my heart

I wish you could hold me here
Give a reason whats it's for
I would try to become pure
Tiny echo of the lord

Sometimes I feel like loving you
Is all I have holding on
Sometimes i feel like letting go
It's a gift to be born

I wish you could hold me here
Give a reason what it's for
I would try to become pure
Tiny echo of the lord

"Too Much To Hide"

"Too Much To Hide"



The needle says she'll tell you when she's through
No sense now in trying to believe in you

Too much to hide
In your own two eyes
Too much to hide
In your own world

There's some you know you follow into doom
By yourself and in an empty room

Too much to hide
In your own two eyes
Too much to hide
In your own world

Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far, oh)
Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far, oh)
Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far away)
Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far away)

I'm down here and walking with you still
And part of me I guess always will

Too much to hide
In your own two eyes
Too much to hide
In your own world

Be here now

"Touched"

"Touched"



There is a twist in everything
Waking up at night
With a headache in a penthouse
That doesn't belong to you

Waking up with no one
But your own infringment on everything
And yeah you're a celebration
A diamond ring
But sometimes it just doesn't mean a thing
You get up and have your coffee
Buy your canvas, throw yourself against a wall
That in some strange instances becomes a sky
Or a vision or a tear
A kind of hallelujah dawn
This mess, this eternity of an existance
It's either a dull thud or an electric explosion
We all breathe in clouds of smoke
We see lights and then nothing at all
We all want peace as we rampage down streets of chaos
But in the distance
When I reopen my blinded eyes
When I conjure up the will to believe again
I know we are already home

Me and my folks
Ocean waves against our feet
Can anyone be talk to walk on water
The secrets are whispered in the ocean air
You blessed little children happy to be dancing together
Can you be so bold as to truly look into one another's eyes
To relax into each other
Somethings don't have to be explained
You just feel and automatically
Know we are here to heal
These wounds are deep
These wounds are eternal

Touched touched...

We approach death
Like wounded warriors
Arms crossed
Head bandaged
We approach death
When the wild call
Sings broken melodies
To fractured ears
As sunlit shadows
Blend evil fruit motions
Which rise from the street
And wreck torpedo hearts
Windmills spin eternally
Electric hearts beat endlessly
And the pulse of life
Surrenders to no one

Who am I
I'm touched

"Toxic Angel"

"Toxic Angel"


Cold hearts pound all around
But i found my angel
In the desert looking all around
For someone to strangle
In chains
Like a mad dog barking over what you've done
So strange
That the one you need is the one you shun.
Could you follow me down
With a love like yours
I don't know if I'm able
To keep my feet on the ground
With a mind like mine you know it's never stable.
Are you near? [repeated 4 times]
All my dreams underneath the ground
But i found my angel
Kicked off of the merry-go-round
By some toxic stranger
In pain
Like the way you feel
When you know you can't complain
So strange
Like the one who saved you
Is the one you say you'll blame
Could you follow me down
With a love like yours
I don't know if I'm able
To keep my feet on the ground
With a mind like mine you know it's never stable.

"Travel As Equals"

"Travel As Equals"


In the dark of grave yard chatter
In the light of freedoms call
In the heat of any matter
We travel as equals or not at all

Bloom disgust and class divide
I saw it written on the wall
The only way we can survive
We travel as equals or not at all

You can't be in greater comfort
As my pain prevents your fall
The truth will come and tell us brother
We travel as equals or not at all

And when we get to where we're going
Past the divide past the stall
Past the wind that's always blowing
Travel as equals or not at all

In your way [?], you found a way free
In your way, you found a way, follow me
Give it up, give it up
Give it up to your destiny
In your way, you found a way free

And you might have a greater income
Or you might be dumb and dull
But either way I won't leave you
Travel as equals or not at all

So help me too in my slumber
If I'm blind in madness hall
If I'm deaf amongst the thunder
Travel as equals or not at all

Lift the way forget the ransom
Free the chain and kick the ball
Let our love take us higher
Travel as equals or not at all

And down the road and through the sky
And on the tracks, hear the gull
Fly above us, without worry
Travel as equals or not at all

I hope your road takes you homeward
And may you always outrun the law
If I'm with you we will always
Travel as equals or not at all

Yes if I'm with you we will always
Travel as equals or not at all
Yes if I'm with you we will always
Travel as equals or not at all

In your way[?], you found a way free
In your way, you found a way, follow me
Give it up, give it up
Give it up to your destiny
In your way, you found a way free

In the dark of grave yard chatter
In the light of freedoms call
In the heat of any matter
We travel as equals or not at all

Bloom disgust and class divide
I saw it written on the wall
The only way we can survive
We travel as equals or not at all

The only way we can survive
We travel as equals or not at all
The only way we can survive
We travel as equals or not at all

In your way[?], you found a way free
In your way, you found a way, follow me
Give it up, give it up
Give it up to your destiny
In your way, you found a way free
In your way, you found a way free
In your way, you found a way free

"Travel As Equals (Acoustic)"

"Travel As Equals (Acoustic)"



In the dark of graveyard chatter
In the light of freedom’s call
In the heat of any matter
Travel as equals or not at all

Bloom disgust, class divide
I saw it written on the wall
The only way we can survive
Travel as equals or not at all

You can't be in greater comfort
As my pain prevents your fall
The truth will come and tell us brother
Travel as equals or not at all

And when we get to where we're going
Past the divide, past the stall
Past the wind that's always blowing
Travel as equals or not at all

Your way, you find a way free
In your way, you find a way follow me
Give it up, give it up, give it up to your destiny
In your way, you find a way free

Now you might have a greater income
Or you might be dumb and dull
Either way I won't leave you
Travel as equals or not at all

So help me too in my slumber
If I'm blind in madness hall
If I'm deaf amongst the thunder
Travel as equals or not at all

Lift the way, forget the ransom
Free the chain, kick the ball
Let our love take us higher
Travel as equals or not at all

And down the road and through the sky
And on the tracks you can hear the gull
Fly above us without worry
Travel as equals or not at all

I hope your road takes you homeward
May you always outrun the law

Travel as equals or not at all

In your way, you find a way free
Your way, you find a way follow me
Give it up, give it up, give it up to your destiny
In your way, you find a way free
Your way, you find a way free
Your way, you find a way free
Your way, you find a way free

"Turn You On"

"Turn You On"



She opens every door
Never calls you by your name
And when you say it's time to go
She looks at you like you're insane

But when she hears you play
She tries to sing along
She gets up and dances on the chair
And makes you laugh
When she sings

You say
I don't turn you on
Until it's time for me to go

She only cries at night
When the children are gone
She gets up to wipe away her eyes
In the blue light of the dawn

Laying on your chest
She's like a tiny cat
Brought up and broken on the street
You know she's the only one
That even knows where you're at

You say
I don't turn you on
Until it's time for me to go

She says crawl over here
I got something else to say
Pouring whisky in your coffee cup
She says I swore you liked it that way

She tells you how to stay alive
Acting like she's cleaning up your place
You could see every single star in the sky
Written on the expression of her lonely face

You say
I don't turn you on
Until it's time for me to go

You say
I don't turn you on
Until it's time for me to go

"Vacancy"

"Vacancy"



I know you're always alone
Looking for someone, a home
Don't wait for me
I'll be all right
In the ocean of your mind
I know I've seen better days
Walking through life like a maze
But I can see
You'll be alright
In the ocean of my mind
Turn on you light
Shining vacancy
With you I'm lost
Like a shell in the sea
But I'll pray for you
I hope you will pray for me
I know your always alone
Looking for someone, a home
I know you're always alone
Looking for someone, a home
Don't wait for me
I'll be all right
In the ocean of your mind
And you'll be alright
In the ocean of my mind

"Voices Will Fight"

"Voices Will Fight"



And where we live
Is where we hide
Cause we can't forgive
What's inside
We have sweet love
We have sweet love
We have sweet love
We have sweet love

In the night
Voices will fight
Voices of shadows
And the runaways
Running from love
And every sorrow left behind

And when we wake up
It's already dark
And i touch your face
To feel your heart
We have sweet love
We have sweet love
We have sweet love
We have sweet love

In the night
Voices will fight
Voices of shadows
And the runaways
Running from love
And every sorrow left behind

"Wait For Your Lights"

"Wait For Your Lights"



If you like the way you feel
I’ll leave you alone
Tell me now, the things you'd steal
If you had a home
I guess it’s pain, the skin you're in
Burning thru time
I’d like to see your face again
In the sunshine

I'm gonna wait for your lights
To come on
I'm gonna wait for your lights
To come on

And though now your brother's gone
He still sits with you
The little girl you used to be
So proud and so true
Walking thru the city streets
They bow down for you

I'm gonna wait for your lights
To come on
I'm gonna wait for your lights
To come on

I'm gonna wait for your lights
To come on
I'm gonna wait for your lights
To come on
I'm gonna wait for your lights
To come on
