Stairway
04:13

|
I want to dance through the forgotten ballrooms of your soul,
Set ablaze the candelabras that once lit your joy.
Let my songs ring through the rafters
Of your long-neglected dreams
And banish the cobwebs from the stairway to your heart.
How long has it been
Since you danced in the fire?
How many years have passed
Since you dared to dream of love?
Tell me how long it's been
Since you felt your heart's desire?
How long since you've known
The flame that fits you like a glove?
Come, let me dance through the forgotten ballrooms of your soul,
Set ablaze the roaring fires of your deepest joy!
Let my voice ring through the rafters of your long-neglected dreams,
And banish all the cobwebs from the stairway to your heart.
There's no heartache in this world
That should keep you bound in darkness
There's no fear in your mind
That should ever own your soul
You are divine, a shining star
Your heart, your soul, your life is boundless
Stand your ground, face your fears
Behold your Spirit, pure and whole
Come, let me dance through the forgotten ballrooms of your soul,
Set ablaze the roaring fires of your purest, deepest joy!
Let my voice ring through the rafters of your long-neglected dreams,
And banish all the cobwebs from the stairway to your heart.
The stairway to your heart
Let me climb the stairway to your heart
The stairway to your heart

Notice Me
02:38
|
|||
|
Here I am standing in front of you
Pouring my heart out
At this point what have I got to lose?
Pouring my thoughts out
How do I know that you see me?
How do I know that you hear me?
There’s just one thing I want you to do
I want you to notice me
Notice me
Notice me
Notice me
I just want you to notice me
I don’t think you truly understand
What am I saying?
I don’t want our love life to be damned
What am I feeling?
How do I know that you feel me?
You need to know what you’re showing me
There’s only one thing for you to do
I want you to notice me
Notice me
Notice me
Notice me
I just want you to notice me
After all the talks we’ve had
I try so hard but I get resistance
And with all the love we have
Why can’t you acknowledge my existence?
I can’t remember the last time we made love
The only thing I know for sure is
I want you to notice me
Notice me
Notice me
Pay attention to me
I just want you to notice me
See me
Hear me
Feel me
Just notice me

One Time Thing
03:18
|

|
Chorus:
You say it’s a one time thing but I just don’t get it
A one night fling and now you regret it
Your apology has a hollow ring
You traded love for a one time thing
You say it’s only sex - doesn’t mean much to you
But what does that say about what we do?
You say it happened once, but I think not
The time you admit to was the time you got caught
(Chorus)
I guess I don’t blame him - he’s a dog anyway
And he wasn’t the one you set out to betray
I heard you cry in your lame defense
But some mistakes have consequence
(Chorus)
You say you’re young, wanna have some fun
Well you can have all you want, now that we are done
You can find a new place, I’ll return the ring
And say that we were just a one time thing
(Chorus)

I’m Fine
03:00
|
|||
|
Going down the highway
Fighting back tears
Right foot on the gas
Fighting back fears
I wish I was home
I’m not meant to be alone
Surrounded by friends
But nobody hears
And my head hurts
And my heart hurts
There’s so much pressure in my mind
Trying not to give up one more time
And my eyes hurt
And my hands hurt
Picking up the pieces of my life
No more pretending that it’s fine
I tiptoe through the house
Hoping no one wakes
I’ve been up for hours
My mind in a race
Even though I’m home
I still feel alone
What I need is some warmth
But nothing helps

Stay With Me
03:47
|
|||
|
Fires are burning
Storms are churning
The world keeps on turning
Spinning out of control
Humanity never learning
Our greed forever burning
Down our only home
Stay with me
Please just stay with me
Hold my hand
Here at the end of all things
Love me now
Until the last bell rings
And I’ll sing you a love song
For the end of the world
Every heart is hurting
Every soul is yearning
To turn away from all the pain
Hiding from things we cannot change
The time is far too late
We all know it in our bones
The only comfort we have left
Is to not have to face it alone
Stay with me
Please just stay with me
Hold my hand
Here at the end of all things
Love me now
Until the last bell rings
And I’ll sing you a love song
For the end of the world

Pipe Dream

It’s been a wonderful evening
And our chores are done
It’s time to relax now
And maybe have some fun
But before we hit the TV
Let’s take a moment or two
I’d like to smoke a bowl with you
Aren’t you glad that it’s legal
And we don’t have to hide
From all the curious neighbors
And the cops outside?
And so let’s go together
And do what we do
I’d like to smoke a bowl with you
It’s always been our secret
That we like to get high
And now I can’t believe it
I just want to fly…
So let’s stream a movie
Doesn’t matter what kind
And I’ve got a few gummy bears
For when it’s sleepy time
I don’t know anything that I’d rather do
I’d like to smoke a bowl with you
It’s always been our secret
That we like to get high
And now I can’t believe it
I just want to fly….
It was a beautiful day dear
And dinner was great
And so in our way dear
Before it’s too late
Let’s settle down and kick back
And do what we do
I’d like to smoke a bowl with you
I’d like to smoke a bowl with…
I’d like to smoke two bowls with…
I’d like to smoke three bowls with you.

Circlin’ the Drain
03:50
|
|||
|
I looked up at the clock today
Thought I’d lost my mind
It was tryin’ to tell me
I was thirty years behind
Don’t know how I got here
Or if it’s gonna change
I can’t help but feeling
I’m circlin’ the drain
All my kids have grown and gone
I still don’t know how
I have to drive almost a day
Just to see them now
Sometimes it’s longer
to get there on a plane
I can’t help but feeling
I’m circling the drain
I’m circling the drain
Going down, goin down
I’m in a spin I’m falling in
I’m Circling I’m Circling….
Angular acceleration
Pushing me around
I try to swim away
But I’m afraid that I might drown
Splashin’ and a-crashin’
Rattlin’ my brain
Wondering how little time remains
Circlin’ the drain…
I’m Circling’ the Drain
I feel I’m in a spin
I’m fallin in I’m falling in
I’m Circlin
I went to see the doctor
To try to cure my ills
All I ever get from him is
Chills and pills and bills
Sometimes I wonder
If the man is into pain
I can’t help but feeling
I’m circlin’ the drain
Welcome to the future
now that you’ve arrived
It’s gonna take more than you make
Just to stay alive
Your social security
Is a sprinkle when you need rain
I can’t help but feeling
I’m circlin’ the drain
I’m cirlin’ the drain….

Hiding
03:04
|
|||
|
There was a time when I believed
Each choice I made was right for me
I knew what I was doing
No wavering, I slept all night
Stood tall and proud, no fear to fight
Then along came my undoing
I can’t trust myself with me anymore
The twists and turns running through my brain
Are ripped and torn
I hide myself behind my smile
This train of thought goes miles and miles
But I can’t see where I’m supposed to go
I’m so scared
To speak my feelings, to tell my secrets
Because of what I’ve done
I’m not saying it for the guilt trip
I’m just reading between the lines
Now I question everything
What was true, what was real
I didn’t catch your clues
There are times I feel like I’m on trial
Like I’m stupid for not seeing things
I can’t believe it was you
I can’t trust myself with me anymore
The twists and turns running through my brain
Are ripped and torn
I hide myself behind my smile
This train of thought runs miles and miles
But I can’t see where I’m supposed to go
I feel guilty
When you feel bad because I am sad
Because of what you’ve done
I’m so tired of all this pain
When does heartache outweigh the love?
I can’t trust myself with me anymore
The twists and turns running through my brain
Are ripped and torn
I hide myself behind my smile
This train of thought runs miles and miles
But I can’t see where I’m supposed to go
Where am I supposed to go?

Gravity
04:02
|
|||
|
What goes up
Must come down
That’s how this world
Keeps spinning ‘round
No way up,
No way out
The rules are piled so high
They weigh us down
We’re just not light enough
To break gravity
(A section)
To fly among the stars
You gotta slingshot ‘round the sun
Catch the wind with tattered sails
And make it look like fun
I’m no Freddy Mercury
No shining star
I’m just not light enough
To break gravity
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
How does anyone get that lucky?
In exactly the right place
At exactly the right time
And become someone who’ll change the whole damn world?
Is it just a cop out, a reason to give up?
The face saving excuse
For not being good enough?
Or is it that the game is rigged
Against the fools like us?
So we’re never light enough
To break gravity
(Chorus)
(Modified A Section)
To fly among the stars
You gotta slingshot ‘round the sun
Catch the wind with tattered sails
And make it look like fun
I’m no Freddy Mercury
No living legend, no shining star (hold and dramatic pause)
I’m sorry
I’m just not light enough
To break gravity
What goes up
Must come down
That’s how this world
Keeps spinning ‘round
I’m sorry
I’m just not light enough
To break gravity

I’m Broken
02:07
|
|||
|
I’m broken
Can’t be who I wanted to be
I broke it
Can’t be who I’m needing to be
Wish I could sing
Wish I could be
Wish I could write
That sentimental love song
Instead all I can do
Is make things broken
I break the ones I hold in my arms
It’s all broken
I wanna keep you from harm
Maybe I’ve gotta scream
You should stay away from me
If you’re wanting out, this is your queue
So I don’t break you too
I’m just fucking broken
I wish I could change
My life is broken
There’s no way to ease the pain
I’ll move out of the way
Get everyone and run
And you can hold your love without worry
Otherwise you’ll be broken

Valkyrie
03:35
|
|||
|
Valkyrie, oh Valkyrie
From the land of endless snow and ice
Oh Valkyrie, now do you come for me?
Will you take this mortal man on to paradise?
In olden days with sails unfurled
Vikings burst onto the world
England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales
All learned to fear the sea
They sent many a Christian soul to Hell
But sometimes the Vikings fell
And when they did they cast a spell
To summon the Valkyrie
(Chorus)
With streaming, lustrous golden hair
She rides a white steed through the air
Down to where a broken man is waiting soon to die
She takes her hero by the hand
Leads him off to Odin’s land
If you met her you’d understand
Why dying Vikings cry
(Chorus)
From Valhalla she sallies forth
From the cold mists of the North
Guided by the love that Odin sends us from the sky
But I’m an ordinary man
No Viking sword is in my hand
My fate’s uncertain, still I stand
To summon the Valkyrie
(Chorus)
Now I’m at the end of life
I grow weary of the strife
But I know Valhalla’s hidden from the likes of me
Odin, hear my silent plea
Call Fire, Earth and Wind and Sea
Come rescue what is left of me
Or send the Valkyrie
(Chorus)

Storm Rider
03:33
|
|||
|
Flashes of lightning against the night sky
Rumbles of thunder on the quickening wind
The storm comes, the land trembles in the dark
Exposed and defenseless, she waits for the spark
I feel the turning of the wheel
The turning of the world
As the veil grows thin
And the night grows cold
Sheets of rain falling outside my window
Echoes of memories lost in the flood
Deep in the dark, where shadows are undone
Where the soul is swept clean ere the new day comes
I feel the turning of the wheel
The turning of the world
As the veil grows thin
And the night grows cold
Tyrants and Pharisees high in their castles
Hoarding the treasure they stole from the land
The time has come for justice to be done
Let the storm clouds rise! Their reckoning has come!
I feel the turning of the wheel
The turning of the world
As the veil grows thin
And the night grows cold
I am the storm rider
With the wind at my back
I call forth the raging thunder
And let loose the bolts of fire
That will bring the false towers down
I am the storm rider
With the wind at my back
I call forth the raging thunder
And let loose the bolts of fire
That will bring the false towers down
I am the storm rider
And I will bring the false towers down
I am the storm rider
