Don't Stop The Rain
04:55
|

Don’t stop the rain as it came to provide us time for you,
my sweet refrain, tender pulse, feeling with no name.
This feeling, ever fleeting, I am seeking to sustain.
It keeps me going, keeps things flowing, volatile yet sane, don’t stop the rain.
I can’t explain nature’s way of providing all we need everyday,
though half the time we’re blind to the display.
To comprehend the beauty we are too terrified to see
would spell the selfless end to our false sense of superiority. I can’t explain.
Ah… Ah…… Ah… Ah…… Ah… Ah…… Ah… Ah……
<instrumental>

Six Legs
04:38
|

|
Close your eyes, your insides mesmerize me
‘till my whole world is undone and there is nothing but the sun.
Oh my lord, you hold me down beneath your gaze and wings of flame.
Trust me, you will see me fly again with lady
golden dawn. She covers me with silk to dream of evolution.
The dream goes on,
soft as a swallowtail’s song.
And I pray that this cocoon won’t last for long.
Here inside, I have tried to find the part of me that shines
and all this time you’ve watched it hide, oh things can get so contrived as we both know.
We both know when it’s time I may lose touch with you, but don’t undermine your fate.
And don’t try to understand me now.
Oh my lord, you tear me down with your small hands
and your six legs and I will never be the same again.
And it seems like this cocoon might never come to an end.

Oceania
05:27
|

|
My ocean floor… my sky of sunset, my breathing air. All alone and softly
My darken night… my chains of stainless, my breaking out. All alone and softly
My open door… broken pieces, my tunnel light All alone and softly

Seven Notes
05:52
|
|||
|
You’ve kept me seeking for the pearl at the soul of the world.
Blue skies, and wild eyes, and a limitless beautiful girl.
She will wake up and take up this banner of truth.
She will take on this world with a storm.
She takes over me slowly and shows me with pride how we all fit together to form
glory, harmony, beauty, duty.
Keep me forever. Turn me to wind if I escape,
or smoke, or seven notes of music. If you ever left me I would surely die.
I hold the banner flying high in the air and I hold my roots fast to the ground.
I give you the very best years of my life for the sake of a beautiful sound.
You can take all you want from my outstretched arms, my existence exists as your shrine.
For you drive me to do what my little mammalian self would consider divine
glory, harmony, beauty, duty.
Keep me forever. Turn me to wind if I escape,
or smoke, or seven notes of music. If you ever left me I would surely die.
Keep me forever. Turn me to wind if I escape,
or smoke, or seven notes of music. If you ever left me I would surely die.

Na matema. Kosala n'gai mabete
(on my heart; do not harm)
I Adore You
Some two days more I’ll be by you
If I could spend every day in your arms, I would come to no harm.

Half Acid Lee
04:23
|
|||
|
Collapse to inertia, not sure how far I’ll go.
Traps me like quicksand and it just won’t let go.
And it knows everything that I could be,
Tries to show the way and then throws away the key half acid lee?
Not spanning my range or even crossing the floor,
not knowing the danger I invited him home.
And he knows all of the lines completely.
And I know I’ve tried to keep my integrity half acid lee.
<instrumental bridge>
Choronzon, what can I say. It’s over and that’s all you need to know.

There Will Always Be
05:59
|
|||
|
There will always be something to chain me to you.
There will always be someone to make me feel so blue.
There will always be something to build a wall between us two.
There will always be something to make me speak true.
I float alone, millions of stars whirling around.
I hold my course, millions of miles shall bring me to you.
You break my falls, millions of times I’ve clung to your walls.
There will always be something to chain our lonesome hearts.
There will always be someone to make me fall apart.
There will always be something to brand me with your mark.
There will always be something to keep me in the dark.

Delphinium Kirex

I am I beast of sorts, I roam these hills these sounds and your attitude.
I am a beast of sorts and if you’ll not harm me then I’ll not harm you
Call away the branches that tore at your sweet mismatched eyes so blinded by rage
And away with the people there who would make you feel afraid
I can’t have faith in a race that would put you in a filthy cage
And you know I would have freed you, man, had I been there
But you turned out ok
I can’t tell you son who your father is. I can’t tell you son who your father is
I can’t tell you son who your father is. Delphinium Kirex
Followed you from France to the Volga
An afternoon romp - we nearly got curb stomped
But your cleverness found us safety in a tent in the bazaar
You know I was there in spirit as you find yourself here with me now
I take my tea with lemon, think of angels and wonder where you are
Now I see my situation and all that remains for my salvation.
Oh my heart’s on fire.
the shy one screams out exactly what’s on my mind.
We’re suddenly joined and hear me
Delphinium Kirex breaking ground, Delphinium Kirex fishes surround
Delphinium Kirex always around, Just around, Just around, Just around the corner

Rubbing My Eyes
05:57
|
|||
|
I’m lying awake, rubbing my eyes, scratching my head and dreaming tonight.
Black hope aside, crisp ebon eve, rose in the dawn, blue snowing deep.
Bright crystal morn, cold crimson dusk, green shimmering night, we’re lost in the dark.
Frozen bright star, bring me the veil of winter morning.
Soft frosted trees, sparking winds, feeling of soaring.

Sandpaper
06:26
|
|||
|
Texture of Sandpaper, grating, too familiar,
Too close to a dream of riding horses through the desert at night.
If wishes were horses the stampede would have killed her.
When she pays off her credit cards nothing will change.
Stay on, stay true.
Fire on the line… burns with a cause. Calling all who dwell within… find us.
Walking downtown again to a job that’s too familiar…
But really she’s traversing the icy shores of Antarctica
Like everyone else here she has swam inside a glacier.
If prehistory repeats itself we can all expect change.
Stay on, stay true.
Fire on the line… burns with a cause. Calling all who dwell within… find us.
How can we all have been frozen in time for so long?
The future is strange or is it strangely too familiar?
She’ll read about it in the clouds or see it on a screen.
The plot to keep everyone from seeing clear is working,
So she will just play guitar and close her eyes.
Stay on, stay true. Stay on, stay true
Stay on, stay true, Stay on, stay true

I'm Gonna Break You
05:58
|
|||
|
You, only you can walk away.
You steal dreams under skies washed out with lace.
You, only you can hold time down.
You try to hope, try to hold on, try to care.
You, only you can breathe on here.
You keep alive memory for the moist earth.
I’m gonna break you free, I’m gonna break you from me.
I’m gonna break you free, I’m gonna break you from me.
