Ask a man for his place and defenses Ask a child to wait Ask them both to be one or the other Narrow but safe Ask a child to let go of your demons Ask a mother the plead Ask them both to be centered and shine for a lifetime With no one to be Oh, oh, deeper and deeper And oh, oh, the longer we wait Oh, oh, deeper and deeper And oh, oh, the further we go Ask a stranger to channel your demons Ask a child to be Tell them both to become one another And it all meets an ending And it all cleans itself And it all bears the more it is given with nobody else Oh, oh, deeper and deeper And oh, oh, the longer we wait Oh, oh, deeper and deeper And oh, oh, the further we go Oh, All, shine a light in your place Oh, oh, shine a light in your place Oh, oh, the further we go Oh, oh, the longer we wait Ask a man to be seen and forgiven Ask a child to wait

Rainbows, Then Black 02:46
lyrics

Emotional storms can be fine I suppose And you wanted a feeling that knows where it goes Made it all disappear, can you feign the surprise? And that magic is back in your eyes Dusted it off, put it back in your hand And you wanted a feeling that runs on command Made it all reappear before anyone tries, And that magic is back in your eyes Nothing will change until you realize Its that magic is back in your eyes Don’t overstep, understate, just devour And you wanted a feeling that challenges power All the rainbows, and don’t knows, and sideshows then black, The magic is back in your eyes Don’t overstep, understate, just attack And you wanted a feeling that never fights back All the rainbows, and don’t knows, and sideshows then black, The magic is back in your eyes More subtle, more careful, from further away And you wanted to feel like you wanted to care All the rainbows, and don’t knows, and sideshows then black All the rainbows, and don’t knows, and sideshows then black All the rainbows, and don’t knows, and sideshows then black The magic is back in your eyes.

Now 04:59
lyrics

Now you know you saw the same thing In someone elses dream Past the weaker, near the safe Some by subtle some by naked and faded wings Try to lift it all themselves I want you to… Things have changed you’ve got to know that He said and then he got up angrily and left I guess people don’t want to be reminded Of who they were and that they’ve betrayed themselves I want you to stay now, play now Eventually youll run this day out Stay now, play now I want you to Stay now, play now Just run this day out Stay now, play now I want you to… Now you choose to mean the same thing In someone elses words Less the hero, more the pain Find another fault or other But mean it well, Now tomorrow, now today I want you to stay now, play now Eventually youll run this day out Stay now, play now I want you to Stay now, play now Just run this day out Stay now, play now I want you to… Its funny how things turned out for you…

Frank 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Frank didn’t know what hit him today He was in place and out of the way He looked around cause there’s someone to blame But all he saw was you there, in your best plain Frank doesn’t know how he got here instead He’s preoccupied in a hospital bed It’s reassuring that the doctors all know Why Frank stumbled when he tried to go home Frank doesn’t feel he’s constricted at all Without these chains he surely would fall He can ignore it for ever so long But his time’s moving faster and his list just goes on Frank is accepting some self evident truths He aspires for something much better for you He’s on the verge of accepting no more All your lies, damn lies and statistics galore Frank really isn’t one of those guys Who looks at life through an adventurer’s eyes The wrong side of the line in the sand Is where Frank sets up with the rock n’ roll band Frank stumbled but he just didn’t fall Frank stumbled but he just didn’t fall

Hymn 02:07
lyrics

Planetary motions that refuse to leave a trace Bound within the sound because they haven’t seen your face I can always try to make it back I can always try to make it back when youre around And im not Whats left is a promise that youll never know to keep Words can be your saving grace but they don’t hear you speak I can always try to make it back I can always try to make it back when youre around And im not I can always try to make it back when youre around And im not some selfless soul Im anointed , wear it all I can always try to make it back I can always try to make it back when youre around And im not

What did You Want to Say? 01:38
lyrics

The sun is up on another day Things cant help but stay the same Spills to hide and put away Theres nothing wrong with yesterday A smell, a taste a frame of mind Picked up and sorted by Some place so far away Theres nothing wrong with yesterday What do you want to say? Cells on cells and pushed away What did you want to say? What did you want to say?

Frequently Dead 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Fire! Just when you thought you were done, erasing in places Follows well worn paths Of course Ive got nothing to say Beyond the old truths were Narrow, well kept lies Home. At times I was frequently dead Going forward, all in all At times I was frequently dead Fire! Just when you thought you were done, destructive in places Others left untouched Of course Ive got nothing to do Beyond the old truths were self indulging lies Home. At times I was frequently dead Going forward, all in all At times I was frequently dead Fire! Just when you thought you were done, cleansing in places Burning narrow trails Of course Ive got something to say Beyond the old truths were even older lies Home. At times I was frequently dead Going forward, all in all At times I was frequently dead I wasn’t bought, I wasn’t sold Its nice of them to keep me in mind Im ready to go, desperate to know Its nice of them to keep me in mind Going home. At times I was frequently dead Going forward, all in all At times I was frequently dead Getting stronger, never more

Her 04:03
lyrics
If you could tell her how her song will go If you could tell her how these sounds will flow If you could tell her how it feels to know shes there You plant the seed As you look at her you form the words Creating the little world you share The beauty in her loving stare You you never were the kind to show You never were the kind to glow And yet you sing for her to know You you never were the kind to show You never were the kind to glow

Play Along 05:14
lyrics

Always the same response Always the choices you can make But dont You wait for it to change direction Even though you know It wont The sky can never change Faster than you will it to But what a view Am I conceivable Ferocious soulderlings will do Play along How close can you get to peace without running? How close can you get to peace without self?

For a Little While 04:14
lyrics
buy track
We don’t sleep We don’t sleep We don’t sleep Blessed by narrow dreams But no sleep We don’t speak We don’t speak We don’t speak Instead we wash away Feeling that we shared Something that we wanted But nothing that we cared And we don’t sleep We don’t feel We don’t feel We don’t feel Blessed by narrow thrills But don’t feel We’re not here We’re not here We’re not here Instead we walk around Trying to pretend That this is how we wanted Everything to end Blessed by narrow dreams I just want to stay I know that its sounds childish But I want to hear you say Blessed narrow thrills I just want to hide For a little while I know that it sounds childish But I want to hear you smile For a little while For a little while We don’t sleep.
