A New Revolution
Falling from sky into Earth
Light is released
Sleeping by rivers at night
Thirsty at dawn
Waking up from eternal life
To find just what is real
In your house
I see heaven
Sleep now
Nothing's left here
Crawling on the floor
Where hypocrites find their own evidence
Opening the door
Leading to the temple burned with righteous ignorance
Self righteous ignorance
But I see you living my forever
Impatiently we venture out for love
Oh in solitude we question our own love
Leaving the essence of the love
Calling off the revolution
The freedom was buried in our minds
Climbing the steps to broken hearts
Where we'll meet in time
Burning down the resolution
Salvation is longing for the sky
Covering hearts with new intention
As we define
I will lift the weight of your ability
Crushing out eternal solace
I will watch you leave
Facing the night, as time wanders by
The prisons you've built will not hold me inside
But will you?
The chemicals return
The essence of the night's sun
Buried in the heart there's a memory
Tears that have fallen
Remind me of that dream
The night shall return
The fires will burn
All through the town, right through me
Hidden in the dark, your arrival
Divinity defined in a spiritual reform
I'll meet you here
Lost in sight
Will you breathe me new life?
As we wake from the night
Calling off the revolution
The freedom was buried in our minds
Climbing the steps to broken hearts
Where we'll meet in time
Burning down the resolution
Salvation is longing for the sky
Covering hearts with new intention
As we define
The citizens are divine
Yeah the citizens are divine
And your citizens are divine
When we breathe we believe
That we're only a matter of time

Miracles of Yesterday

Miracles of Yesterday
Miracles are lost in disbelief
Emotionally charged, the energy
Colors emanate from the unseen
The purest light will cover me
Breaking down every paradigm
Defining our existence
Miracles of yesterday will bring me back to earth
Taking off, all systems go
We’ve gotta find our reasons
Miracles of yesterday will bring us back to life
Everything is conscious energy
Imagination, wants, realities
What you bless embodies your beliefs
A hidden world to be released
Breaking down every paradigm
Defining our existence
Miracles of yesterday will bring me back to earth
Taking off, all systems go
We’ve gotta find our reasons
Miracles of yesterday will bring us back to life
Gratitude's the face of God
Energy is what we are
Taken from the source
Body is the physical
Taken from the tangible
And it shall return
Back to the ground
As we go down
Breaking down every paradigm
Defining our existence
Miracles of yesterday will bring me back to earth
Taking off, all systems go
We’ve gotta find our reasons
Miracles of yesterday are miracles of now
Breaking down every paradigm
Defining our existence
Miracles of yesterday will bring me back to earth
Taking off, all systems go
We’ve gotta find our reasons
Miracles of yesterday will bring us back to life

You and I Will Change the World
Drink now
From this heart that's holding a love
That beats in isolation
A call on me to call on you
To find the essence of no meaning
The bleeding hearts just beat for peace
Awakening
By the flicker of a slight temptation
Rising up to conquer me
I’ve wondered what it takes to start a revolution
I’ll change the world for you
Surrender to yourself, to me
No contradiction will save the world from you
Somehow
The thirst will bring us to the ground
Bow down and drink from water flowing free
The deed is dead, the consequences linger
Impurities are washed by intention
Ideas end with destiny.
Don’t stay asleep
And dream with all the silent dreamers
Spirit rise from under me
I’ve wondered what it takes to start a revolution
I’ll change the world for you
Surrender to yourself, to me
No contradiction will save the world from you
End war
Take love
Break pride
The sound of the heart is the beat of the drum
Make refuge
In surrender
The void in your heart is the key to the world
I’ve wondered what it takes to start a revolution
I’ll change the world for you
Surrender to yourself, to me
No contradiction will save the world from you

Keep It Together

Keep It Together
Dreaming of annihilation
A call to arms
Await in silence
Reaching for the lies
I found I’ve told
Feeling for the right emotion
Watered eyes in dry delusion
Drowning in a flood of words
So clear
I’ve kicked it around in my head
Have we come to the point of no surrender?
And if we walk away
l’ll still be singing songs
Peel away a dream to follow
Can’t you see the world of sorrow?
Here is where I’ll search for my lost soul
You know
It’s waiting for a revolution
Calling out in disillusion
Tired eyes won’t find their way from here.
It’s sticking around in my head
Are we reaching for ground while kicking water?
And if we walk away
I’ll still be singing songs about you.
We gotta gotta get away
We gotta keep it together
To find away
You’ve got a ticket to the world my dear.
You gotta keep it together
And when you have to fall away.
Don’t give up
Keep yourself alive!
Taking me back to the prison of past
Adolescence is everything
Holding to walls
But the ceiling still falls
And the ground is still calling to me
I feel it
We gotta gotta get away
We gotta keep it together
To find away
You’ve got a ticket to the world my dear.
You gotta keep it together
And when you have to fall away.
Don’t give up
Just keep yourself alive!

We Always Disappear

We Always Disappear
Feel the fear that falls onto the floor
It goes into the room you’ll always find me in
Is it real or just a dream to have you here with me again?
We always die here
Feed the doubt that flows into the room
Where you would find yourself always worried
Are you free and do you see the walls surrounding me?
Your voice in silence calling
The color of night bleeds into day
Voices are lost… but words remain
Colliding in vacuums we’re deep within dream
And you always disappear
Fading into vacant space, between the dreams of one
Along a silent morning
Memories will hang on me and start to breathe again
The sun will always die here
The color of night bleeds into day
Voices are lost… but words remain
Colliding in vacuums we’re deep within dream
And you always disappear
Dreamers will find annihilation, awake in memories
Visions flutter outside the realm of nowhere's possibility
The burning remembrance falls astray
I see your night return to day
The color of night bleeds into day
Voices are lost… but words remain
Colliding in vacuums we’re deep within dreams
And you always disappear
The burden of light creeps in to day
Voices are gone… memories remain
Colliding in vacuums outside of the dream
And you always disappear

When It's Our Turn
You've made your mark upon the world.
Leaving scars behind that'll only heal with your return
There you are believing love will last forever
Though you hide in yesterday
You'll shine on
Leaving every world holding our existence
And you'll shine on Earth
Burning through the ground
Finding your forgiveness
There you are again
Leaving life to find the silence in your memory
Where you go from here
Your needle points to north to live again
It all went south
But you'll shine on
Leaving every world
Finding your surrender
And you'll shine on Earth
Blinding everyone
Shrouding every word that calls for you
I feel you
See you
So down
You're so down
Don't let them tear into you
Don't let them break you down
Don't let them pull you away
They're gonna make you walk a tight rope
They're gonna pull you till you let go
You never tried, I'll never know
I feel you
Breathing in the light
There you go so far away from us
Close your eyes
Goodbye

The Drop

The Drop
Lies have spilled all along the doorway
Outside the temple
Anger fueled by a false perception
Expose the bloodshed
Broken bottles crowd the floor
Desperate measures taking ground
Murder on the path to God
Dividing us
Pure intention
The light reflects the truth
Outside the prism
Forward progress
Spinning round and round
Drilling into sand
Righteous deed lost in self awareness
Self righteous stranger
Lost indeed from the path to water
Their fires burn us
Broken bottles crowd the floor
Desperate measures taking ground
He who’s lost will save your soul
Defending us
Pure intention
The light will bend the truth
Outside the prism
Forward progress
Spinning round and round
Crawling in the sand
Lost between the dark
And the first light of coming dawn
We suffer through empty pages
Once filled with the glowing art of love
We follow
Will we rise again?
Or watch our beauty fade with the time?
In sorrow
Empty praises end with empty words
That follow God
Arrest this man
For crimes against the world at large
Here’s evidence
I’ve taken off my clothes
Naked to the world
And I will not give in to this injustice
I'm taking a chance to find my own way
I’ll need some assistance in finding you again
And I’ll be here and you’ll see I’m not the same (I'm not to blame)
I’m not afraid
Eyes try to see
Blinded by a wind I just can’t feel
As the world calls to me
When love will split the seed and find relief
Now
Tears wander free
Always longing for the sea
Falling through the air
Longing for feathered wings
Broken bottles crowd the floor
Desperate measures taking ground
Murder on the path to God
And we look on
Pure intention
The light reflects the truth
Outside the prism
Forward progress
Spinning round and round
Buried in the sand
Buried deep in dream
The path to water shall be seen
Levitating us
Addicted to this
Addicted to the tears
As we cry

Ambrosia
Shifting frequencies to the divine
Spirit seeks arrival
Body and mind compromised
Longing for Oneness
Divided by ego in time
Existence on arrival
We are constantly exuding light
Bury me in your world
Find me in your dreams
I've picked up the pieces that fell to the ground
Armed with seclusion
And I shifted emotion to find myself bound
By the illusion
Buried the memories of all I had found
Lost in delusion
As I wait for the moment of sight and of sound
Oh will you please drink with me?
Lost within circles
Spirit in nature divine
Crosses will crumble and fall
Unity through closed eyes
Cover the crescent moon
With the veil of the bride
Breathe in the essence of all
Effortlessly breathing light
Bury me in your world
Find me in your dreams
I've picked up the pieces that fell to the ground
Armed with seclusion
And I shifted emotion to find myself bound
By the illusion
Buried the memories of all I had found
Lost in delusion
As I wait for the moment of sight and of sound
Oh will you please drink with me?
As we drift to the sound of the earth
Feeding the self to return
Amrita flowing inside of me
Healing myself to rebirth
And we'll witness reality burn
Breathing ourselves into one
Freedom's the light of existence
Pick up the pieces that fell to the ground
Oh nonbeliever
Consciously feel the expansion of life flow
As you breathe in
I've picked up the pieces that fell to the ground
Armed with seclusion
And I shifted emotion to find myself bound
By the illusion
Buried the memories of all I had found
Lost in delusion
As I wait for the moment of sight and of sound
Oh will you please drink with me?

Floods

Floods
Turning all the pages of self awareness
You're hopelessly in love again... no?
Finding other ways to be burned
Yearning for life beyond the pleasant dream
Or not?
Words will fall upon the world of self indulgence
Frozen at the core
Letters weep too
Follow the flood of your emotion
Drowning in rivers so deep
Take into account all that she reveals
All that she is will be
Pictures of Autumn guide you on your every word
Isolation brings about your fear
No witness but the sullen tear
Reveals a suicidal flight to reach the ground at your feet
Follow the flood of your emotion
Writing in rivers so deep
Take into account all that she reveals
All that she is will be
Ladies and gentlemen
So glad you could be here tonight
We're gathered here today to hand out a new lease on life
However, there is a fee to tackle these problems
And there are known side effects...
One being, you just might wake up!
So we fear the unknown
It's taken me through your soul
Foreign dreams haunting me
The water 's deep in my lungs
Breathe with me
All I've known is lost
In you, without a home
Take me there
Make me aware
Speak my words
Call me back
Home
Follow the flood of your emotion
Writing in rivers so deep
Take into account all that she reveals
All that she is will be
Follow the flood (she will be)
Follow the flood (she will lead you to believe)
Drown in the flood
That it's all that she wanted to be

The Dream of the Sleeper
Changing with times for a tear
Leaves my redemption bound to the light
I touched the heart of the stone
And then ignored it
The circle’s defined
Raising myself from the fear
Saving the feelings for peace of mind
Over the hills in the east
Where we destroyed it
Westward in time
I saw you so far from me so…
Digging the sky for a light
One to seduce me
And all that I see are ominous clouds
Gazing down from the night as a warning
I cannot breathe
I saw you so far from me, so down
Trust in me my love
In return I’ll give you all that I’ve ever owned
Do you have the gun?
I will trust you’ll breathe new life to all you have known
Circles fade with time
Breaking my fall, taking it down, break it off
Tearing the walls, breaking it down, take it off
Leaving us apart
Breaking my fall, taking it down, break it off
Tearing the walls, breaking it down, take it off
Breaking my fall, taking it down, breaking off
Tearing the walls, breaking it down, (where do we go?)
Taking off
Find me in the circle that you’ve drawn
Breaking my fall, taking it down, pick it up
Breaking the walls, breaking it down, break it off
Tearing the wall, taking it down, breaking off
What do we have? Where do we go?
Breaking my fall
Trust in me my love
In return I’ll give you all that I’ve ever owned
Do you have the gun?
I will trust you’ll breathe new life to all you have known
Speaking of love defaulting to sleep
A dying dream’s final call for rebirth
Breathes with me
Finally free
Clouded skies give hope to the tears’ final wish to die in the sea
She’s so beautiful in life, and in death
She never slept nor was she ever dead
“We have to die before we die to be awake”
She said
The wind is cold
The wind is cold tonight
They’re roaming through fields of your existence
They’re singing the songs of your presence
Now be
I see myself ill in pictures that follow you
Let me sob in your love
My weeping eyes won’t judge the clouds above
My tears aren’t just water from the air
We breath so deep
I’ll get solace through your memory
I see you as if you’re in front of me
Down in the night of defeat
Alone in the lap of luxury
The aching heart of the drunkard
Pours his wine into your soul
As Intoxication slips away...
Your only witness runs down your face
Reaching for ground
Awaiting your arrival
The Seven Sleepers
And so we wake from our sleep
To find a love still breathing
And now I see what has happened to me
Awakened after centuries of sleep
Oh she never did return
She never followed me to freedom
Now I'm here alone
And it's killing me now
As I walk through the town
A calmness fills the air
Your presence surrounds me
To live again
Changing with times for a tear
As we dissolve it

Numbers
Late at night when we gather around the table
Praying for the lives
Of our fallen brothers and our broken sisters
With no end in sight
When the rain falls with the light of dawn
Will they rescue all of the ordinary people like us?
Who knows for sure?
