Caught 04:21
Up and down the line In search of where I stand Forming all the terms But never the right words I long to vocalize my desires But my conscience blocks the way So many words caught in my throat I don't know when to release them I think I should try to wait till My heart and my mind agree Back and forth inside I long to, yet I shouldn't Intuition before impulse A hard thing to tame when My heart's a spastic mess Playing on the offbeat of my mind So many words caught in my throat I don't know when to release them I think I should try to wait till My heart and my mind agree With all these words caught in my throat I don't think I should release them I think I should try to stay away Till my heart and my mind agree

Welcoming the light Breath of fresh air Eyes swollen tight I’m dreaming of your stare Morning Memory In my waking life I’ve learned to repress But sleep, how it is rife With what goes unexpressed Morning Memory Meandering I’ll see you tonight We’ll embrace tonight I’ll smile tonight You’ll be there tonight Morning Memory Meandering Through melodies And maladies
3.
It’s gone away The echo of things that you said Seeds planted That flourished inside of my head Paralyzed I was paralyzed But you will drain me no more Phantom Power You had your way Left a mark deep in my soul Those weeds uprooted When I learned that I have control Revitalized I am revitalized And you will drain me no more Phantom Power
4.
Nebulust 04:08
Hearts floating in the galaxy Shooting stars across your eyes Connect the dots of the outer glows From far beyond the sky Soaring sparks of vivid color Dashing through your iris Joining streams of inner currents A chemical virus Oh, Nebulust Bodies of celestial Orbit slowly deep in the night And hidden holes of gravity Pull with all their might Soaring sparks of vivid color Dashing through your iris Joining streams of inner currents A chemical virus Oh, Nebulust

Coming back from a silent ride Separate hands and foreword eyes Close the door and off the light Keeping sure of little sight You turned to the other side I watched with tired eyes You began to go to sleep I lay with fury deep Staring down the blackened sky Watching spots adjust my eyes Listening to your breathing rise Feeling my heat subside You reversed and touched my side I looked with pardoned eyes Your breath upon my cheek We wiped the matter clean
6.
Worth 05:08
You say you want the best But forget you’re not the only one You say that’s how it has to end But please, we’re not all that dumb Oh my God Won’t you step back and listen to yourself? Oh my God You’ve got to stop spilling all that poison in your head So you’ve gone away And stripped yourself of more time Left us all to question everything There’s no more changing your mind Oh my God How could you do this to yourself? Oh my God I guess that you swallowed all that poison in your head You’re worth so much more than this You’re worth so much more
7.
Floating in a whirlwind of do’s and don’ts Guessing at the structure of wills and won’ts You find your heart restrained by strings Tied to heavy memories Oh, sweet oblivion Won’t you come along? Spinning ‘round the room with cautiousness If you land on that, you’ll want it this ‘Cause it doesn’t feel like dancing When history grapples at your feet Oh, sweet oblivion Won’t you come along? Distract from what’s happening Protect from what’s happening Forget what is happening Oh, sweet oblivion Won’t you come along?
8.
Echo 04:22
I climbed away For days up this cliff Jumped to the edge And shouted Echoing Echo, sweet You tease me Echo, echo, echo I leapt off Suspended mid-air Weightless and heavy Still screaming Echoing Echo, sweet You tease me Echo, echo, echo Echo, fade Leave me alone Please go on No more I landed And saw no one there
9.
Breathe Easy 04:51
Breathe easy Breathe easy Nothing’s going anywhere When you hold your breath like that Breathe easy Breathe easy You’ll only choke it all away If you clench your fists like that Breathe easy Breathe easy Calm your body, calm your mind There’s no use in anxiety Breathe easy Breathe easy Let it pulsate through you Making you come alive Breathe, breathe
10.
You're Here. 03:26
Stuck inside a hollow nature Scavenging for some content Fixating on helpless things Reassurance is nonexistent You feel your body’s fading Breathing faster, slowing down Aching inside and out And pressure rising for change Can you hear me now Loud and clear Open up your solemn eyes And realize You’re here This nature is far from shallow The content is all around Up for grabs and open to you So take all you desire Physical is always changing But for better if put to use Growing inside and out The worth is up to you Can you hear me now Loud and clear Open up your solemn eyes And realize You’re here

Adrift 03:58
(Instrumental) This song came to be On a winter afternoon Watching the flakes From outside my window My fingers on metal Spoke the only melody That I could hear From the white field Of treacherous beauty
12.
On the Wind 04:01
Miles away And oceans apart Lie pieces Of my tender heart The current’s Pulling me thin I’m sailing My love on the wind Watching the moon Through wax and through wane Faith in the skies That I’ll reach whole again
13.
Align 05:06
Tracing veins To beating hearts And lullabies To broken starts You Knew Shadowed eyes Now drenched with light A fallen star Still burning bright You Knew How to Break, flake, shake Ache, take, make, wake All of me.
