Track Name: Storm Clouds
there was nothing left in me
there was nothing right
there was no sun in the sky
there was no light

and every enemy sought out a fight
when there was no sun in the sky and there was no light

no words would come to me at all despite
there was no sun in the sky
there was no light

i tried my best to feel, to sing, to write
but there was no sun in the sky
there was no light

there was nothing left in me
there was nothing right
there was no sun in the sky
there was no light

all the clouds were gray and they were trying to say
"stay away... stay away"
Track Name: The Beginning
alright, i know where i'm heading
and i hope you will join me
on a journey around the corner

we have our whole lives ahead of us
twist and turn into a new beginning
we can flip the tape again

our music molds us for whats to come
i hope you make the right decision
the right way to go? i don't know
just let the feeling overtake you

baby, oh baby
my body has been feeling all
psychosis afflicted, tuned into the channels of your mind.
i'm grateful that you've stayed so long
when the door has since been unlocked

our music molds us for whats to come
i hope you make the right decision
whats the right way to go? i don't know
just let the feeling overtake you

feel the tingle in your bones
feel the pulsing vibration
on and on

our music molds us for whats to come
i hope you make the right decision
the right way to go? i don't know
just let the feeling overtake you
just let the feeling overtake you
just let the feeling overtake you
Track Name: Rise
what do you when everyone knows what you don't want them to know?
what do you do when everyone goes where you don't want them to go?
what do you do when everyone else gets too close?
what do you do when everyone else takes control?

where do you go?
just let it go.

can you stop and reel in your mind and bring it back to real time?
can you stop and realize that there's nothing else here to find?
can you stop? just fall through the clouds and get ready to unwind.
can you stop? don't follow the whispers - you are in your prime.

you gotta push it out now
explode then bring it back now
'cause this is really real now and you've got me out of my mind
and i won't go back i won't go back until i climb.

where do you go?
just let it go.

this will be just fine.
no longer on the decline.
i'll prove that i'm devine.
and i will make this mine mine mine.
Track Name: Mycophobia
everything has led me up to this
and now i am in a decline
everything has been rearranged
every moment placed before mine
and this is the peak...

i am married like my sister
i am settled like my father
i give birth to you over and over again
this is just the way things are now
unconscious shallow needs
to consume and drink
and sleep.

neon colors sprawled upon us
shimmer shimmer in the black light
every time i touch you orange tones seep right through the pores
just in case the filament inside this lightbulb were to burst
i just wanted to let you know that i loved you i loved you first.

i know what everyone will say
connecting it connects a million ways
it fell apart so quickly it will never be the same.
i'm drenched and i will never be the same.

neon colors sprawled upon us
shimmer shimmer in the black light
every time i touch you orange tones seep right through the pores
just in case the filament inside this lightbulb were to burst
i just wanted to let you know that i loved you i loved you first.

break me out of this i need diversions and explosions
i need television, music, and a drive.
orange lights and street lights lead me to an endpoint.
i am sure i need these colors to survive.

neon colors sprawled upon us
shimmer shimmer in the black light
every time i touch you orange tones seep right through the pores
just in case the filament inside this lightbulb were to burst
i just wanted to let you know that i loved you i loved you first.
Track Name: His Head in the Clouds
i am in the sky and you don't want to go
but to each his own
the moon will fly right by and i will be locked in the glow with no where to go alone.

and when i start to fall, where will i go?
do you even know?
my wings will start to burn and my mind will slow
should you even know?
i'm hoping the clouds can break my fall
and when i hit the ground your hand i'll reach out for

how many hours it has been?
this will never end...
Track Name: Phoenix Drive
the path is in a line

man vs. clarity
oh, can't you see that you are ready already?
man vs. complexity
oh, can't you see that you are ready already?

the path is in a line

man vs. clarity
oh, can't you see that you are ready already?
man vs. complexity
oh, can't you see that you are ready already?

you are ready already

the path is in a line...
Track Name: Sooner Than You Know
talked to you from seven to two and i didn't know what to say
i don't know why it's hard to speak when you're only a few states away
if i had the time and money i'd fill up my car and go
wishing for no traffic on 95 so i could be there
sooner than you know

you told me how your day went
and every word you said just made me smile
reminisce about june-time adventures up north and how we hadn't seen each other for a while
and you said
"i'll be there sooner than you know"
Track Name: Breathing Exercises
i think we've finally reached the culmination
of this little exercise
thought i cannot find the words right now
i think that I'd do it again

i am so happy we came up with this
way for us to converge tonight
though we have evolved separately
we are both analogous

i will write for you if you'll write for me
this is our success, baby
i will wait for you if you'll wait for me
we both know we have made some progress

i think we've finally reached the culmination
of this little exercise
thought i cannot find the words right now
i think that I'd do it again

let's lock ourselves in the garage
we'll never come out 'til we're done
let's lock ourselves in the house
we'll never come out 'till we're done

let's shut off the lights and write the words
let's shut off our minds and write the words
let's shut off the lights and write all of this...

i think we've finally reached the culmination
of this little exercise
thought i cannot find the right words now
i think that I'd do it again

brainstorm with me
we can make things work
Track Name: The End
Wake up now
Its almost time
To leave this place behind
Theres so much more to find out
Where you're going
I'll be
Holding on to
The memories when you're gone
I know it won't be long

Hey hey hey
The ground is shaking but its okay
Oh oh oh
You've lost your footing but we all know
Its how we grow

This is the end
Of waiting for our lives to begin
And this is the start;
The beginning of the best part
Lives rearrange
We say goodbye and welcome the strange
This is the start
The beginning of the best part

And when you return
We'll tell stories of what we've learned
While living in the middle of a world
Thats a little too forgetful of its histories
The hardest part of letting go
Is when you're gone you never know
If its the last time you'll ever see her face again
The last time you'll ever see her face again

Hey hey hey
The ground is shaking but its okay
Oh oh oh
You've lost your footing but we all know
Its how we grow
Track Name: One Day
i've made some bad choices i know
never had any money or places i could go

one day
i'll leave this place
and maybe
i'll find someone to take with me

i know i'm not much to look at
i wouldn't want me if i were you
but someday i know that i'll change my thoughts on that too

one day
i'll leave this place
and maybe
you could go with me
Track Name: Breakthrough (Bonus Track)
break on through to the other side
show them all the better parts of the light
and one day when i am gone
i'll be proud that i was strong

we'll break on through

i won't change who i am for you
and i don't expect you to change for me too.
our love is real no matter what they say
we can't change the fact that we were made this way

so we will break on through

brothers and sisters the truth is in the letters
and we all have the strength in the numbers

we'll break on through
