Oh the eerie glow of the winter as it comes and goes, Cygnus in the storm, there's an egg hidden down in the sand, So your hazel eyes, they are islands floating in the sky Aviary knights, they'll fly and they will wave goodbye Pixels in the skyline, they light on when I get up at night, There is nothing wrong seeing the sun set from the wrong side, so you're in the sky telling everyone you know to lie, pixels on my headline, I admit I'm getting old, alright So you sail through the night like a hollow bird in flight, Oh Cygnus my love I will leave everything behind, it's only clutter on my mind, Fly away with me today Footprints in the snow, there are creatures that will come and go, Worlds they will erode, extinction has been set in stone, all the world's a show, there is water filling up these holes, Dreams in monochrome, this dragon has been birthed from stone So you sail through the night like a hollow bird in flight, Oh Cygnus my love I will leave everything behind, it's only clutter on my mind, Fly away with me today
3.	The Nazca Lines 03:50	lyrics	buy track
You wiped your tears and then you looked out to the lines, your hair was blending into the sunlight, Then rays of silver slowly turned to rays of gold as I made my way backwards in time, Are we growing? Are we living? We've discovered The Nazca Lines And she was born in early May, And she gave me her own name, and the day I bought the ring, she ruined everything, she promised me snow, mountains, cabins, cats, and ghosts but now it's been a long time, Why do I even pay it mind? We've discovered The Nazca Lines One day in summer everything began to blur and you faded into my old life, But there are buildings that you've built in my mind, you're what's missing from the dark skyline, Are we growing? Are we living? We've discovered The Nazca Lines

5.	Ten Of Cups 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Clouds are falling out of the sky, We are dreaming alone at night In a watercolor bathed in light from the fire keeping us alive, There's a palace down in the sea, Pearly gates and coral green, Where we hid and tithed, we laid and cried, by the fire keeping us alive, Auras surrounding everything, chanting hymns and burning things, with flashlight eyes and dirty minds and things that keep us up at night, Holes are swallowing everything, there is air under my feet, cause heaven is a place you see when you learn to see through everything So my love, I'll never know your name, Getting old, you almost forget the pain, Brick and mud up to my knees, They made off with everything, I told them once, I told them twice that they'd become what they despise, Sometimes I can hear them sing, from the well under the trees, They've digitized their very minds, the ten of cups is what's their prize So my love, I'll never know your name, Getting old, you almost forget the pain, As we fly, we look down on everyone, So far gone, And I guess we're the only ones
6.	Echolalia 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Gliding on the water I can only hear the echoes of my pleading tonight, Sole illumination is explosions and implosions from the stars in my eyes, Sometimes there is sunlight but it comes and goes just like the lonely moon and her tides, You think I'm lost at sea but no one understands that I will return in due time, I'm alright I make love to darkness My sky is starless Floating below the ground Glowing under this town And you could not see anything apart from the explosions in the stars in my eyes, Sometimes there is moonlight, and that is the reason why I am so hopeful tonight, You and I we built a monument to all the things that we have done in our lives, and even when we're gone the people will come 'round and say 'Oh what a marvelous find' Flowers started growing, and the truth was lost somewhere in the deep descent of time, Sinking to the center, we exist somewhere in between loneliness and the sky
7.	Stigmata 04:01	lyrics	buy track
Star dust, dancing in the light as you sit by my side, look me in the eyes, All the monuments you've crafted they have ruined over time, but linger in my mind, ohh I swept stigmata off your eyelids, you had never been depraved, I hear it's all the rage now it's seven years later, you're the Queen of Summer Rain, you wear it all the same, ohh I believed in love when I was twenty-one The palms of my hands bled, and thorns stuck in my head And if the world's so blind to see men in the sky The shadows must be right to hide out in the sky

9.	BABEL: ON 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Misinformation paradigm, I only wrote this 'cause it rhymes, Is anything ever quite real? Numbers tell me what I should feel, It's no use arguing with time, I'm probably crazy, that's alright Babylon, Babylon, she lies waiting in Babylon Babylon, Babylon, she lies waiting in Babylon Insert subjective metaphor, what is this song so meta for? These chemicals run through my brain, it's just another rainy day, Tonight we climb above the clouds, to watch as heaven over crowds, Babylon, Babylon, she lies waiting in Babylon Babylon, Babylon, she lies waiting in Babylon Misinformation paradigm, reusing lines to save some time
10.	Moon 04:48	lyrics	buy track
In the glowing hairs of the aging moon, I still see you, With your sulky stare and your resting face, coming to, Through the restless days and the shiftless days, I'm a fool, 'Cause my heart beats fast but my lips don't speak to tell the truth, I still see you in the glowing moon, I still need you, the breath just won't come through, I'm a sturdy wall I'm a heavy fence, I can't speak, I'm a muted sound echoing through depths, indistinct, You're a blinding light showing through the trees, and off the leaves, In a quiet world who would ever think you'd hear me? I still see you in the glowing moon, I still need you, the breath just won't come through, As the summer dies and the days go grey, smokey bleach, I will beg you please not to ever leave, stay with me I still see you in the glowing moon, I still need you, the breath just won't come through,
11.	Rainbow Body 05:01	lyrics	buy track
Bluebirds far from home, Rainbows in the snow, Giving in to fear, Colors disappear, Winter's getting old, North is where I'll go, Windows in the sky, Space ships flying by, Soaring in my dreams, Find out what it means, Phoenix from the Sun, Hold me 'til I'm numb, Love is everything, This is why I sing,

13.	Dream Collector 02:24	lyrics	buy track
And so you said I am the love that you can't afford, And I protest that I'm someone you can't afford, So show me how I'm wrong, or I can't finish this song There's a tree in the woods when no one is watching, There's a moon in the sky and someone is howling, I am a great inventor, I am an innovator, There's a tear in your eye and no one is calling, There's a hole in the sky, and the night is dawning, I am a dream collector, a sleeping cultivator there's a dream that I have almost every night, It's a song in my head that I can't get right, I am a messy thinker, I am uneducated there's a place in my mind where I know I'm going, There's a voice in the sky and it's ever knowing, And now the moon is growing, and now the moon is growing
14.	Colors 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Following the moon, this is what I do, all the brainless things that I said to you, When I still missed you, What else could I do? Colors in my mind, wasting all your time I don't recognize myself, saying things I've never felt, Now it's all gone blue, all the walls of my own tomb, Now it seems I'm safe, Colors only procreate, Counting all the ways, to make you see my brand new shade, I am turning blue, Like I always knew, Dancing for you, in this dreamy hue

17.	Journey Through The Night 05:31	lyrics	buy track
We've seen each others dreams, We've heard each other sing, And you know that's hard for me, I've lived another life, with you by my side, So why can't I do this right? And I'm always alone, just wanting to go home, Yet I'm climbing on my own, And I've almost touched the sky, exploring every night, But I still can't do it right, on my journey through the night, I've heard it all before, been muted and ignored, Am I missing anything? there's something you can't see, developing in me, And it could be anything, Yggdrasil the violent tree And I'm always alone, just wanting to go home, Yet I'm climbing on my own, And I've almost touched the sky, exploring every night, But I still can't do it right, on my journey through the night, Just sitting in the park, some miles after dark, Becoming Joan Of Arc, And if I disappear, Just know it is sincere, I'm free of all my fears I've been gathering for years And I'm always alone, just wanting to go home, Yet I'm climbing on my own, And I've almost touched the sky, exploring every night, But I still can't do it right, on my journey through the night,
18.	Weep For The Witch 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Sitting in her time capsule, Where my ghost is twelve years old, Blanking on her name right now, But she would always draw a crowd, Burn her Celebrating not one day, Drinking her fears away, Shutting off and shutting down, I weep for you, the city frowns
19.	Eht Namuh 04:10	lyrics	buy track
I don't know your name, never seen your face But we're up all night 'cause the puzzle's the same, There's a voice on the radio, it seems in shame, So we've all gathered 'round and we're playing this game, When the sun comes out it's time to be brave, all the music on this station it just sounds decayed, There's a dozen left of the people who stayed, And we're all important to completing this maze, Eht namuh, Eht namuh And we're taking these notes, and we're building these moats, And we're patiently awaiting your transmission, We are dragonflies, you are hiding in a lie, then you show up and we meet our competition, Eht namuh, Eht namuh So you speak in metaphors, you're locking the doors, just curious to see if we can find you, then I find the sound that you hid in the ground, And I'm wondering how much I'll have to dig through, Eht namuh, Eht namuh
20.	Mode-7 Heaven 04:07	lyrics	buy track
I grabbed everything that the sea would bring, But it seems there's still something I'm missing, Hold onto my wings, we will go find peace, Take in what you see Heaven, Heaven You sing me a song and we go to sleep, Pianos are dancing in my dreams, I never will find everything I need, and that's just the key Heaven, Heaven

22.	Hy Brasil 05:05	lyrics	buy track
For seven years I've sailed along, Wanting once more to hear your song, But now I'm lost in the fog, And I don't see it as something wrong, What is it that I haven't found? Maybe it's good you aren't around, You're floating through some other town, While I remain here on the ground, In Hy Brasil, In Hy Brasil, One day I landed on a beach, A smokey castle in my reach, but now I gyrate through the sea, why do I exaggerate it's meaning? Maybe 'cause love is hard to find, You have to leave it all behind, You paint a portrait in your mind, And hang it up so god damn high, In Hy Brasil, In Hy Brasil,
23.	Nothing Matters And Nothing Exists 04:18	lyrics	buy track
There is a message in the stars tonight, It's been a long time since I've fought this fight, Why do my dreams place you back inside my mind? While my delusions tell me it's alright We are kings and queens of a faraway land, In which we get confused between the stars and the sand, And we can tell ourselves that we're so very rich, But nothing matters and nothing exists, nothing matters and nothing exists And now I'm on the roof and you're not here, The lines along your face have disappeared, And now the elders they are fading, And so the saddest part is waking, 'Cause I'm the ruler of a kingdom in a faraway land, I've gotten everything I've wanted, and the days are all grand, And so I'll sleep instead of eat because there's not much I'll miss, Because nothing matters and nothing exists, nothing matters and nothing exists 'Cause I'm the ruler of a kingdom in a faraway land, I've gotten everything I've wanted, and the days are all grand, And so I'll sleep instead of eat because there's not much I'll miss, Because nothing matters and nothing exists, nothing matters and nothing exists

We're at the top, there's nothing here, My cares below, as well as fears, A place to hide, from all the tears, I've been asleep, so many years, Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake uppppppppp :3
