Scattered throughout the world, these seeds of lost memories
their faces tell stories, their faces tell stories of lives left untouched
they promise me a world that I could have known,
but mine is a place that only I can own
Gaze through your window where you can not see,
your pictures perpetually reminding me
that mine is a choice that may never be
an instant reward that you all may seek
Withering away, I'm feeling low today,
but soon I will bloom, but soon I will bloom
It's difficult to say just where I will take me
these distant faces they can never know
those far out spaces I wish I could reside there
with endless traces of happiness too good for me
too good for me, too good for me, too good for me
Gaze through your window where you can not see,
your pictures perpetually reminding me
that mine is a choice that may never be
an instant reward that you all may seek
Gaze through your window where you can not see,
your pictures perpetually reminding me
that mine is a choice that may never be
an instant reward that you all may seek

(verse)
It graces me, always in my dreams
Such feelings I desire to be my own
the visions of past lives surrounding me
a perfect medley of all that I have known
But it's hard to hear, when all I know is fear
a melody that's calling me from beyond
and it's tough to feel, when everything that's real
shatters the illusions that I hold dear
(chorus)
In my Fantasy I can be free, safe form the world of sleep that wants to harm me
You are the bringer of my demise see me for what I am through honest eyes
(Verse 2)
I long to loan my mind to someone else
to share with them my reality
imagination, a gift that must be felt
a fragile figment impossible to see
but it's clear to me, such gifts are not to be
these thoughts are only to be mine to keep
and it's bright as day, there can be only one way
a chance that I could wake this sleeping world
(chorus)
In my Fantasy I can be free, safe form the world of sleep that wants to harm me
You are the bringer of my demise see me for what I am through honest eyes

Gazing at the Future
09:52

I see it now, we're gazing at the future
horizons forever go on
within this sound, vibrations of time
wondering how, how much longer
the sky is calling all of us home
it whispers to us ascend your throne
We are shining stars
extinguishing the dark, shining from afar
illuminate our ark
I'll tell you how we're writing our own stories
guiding all towards our light
release your fears, they'll only destroy
a beauty above all others
this journey, we all are welcome
this dream, we all can be
I'm gazing at the future

A Perfect Frame
06:14
|

I give to you and you receive
your smile inciting my belief
we've come too far to let go
this gift of ours belongs to no one
Where do we stand when we can't feel
our final thoughts, what will they reveal
a perfect frame of our life within
the drifting thoughts of our countless sins
Our True feelings are given life
they sing our tales of sadness and strife
convey our love with no words to speak
elate ourselves to the highest peak
from up above nothing is concealed
phantasmic beauty, I long to be real

Hello my friend, I've come to take you away
Just follow me, I'm going to save you today
All of the ones that ever hurt you are gone
I know it's hard to know it's not you that's wrong
Your smile can shine brighter
Every day belongs to you
Feel yourself growing lighter
Your life dawns anew
your world begins to bloom
Rejoice my love, there's no more sadness to feel
No painful thoughts, now you can begin to heal
I'll guide you there, the place that you see in dreams
Your smile can shine brighter
Every day belongs to you
Feel yourself growing lighter
Your life dawns anew
Your world begins to bloom

Inside Lives
04:43
|

Tangled in my web of insecurity
I secretly desire to keep feeding the fire perpetually
Trapped inside this net of scrutiny
I reach out to the world and plunge my hand unfurled into apathy
Inside lives, the place we hide
Inside lives, the great divide
No one knows just what they'll find
These inside lives, these inside lives
Inside lives, where you confide
Inside lives, where the truth goes to die
No one else may come inside
These inside lives, these inside lives
Shield myself from thoughts of anxiety
They penetrate my wall, and instigate the fall of my sanity
Clinging to the shreds of humanity
My feelings all but burned, the last remains interned in vanity
Inside lives, the place we hide
Inside lives, the great divide
No one knows just what they'll find
These inside lives, these inside lives
Inside lives, where you confide
Inside lives, where the truth goes to die
No one else may come inside
These inside lives, these inside lives

Look upon all the world, tell me what you see
chaos that reigns supreme, perpetuates the dream
there's a word that can end it all but to speak it you must learn
requirements that must be met, for knowledge you must yearn
there's no time to live in fear for the enemy is here
apathy and IGNOREance are all that they hold dear
and I will show you all that is true, it's all that ever was and will always be
To Know the lost word and to speak the lost word
is to take this lost world and free this lost world
We have always felt alone, abandoned far too young
locked away deep inside, we strive to carry on
self loathing left unchecked begets a state of fear
people lacking self respect destroy what I revere
there's no love in their plastic world
for their eye is firmly closed
and no Care for the real work that matters the most
and I will make you see all that you do, you can't take what's wrong and make it a right
To Know the lost word and to speak the lost word
is to take this lost world and free this lost world

Within a Dream
06:19
|

Peering through, I see you
standing tall as though the concept of falling did not exist
Hear me now, I feel the sound
working its way into my core
Redemption lies in your skies,
raining down like never before
Aaahhhh, can you feel it?
I can feel it
These settings never last, these feeling always change
This world just moves so fast it leaves me feeling strange
There's no time to delay, we all must persevere
Towards that fateful day, we all must shed our fear
We are the ones, your judgement we shall pass
The final nail in your coffin we will smash
We can't pretend to be any but who we are
Your act of tyranny has simply gone too far
Aaahhhh, can you feel it?
I'm within a dream...
