Existence! What do we have here? How far does it reach, Beyond the near? Who made the gods, If they even are here? Where is the mind? How old is love and fear? If I can reach across to you, Can space go forever out? We would all be but one Or so forever apart. Can we understand How small we really are? Or will the ego come And rip it all apart? Time, All of time In the blink of an eye Never shall we part Until before we lived The Sun just keeps on setting So very long ago. Look at the sunrise From the day behind the world Look at the sunrise As it’s always been and will be Look at the sunrise Bringer of life and thinking Look at the sunrise Over the endless sea of time Feel the sunrise.

Morning Sun 04:18
Born with our eyes open Born with our minds open Cast adrift Awe at the sun Crying for shock and our mother’s arms Look to the endless sky See the void, or see the light The answers fall Down at your feet One world One world, is true The labyrinth of opposing views So easy to get through Seen from above They try so hard In the morning sun To build the wall But never get it done ‘Cause it’s one One The light of day comes again Peel back another skin Fall right through Wake to see Life And nexus of the world Is true Here within the strange day Anything can be A labyrinth of collective views No need to see from above They try so hard In the morning sun To build the wall But never get it done Try so hard In the morning sun But time is still And there is only one One How will it end?

They say to be a mind Is this way, that way All day surrender to their mind They look to see through the same eyes The mind will play And play forever They come to own this mind Welcome to the imaginary day Who said it has to be that way Time alone changes the day But we stand here still And as they come to own the mind They won’t let go ‘till they die Brother falls to need the life forever Just where they want him But they don’t see.. The mind will fly And flies forever And won’t be set in stone, oh no They fail to own this mind Welcome to the imaginary day Who said it has to be that way Time alone changes the day We won’t stand here still Welcome to the imaginary day None can say it has to be that way Time alone, they fade away And we can move on These fools come to own the mind We won’t stop this time They come to choke this changing mind Madmen who can never ever win Each breath brings the new mind We take to the sky and fly

New Sky 03:50
Woken far in time Long time slumber Welcoming back to life Fallen to a world Like lost home Travelled through silver sky The plan was to live and breathe Could it be so that we could live Under this new sky Found here so much life Two worlds in one Under and over land But caution for our breath Poison beauty That we could never stand So cold That we could never live Under this new sky So we indeed did go Take this to your life below..

Lan 05:01
They come here from Lan They feel like human Ancient mystery Waiting to be seen Undercover dream Symbols to be seen Emergent stories Taken from the sky Left behind Answer the questions Of their mind They come here from Lan They feel like human Traces of their past Gone And so alone they feel Wait, we call you to the love Shown in the field The truth is now Closing for good They come here from Lan They feel like human

Something about the way You me Something that you say To me Something about the way You me Eyes scare like everlasting dream Transfixed on the scene She says unto me ‘I’m gonna make a change Change coming over me I’m gonna change the way That you me’ Something about the way You me Something that you say To me Something about the way You me Eyes scare like everlasting dream Power over me She says unto me ‘I’m gonna make a change Change coming over me I’m gonna change the way That you me’

Gunnns 03:47
They took my Mama away Said there’s nothing I can say I miss my Mama so bad Only Mama that I ever had That money won’t save you Not with one foot in the grave Money won’t save you With one foot in the grave Take your Gunnns They got the rocks in their head They want all life dead Their views are so bad Only view the ever had That money won’t save you Not with one foot in the grave Money won’t save you With one foot in the grave Take your Gunnns
8.
Something 04:47
Talking to you after the storm That raged through our town yesterday The night sky like fire was alight As the rain began to fall You told me that it’s alright In time the sky would heal In the fall of this next day The tide was turning still I can see Something, something burn bright I can see Something, something inside Finding gold under a stone That did my foot betray A rich man I would now become My troubles drifting away The paper bird that you made Did but come in through my door And in its claw I did see My gold would be mine no more I can see Something, something ain’t right I can see Something, something inside Catch the sun Such to behold My fingers they burn I can see Something, something burn bright I can see Something, something ain’t right I can see Something, something outa sight I can see Something, something inside

Well, this is all I am Waves fall into the sand Everything I know and I see Is all there will be of me Well, I think, I am here Wake from sleep to appear Only now and it must be true Live in a dream? Maybe not as it seems.. Internal mirror Stare at my life The blink of an eye I wonder how and why? I see outwards in me You see you just like me No perception may just have meant There was nothing No one to see everything Internal mirror Stare at my life The blink of an eye Wonder tears I cry There is no future There is no past The moment will last Until here and now Point your finger out into the sky Draw the line out there into your mind Have you heard that it can never end? Till the waves come crashing in again I pull in the air Free, the world disappears Think about the endless sky That is inside Inside my mind That is what’s inside

Stone3 04:21
The paths in our minds Seem to fall into line Too much Go somewhere different Exigent is such I don’t want to walk About the beaten path That’s made Transformation Go another way Third stone heading straight for the sun Another world just begun All we need everyone Heading into the sun Seeing the same thing everyday What rules have said it’s gonna be that way? Chances falling out of reach now You can change You can change this whole style Third stone heading straight for the sun Another world just begun All we need everyone Heading into the sun So easy to stray from the norm It’s all a game And I know that it’s sold Down to the notion Of the same old plastic cage Trying so hard In safe, familiar ways... Again Third stone heading straight for the sun Another world just begun All we need everyone Heading into the sun Third stone from the top of the sun Communication coming strong All we need everyone Heading into the sun
11.
City 05:00
City Won’t you save me from my own life City Save me from my own life Slow down Slow right down You’re moving too fast for me baby City Save me from your grey sky
12.
Dreamstate 03:55
In the day I see you now my baby River flowing Flowing down to the sea Like you to me This time coming like a dream Circling to show us where we go In the night Take me down Unto the sea now my baby Days melting Melt unto the sea Like you to me This time coming like a dream Friendship to never end It seems In the life now
13.
Into the thought they came stumbling The elements once declined A carriage of progression had begun Ready to shine Sat back they looked on To see what would become Their reaction was surprise As to what had begun Much amazement was felt For this new romance But as one outgrew the other They would no longer dance Changing mind Left behind The world They came And so bold To ride Ride its wings to the desert, dry The once shining and ready map Was given to this child And its eyes grew so sinister So clever and wild Aghast they were held Showing its grey glowing knife And it riddled in cunning persuasion To laugh at their forsaken life Changing mind Left behind The world They came And so bold To ride Ride its wings to the desert, dry Help me baby Help me from your twisted mind That pulls me from the ground The illusion you’ve made Now seems to be the only way In a sea of lies That’s what you told But I am you, you see More that you can see Got to go now Got to go Got nowhere to hide Got no in, outside Got to go now Got to go
