A darker shade of grey. The light gets washed away. Able to barely move like running in a dream It’s not what it seems It robs us of the things that make us want to live again Feels like I’ve lost a friend And then it all comes fading in as if to say, “How was your day? Did you try to smile away the sadness just to fail again?” This life is paper thin And then we reawaken on another page Don’t act your age Act out your rage Illusions before us To hinder the self One must become ones own savior So you may breath again
2.
What knowledge is this? Behold! Divine creations of a god who merely looks as though he’s bored. Cares more about a dying star than you or me or life beneath the never ending sea or all on land. And his warm forgiving hands And this life and all we know Are just pictures for his show So now I close my eyes. Look back at the days Wrestle with the agonizing news Another morning a never changing view Left with only spiritual devices And everybody’s happy Because the price is always right And the valiant, oh they fight With their rocks and sticks they came But they died without a name A tired god looks on.
3.
And I believe in those things some know not to be For I have died a hundred thousand times for all to see. For all to see. For all to see. I’m neither here nor there nor anywhere for I am free. And while I’m free and while I’m able My soul beneath the earth will spin the fable I never dreamed that one day I’d be here I need to breath it in before I disappear. Before I disappear So you say they don’t know me. Satellites fly above me. Take a look through the windows of my soul as so it goes. And people came from far and wide and held their hands up to the sky And put their faith in something they could neither see touch nor deny And I know that they know. And I know that they know.

Come together lets hold hands I wrote a song about death we call can sing along Bless the child Bless the son I wrote a song about death we all can sing along “No illusions. No more lies.” Said the Universe to all whom it applies Bless the child Bless the son And wrap your arms around the ones who sang along And don’t forget to haunt the ones you love For the ones you love may do the same to you And don’t forget to whisper in my ear When I am lost theres nothing to ever fear Or that I should fear No illusions. No more gods. Behold I see what brought me home to you.

We held onto the bridge out on the open sea. With no one else around. Only you and me. And we began to pray with water all around And so without reply we never made a sound Eyes burned bright yet couldn’t see all hope lost in front of me. Golden gears of a love divine somewhere somehow lost to time. And as the sun collapsed and as the moon did rise We set our gaze upon the holy heavens sky But did we ever doubt that he would hear our call? So with a final breath so was the final call.
6.
I threw away the photographs that made me think of you Behold the mighty sun was flushed out by the moon I looked away but always knew that picture would never changed But oh, the evil world would have its evil way with me and you. Forever waiting. Forever waiting. I walked around among the devastation and debris And found the heart that made the man that once was me I was alone and I felt free then I felt you in front of me Was it a dream? Am I awake? Or was it all one big mistake? For I am forever waiting. Forever waiting.
7.
The Universe it speaks through me Deep in the earth my roots, this giving tree This skin, this vessel that I’m in its only temporary And if god were here he’d tell it to your face Yea, he’d tell it to your face But as I stand before you vacant now Tomorrows just a memory As I stand before you now tomorrows a memory. Just a memory. The universe it speaks through me Deep in the earth my roots, this giving tree This skin, this vessel that I’m in its only temporary Unnecessary.
8.
Cast among the waves. Fearless is the heart. And holy is my name. And god just plays a part. And angels call to me as I’m swallowed by the sea. I’m off to see the truth thats been kept so long from me. I’m off to see the truth thats been kept so long from me.

he light gets washed away. Able to barely move like running in a dream It’s not what it seems It robs us of the things that make us want to live again Feels like I’ve lost a friend And then it all comes fading in as if to say, “How was your day? Did you try to smile away the sadness just to fail again?” Just let the darkness in No need to generate a motive to receive And one must believe and always know that theres an emptiness Inside us all So we must learn to fall and learn to see the blatant beauty that we are So say you are. So say you are So say you’re wonderful And, “I am beautiful” and “I am intricate in every single way” So how was your day? How was your Day? This life is paper thin Were here then gone again Just to reawaken on another page. So how was your day? So how was your day? (One must believe)
