Turn the emptiness up loud From the heart of here and now On the verge of all we ever are Just a flicker on a wall It's a far cry from the soul That is just below us awakening Enter with your beating heart And a dream on the words you say And you wish upon the stars And you know we'll never lose Cause the futures a promise to you Just as long as there's time Are we sitting here stained watching our colors fade Turning into the silhouette against the wall Run from the air the future breathes Shout at the walls make freedom speak We are the fall, the rise in all Running with heart and promise drawn Hear the ghosts inside my head telling me what I have said Now they're all jumping and now On the cliff on the verge of it all Is a tower of control mixing all these signals inside I don't want to be here where you can't hear me at all I want to shout in the eyes, we're not a silhouette at all Run from the air the future breathes Shout at the walls make freedom speak We are the fall, the rise in all Running with heart and promise drawn I'll go or I'll wait, just promise you'll be on the other side Clearly falling for a restless idea coming to life Here I feel the rush through my veins calling me alive Run from the air the future breathes Shout at the walls make freedom speak We are the fall, the rise in all Running with heart and promise drawn

Hold on, you're the last one of your kind Almost gone, you were blending into time Still in the run of the past colliding on All that was gone is now calling back to me Up from the lights and towers in our eyes Hung in the dark, the secrets of the light The air feels alive from the system that's inside You're one of the few chosen to ignite life Sound waves keep calling back to me From above my head in the dark sea Listen higher To hear who you are You know you're something other than A simple system Of vast emptiness That's thickening between this lens Still wide awake, dreaming miles away I still hear the faintest sound hitting my ear With a cross from a tree, reminding holes in me A kingdom so loud, how can't we make a sound Lost waves keep calling back to me From above my head in the dark sea Listen higher To hear who you are You know you're something other than A simple system Of vast emptiness That's thickening between this lens

Empty Worlds 05:38
Wait until the world falls down, to open space where we once were found Way deep into those eyes, I see a face I don't recognize Of blank, swirling in disguise, that soon will fade into this empty light Let go, I need you know I need your love, I need your love Lay wide awake in sights of breaking lights burning up like fire Way on the dark side of those suns, in open space where we started from Falling open Oh Taste the air above the sky, and feel the cold of the worlds gone by Oh way deep into those eyes, I see a face I don't recognize Falling open Into dimension In the empty sky I'm waking Oh Wake as all the sights come alive, and all you feel inside is what's fallen away Wait till all the world falls down, an empty space fills now with a new sight Let go as colors rise on the break, the call inside you shakes for reverse of fate Falling open Into dimension In the empty sky I'm waking Oh
4.
Words are not enough to describe you Nor a song enough to find you But here today I see light shines in a new way But dark waits to hide you Before we open all the doors And let everything in Just know that I will try For if we could find our time Somewhere nowhere lost out in time, lost out in time Still, the earth in it's beauty can't define yours clearly But there you stand staring deep into merely sand Or maybe seeing us on a distant land Where I am by your side With nothing left to hide That's where we will find For if we could find our time Somewhere nowhere lost out in time Somewhere in the silence Nowhere in the darkness Somewhere nowhere If I could I'd jump through Rather than left without you We could escape on the dust Leaving this old world to rust Oh Darling the night is falling Yet the day is breaking through Out on this golden shaped day Close yet miles away from you Search the trillions of galaxies I can't find one like yours
5.
Stay 05:36
Spill your words on the street Television sets you free Speak your heart on the satellites We're alone, complete is gone You say your the one to lead it all But no ones here to hear anymore Kiss the ground to feel the sky And wonder if we can fly But the ground is still a long way down Oh, oh, Through the glass an open path Forms the whisper, the garden shows In us closed we can't hear it at all Plead of hearts set the stones The poison streams in our blood Like the speed that we travel in Oh, oh, Stay oh love here in my head Hang our heights above our ledge If I try to reach my arm And piece the vision of who we are As our transmission is coming back to us Oh, oh, Oh, oh, Still our stars will never be ours Still we run away from you, to you Stay oh love here in my head Hang our heights above our ledge Oh, oh, oh, oh
6.
Do you wander out far, to see it all clear, like you did before Cause I don't know where to stop, I keep falling up, oh, oh Do you wake from your sleep, alive in the fear of falling asleep Lost out in wonder of silence we speak, oh, oh Do you wander the edge, and search for the end, right above you stand As I stood on the ledge and let go of your hand, oh, oh I don't know why I did, I'll wonder the days I live, oh, oh Let's play the mood like we never left here And drift the wonder in the ides of this life Dividing in two, I never meant to Be motionless Do you ever think of the weight of the stars, cause I feel them every night I couldn't stop the rise and fall, like all the kingdoms before, oh, oh Let's play the mood like we never left here And drift the wonder in the ides of this life Dividing in two, I never meant to Be motionless

Take a breath, I close my eyes and fade out Wishing light would come out and show itself Walking along this brightly lit city street Singing beside the melodies around me, and I drift out Hang up my coat, and walk back down to the Earth Back to what lies in these bones and skin Excitement and fear living so close this year Creating all the melodies inside me, and I drift out As my eyes drift out Sweet light, street lights fade out In bright lights my sight is found In tones and in stars glows, it glows Staring so deep in through the moving air At last I can keep the feeling of moving stars Under these eyes, atop of this chair tonight The melodies I find in the stars light As my eyes drift out Sweet light, street lights fade out In bright lights my sight is found In tones and in stars glows, it glows It glows
8.
Was looking back through an hour glass In all the centuries that past And saw the sand change and collapse As our world's turning over In a dark sphere Was looking back in sphericals of small worlds lighting up Through all the things I've said and done Once wonder filled, these eyes are done From dreams that slowly reappear A gentle glow that once was near Is now a fading distant sound I hear in riddles all around Take me higher Above the cold air Far gone out there Beyond all the glare Take these eyes back to the end Before motions of dark began In this bright sphere watching suns Turning into faded ones From cold fires that burnt the clouds Enough to let a star come out Shouts a story that's untold And future plans to unfold The world's turn leads everything Back to where it became The small light that grew so large Yet lit this world up with dark Take me higher Above the cold air Far gone out there Beyond all the glare Take these eyes back to the end Before motions of dark began In this bright sphere watching suns Turning into faded ones, oh Take me higher Above the cold air, yeah Far gone out there Beyond all the glare In a dark sphere

Static 07:12
It's all in a rush now, it's a lost escape The world that's spinning all around me has stopped I enter the air in this place that stretch for miles Lost in this rush of what you left me in Standing in lines that are clear and then disappear One minute holding her world inside mine Falling away in the image of time Gaining everything an escape can bare Drifting out into the static around you Taking (oh) all of me, as I'm falling In movement of motion in a world's escape Collide in the blues of a rush that still remains With shadows and signs of still life that exist between us Moving to motions in reverse Drifting out into the static around you Taking (oh) all of me, as I'm falling Drifting static sound weighs us down Falling signals fade in and out

In the City 04:46
It's a beautiful night under the city light Distracted in all of distorted nights Lost out of words, losing a waste of time Watching the clock as I'm losing mine I keep looking in rooms of the city light Hoping one door will lead to where you are tonight So honestly slide words in the city And they come back to me, bright in the city light, yeah Out in stars losing heart from the start of the start Wandering broken streets in the dead of the night Trapped in clocks of broken time, oh I've wasted all mine Losing air from living life under the city light Under lights hung too far into the sky The posts line the road, mimicking sunlight Every door looks like home, every house is alone It's a beautiful sight in the city tonight Out in stars losing heart from the start of the start Wandering broken streets in the dead of the night Trapped in clocks of broken time, oh I've wasted all mine Losing air from living life under the city light
11.
Out of the woods comes a southern face, yeah she's an angel from a brighter place She brings the sun with her lovely voice, and stand in beauty with no other choice Her eyes can bring the whole world to it's knees, and melodies that seem to calm the seas The look that pierces right through your eyes, she holds the secret without a try And it's only till I realize, that our worlds will never align A little southern queen that shines around, yeah she's the bell with the sweetest sound There is no word to describe her, her beauty's deeper than all colors Speechless left with the effect of every glance and of every breath Then she speaks into my ear the sweetest melody that I'd ever hear And it's only till I realize, that our worlds will never align Then she shows me what a curse looks like As she slowly walks on by Like an angel wrapped in lights And I just can't get her out of my mind Night falls on the southern land as her head falls on her hand Sparkles spring up in the night above and below her in flight In the dark I see her light, brighter than the brightest light Pulling me closer in, to the steps where love begins And deep in her eyes the answer lies, that our worlds will never align Then she shows me what a curse looks like As she slowly walks on by Like an angel wrapped in lights And I just can't get her out of my mind

Dark in the heart of night came the bright lights through the ribbons of the sky Crashing with sound waves from deep in space, riding through the dirt Capturing our fields in landing ways, looking for life beyond theirs Do they search for the same As we do, here everyday For love and journeys through space The same, just fighting to react Machines scan the bare grass while the others pass to meet humans at last We feel our ground shake and each question ache from the footsteps they take The sky is still lined with lights coming down, we are closer now Do they search for the same As we do, here everyday For love and journeys through space The same, just fighting to react The truth lies in their eyes of beyond earth's sky will be answered tonight Out in the moonlight with rhythm plaguing minds of the two sides Words shoot from their lights about love and life beneath earth's beautiful sight Do they search for the same As we do, here everyday For love and journeys through space The same, just fighting to react
13.
Can you hear me cold as I speak out loud, calling you out to the bottom The words on my lips are numb from the hits, and numb from the air growing colder Just tell me you'll try better than I tried, now I lay here with the silence Did you feel it too, deep in the blue, holding your eyes back from running away Oo, Oo Can anyone hear the sound of the fear, in echoes that just are now reaching The gravity high is pulling apart the sky from the tips of my fingers But here in this time running fills my mind, since way back the sun began to shine With cold on my tongue and warmth in my breath, I reach from the end where it began to shine Oo, Oo Oh up to the land of visible circles our hope is up Reach through the air, we push until altair descent It's colder as we go, but further these worlds are a bright glow Far circles of hope call us through altair decent Can you hear me call, can you feel me fold, my message is clearly glowing But I hope to see those colors again, as long as the cold can hear me descend
