Dreams Tell No Lies 04:28
lyrics

when the trees play dead you know you're in trouble when the stars fall down it isn't for show when the omens cry to the gathering shadows when the dancers sing to a tune you don't know dreams are alive see how they roam dreams cannot lie but we cannot know it seems that they hide but really they show you're seeking the light and feeling its glow when they reach the end the stars become seedlings once they've made their mark the dancers fly when events unfold the omens witness then the trees reclaim their reach to the sky dreams are alive see how they roam dreams cannot lie but we cannot know it seems that they hide but really they show you're seeking the light and feeling its glow don't stay awake too long don't stay awake alone

Twilight Communion 05:23

It’s not a mirror but I feel another me and my eyes they’re not open not asleep there’s a voice it isn’t silent doesn’t speak swimming in waters neither shallow neither deep the blackness now is certain you see come before your eyes the vacuum that is circling means the sun is on the rise the blackness is returning let it come before your eyes the vacuum is a circle and the sun is on the rise freedom is neither one thing nor another leaving echoes not quite made of sound Mother, neither coming neither going opens wide as the lightning seeks the ground the blackness now is certain you see come before your eyes the vacuum that is circling means the sun is on the rise the blackness is returning let it come before your eyes the vacuum is a circle and the sun is on the rise A story that grows in the telling a voice that isn’t silent only sings a tale that doesn’t know its own ending a meaning that doesn’t owe it anything the blackness now is certain you see come before your eyes the vacuum that is circling means the sun is on the rise the blackness is returning let it come before your eyes the vacuum is a circle and the sun is on the rise the blackness poses questions and they dance before your eyes the vacuum is the best place for the answers that arise the blackness places blessings let them dance before your eyes the vacuum is the headspace where the answers can arise

Well I’m a stowaway in your beating heart I got stowed away before the beating started I been here for longer than you would ever would have thought I’m the stowaway in your bleeding heart I'm the stowaway on the tip of your tongue I got stowed away before the start of the song I've been here for so long that maybe I belong I'm the stowaway and a slip of the tongue I’m the stowaway in the back of your mind I’m so stowed away that I can’t be left behind I've got so good at it it's as easy not to try I'm the stowaway and I've got back in your mind I’m the stowaway in your royal court I got stowed away with gifts that never can be bought I’ve been here for so long that you never can be sure I’m the stowaway and I will never be caught I’m the stowaway in the heart of the sun I got stowed away before it was switched on And I’ve been here for so long that I never will be gone I’m the stowaway yeah I’ve been here for so long that you know my will is done I’m the stowaway

Senorita, Sing Again 06:03
lyrics

I can feel her watching on - senorita, what's your name? I thought I heard her distant song - senoritas sweet refrain a voice that echoes in the wind - senorita, what remains? I'm waiting for her to begin - senorita, sing again I believed in the song you were singing I believed that the song you sing is true I believed in the song you were bringing I believed that the song came from you she's gonna drive me to confession – senorita’s playing games senorita keeps me guessing - senorita, I'm in chains she is watching as I'm burning - senorita fans the flames senorita, I keep yearning - senorita, sing again I believed in the song you were singing I believed that the song you sing is true I believed in the song you were bringing I believed that the song came from you sing it out like you mean it sing it out how you feel sing it out as you dream it sing it out like its real now I stumble round delirious – senorita seeks in vain and this fever is mysterious – senorita stake your claim In the mirror I'm oblivious - senorita, don't restrain senorita, if you're serious - senorita, sing again I believed in the song you were singing I believed that the song you sing is true I believed in the song you were bringing I believed that the song came from you sing it out like you mean it sing it out how you feel sing it out as you dream it sing it out like its real sing it out like it matters sing it out as you dance sing it out with a passion sing it out take a chance

Don’t Blame the Cuckoo II 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Are you feeling lucky? do you walk alone? is there money in your pocket? is there a feeling in your bones? whether its real is immaterial as all the voices fade away In silence fly until its time to walk within the sacred vale you never saw no cuckoo Are your footprints burning? do your tracks leave a taste? and the memories returning leave ashes in their wake there comes a time when the skies seem empty and all the voices fade away In silence fly until its time to walk within the sacred vale you never saw no cuckoo Whether its real is just a detail so many voices who can say are you feeling under pressure? are you following a dream? looking for perfection and missing what it means In silence fly until its time to walk within the sacred vale you never saw no cuckoo In silence fly until its time to walk within the sacred vale you never heard no cuckoo

Let the Rain Come 07:02
lyrics
buy track
When you wake up and the sky is not the limit its gone missing and space is all there is as you look up you try to see what’s in it it’s as if you stand on a precipice Let the rain come let the rain come let the rain come and wash me away When you wake up and the sky has been stolen it’s been replaced by thunder as far as the eye can see you’ll embrace it until all you know is broken you’re in an echo chamber where everything repeats Let the rain come let the rain come let the rain come and wash me away It’s so easy to fall and nothing will stop you it’s so easy to just stop and close your eyes but the heart keeps beating though there’s nowhere left to drop to yes the heart keeps beating it won’t be denied So you walk on and the path is always narrow but there’s no limit the end is not in sight you keep walking on the path that’s just like a mirror you keep going even as you wonder why Let the rain come let the rain come let the rain come and wash me over me Let the rain come let the rain come let the rain come and wash me clean

To Save Midnight 05:02
lyrics
buy track
I tried to reach my hand through the broken glass to what I could remember when I saw it last the voice cries wolf but I hear no howls is he feasting on memories before they cry out? another door opens that I nearly missed an entrance to a world I didn't know to exist I tried to move along but I can't see in this light I have to find a way to save midnight to save midnight I wandered through the garden as a ghost with style catching eyes of lovers who then run a mile the stories they tell bring others in to see but though they look all around they never quite spot me I rattle my chains to indicate that the story isn't moving and it's getting late I cast a wild shadow I would later invite to throw it all away and save midnight to save midnight in many ways I fall apart I speak in tongues it's just the start I walk through cracks I'm out of sight but is my home in midnight? night has fallen and the skeletons speak they dance to a rhythm that they make unique the song they sing leaves me in no doubt That the hammering bones are hounding me out I fall into the day I should have never left behind with cries of impostor ringing in my mind I threw away my mask it was never on right I have to run away to save midnight to save midnight

Try to make a better wheel see how it fits the tracks try to keep it still see if it can ever turn back Life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life we sat on the edge of the spiral twas the only place to be I tried to reach toward the tale or did the tale reach towards me Life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life Rhyme does it rhyme? do the words flow into each other? Rhymes do they rhyme? do the words rest upon each other? Life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of Life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life is a river and time is the rhythm of life

don't resist you know you want to I can see it when I look in your eyes don't resist it don't become you just think of everything you’d sacrifice Don't look back just keep on walking I got a feeling this can only go one way Don't look back just keep on going there's the meaning and then there's what you say we have our reasons though they are so very small we have our reasons but you look and they’re not there at all we have our reasons but they're playing us for fools still we take our time and even though we really try to fight we can't resist don't give up you've got it in you otherwise it would not have come to this Don't give up we know it is true I can't believe it now as something that I missed don't let go just let it happen otherwise you will bend it out of shape don't let go think of what matters when its your feelings you really can’t escape we have our reasons though they are so very small we have our reasons but you look and they’re not there at all we have our reasons but they're playing us for fools still we take our time and even though we really try to fight we can't resist don't throw it away let it all reveal let it have its day let it all be real give it one more try can you really see let it be your guide to what is meant to be we have our reasons though they are so very small we have our reasons but you look and they’re not there at all we have our reasons but they're playing us for fools still we take our time and even though we really try to fight we can't resist

Quoth the raven cross your fingers don't look back and count to seven Quoth the raven can you dig it make the cross and swear to heaven Quoth the raven read the signals they're your prompt they give direction Quoth the raven hear the symbols they're the sign its going to start we've come to play - so come and play You've come to play - so come and play we've come to play - so come and play We always play – so come along and play Quoth the raven pleased to meet you feigned surprise does not become you Quoth the raven calling you have you forgotten why we chose you? Quoth the raven doesn't matter if you think its all illusion Quoth the raven the set is better if you play with all your heart we've come to play - so come and play You've come to play - so come and play we've come to play - so come and play We always play – so come along and play we can’t start without you you've got to play your part We can’t start without you and we’re going to start we can’t start without you no one else can play your part we can’t start without you and we’re going to start we can’t play without you but we’re going to play we can’t play without you we’re playing anyway Quoth the raven keep it going once it starts it gains momentum Quoth the raven hear it breathing feel the pulse there's nothing random Quoth the raven keep it simple what's the worst thing that could happen? Quoth the raven if you're wrong then you'll have to play again! we've come to play - so come and play You've come to play - so come and play we've come to play - so come and play We always play – so come along and play

about

This is a distinctly non-linear story that doesn't start at the beginning, because it has no beginning, and doesn't stop at the end because it never ends. Whether it's true is just a detail.
