Cabin Fever 03:48
I could not keep staying kept up In this cabin I was brought up Oh I needed to go Set away from the commotion Left to play with my own notions Oh I needed to go Cut all the ties Release the pine Yes, yes I cried For what was left behind I could not just simply give up Ardor kept a heavy head up Oh I needed to go Cut the ropes with such precision Nothing blocked my line of vision Oh I needed to go

I'm drifting away They couldn't seem to figure out my pay I just hit the road and waved Good day, good day, good day, good day, good day I got carried away In my accord, well who's to say? I just hit the road and waved Good day, good day, good day, good day, good day My good friends yelled my way Our homes always open for you to stay But I just hit the road and waved Good day, good day, good day, good day, good day I'm drifting away I'm drifting away Good day, good day, good day

Morning 03:10
Take off those tattered clothes It's finally morning Sun's out and wants to know To whom it's calling Underneath the melting snow Underneath the gripping cold Wasn't it wonderful To know the best was dawning? I felt the blow You were never alone I felt the cold Down to the bone Take off those tattered clothes The worst is fading And see how much you've grown, for someone's waiting I felt the blow You were never alone I felt the cold Down to the bone

Stencil 03:56
Under a tree Where dreams are meant to be Thinking of what Life is supposed to let eyes more than see All the sky to show a world To make a setting for the earth People follow what nature holds But it takes only a figure to stand alone Oh how it takes some time But how long for a steady tree For it wants to sway But only watches the birds fly away I've asked you Is it our time today I've asked you To help me get away Under a tree Where dreams are meant to be Thinking of what Life is supposed to let eyes more than see I've asked you Is it our time today I've asked you To help me get away

Soft Summer 02:11
Brush stroke of a breeze through me All alone, but I feel completely At ease with nature's company I get me now, today I feel at home when I let my mind wander Green fades the gloom into a soft summer Tile down to make steps fancy Far away, but find complexity Raise ground to fruit's gravity I get me now, today I feel at home when I let my mind wander Green fades the gloom into a soft summer Stroll through my mind I go with you A weightless way to play Glass blown to seem too simple Spun around only to glide by swiftly I work with your climbing strength I get me now, today I feel at home when I let my mind wander Green fades the gloom into a soft summer

All along the streets, the roads If signs could last a moment to spare The faster I went the more they seemed To drift away into thin air Take me there Take me there Take me there Take me there I looked out only to see The fog make its way to me Wiped away only to leave A trace of what I wished to be Take me there Take me there Take me there Take me there All along the streets, the roads If signs could last a moment to spare The faster I went the more they seemed To drift away into thin air Take me there Take me there Take me there Take me there

Frost Bitten 03:06
took some years to figure out the thorns came from their mouths stinging deep as we cried out for why would you devour my love my love my love my love Broken bones, a tender throat A malady of lust exposed Feather skin, a drum within Not enough hold Alone Alone Alone Alone Winter comes again I can warm your hands stung and frost bitten I can warm within

Lilies 03:17
Out across my mind's retreat Lilies white dance in front of me Farther yet they seem to be From the brink, desire's stream And why did you seem so different than the one I used to know I took a plunge today Shrouded by the lily's white I took a breath today Unveiled all my inner strife And why did you seem so different than the one I used to know And why did you seem so different than the one I used to know

Train 03:23
I make my life into a movie screen Watching each and every scene I never make it real to me Riding forward with my back to the world I'm finding a new mystery Each and every day it's child's play some may say you just have to take it by the reins I make my life into a movie screen Watching each and every scene I need to move past those trivial things I look out the window and see it brush me People living a different scene I know that's not for me Riding forward with my back to the world I'm finding a new mystery It's time to leave this luggage behind Time to take the world by my side For me that's what it's got to be I make my life into a movie screen Watching each and every scene Cause that's what's real to me That's what's real to me

November 05:20
Trudging out past life at all its best Set out to forest no one at last I looked up for something new Stars shown back lands I never knew And I looked out for starting new Stars shown down hope so I flew I flew I flew Until the winds blew aside Came tumbling down I knew no other soul live Until you came around You came around Hope looks up when life becomes caught up A single falter leading to an end I looked up for something new A sound came back my heart grew I looked out for a helping hand Out of shadows to patch my broken views I flew I flew Your soft touch Your soft touch took me up took me up

One Thing 04:38
My friends asked me If you had to choose just one thing to bring with you out to sea What would it be I got to thinking So many things have memories While I'm alone they make me feel I'm right at home If I could only bring Just one single thing Oh I would Oh I would bring You with me My friends each gave A book, a tape, a painting kit Little things that'd make me dream Nostalgic dreams If I could only bring Just one single thing Oh I would Oh I would bring You with me
12.
Me and my buddy grew old of what we knew So we kept searching We ran out of things to do, the world stopped spinning new Plans for us to lead Please just don't let go of me Together we found uncertainty Please just don't let go of me So we sing, so we sing La da da da dadadaa La da da da dadadaa All our friends talking tough, telling us what was what But we kept searching So we jumped hand in hand, leaped off our father land Questioning what to believe Please just don't let go of me I can't handle drifting open sea Please just don't let go of me So we sing, so we sing La da da da dadadaa La da da da dadadaa So we jumped hand in hand, leaped off our father land Questioning what to believe La da da da dadadaa La da da da dadadaa
