“Unsounded”
Old will go bring the new back to life eyes of blue
Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Look as far as you can see to dream
See the dream
Do you know the secrets in the stars
Will they tell you they know who you are
Creator of life what is your name
No one knows, to whom do we belong
Still alive words in green
From a land beneath the sea
All that is will always be
Has always been but never seen
Look as far as you can dream to see
Buried for thousands of years
Who, when, and why were they here
Hidden from all ears and eyes
Ancient wars in the sky
Backwards fall while asleep
Soul is itself to keep
Where it goes and where it’s been
Has no beginning or end

“Favorite Star”
Star in the sky, the very first one
I saw today as the blue turned black
Travel at night an ocean of moonlight
Shows the world as the way it should be seen
The silver snow blows in the cold wind
And whispers a name that I have never heard
Keep moving on, sleep in the daytime
It’s better to rest when the light keeps you warm
Where did you go
Smoke in the air feels like some magic
That I once knew from so long ago
Drums race the heart songs call the spirit
I don’t know their names but their presence is here
Ring in the sky draws all directions
A wanderer must stop to heal his soul
Keep moving on sleep in the daytime
Its better to rest when the light keeps you warm
Where did you go my little light shining down to guide me
I’ll just move on there’s a fire ahead that calls me
My favorite star
Dawn on the rise another morning
So many days come and go when you’re still
Don’t lose your heart, the breeze will freeze it
And you will forever be a gazing ghost
Where did you go my little light shining down to guide me
I’ll just move on there’s a fire ahead that calls me
My favorite star

“A Perfect Picture”
At the window on the other side of rain
Drawing faces, caught a splinter from the pane
It’s the only one in this room that I never leave
Do you remember a time that was love and loss
Stirring embers, all that’s left in the hearth
This is all that we have left to keep us warm tonight
The north wind blows and brings the snow, what will we do then
The trail is covered it’s the only path away from here
If the drops fall on the roof much harder
We will see no sleep at all tonight
There’s a doorway locked for so long I forgot
Whats on the other side and the key cannot be found
I know it’s somewhere but there’s just no need to hurry not today
Through the keyhole there’s a light that’s shining in like a prism
Everyday at 4om there’s a rainbow on the wall for a short time
Then it’s back, back to dark
The flowers on the table are suspended in still life
We should have left them in the garden where they wished to die
Not a glance has fell upon them, waterless and stranded
They’ll be just fine, they’ll be alright
A perfect picture
You’re the one that was forgotten you don’t remember
The last time you found the light
Trapped behind a mask til there’s nothing left
A perfect picture
That no one will ever see try to forget her
She has not and will never be
Trapped behind a mask til there’s nothing left

“Ghost Town Blues”
Can’t see a thing, all clouds today
The planets are so far apart
Saw a stranger upon every face
Even on those that were known
Sounding good but I just can’t stay
Watch yourself the stairs are iced
We went around in circles I recognize that stone
Saw it last time, certain now, the road we’re on is wrong
There were not any others moving other way
Turn around, shake the ground, this is a new day
Look as far ahead as you can see
The law is out, they’re hot tonight
Took a side street dodge to Ghost Town Blues
Lost myself and made it home
Just walk around the broken down don’t touch the poison on their hands
You’d better turn around the way you’re going runs into a wall
Then all the crowd applauded and walked me to my bed
Closed the lid and buried me though I was not dead
You were not alone down there
That’s enough of this Im soon to break
Just lay down and sleep it off
Wonder if I am the only one
Is that another on the hill
Never catch you but I’m not alone
That is all I need to know
I have to fly don’t say goodbye for we will talk another day
Don’t fly to high eyes on the ground I guess we’re just a pair of strange, strange birds

“Strangelet”
A sudden stop, dark in the light
From this distance I can feel your anti-blue heart
A chance of fate is this the end
Or where new unknown life begins
I’m scared to find out
Stay away
Never touch, Never seen
Up and down would not agree
Such a strange matter
The we that I know would be gone
Eternity is not that long unless you’re alone
Stay away, Stay away
Don’t come any closer
Stay away, stay away
I would love you too much
Better loved and lost than never loved at all
Does not apply to this time, both are sure to fall
I feel you getting nearer both know this is the wrong way
Here comes the change, the rearrange
For the sake of all just go away
Inevitable you and I self-destruct bring down the sky sooner or later
Push the button flip the switch
Who would have known the greatest wish would
Take unknown form
Stay away stay away don’t come any closer
Stay away stay away I would love you too much
