I was crying out
I’m afraid to be alone
But there was no one around
To hear me weep and moan
Someone to fill this hole
Something to fill this hole
Someone to fill this hole
Inside of me
They say an accident draws a crowd
Everyone stops to see
Me I’m not that proud
No I won’t cause a scene
Someone to fill this hole
Something to fill this hole
Someone to fill this hole
Inside of me
But what I didn’t realize
Loneliness is a friend
It makes you look inside
That is where you must begin
Someone to fill this hole
Something to fill this hole
I need someone to fill this hole
Inside of me
No one can fill this hole
Nobody has control
No one can make me whole
I’ve just got to be

One Soul
04:27
|
|||
|
You've got to live
Like Death is standing over your left shoulder
You've got to give
Like you know you'll never get a day older
Every second but the present one
Is just a figment of your imagination
Count the ones that you'll forget
Weighed against the ones that haven't happened yet
In the balance there you may find
The motivation to stop wasting your time
When you realize
One Life is all that you get
You've got to dance
Somebody said dance like no one's looking
Better take your chance
You never know what the world is cooking
But remember as you make your way
You must leave this world as surely as you came
So take good care of it and pass it on
To the countless children who are waiting in the dawn
But don't forget that you are one of a kind
And may the seventh generation never be far from your mind
When you realize
One World is all that we get
You've got a seed
You've got a seed that you gotta sew
Don't you see?
It’s a secret that’s written down at the bottom of your Soul
It's a gift that only you can give
The very purpose and the reason that you live
If you deny it then we all lose out
We'll never know what we've gone without
But let me tell you what the world needs now
Is for every one alive to realize
One Soul one World one Life that's all that you get
It's all that you get (One Life one Soul one Planet)
It's all that you get (Whatever you do don't you take it for granted)
It's all that you get (So don't spend too long looking back)
It's all that you get (Don't dwell on the little things that you lack)

Nothing Makes You Feel
04:41
|
|||
|
I reach for you
But you slap my hand away
I regroup
Come back to you and say
I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind
Just hit me one more time
It's a passion play
We're perfect in our parts
My flesh is flayed
And a fountain flows from my heart
It's my blood it's my blood it's my blood
Pouring out for love
Sometimes I wonder what's the use
Find myself here composing these lonesome blues
Then I remember that you're my muse
And nothing makes me feel like being refused
The earth it quakes
Beneath a moonlit sky
On the city street
When I see you passing by
You're so fine you're so fine you're so fine
But you will never be mine
Sometimes I wonder what's the use
Find myself here composing these lonesome blues
Then I remember that you're my muse
And nothing makes me feel like being refused
Fine fine fine
So fine so fine so fine
You’re so fine you’re so fine you’re so fine
But you knew you could never be mine
Fine fine fine
I won't waste my time
You’re so fine you’re so fine you’re so fine
But you knew you could never be mine
Sometimes I wonder what's the use
Sit here composing lonesome blues
That's when I remember you're my muse
'cause nothing makes you feel like being refused

Someone's Summer Home
05:03
|
|||
|
Squatting in someone's summer home a big place on the beach
Every night the summer sun makes love to the sea
I go out and walk the dunes at dusk with my bare feet in the sand
Hoping to see a star in flight I wish but I don't command
I wish but I don't command
I fear someone will come here and I'll have no place to hide
Or they'll shutter the windows and lock the doors
And I'll be stuck inside
This isn't my home but I'm used to it here
It ain't where I'm from it's just a place I've stayed
I don't want to go but I've got to get out of here
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed
I make do without electricity every shower I take is cold
No credit for serendipity no receipt for the time that I've stold
Now and again there's a knock at the door and I haunt the place like a ghost
Could it be the one that this place is for will I finally meet my host
Will I finally meet my host
I fear that they will come here and I'll have no place to hide
Or they'll shutter the windows and lock the doors
And I'll be stuck inside
This isn't my home but I'm comfortable here
It ain't where I'm from it's just a place I've stayed
I don't want to go but I've got to get out of here
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed
This isn't my home but I'm comfortable here
It ain't where I'm from it's just a place I've stayed
I don't want to go but I've got to get out of here
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed
Squatting in someone's summer home a big place on the beach
Every night the summer sun makes love to the sea

Raise Your Voice
03:25
|
|||
|
Well you built yourself a cage and threw away the key
I’ve been searching for it darlin’ down on my hands and knees
If I find it, do you even want to come out of your cell
Now it’s been so many years since you put yourself away
You’ve forgotten what it’s like not to have to live that way
The whole world is waiting, to bless the day that you come out of your shell
Raise your voice, rattle them bars
You don’t have to be your own prison guard
It’s not for me to say what these things mean to me
It’s clear there’s something in the dark that only you can see
But I know there’s magic in the story you’re dieing to tell
If you can ease the part inside your hear that rings that warning bell
Raise your voice, rattle them bars
You don’t have to be your own prison guard
The first thing every morning, the last thing every night
I say prayer for every soul that’s hidden from the light
Who by their choosing, won’t let love in to break the spell
Raise your voice, rattle them bars
You don’t have to be your own prison guard
Find your rage, rattle that cage
All you got to lose is another day

What Do You Mean
04:24
|

|
What do you reach for
What do you deserve
Who do you speak for
Who do you serve
What will you pass on
What will you retain
How are you turned on
How do you refrain
What do you mean
What are you about
Will it make any difference
When the light goes out
What do you believe
What do you doubt
Will it make any difference
When the light goes out
When do you feel love
When don't you fear
What is the price of
Gettin' out of here
Who has the answers
Who needs to know
Who thinks the question
Is the star of the show
What do you mean
What are you about
Will it make any difference
When the light goes out
What do you believe
What do you doubt
Will it make any difference
When the light goes out
What do you dream of
What brings you tears
What can you be free of
That keeps you from seeing clear
What do you mean
What are you about
Will you have made any difference
When your light goes out

You don't really see me
Even though I'm glowing
You don't know how to free me
But none the less I'm going
And I won't look back
And my heart won't crack
Just maybe someday you will see
The heart you could have had in me
You don't really mean it
You put on a good show
But I've already seen it
And you think I won't go
But I won't look back
And my heart won't crack
Just maybe someday you will see
The heart you could have had in me
You can't judge a book by it's cover
But you can judge a heart by the ways of a lover
So I try to say goodbye
But you just look away
The pain that's in your eyes
Tells more than words can say
So don't look back
Don't let your face crack
Baby someday you will see
The heart you could have had in me

Soul Afire
03:32
|
|||
|
I’ve been losing time
The years they pass me by
It weighs on my mind
The way we slowly die
Every single day
Must be lived like a prayer
Don’t matter what you say
It’s what you do that gets you there
I’m tired of waking up in mid-dream
Looking ‘round and not liking what I see
My heart is an engine coming ahead full steam
My soul is a fire burning up inside of me
I’m freaking out
But it feels pretty good
I’m breaking doubt
Like I always knew I should
I ain’t the same
But I’m who I’ve always been
If not myself
Who the hell am I really then
I’m tired of waking up in mid-dream
Looking ‘round and not liking what I see
My heart is an engine coming ahead full steam
My soul is a fire burning up inside of me
Nobody knows why it starts or how it ends
But when you die a pile of money won’t buy you friends
You only get one ride make as much love as you can
Hold it deep inside it's the closest thing to the master plan
If you're tired of waking up in mid-dream
Look around be the change you want to see
The heart is an engine coming ahead full steam
The soul is a fire burning ‘til it sets you free

Love Burn
03:34
|
|||
|
It will burn you down
It will burn you down
Love will burn you down
It will burn you down
Ain't no doubt about it
It's a fire and we are fuel
I won't complain about it
Let desire make me a fool
As long as love will burn me to the ground
Let it burn me down
Let it burn me down
I know I've been in love before
Once or twice and maybe more
But there ain't no use in keeping score
It's not a game the way love will burn you down
It will burn you down
It will burn you down
Holy ashes on the ground
Love will burn you down
Like Romeo and Juliet
Taught the Montagues and the Capulets
Even war can't stop love
When it burns you down
It will burn you down
It will burn you down
Holy ashes on the ground
Love will burn you down
And like the moth beside a candle flame
Knows that he must burn to be the flame
And he goes to it
And he dies without a sound
He lets it burn him down
He lets it burn him down
Holy ashes on the ground
Love will burn you down
It will burn you...
Love will burn you down

Take Deep Breaths
04:50

She met me at the split road
Stood by to see things went as planned
What seems cruel can be grace though
Sometimes the hard way is the way it's got to be
She met me at the split road
I met her at the split road
Back broken she held me in her hands
I never saw her face though
I only heard her say
Over and over to me
Take deep breaths
Try not to move
Everything is gonna be ok
We parted at the split road
Fate is the bridge between the present and the past
It don't matter which way you go
Time moves in circles
It alone decides what will be
Take deep breaths
Try not to move
Everything is gonna be ok
I couldn't believe
Until I guessed her name
The blade the scourge and the flame
She chose me
I didn't have a word to say
You know it ain't easy
When your guardian angel is Hekate
Take deep breaths
Try not to move
Everything is gonna be ok

Down There Somewhere
03:58
|

|
Well I know it's down there somewhere
This thing I'm supposed to find
I know it's down there somewhere
waiting for me
I think that I will know it
When I hold it in my hands
But it's hidden in the darkness
Down in the deep
I don't know what it is
But I can feel it in my bones
I don't know what it is
But I've got to be leaving home
If I don't come back with that prize
I will surely die
If I do then I may live for eternity
There's a piece that's down there somewhere
But I don't know what it is
I gotta bring it back
For the whole damned world to see
I think that I will know it
When it steals my heart and then
I no longer feel
So incomplete
I don't know what it is
But I can feel it in my bones
I don't know what it is
But I've got to be leaving home
If I don't come back with that prize
I will surely die
If I do then I may live for eternity
Is it a razor's edge
Is it a key
Is it the sacred fire
Is it me
I know it's me
I don't know what it is
But I can feel it in my bones
I don't know what it is
But I've got to be leaving home
If I don't come back with that prize
I will surely die
If I do then I may live for eternity
I am the razor's edge
I am the key
I am the sacred fire
I'm looking for me
I know it's me

An Offering
04:26
|
|||
|
I've been grabbing at straws
And I can't get a grip
Every time I reach out
The further I slip
I've got something inside
I need the world to know
Got to tear down these walls
Let my glory show
It's time I spin this straw into gold
Way deep underground
Where there's nothing but dark
The weight of the earth
Practices an art
It's a torturous form
Using pressure and heat
Bury me alive
If it will make me complete
That's how you make a diamond out of coal
I make my self an offering
I volunteer my suffering
Just let my life here mean something
I won't ask for anything else in return
When the death angel comes
Will you walk hand in hand
Or will you kick and scream
And be torn from this land
There is nothing to fear
In the eye of the storm
But the only way out
Is to be transformed
You must learn the secrets of your soul
Make yourself an offering
Risk it all or gain nothing
If you want your life to mean something
You must ask for nothing else in return
It's ok if you feel alone
Let the emptiness become your home
In the void something new may come
For which you die lest you die from
And may you learn the secrets of your soul
And may you learn the secrets of your soul

Been There Before
03:55

I know you , I know where you are
Believe me, I’ve been there before
I feel you, I’ve touched your scars
I can’t heal you, but I can see how special you are
Take my hand we’ll tip-toe through the dark
Dance along the razor’s edge, cut the night apart
We stepped in the broken glass of your heart
Gather every grain and melt it down, make it into Art
I know you, I know where you are
I could show you, but you must see it in yourself
Ain’t no reason, to spend life upon a shelf
You’ve got a glory, that’s buried deep down inside
The world is in morning for the loss of what you hide
Won’t you take my hand and tip-toe through the dark
Dance along the razor’s edge, cut the night apart
We stepped in the broken glass of your heart
Gather every grain and melt it down, make it into Art
I know you, I know where you are
