Sweeter Paradigm
03:35

Why do you run away, blood thick with worry
Some secret hiding place in your mind
To a house on a haunted hill, ghost in the garden
They sing of their sorrow all through the night
But all it takes is time
To find your way up in to a sweeter paradigm
Where you learn as you go along
Simple as a song
Sometimes it’s all you have, when no one can find you
Cold comfort for the weight of your desire
To the bottom of a wishing well, a hope notwithstanding
Hard-pressed to find a light in the storm
But all it takes is time
To find your way up in to a sweeter paradigm
Where you learn as you go along
Simple as a song

Sister, sister, I am with you
Even in your darkest hour
Brother knows you, in all you’ve been through
Sunflower days never fade
So hold your head up high
Though the world may pass you by
Take care of the light that shines inside
Home of your home, love of your love
All you need to carry on
It’s a peaceful daydream, it finds you standing
On solid ground
So hold your head up high
Though the world may pass you by
Take care of the light that shines inside

I want to know where you go when you hide away
I want to know where you go when you hide away
Well I’ll tell you what I do when there’s no hope to be found
Some friends of mine help me get by
Give me weed and wine and time
I will surely be just fine
Give me weed and wine and time
Soon enough I’ll change my mind
I want to know how it feels when you’ve got it all
I want to know how it feels when you’ve got it all
Do you get blue trying to choose between this life and the next?
Well some friends of mine can help you get by
Give me weed and wine and time
I will surely be just fine
Give me weed and wine and time
Pretty soon I’ll change my mind
I want to know where you go when you hide away
I want to know where you go when you hide away
When you hide away

Isolation makes you sick
Change the station to get your fix
Feet on the ground, head out of town
Maybe we could be something better
We could be something better
Faith in nothing, never forget
Taste of heaven, free or spent
Break my fever, make me sweat
Nowhere to hide, all of my pride
But maybe we could be something better
We could find out together, maybe
Maybe we could be something better
We could find out together, maybe
Maybe we could be something better
We could find out together, maybe

Any Way The Wind Blows
03:22

Today is not real, it’s only a fantasy
A symptom of a flawed design
Say it again, forever my company
Forged in the yellow sands of time
Any way the wind blows I will be faithful
Any way the stars align
Nothing in the world could be so hurtful
To make me leave my love behind
Cold-hearted days, far from the fairy tale
Feeble as a cowards mind
Evil is the light that shines through the corridor
Leading us away from the sacred night
Any way the wind blows I will be faithful
Any way the stars align
Nothing in the world could be so hurtful
To make me leave my love behind
Old lies don’t ever lose their shine
Long as you hold them tight
Your truth only belongs to you
As long as you want it to
Any way the wind blows I will be faithful
Any way the stars align
Nothing in the world could be so hurtful
To make me leave my love behind

Broad Daylight

|

|
You don’t have to go there again and again
I heard you the first time
And it’s never really far from my mind
Your words are poison to my mind
They rob me blind in broad daylight
And if you knew the answer
You wouldn't have to lie all the time
Like all true deceivers, still you deny
Your words are poison to my mind
They rob me blind in broad daylight

Warships

Terrible timing, terrible luck
Favorite excuses for being stuck
Truth is much older, wiser and gray
You’ve got to be listening
Heaven is open, hell is amused
By every good fortune that I’ve abused
A face in the crowd, a cog in a wheel
Ashamed in silence
On every sunken warship
A story left untold
Braver men than I were bought and sold
Beautiful mother, fortunate child
Safe from the waters running wild
If I could lose my faith in the void
I wouldn’t be here now
Far from the letters written in stone
Far from a love I would call my own
Time and again I hear through the noise
A chance to find out
On every sunken warship
A story left untold
Braver men than I were bought and sold

No Telling
03:21
|

No telling what I do just to get through to my love
No telling what I say to keep my love from shame
Hear the ringing of the mission bell
Hear the stories that we like to tell
Unnatural faith will serve you well
I read between the lines to get a glimpse of my love
Down underneath my skin, that’s where my love begins
In the broken hearted work of art
In the light that kills away the dark
Unnatural faith is never far from where you are
See the hero meet his great demise
In the wreckage that he leaves behind
There’s a certainty you can’t deny
No telling what I find when I get through to my love
No telling what I’ll be when I set my love free
Hear the ringing of the mission bell
Hear the stories that we like to tell
Unnatural faith will serve you well
Gonna serve you well

Union of Strangers

Dry your eyes, dear, and let them see you smile
Take a deep breath and walk it on down the aisle
This day may not be the way you’ve always dreamed
But you are doing the right thing
Take his hand, love, and look him in the eyes
He’s the man you will learn to love in time
Just say the words and wear his pretty ring
Don’t worry your secret’s safe with me
Mama was a good girl and daddy was a righteous soul
That’s how the story will be told
Sweet little baby on the way
Sweet little baby on the way
God bless this union of strangers
God bless this union of strangers
Keep your money, son, you’re gonna need it now
You tied the knot with the prettiest girl around
Some say that you’re the envy of every man in town
To get a girl like that to settle down
Mama was a good girl and daddy was a righteous soul
That’s how the story will be told
Sweet little baby on the way
Sweet little baby on the way
God bless this union of strangers
God bless this union of strangers

Moving pictures on a screen
You came here with a dream
Now it’s only in my head, so sad
All your friends have made amends
But we just fog up the lens
At least there’s nothing left unsaid, so sad
Truth so evil, fills your cup full
Til it breaks your back
If I could give time, I’d give you all of mine
Let them bleed me dry
But it’s only in my head
At least there’s nothing left unsaid
So sad, so sad, so sad

Blue

Better left alone
Than pushed in a corner with nowhere to go
Egomaniacal head in the clouds
Suddenly tumbling back to the ground
Bless my soul
Not so smart after all
I thought it’d be easier to let you know
Save you the trouble of aiming too low
No better enemy than right here inside of me
Can’t get over himself
Best advice, don’t think twice
Cut yourself loose
And don’t feel blue
There’s billions of beautiful colors for you to choose
