How long are you gonna stare at the moon, wishing your life away again? I saw your face from across the room, a pain that invited me in I figure by now we’ve got nothing to lose but I cannot sit back and let us meet our end I saw the crash not a moment too soon, all along we’ve been on course but I still love you (We’ve been waiting so long that we can’t find our way again) I still love you (We’ve been waiting so long that we can’t find our way back home) Cover my eyes, don’t let me see this unstoppable force that’s in front of me Help me understand, coz God knows this loneliness makes me feel like another man Constant background checks on your life, keep second-guessing your own resolve Always feel like I’m in disguise, slipping through cracks of my own design Now I feel like the end has begun, plastic soldiers keeping marching on Don’t try to catch up with your life, it will always become you but Cover my eyes, don’t let me see, keep blocking it out to feel alive Cover my eyes, cover my eyes Suddenly I’m way off course But I still love you (We’ve been waiting so long that we can’t find our way again) I still love you (We’ve been waiting so long that we can’t find our way back home)

Snake Side 04:40
Coming forward with the keys to life Rolling by and never taking stride Feel the space around you spreading out and leaving room for growing old Live each day as though you see the end Wear your scars like a familiar friend Feeling doubt within but hopefulness at living through another life Going snake side will make all the ones you love Fall by the wayside, and they’ll never make it And only take you far away to start your life again Coming forward with the keys to life Rolling by and never taking stride To lead you need to live by what you do not how you talk about it Going snake side will make all the ones you love Fall by the wayside, and while they’ll never make it The ocean takes you far away to start your life again Say goodbye to all your friends Until we meet again someday Find your own truth Hold it close Then run Run away until we meet again someday

Hey, play that song Light another fire and sing along Hey, get it wrong (how did you know?) Another rope of lies to hang me from Lost in a lie Just believe I’m somebody else and love me tonight

Sand Mirrors 05:52
Lost and alone Across the unknown Lost in a golden sea A broken caravan, eye of the kaleidoscope A ghost-led carnival, real and beautiful Trawl the soft sand, tumbling acrobats Falling fast Picking up puffs of dust Flip and twist across the crest of the dunes As their silhouettes dance with the moon The ringmaster snaps the reins and sings Washed in the desert wind A broken caravan, eye of the kaleidoscope To never see again, still beneath the fallen shade The years are slowly washed away Forever sleeping Please don’t take this all away Stay with me here, safe from the morning To never see again, still beneath the fallen shade The years are slowly washed away Forever sleeping Stay with me here Safe from the morning Stay with me…
