Step by step I walk away
From paved out roads that led the way
Breathing the sights
Setting aside the wrong and right
Morning, noon and night
Free to roam the cobblestone
Passing the time
Minutes and hours combine
Rhyme and reason redefined
As I roam the cobble stone
Step by step I walk away
From paved out roads that led the way
Stone by stone I build a road
Mapmaker on my own
I know regulation
I know obligation
But now this temptation takes my hand
As I roam the cobble stone
Step by step I walk away
From paved out roads that led the way
Stone by stone I build a road
Mapmaker on my own
I’m getting hungry eyes
They crave uncommon grounds
Hungry eyes lead the hands
The hands lay the stones
Now I am building a road
Mapmaker on my own

Reality

You are strong
You are brave
You are loved
You live life day by day
You are crazy and you’re free
You help us to see the reality
Tears fall
Full of sympathy but lack of understanding
Oh they fall
From the eyes of those who never knew you truly
Oh tears fall
From the helpless souls who always will tell you
You are strong
You are brave
You are loved
You live life day by day
You are crazy and you’re free
You help us to see the reality
Now there’s
Only you who took the biggest chance of all
Only you
Who knew exactly what you wanted and you needed
Only you
Who can lead the way and we will follow you
You are strong
We have faith
You are loved
We’ll be with you everyday
You are crazy and you’re free
I hope that you know what you mean to me

Beside You

She shrugs it off no big deal it’s happened before
We ask are you sure
But she says she’s not bothered anymore
We see your face
We see you laughing to try to hold the tears in
We see your face
But we see right through
Sometimes we all have our secrets
That we want to keep inside
But did you really think we’d miss this
You can still hide just know that we’re beside you
What should we do what can we do
What do we say
There’s fire in your eyes
Oh don’t just lead us away
Let us know
We’re standing here waiting to go but holding back
Just let us know
To stay or to go
Sometimes we all have our secrets
That we want to keep inside
But did you really think we’d miss this
You can still hide just know that we’re beside you
We’ll help you feel
We’ll help you stay
Stay whole for one more day
You know you don’t have to crawl
Cause if you start to fall you’ll hear us say
Sometimes we all have our secrets
That we want to keep inside
But did you really think we’d miss this
You can still hide just know that we’re beside you

Meet Your Eyes
04:24

When I was young I would dream
About you
Maybe my hopes were extreme
But still my hunger grew
And all I wanted was the one who’d kiss me goodnight
Or if it happened to work maybe love at first sight
When I was young I was scared
To find you
Ironic but I didn’t care
I still had learning to do
And now as the happiness knocks at my door
I’m finally ready to see what’s in store
In my eyes look to find
How they change when they meet
Your stare
How they smile
How they soften
When they meet your eyes
Well I am still young and I dream
About you
But now I’m not scared I am free
Free from the lack of you and me
It seemed like I waited and waited for so long
But now I am sure I am where I belong
In my eyes look to find
How they change when they meet
Your stare
How they smile
How they soften
When they meet your eyes
And now as the happiness knocks at my door
I’m finally ready to see what’s in store
In my eyes look to find
How they change when they meet
Your stare
How they smile
How they soften
When they meet your eyes

Strings of Letters
03:32
|
|||
|
Mind racing
Wheels churning
Clock ticking
Minutes go by
Words go down
So easy
Prince charming
Seems good to me
But words are only strings of letters
And even though I might know how to put them together
It really doesn’t mean that much
Cause I lack the concept of follow through
Moons up
The light is on
Illogical plans oh
Don’t seem so wrong
In my corner in my chair
Oh in my head in my bed
The thoughts are fair
But words are only strings of letters
And even though I might know how to put them together
It really doesn’t mean that much
Cause I lack the concept of follow through
Sleep doesn’t come natureally but that’s just me
Instead the thoughts they come racing madly
Oh silence has never been this loud before
I could do so much more
But then the sun rises
But words are only strings of letters
And even though I might know how to put them together
It really doesn’t mean that much
Cause I lack the concept of follow through
Words go down
So easy
Strings of letters
Seems good to me

Butterfly
05:14
|

|
That empty seat
That old lonely bed
That deafening silence
Pounding in my head
That resting pencil that’s yearning for life
Those teary eyes
That painful sigh
This disbelief is real
But we all know that she still feels
Cause she is a butterfly set free
Let her wings spread wide
How it was meant to be
Let her live in a world
Among her fantasies
Let her keep alive those hungry eyes and
Glide on through the sky
A poets words never rang so true
Turning the light on brings faith restored to new
Gone but not lost is beauty defined
Not left behind, just floating on with time
Chorus
This disbelief is real
But we all know that she still feels
Cause she is a butterfly set free
Let her wings spread wide
How it was meant to be
Let her live in a world
Among her fantasies
Let her keep alive those hungry eyes and
Glide on through the sky

The Distance Grows
04:16
|

|
The distance grows between
What I feel and what I say
The distance grows between my heart
And my brain
The distance grows between my daydreams
And reality
My heart is shouting go, go, go
Then I’m fighting no, no, no, no, no
My gut is saying show
Show it all but
Then I fall
Back to the shadows
The distance grows between
What you feel and what you say
The distance grows between your heart
And your brain
You can see quite a similarity
Between you and me
My heart is shouting go, go, go
Then I’m fighting no, no, no, no, no
My gut is saying show
Show it all but
Then I fall
Back to the shadows
We’re in shallow water and managing just fine
There’s no sense of danger here
The thought of going deeper
Is brewing in my mind but then stops
With the thought of drowning
It just brings too much fear
My heart is shouting go, go, go
Then I’m fighting no, no, no, no, no
My gut is saying show
Show it all but
Then I fall
Back to the shadows

The World To Me
03:36
|

|
It’s funny how some things are always the same
For so long
I never knew anything ever would change
But I was wrong
Cause now I see you so different from before
And with this new you I love you even more
And I just wanna let you know that you mean the world to me
And I don’t wanna see you go
I wish that time could slow
So you could stay here with me
I feel like I’ve thrown all these years down the drain
What a waste
Just now I’ve found out it was all insane
Slow down the pace
Cause now I know you so better than before
And now I want to know you even more
And I just wanna let you know that you mean the world to me
And I don’t wanna see you go
I wish that time could slow
So you could stay here with me
I wish I knew this all then
But time has slipped through
My fingers
Oh once again
And I just wanna let you know that you mean the world to me
And I don’t wanna see you go
I wish that time could slow
So you could stay here with me

Grey
04:49

Leaves change
Green fades to red and yellow
Then they fall
As if they never changed color at all
Snow floats down
White crystal flakes are all around
Then the diamonds melt away
Moving on it’s a new day
Who knew life would fly by
Who knew time knows how to lie
It’s got a mind of its own
It won’t stop if you can’t hold on
All the colors of my life turn to gray
Picture frame
Lookin through the shiny glass again
My favorite phrase
Is I remember the old days
Who knew life would fly by
Who knew time knows how to lie
It’s got a mind of its own
It won’t stop if you can’t hold on
All the colors of my life turn to gray
Minutes they turn into years
Taken for granted time now turns to fear
The future turns ancient with constant speed so
Now my wish is eternity
Who knew life would fly by
Who knew time knows how to lie
It’s got a mind of its own
It won’t stop if you can’t hold on
All the colors of my life turn to gray

Tides
04:04
|

|
Well I always heard those words they said
Telling me all that was true
But I managed to have them fly right through my ears
Use your face to deny what I knew
Well I went through all the rotations
With smile filled cheery-eyed turns
And now I see truth in all its simplicity
But still I’m controlled by my lies
Cause I change
Like the tides of an ocean
In and out in my fickle ways
Sometimes I make salt fill my wounds
Other times I get a sweet taste of what’s new
But these days
I just float on with the waves
The stars and the moon
Bring black and white reality to me I find it spelled out so clear
And in my dreams life without you is revealed
But still I am crippled by fear
Cause I change
Like the tides of an ocean
In and out in my fickle ways
Sometimes I make salt fill my wounds
Other times I get a sweet taste of what’s new
But these days
I just float on with the waves
My hunger for happiness
Tempts me to stay
Here you can find me
Locked away with the image of you
Cause who wants to be lonely
Who knows if I want to escape
Cause I change
Like the tides of an ocean
In and out in my fickle ways
Sometimes I make salt fill my wounds
Other times I get a sweet taste of what’s new
But these days
I just float on with the waves
