Crimson Cliffs
03:54
|
|||
|
We sailed along the coast
Trapped hunting a ghost
The vain search it never ends
Unless we cross that final bend
The Crimson Cliffs are calling us
The masts silhouette in the sun
Life seems to end before it's begun
Frozen hearts, their ticking is done
The sleds are stuck in ice
We've begun to pay the price
Phantom dreams with no light
Miles span, only white
The Crimson Cliffs are calling us
The masts silhouette in the sun
Life seems to end before it's begun
Frozen hearts, their ticking is done
Abandon ship, leave the Terror
Let's find somewhere fairer
Maybe we'll reach Cape York
Frozen souls suspended in time

Never Too Far
02:42
|

Things you say will change your way
Like dark today, the way you are
From day to day your lies will play
Till you’re away but never too far
Do you feel more like going on
When I say I wasn’t wrong to chose you
Does it ease your heart to say
That tomorrow brings another way to lose you
In my wandering sense of time
I’ll try to see enough to rhyme your changing line
In my slipping sort of step
I’ll try to do much better yet
With what I get
Do you feel more like going on
When I say I wasn’t wrong to chose you
Does it ease your heart to say
That tomorrow brings another way to lose you
Things you say will change your way
Like dark today, the way you are
From day to day your lies will play
Till you’re away but never too far

Laughing Water
03:16
|

|
Laughing water, flowing through my soul
Never leaves me whole
Laughing water, drowning out my dreams
Cracked mind in streams
Laughing water
Sulking fire, destroying all in sight
Trying to stop daylight
Sulking fire, frowning in my eyes
Always hear its cries
Sulking fire
Laughing water
Sulking fire
Both of which I admire

Octopus Eyes

Octopus Eyes jellyfish skies under water
Dolphin swims free deep in the sea, the ocean's daughter
The ocean sighs hello goodbye
The ocean sighs hello
The ocean sighs hello goodbye
The ocean sighs hello goodbye
Octopus eyes small fish arise in the coral keep
Tides rise in fall Poseidon's call sends them to sleep
The ocean sighs hello goodbye
The ocean sighs hello
The ocean sighs hello goodbye
The ocean sighs hello goodbye
Octopus eyes whales make their cries down in the dark
The old and the wise await their demise and an eel makes a spark
The ocean sighs hello goodbye
The ocean sighs hello
The ocean sighs hello goodbye
The ocean sighs hello goodbye

Golden One
03:03
|
|||
|
Go the days before they end
I am here alone again
A golden stone left to lie
Come the nights they are so cold
You have gone away again
A golden stone left to cry
So run, run away
From the safety of my arms
Hide, hide away
When you might get hurt
Go the days you loved me
Now I am not free
A golden stone left to search
Roll the tears down my mind
You have gone and left me
A golden stone love left to die
So run, run away
From the safety of my arms
Hide, hide away
When you might get hurt

Live This Day
02:26

She was my fate
He was my friend
She was my dream
Live this day forever
We didn't know
This was the last time
Live this day forever
Hear the time go by

Blue Generation
03:48
|
|||
|
Stoned yet nothing to sacrifice
Shouting drowns the void
Watch the madman eat
Drops roses round his feet
Flowers wither away
Doors close all around
Blue Generation
Smiles eat the red off the wall
Leaving everything bare
Tears flow making me feel so small
Grieving my gain of love
Watch the madman eat
Drops roses round his feet
Flowers wither away
Doors close all around
Blue Generation

Out of My Mind
02:05
|
|||
|
Well love it's been such a swell time
rocking through the ages so divine
Where are we going? Going
Well babe I've seen the stars fall
Right out of my mind
Oh so who's there?
No one, No ones there
I'm out of my mind
It's so divine, out of my mind
so divine, out of my mind

New Dawn
03:21
|
|||
|
The sun cries delight when it sleeps
The rainbows shoot from the back of my mind
I've been waiting so long for this new dawn
Taking the time to love one another feels so right
For this world is cold and dark, bring me some light
The time the mask came off, everyone feels so blind
Time creeps away it runs our lives
Puffing the cigarette, we're bringing the end
I've been waiting so long it's feeding my mind
Taking the time to love one another feels so right
For this world is cold and dark, bring me some light
The time the mask came off, everyone feels so blind
Using the rhymes to crack a smile now
For this love is bright and warm feel it now
I'm glad the mask came off, I can see everyone
Everyone

Skip's Axe

Riding a motorcycle to Nashville
Tasting the smoke from the sky
Listen, the face in the void
Listen, seeing is believing
Listen
The shadows of silence scream
A maiden flowering so obscene
The shivering voices of ghosts
Dance around my jaded head
Listen, the face in the void
Listen, seeing is believing
Listen

Green Paradise
03:34
|
|||
|
The seeds of time
Are lost under you
Darken light
Shines through and through
Green Paradise
Transfixes my life
Yellow flashing lights
Crystalline eyes so bright
The mirror in the sky
Never sees itself
My cosmic death awakens
the spirits and ills
Green Paradise
Transfixes my life
Yellow flashing lights
Crystalline eyes so bright

Pictures I Hear
03:13
|
|||
|
The rainbow ocean crashes through me
A hurricane of sound erupts in the sky
Can this world take me any higher?
The hypnotic sound whispers goodbye
Pictures I Hear
Every hour they reappear
The vibrant painting knows all
Forever dancing on the wall
Green haired lady singing to no one
X-ray visions shimmer in my ears
Night becomes day in a blink
Deceptive smiles consume the sphere
Pictures I Hear
Every hour they reappear
The vibrant painting knows all
Forever dancing on the wall
Traffic lights start the kaleidoscope
Primal laughter sounds reverberate
Arcane sounds reaching out to me
Love sublime kept in ego's create
Pictures I Hear
