I can see the future before it comes All that's left of love is gentle hum Leaves and flower petals left to decompose Babe, the things I've told you, no one else can know Everywhere I look there's a mirror or a mountain Should I stray too soon, could you get her on the phone? If she's already gone, don't let me crawl back in my cave I can see your memories before they form Why you feeling down, feeling so forlorn? Now that it's all over, where will I go? I could sleep for years and never know, never know Everywhere I look there's a mirror or a mountain Should I stray too soon, could you get her on the phone? If she's already gone, don't let me crawl back in my cave

Hermit Heart 03:53
So far away from home; all that I've ever known Stuck there like cobblestones; inside they've all flown They wouldn't sit right with me, still try despite me But they're nothing like me, no, they never try to see All of this magic, these moments are passing They'll never outlast me; which one will the last be? I don't sleep, I only dream; lost my thoughts in the stream Drifting on sunbeams, whispers remind me To always, always, always, always know Where your heart is before you go And don't let it go, baby, don't let it go So close to far away, all what words long to say Could it be here to stay, what led me astray? Led me to a quiet place, then left without a trace Stole the smile from my face, her hair flowed down with grace All that I can recall, they seem to see it all From behind those walls, their voices are so small But I'm one among them, our songs we've all sung them Lost in the dark, we're gems, lost in your problems Always, always, always, always know Where your heart is before you go And don't let it go, baby, don't let it go

There's noise on the street Can't remember a day that stood still Stuck on endless repeat Stumbling like they always will Here in my lonely house on the hill Come on in Come follow me And I'll show you how life feels When you're still dreaming There are windows and walls And an alley where the sun goes through Shadows are tall And the sky never looked so blue Here in my lonely house built for two Come on in Come follow me And I'll show you how life feels When you're still dreaming After you wake up

I had you in the clouds, had you in the clouds Love makes the most beautiful patterns I climbed your ladder, I tripped, I fell, I splattered All across the floor, I could take it anymore It was a dream come true, just me and you But you wanted it your way; I knew you wouldn't stick around I just wanted to love you, no one was above you I just wanted to show you what real love could do But you wanted it your way, you wanted it your way Always your way, always your way Always someday, always someday We'd be together again There was a backlash, we had some whiplash You had that flashback and you wanted me back But I could remember what it was I treasured Had to dive back in those deep brown eyes I just sighed and said Have it your way, babe Have it your way, babe I guess I'll always be your slave Have it your way, babe Have it your way, babe I guess I'll always be your slave That separation ended in conflagration And that conversation left me begging for salvation And I didn't want to make it work, I didn't want to stick it out My spirit was all spent Those notes on the keyboard left you enamored You wanted to hear my voice So you could adore me for a minute Why did you quit it before we even spoiled? Before we finished what we started Before the finish, we departed At the starting line we can open our eyes And remember to find a way Back into the recesses of our brains And start again, before we began Have it your way, babe Have it your way, babe I guess I'll always be your slave Now we're a little bit older, chip on our shoulders But we don't have to do the same things We can grow bolder Love stronger Have it your way, babe Have it your way, babe I guess I'll always be your slave I mistook you for the sun Pardon me I mistook you for the moon and stars That light the way to glee, light the way to glee Have it your way, babe

Spinning 02:44
Spinning all around me, spun about and hit the floor Sink into the darkest waves that sweep you to the shore Black is all that I can see, but I can feel your hands Pull me to the depths and let my spirit turn to sand The air is kissed with moonlight and the color of the night Shadows slipping through the cracks and drifting out of sight And I don't want to open up my eyes Forest floor is breathing, whispers night is falling fast Falling like my heart and pulling me into the past Spinning all around me, spun about out of control Sun keeps on the other side the secrets I have told And I don't want to wake up I don't want to open up my eyes

Limb by Limb 04:36
They're frozen in their souls From head to toe, from head to toe They'll watch us growing old But we will never grow as cold 'Cause you and I burn like coal They talk with tongues like snakes Their words are fake, their voices shake The pages all left blank as echoes shrank And my heart sank below where dark waves break Limb by limb they suck me in To fit me in some other skin But I'll never fit in their mold By and by, they suck me dry I'll steal away into the sky Where worlds are so bright and so bold This chase is just a dance And there's no chance, and there's no chance No secret safe escape, so I'll keep dancing, playing their game But I'll never play by their rules Limb by limb they suck me in To fit me in some other skin But I'll never fit in their mold By and by, they suck me dry I'll steal away into the sky Where stars are so bright and so bold Limb by limb they suck me in To make me where a different skin But I'll never fit in their mold

Drifting by my window Like flecks from far off stars The past is growing distant To what the distance disregards And held in your perspective Time is a spectral hum The wheel is set in motion Tomorrow has begun This wheel of fortune you have chosen This wheel of fortune keeps you searching I love you from the deepest place The deepest place I know And the journey takes us deeper still To where I thought I'd never go But time is just a shadow We hold up to the light So hold on to me closely now As we gaze down from such a height From this wheel of fortune that keeps you searching This wheel of fortune you have chosen Empty streets, they forget their own names Creep along, green ivy, find your way Lost my mind but I'll find it someday Always rambling All on a lonely day Light is dim, is drawn into her eyes Shadow's paths, her breath my only guide To stay or go, I'll never decide To discover it All on a lonely day Sometimes I don't know why I feel just like an island, babe The sea swallows the sky I'll die drowning in the shade All on a lonely day

Sight 03:54
We now have the sight to decide Will our love flow all through your braids now? Going down the road, where will it go? Will it just slow down and break down? Well I call them just to say that I'm so happy Well I call them just to say I love you so Well I call them just to ask what makes them happy What a shame to go through life and never know Sitting in the sand, water in my hands Standing at the edge of the world now I'll never stay the same, I'll always change Perhaps still basking in your warmth now Well I call them just to say that I'm so happy Well I call them just to say I love you so Well I call them just to ask what makes them happy What a shame to go through life and never know Will we find our mountains in the sky? Will we find our mountains in the sky? Wind whips around with his whispers and his sighs Will we find our mountains in the sky? Underneath where you lie?
