Find the code word
Beneath the Crystal Waves
Light dances in the water;
What music Moonglow makes!
A million dollar statue
Boards an urgent flight afar
Priceless counterfeit paintings,
Normal reactions, stolen car
Is there something that
You're not telling me?
Take the train to Paris,
And catch a cab in Rome
If you ever feel lonely,
Dream of a place called home.

I bet you thought
The rope snapped
I bet you thought
The water was real
How does it feel?
We're all trying
To get away
Dive in and dodge
The bullets; escape
How does it feel?
It sure feels real
I bet you thought
You'd be a hero
I bet you thought
You'd save the day
I bet you thought
You had nothing to lose,
But you lost everything
Get away,
Swim away!
Washed up in the shallows,
So far from the gallows
Get away,
Swim away!
Do you feel safe?
I'd do anything
For recognition;
To settle my self-glorifying
Disposition
Based my value on the
Standards of men;
Oh, if I could do it
All over again!
And if it's my life
I'm looking to save,
I'll take that sentiment
To the grave
Do you feel safe?

Phase
01:23
|

Somnolent
Drizzly days,
Stuck in this
Transitional phase
Saved for tomorrow
What I put off today
A slave to the safe
Transitional phase
Excuses,
Excuses
If I'm honest with myself,
The truth is:
The moment
I've been waiting for
Just passed as I
Glanced at the clock

I've been fighting myself
And he won't give in;
Ignorant defiance in his
Sinister grin, and my
Iron will has been
Coated in rust
My unrest is the product of
Absence of trust
He's got my voice
And he looks like me, but he's the
Full embodiment of what I
Don't wanna be
I took an uppercut
Right to the chin, but
To my feet I rise;
I won't let him win
I wanna be at peace,
But there's a void inside
Nothing on Earth
Could ever satisfy
I put my trust
In all I could see,
But I couldn't see
I can't depend on me
An imposter's on the loose
And his name is Pride;
In the cold recesses of our
Souls he hides
He's been sitting on the
Throne of my heart,
He's a wretched tyrant; the whole kingdom's
Falling apart
Walk up to the mirror,
Look him right in the eye
It's high time I gave myself
A piece of my mind
This conflict of interest,
This division of soul,
Ensures that, on my own,
I'll never be whole

Small Town Reverie

"Hello there, sleepy hometown
Friend, it's been a while
You really haven't changed much,"
I observed with a smile
The mountains are as picturesque
As ever before
And nostalgia is a welcome guest
At my door
The same old trees have
Brand new leaves,
And the road has been
Repaved
Three coats of paint
Eventually fade with the days
Time, it seems, has
Sprouted wings,
So catch this moment
In a jar
In this fleeting reverie,
I see that
It's been beautiful so far
I came back here to witness
The effects of time firsthand
Calendars and clocks don't make it
Any easier to understand
Because the present touches eternity
And the present is passing by
We've all got to decide
What to do with our time
Shared a sip of coffee
With a kindly local gent;
He wore a crown of splendor
And his aching back was bent
I said, "I blinked, and now it's all gone,"
And at this, his worn eyes lit
With a sagely grin, he said,
"Kid, you don't know the half of it."

Epiphany
04:32
|

Staring at a wall,
Waiting for a change
My molecules to disassemble,
My conscience to rearrange
A pebble to fall from heaven;
Perturb this placid pond
Make ripples into motion
Before the verve is gone
Forgive me God,
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart,
Oh God
The birds, You fed them
The lilies, You gave them clothes
Yet somehow, I still find it so hard
To be still and know
Why is this rest so elusive?
I worry far too much, it's true
The peace that's so painfully absent in me
Can only be found in You
It's clear to me now,
You're the perfection I sought
You're so very good,
and I'm. Just. Not.
