We have been searching for
Some kind of meaning
All of us yearning for
A song worth singing
But we’ve not yet found
The reason we breath
Let’s find some common ground
Perhaps we’ll come around
The song we sing may just be the sound be the sound

Keep searching you’ll find the way
Today may just be the day
Keep searching and we may find
And leave all our fears far behind

Keep searching on…

I have been wondering
Why am I alive?
Still I am blundering
Down this road of life
And still I’ve not found
The song I’m supposed to sing
Still I’m running blind
Although my eyes are fine
The things that we believe in are still unseen still unseen

Keep searching you’ll find the way
Today may just be the day
Keep searching and we may find
And leave all our fears far behind

Keep searching on…

I examine my point of view
To learn the truth
And question my ways
And collectively the world that we
Choose to see
Is what we create
I’m examining the songs I sing
And questioning
the things that I say
And the colors of
Hate and love
Are all made of
Our own convictions

Keep searching you’ll find the way
It’s beautiful don’t be afraid
Just travelers through the unknown
Together but still on our own

Keep searching you’ll find the way
Today may just be the day
Keep searching and we may find
And leave all our fears far behind

Keep searching on…

Someday

Searching

So cast another stone
Just to test my will
I’ll never be taken down
I’ll keep climbing
I will rise above it all

Cuz I am the King of Stone
I carry my burdens alone
I call this mountain my home
Cuz kings build their castles on

Stone

Soon I will transcend the earth
All while standing still
Inside I’m rising up
I am a monolith
Strong like an obilisk
and I will rise

Cuz I am the King of Stone
I carry my burdens alone
I call this mountain my home
Cuz kings build their castles on

Stone

I can’t stop this self-inflicted pain
Here comes the rain, the stains that blot out my soul again
Here comes the sun, to stun, to shatter my worldview
The summer has begun

But I am the King of Stone
I carry my burdens alone
I call this mountain my home
Cuz kings build their castles on

Stone

King Of Stone

You make the world out to be
The fire raging in your head
You see…The pyre’s deep in you instead
You know you need to simplify
And learn to look inside
You see…Along the way you’ve lost all reality

You finally found your destiny
And I’ve been waiting
You finally realized you all along have been a fool

Eternity…bright like fireflies coming home
To me…the sky’s reflection on the sea
There’s something to reality
I’ve never felt so real
It seems…you’ve opened up like some kind of oracle

You finally found your destiny
And I’ve been waiting
You finally realized you all along have been a fool
Cuz I’ve been waiting, but peace is so hard to find
You’ve been straying, trying to keep to the line

So alone…

So alone…
Trying just to survive
Like a stone…
Bleeding to come alive

You finally found your destiny
And I’ve been waiting
You finally realized you all along have been a fool
Cuz I’ve been waiting, but peace is so hard to find
You’ve been straying, trying to keep to the line

Waiting

Mister catastrophe
Your hatred’s making headlines
Hey mister Blasphemy to think your kind is better than mine
Here’s something for you, here’s something for you.
You’re the infidel
And here’s how I can tell

Holy wars won’t make you whole
Holy wars won’t save your soul

Mister black heart decree
You were dead inside all the while
Mister too blind to see
Your faith is poison…oh so vile
Here’s something for you, here’s something for you.
You’re fucking up the world
Just to save your soul

Holy wars won’t make you whole
Holy wars won’t save your soul

So it seems you’re a monster
To vile to keep alive
Lay waste to bury
All your kind or you’ll be the death of me

Holy wars won’t make you whole
Holy wars won’t save your soul

Holy Wars

Oh my ship had run aground it seems
The river run dry
Been pushing on now I have lost the way
I’m losing faith so I’ll take these

Twelve more miles till I’m back to the lake
Maybe I’ll find the way
So twelve more miles till I’m back to the lake

So

Oh my ship is going down it seems
I’m losing my mind
Oh I might set sail back for home
Forget what I once believed

So

Twelve more miles till I’m back to the lake
Maybe I’ll find the way
So twelve more miles till I’m back to the lake

So

Oh ship has run aground it seems
I’ve lost all my hope
All of my demons they’ve conquered me
And all of my doubts become
What I believe
I feel I can’t go on
Can’t stay awake
How soon can I disengage
Only twelve more miles till I’m
Back to the lake
Maybe I’ll find the way

Take me home

Stop the boat! I can be strong
I will keep moving on
Turn this thing ’round I was wrong
To falter

Only twelve more miles till I’m back to the lake
It seems I have found the way
Only twelve more miles but I’ve no time to stay
No more time to delay

Take me home….

Oh my ship has come alive it seems
There will be no more fears
All of these shackles of doubt decay
I’m finally alive

Take me home…

Run Aground

It seems my bones are marching on, on to the beat again.
Pulse becomes pain, march through the rain, moving just to keep in the time.
It seems my bones are marching on, on till they turn to sand.
Eroding my name, all are the same, pushing while there’s more within me.

We’re marching in a straight line and given a name.
The pieces they fall, never the same.
We’re marching on, pushing in time, the rain may break.
Brothers of strife…we walk the line.

It seems my bones are marching on, on to the bitter end.
Cutting rain stings, still I can sing, bleeding while there’s more within me.
It seems my bones are marching on, on though it seems we have lost all hope.
Hope turns to grief, longing for sleep, but something says we need to survive.

We’re marching in a straight line and given a name.
The pieces they fall, never the same.
We’re marching on, pushing in time, the rain may break.
Brothers of strife…we walk the line.

Come on men! ROW!
My bones are rowing on, on to another shore.
Tide of new dreams, pushing upstream.
Harder and harder we move through the night.

Enough of my innocence died.
The day that I became not a child.
We never had enough but we survived.
If not for sight, those pictures inside may be healed.

We’re marching in a straight line and given a name.
The pieces they fall, never the same.
We’re marching on, pushing in time, the rain may break.
Brothers of strife…we walk the line.

Bones

Not unlike the sands of time
The moment slips away
Ticks and tocks lay behind
And lay ahead now
Stop…your analyzing mind
The moment is yours and mine
Learn to come alive
and come together for this ride…

It feels so right
Sensation washing over me
The sounds and light
Vibrations through reality
Embrace this energy
Inside the one and all
The sounds and synergy
Inside Perpetual
Motion

I think I feel a change in me
The moment’s come alive
Not like ticks to define
But rather like rain
Stop…breath to release and feel
The moment is not quite real
Learn to come alive
and come together for this ride…

It feels so right
Sensation washing over me
The sounds and light
Vibrations through reality
Embrace this energy
Inside the one and all
The sounds and synergy
Inside Perpetual
Motion

Music in my mind surrounds
The melody flies and the rhythm pounds
In this moment I believe
The ticking time is something that we’ve
Created

Let go…

It feels so right
Sensation washing over me
The sounds and light
Vibrations through reality
Embrace this energy
Inside the one and all
The sounds and synergy
Inside Perpetual
Motion

Perpetual Motion

Somday

Breaking The Machine

I’m covered in scars
But not yet a ghost
I count the stars
From this whipping post
I’m singing out loud
Someday I’ll fly
I stand tall and avow
I’m a king inside

Gonna build this tower to the sky
Watch the world turn anew
Build this tower, you and I
Break the chains

Someday

We’re tattered and scarred
But still we sing
These chains say who we are
So let freedom ring

We stand against the wall
But we will defy
We’ll build this tower tall
And look down in pride

Gonna build this tower to the sky
Watch the world turn anew
Build this tower, you and I
Break the chains

Someday

Well the water is rising
And the tower is climbing
It seems we’ve become warriors
We’ve become invincible
Well the power is growing
So we’d better keep going
We’ve come a long way from the whipping post
We’ve become invincible

Gonna build this tower to the sky
Watch the world turn anew
Build this tower, you and I
Break the chains
Someday

New love soon becomes
Just a memory
New thoughts they turn to dreams
That soon fade away
Every little thing I know will soon become nothing
All these little thorns in me will soon fade away

And all these stone walls
They fall to pieces
My heart is bleeding

But the dust may settle…

So you’re coming undone
But the dust may settle on…
So your demons have won
But the dust may settle on…

The dust may settle…

Both our minds are hung up
On this temporary plane
But all these things will soon be gone
Snow angels in the rain

And all these stone walls
They fall to pieces
Our hearts are bleeding

But the dust may settle…

So you’re coming undone
But the dust may settle on…
So your demons have won
But the dust may settle on…

The dust may settle…

Caught up on another wave
Ship capsized and who am I?
You know you gotta test your wings
Isolate from everything
Oh my God there’s a hole in me
Turn to one another to set us free.
All in time turns back to dust
Wake up, smell the roses

So you’re coming undone
But the dust may settle on…
So your demons have won
But the dust may settle on…

The dust may settle.

Dust

So much blood on the sands of time
Much because of tribes versus tribes
Separation still just a state of mind
Because, you know, our lives are intertwined

Lies have set the world on fire
They’re killing us
Lies are still dividing
Instilling us
Lies have built the old empire
God willing us
Lies may fall to pieces
For the first time

For the first time

So much hate in the hearts and minds
Much because we fear each other’s kind
Separation still just a state of mind
Because, you know, our lives are intertwined

Lies have set the world on fire
They’re killing us
Lies are still dividing
Instilling us
Lies have built the old empire
God willing us
Lies may fall to pieces
For the first time

For the first time

It’s you tribe versus mine
Spilling blood on the sands of time
It’s your god versus mine
Such a broken paradigm
Because our lives are intertwined
And separation’s a state of mind
If we don’t see eye to eye
It’s your madness versus mine

It’s your madness versus mine

Lies have set the world on fire
They’re killing us
Lies are still dividing
Instilling us
Lies have built the old empire
God willing us
Lies may fall to pieces
For the first time

For the first time

Fool the Devil

Versus

I grew scars from sticks and stones
I became a calloused beast
I turned hard from marching bones
Got a cold mentality

Never mind the mess I make
Or the cold surrounding me
Maybe I could change my ways
To become another me

Would you love me
If I showed you my soul?
Would you love me
Even though I’m ice cold?

Ice cold

I’m so cold from suffering
And so cold from where I’ve been
My ghosts have broken me
As I try to let you in

Would you love me
If I showed you my soul?
Would you love me
Even though I’m ice cold?

Ice cold

Living in the cold you’re going to freeze
Maybe we’ll warm eventually
Broken road feet in the snow
Broken feet upon a broken road
Ice cold

From your sticks and stones

Would you love me
If I showed you my soul?
Would you love me
Even though I’m ice cold

Ghosts and Monsters

Ice Cold

Holy wars won't make you whole,
Holy wars won't save your soul...
