Let me open up your eyes
and help you realize,
While you've been waiting all this time
the whole damn World's been passing by.
But you won't make a change,
So just keep walking clueless through the rain and wait.

There's not a drug that you can take
to make your problems go away,
But you keep looking for the cure.
What you see will leave you blind
until you open up your eyes and look inside.

We could try to make a plan,
But there's just so much we don't understand.
So baby take my hand;
I'll show you what I can.
Let's forget the World's demands.

You've been counting all the ways
that you can get away,
But something always brings you back.
You lost the path that you were on,
So now you think you're free to run along.
What if you're wrong?

All the days when there's nothing to say but go away,
are coming back to haunt you in your dreams.
But nothing's quite the way it seems;
Might be a blessing in disguise.
When I look in your eyes all I see are mine.
They're staring backwards in time
and trying to change the past.

Oh but I know I can't.
So I'll keep running 'round the street
trying to find some place to rest my feet.

All the faces in the sand
are trying to help me understand
the meaning of all this meaningless.
I wish I could jump down and give them all a kiss.
But I don't want to jump that far.
Or maybe I want it with all my heart,
But deep down I know I simply can't
or else I'd wind up the same as I began;
A grain of sand.

gravity

burden of the albatross

pipedream

still life

all you are

collector

in the still of the night

whispering

the borrowing song

underneath the blue blue sky
fragments of a single light
intertwined
some embracing while the rest collide
some escaping back into the light
you watch them burn
but you’ll have to wait your turn
‘cause where you came from is where you’ll return
you’re just filling in the blanks
there’s so many paths that you could take
though they all end up the same
but what are you to do

would you waste it
hang it on a wall and watch it fade
would you break it
just like the other picture frames
would you fake it
until your lies become the truth
would you take it
into the next dream with you

i need to figure out what i believe
before this road starts walking over me
i need to listen to the gentle breeze
and learn to let it carry me
i need to jump into the deep blue sea
find something only i can see
only once i’m out of breathe
will it reveal itself to me
it’s such a simple melody
it’s just a silly little song to sing

would you waste it
hang it on a wall and watch it fade
would you break it
just like the other picture frames
would you fake it
until your lies become the truth
would you take it
into the next dream with you

you reveal your heart
with every step you trod ahead
and the pieces you part with
some day will come back from the dead 
they’re wandering too
but they were never meant for you
they’re just phases passing through
like strangers on the sidewalk
you never hear a word they say
but you understand them all the same
like they’re speaking straight to you

they ask you where you come from 
and what brings you to these shores
you can’t remember what your reason was
or the place where you were born
so you turn and tell them kindly
that you’re just a passerby
and by the morning you’ll be dancing with the light

would you waste it
hang it on a wall and watch it fade
would you break it
just like the other picture frames
would you fake it
until your lies become the truth
would you take it
into the next dream with you

passerby
