Description: Philosophic look at how our minds can take us in the wrong direction

A Quiet Life 

 

You find a place to settle down
Away from everything you've known
So many secrets to protect 
So many people to forget

 

Wasting away in your silent disgrace
Keep your head down
Keep your head down
Each lonely day etching lines on your face
No one must know
No one must know


A quiet life 

 

You find a place but it's not home
And yet you stay here on your own
With all your secrets stashed away
With memories of better days

 

Pining away for the life you have lost
Your bridges are burned
Bridges are burned
Each passing day has you counting the cost
What have you learned ?
What have you learned?


A quiet life

 

And was it you or just one big mistake?
Crossing the lines that they drew?
What could you change if you could only go back?
Back to the days when you lived such a quiet life


You found a place to hide away
With memories of better days
So many secrets to protect
So many people to forget

Not True

For An Ounce Of Gold

For an ounce of gold
You walked away from those who loved you
And you broke the bonds
With those who always kept you safe

Chorus

For an ounce of gold
You simply walked away
For an ounce of gold
From all the plans we made
For an ounce of gold
Your choices have been made
For an ounce of gold
I hope you're happy this way

For an ounce of gold
You turned your back on those who loved you
And you closed the door
And walked away from everything we'd built 

Chorus

What Is The Truth?

Chorus

What is the truth?
(What do we mean?)
What is the truth?
(Where did it begin?)

He stands alone lost in endless thought
Searching for meaning in battles he's fought
Echoes of memories, whispering low
He wonders deeply where all of time goes

Chorus

What is the truth?
(What do we mean?)
What is the truth?
(Where did it begin?)

Staring at stars in the cold empty sky
Searching for answers, wondering why
How did we get here and where will we go?
If there's a meaning, how can we know?

Chorus

What is the truth?
(What do we mean?)
What is the truth?
(Where did it begin?)

Chorus
What is the truth?
(What do we mean ?
What is the truth?
(Where did it begin?)

What is the truth?
How can we know?

What Is The Truth

Open Up 

V1 

Open up your eyes
See how lifetimes fly
Open up and let the light back in

Open up your mind
Who knows what you might find?
Open up and let the light back in

Chorus

Time is just a river that's flowing to the sea
Won't you take my hand and swim with me?
Feel the morning sun touch your weary skin
Open up and let the light back in

Open up and let the light back in

V2

Shadows of the past
Might linger in your mind
Open up and leave the dark behind

Open up your heart
And let the loving start
Open up and let the light back in

Chorus

Open up and let the light back in 
Open up and let the light back in

Open Up

Do You Dream of Winter Scenes?

Do you dream of winter scenes?
Snow is falling and it feel like the winter's taking hold ?
(It's cold, so cold)

Do you long for frosty air?
When breath is freezing and every scene's a beauty to behold ?
(It's cold, so cold)

But you're lying in the sun
And as your skin is turning brown
You feel so bored
(So bored, so bored)

So you dream of winter scenes
As the summer days drag on
But soon they will be gone
(They're gone, so gone)

No more lying in the sun
And as your skin is turning grey
You'll soon be gone
(So gone, so gone, so gone)

So just treasure every day
For they soon will slip away
And they'll be gone
(So gone, so gone, so gone)
