would you be my open arms would you be my life would you be my wrecking ball would you be my knife time has lost its way of passing by i lost what it takes to feel alive knock on all my dirty doors but baby I'm not home remind me what I'm working for I fight my fight alone if I could stop this pain by being sly then I'd spread out like raven's wings and fly I might miss you and I'll write pages with this old guitar but I aint gonna give you the time I've wasted to win your open arms you caught me lookin, I'm so bad you got me locked in tight but my escape is in my hands I'm faster than your eyes I'll find another way to breathe and thrive I'll run like a river or a race just to be outside you can't take my heart forever you can't take my soul forever you can't take my love forever you can't take it no more I won't take another step I won't wait inside your web and I won't break myself again I won't cry no more

I am only floating cause the tree got tired when autumn falls upon me I will fly and brush through all the branches like a forest fire try to wake them up before they die I alone could not inspire breath or beauty I alone could not get oh so high so as the ground approaches and the wind blows through me I will make its sound my battle cry so far away from the place that I once grew I'm floating on oh the lush green innocence I knew so briefly oh the yellow fear that made it flee and gave me to the breeze that blows so soft and sweetly there's nowhere that I'd rather like to be I am not the way I was when I first woke up summer days became my closest friend but the suns sweet rays burned through me till I longed for cold just like the kind that came along with the autumn wind so far away from the brown that made me blue I'm floating on carry me sweet sky I'll long before I die let me be enclosed in the vastness heaven knows and as my light fades down I await the patient ground let the years break through so that life can start anew open me sweet wind like a door that never ends and fetch me from the fear that brought the autumn here

I heard you almost say I love you like a hundred times and it felt so beautiful. oh your joy is my delight we sat like distant best friends using up the telephone lines and we watched our worries fade send a smile from yours to mine standing in circles will we ever get to waltz the straight line oh you know you can find me there oh you know you can find me gracing the same old stage as the stars and the crickets and the moonlight waiting on your hand in mine longing for your shoulder I love you like the light does, dear. On your face it looks divine, like a radiant peace of mind I love you like the grass that sways in fields that roll like endless waves breeze that blows our cares away. you open up your arms and I will be at home when I'm inside cause I'm lost like a dragonfly floating through the sad, dark sky painted reflections of our dreams are drawn across the daytime how the sun and moon collide while the silly sparks ignite catch every moment in the wake of the torrent that your smiling face supplied oh it's oh so beautiful, oh it's oh so bright I love you like the rain does, babe when it falls on your wounded face with its cold, sweet, bitter taste I love you like a warm embrace and when they throw their stones I'll stay wrapped around you like silk lace

Violets 04:36
got a ticket to fly the rhythm is my alibi pulsating delight I aint blue tonight I'm just happy to be under the sky few rounds with the world but I aint tired and I aint hurled all my thoughts through the air I'll play them anywhere no I don't really care, what a sinister night owl I can be light it up till it's bright out outside take me down with your violence take me down with your violence I won't die I won't dissapear I'll say it loud, I'll say it clear through the battlefield I ride and I get down here said what can be said with fancy words immortalized my regret I gotta see something more gotta see something I won't forget what a sinister night owl I can be light it up till it's bright out outside take me down with your violence I'll be covered in violets and sunshine cause I don't know the difference between right and wrong and I don't care to find out I don't want no walls between anyone and I don't want to be tied down

Shinytime 04:10
put your heart up for grabs face your giants and laugh as you stare them to snake size watch the rim of your glass cause so much more than half is filled you got a letter from love every time you look up and wave at the daylight you wait for heaven above while all you do is shine find your subtle little smile inside find your light ( and let it shine ) hear the sound in the sky like a song ya can't write down if ya tried forever fathom the face of always and always and always be certain life is magical like a madrical makin savage beasts break bread you don't have to pull you you don't have to struggle you can laugh and still be fed

Unspoken 04:15
take me in your arms I'm the one who loves you break free rule your heart with the song of your escape and maybe we'll belong to a love that has no limit or maybe we'll be wrong and we'll crash before we craze the bright sky overhead don't seem so big let's crash through it tell me I belong but I won't believe your whispers watched hell freeze to write this song and I'm gone with no escape the bells ring in your honor void of all their vision the sound sings to soothe the sorrows of all who saw their stage the walls of wandering stone don't seem so strong let's take them on and where we want to go we'll break the dawn we've waited for so long we tried to reach the end we are the silent ones we are the unspoken
7.
sweet December sullen shades of grey tweak the timbre of the only endless song that nature sang frozen fortress a starving sword to slice through summers soul out of focusout of love and out of our control and the way it looks we'll all sleep sound tonight the foundations shook but the joy is still inside lush of empires morning of new birth dawn of desire shine across the heavens and the earth learned our lesson and now we're all just glad to greet the day no more questions no more hurt, and no more hate and the way it looks we'll all resound through time like same three words that bound your heart to mine alive and well and overall, we're almost satisfied the seasons swell and shrivel up and fade behind the light every ancient shell is broken off and all are back to life with our broken arms we greet the day and wave across the tide follow the fall and you'll live forever rest inside the rest and you'll disappear strum on the strings and we'll sing together we brought it all back home and we made it clear the drift of change is near
8.
time don't waste itself on the dead they got no hope they got no worries and we got something that can't be said in a song I wrote while the world looks blurry what a passing phase is our joy what a short sweet moment are our tears oh the same old story's been told through the years we're all just animals living on our islands here. let me linger my heart won't break in the mess I've made though it's cracked and empty I'll rest on the shoulderof passing things till it's all undone till the song that's in me don't sound like the ones they wanna hear don't march to the beat of their drum if it ever did I'd be lost in love but I'm intangible and I'm scared of growing up
