Falling Down 05:51
Remember when you were young? Falling down falling down and picking yourself up When did you become So afraid so afraid to make a single mistake? You can't avoid falling down This facade to maintain give yourself a break You can't avoid You can't avoid Falling down What kind of mistakes would you like to make? To show them all who you really are Or are you too proud to let yourself slip and fall? Be gentle with yourself Contact with inspiration to take the first step The fool so close to the edge a leap of faith with no regret we'll only fall forward if we trip This facade to maintain give yourself a break You can't avoid You can't avoid Falling down What kind of mistakes would you like to make? To show them all who you really are Or are you too proud to let yourself slip and fall? Be gentle with yourself

Doubt 04:19
Time goes by The more it slips away the more I ask myself why I don't want to live a lie The more I live my truth the more it opens my tired eyes Floating in my mind thought to thought drifting by I feel fine I could just sit here and be with my mind my oh my Sometimes I'm so crazy but sometimes I'm shy Time goes by The more it slips away the more I ask myself why I don't want to live a lie The more I live my truth the more it opens my tired eyes Floating in my mind thought to thought drifting by I don't really know which way is up or down can you teach me everything I need to know? Time goes by and I ask my self why I still try to find the meaning in life I don't really know which way is up or down can you teach me everything I need to know?

In honor of my teachers and all of those who came before carrying forth the burning torch igniting fires in our hearts I used to believe I could figure this out all on my own turns out I was taking the hard road yeah you knew it all along Time and time again and again... I hear the sound the crying of a tender heart Where would I be without their love? Without their love... How can I ever repay this debt?

Untime 03:35
It's just another short millennia to wait for a disembodied specter to recreate but the spirit was late for its appointment on the other side an astral composition disintegrated was left behind

Fireflies 04:02
Reflections in the water Pale light of the moon Insects in the forest The flowers in full bloom Birds see people from the sky Birds see people and wonder why they do the things they do Then they flew Fireflies drift into the open air The shifting force of nature Intelligence creates Actions and consequence Are playing out their fates Birds see people from the sky Birds see people and wonder why they do the things they do Then they flew Fireflies drift into the open air

Watching You 03:51
I've been watching you for centuries I knew that you would be the one I've been watching you for centuries I knew that you would be the one Take me away to a place where you can stay Teach me your ways so I can learn to play your game You've been hiding from me all the time you knew that I would be the one You've been hiding from me all the time you knew that I would be the one Take me away to a place where you can stay Teach me your ways so I can learn to play your game Take me away to a place where you can stay Teach me your ways so I can learn to play your game I've been watching you for centuries I knew that you would be the one You've been hiding from me all the time you knew that I would be the one Take me away to a place where you can stay Teach me your ways so I can learn to play your game Take me away to a place where you can stay Teach me your ways so I can learn to play your game
