Solid Ground
02:03
|
|||
I was told, I was a mess
and I was told I was someone else
My feet that were not safe and sound
Are now on solid ground
Are you really ready now to let this go?
Understated, resting heart beats nice and low
My feet that were not safe and sound
Are now on solid ground
And now that I’m no longer bound
I’m missing the cracks on the ground
My feet that were not safe and sound
Are now on solid ground

Black and White
04:04
|

There is a space here
There is a sanctuary
Falling sensations
In me
Calling on patience
Counting on entropy
Riding on chaos
In me
In the summer
Was the sunlight
In the summertime
It was black and white
There is a sea change
It happens gradually
The weight has been lifted but It’s left a hole in me
In the summer
Was the sunlight
In the summertime
It was black and white

Snakes and Ladders
03:22
|
|||
In life we play
Don’t let them take your pawns away
In every way you look
It’s only Snakes and Ladders
Throw a six to start
Move the counter, don’t be last
And everywhere
You turn it’s all just…
Snakes and ladders
And we’re just waiting for a (our) turn
Hope and (with) Daggers
There’s nothing here that could be learned
So don’t play the game
Win or lose its all the same
And everywhere
You look it’s all just…
Snakes and ladders
And we’re just waiting for a (our) turn
Hope and (with) Daggers
There’s nothing here that could be learned

Good Before
03:08

You know I miss your faces
You know I miss your smiles
Though I know you’re near but so far away
I can hear you play
And I know you’re ok
Never been so near, never been so far away as this now
Day after day
Week after weekend
It’s just a matter of time it’s just a matter of faith
Wait after wait
Rain after sunshine
It’s only a matter of time I only pray that it’s not too late to turn the tide back around
Saturday and Sunday it’s all been done before
Don’t be afraid, it was good before.
You know I miss your faces
You know I miss your smiles
Though I know you’re near but so far away
I can hear you play
And I know you’re ok
Never been so near, never been so far away as this now
Though not for that much longer…

Sure of Yourself
03:19
|
|||
There are certain days
When the dots join up
And those little lines
Coax a picture out and it seems so obvious
Make sure you’re not certain
We all carry our burdens
Just make sure you’re not too sure of yourself
There are certain days
When the lights go out
And inside your brain
Won’t let you out and it seems too complicated
Make sure you’re not certain
We all carry those burdens
Just make sure you’re not too sure of yourself
In here no hero resides
I’m just here for the ride
We don’t own anything
Not even our minds
Make sure you’re not certain
We all carry our burdens
And nothings for certain
We carry those burdens
Just make sure you’re not too sure of yourself

Falling
03:48
|
|||
There’s a vision
I hold inside where there’s peace and sunlight
And I’m learning
To trust this world and let it’s light sail me home
There’s nothing to hold me back
You have to fall to get up
There’s a million
Souls before, that have lived and learned and loved
I wish I could hear them
And all they’ve know, how much further can I go?
There’s nothing to hold me back
You have to fall to get up
There’s no way to claw this back
You have to fall to get up

Start Anew
03:46
|
|||
Just one minute
One second
Just One fleeting thought I would like for myself
I’m tired of being the rock against the sea
No limits
No let up
No little chance to just become ourselves
I hope your mind will let you just be you
I know the time has come to start anew
5 minutes
1 hour
Or take a day to just enjoy our life
I hope your mind will let you just be you
It’s suffocating everything you do
I know the time has come to start anew
There’s no life
In this life.
So we deserve a better life
In this life
No winning
No losing
No prying eyes to make me doubt myself
I’m just another pebble in the sea
Just one minute
One second
And that fleeting thought has brought us peace at last.
I hope your mind will let you just be you
It’s suffocating everything you do
I know the time has come to start anew
I know the time has come to start anew

Without
04:25
|
|||
Long before.
Before the fall
You saw
Those colours more
Growing up
Growing old
You celebrate
Those falls you take
Some day, some times
The strong will get used to going without,
Living without
Some will have and some will not
But no matter what
That spirit shows
You got it right the first time around
So don’t change nothing
Just keep your heading to shoreline
Some day, some times
The strong will get used to going without
Living without
There’s no shame in changing your mind
There is strength in getting things wrong to make them right

All That You're Allowed
04:37
|

Faster than....
Stronger than...
Better than me
Smarter than....
Bolder than.....
Quicker than me
You don’t need those things
They don’t mean a thing
That’s all that you’re allowed
Thats all that you deserve
Stronger than I am
Better than all I can do
Richer than I am
Bolder is better so don’t even try to compare
You don’t need those things
They don’t mean a thing
That’s all that you’re allowed
That’s all you deserve
You were the storm that made no sound
I was a wreckage that you'd found
You were the sunlight all around
I was the shadow on the ground
You don’t need those things
They don’t mean a thing
That’s all that you’re allowed
That’s all that you deserve
That’s all that you’re allowed
That’s all that you’re allowed

Solid Ground (Reprise)
01:42
|
|||
I was told, I was a mess
I was told I was someone else
My feet that were not safe and sound
Are now on solid ground
And now that I'm no longer bound,
I'm missing the cracks on the ground
My feet that were not safe and sound
Are now on solid ground
Are now on solid ground
