So Many Years Ago
Time is not on our side anymore
What was once open road is another detour
Now it’s dark and I don’t know the way
Just one more hour, you say
‘Til night succumbs to day
Let the night explode
You said so many years ago
Oh how you meant it
But how hard it was to hold
Back when red starlight
Devoured the weightless open sky
All we want is to live until we’re gone
Taste each moment as it slips over our tongues
Feel each warm breath deep within our own lungs
Let the night explode
You said so many years ago
Oh how you meant it
But how hard it was to hold
Back when red starlight
Devoured the weightless open sky
You made a promise
That you’d live until you die
The day
The day succumbs
Succumbs to night
The day
The day becomes
Becomes the night
The day
The day succumbs
Succumbs to night

Daydream
Don’t be afraid
Nothing’s gonna change
Don’t be afraid
If you feel a little strange
Don’t be afraid
Everyone’s the same
Don’t be afraid
We’re all playing the game
And no one gets out alive
Come on bring it on
Just like a daydream
Riding on the sky
Just like a daydream
The future passing by
Just like a daydream
Burn the sun tonight
Don’t be alarmed
It’s just a passing phase
I mean no harm
We’re just caught in a daze
And all of you are wrapped up
In this orange haze
Just like a daydream
Riding on the sky
Just like a daydream
The future passing by
Just like a daydream
Burn the sun tonight
How do I know I’m gonna be alright?
How do I know I’ll make it through the night?
And how do I know I’ll come out of this dream?
I think there’s more than there used to seem
You’ll be alright
You’ll be alright
You’ll be alright
Just like a daydream
Just like a daydream
Just like a daydream
Burn the sun tonight

As You Climb From Your Bed
When the dream is finally over now
And real life finally begins
Pull the pictures from their walls
Drop your friends and pack your things
Time to make it all
Happen before you are old
Red days closing in
The devil’s coming down the road
The sun has finally broken through
The dark clouds hanging over you
As you climb from your bed
The sun has finally broken through
The dark clouds hanging over you
As you climb from your bed
You’ve lived for years under an ocean now
Writing songs and drinking beers
Throwing fire at all their blank faces
Trying to burn down empty stares
Time to make it all
Happen before you are old
Red days closing in
The devil’s coming down the road
Hold steady, hold steady now
I’m ready, I’m ready now
The sun has finally broken through
The dark clouds hanging over you
As you climb from your bed
The sun has finally broken through
The dark clouds hanging over you
As you climb from your bed
The sun has finally broken through
The dark clouds hanging over you
As you climb from your bed
The sun has finally broken through
The dark clouds hanging over you
As you climb from your bed
The sun has finally broken through
Broken through
Broken through
The sun has finally broken through
Broken through
Broken through
The sun has finally broken through
The dark clouds hanging over you
As you climb from your bed
The sun has finally broken through
The dark clouds hanging over you
As you climb from your bed

Held On Too Long
Another dream of gold
Under ten feet of snow
The sky grows dark and cold
Hey, girl on the lawn
Hey, girl looking down
A hollow wooden shell
Surrounds all she can’t tell
A whole life framed for all time
Hey, girl on the lawn
Hey, girl looking down
You’re all I’ve known
Hey, girl on the lawn
Hey, girl looking gone
You held on too long
I know where I’m going
I’ll know when I’m there
It seems like a dream
That you could even care
It’s just like you told me
When we were young
If something’s not right
Then surely it’s wrong
If life’s not too short
Maybe it’s too long
Is it better to know this
Before you begin?
You better not stop before you begin
You better not stop before you begin
You better not stop before you begin
You better not stop before you begin

Days and months collide
Until the day you find
You no longer care
You’re hardly there
Tell me you know what’s coming
Tell me you know what’s coming
Tell me you know what’s coming
Sinking like a stone
Wondering what went wrong
Hoping that this time
It wasn’t all for nothing
I can’t have spent all this time
Scratching out pointless lines
I thought I’d have more to show
Than scribbles on cracking stone
I thought I could save my soul
Have some proof I was here at all
I can’t have spent all this time
Scratching these pointless lines
I thought I’d have more to show
Some proof I wasn’t alone
Tell me you know my name
Tell me you feel the same
I always thought these notes would bring
Me closer to something
Deeper than starless sky
The bottomless sound inside

Not The Common Gold
You took a harder way
Than you were told
Your gold is not
The common gold

Trojan Horse
Holding on with all my might
To all of me
Or riding high up into the night
High and free
Howling loudly across the sky
Giving in
Shatter all that you thought was right
And come right in
Buried lies trying hard to be told
Secret lives always fight to unfold
Sucking sweat from the silent air
Mine to ride
Stinging skin from your whipping hair
Blinded eyes
Howling loudly across the sky
Giving in
Shatter all that you know is right
And come right in
Buried lies trying hard to be told
Secret lives always fight to unfold
You call out my name
From inside your shell
But it’s way too late
I already fell
Howling loudly across the sky
Giving in
Shattered all that I knew was right
I came right in
Secret lives always fight to unfold
Buried lies trying hard to be told
Secret lives always fight to unfold

The Biggest Secret Yet

The Biggest Secret Yet
You may turn out alright
You may end up just waiting
Around for something else
The time may be just right
Your clock just keeps on ticking
On the hollow winter shelf
Lights out again tonight
Extinguish all the passion
You held close as a child
Rediscover it in chords
In dusty little corners
Of rooms darkened by doors
Turn on the flood again
Illuminate your back room
Send spiders running home
Through pinholes in the sky
Your shadows casting shadows
Your riverbeds run dry
So you’ve done things on your own
That you were never proud of
That haunted you alone
Like fighting all day long
Screaming at the top of
Your lungs at one you love
Or turning an open hand
Against the girl who held you
This you never told
But the biggest secret yet
Will still remain unspoken
Until I’m broken all the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
