Bare Branches & Beauty
03:33
|
|||
Solo for so long
Lonesome, oh
Skyward I see
Clear visions
Inward reflections
Bring me peace
Skyward I see
Bare branches
Beauty to me
Consists of
One chord, one sound
Pure poetry
Bare branches & beauty

Control Alt
02:52
|
|||
The garden is as overgrown
As the details of my life
The stars are farther than you throw
And the deal is fight or flight
The alt is ready to control
With a leash that is your life
There's hesitation to be shown
When the deal is black or white

Double Deuce
03:25
|
|||
Double deuce, one day soon
Maybe redundancy is key
He's a fool, you're a jewel
Baby, we'll learn to count to three
Bop bop bop
Pop pop pop
Double liar, into the fire
Lately the poison pill is free
Live wire, can you get higher
Baby, back to the nursery
Double deuce, ride the moon
Maybe we'll play the game with three
Num Nums and Wiggles too
Say cheese and dance around with glee

Elephant In This Room
03:14
|
|||
There's an elephant in this room
And I don't know what to do
I'm so dizzy and fatigued
I close my eyes... and fly
With you it's like we're on a spaceship
That takes us farther from Earth each day
I love numbers, but I hate math
I close my eyes... and fly
Fly, fly away

Hiding In Plain Sight
02:28
|
|||
Night fell on the forest lawn
The sinking of the faces
Eyes are skipping past the spot
Where prominence replaces
Hiding in plain sight
Sentimental starlet falls
The bending of the traces
Wonder where the feeling goes
When karma comes in phases
|
||||
6. |
Latency
03:00
|
|||
Lying dormant in the tender trap
Resting, waiting
Looking forward through a magic hat
Flying, dreaming
Volcanos, mostly mountains, biding time
Suspended, inactive
Waiting for a future when you're mine
Unending passion
Latency, latency
|
||||

Lazy Haze
01:28
|
|||
Willow, soft as tomorrow
Pillow clouds hide the sun
Your eyes glow with a sorrow
Lazy haze, you're the one
|

Mating Of The Souls
04:49
|
|||
It is the fading of the home
That gives the heart a place to go
While rumours fly we do concede
That closed eyes are never free
Seconds turn to minutes and
Minutes burn through hours of
Days and nights
It's a weekly ritual
It is the mating of the souls
With such a long way to go
The concept is so sublime
But, we must wait a long, long time
Months turn to years and
Years burn through decades of
Limited time
It's a lifetime ritual

Miss Ethereal
03:20
|
|||
Lilac heather wispy morning
Brushes misty hearts a soaring
Flashes with a future, what a sight
Submissive, the cage is waiting
Feminine, your breath is baiting
Dominant, the Master, out of sight
Wait, wait
Tender is the texture of your
Tapestries of endless pleasure
Sentimental feelings in the night
One day soon we'll come together
Sinister in generous measure
Stolen is the soul in which we hide
|

Moore's Law
02:59
|
|||
There's a trend, an acumen
The machines will double
In two years time, they'll double
Prophesy, self-fulfilled
Twice the size of trouble
In two years time, they'll double
Moore's law
Memory capacity
Processing speed
A measure of capability
Technological driving force
Social change in our century
A deadline to meet
|
||||

Penetration
02:49
|
|||
I heed the scent of fear in inspiration
Call out and plead to me
Sullen with tears, your eyes a celebration
Offer yourself to me
Stolen, your innocence waved goodbye
Bounded in ecstasy
Taken, the desperation in your eyes
Gave you the will to see
Silk is the binding force of instigation
Dashing ideas to flee
Now is the fateful time of penetration
Never will you be free
|
||||

Rush So Slowly
03:04
|
|||
You don't find peace until you find all the pieces
We're thick as thieves and burning into the sky
I smile wickedly at you before closing my eyes
Our imagination steals our souls to bliss
Rush so slowly and fall to your knees, dear
The sky is fading, the dregs of the day
This doesn't happen without you, so close your eyes
Glee for the predator and gloom for the prey
|
||||

Time Is Impatient
02:02
|
|||
Bloom where you're planted
Time is impatient, dear
Joy is abundant
When the dream brings you near
Your face erases shadows
Your faith eases sorrow
Bloom where you're planted
Time is impatient, dear
