Lead on Adventure… through time and space An indescribable way we face these coming days in our Land of Dreams We built a school of truth, on the flow of the skies... on the Strength of Love, the Magic of Insight and the Will to Survive... in our Land of Dreams There’s mystery in the life that imitates the art, There’s history in the forces guiding the stars, The shadows on the wall, the theatre of it all… Time’s mist dissolving ways of old. Patterns washed away in the sand – It’s a Spiders Web, this dream's apparition This life is the Fairytale, shining mirrors, twisted tales shining mirrors, twisted sails… There’s mystery in the life that imitates the art, There’s history in the forces guiding the stars, All you take yourself to be, letting go of it all... then you just might really see, there’s no way to fall… Pull focus from all that’s governed and controlled in so many places – there’s so many faces to show to you In one moment, one day one lifetime… In our dreams, in our Land of Dreams.

Last Night 04:25
Last night I listened to the sound of the rain, Not knowing whether I was awake. The water of the skies, Melts with the seams of my mind, A vast, unpredictable lake Of time… Way from where we are meant to be Way from where we are meant to be Remembering you remembering me Remembering you remembering me Remembering you remembering me And the catch is that neither up nor down brings relief… In these manifestation myths …manifestation myths… ….Last night…. I listened to the sound of the rain, I was awake.

Is this survival? Are we waiting for the promised land? Another side to take the place of what we understand… Is this survival, where we live and breathe not asking why Always falling in the slip stream hurricane of I Trying to survive I saw something I couldn’t face in me Sometimes Do you hate what you see? I’m just Trying to let go Sometimes… I know I can face it! Is this survival? Are we waiting for the promised land? Another side to take the place of what we understand.. Is this survival where We live and breathe not asking why Always falling in the slip stream hurricane of I Trying to survive Trying to survive

Leave it alone There’s nothing to do… Leave it alone There’s nothing to do… I falter In this endless sky I falter In your eyes These are the memories we forget And we can remember how we first me I fall to earth In the blink of an eye These reflections These reflections Leave it alone There’s nowhere to go… Leave it alone There’s nowhere to go… Something about you never moves Keeps shining like a crystal ball Water-like-shadow Beyond the wall These reflections These reflections These are the memories we forget And we can remember how we first me I fall to earth In the blink of an eye These reflections These reflections in your eyes These reflections These reflections These reflections These reflections

Out there, In here… Speak a prayer Please find me… Certain as the fading dawn, We’re close to the day It Will Be Lesser known, Are the valleys of your mind… And mine, Is like a flight path in the sky... A bird in the hand Is nothing to hold to, I learned to give that away, From me. A bird in the hand Is nothing to hold to, I learned to give that away… Swimming tides… Where do we go from here? What do we really have to show for All the time we spend … ever changing. Lets live in the mountains Where the air is clear, Bring me honey from the hive my dear… Lets swim in the tides. A bird in the hand Is nothing to hold to, I learned to give that away From me A bird in the hand Is nothing to hold to, I learned to give that away… Swimming tides… We’re swimming tides, In the ocean of your mind… Swim the ocean wide… Swim the ocean wide… Out there, In here.... We're swimming tides...

Meltdown 05:01
Colours fade and we remain the same, The deep ocean my dream of you, Watching waiting for the scenes to change, To see to feel to be... is alchemy... Meltdown Meltdown Sure of this now, Floating high above the ground Sure of this now, In the end this will all meltdown. Fire burning feet walking the earth Hold my hand, water your soul The road turns skyward winding on and on Our memories, are drawn, in silence... Sure of this now, Floating high above the ground Sure of this now, In the end this will all meltdown. Meltdown Meltdown

Every which way before above and over again and away from here Im tired of yesteryear... Now, tomorrow is not far away, Its nearly midnight, and i paint my world further from the clock, that cracks and ties and binds... it binds... Calm down watch the stone as you bite, then you just might, swallow it all whole... Calm down watch the stone as you bite, then you just might, swallow it all whole... Just as if I must play with words or ... paint with sound... we go inside "a storm is coming", she said And in a teacup we saw those days flying by So lets get off this moving train and catch a wave along ... somewhow sometime ... Calm down watch the stone as you bite, then you just might, swallow it all whole... Calm down watch the stone as you bite, then you just might, swallow it all whole...
