Trains 03:57
If there's nothing to decide than the choice is already made/ what's left, it's not worth our thought/ You couldn't hold me but you kept me up until the dawn And if all is lost lets rejoice for what we had/ we came close, we never went too far/ You didn't tell me it wouldn't be this way before/ You couldn't tell me it wouldn't be this way before Follow me into eternity/ for this poverty won't be a chain Our fortress gates are falling, your bells are ringing loud and strong/ although they're broken, they ring so free and far/ you didn't answer but you know the reasons in your soul/ oh you know to get there you're gonna have to pay a toll So won't you follow me into eternity/ because this tragedy won't stop this train
2.
Stop, I'm gonna lose my mind/ I've been standing in the rain a long long time/ stop, I have to change my mind/ I don't know how much longer I will survive It's been a long, such a long time since you've been by my side/ and it's been too long since I've had a piece of mind/ but I can't let you go, oh no/ I can't say goodbye Stop/ we're wasting all our time/ I can't stand it, going in circles all my life/ you better stop/ let's try to make it right/ oh girl without you I won't make it through the night I'll buy you diamonds/ I'll buy you anything your heart desires, yeah/ but you make it hard/ it feels like loving you is a crime/ but I can't let you go, oh no/ I can't say goodbye ooh girl I'll buy you diamonds/ I'll buy you anything your heart desires, yeah/ but you make it hard/ it feels like loving you is a crime/ but I can't let you go, oh no/ I can't say goodbye/ say goodbye

Your Light 04:31
Stranded by the distance/ our patience growing old, oh no/ maybe I can't tell the difference/ or which side I belong on ooh your light leaves me in the dark/ as it glows and shimmers/ give me a sign we don't have time for an explanation/ and it grows on and on weighed down by the optimism/ growing in our soul, it's all wrong/ and maybe I just have to listen/ to what we have been told all along ooh your light leaves me in the dark/ as it glows and shimmers/ give me a sign we don't have time for an explanation/ and it grows on and on Some kind of a kismet/ fighting for control and all our thoughts become a prison/ if we let them grow too long ooh your light leaves me in the dark/ as it glows and shimmers/ give me a sign we don't have time for an explanation/ and it grows on and on
4.
Chronos 07:22
In a shadow of what it could be by now/ all the equations add up to zero somehow/ the way we've seen such great kingdoms fall before/ can it be real? the way it shakes you to your core Don't make me feel this time anymore/ it's been too many times before/ it's slipped out of my life Ask a question, watch the answers pass you by/ feel the sensation, the constant passage of the time/ the way we feel it's all just part of something more/ can it be real? or are we sick without a cure? Don't make me feel this time anymore/ it's been too many times before/ it's slipped out of my life and oh, don't make me feel this time anymore/ it's been too many times before/ it's slipped out of my life
5.
Dawn Rag 04:19
Lying lost broken and crying/ you look back to the horizon/ to see a brand new melted dawn, fading away/ standing there you're all alone/ the wind echoes shivers through your bones but the climate's not at fault for your misery/ oh can't you see I've been fading for some time/ don't know how to draw the line/ getting lost to find/ where we can belong/ can anywhere be home/ will we always be wrong It takes all you've got to look away/ every ounce of thought to forget that day/ the way realities kept crashing down, all around/ it's heavier than what you can ponder/ grab your bearings and run for cover, the water of the rain it holds no prophecy/ that you can see/ the grand equation mystifies me/ it's wisdom so electrifying/ flying on the wings of what it creates/ all that I can say is I've been fading for some time/ don't know how to draw the line/ getting lost to find/ where we can belong/ can anywhere be home/ will we always be wrong you know that I've been fading for some time/ don't know how to draw the line/ getting lost to find/ where we can belong/ can anywhere be home/ will we always be wrong We do all that we can/ the stone still turns to sand/ and slips out of our hand/ we try to do what's right/ the day still turns to night/ now becomes yesterday

Perception 06:18
Sparks that light the blinding way through battlefields of winter haze After the shockwave fades away there's nothing left to say Circuits broken, dark clouds forming over my mind Desolation, consternation all the time And you keep telling me you're feeling fine 'cause you've got your perception and I've got mine Now is this just an illusion, or is it tranquility to find a source of comfort from everything surrounding me? 'Cause nothing's going right or wrong, been this way far too long Narrowly just hanging on, I feel my life has come and gone What am I to do to keep from going insane? Brainwashed into thinking that it's all the same And you keep telling me that it's all right 'cause you've got your perception and I've got mine Circuits broken, dark clouds forming over my mind Desolation 'cross the nation all the time And you keep telling me that it's all right but you've got your perception and I've got mine
7.
Lonely Day 07:01
so we're sailing, we are old and young/ our hands are tied behind our backs/ the ship is restless, it's limbs are flailing/ I hope it brings us what we lack They're trying to catch me while I'm making my way to the sun/ my darling try and reach me there keep me moving, oh keep me steadfast/ keep me beautiful and warm/ this love is only what we're losing/ we've got to make it through this storm They're trying to settle scores while I'm sitting on top of the world/ My darling try and reach me there I know it's been a long time now/ can you reach me there? And I know it's been a long time now/ can you reach me there? it's been a long time now/ waiting for the the bow to break it's been a long time now/ oh it's been a long time now/ waiting for the bow to break it's been a long time now/ oh
8.
I'm rockin' my home made tie dye shirt/ treat me like that now you're bound to get hurt/ baby baby tell me say what's the word/ the way that you're acting is completely absurd oh say it again now/ just a little louder now/ say it again now/ just a little louder now well I feel like powder babe I'm ready to blow/ gimme something solid just to show me you know/ I've been in the desert for 25 days/ the coyote howls and the snake wants my brain oh say it again now/ just a little louder now/ say it again now/ just a little louder now Put a drop of lemon in your gasoline/ the preacher man teachin faith by the stream/ I'll tame that sea with my balladry/ look right down just to see how far I could see oh say it again now/ just a little louder now/ say it again now/ just a little louder now say it again/ say it again/ say it again/ say it again
