1. Empty Streets
Don't pull me down through your sorrow
I cannot drown these pitied depths
We did not choose to live this way
But we must make our own freedom
Pull the curtain and let the light shine in
Blow the cobwebs from your mind
Spring has sprung and we must follow her
Leave the winter far behind
Cold calling, hang up that call
Storm brewing, take shelter in my arms
Winds blow through those empty streets
Shadows growing, illuminate your mind
Death closing, take a different road
Winds blow through those empty streets
Pull the curtain and let the light shine in
Blow the cobwebs from your mind
Spring has sprung and we must follow her
Leave the winter far behind
Winds blow through those empty streets
Cold calling, hang up that call
Storm brewing, take shelter in my arms
Winds blow through those empty streets
Shadows growing, illuminate your mind
Death closing, take a different road
Winds blow through those empty streets
Don't pull me down through your sorrow
I cannot drown these pitied depths
We did not choose to live this way
But we must make our own freedom
Pull the curtain and let the light shine in
Blow the cobwebs from your mind
Spring has sprung and we must follow her
Leave the winter far behind
2. Substance Vortex
The shell that you've become
3rd eye dilated
Your world's become one. You.
Down dark corridors
To the basement of your soul
Hide there in silence
Addiction consumes
No one else in there
Only yourself can break you free
Can't be my brother's keeper
These walls are your own
Just one more fix
And everything's fine
Addiction, your only friend
And he's here to stay
Take a walk outside your substance vortex
Outside, the world turning
As you wither deep inside
Caught in a cycle, self inflicted
You're in there somewhere
The shell you've become
3rd eye dilated
Your world's become one
Take a walk outside your substance vortex
Outside, the world turning
As you wither deep inside
Caught in a cycle, self inflicted
You're in there somewhere
The shell you've become
3rd eye dilated
Your world's become one. You.
3. Respect My Solitude
Space gazing
Passing the time of life
People watching
Their dreams mine to behold
Respect my solitude
Content in my own mind
My energies renewed
The present redefined
Time wasting
Hours pass too slow
I'm waiting
For the journey to begin
Respect my solitude
Content in my own mind
My energies renewed
The present redefined
Frustration, prisoner to schedules
In chains, my freedom essential
Days wasted, the time will not return
Life-changing
Each time something new
Contemplating
Which path to tread
Respect my solitude
Content in my own mind
My energies renewed
The present redefined
4. Cloud Seeder
Cloud seeder, all is for you
Without your rain
This desert could not bloom
I'm waiting for you to arrive
Anticipating cascading skies
So soothing, to cleanse my fears
Life-giving is in your tears
She brings the storm
So soothing, to cleanse my fears
Life-giving is in your tears
From nowhere
Black clouds strike out the sun
She brings the storm
Thunder, lightning, torrential rain
So soothing, to cleanse my fears
Life-giving is in your tears
Cloud seeder, all is for you
Without your rain
This desert could not bloom
5. Still Yearning
Arise from our slumber
To greet the new dawn
Far we have wandered
Our journey carries on
New ventures await
Flowing softly in the new wind
From here I can see the stars
Waiting for new dimensions
Full of passion, my new soul
Takes me further beyond this night
I promise to keep you in my heart
Know I am gone but shall return anew
Keep growing stronger every day
Embrace the new, meet me halfway
Still learning, still yearning
I promise to keep you in my heart
Know I am gone but shall return anew
6. Strike Up With The Dawn
I keep pushing through
Chasing dreams of yesterday
But your times are gone
You live them through your son
Midnight has passed you by
My tomorrow is just beginning
Keep pushing
Youth has faded
We cannot hide the lines
Living through your progeny
Was this your destiny?
Midnight has passed you by
But my tomorrow is just beginning
Keep pushing
Have you succumbed?
Are you defeated?
Is that fire inside you gone?
My new chorus strikes up with the dawn!
Time is to take
Not foolishly give away
Keep pushing
7. Transcending Yesterdays
The time is here to awake
Dreams now fade, dark forsakes
Am back with the world now
I wasn't gone for too long
Consumed by aching pain
Now I must be strong
Prepare to fly again
Transcending yesterdays
Return? I can't say when
Perhaps we'll find a way
Back on my own
No pressure to conform
Living cheek by jowl
Where conflict is born
Breathing deep, all now done
But cannot wait for my return!
Prepare to fly again
Transcending yesterdays
Return? I can't say when
Perhaps we'll find a way
Life now slow
Again I hear the call
"Come to me..."
Ready to go back into the fray
Back to a womb of drunken chaos
Adrenaline rising, guides my way
I cannot wait for my return!
Prepare to fly again
Transcending yesterdays
Return? I can't say when
Perhaps we'll find a way
8. Cease The Day
Dawn is a spell to be broken
The night is for drifting on the seas
As the fire becomes cold
There's a story to be told
Life's embers floating on the breeze
We never will return to this day
A memory is all you'll bear
Life's seasons changing fast
So cherish 'til the last worn care
Overcome
Dawn is a dreamer to be woken
The darkness a time to turn away
When the memories you hold
Are worth more than foolish gold
Hear the calling
Time to cease the day
