Sky Blue 03:39
Arms wide open I understand That your scared That you're scared Vast as the ocean My love for you Are you prepared Are you prepared for what you might find? Bruised and broken Your weary heart Can you feel Oh can you feel love of some kind?

Magic Tricks 05:52
Even though it doesn't work You can buy it for a low, low price Given that I saw it first I will rightfully now claim my prize So, you wanna try your magic tricks Try spinning that plate and watching it break Now I'm trying to make sense of it But all of your slack is holding me back Have you seen the ground glistening? Have you heard the sound of listening? It sounds like... No one lives inside my world But me and I will say what happens here Having faith is very hard When the base of it is laid in fear So you wanna try your magic tricks You're flipping those cards straight from your heart Now I'm trying to make sense of it But I can't explain the one that remains Have you seen the ground glistening? Have you heard the sound of listening? It sounds like...

You live in a world filled with a thick, black haze Spend all of your time stuck in a kind of daze Remember what it was like to look in another's eyes? remember what it was like looking up to the skies? You live in a world where all the doors are locked You've built all around yourself a cold, steel box Remember what it was like to look in another's eyes? Remember what it was like looking up the the skies? Bye-bye to decent conversation Bye-bye, the use of imagination You live in a world surrounded by pecking crows Not seeing the wolves covered in sheep's clothes Remember what it was like to look in another's eyes Remember what it was like before all of the lies? Bye-bye to decent conversation Bye-bye, the use of imagination You live in a world where the green grass grows And the cool wind blows Your tears all away, all away You live in a world where the sunshine plays All across your face And the shadows make a spot of shade For you to lay

The Fool 04:32
Waiting on the morning light I've sat for ages holding tight Wanting to feel the sun I've sat for ages feeling none Give me one more reason I should stay Wait for one more day to throw it all away Staring at this paradox Has complicated all my thoughts It's just another sign It's complicated all the time Why even bother with this pain? Try to understand that we are both to blame No, I won't be fooled by love again I'll plant Imaginary seeds that'll turn into trees That are growing from me that will cover my head No, I won't be fooled by love again I've learned that when you let your heart make the rules Then you both become fools And you don't get to choose in the end The road is at another block We're never moving, why have we stopped? Why can't we get along? The score is losing, what went wrong? Maybe we could make it something fine Back within our memories if we give it time

The city glitters bright when you look up Waters turnin white as you stir it up Cause you're floating through golden foam Yeah, you're floating, floating on home The rapid ripping wind steals your breath from you The salt that's blowing in, you can taste it too Cause it's blowing from the sea And your floating closer to me Wind and water over my head, what can I do? Lift this old load over my shoulder, filled with blues.

Quiet Stars 05:06
Wise beyond your years Here's where you start looking back Eyes up to the sights Right where you stand, in your tracks Wait. Hold yourself still Til there's a quiet beating drum Among the stars We are of and we are Among the stars We are of and we are The Earth
