SUNLIGHT
When I saw you in sunlight
I knew that the time was right
Oh, why?
When you left me at midnight
I knew that our time had passed me by
Oh, why?
And when I can't see it with my own eyes
I fantasize
Your real world
Is my disguise
Oh, why?
Your unending discretion
I hoped to be on your side
Oh, why?
Your comforting suggestions
Could not help the pain behind my eyes
Oh, why?
Always searching for something real
A feeling that both can feel
Still, long after love had left your eyes
Long after the clock had warned of night
Whoa, still so long I tried
So clear that it had died
And still I can't comply
Still I can't comply

PELAGUS
Like waiting on the sunrise
On the day it never came
Feelings like gravitation
That never go away
Maybe there's somewhere you should be
To seek a small inch of relief
Maybe there's something you should try
before you call it all a lie
If you tell me all your secrets
I might understand your pain
If I can't see the bleeding
You might appear insane
You hide inside the shadow
Seek comfort in the rain
Apparently your choices
Yet the world is to blame
But if that's all that you can see, truly
What are these words coming from me?
And objective view without the full scene
And it's scary how the truth can ring
When your problem is with everything
But above the pelagic
Our lungs are alright
We make our own artificial light
As we stare at the mountains made of sand
And wish we could mold the Earth with our hands
Above the pelagic
Stories are airtight
'Cuz we revise every day and night
Clinging to the drowning juts of land
It sometimes makes me think
My way is not my way
So if you can't hear the singing
And you waste away your days
Just know even the darkest
Of thoughts still fade away
Paint a brave new picture
Make silver out of grey
Rejuvenate the landscape
While you make statues out of clay
But if your mind just can't believe
In any song that we can't currently sing
You'll be a wooden wolverine
At first glance you're menacing
When your problem is with everything
In the dark you're menacing
When your problem is with everything

QUIET ESCAPE
The air is clear and warm
The night is free of storms
A ship rests on the sea
The atmosphere, it blankets me
Nothing's wrong with this scene
Nothing's wrong with me
Still, I slip away from sense
When nothing's wrong with the present tense
I'll search for something new
A fresh wind far from you
Open mind and an open view
Foiled again by simply feeling blue
So I sail away
No reason to stay
Hey, hey, hey
Watch me sail away
Hey, hey, hey
Make my quiet escape
I've waited so long
Just waiting is so wrong
So I think that the time is right for me
To use the sea
And wind to reverse gravity
My anchor's pulled again
Maybe I'll reach the end
Of this flat Earth's flat sea
Fall off the edge eternally
Where nothing's wrong with the scenery...

Unoriginal Repentance

UNORIGINAL REPENTANCE
I dedicate this song to yesterday
And a time when doubts were washed away
By a mothering philosophy
Designed to keep the children out to play
A desire to wipe the guilt away
Created by things we do from day to day
And if you ever felt your soul had been led astray
There's a handful of words you'd need to say
I've sinned before, yeah
I've sinned before
And the people tend to congregate
Around a leader who extrapolates
Modern wisdom from the ancient temple gates
Designed to keep the impoverished at bay
With fear and fervor they facilitate
Religious war or some other subservient state
Evil may not fully penetrate
But there's a level of complicity
I've seen before, yeah
I've seen before
Offer me peace for eternity
Maybe I'm not sure I'd want to stay
But if I ever want my soul lifted away
There's three little words I'll need to say
I've sinned before, yeah
I've sinned before

Poseidon's Wrath

POSEIDON'S WRATH
My mother nature starts a blaze
Fills the sky with smoke and haze
That blaze rages on for days
And our homes are burned away
Forgive the world
It knows not a thing
Forgive the world
It knows not
And you learn the girl's name
And your heart is cast in flame
And you hope her mind might change
As you watch her walk away
Forgive the girl
She knows not what she does
Forgive the girl
She knows not
Whoa
What if she knows?
Maybe she knows?
I think she knows, yeah
I think she knows, whoa
A massive tsunami wave
Turns our coastline into graves
Tell me, is Poseidon to blame?
Does blame ever have a name?

CEILING OF WAVES
A year today
Since my lover went her own way
A year goes by
And it certifies that time does not cure all
And I'll take any advice
That has to do with the passing of time
'Cuz it never seems to cease
And it can drag one under the sea
So low
Solo
Sometimes that's how I have to go
Swim low
Fly high
That's what I do to get by
A year today
Since my good old friend
He passed away
A year goes by
And I've not received a hint of reason why
And I'll take any advice
That has to do with the passing of lives
'Cuz it brings one to his knees
And it can drag one under the sea
Swimming backwards, I can see
All the mistakes behind me
And they keep me floating by
Piling up like clouds of storm
Meant to push me from the norm
And the dregs of normalcy
While in the end, we all want the same
Damn things to keep us warm and sane
Assimilation is a crime
I'll remain just who I am
Propped up by bones and guitar stands
That's enough to keep me high
Your glass ceiling is imaginary
I see a roof of waves
Ride the sine, feel the trough and know
It keeps the crest alive
And I'll take any advice
That has to do with the advancing tide
Coming straight for our city
It means to drag us under the sea
So low
So low
Sometimes, that's how we'll have to go
Swim low
Fly high
It's what we'll do to survive
