We Are Safe 03:51
LYRICS We are safe Everybody's worrying about the world today But we are safe Even if we break it down it will be built back up again 'Cause that's the way Everybody knows that energy can be created but not erased And things will change Just like the bottom of the ocean gets washed away everyday But the sea remains We are safe

LYRICS Life is nothing but a dream I believe, the dreamer is everything in the dream Who's dream am I? I've found myself a thousand times, in my dreams, in my I've lost myself a thousand times, in my dreams, in my I've loved myself a thousand times, in my dreams, in my I've fought myself a thousand times, in my dreams And it's like a circle that never stops going 'round and 'round 'Round and 'round Life is exactly what it seems Tell me, how can anything be anything other than what it is? We can dream I'm gonna bleed with everything in my dreams When I cut my enemies, in my sleep, in my I've found myself a thousand times, in my dreams, in my I've loved myself a thousand times, in my dreams, in my And sometimes it makes me so dizzy that I feel like falling down Falling down Life is nothing but a dream I believe, the dreamer is everything in the dream Who's dream am I? I've found myself a thousand times, in my dreams, in my I've lost myself a thousand times, in my dreams, in my I've loved myself a thousand times, in my dreams, in my I've lost myself a thousand times, in my dreams And it's like a circle that never stops going 'round and 'round 'Round and 'round

Madeline 02:40
LYRICS Madeline, run away from here Get yourself out while you can In this life, I've seen you die so many times There's no more reason to cry Madeline, you have nothing to fear In living this life like it's the last So say goodbye to the 'round and 'round Of chasing your dreams into the ground 'Round and 'round, we go 'round and 'round Chasing our dreams into the ground 'Round and 'round, we go 'round and 'round Chasing our dreams into the ground Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Madeline, you're so awake and alive You set the whole world on fire Don't look back, you're safe in the stream This life was nothing more than a dream to you 'Round and 'round, we go 'round and 'round Chasing our dreams into the ground 'Round and 'round, we go 'round and 'round Chasing our dreams into the ground Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Move 04:21
LYRICS All the days gone by The sun is setting down What if all the holes in the sky Were heaven looking out? Would it see a mother without a child Or a king without a crown? If there was a place where all your dreams came true Would you go? Would you move from where you are? Or would you hide behind your scars? Just like you do right now Would you still be who you are? On the other side of the world The sun is rising now If I could bring you next to me now Some way, some how Just like the moon pulls the tides Without the heavens crashing down Tell me, if there was such a place Where all your dreams came true Would you go? Would you move from where you are? Or would you hide behind your scars? Just like you do right now Would you still be who you are? All the days gone by The sun is setting down

My Place 04:24
LYRICS If we are the answers to the questions that we ask Then tell me why I don't feel satisfied? When everything we do feels like it's building up to something Something may never come I want to settle down Now and forever So tell me why I can't find my place The sugar melts in my mouth just like everybody else But when the feeling goes away I don't want to be myself If everything we are is everything we do And everything we think and feel What will happen when we leave this world behind And we can no longer do? I want to settle down Now and forever So tell me why I can't find my place The sugar melts in my mouth just like everybody else But when the feeling goes away I don't want to be myself When the feeling goes away I don't want to be myself I want to find my place The sugar melts in my mouth just like everybody else But when the feeling goes away I don't want to be myself When the feeling goes away I don't want to be myself

Slaves 06:09
LYRICS The bridge is broken And everything I've ever loved Is stranded on the other side I feel so far away from home I see you standing there And I'm caught within your perfect stare And I am hanging on every breath you breathe I want so bad to be free But I am chained to the illusionary Captivation that I've felt since my earliest day I don't want to feel it any more Won't you take it all away But I see you standing there And I'm caught within the wave And I'm hanging on every breath you breathe

LYRICS A wise man said It doesn't matter if We're caressed or we're whipped We're all still slaves And I'm so tired I just want to go home I just want to go home A wise man said It doesn't matter if We're bound by blood or love Or wrapped tight up in chains We're all still slaves I'm so tired Oh won't you take me home I'm so tired Oh won't you take me home A wise man said It doesn't matter if We're caressed or we're whipped We're all still slaves We're all still slaves We're all still

Toe The Line 04:36
LYRICS Some people say that life can't exist without light I say, maybe it can You just wouldn't be able to see it The sun's been gone for a while now And I'll be glad when it comes 'Cause I'm so very alive right now And I know that the sun is gonna come up one more time for me One more time Some people say that time can't exist without mind But I say, maybe it can But you would never know it The sun's been gone for a while now And I'll be glad when it comes 'Cause I'm so very alive right now And I know that the sun is gonna come up one more time for me One more time One more time One more time

Refuge 09:57
LYRICS Last night I woke from a dream Suddenly In a stream Now I see So clearly What it means To always be changing Tell me, did God make man? Or did man make a God? And where are we In the scheme Of all that be? Blind reaction From a muddled mind Do we have a free will Or are we just toeing the line? Is the whole world Our bodies and minds Intelligent design? Or are we Slowly Evolving From monkeys Climbing trees? Tell me, did God make man? Or did man make a God? And where are we In the scheme Of all that be? Blind reaction From a muddled mind Do we have a free will Or are we just toeing the line? Blind reaction From a muddled mind Do we have a free will Or are we just toeing the line? Toeing the line Toe the line
