Rhythm of the Ride
I had a dream that everyone around me
knew me right from the start.
And I found the secret hidden in the stars,
"Stay strong my love".
And I used to think if the world around me
changed I’d get a brand new start.
That if I went down south I’d make it happen,
"Stay strong my love".
(Chorus)
Say goodbye.
I know,
it’s the rhythm of the ride.
And I know,
it will be just fine.
So stay strong my love!
I know it seems we’re outside of the garden,
hearts that have been hardened, closed.
Into the sea, letting go of gravity,
"Stay strong my love".
And I found the key was buried in belief,
the belly of the beast, the war.
And if you feel like you might lose the battle,
"Stay strong my love".
Cause I, rule the night.
And everything around me that’s still trying to hide,
unspotted from the world.

I Choose Me
It comes full circle now,
things that we left behind.
I know that even before it,
even when I was lost,
I had to play the part.
(Chorus)
Say you will,
lift me up if we fall.
Say goodbye,
to the way that we were.
And I give all of my life,
to live in paradise.
I see that it’s the only way.
And I never before,
thought I would, be so strange, in this world.
(Bridge)
Everyone says they want to change.
The steps I walk, the roads I take.
And I’m begging you to grow.
Instead, I choose me.
To the way that we were.

Last Day of August
I had a dream that I was lost before this weekend,
sitting by the fire,
dreaming ‘bout love and harmony.
(Chorus)
On the last day of the universe,
I was taken by surprise and I don’t even know the reason why it happened.
Not just another day.
Never know what can happen.
I had a feeling it was gone before its season,
whispering lady,
singing about love harmony.
Came at a cost and I was tossed out of Eden,
taken by desire,
learning ‘bout love and harmony.
(Bridge)
I was in fear.
I felt alone.
In the empty space now,
in my heart,
in my soul.
I was that place now.

Winter Solstice
Winter’s coming white with snow,
and I don’t want to be left behind.
Seasons they change from the rain to the fire,
into the woods where I find my home.
(Chorus)
And I don’t want to know just where the wind goes.
I don’t want to know,
how it breathes.
I don’t want to know
Fields are frozen with the cold,
bringing stillness to my bones.
Birds they fly free and the bears go to sleep,
into the woods where I find my home.

Lies Fade Away
When everything seems to go right,
there is no reason for a fight.
I’m laying in the green grass,
waiting for fate to take flight.
When everything else falls apart,
when everything feels so wrong.
The hours they are moving on,
destroying everything you’ve got.
Time moves on and earth decays.
Seasons change.
When it all feels the same,
let the lies fade away.
Design in disarray.
The wheels keeps turning on,
for some the time is lost.
Take my hand and we can go far,
deep into the forest trees.
I’ll take you to the fountain,
we’ll live for an eternity.
Time moves on and earth decays.
Seasons change.
When it all feels the same,
let the lies fade away.
I know it’s not too far.
Time moves on and earth decays,
seasons change.
And if you feel like I feel,
I want to know what is real
I want to know what is real

Live Without You
The only thing to stop you now are shadows of above.
I know when we first met it felt like California Love.
Summertime, fruit on the vine, I couldn’t get enough.
I had needs to fill, and that was your thrill, yeah you fit me like a glove.
(Chorus)
But how do I live without you?
How do I know what’s true?
How do I be without you?
Oh give me a reason to stay.
Inside's the only way to find your way out of the dark.
But these thoughts of you, what will my thumbs do, if we are ever torn apart.
Believe in me, I’ll take you back to start.
The screen, it thinks, it knows just who you are.
(Chorus 2)
My whole worlds about you.
Why do I feel this way?
Oh how do I be without you?
Oh give me a reason to stay.

Right Stuff
Walk,
down.
There’s no way around.
Hope you find what you’re looking for.
Find the key.
Open your mind.
Manage your thoughts.
I will be there.
I’ll be your friend (X 2)
(Pre Chorus)
It’s the way that you feel inside.
Gave you a river but it’s all run dry,
like an ocean looking for a tide.
It’s in and out and side to side.
(Chorus)
When we go out tonight,
and the starts are shining bright.
When you get that look in your eye,
"Yeah lets go, yeah lets go, yeah lets go".
You’ve got the right stuff baby,
yeah it’s the right stuff that you’ve got.
Even when the clouds blow in from the sea,
I still see you in the dark.
Fall,
down.
It’s the way you're found.
Hope you find what your looking for.
Find the tree,
a ladder to climb.
Above your thoughts,
beyond your fears.
I‘ll be your friend (X 2)

Dead Sea
(Chorus)
Out in the desert,
under the palm trees.
I feel your gaze,
swimming in a dead sea.
Persimmon forest,
secrets are spoken.
I’ve been invited,
swimming in a dead sea.
Half moon it hangs on the horizon,
faces in disguise sometimes.
I lay back down and go to sleep,
in this heart of mine.
Mirages,
echoes of my thoughts.
They tempt me to the other side.
I know it’s never far away,
in this heart of mine.
Desire comes out of the darkness,
bright flame with a dark wick shines.
Always together intertwined,
in this part of me.
Four hundred layers,
enemies will scatter from the one who sings.
End this entangled energy,
in this heart of mine, my love.
(Chorus 2)
Persimmon forest,
secrets are spoken.
I hear you laughing,
swimming in a dead sea.
(Chorus 3)
Persimmon forest,
secrets are spoken.
Frankincense and Myrrh,
swimming in a dead sea.
(Chorus 4)
Out in the desert,
I find myself.
Out in the ocean,
swimming in a dead sea.
Let it ride, let it be, oh let it in.

Diamond in the Cold
Will you be the one that I call at night?
Cause when it’s dark I see your light.
I bet I could even try,
to see the good inside.
Keep me honest till you’re here.
I remember what was far away.
You’re a diamond in the cold.
Will you recognize your fire?
If I whisper your name once or twice.
If I never look there’s nothing more to find.
And I knew I could get by,
with the wool over my eyes.
You were once on my side.
When it feels like you are far away.
You’re a diamond in the cold.
Will you recognize your fire?

Somewhere in Time
I watched you put your black tie on,
like you’ve been wearing it without a care for all these years.
I heard you singing songs aloud,
with curtains closed, you thought you were all by yourself.
But who do you think you are, hiding thoughts in to the shadows?
Who do you think you are, huh?
(Chorus)
If I’d ever seen your face before, I know I would remember.
The future still remains unknown, what we are shown.
And how do you know what’s real,
with that dark veil over your eyes?
I’ll find the best of you somewhere in time.
You think that being lost inside the darkness will keep you safe from being swallowed whole.
So busy living paralyzed,
a pioneer, the price you pay for power stolen.
Who do you think you are, writing books that rule your own mind?
Who do you think you are, huh?
Shoot your stares, your arrow, to another beating heart.
I can see right through you.
You can pay for no rain on your wedding day.
I can see right through you.

The Yellow Dress
I’ve seen a lot of different people,
it’s the faces that I know.
And I wondered what’s inside,
of the ones that you see grow.
“And it doesn’t mean a thing”.
If it doesn’t mean a thing,
then why am I here?
If it doesn’t mean a thing... (X 3)
Oh, storm keeps me up all night but I’m hanging on.
Doesn’t mean a thing
I know that we’ve up all night but I’m hanging on.
Doesn’t mean a thing. (X 2)
I see the way that I thought it was.
I see it was the rhythm of my thoughts.
When I open the door to the old me,
and I see what was hidden was a fallen soul.
But it’s still my heart.
Leave an open door cause I’ve been waiting for the knock.
It’s still my heart.
So don’t fall asleep.
Wake me in a dream.
Like a fairytale,
I’ve lifted the veil.
And all I see are the happier things.
And all I think are the happier thoughts.
Yellow Dress on, walking through the fields.
Yeah I’m freeing myself so just won’t you let me be?
I know I don’t waste my time at all.
I know I don’t waste it all away.
No, I know I don’t waste my time at all.
I know I don’t waste.
And if you catch me off from time to time?
No, I don’t wanna be that.
And if it blows my mind?
No, I don’t wanna be that.
Yeah, it slips my mind.
No, I don’t wanna be that.
And if it blows my mind?
No, I don’t wanna be that.
Be that.
