For Centuries Street serenades Senseless crusades Weight gives to gravity The pulse that beats behind rib cage From your long and restless sleep, awake! Lift the veil to find out of this maze How long must we wait? How hard must we inhale the breath we take? Chaos called me through concrete Traced the trail of complicated wires While the ground burned beneath my feet I dug through deserts, and dived down into salty seas Searching, searching for freedom How long must we wait How hard must we inhale the breath we take? Ruled by fools And bound by the skins With eyes that look out and out And barely ever can see in How long must we wait? How hard must we inhale the breath we take? Again, again we make the same mistakes And centuries we have ached And centuries more at stake

Between Sky and Sea Under a sky of alabaster We watched the sun melt away The time is now, this is our time, our time.. The moments rushing daylight faster Our pillows wait now for our sleep Instead lets walk and keep on talking About everything between sky and sea Now understand that this is new I’ve tried my best to think it through But you are magic and I’m a fool for illusion Under a sky of navy velvet I placed my heart on my sleeve The time is now, this is our time, our time.. The moments slowing to the rhythm Of night and possibility I hope this evening haunts our hearts Forever and eternally

Sole Fisherman incoming sole fisherman he's drowned in a lonely life of salt corrosion drowned in a lonely life there'll be no great spoils from the market sales, tonight in a small boat named 'fit for a king' he's coming in a spluttering five miles per hour from a big beat box he plays loud hip hop to drown out a lonely life of salt corrosion drowned in a lonely life there'll be a meagre spend in the market shed, tonight good luck, what's good luck? a fat net of fish is good luck fortune, good fortune coming home's fortune enough in a lonely life of gross reduction we drown in a lonely life but there'll be peace within at the dolphin inn, tonight seagulls overhead, circling overhead

The Promise Room Don’t know what I’m doing Playing games with broken toys Putting on this make up Wearing costumes meant for boys All dressed up but underneath so stripped down And with you I feel completely free Free of fear It’s a dangerous game But I’m protected by The arms of this embrace Now I can see right through the rain Like I can taste the sun and hold it again My eyes are the lens to zoom in And swallow your perfection I suspend and hold my breath Exposed in your reflection Understand how I ache to feel your touch Don’t be late open up release the devil hiding Hiding in my heart Cause it’s a dangerous game But I’m protected by The arms of this embrace For now I can see right through the rain Like I can taste the sun and hold it again There’s a young girl picking flowers In the painting on the wall How a good girl pass them hours Pick the petals off them all But me, ain’t got time for tomorrows What if tomorrow, never comes? Cause it’s a dangerous game And it’s a dangerous game It’s a dangerous game But I’m protected by The arms of this embrace I can see right through the rain Like I can taste the sun and hold it again Right in between my hands

Second Guessing If we take a moment here If we double every line If we share the same lifetime You're getting closer Sleeping through routines And keeping company Imagine where we end Imagine where we begin Side by side, we're side by side Won't you please, for once this time Breathe for me While away While I'm under Just to remember the silent days Hardly known and past the prime of this life Second Guessing Overgrown and still the same in this life Never changing Imagine where you end Imaging where you begin Side by side  Where the bodies lie down We were never young We were never tied

Water in our Hands Nighttime, you fall so easily How can I forget? Shadows darkening, light just slips Past your silhouette Cradled in the dreams, dares of distant lands Currents capturing water in our hands Under waves All the way All day long sleep walking Memories float and flicker in my mind Planets orbiting swinging near and far Now we’re traveling beyond our trip to Mars Give up the ways The where the whens the where the whens And now and and thens Cradled in the dreams, dares of distant lands Currents capturing water in our hands Under waves All the way Beneath the stars Beneath the stars

Screen to Screen Hand me my supplies And give me the keys to the getaway car Planes are flying low at a dangerous heights I gotta run now, I gotta go Is it a dream, Or is this some hidden reality in my mind? Climb to the edge Swing from pointy buildings way up high I do a kung fu move and stretch my arms out wide Fall into the diamond sky Is it a dream Or is this some hidden reality in my mind? What was that? Where was I? Here’s my bed but where’s the sky?

Hoko Onchi 04:56
Hoko Onchi Osaka, my city Flows inside me Always beside me Five years of living Still don’t know my way They move the roads around Where they can’t be found Turn around I’m completely lost Don’t go underground That’s even worse An octopus of passages A place of cryptic messages Turn around I’m completely lost Osaka, my city

Come Tell Me 05:18
Come Tell Me Can you hear the part? Something of a start And I want to know What will happen next? Cause ignites effect Yes, I want to go Aren’t you a shore full of treasures I’ve got nothing to lose this time I need someone to understand And I need to find a place to rest my head Please tell me that you’ll be the one No we’re not alone dancing on rooftops We’ve got all the stars Still don’t know your name But it don’t really matter now I know who you are I need someone to understand And I need to find a place to rest my head Come tell me Whisper in my hair The secrets in your stare The mysteries undone That you’ll be the one I will do my best, map what you forget From when we begun I can taste the wind, Wild running round your breath Like air chased from the gun I need someone to understand And I need to find a place to rest my head I’m tired of pretending I don’t really care I want my happy ending I just want my share Whisper in my hair The secrets in your stare The mysteries undone Come tell me That you’ll be the one

Into Powder 04:59
Into powder Wait ‘til you hear Wait ‘til you hear what happens To the little boy who leaves the crowd Until he came on That’s just the way things go The little voice who needs to know Just say you’ll take me with you You really don’t terrify me Fall into a silent sleep You really don’t terrify me Let the targets align Is it so far now? Let’s lay down and take in This same cold day If you must let go, then Just say you’ll make me into powder You really don’t terrify me Fall into a silent sleep You really don’t terrify me Say you’ll make me into powder

The World Is Kind A tiny spark Ignites a fire Suddenly I am whole The world is kind But a moment passes over Before we know it is gone Where do I find Content? How can I feel weightlessness? But a moment passes over Before we know it is gone It’s been too long, too long A tiny spark Ignites a fire Suddenly I am whole The world is kind
