Last night, I had a dream that the world as we know it, was on its knees, saying, “no more I can’t take it, please. Really, how long did you this was going to last?” Everything that we thought we knew, well it was all gone up in a puff of smoke of lust and greed. Always wanting more, we didn’t stop to think what was behind the door. It’s a good thing that I was dreaming. It’s a damned good thing that I woke up when I did. Consume, consume, well it’s all we knew. Because we didn’t stop to think what we were doing. They say you shouldn’t shit where you’re going to eat, but it was piling up all around our feet. It’s a good thing that I was dreaming. It’s a damned good thing that I woke up when I did. And I was dreaming Oh, I wish I was dreaming…

Bones 04:24
All the books in the world, could not teach you about the sound you hear with your soul when life is unfolding now. You plant your feet on the ground and stick your head up in the clouds. Countless things to be found with an open mind and hungry heart Feel it with every inch, every ounce of your bones Feel it with every inch, every ounce of your bones Because when you blink it will almost be time to go home Feel it with every inch, every ounce of your bones The taste of wine on your tongue and passion on her lips. A warm smile from the sun and a whisper from the wind. Watch the waves kiss the shore, as a cozy fire roars. Under the moon and the stars there's magic to be found Feel it with every inch, every ounce of your bones Feel it with every inch, every ounce of your bones Because when you blink it will almost be time to go home Feel it with every inch, every ounce of your bones

Plugged in, but I don’t feel connected. Wired, but I don’t know what’s expected. Does anyone? We’re all trying to answer the call, But who’s on the other line? Your heart or your mind? Way too alive to feel so dead. I pace back and forth when I’m lying in bed. I’ve been over it, it don’t seem to make sense. When I close my eyes I hear the silence. I top my cup up every day, in different ways, but I want it to overflow. We’re all playing the waiting game, but what are waiting for? No one is keeping score. Way too alive to feel so dead. I pace back and forth when I’m lying in bed. I’ve been over it, it don’t seem to make sense. When I close my eyes I hear the silence.

On My Arm 04:02
There’s a chance I won’t remember your name tomorrow. But it’s completely insane to throw all this chemistry out the window. Come on, live dangerously A brief romance. Let’s see how you are under cover. Baby please let’s just please one another. A friend, a shoulder, and a lover. If nothing else, we’ve got now And what are you afraid of? Is it falling in or losing love? Well, who knows where we’ll end up? So for now, just fall… into my arms Break it and bleed it on my arm. Take it or leave it on my arm. Dream it and make it on my arm. There it is. Heartbreak is what you’re afraid of. Who cares? Let’s shake off the labels. Sometimes faith is what it’s made of. Tomorrow may never come… And what are you afraid of? Is it falling in or losing love? Well, who knows where we’ll end up? So for now, just fall… into my arms Break it and bleed it on my arm. Take it or leave it on my arm. Dream it and make it on my arm.

And I wish you knew What it’s like to split in two Have your best friend at your back With a knife he will attack The unsuspecting half While he smiles and has a laugh At the good things in his life Free from struggle and from strife But the strife he cannot see Is the one that’s made by “me” Build it up to knock it down With a night out on the town And it grips you like a child With a hold so tight, yet mild Tell yourself that it will pass With a good kick in the ass You’ll be smarter in a day Or two, who knows? Maybe When you’re there you’ll have arrived And on that day you’ll have thrived But when does that day come? Always going where you came from Running around in circles now If only you knew how To get where you want to be full of vim and struggle-free but what does that even mean? mind and body that is lean He’s the smallest man on earth Who is afraid of the width and girth In his life and of this world Will he ever find that pearl?

Song for Her 03:57
She goes home, and she feels alone No more playing in the streets No one is calling on the phone She is on her own in a world unknown Seems like every eye in the world is watching from above What do you do when you’re told you have to perform? Living your life on display, just file in and conform You’re getting old, so you’re told And nobody wants you anymore Can’t she see? Well she’s not like me. Maybe a little nip and tuck, she’ll improve with any luck She’s almost there, but beware She’s never going to feel like she’s getting anywhere What do you do when you’re told you have to perform? Living your life on display, just file in and conform You’re getting old, so you’re told And nobody wants you anymore Hang in there…

In a While 04:48
A quarter of a century. When I look at me, I wonder where I would be a generation ago. How things moved slow. But, there she was, baby boy, so happy. When I think of us now, some say lazy, some say crazy, some say we’re living in the fast lane and they feel our pain. But it’s the pain that makes me feel alive What did I do to, who did I give to to know you well? I’ve been blessed to share the best with all of you. These are the days that we’ll look back at with a smile. And if we part friends, well it’s not the end, See you in a while, crocodile Where will I go? What will I be? The spotlight is shining on me Smile, we are here. Let’s take a vow to not let the future take from the power of now. So just surround yourself with positivity. These are the time of our lives. Won’t you embrace them with me?

I think I can admit that I’m ready to be loved. Though it’s hard to resist that look of “I wish I was… …pressed into your hips and locked in your gaze”, oh But how can you give all of yourself when you need every ounce for your own? So hop on a plane and fly in search of what you think that you’re missing. Can that plane fly into your heart? Because it’s 10,000 miles to that Seoul But it’s closer than the one that’s right here at home. What’s right at home? Don’t start it up to fight it off in spite of what you’ve done. You’ve bought it all and sold it off and now you’re on the run. Just pick it up and finish it, the world is at your feet. You’ve got a lot to give in love, start by taking it easy on yourself. I want to make a living by making people feel those things that are locked up inside, those things they’re afraid are real. But living a life like that is food for the soul, but it doesn’t put food on the table. Am I able? Don’t start it up to fight it off in spite of what you’ve done. You’ve bought it all and sold it off and now you’re on the run. Just pick it up and finish it, the world is at your feet. You’ve got a lot to give in love, start by taking it easy on yourself.
