Wind, surf, sun, and sea
All melting into the dew Suspended between you and me Seconds chip the wall away Between now and the new century Clouds, rain, stars, and planets Hang in the balance The stillnes echoes our quiet mouths As we await only Time itself Millennium Moon Rising across the water Selene comes to cast her silent spell To lay beside us with eyes of silver She glitters among the stars Love, hate, passion, desire All melting into the night Between arctic ice and desert fire Tears, laughter, joy, and sorrow Hang in the balance As we pass through the barrier Beyond today and into tomorrow Selene dances her intimate weave As she beckons us into eternity 02. Evident Dreams
I was walking,
down the echoing hall just listening to the sound ...of evidence I was looking for the light in the archway there what does it hide? I see your eyes in the brightness, looking down, with a tear there dripping It's so cold there... It's so cold there... I keep walking, and you seem to follow my every step, not giving me time to rest Why don't you reach out and touch my mind? Instead, you just hover near I see your eyes in the brightness, looking down, with a tear there dripping It's so cold there... It's so cold there... Why can't you see my eyes burning from your glare in the shadow of evergreens? The shadows you're searching are hiding precious mettle, although you may never see it's worth. I see the light fading from your eyes; no more tears there dripping 03. Perigee
[Instrumental]
04. Euphoria
Ocean's salt never ran so sweet
Your soul wails, high-pitched, complete Seeing reds and blues and greens On a glowing, silent screen Euphoria Moon's tide washes over you Undulating, change the hue The center of your universe Is driving you into reverse Euphoria Innocence and consequence And this one makes you whole Dancing on the earth you see The solid spirituality What makes you happy? Euphoria 05. Learning Curve
I heard laughter on the phone
Your voice always made me sigh I saw faces at your window The bass of your music turned way up to "high" I walked into your room Why were so many lights out? Your friends seemed to rush right by What did I hear that one shout? You poured me a drink, gave me a chair And asked me to sit down When I asked where everyone was, you said, "Oh, they'll be around." But you turned the music low Pulled me gently to my feet Said you knew I wanted to dance I didn't know the dance would be so complete What were you thinking? What skewed your mind? I wanted to be there You made it a crime What I thought was my debonair friend Vanished before my eyes The gentleman I'd known was gone A monster beneath the disguise I can never remember The night is always blurred I think what you said was a half glass of wine Held more than your lying words Your friends knew it better than I I was good for a laugh and a stare Your fun at all my expense Another fraternity dare I've envisioned your torture What I could do to you You're not even worth plotting a course In the end, your own soul will tell true What were you thinking? What skewed your mind? I wanted to be there You made it a crime 06. Alternate Reality
If we were together
In another dimension Without morality's measure Or metaphoric contention Imagine the solace We could find No reason to transgress In body or mind Just feel what you want to feel Just need what isn't real In another time Maybe we were there In a pose supine Tangibly aware Drinking in the chaos Of multiplicity A disappearing kiosk Of mental ecstasy And feel what you want to feel And need what isn't real I can almost taste it But cannot touch Begging to erase it Never need so much Is it all a dreaming? Is it somehow true? The other side is seeping Through to you So feel what you want to feel So need what isn't real 07. Earth Dreams

08. Electronic Exotic
I am silk,
I am soft, I am dreams for you I am warm, I am real, I am what you feel when you're alone Plug in, turn on, lay back Velvet interlacing Transmit Recieve Dedicate Don't make it quick Electronic exotic I am wind, I am rain, I am cloud in your eyes I am cold, I am dark, I am discoveries yet to behold Log in, power on, play back Velvet interfacing Transmit Receive Replicate No magic trick Electronic exotic Everything I saw Every thing I touched Electrified the taste of your lips Everything I had Everything I feel Electrifies your touch on my skin I am cool, I am fire, I am blood of desire I am flesh, I am stone, I am ancient mystery and future unknown Electronic exotic 09. Full Moon
See who you think you are
Somewhere out of time You always thought that you'd go far Thinking the world was benign So many faces in so many worlds Singing in sickening tongues Your head seems to writhe And your body uncurls When you're touched with the shimmering light Full Moon, shining low Pulling our minds through the embers of time See through the patterns above Look to the meanings you'll find Always the ending is love You've got to be willing to climb Full Moon, shining low When the leaves say nothing And the wind is still When the darkness Drowns your eyes Then the wisdom you've found Will soon make you ill If you aren't listening To their cries Full Moon, shining low Pulling our minds through the embers of time Each one is holy and each one is real No one is anyone's right Each one is darkness and each one is old Each one must come to the light 10. Apogee
[Instrumental]
11. Altar Of Desire
I woke up, sweating, in the middle of the night
The heat of fantasy spinning in my veins Just one confession from you Pours down on me like hot summer rain Outside the window of reality Headed for a breakdown, nothing I can do I turn around and burn for you Some things I don't believe in; I question my own faith A separation between virtue and sin As I fight with the shadows, alone with my thoughts The fever burns ever higher I kneel at the altar of desire You walk in torment down a lonely street Images of the heat dance on the wet, black stones Just one confession from me Tells you whether you're near or alone Outside the window of reality Scenes of a lifetime reflected in your eyes We cross the chasm into shame Some things you believe in; you can't deny your faith Intent on who you are and where you've been As you stand in the shadows, alone with your thoughts You find the fever burns higher And kneel at the altar of desire Headed for a breakdown, nothing we can do We are helpless, out of control We turn around, disappear in the heat of the fire Chained by our passions at the altar of desire 12. Worry Beads
What do you wear around your neck?
A good-luck charm, I suspect To keep you safe on your way Does it keep the world at bay? Does it mean you never lead yourself astray? Do some living in your life You never know what you might find You never have to be unkind to anyone Don't be blind We are all entwined Don't be blind Seek the divine Put the charms away You won't be needing them today You will know in your heart When it's safer to depart Look up into the sky You can do it if you try Take your faith with you now You will find it somehow Don't you hide in yourself You should know that never helps When you're down turn around If you seek you shall be found Put your faith in the Light In the Truth and you'll be right Any day you will pray And you'll find a better way 13. Doorways
Self-division
Motivation Tiny rooms of allocation Turn the key Lock it in Shut your ears to the noiseless din Enter knowledge Enter fear Enter where your flesh will sear Through the doorways Through the doorways Through the doorways of your existence Topaz eyes remind me of spring Clear-water pods reflect everything As the darkness tries to pull me in There is no hatred here Only love to calm our fear Out of darkness and into the dawn This is how your life goes on Efface emotion Block it out Turn around to find your doubt Ask for joy And welcome pain Before you see your tired body's drained Find your center Find your self While you deal with what you're dealt Through the doorways Through the doorways Through the doorways of your existence Nature's spell runs thick through the night I remember your touch, giving me life Your face so clear in my sight There is no hatred here Only love to calm our fear Out of darkness and into the dawn This is how your life goes on? |
