I can count everything as experience. But sometimes I just can’t get over it, I can’t get away. I have this history I know. I have this history I know I have, I have. And I love, this history I know. I love this history I know I have, I have. Because darkness repeats, darkness repeats. But I don’t know when I’ll fall asleep again. Darkness repeats.

Under the gate into the heart of an old place I am drawn. Who calls so loud? I see your mouth is open. Your lies are so long, so long, so long. Who can believe in fantasy or anyone? When you are scared, when you are bored, do what you wish follow your bliss. I’m still alive. The sky is clear. You scared the shit out of me. When I am bored, when I am scared, do what I wish follow my bliss. Do what I wish follow my bliss.
3.
All the time I am tryin’ to forget, but my heart has different plans. It remembers the day at night, and my dreams are full of life. In the night trees the night trees, the night trees, the night trees. Nothing lost, everything transforming. And tonight I am longing to be best, and lay my faults to rest. A grain of sand in my hand. I will climb the highest. Climbing a tree, easy to see. None as tough as me. None as good as me. None as beautiful. Nothing lost, everything transforming. Nothing is lost, everything transforming.

Sometimes, I give the impression that I don’t think about life. I don’t want to create, I want to explore. Don’t show me a palace, show me a door. Oh, the lion came to eat my body but he can’t swallow my soul. Take my hand and tell me I should follow for as far as I can go. And so no, I don’t want to go home not yet. I only got here, I don’t want it to end. So no, don’t make me go home, not yet. Because, It’s so beautiful and so frightening. We see a fire burn on the horizon, was the woods the night before. The smoke’s a ladder rising up to heaven but it’s not what we’re walking towards. Because, no, we don’t want to go home, not yet. We only got here, we don’t want it to end. So, no, don’t make us go home, not yet. Because, It’s so beautiful and so frightening. This is the furthest that I’ve ever seen. Doors are up and down the hall. Wonder what’s inside them all. Doors that lead to anywhere, got to ABC what’s there. Got to ABCDecide, where’s a door I haven’t tried? ABCDEast to west, Going on an Alphaquest.

Ivory Tower 02:50
In the myst that rises up, when the morning hits the water, of the man-made river that used to be where I lived. ‘Till I took a walk outside. I found a door that the river washed up one day. It doesn’t open in the usual way. Rusted shut and worn by water, slick to my touch. Must have been floating out there for years. I wanted nothing more. I could have stayed forever on the banks of the city carving steps into the slope. But when I had to leave, I left a lot behind. Heavy rain came, washed my things away. What if I never see them again? I know there’s more to do. I’ll open. There’s further to go. I found a door that the river washed up one day. It doesn’t open in the usual way. Rusted shut and worn by water, slick to my touch. Must have been floating out there for years.

Tournament I 03:03
I wasn’t on time when I showed up. Skipped the line, moved straight through the crowd, and mayhaps made fools of all them. Then I heard the horns call. Then I heard the horns call. Some of you traveled very far. The tournament’s about to start. So, celebrate the love, celebrate the love, celebrate the love. I want to be high in the sky box. Yet I run loops on the field, and wait for my time to ascend. Till I hear the horns call. Till I hear the horns call. Wish yourself up to the top. Don’t ever ask how much it costs. And you just go, and you just go, and you just go, and you just go. Celebrate the love Celebrate the love Celebrate the love I was on the rise, rising with the tide.

Feel the love lifting the waves up. To the moon, swim for your honor. Warriors who don’t want to give up. All of them drown in water.

Don’t think about tomorrow, Just be happy you’re not dead. And that you’re not evil hearted, you’re just fucked up in the head. And when madness comes around, tries to glue you to your bed. Don’t think about your shadow or the way your move your tongue, now it’s an echo on the sidewalk and you don’t like what you’ve done. You are tied to a deadman, he wants to pull you down. I would face 1000 knives if it meant staying alive. You are tied to a deadman, he wants to pull you down. You think your crazy’s more than some regular Charlie Brown. He stuffs you in his minivan, he drives you outside town, he’s tied together your hands can’t roll your window down. He dressed you like a trash can, to suck that garbage down. Disposed of your attention span to make you stick around. I would face 1000 knives if it meant staying alive. There’s no trouble I can’t see it. None of that could ever kill me. Sitting where you landed put your fingers to the ground. Touch is the sensation that proves your right to be around. When they make you leave your home and you’re scared of what you’re told, don’t think about your future or how you have lost control.

(Josh Stephens narrative) It’s actually, what’s funny is, the day I found out that I had graduated High School I took off work and went out drinking. And, uh, I woke up early, yeah, I was doing the dishes and the lights flickered, and there was a huge explosion. So I ran outside to see what it was. And, uh, I noticed the sky was a greenish-red color. It was weird. And, uh, I go to the front of my building and I look around, and I didn’t notice anything. Then I see a bolt of lightning strike accross the street. So I realized I had walked into an electrical storm. And, uh, I turned to go back inside, and I looked above our building, and it was arking, the lightning started to ark over my building. And the arking was so bright it literally burned my eyes. I could feel it. And as I started to run towards the building I felt static electricity starting to come up through my body. And lightning struck the building right next to mine and actually cracked the gas lamps. The lightning clapped and the little windows of the lamps ...

Old Emperors 02:39
I know you think you’re alone. I know you think you’re alone! Well I’ve got something to show you. City of the old emporers, they used to have a love for all letters. There are 25 for english words, but there’s nothing to say. Everybody’s got a couple lines, everyday they try to memorize. They don’t know the reason or the rhyme, but they like the sound. Why are you so surprised? Been this way 100 years. Don’t you know that you look funny when you run away. City of the lost emporers, gotta build a wall to hold them in. 1000 years of little accidents, can’t let them get out. When you break them down to little parts. The shattered bony bits of who they are. They are start to look a lot alike, and a lot like you. Please don’t be so surprised this is just the way things are. Don’t you know that you look funny when you run away. If you go, you’ll be back. Can’t escape your life’s path. Don’t you know that you look funny when you run away. Please don’t be so surprised this is just the way things are. Don’t you know that you look funny when you run away. If you go, you’ll be back. Can’t escape your life’s path. Don’t you know that you look funny when you run away.

Warm brick porch, don’t ask me anything. Just lay your path behind my back. I am ready to feel good again. I am ready to feel good again. House in the distance, don’t tell me what to do. Just be my friend behind my back, on the horizon. I am ready to feel good again. I am ready to feel good again. Try to hit it home that I’m going on my own. Try to hit it home so I walk out in the cold. Try to hit it home that I’m going on my own. Try to hit it home so I walk out in the cold. Try to hit it home that I’m going on my own. Try to hit it home so I walk out in the cold. Reminds me of the winter spent outside by the fire alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alrght. I am ready to feel good again. I am ready to feel good again. I am ready to feel good again. I am ready to feel good again.

Oh honey, why’d you want me to be happy? I never did. Oh, honey, if you only knew the old days were gone for good. Without your past you can’t expect to deserve a future. Those who know know the nothing grows everyday. We should be transforming. We should be transforming. Oh honey, why’d you want me to be happy? I never care. What promise did they offer for you to stay the way you are? Can anything be worth so much you refuse to leave it? Even if it means the end of your life? Without your past you can’t expect to deserve a future. Those who know know that nothing grows everyday. We should be transforming. We should be transforming. Transforming. Transforming. Transforming. Oh honey, why’d you want me to be happy? I never did. Oh, honey, if you only knew the old days were gone for good. Transforming.

Starheart 03:15
Try too hard now look what you did, a slipping point. Like you don’t believe anything’s predictable. Do you stay true to you? Got a star inside your heart, it never feels at home. Wants to go somewhere wonderful, a place that you don’t know. Do you stay true to you? Blast off and let it take you. And in time it can change you. Not the person you were, nor who you are now. You want to open up, and come back down to earth. You seem so ordinary, but so true.

24 Hour 04:21
The heat has melted you into parts. And now you can choose who you are. Clouds go by behind houses on a hill. I see you getting a feeling. Can you share it with me? Have you thought about it? Does it make you laugh? It’s so rare to see early morning. We all want to sleep and nothing wake us. You are how you were at the start. Swiming to the place in my eyes. Golden eyed fishes, made of wishes. It’s so rare to see early morning. We all want to sleep and nothing wake us. It’s so rare to see early morning. We all want to sleep. The 7 of wands struggles on, overcome. The weakness is valor. It’s trying but it’s not enough. You are how you were at the start.
