The Problem

The problem with people
is that they’re human beings
No leaps of faith
without that guarantee
Anywhere we ever roamed
Stayed the same and gotten bored
Infernos at our backs
Setting fires forevermore
Deep inside the caves
Who needs eyes to see?
Where dragons transform to serpents
While wolves wade out to sea
Shedding coats that never dry
Taking breath through third eye
Singing songs for a thousand miles
Prey to no one who pales in size
There used to be many different kinds of people
And no one knows

Knock about this house, drag feet across this floor
Guess the passing time, with scratches on the door
The easily amused, the vandals and unkind
Rare among the few, my moonlit valentine
Been waiting here for ages, a beast in the zoo
My scream comes out a whisper
Can you hear me too?
Out in your sunrise town, the colorful pretend
From one end to the other people shop for happiness
I am searching still, retracing all my steps
Surrounded by familiar things
Just like you, more or less

Ok

When I was a little boy in buildings pointed at the sky
They told me how I ought to live and what happens when I die
And even though I was pretty young I almost understood
That all they were trying to do was make sure I'd be good
It's gonna be Ok,
It's gonna be Ok,
It's gonna be Ok,
But I never believed
And after school, learned a few more things
Thought I'd read that God was dead
I didn't care at all; In fact, I knew I'd been misled
With ennui, and my anarchy, a touch of bitterness and some pride
The method of the scientist helped me realize
It's gonna be Ok,
It's gonna be Ok,
It's gonna be Ok,
But I couldn't be sure yet
Beyond this earth and the galaxies is a neverending sky
Infinity is a real thing, just won't fit inside our minds
I'm not alone in this lucky life, and this love could only be
a gift from a universe that's looking out for me
It's gonna be Ok,
It's gonna be Ok,
It's gonna be Ok,
But I'll never know why

Shadow of the Earth

Out there somewhere is a black hole
When we get there, they say time will slow
It's a white whale that keeps us from home
But we won't realize our ship's been destroyed
The story of life is dark and long
A tale of dread, war, and loss
But love is the only weapon we've got
Don't let anybody spoil the plot
So let's stop believing ourselves whenever we say,
"We were born at the wrong time; Meant for a different day"
Children of the Moon
Dawn's coming soon
It's the eve of our rebirth
In the shadow of the Earth

Rocking Chair

Life is short, but when I'm alone
It feels long enough
At times it's rough
When we climb we do just fine
But things seemed so tall
When we were small
All the silly things I've built couldn't compare
The two of us could never fill
Our daddy's rocking chair
There's the ghost I feel the most
Out among the trees
It walks with me
Maybe now I've made it proud
But what's wrong with me?
It's hard to believe
When all the silly things I've built couldn't compare
The two of us could never fill
Our daddy's rocking chair

Be a Part

Don't look for danger whereever you go
Talk to strangers and travel the globe
Be a part of this world as much as you can
And when it gets hard, just stick to the plan
Human connections are easy to make
If you keep a pure heart for goodness sake
Be a part of this world as much as you can
And when it gets hard, just stick to the plan
Take care of the friends you're lucky to know
Take care of yourself whereever you go
Be a part of this world as much as you can
And when it gets hard, just stick to the plan
You'll make your mistakes
You'll even fall down
I'll be there with you
You're a part of me now
You're a part of me now

Crows Will Be My Angels

A mirror reflecting the darkness at your core.

A brilliantly unassuming concept album. I can even hear the ambulance siren, the three knocks, the backwards messages.
