Violence 04:43

I see you light my fire, I see you like the way it burns inside Like a fever or a wire, holds you together for a moment in time And now you dance around, as the stars fall down Nothing here can hold you back We’ll find a way around all the ups and downs Hold me closer so I can breathe you in My Enemy, My Friend My Enemy, My Friend I see you walk this way, nothing here but the fear you taste We thought it good to go, never thinking we’d all grow tired and old Of the run around, Rodeo Clown Killing time playing games you’ll never win See you lying low, it’s only a show The war has taught us everything we need to know My Enemy, My Friend My Enemy, My Friend My Enemy, My Friend My Enemy, My Friend

Oceans 04:11
Let me see ya see ya see ya hands surround me And let fire fire fire burn up the ground And let oceans stand up and rise around me And let the wars be silent for just one moment for me Because there’s nothing we can do to stop this cold And there’s so much here that we never ever should’ve known Why can’t you put that gun down baby darling why can’t you see? There’s peace in the silence, and love for the moment, and joy for the broken, just be. Let me see ya see ya see ya hands surround me And let fire fire fire burn up the ground And let oceans stand up and rise around me And let the wars be silent for just one moment for me Many of them fools try to tell me that it’s all right Buy all the goods and take the drink you’ll be just fine. When will they understand I am no longer a part of this system. System tomfoolery, social conformity, moral majority, can’t hold me. Let me see ya see ya see ya hands surround me And let fire fire fire burn up the ground And let oceans stand up and rise around me And let the wars be silent for just one moment for me, for me yeah… Cause I believe I believe in this moment Cause I believe I believe in this song Cause I believe I believe in this revelation Cause I believe I believe in you

Separate 05:57
Your eyes, were wide, and the color of summer Refresh the scene, in the cool of winter Seems like the end, but if you catch me in time I’ll be the wind beneath your sails I’ll be the wind beneath your sails If you’re lost and you can’t find your way just Separate from everything you are And everything you want, now… Sometimes it’s the moments that make you Sometimes it’s the love that breaks you down It breaks you down In time you’ll see the good in me And I won’t let you down And I won’t let you down In time you’ll find, what’s the meaning of life And I won’t let you down And I won’t let you down Clean air this love, is the reason I’m living We fight we dine, at the table of the future It’s clear my love, that we’re clinging to nothing I’ll be the wind beneath your sails I’ll be the wind beneath your sails

Evidence 04:56
I’m a force, no power Pull for sixteen hours Something for me to love Something for me to love You got a good smile, but sharp teeth You got the sour that tastes sweet Something for me to love Something for me to love And all the while you stand and stare Time tells there’s nothing there Something for me to love Something for me to love I’d let go but there’s nothing left But I’ve got the evidence Something for me to love Something for me to love We run far, but too fast To find love and make it last Something for me to love Something for me to love And all the while you stand and stare Time tells there’s nothing there Something for me to love Something for me to love Slow down, you move too fast, slow down… Slow down, you move too fast, slow down…

Light a Fire 04:18
Do you wake up in the moonlight? You can feel this is not the end or beginning All the while they talk to you Leaving nothing open for suggestion I might get old, and I might get tired But we are breaking through When we light a fire, when we light a fire When we light a fire, when we light a fire Do you feel it running through you? This is life, and the blood it pulses hard when you see, All the things they try to sell you. We’ve got dreams to leave it all behind In the ashes, in the flames We are breaking through When we light a fire, when we light a fire When we light a fire, when we light a fire When we light a fire, when we light a fire When we light a fire, when we light a fire

Are you lost? Are you found? Yes it’s strange the way we hit the ground Dig beneath, search for gold Is it too much to feel like we’re not alone? I’m not lost, lost.. One day we fall in love and I won’t leave your side Are you scared? To find yourself above me in the air Baby, come along with me And we won’t care Leave your bags on the train And we stare, a thousand yards not enough… I’m not lost, lost.. One day we fall in love and I won’t leave your side I’m not lost, lost.. One day we fall in love and I won’t leave your side

Calm My Mind 04:38
Sleep again my love, nothing will harm you tonight See the monster we once feared is gone Another time has come, and another time will come soon And we will be free But my heart always recovers, And my mind it is untamed My soul drinks from the river Show me all the eternal ways I once gave my heart to another See the road, the past, it will soon be forgotten You can’t look back now there’s too much good ahead We feed from the branches espousing good and evil But never pay mind to who’s behind the curtain But my heart always recovers, And my mind it is untamed My soul drinks from the river Show me all the eternal ways I once gave my heart to another But the last time it left me, it just didn’t make sense So I need you to calm my mind I’ve seen this twice before and I didn’t realize You see me get away, faster than a speeding train, It’s me driving me insane Everything is all upside down now Everything is turning around, turning around, turning around now But my heart always recovers, And my mind it is untamed My soul drinks from the river Show me all the eternal ways I once gave my heart to another But the last time it left me, it just didn’t make sense So I need you to calm my mind
