Circles In The Sky

Get up with an empty head
Words flash by that I might have said
But you’re not really here now - now my love
Battle in an empty room
Step in line to the same old tune
But you’re not really here now - now my love
It’s easy…
If you just know how to
It’s easy…
If you wanna try and fly
We’ll make circles in the sky
And try to make circles in the sky
Focus on the in-between
A side of you so seldom seen
But you’re not really here now - now my love
Vanishing without a trace
Take off those shoes stay out the race
But you’re not really here now - now my love
It’s easy…
If you just know how to
It’s easy…
If you wanna try and fly
We’ll make circles in the sky
And try to make circles in the sky
So try to make circles in the sky
Please try to make circles in the sky
Come on and try to make circles in the sky

Mother's Ruin
04:01

Another dragged on through insipid years
You prophesize and drown in all your tears
Hung & cold beyond embrace
The mornin’ sun leaves a bitter taste again
So… question everything boys I should know
But I wake to sleep and take my waking slow
Climbing up a winding stair to where you think it lies
There’s nothing there
Now the sun has cast a shadow over me
Do you have the right to be free?
A mother’s ruin will always take its toll
And all the lies that’s cast won’t save your soul
In the end a test of time
That sits right up and offers no disguise
I remember looking out to sea
I remember wishing it was me
Waves crash 6 foot 2 & 3
I wish that they would wash right over me
Now the sun has cast a shadow over me
Do you have the right to be free?
Now the sun has cast a shadow over me
Do you have the right to be free?
Overboard’s an ocean so make your wish
And I’m telling you this… It’s stick or twist

Words…
They just fall away
Show me a bright new day
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Far…
As the eye can see
You dig on the dirt in me
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Make it break it how you gonna take it?
It’ll all boil down
Choose it use it now you’re gonna lose it
It’ll all boil down
Sink to the bottom with me
Run…
To a no man’s land
Refusing the helping hand
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Sit…
On a strangers fence
To you it makes perfect sense
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Make it break it how you gonna take it?
It’ll all boil down
Choose it use it now you’re gonna lose it
It’ll all boil down
Sink to the bottom with me
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
And again and again and again and again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
Told you before I won’t tell you again
And again and again and again and again

Come Home

Come down the mountain
Come down now
I’ve purged myself for so long
I don’t know how
But I’ve not wanted
To make my way back home
Don’t tell me what to do
Who needs you
My soul it sleeps alone
Come home
Fail or win
I’ll follow my own star
The love I gave could only go so far
So what am I to do?
Please tell
What am I to do?
And you know damn well
Just what I’ll do
Come home
Come up and see me
I miss your smile
Come inside and sit down
Just for a while
So let’s get started
To bring you safe back home
I won’t tell you what to do
We all need you
Your soul dances alone
Come home
Sink or swim
Don’t ever lose your dreams
The love you gave is torn upon the seams
So what am I to do?
Please tell
What am I to do?
And you know damn well
Just what I’ll do
Come home
Come home
Come home
