1.
her room 02:48
she dwells in a place hate will never see in her own little mystic room there aren't any walls there isn't a roof just an unbelievable view this room, her room is open to you her room is open to you you don't even know how long the winter she's spent in her little room you don't even know that she killed the coldness with the fire she found in you this room, her room is open to you her room is open to you
2.
in whispers 02:58
in whispers she lives as his eyelids open, close wake me take me home will you remind me what it's like to live will you remind me what it's like to live life in flesh and blood wake me take me home.
3.
all the colors in the world are yours if you want them all you have to do is surrender go and find some grace dig it out from your insides fierce grace all the love in the world is yours if you want it all you have to do is surrender surrender
4.
out there 03:28
in my mind i'm driving down that highway alone it's december, feels like summer and i'm out there alone i'm out here for adventure the adventure, alone in my mind i'm hearing a singing, a song and i'm thinking if you were with me then we'd both be at home in my mind i'm driving down that highway alone it's december, feels like summer and i'm out here alone
5.
the forest 01:38
a long time ago an old man was standing in the middle of the road he wouldn't let me pass he said girl this isn't your path to follow you've gotta find a way to enter the forest alone
6.
never better 02:28
pinpoint holes and superficial cracks allow light to flow from the inside out no camera lens can capture the magic of that and no one can take it away no one can take it away the surface is rusty, adding character with age we've seen so much worse, but never a better day for this change and there's not a single soul who can take real love away no one can take it away no one can take it away
7.
eggshells 02:08
we're only given this one life to live why you gotta be so careful with it i don't wanna walk on these eggshells anymore we're only given this one love to live why you gotta be so careful with it i don't wanna walk on these eggshells anymore

emerson 02:28
he said go where there is no path and leave a trail
9.
hands 03:58
i've never told you the story about a summer night a couple years ago the only time i've seen you play alone no buffer, no filter, no barrier between the sound of your soul and my world and i've never told you the story but my hands they were a'tremblin and it's true, i didn't recognize this as love it's true, i didn't know what the hell it was it's true i knew at the time it was way too much and i've never told you the story but my hands they were a'tremblin
10.
signs of you 02:28
have you ever followed the line on your palm do you find a trace of me there? i ask this of you my dear i ask this of you because i've seen so many signs of you i've seen so many sides of you late tonight when you sleep in the color you claim to see will you go and find me? and will you take the lead? i ask this of you my dear because i've seen so many sides of you i've seen so many signs of you
11.
if this is the way it is if this is the way it is if time goes by like this well i planned on driving for the old familiar escape to save me from the feeling of feeling amplified like this by you
12.
patterns 03:08
it's a loss of all sense it's a loss of control this conspiracy of silence is all i've come to know you're the shapes on the wall playing magic tricks with my eyes you're the artificial lights leaving patterns in my night it's a loss of all sense it's a loss of control your conspiracy of silence is all i've come to know
13.
shoulders 02:08
don't you think you can take the weight of the world off your shoulders one hundred thousand million singin voices there will never be another like yours
14.
this one-way street can't seem to keep from troubling me there must be something wrong with these times
15.
so surreal 01:38
digging a hole for the seeds to grow not everything buried is dead quiet in hiding while we're riding out the storms that blow somewhere overhead living in illusion as long as we need to the best things are so surreal; building a palace out of handmade magic for our world of freedom to feel
16.
september 00:58
if i could sleep in your september
17.
this path 02:08
in the drastic range of shade along this path fading, fading from light to black then back well you're on my mind and i hope this time we'll never have to say goodbye well i close off my life to everything but the sounds the noise of the city so faint and sporadic now well you're on my mind and i hope this time we'll never have to say goodbye
18.
ashes 01:58
if you think the phoenix rises from the ashes well maybe that bird was never dead at all it was never up to you to define her existence and really who do you think you are? you are not the sun you don't have the power to burn that bird was never dead at all never dead at all
19.
i'll count the days of silence on both my hands take myself away until you understand no one will ever take your place
20.
new moon 01:08
they say you'll be home when the new moon comes i've never understood why they say it's new it's the same old moon, it's a brand new you it's the same old maze you send me through on & on & on
21.
i don't really know the way the world works we're all just passing through i can't see the answers through the walls of this room and i don't know what will happen if i keep standing still i don't know why i can't figure it out why i can't get through i can't see your reasons through the walls of this room and i don't know what will happen if i keep standing still
22.
in a blur 02:08
fate lays its hands on me in a move induced by you one by one they pass me by in a blur of little lights looking away, looking away it is as it's always been it's only your choice to make one by one they pass me by in a blur of little lights looking away, looking away
23.
maybe it's better to walk on in silence it's like fragile things crashing into walls or fresh painted words on old river rocks it's the changing colors of the seasons and this grief well maybe it's better to just pick up and leave maybe it's better to walk on in silence watching this world passing me by always from distance, always outside rounding the corner now i gratefully feel small i know it's a miracle to feel anything at all maybe it's better to walk on in silence
