Closer 01:25
Break the heart Consume the mind darkness take the guiding light And this... This hurt could break the will Pray to find the strength inside To move closer still A sense of grief can't be escaped A painful truth that must be faced A hurt so deep that It could break the will move closer still
2.
Reason 01:24
A simple choice When you consider what it means to end a life With thoughts, feelings and a soul But we take without thought because we have the control Mercy - it's yours to give And you decide who dies and lives Voice of reason Death, torture, captivity Does this reflect humanity? see how fast our ideals fold When they're in the way of what we think we're owed Life or death, it's your choice to make And the blood on our hands is the blood on our plates. Let your voice of reason be your guide your conscious telling you what's right to decide Compassion guiding you to maintain the path of peace in a world gone insane So listen Voice of reason
3.
Free 02:00
Aggression and fear Always seek control Scratch and claw for security But the harder we try, the harder we fall When barriers are broken And we have equality When love has the power To help a blind world see When all of this is done We will be free Ignorance and craving We treat each other like prey Can't take the pain that comes with change So, we go on the attack again I know it can be done We will be... free We will be free When we've brought to an end Our drive for conflict And our need to defend We will be free When we become the light Of the break of dawn In an endless night We will be free
4.
Beyond 02:04
I suffer and you suffer And we're so alone Behind the walls of isolation The soul finds desolation So reach beyond the self Reach out to someone else It's time to reach beyond the self We've learned to hide inside and be self-obsessed Will we try? Will we dare? To show who we really are In our loneliness Silence is the voice of death So reach beyond the self
5.
Still 02:07
The few that strive to engage to make a difference and work for change With ideas and action, music and words Improve ourselves and improve the world When it crumbles, when it ends, Pick up the pieces, start again We'll start again The few that make the most of life Challenge the wrongs to do what's right a step apart, got the vision to see the few, the true, you and me "It makes no difference" is what they say Our ideas are just cliché But I've seen change, and so have you feel it in our attitude Can't hold back the energy, can't deny the truth The few, the true, it's me, it's you They can try, but they can't deny
6.
Excess 00:06
Take no drug Taste no flesh No part of their excess No
7.
Unexpressed 02:47
Your words stay with me In the quiet hours they speak About our dreams And how easily they break Will we ever forgive? Does a heart of stone Have a hope to live? Time has taught and I've finally come to see That I can forgive Can you do the same for me? I don't want to turn away And leave this unexpressed Found the worst in each other Now can we share the best? Will we ever forgive? Does a heart of stone Have a hope to live?
8.
Response 01:37
Cause my rage, world go blind Against the wall, eye for an eye But my... My response is peace, not war I won't add more aggression to this world My response is peace cause I'm against the wall And one will stand and the other will fall Had your say, and what you get Is my attention, not respect And peace is my response Eye for an eye is how you want this to go For one to stand and the other to fall But reflection has opened up my mind And I want to see beyond my side Peace is my response
9.
Higher 00:34
Drugs and booze won't waste my time Smokes and pills I'll step aside The next step up My mind is straight I see through clear eyes I chose to get wise That way of life, it's not for me Won't get trapped by the habit Locked in a vacancy Free, I'm staying free
10.
Refraction 01:27
Building up urgency To learn and grow constantly Dwelling on life's purpose And what more that I️ can give Thinking that every wall Despite its might will still fall A trust we keep And it runs deep These words still pray To keep the faith each day To face the darkest of nights As the brightest day - face it An absolute That shines on To guide the way Once dusk has come A trust we keep, and it runs deep
11.
Balance 01:04
The foolish heart gives too much The selfish one not enough The selfish heart takes too much The foolish one not enough So act with compassion For others and for yourself Just like the level That water finds Compassion Balances the mind Trial of the consciousness In the mode of ignorance As we suffer, so we see We can ease all suffering When we act with compassion Listen, speak and act With compassion
12.
Change 03:08
Tear away the things concealing me So much anger And insecurity And I will learn from this pain I will change A stormy season Planted a seed of change It's time to grow Towards the sun again It hurts to let go And I'm afraid It would scare me more To stay the same I won't hold back I will change
13.
Death 01:36
Dancing on the brink of death like there's no end. Yet, each moment could be the last. Within a breath, a life has past. The reality of the end of my life is at the edge of what I can perceive. Death is staring back at me. So, I want to accept That all I love and hold dear Someday will disappear. That time will turn riches to dust. And that wisdom and love Are the only wealth to trust. I want to accept The finality of death. To be reminded to live, And measure each day Not by what I get, but what I give I want to accept That there is an end and it's in sight. So, I will try, to find in every breath life in death.
