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

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

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

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

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

Excess
00:06
|

Take no drug
Taste no flesh
No part of their excess
No

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?

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

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

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
|

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
|

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

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.
