Avalon 01:22
Looking out of the play set Saw her sitting all alone I was climbing higher still Would you like to talk a while? Dreaming in my bed that night Saw her dancing on the stars Reaching high I yelled to her Could you come down for a while
3.
Ya, I'll meet you there By the hole in the fence We could walk to the pond And then walk right back In the end Whatever brought us to this place I know will stay for good Ya, I'll meet you there Underneath the ash I gotta do my chores And then I'll meet you there I'm so glad to see you here And the sun is shining down I brought snacks to share with you We could eat them at the park Teacher says I've got detention She don't know that someone's waiting Slip through the halls when no one's looking Slip outside and run to safety Spot you as I climb the hill Underneath the old ash hill You don't mind my knees are muddy From falling down while I was running I'm so glad that we are here And the sun is smiling down The world is ours that's what I think And with a push and a wink You send me rolling down the hill Let's just have fun instead
4.
The Words 04:33
Our talks do you think about them In class or in your bed? Sometimes when I'm unsure I think of things you've said I'm searching for hints or clues In all of the things you do I've been trying for so long But there's so many things you do The way you walk and hold your pencil Can't help but to notice Sometimes I try to act brave Sometimes I think you know Are you searching for the words? The biggest ideas are stuck in my head There are things I just can't quite say They are growing every day
5.
Going Around 03:44
I've found a girl She don't mind Wasting time Lying on the floor Talking 'bout Nothing much Oh, Help me! When we're in class My mind it wanders Time just won't pass And when we hold hands The birds all sing The greatest things Oh, Help me! When she kisses me My legs give out My eyes can't see
6.
Stay with Me 07:58
When I was a kid I heard about These two that tied strings around their wrists And anywhere that one would go The other'd go I kind of thought we were those two But lately are string is coming loose Lately our string's begun to fray Would should we do Can't you see The breeze moving thin leaves In to the faint Darkening distance A glimpse in to Unraveling wonders Unleashed by The now forsaken Paths we tread I think we may have gone too far Hop a fence we can head back home Your eyes are distant, Not this time I need you know Words expressing nothing at all Carried away by the endless torrents of rain Pounding like hammers on my mind Drowning out your apologies Or is it me that can't accept it? Stay with me
7.
Warning 03:59
The sky heaves open But they do not say Headless children crawling Closer to me The wind carries blossoms Of cherry trees She catches the blackest The radiant Queen Through walls she walks She in no one Hold on where have you gone? Lost, weary, and lost This maze is expanding Hold on doesn't it end On stars now she rest I reach out toward her Hold on Gone are the flowers We walked through Bathe in the summer The night sky The night sky breathes Her eyes move all Oh, Great sun Have I found you? Is this done Arms around You've become the quietest sound Beauty leaves replaced by what? When left with nothing cling to love Opened wide you fill my eyes Covering the starlit night

Dream II 08:10
It's not the kind of thing you'll feel When you're alone beneath the wheel It comes to you at times like these It's not the kind of thing I think That anyone could hope to know It comes to you at times like these Why can't we just talk? It's getting hard to think at all This wall that we have built I'd rather knock it down instead It's not the kind of thing you'll see When brighter lights are shining down It comes to you in times of dark It's not the kind of thing, I think That anyone would to be When it comes to you... you'll see Do you think of me? Like I think of you? I still think of you We were burning for the words To take away the things that we both knew were wrong I'll leave you all alone with yourself I'll leave you all alone with this song Do you think of me? I hope and pray you know that I still think of you I'm burning up but still I only think of you In my head there is a thought that no one knows And there it stays In my home there is a room where no one goes It's there I wait On my arm there is a scar I made for you To never forget In my head there is a thought that no one knows To find you again Words collapse in to the sun You alone could leave me here You alone would leave me here Don't forget me When they come for you which we both know they will Keep your memories close Be strong In the spring there was a time I shared with you But now it's gone Did you feel it at the bottom of your toes Coming up from the bottom to the top? Did you feel it at the bottom of your soul? I felt it, too I still see you at the bottom of the stairs Running up from the bottom to the top I can catch you fall But this is your last chance

She wanted to see The things that she'd known When she was with me She laid in her bed And filled up her head With times that we'd spent Ici je peux voir clairement Dieu, je peux voir à l'infini I needed to see The things that she sees Now that she's without me So deeper I went In search of her mind And found myself there Emerging sun-drenched I feel alive All is clear now in my mind I will see this through The straight path curves There west it lies And never near Til sun does fade She lifts her arm in grace All that follow, paths extend Projecting beyond condition Attracting all that can be known A bondage not escaped It's only to be with you my friend My days have been nothing now that you've left But when I wake the things that I'll see I'll know there not for me I've had some bad dreams and the felt so real I'm starting to feel that enough is enough Trapped as I am I stay where I am Keeping light out is all that I want When I wake the things that I'll see I'll know there not for me And those that wander apart Who would wander apart? She wanted to see The things that she'd known Back when there was me And when she awoke She went back to bed And did not dream In here I can see forever But I must go now or I'll die here

Avalon 05:58
A fall was coming from the start When I colored you the heroine It's getting hard to tell If I'm pursuing just another one Are you one of them? Only time will tell But either way I know This was coming from the start A boy awakens all alone on a beach He is naked, badly beaten His legs are shackled to the sands As time passes he builds his masterpiece A castle made of swept away to the sea All alone on my bike This is what I'm bringing you And so I ride, forever west, To gather the remains Across the plains, through mountain pass More til the ocean still And finally rest, to look beyond The land for which I search Again I ride, I'll always ride To California Forgive me there's no note I did what I was forced to What could I have even said? I did what I was forced to I must follow my heart And it leads me far from you I couldn't be yours for long We both knew I couldn't stay But I was yours for a little while

The Ocean 05:02
I had no wisdom And yet you taught me Illuminated, beyond conditions Water is clear to the bottom Where the fish swims Without moving The sky is vast and boundless Where the bird flies away And disappears Just one word Of a poem is better Which if a man hears He is quiet This being that appears Then loses Every meaning The withered tree spoken of Is nothing but the ocean drying up An ocean does not retain What is the ocean? Free of forms All good and bad In time will pass All at once Grasping and not grasping that The sky is vast and boundless Where the bird flies away And disappears
