(Looking at the way I used to follow my own instincts, You were always something that I could feel in my heart. Am I becoming the man that you want me to be? Casting back, casting back. Come on now and let me see your face, I promise I will never do the things I used to do on my own. Am I becoming the man that you want me to be? All the time you were there, all the time you were fair to me.)

Dreamcatcher 04:03
Black painted man you follow the circus and lived all your dreams you found your new purpose through all the sheets and high hanging rope, you look down and choke. All of the accidents that I could have seen, all of the things I could have been, you were a captive and they set you free, from the cold guillotine, the cold guillotine. Oh I keep walking to my own grave Into the open, the end of days Through chapters and sand you travel by steam train with quiet and peace until your bell tolls. You can’t defeat that question inside, why can’t we decide? Why can’t we decide? Fall on the gravel and lift up your head, and straighten yourself, no guilt or contempt. You were the showman the one we look to, for the feeling of youth, the feeling of youth.

Complaisant 04:36
Take the wealth away from the desperate man Take the shorthorns from his continent Through a coin toss he will surely break Darkened from a life of impoverished strain But a faithful heart and a patient mind Will accept the lot, and not begrudge In all we want, and all we need We seem to stop believing if we don’t gain In a black stream he will bite his nails Longing for relief he’s a damaged sail Through the raging sea he loses sight Until a voice heals his wandering eyes But a faithful heart and a patient mind Will accept the lot, and not begrudge In all we want, and all we need If I could trust you, I would have a great soul Roll with the punches I’ll roll with the punches

Did I ever go away? I think I will stay for you Have we ever grown apart? We grow in our hearts In you, I see something more In you, I can feel the warmth Of the biggest heart I’ve ever known Patience is a deep blue sea, And we are sinking deep Gentle wind and cool night skies, as our lives pass us by
5.
In some time I want to grow older and live the path and live the path A selfless man whose conscience is stronger I give myself I give myself To live in this world, with a window to a calling, I want you more I want to know To be close enough, even with a steady barrier, I want you more I want to know How to love without cause, To love without cause (The feeling inside I had to run, I feel in the night a calling us to arms) The innocence I lost in the higher stage will pass me by, will pass me by I need a sign, to give me a steady pace, I give myself, I give myself
