Gravedigger 06:00
Gravedigger! You'll never find what you're looking for. You've got your map all laid out, and nowhere to run. Gravedigger! Believe me when I say There's a ghost inside these wall, and it's angry. Don't raise the dead they'll always swallow your insides. No man alive can survive the dark curse of memory. And when the sky fades out we all fall into nothing. And when the sky fades out... I see through eyes that aren't my own. I wear this skin and it's getting old. I'm drifting through a room just a passerby, And I'll float through the walls to the other side. I'll keep on digging 'til I can't breathe Alone inside these memories. And I'd give it up for a second chance To find my way out of this place, out of here. Buried, buried alive. (I've lost my breath) Gravedigger! There's no more air to breathe. You're stuck in this tomb. Gravedigger! The walls are closing in. You're stuck in this tomb.

Chameleon 04:41
I walk with you naïve companion. Armor you for another battle. No one knows you like I do. No one know what we've been through. But now you're accepted, And you've found yourself so many loyal friends Who'd leave you in an instant If you ever needed anything from them. I regret you today, shameful chameleon. You make yourself believe in lies. No one fakes it like you do. You change your colors to help you hide. And now I've accepted That misdirection is the root of all your ways. When your friends have gone You're left alone to die with your mistakes. There was a time when you and I Were so inseparable, But now when I see you You're almost invisible. Chameleon You change your colors to the world around you. You change your colors to help you hide. Everything about you Has become dull and grey. And everyone you value Meant nothing.

Arsonists 03:28
Your money flows while our anger grows, Continuously turning you to violence Magnifying the darkest part of you While we've unmasked your face . You're just a filthy creature crawling in the dirt. Another product of the vicious world. We won't get the chance to watch you wither away. You will go down in flames. And when the last of you has burned up, We won't mourn at all. We'll just remember how you stood so tall... Using us all Until you saw your kingdom fall. We looked so small Until you saw your kingdom fall. Now you see our faces rush you And you feel the fear we've felt. When you know it's almost over, regret comes pouring out. I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid You can't buy your way out this time. You saw your kingdom fall... We won't get the chance to watch you wither away. You will go down in flames. And when the last of you has burned up, We won't mourn at all. We'll just remember how you stood so tall... Using us all Until you saw your kingdom fall. We looked so small Until you saw your kingdom fall. Using us all Until we made your kingdom fall. We looked so small Until we made your kingdom fall.

Indigo 04:37
Hey little miss in your summer dress. It's been too long since I saw you last. Would you like to join me on the balcony? We can kill some time and do nothing. And in the heat of the summer's soft sun, When all the wine and weed are gone Time pops like a bubble and bursts Into a thousand shimmering suns That float on the skin And on your eyelids. And you start to glow Bright Indigo. Hey little bluebell, and your east coast swing. Tell me about Boston, and tell me about rain. 'Cause the Colorado sun has been wearing me down, And my hearts been heavy since you left this town. But yet you're sitting right next to me Under the shade of this pine tree Where the miles melt into minutes, And each syllable is infinite. Our bodies break in the evening light. Our spirits slip into the river's flow. A colorful cloud against the black and white. A subtle song in the afterglow. And I wish we didn't have to go Back down the world below. And I wish that we could stay like this forever, But you know there's always change in the weather, So I sing... Goodbye my love, goodbye my indigo girl. You know you'll always be mine.

Truth 06:12
I am weak to your embrace and that's why I've remained you know the ugly side of me and have yet to turn away how could I repay you by writing you a song? there's no melody that could explain how I've felt all along and no one could replace this feeling that you give you came along restored my heart and showed me how to live and when the nights get cold I know I'm not alone and when you came into my life I finally felt at home Whatever placed me inside this body must've cared about me because it brought me to you I didn't know I was alive until I looked into your eyes and I saw truth I could never ask for more I never would think to you give me all I need you never ask for anything you've been right by my side forever and a day always...

Hourglass 04:23
The hours A steady flow An ocean Of letting go A stillness A quiet A moment in the hourglass I heard a scream that shattered glass A million pieces - scattered patterns on the concrete I saw a broken frame and a silhouette Of a car crash that hasn't even happened yet I feel alive in the fast lane The road I ride already paved And if I stop I'll lose control I cut the brakes miles ago I'll never be free This tired town's behind And I crave tomorrow's touch These wheels just aren't fast enough ...and then I blinked I was sideswiped And for a moment it seemed Like I was upright And I let out a scream that cut through the night A million dream - scattered patterns on the concrete And I was a broken frame and my silhouette Covered the earth like a safety net And I was free I was falling Into this moment And I was free I was falling faster, ever faster My body bending over backwards And I was free, I was free I closed my eyes ...and then I blinked (he flew so far) I was sideswiped (suspending) And for a moment it seemed (space and time) Like I was upright.
