Thieves

No I ain't got no need to slow my speed down
No No
I'm on a roll, in control of this bullet train
Yeah yeah
Just try and stop me now
Try and do your worst
My body's strong so move along
No need to quench my thirst
Can't quench my thirst
I'm an animal, got instincts to tear through these walls
Unstoppable, undeniable, coming for you
I'm coming for you
"In Seth's head, there were no thoughts or feelings-
Only blank and motionless images of what was next in his day.
Composing his breath and centering himself away from what had just happened, he sat and fiddled with the purse in his hands but made no attempt to look inside. Unemotional theft felt good to him- testing his meditative control and challenging his heartlessness. There was no one to share the ride with as the train trudged along the ridgid tracks towards E. 68 Station. Straight-faced and patient, the ride was sweetly brief..."
I'm losing breath, losing life
I'm losing breath, I'm losing sight
I'm losing life
I'm losing sight
Loosing life

Sheltered
02:19
|

|
Oh I do not know why
Your walls are built so high
Sheltered from what's out there
Could you let someone inside
Your bleeding heart to fix
The broken parts you choose to hide?
Well I'll stay patient
Out here knocking at your door
Could you find the time to
Give your love a chance
To shine through all the shit
Relax, sit back
You'll be alright
You'll be just fine
Oooh baby, could you spend a little time?
Realize you're fine
Sit back, relax
You'll be just fine
You'll be alright

Colors

I'll open my eyes
To the bright, beautiful lights
My sight's fixed upon you
And your ever-changing shades
Don't you ever change
No, I can't explain
Colors cast abound
You're a kaleidascope making my mind explode
Sight's fixed upon you
And your ever-changing shades
Don't you ever change
No I can't explain

Steady my hands as they fly across the room
Take it away and make me feel so good
Caus' all I want is all I need
And all I taste is all I breathe
And all I fear is all I see
You take my head and spin it around
Till it comes undone
Go ahead just dance, dance
Get loose, get crazy
Feel the mighty flow of your body baby
Don't stop, stop, stop, stop, now stop
Let me hear you scream
Caus' it's just a feeling you cannot stop
Baby light the fire, let's keep it hot
It's in your heart, down inside
Sending shockwaves up your spine
So loosen up and sing it loud
You've got a voice so let it out
Now lose yourself, let's lose ourselves
Excuse yourself, you're out of control

Crash

You've got your sun kissed skin
And your wind blown hair
You make me crazy
Yeah you turn me on
When you rise and shine
With your sizzling skin
Setting my body on fire
Won't you burn me?
Oh you are the sun in the sky
Burning red hot
On your coldest days
Your ocean waves
Take a toll on my aching soul
Won't you drown me
In your sea of love?
Oh you are the waves to my sea
Won't you crash down on me?

Hold You
04:39
|

|
Yeah I've been thinking of the words
To say when I make it back home
After this back breaking day
And we can find some lovely ways
To take our agonies away
The boss is only coming down hard
I need your loving arms to wrap me up
And help me disregard
For now, it's only you and me
Let's put the pains of today behind
I'll show you every warm embrace
And put a smile back on your perfect face
Now sway with me
Baby I won't do you no harm
And let me take my sweet damn time
Lay me down and wrap me up
Know I'm all yours
Caus' you'd best believe baby
You're all mine
For now, it's only you and me
Let's put the pains of today behind
I'll show you every warm embrace
And put a smile back on your perfect face
My feet are sore
My body's worn
And my eyes don't see straight anymore
Whatever bit of strength I hold onto
I'm giving it all to you
I want to hold you
I want to kiss you
I want to feel you
I want to hold you
I wanna...

Fear Of Heights

CLIMB CLIMB CLIMB CLIMB CLIMB CLIMB
At last the climb is done
By fear this world is overcome
You tried to keep me down
The warning signs you built
Were never found
Goodbye, my time is now
Increased with speed
My heart becomes
Like birds in the sky
And fish in the sea
I'm telling you now
I want to live free
The heights I have scaled
Are out of their reach
It's time to let go
Let it go, let go
All the fears you own
They can't hurt you anymore
Will they take you over?
They can't hurt you now
"Taking one final grasp of the slippery rock face, he hoisted himself over the jagged top with what sliver of energy he had left. The current leading to the edge of the waterfall was gentil and calm as compared to what had just been overcome. And up here, it was so beautiful"

Prayers Beside The Ocean
05:14
|
|||
|
It's a feeling too amazing
I cannot deny
All in one breath
Breathing out what's locked inside
Where once I was abandoned
Like a ship cast to the sea
Here I stand reflecting on
Your pure encompassing
And one of there days you'll find
All the hatred in this life will fade away
Leaving everything that's good in
You
And one of these days
All the hatred in this life will fade away
We struggle to believe in all
We can and cannot see
Making what we can't
An endless mystery
And patience is the answer
To the questions we may own
And love is shown to those
Who cannot show love in return
And one of these days you'll find
All the hatred in this life will fade away
Leaving everything that's good in
You
And one of these days
All the hatred in this life will fade away
"I finally understand father, this beautiful life-filled masterpiece which you have created out of labor and unceasing gracious love for us. You see us only as unhindered and forgiven, and we thank you for your grace. I acknowledge the sacrafice you've made to straighten our paths and broaden our horizons. It's remarkable, the example of precious intimacy you feel for us, your children, and the pure encompassing guidance which surrounds each of us, especially when we fail to recognize you in our darkest hours"

Inner Peace
04:22
|

|
Oh how I dream to soar
Far beyond the great horizon
High above the endless mountains
To a place I call my own
To place I call home
Home
Where the land is a virtue
I'll pray The Lord my soul to keep
When I scream to the heavens
I'll release my spirit free
I'll release my spirit free
If ye love me
Grant my freedom
Watch me as I bloom and blossom
This is where I'm meant to be
I've found my inner peace
I've found my inner peace
I've found my inner peace

Good Night
05:27

This canvas up above
Has colors warm and
So serene
Only leaves scrape the sky
Where winged beings
Sing harmonies
And you are all my friends
And family
With me since the moment
The sun arrived
Would you lay beside me
Till we see the light?
It's a good night
Amity along an endless sea
With creatures big and small
Who too will arise
When the morning arrives
And you are all my friends
And family
With me since the moment
The sun arrived
Would you lay beside me
Till we see the light
It's a good night
You are all my friends
And you are all my family
Together under one sun's sky
Our destinies collide to intertwine
You're in my heart
Keep singing good night
Good night
