When you live your life in satellites Collecting bits that fall out of the sky You become the passerby Who you've always been But never stepped aside To catch all the answers you misplaced Before they turn ashes you can't piece and resolve Ignite that initial spark to carry you back home Before you drift out of reach When you live your life counting kites With no real direction clear in sight And your thoughts wonder by Think of all the places you left behind To catch all the answers you misplaced Before they turn ashes you can't piece and resolve Ignite that initial spark to carry you back home Before you drift out of reach

Slow Breaths 03:37
Sounding alarms Sounding all alarms Something you've got I can't fight You kept me alive Left me unarmed Took my shields down in a flash When I least expected Your songs keep singing in my head They sing till they put me to bed They keep a steady beat That I can feel pound my chest Your songs keep singing in my head again In slow breaths The shock of a flight Under your arms Always leaves me mystified You quickly unwind My past from my own lies Knowing you could read me blind When I least expected Your songs keep singing in my head They sing till they put me to bed They keep a steady beat That I can feel pound my chest Your songs keep singing in my head again In slow breaths Keep a steady beat now Keep a steady beat That I can feel pound my chest Your songs keep singing in my head again In slow breaths

Move Forward 03:25
Took the wrong turn when you weren't looking Caught in the wrong scenes, You fell back into your guard Did you get lost? Trying to sail ships on false horizons Far from red lights and warnings heavy at heart Love pulls you back Cause as you move forward you find troubles And as you move forward so do sorrows And as you move forward you find that you Keep moving Swinging on thin air chasing summer Slow down your clocks now Keep your pulses apart Learn what you must Cause as you move forward you find troubles And as you move forward so do sorrows And as you move forward you find that you Keep moving Keep on moving, on and on (Love pulls you back)

Castles 04:43
Treasured plans sent 'cross the land Chanting songs for broken hearts Castle walls with hiding spies Keeping close watch keeping kind We lose our tracks Lost in a corner counting stones In one another's starry eyes Sway from a tower out of sight Chasing our targets in complete dark Silent steps through quiet fields Undiscovered weary paths Breaking gates for silent minds Stepping out to feel the night We head on back Lost in a corner counting stones In one another's starry eyes Sway from a tower out of sight Chasing our targets in complete dark In love you always find your way back to home In love you always

Oh this condition found me in my dreams Oh this condition wants to stay with me Oh this condition throws me to the sky Oh this condition sends me to the start Oh this condition flips my gravity Oh this condition wants to stay with me Takes a beautiful life (and its mistakes) With these holes of our hearts (we learn to face) Takes a beautiful life All moments you replay All words you can't erase Oh this condition knows my only wish Oh this condition cuts my tangled string Oh this condition shows the worlds within Oh is this condition wants to set me free
6.
The distance from here to you Not even the sunlight finds its way through A pitch black room that lost its blue It's frightening but beautiful The coldness stoned me as I moved I shout of joy and dance suspended I found the silence of empty space Well hidden, a vacuum here on Earth
7.
Before you heard my call Before you stopped my fall Was singing on my own In simple monotone Before the colors bloom And life becomes cartoon I simply come and go When I'm not in control And you ask me why Move, move to better days The ones I'm counting on Take my hand don't wait, yeah yeah True, beyond is still unknown A future yet untold But take my hand let's go, yeah yeah The moments we hold to From dreams we leave so soon Those perfect words in rhymes Our simple little lines When nothing's left behind To hold us back You won't ask me why Move, move to better days The ones I'm counting on Take my hand don't wait, yeah yeah True, beyond is still unknown A future yet untold But take my hand let's go, yeah yeah You ask me why

The Riddle 03:17
You stood under the night Under the moon's skylight You were an island standing still Without a footprint on your hill You've seen colors changing violently in trees So you run thinking you're the last Of your kind with a lonely heart You dream that you'll find a spell To change everything at once And solve the riddle You hit a sudden crash A different view at last You're eyes began to read the stars In search of secrets they could hide You think others get their wishes in their sleep So you run thinking you're the last Of your kind with a lonely heart You dream that you'll find a spell To change everything at once And solve the riddle
9.
Enemies 03:26
Stop and rewind all that's rushing through your head Keep track of time and their words and their lies Cause words are words Everyone knows their way with them Keep your enemies out now When fading bonds fail to last You're ignored Clear out a path for yourself To escape unhurt Keep your enemies far out
10.
Smile 04:00
In slow motion the seas grow From dust to fields of rainbow glow An imitation of our human hearts Waiting for someone to make them march again So long to starless night sky Goodbye to restless night hour Behind my new eyes there's a Big smile In slow motion our thoughts grow From dust to scenes of endless shade We create every second of our lives In our minds with color changing lights So long to starless night sky Goodbye to restless night hour Behind my new eyes there's a Big smile

Hear the future speaking Sending louder music your way When your head is spinning Can you hold these moments down? Hey, find the love that’s slipping away, now Save what you’ve got don’t give it away yet Have you lost your answers Left behind what you once wished for When your head is failing Can you hold these moments down to find time? Hey, find the love that’s slipping away, now Save what you’ve got don’t give it away yet Hey, when you find something worthy of chase, chase Hey, don’t delay don’t stop on your way there How did I notice you? Lucky I did When your head is spinning Can you hold these moments down to find time? Hey, find the love that’s slipping away, now Hey, don’t delay don’t stop on your way there How did I notice you?
