Someday 02:23
lyrics
buy track
Someday you’ll hear the music One day you’ll hear the words Someday you’ll catch my meaning Someday, someday And when this storm is gone, and love is all that remains You’ll know it’s time to feel the passion deep in my veins Know that the words I’ve spoken are simple, honest and true Know that the life I’ve cradled, there’s plenty room here for you Somehow this imperfection Somehow is beautiful Somehow it might be perfect Somehow, somehow And when my time has come, and everything falls in place You’ll see a wolfish grin, and a shining sun on my face And when you catch my meaning I hope that you’ll understand What we could be tomorrow, beneath the stars, hand in hand Someday, someday Someday Someday Someday Someday...

I See You Breathe 02:14
lyrics

Soldiers of the heart Soldiers that are true Weather through the storms of life, As sometimes, they must do I see you listen deep, To the rhythms of the blue, I see you breathe, I see you breathe, And the sky is in you The brilliance in your soul, Is the tender in your heart The meaning you will find, you’ll find it Moving forward Past behind Bravery and love, The force of life behold You will live your passion You are cherished, you are gold Soldiers of the heart Soldiers that are true Weather through the storms of life, As sometimes, they must do I see you listen deep, To the rhythms of the blue, I see you breathe, I see you breathe, And the sky is in you I see you breathe I see you breathe, And the sky is in you

The Restless Phoenix 03:47
lyrics

Once upon a time A mighty phoenix flew He burst with light, and fires bright And was reborn anew His luscious feathers gold A silky soothing down And like a wreath, he sat beneath A feathery flaming crown Once upon a time A mighty phoenix died He could not rest, and so his quest He had to set aside His love was put on hold So he could resurrect For ashen wings of ancient kings Could not depart unchecked Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix He’s lived a hundred deaths to live today Oh how he yearns for freedom It’s time to put your arrows all away Once upon a time A stealthy hunter stood She saw his flame and took her aim As any hunter would And when she saw him rise A thought came to her mind She felt no shame and found a game With rules that she designed She had her clothing charmed To shield her from the heat So when he ached she never baked In flames so bittersweet And though she saw him hurt And grew to love the bird She loved the thrill too much to still The thirst that in her stirred Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix He’s lived a hundred deaths to live today Oh how he yearns for freedom It’s time to put your arrows all away Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix He’s lived a hundred lives to love today Oh how he yearns for friendship It’s time to leave your sorrows all away The phoenix cried aloud “I know you’re having fun, But all your lust has made me dust Oh when will you be done?” “I’ve grown to love your laugh To love your winning smile But can’t I rest and manifest And let me live a while?” The hunter paused in thought Alarmed to hear him speak Her shielded heart was torn apart Surprised to feel so weak Unsure of what to feel She fell upon a glade He flew to her, and there they were Embracing in the shade (Ah) (La da da da da) Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix He’s lived a hundred deaths to live today Oh how he yearns for freedom It’s time to put your arrows all away Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix He’s lived a hundred lives to love today Oh how he yearns for friendship It’s time to leave your sorrows all away

Appetite 03:31
lyrics

I didn’t know that you could lose your appetite Just from thinking about what you’re missing out On every night I didn’t know that I could stay awake this long And be lying in bed, heartbeat pound in my head What did I do wrong? I know that it’s different Now that I’m not the only one I wish that I could show you How much it hurts that you are gone away from me Oh can you see? I hope you know that you’re the perfect one for me Nothing’s perfect I know, and yet you’re perfect, so I guess I’ll wait and see I want to say that you have helped me through so much Help me sleep through the night, help me see what is right, Just with a loving touch I hope that it’s lying When my heart cries this is the end I don’t know, should I speak to You as a lover or a friend, my perfect girl Come back to me I hope in time that you remember what could be My love’s always been here, so you don’t have to fear You could be safe with me And now I know that I might sound quite desperate Even if that is true, my love for you is too I know you won’t forget I know I'll make a loving husband I dream that someday I'll be yours Oh please! Just tell me what to do I don't know what to do But for you, there's nothing I wouldn't do I know you might feel different I bet you’re not the only one But though I can’t prove it The deepest love for you is coming straight from me I didn’t know that I could lose my appetite Just from thinking about love I’m missing out On every night

Precipice 02:54
lyrics

When you reach the twilight fracture The precipice of all disaster The blackest blacks and whitest whites The lightest days and darkest nights You choose the path, you choose the path And when at last your vision fades The world becomes a shade of grey And everywhere are closing doors The choice of fate is only yours You choose the path, you choose the path And when a heart is torn in two The shadows all are calling you A voice so loud and hoarse and shrill It wants to maim, to hurt- No No No No No The precipice lies where good and evil meet And the path you choose is at your feet And I will choose the path of good The path a hero would I have the power to be calm I have the peace to be so strong I have the wisdom to be me I have the freedom just to be As happy as I want to be

Altered State 04:13
lyrics

Back at the tennis court, I was thinking of you I wasn’t feeling so good, just finding something to do But when I took my first serve, I felt the wind in my hair, I felt the sun on my face, I had a breath of fresh air And when I lay in the grass, I heard the ocean’s call The sky was dark up above, it made me feel so small I know that something was wrong, But I know what is right The future’s looking bright I’m in an altered state With hope in my heart and a peace of mind Somehow I know it’s fate And not the cruel and vicious kind You know I’m feeling great I’ve found my way back, renewed, and refined You know it’s not checkmate What could the two of us be, if our lives were intertwined? I waited for a while, not knowing what to do My tears fell down to the floor, and they were falling for you But I wasn’t alone, my friends were by my side, I discovered the strength to stand up after I cried I cannot change what is done, I cannot alter the past But I know how to be strong, and the future is vast I’ve got a new perspective, and I know it’s right Our future’s looking bright I’m in an altered state With hope in my heart and a peace of mind Somehow I know it’s fate And not the cruel and vicious kind You know I’m feeling great I’ve found my way back, renewed, and refined You know it’s not checkmate We haven’t lost yet, we can still rewind I’ve got a quick heart rate The meaning of life is so streamlined So would you be my date? Just like Orion’s belt, we could be aligned You know it’s not too late The wolf blood in my veins is the loyal kind So won’t you be my mate? What could the two of us be, if our hearts were intertwined? Oh no, oh no It’s not that I forgot about the pain Oh yeah, oh yeah I can just see the sun through the rain I’m in an altered state With hope in my heart and a peace of mind Somehow I know it’s fate And not the cruel and vicious kind You know I’m feeling great I’ve found my way back, renewed, and refined You know it’s not checkmate We haven’t lost yet, we can still rewind I’ve got a quick heart rate The meaning of life is so streamlined So would you be my date? Just like Orion’s belt, we could be aligned You know it’s not too late The wolf blood in my veins is the loyal kind So won’t you be my mate? What could the two of us be, if we were intertwined? I’m in an altered state The wolf blood in my veins is the loyal kind I’m in an altered state And it’s a state that will last, as I’m sure you’ll find I’m in an altered state The pain of the past we can leave behind So won’t you be my mate? What could the two of us be, if our paws were intertwined?

Stone in the Skies 03:54
lyrics

(Chorus:) We’ll meet if the mountain crumbles But I’d rather the ocean rise Bare feet in the ocean’s water I call from a stone in the skies You’re gazing at a sunset But I’m watching a slow sunrise We’ll meet if the mountain crumbles But I’d rather the ocean rise I am so far behind you Oh please just turn around My life is a crumbling mountain Making scarcely any sound With tired eyes I watch you But you’re so far away From where I am it’s nighttime But you’re just chasing day (Chorus) I’m calling far behind you Oh please just turn around Your life is a sinking ocean Underwater there’s no sound With dying cries I miss you But you must be so scared I’m living in the shadows Of the future we once shared You have the touch of a goddess Who breathes the ocean blue I see you breathe, I see you breathe Let me breathe the sky with you I see you breathe, I see you breathe Let me breathe (Chorus)

The Tree 06:33

With deep roots, and branches large A place of peace where I recharge On edge of water, edge of street With welcome arms, a lover’s seat A place of memories old and new A simple, yet alluring view Emotions grow within its shade Oh tree, don’t let our feelings fade Come on down to the tree And stay a while with me Love is here at the tree Oh don’t forget about me The night was old so long ago Eclipsing moon and us aglow Our bodies by the tree that night Our love together taking flight With every second passing by The morning slowly lit the sky Though time did pass, we didn’t care This moment was just ours to share Come on down to the tree And stay forever with me Love is here at the tree Oh don’t forget about me The tree is old, now broke apart But we are young, and we can start To see each other and ourselves To take our love out off the shelves And every morning I still go Down to the tree, although I know I likely will not find you there But I love you, and I don’t care Come on down to the tree And stay forever with me Love is here at the tree Oh don’t forget about me Come on down to the tree

Someday the journey’s over Somehow it’s just begun One day you’ll catch my meaning Somehow, someday And when this song is done, and all the music’s been played You’ll see all of our fears, but you will not be afraid And with an open heart you’ll have seen the truth of my soul And with an honest start maybe you and I can be whole Someday, someday Someday Someday Someday Someday...
