Help me I am trapped inside myself
Love, come and get me out of here
Out of here
I'm trapped, I'm swimming in sleep
In sleep
Lost in my dreams
Going out to space
I'm falling so fast
Far away
Far away
I'm drifting
Far away
Far away
I'm drifting
Far away
Far away
Far away
Let me come back to play
To play
Let me come back to play
Again
It hurts to know you're far away
It hurts to sit and waste away
It hurts to know you'll never stay
Love, dear love
Wake me up
And take me away
Away
Away
Away
Love, dear love
Wake me up
Each day

I'm going to California today
I don't wanna hear what you say
What you say
I'm going to find my way
And you wanna be where you are
And that's ok
But I have to go and find my way
Yes you wanna stay where you are
And that's ok
It's ok
I tried to tell you
But you push me away
I tried to love you
But you held me away
In every way
In every way
In every way
In every way
I'm not gonna stay here anyway
I'm not gonna stay here anyway
Anyway

Full Moon Song
03:50

|
(Spoken) You can't relive a moment can you in this life, you just have to make it up as you go, right? Right!
Hey Miss Moon are you jealous of the Sun
I'm in her shadow you're in her light
I dream in darkness all through the night
But you sit and shine so oooo
I see you oooo
Light up my night
And sometimes I mistake you for the Sun
And that's my fault
Hey Miss Moon are you jealous of the Sun
She's sitting there having all your fun
She has me all day long
But you can't take it
So you come and break it
All night
All night
I remember you felt bad about your butt
You went on a diet and I couldn't see you
But you came back as full as ever
And it made me feel so light
'Cause Miss Moon
You're small
But you shine so bright
Yes you're small but
You're shining so bright
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
oooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Goodnight

How can I tell you in the middle of the night
Nothing matters at all
You are free to be
What you feel inside
It's so much to take
So everyone goes away to bed
In their head
To sleep
To dream
What they want
Instead of being awake
And trying to do
What they want to do
Cause they don't understand
That in the night
I will hold your hand
What you want will stand
By your side
It's always there
By your side
It's always there
Don't you hide
Don't you hide
Don't you hide
Don't you hide
In the middle of the night
All the spirits stand so bright
By your side
They're all waiting
To come take you where you want to
Shine through
Sweet child....carry me through...always with you...you don't have to try...you don't have to worry...you just have to sit back and relax don't you hurry....i'm telling you now...don't you worry...don't you hurry...just be what you wanted
It might involve
You forgetting
Everything
That entered
Your mind
Your mind
Your mind
You are mine

It's so easy sometimes
And so hard some other times
It's so easy to try and easy to cry sometimes
It's so easy to say everything at once and then regret it
But I'm proud of myself cause I tried but I didn't get it
Here I am now in this place all alone
Somehow alone is where I'm home
Somehow alone is where I'm home
Maybe I should learn to play guitar better than I do
Maybe I should pick who I love better than you
Maybe I should not do anything at all
I'm gonna go out and buy some wine
Get some food and have my fun
In my little world
With my giant head
In my empty bed
I don't mean this to sound quite as sad as it might
I don't want you to think you're my favorite thing in sight
Their's some food out there that I have to bite
And I'm tired of feeling lonely tonight.

Ode to Womankind

Little girl wake up
It aint easy when you are so nice
When you see it in their eyes
And you realize all their lies
Cause Love is as deep as the grave you crave
Yes Love is as deep as the grave you crave
Hey pretty lady
It aint easy when you are so strong
You've been waiting for so long
Don't grow hazy
Don't get cold
It's not easy growing old
Cause Love is as deep as the place you save
Yes Love is as deep as the place you save
You, Dear Mother
It aint easy to be so far
When you've given all you had
Cause it makes you so glad
When those around you are not sad
Cause Love is as deep as the light you gave
Yes Love is as deep as the light you gave
Love is as deep as the grave you craved
And Love is as deep as the place you saved
Cause Love goes as deep as the light you gave
And gave
You gave
And you gave
And you gave

Together We Are Free

It's days like this I wonder why
What you tell me I cannot try
Maybe cause I think it's just a lie
That what I'm here for is to die
And if I'm looking right through you
When you tell me what to do
You want to make me just like you
When what I want is to be true
And what I do is something new
So let me sit here for a while
While you run another mile
Let me carefree
So I can show you what's in me
I am you and you are me
I am you and you are me
And together we are free
And together we are free

I Adore You
04:37

Even though you're very strange
Everyday I turn the page
I can't tell if you love me
I can wait and wait and see
Cause I adore you
Adore you
Adore you
Adore you
If one day you tell me
That you love me so much
I am telling you so you see
I've been crying out for your touch
Cause I adore you
Adore you
Yeah I adore you
Adore you
If one day you tell me so
I will never let you go
I will want the world to see
That you're the only one for me
Cause I adore you
Adore you
Adore you
Adore you
Adore you
Adore you
Do I bore you?
When I adore you?

Shadow Man
Shadow Man
Where you stand
Light won't land
I saw you by the wall
Close enough to recall
Shadow Man
Shadow Man
Block my light
Bring me down
You made me run and fall
But you weren't there at all

Ballad for Pisces

let me cry another tear
while i see you
walk away my dear
and i'll sing
my goodbye
dying just to keep you near
while you
push away what you fear
and i
had to try
trying just to call you dear
but i know
i couldn't keep you here
and you
think i lie
does it matter anyway
what i sing
what i say
what i pray
it's alright
i'll be fine
