1.	Janeway 03:37	lyrics
The past and future get under my skin Fear that this happiness won’t come back Palms pressed too tight It ran through the cracks Time turned to water And spilled from the glass It’s over before it starts Like all of our false starts All starlit and glowing You loved me without knowing Wake up, look alive Play the part Time echoes backwards It’s over before it starts Oh it’s ending too fast Palms pressed too tight Our love ran through the cracks And when I’m too tired Will this dream die at last? Time turned to water And I let it spill from the glass It’s over before it starts It’s over before it starts Wake up, look alive Play the part Wake up, look alive It’s over before it starts Oh it’s ending too fast Palms pressed too tight Our love ran through the cracks And when I’m too tired Will this dream die at last? Time turned to water And I let it spill from the glass The past and future get under my skin Fear that this happiness will not come back again But when I’m too tired, I still play these parts Cause our time’s not enough It’s over before it starts
2.	A B Y 03:20	lyrics
Two small lines Diverging on a plane Upon the first glance They look one in the same But when you look twice You see them start to change They’re turning both ways Divide and rearrange Open your mouth Try to say A B Y B A B Y We're two lines crossing time Intersect, multiply Three small words I wish that I could say Trapped in the space behind My teeth again Open your mouth Try to explain A B Y B A B Y We're two lines crossing time Intersect, multiply A B Y B A B Y And we’ll come back to life Someplace else Out of sight See two lines running ‘cross a plane Back and forth Multiply again Open my mouth But I can’t explain A B Y B A B Y We were wires crossed time We were electrified A B Y B A B Y And we’ll come back to life Someplace else Out of sight In the black Or the white hot light We’re alive at last Born again in my mind’s eye A B Y B A B Y Everywhere, nowhere We are in and out of time
3.	Anemone 03:47	lyrics
Do not leave my love out to dry Do not leave my love out to dry You leave my love out to dry You leave my love out to dry How long, how long it’s been I can’t make up my mind You my love and I are weaving In and out of time Stop me ‘fore I lose myself Please open up my eyes We’re goin’ nowhere, goin’ nowhere In and out of time Do not leave my love out to dry Do not leave my love out to dry You leave my love out to dry You leave my love out to dry Our love is red Yeah, it is burned inside my brain It has bound my hands and sung its song And trapped me in its cage Stop me ‘fore I lose myself Please open up my eyes We’re goin’ nowhere, goin’ nowhere In and out of time How long, how long it’s been I can’t make up my mind You my love and I are weaving In and out of time Stop me ‘fore I lose myself Please open up my eyes We’re goin’ nowhere, goin’ nowhere In and out of time Don’t leave my love out to dry (Do not leave my love out to dry) You leave my love out to dry
4.	Mother 03:36	lyrics
Stay close to me Here inside this blue dream Wake and you’ll see Mother loves you so In your nursery Clinging to the railing You were sent to me A light from heaven hailing Wings out Won’t be the one who breaks you Go now Never look back No sound It’s a tomb There’s no light inside your room Gone away But you stay In my blood You’re in my veins Come back to me Alone inside this blue dream One day you’ll see Your mother’s love was holy Wings out Won’t be the one who breaks you Go now Never look back at me If you run now I was your heartbeat But that’s over now Never look back Turn, turn back You grew too fast Wings out Won’t be the one who breaks you Go now Never look back at me If you run now I was your heartbeat But that’s over now Never look back
5.	Chameleon 04:51	lyrics
Yesterday we could play Unscathed By all the rules you made I will breathe I will wait I’ll relive Memories of our brightest days Oh, you are the only I want to go away with you backwards Oh, we used to play We used to play Chameleon Disappear in the dark When I blink you’ll be following Another new star The thing with stars though They burn til they’re dust You peel off your paint Your heart’s starting to rust Is there time for us to play again Or do we fade away Can it be That it’s too late And all I’m left is stardust in my hands again Oh, you are the only I want to go away with you backwards Oh, we used to play We used to play Chameleon Disappear in the dark When I blink you’ll be following Another new star The thing with stars though They burn til they’re dust Oh, peel off your paint Your heart’s starting to rust I remember we used to (I remember we used to play) Chameleon Disappear in the dark When I blink you’ll be following Another new star The thing with stars though They burn til they’re dust Oh, peel off your paint Your heart’s starting to rust
6.	The Howl Makes No Sound 04:08	lyrics
Through the wild and the weeds Follow you down Dive into the deepest blue Don’t let me drown Wet skin Hot breeze Sleep on the ground Where left is right Dark is light There’s no bounds All I do Is play it cool The howl makes no sound In symmetry Our darkest dreams Hang from these boughs This tapestry Of misery Is weighing me down Where left is right Dark is light There’s no bounds All I do Is play it cool The howl makes no sound Through the wild and the weeds Follow you down... Through the wild and the weeds Follow you down Dive into the deepest blue Don’t let me drown Where left is right Dark is light There’s no bounds All I do Is play it cool The howl makes no sound
7.	Parlor Trick 04:39	lyrics
I don’t want to gaze upon A body when the soul is gone A frame without a picture in it My blurry eyes can see yet A blackened wick without a flame Wax hardened to the holder There’s no light behind the eyes Cold skin getting colder When you lay him down to rest Don’t you want the very best? A money grab, a parlor trick No I don’t wanna play But if you want to die dignified You’re gonna have to pay Of course I’d love to see again Your shoulders shaking when you laugh Hold tight to your weathered hands Sing your favorite songs again No I don’t want to gaze upon A body when the soul is gone Fill your pockets as they cry And cry and cry Play the part and bleed them dry Dirty money changing hands Preying on the living dead A money grab, a parlor trick No I don’t wanna play But if you want to die dignified You’re gonna have to pay Twist my mind With your parlor trick No I don’t wanna play But if you want to die dignified You’re gonna have to pay

9.	Veins of Color 03:08	lyrics
Come with me, don't look back It's over now, it's out of your hands You planted thoughts in my head They're growing fast like roses red In the spring, in the sunshine Changing shapes, bending time Bright veins of color run through Til all that wills to live has been renewed Feel the wind upon your face The greatest gift That’s what you said But every feeling fades in time Inching farther from the foreground Of your mind Come with me, don't look back It's over now, it's out of your hands You planted thoughts inside my head They're growing fast like roses red Come with me, there's still time You play it over in your mind And sow the seeds inside your head Let them grow fast Your rose is red Red
10.	Two Pools 03:57	lyrics
Water runs Like blood turned blue Moonlit wounds Inside two pools In the morning Mist rolls through Gray light shines down On two pools Outside When the bell tolls Faded shadows walk beside Lord knows There’s a reason Her eyes are two pools All the time Below ground A hallowed tomb Twisted metal ‘neath two pools There’s no light inside To hold on to Locked up tight Beneath two pools Pools that never fill Wounds that never heal Pools that never fill They’re wounds Outside When the bell tolls Faded shadows walk beside Lord knows There’s a reason Her eyes are two pools All the time Pools that never fill Wounds that never heal Pools that never fill Wounds that never heal
11.	Ordinary Magic 04:41	lyrics
Daylight dreaming Head in the sky All hidden meanings Reveal in time When the years Creep up on me My bones creak Muscles atrophy But in my life I’ll have sang these words It matters not If I was heard And in my mind Never to fade The holy sounds That my friends made When the lights turn Brightest blue I always think of how we came We came to be standing here Inside the same dream That’s no ordinary magic That’s no ordinary magic That’s no ordinary magic That’s no, that’s no It’s more than muscle memory I play these songs to feel relief I will bring them to the garden gates An offering of my soul to take When the lights turn Brightest blue Oh, do you think of how we came We came to be Hand in hand inside the same dream? That’s no ordinary magic That’s no ordinary magic That’s no ordinary magic That’s no, that’s no We would drive Through the night On and on and on And on and on and on Laughing again Sleeping in While the world was clocking in We were making magic When the lights turn Brightest blue You know I think of how we came We came to be Standing here inside the same dream That’s no ordinary magic That’s no ordinary magic That’s no ordinary magic That’s no, that’s no That’s no ordinary magic That’s no ordinary magic That’s no ordinary magic That’s no, that’s no
