Sometimes (Part 1) Believe it if you can, believe it if you can, you can believe it if you can, believe it if you can. Sometimes it's better to leave things unsaid Sometimes it's better just to keep them in your head Sometimes it's better when all the tears are shed Sometimes it's better just to lay down... lay down your weary head. Sometimes it's better when there's something going on Sometimes it's better when all the work is done Sometimes it's better, oh, just to carry on Sometimes it's better just to sing... sing another song. I wish somehow I could tell you right now how to raise this cloud and discard this filth ridden shroud But you turned it over, turned it over, like that spider in the corner and now you've got teeth and you’re biting now that you’re older and you're bolder and you've tasted meat Someone is yelling out, someone is spelling out Someone is telling now; what it all means Shy away, hide away, fly away, as hard as it seems... you've still got your dreams. (Part 2) I really don't care at all for all that you criticize and all of your doubts about everything for all the comfort you think it brings you, and all the walls that you put bricks into Like an American Astronaut, or a Soviet Cosmonaut, a thousand miles to the sun you find yourself alone... and floating away… away. (repeat) (Part 3) Does courage sew, does courage show, does courage sew your life’s clothes? Does courage show, does courage sew, does courage show your life’s clothes? At the ending of the day, do revelations come? Will you know just what to write or say? When all is said and done? (repeat) Believe it if you can, believe it if you can, you can believe it if you can, believe it if you can (repeat) Sometimes it’s better if you don’t understand.

Life Boat It seems like so long ago and time is moving on so slow Can you see the life boat? On this sea our lives float... But history is all so small in a universe built tall Can you see the ice cold black surround a blue glow?

Under One Sun (Part 1) Under one sun, will the clouds break to fill the hole in our hearts? We've only begun and the ground shakes to stay our way from the start Cry out again and the sound breaks a shell meant to last to the end Shine on again, keep your stem straight, oppose to those who'd offend (Part 2) You search the endless ocean in the pouring rain Across this spans a notion to ease the numbing pain

Carnival (Part 1) Release me; release me from these cornerstone traditions Release me; release me from these dinosaur religions It's unbelievable, it's a carnival of echoes, come alive It's undeniable; it's a carnival of echoes... come alive Release me; release me from these borderline decisions Release me; release me from these social climb revisions It's undeniable; it's a carnival of echoes, come alive We're all accountable; it's a carnival of echoes... come alive (Part 2) Hold on to all that you want and all that you are Hold on to all that has come and all that has gone And keep your eye on the open door, watch the open door Keep your eye on the open door, guard the open door Hold on to all that you've gained and all that you've lost Hold on to the roads that you've paved and all that it cost And keep your eye on the open door, watch the open door Keep your eye on the open door, guard the open door Confusion in time sets in. Confusion; time wears thin Sorry can't run till the weight is gone, can we sit and rest for a while? But the money's all gone and the race is on, time to raise another pile! (Part 3) Unholy night, dark mountain side, cast a shroud over city miles A dust that settles like garbage piles, like familiar ground, where all feels and sounds... like coming home, home, home, home Doubter, you doubter, raise your head up and learn to smile Doubter, you doubter, raise your head up and learn to smile Living is no crime but it's hard enough sometimes, to dig our holes and raise our sails Fill our hearts, endure the gales to touch familiar ground, where all feels and sounds... like coming home, home, home, home Doubter, you doubter, raise your head up and learn to smile Doubter, you doubter, raise your head up and learn to smile Doubter, you doubter, raise your head up and learn to smile Doubter, you doubter, raise your head up and learn to smile You try to board your life boat and try to find your way home but it's so... complicated You and me and all our dreams are so... complicated.

Where God Lives (Part 1) Confessional, black booth so cold and docile Conversations tow; turn back the page dark veil falls Will you whisper in the dark room? Bleeding secrets out through your wounds? Or will you cast your stone on collection day? Will you whisper in the dark room? Bleeding secrets out through your wounds? Will you hold your own on collection day? (Part 2) Life itself is the question from the cradle to the grave Can you see yourself twenty years or more from now? Will you shed your skin? Will you change yourself somehow? Money spent all these years to keep you well You build a house; your hole away from hell You push so hard to climb when it's hard enough to crawl You try and try to find or can you find it after all... Find your reasons in this mortal coil Life blood spent chasing all the spoils Tired and crazed eyes for just one look... a kindness through the lies You searched your mind at least twenty times today Where once you hoped and whined now there's nothing more to say God has left a drought while you’re begging for a sign And the door that gets you out- What ever happened to "Divine"? Tired and crazed eyes for just one look... through the madness and the lies Free yourself. Trade your places. Speak your mind. Share your spaces. Is there no one left alive? Is there no one left alive? Is there no one left alive? Is there no one left alive? Free yourself. Trade your places. Speak your mind. Share your spaces. Is there no one left alive? Is there no one left alive? Is there no one left alive? Is there no one left alive?

Broken Don't let the candle fade out, till we find what this is all about Don't let the candle fade out, till we find what this is all about Don't let the candle fade out, till we find what this is all about Don't let the candle fade out, till we find what this is all… The lines are broken with caution’s desperate shout Chance is stolen with a whisper and a doubt Where's our Superman to help us with our plan Untie the knotted strands until the tapestry expands The powers have spoken with closed fisted iron hands A web is woven 'round every women, child and man Their crimes ring out so loud and echo in the crowd For all the years they've plowed and done themselves so proud A violent ocean of waves to breach the crust With no conclusion that doesn't lead to dust A tragic comedy, a Shakespearean epitaph but to close the book so soon, it's enough to make you laugh A blind commotion, a scurried up hillclimb To find a potion; to mend the broken lines Prepare the battle gear to strike in all the fuss But no one else is here- under the surface there's only us Don't let the candle fade out, till we find what this is all about Don't let the candle fade out, till we find what this is all about Don't let the candle fade out, till we find what this is all about Don't let the candle fade out, till we find what this is all… With a touch of common sense the future could be sound We don’t need Superman just to find a common ground

A Place And the proud, how they learn to stand tall on the shores of tomorrow’s brightest star Evolution’s junkies have traveled so far Or is it just an illusion; pirates of profit just raising the bar Don't count all your doubts till tomorrow, when the towers of hope ever sing their last song And the shroud that coats all the hollows, all the spaces we kept for our own, all of our sorrows and casting of stones There's a place where everything's born There's a place where everything grows There's a place that every one knows There's a place where no one throws stones And it's the right place-ooh-oh-ooh Hope cast desperate hands on the wall Clawing up through the hollows, we've traveled so far Morning calling out wings for our fall For the strength and the courage to find our new and brighter star There's a place where everything's born There's a place where everything grows There's a place that every one knows There's a place that I'd like to call home And it's the right place-ooh-oh-ooh-ooooh Can you leave it all? Can you leave it all? Just pack up and go? Can you leave it all? Can you leave it all? Just pack up and go? Can you leave it all?

Neverending Sometimes the morning doesn’t seem so cold, the world not so old... at all With all our revelations and all our new designs to reach new heights we climb... so bold So let's put aside our shields and rest for a while Remember how you feel and look back with a smile So ball up your frustrations and learn to let it go we'll take the climb up slow... this time So don’t cast your last stone now you know you’re not alone… after all I'll place my bet though the sun will always set there'll be another morning yet... assured.
