Walk Away

Lyrics:
Thelonius:
I've come to see
The lies you've sewn
And turned away to paths unknown
To find a place
To call my own
Embrace the light
That I've been shown
Ryan:
You might want to ask
Why you suffer
Is it something beyond your control
Or is it self-inflicted?
I live with a disease
I live and I learn
But you can't seem
To get out of your own way
Sabotaging yourself
Silently...
Thelonius:
I've come to see
The lies you've sewn
And turned away to paths unknown
To find a place
To call my own
Embrace the light
That I've been shown
Ryan:
We tried to help
To get you to look
To get you to laugh
To get you to love
But you don't know the meaning
And you never will
you never will
you never will
you never will
And I've had enough
Of being
A martyr
I don't owe you anything
Anymore
I'll
Walk away...
Walk away...
This Time
Walk away
Walk Away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Thelonius:
I've come to see
The lies you've sewn
And turned away to paths unknown
To find a place
To call my own
Embrace the light
That I've been shown

Stranded
06:24
|
|||
Ryan
Spent forever
Turning myself inside out
Broke out of my cell
Only to wake up in hell
Now they want to seize
All my hopes and my dreams
Why can't I escape
This human disease?
Alone again in my own world
Here by choice but not by ignorance
Gotta take a vacation from all the things
That would take my better nature
And sometimes I feel
Like god is mocking me (na na na)
Thelonius:
The whole world is screaming "come drown with me"
Let's all be part of the never ending cycle of pain and misery
Please don't recover, we need you to suffer.
It keeps us from feeling ill at ease
The truth of the matter, is truth doesn't matter
We want to believe what we believe
Come drown in our sea of lunacy
Ryan:
Sometimes I feel
Like god is mocking me (na na na)

Heart in the Flame
05:31
|
|||
Ryan:
Waiting for the day
When we can all
Remember the signs
Outside these castle walls of mine
Riches for the blind
Do you dare look inside,
Do you dare look inside?
Thelonius:
Outside eyes
They accede the lies
In disguise all the shadows rise
But soon the day will come to pass
Our ascending forms will firmly grasp
The yields of all the harvests past
We walk the path
Our dreams defined
The corridor
To coalesce our minds
Ryan:
Waiting for the day
When we can all
Remember the signs
Outside these castle walls of mine
Riches for the blind
Do you dare look inside,
Do you dare look inside?
Thelonius:
Crashing waves
Lasting endless days
Gasping for that elusive breath
The coming tides will bring the purifying death
Cleanse our souls and rise above
The crushing depths the past submerged
Our crossing to the end
We sail above the sky
The fractured world
We dared defy
Ryan:
Maybe...
I'm just.....
Getting old...
In my mind.....
In my mind...
In my mind...
In.....My.....Mind
Just getting old
In my mind
All the time
In my mind...(In my mind)
In my mind (I die every day)
In my mind...
Waiting for the day
When we can all
Remember the signs
Outside these castle walls of mine
Riches for the blind
Do you dare look inside,
Do you dare look inside?
Waiting for the day
When we can all
Remember the signs
Outside these castle walls of mine
Riches for the blind
Do you dare look inside,
Do you dare look inside?

Tears Falling
06:00
|
|||
Thelonius:
The teardrops cascading across the sky
The memories of old wounds refusing to dry
We're lost in this nightmare fantasy
And trying to find a place where we can
becoming the light in the darkest of seas
And shining amidst all this strife and disease
The shelter that shields from the unbroken rain
That's forged through all the scarring and the pain
Ryan:
Is this heaven
I close my eyes
And let this song
Carry me
Away
Far away.
Far away.
Thelonius:
The teardrops cascading across the sky
The memories of old wounds refusing to dry
We're lost in this nightmare fantasy
And trying to find a place where we can
becoming the light in the darkest of seas
And shining amidst all this strife and disease
The shelter that shields from the unbroken rain
That's forged through all the scarring and the pain
Ryan:
Tears are falling
Down...
In The Rain
Tears are falling
Down...
Waves of emotion
Pouring out of me
Swept away
Love is lost
In the rain...
Tears are falling
Now...
Thelonius:
The teardrops cascading across the sky
The memories of old wounds refusing to dry
We're lost in this nightmare fantasy
And trying to find a place where we can
Becoming the light in the darkest of seas (Tears are falling)
And shining amidst all this strife and disease (Tears are Falling)
The shelter that shields from the unbroken rain (Tears are falling)
That's forged through all the scarring and the pain (Tears are falling down)

Counterfeit Time
04:30
|
|||
Ryan:
Today was like any other day
Woke up feeling only...
Would you think less of me
If I admitted I was lonely?
Catch myself before I break in two
But it's nothing new...and
The pain is all that's real.
Push myself to try again
But there's too many times
I've been let down
And it wears me thin
Tell me, what's under your skin?
A husk of a human.
Ryan & Thelonius:
Are you looking for something?
Love into nothing.
Looking for something?
Love into nothing.
Looking for something?
Love into nothing.
And that's what it steals...
Are you looking for something?
Love into nothing.
Looking for something?
Love into nothing.
Looking for something?
Love into nothing.
And that's what it steals...
And that's what it steals...
Ryan:
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Counterfeit Time...
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Oh, oh-oh...
Oh, oh-oh-ooooooh...
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Counterfeit Time...
Tired of your empty lies
Don't be surprised
By the robot in front of your eyes
Your actions align
And design
That person you so despise
And you could spend all time
Convincing yourself otherwise
All I'm left to do is fantasize --- Just like you.
It never changes...
And I'll still be lonely...
It never (never) changes...
And I'll still be lonely...
Never (never) changes...
Ryan & Thelonius:
Are you looking for something?
Love into nothing.
Looking for something?
Love into nothing.
Looking for something?
Love into nothing.
And that's what it steals...
Are you looking for something?
Love into nothing.
Looking for something?
Love into nothing.
Looking for something?
Love into nothing.
And that's what it steals...
And that's what it steals...
Ryan:
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Counterfeit Time...
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Oh, oh-oh...
Oh, oh-oh-ooooooh...
Counterfeit Time...
It's Not Mine...
Counterfeit Time...

Karmageddon
06:30
|
|||
Lyrics:
From the ashes
Picking up
All the pieces
Of who I used to be
All these people
Talk of life
When they don't know the meaning
One more time...
I'll try.
One more time...
We'll try
You...and I...
You and I.....
Gotta show me something
Can't all be for nothing
It's something
That's stuck in my head (Stuck in myyyyyy head)
Oh Karmageddon
It's stuck in my head
It's something that's stuck in my head
The Truth can't be bargained with
And though you can run from me
I'm not chasing you, anymore.
Wherever you go, you know...
There's no hiding from reality
Die on your feet, don't live on your knees...
Gotta show me something
Can't all be for nothing
It's coming
Sooner than you think
Oh Karmageddon
Stuck in my head
It's something that's stuck in
(It's something that's stuck in my head)
And some day...
I can look back on it all
And laugh to myself
So many people flaunt their ignorance
Trading trinkets
For eternity and infinite possibility
It's hard to take them seriously
Lead a horse to water,
But can't make it drink.
Tell them the answer,
But can't make them think.
This world...
Is on a collision course with
Insanity
Gotta show me something
Can't all be for nothing
It's coming
Sooner than you think
Oh Karmageddon
Stuck in my head
It's something that's stuck in
(It's something that's stuck in my head)
You can change the world
If you start with yourself (By changing yourself)
You can change (You can change...)
Any time you want to
You can change...
You can change. (Any time...)
God has shown me something
It isn't all for nothing
It's coming
Sooner than you think (Sooner than you think)
Oh Karmageddon
It's coming
Sooner than you think (Sooner than you think)
Oh Karmageddon (Karmageddon)
Oh Karmageddon
It's coming
Sooner than you think (Sooner than you think)
Oh Karmageddon
It's coming
Sooner than you think (Sooner than you think)
Oh Karmageddon (Oh Karmageddon)

Spirit of You
06:21
|

Ryan:
This darkness,
I'm Atlas...
This is my stone.
They call me...
The King-- of sorrow..
This crown-- of thorns...
Haunts tomorrow.....
Forever, waiting...in limbo...
Losing everything...
I know.
Thelonius:
Falling down, I cannot escape
The pressure builds
And suffocates all my feelings of joy
Evaporate into stagnant air
That clings to my face
I want to be free from all that this world
Has wrought on me
And bathe in the light of the memories
But now they seem so empty
But I can rekindle the flame
And change
The faults can be rearranged into something new
Into something true, there's no going back to the old point of view
Ryan:
So familiar, yet so unknown
I claw and carve a hole
Using everything I know
To let light into where I should go
This darkness, I'm Atlas, And this is my stone.
I bleed in ways that you can't see
And every day...
Takes a bit out of me.
Every day...
I bleed in ways that you can't see...
And every day...
Takes a bit out of me.
And every day...
Takes a bit out of me.
Every day...
Takes a bit out of me.
I don't mean to sound defeated
'Cause even though it wears on me
And shadows swallow me alive
I come back stronger
Every time
And that's one more time
That I can find
The things that remind
When I think I'm past
The "finished" line
My purpose renewed
In the spirit of you
The spirit of you,
The spirit of you...

My Sweet Stranger
03:30
|
|||
Lyrics:
Ryan:
Who
Tends
To this garden of decay
Mysterious stranger
Death is my name
Ripping away (Ripping away)
And carries the pain
Thelonius:
Don't pass me by
Just stay awhile
I want to try to be all I can
The feeling I've found
Can never be lost
Just stay with me until I wake again.
Ryan:
Once more
This cycle goes 'round
All becomes clear
When you're no longer in fear
Learn what matters most
As it's fading away...
Thelonius:
Lost in the shroud
Concealed in a dream
Your voice reaches out to silence the screams
I search through the night hoping to find
The life that I once called mine
Ryan:
Spent
All my love
Sowing seeds
So that they can grow
So that they can grow
Thelonius:
Don't pass me by
Just stay awhile
I want to try to be all I can
The feeling I've found
Can never be lost
Just stay with me until I wake again.
Lost in the shroud
Concealed in a dream (Sweet Stranger)
Your voice reaches out to silence the screams
I search through the night hoping to find (Sweet Stranger)
The life that I once called mine
Both:
Don't pass me by (Sweet Stranger)
Just stay awhile
I want to try to be all I can (My sweet stranger)
The feeling I've found
Can never be lost
Just stay with me until I wake again. (My sweet stranger)

The Crying Sun
04:30
|
|||
Ryan:
Can you let me know
That I have won
When all is said and done
Soon I'll be gone
A shadow cast
On everything and everyone
The smiling moon
and the crying sun
Thelonius:
Every day when you wake
What is it that you see?
Are these reflections of yourself?
Or something else entirely?
It pulls you into such a state
It's hard to escape
But don't let it drag you down
Ryan:
I'm falling
Can you hear me calling?
Can you let me know
That I have won
When all is said and done
Soon I'll be gone
A shadow cast
On everything and everyone
The smiling moon
and the crying sun
Thelonius:
Every night as you lie
There is uncertainty
How do you trust yourself
When you can't trust what you see?
All the world is filled with lies
But don't let it darken your sunrise
And though the clouds obscure the skies
Soon a better day will grace your eyes
Ryan:
Is this the end?
Or just the beginning of our story...
Can you let me know
That I have won
When all is said and done
Soon I'll be gone
A shadow cast
On everything and everyone
The smiling moon
And the crying sun
The smiling moon
And the crying sun...
The smiling moon
And the crying sun
The smiling moon
And the crying sun!
The smiling moon
And the crying sun
The smiling moon
And the crying sun!
The smiling moon
And the crying sun
The smiling moon
And the crying sun........

Towards the Dawn
06:33
|

Lyrics:
Ryan:
Shine
On
Me
A new hope
A new dream
A new
Destination
Thelonius:
As the pages keep on turning
A new chapter is about to unfold
Can someone tell me if you've heard this before
Soon the day will be here
when we no longer have to worry
everything that you fear will be no more
Ryan:
Counting the days
Till we bask
In the glow and warmth of the sun
Thelonius:
In the dark
I can remember
The fleeting moments
As they fade away
And give way to new light
That cleanses the shadows
Breathing life
Into the dawn of a world beyond
Just hold on
to those that you treasure
and feed your soul
with all of their love
Embrace the winds of change
as the age winds down
The house of cards will be falling
Can you answer your true calling
and live the life that you were meant for?
Ryan:
Counting the days
Till we bask
In the glow and warmth of the sun
Thelonius:
In the dark
I can remember
The fleeting moments
As they fade away
And give way to new light
That cleanses the shadows
Breathing life
Into the dawn of a world beyond
Ryan:
Have you started living yet?
Believe me, I know
The pain of this world
But there's a reason we've been called here
Imperfect in my service, I give all my love
Till the day of liberation is here.
Stand in the warmth of the sun
Stand in the warmth of the sun...with me
Stand in the warmth of the sun...with me
Stand in the warmth of the sun...
Come and find peace
Come and find peace with me
Come and find...
Come and find peace with me (and be free)
Come and find...(and be free)
Come and find...peace.....

Inner Peace
06:35
|
|||
Lyrics:
Verse (Thelonius):
I know it seems like a mess
But don't let it get you depressed
Take it from me
When it feels like your whole world is upside down
Just stand on the ground
And take a look around
The truth can only be found
If your mind is sound
Chorus (Ryan):
There's a quiet rain on top of me
Plant my roots among the trees
Start my journey inwardly
And practice what I'm meant to be
Striving for that inner peace
Striving for that inner peace
In me.....
Inner peace
Inner peace
In me.....
Verse (Thelonius):
Trying to find my way back home
It never fails to leave me in despair
The times when I have felt the most alone
Reminded of your absence everywhere
But the future is looking brighter
And the way forward is obscured no more
Every day is a chance for a new beginning
Chorus (Ryan):
There's a quiet rain on top of me
Plant my roots among the trees
Start my journey inwardly
And practice what I'm meant to be
Striving for that inner peace
Striving for that inner peace
In me.....
Inner peace
Inner peace
In me.....
Bridge:
Let it all
Fall away
Let it all
Fall away
If it seems there is no direction
Look inside yourself
And you may be surprised
At the treasures you can find
In the silence of your mind
Chorus:
There's a quiet rain on top of me
Plant my roots among the trees
Start my journey inwardly
And practice what I'm meant to be
Striving for that inner peace
Striving for that inner peace
In me.....
Inner peace
Inner peace
In me.....
Outro:
The shackles of fear from the wizard
Only work if you live
In the brain of the lizard
Move forward and realize what they are
Illusion to thwart
Your rise to the stars
The shadows flee
From where true love and light succeeds
From where true love and light succeeds
From where true love and light succeeds

In Our Sky
06:00
|

Thelonius:
This mind can design
And realize through countless trials
Our dreams materialized in our skies
In our skies
Ryan:
What we need is all around us
Piece by piece and day by day
The foundation is forming
So much you can't see
From the outside looking in
Close your eyes and imagine to begin
Thelonius:
This mind can design
And realize through countless trials
Our dreams materialized in our skies
In our skies
Ryan:
The reward is only equal to the risk
We're not here to fix what is broken
And as the bigger picture comes into view
You'll forget all that you thought you knew
Doubt us while you can, we won't relent
Time will be our greatest monument.
Thelonius:
This mind can design
And realize through countless trials
Our dreams materialized in our skies
In our skies
This mind can design
And realize through countless trials
Our dreams materialized in our skies
In our skies

One Step at a Time
06:42
|
|||
Ryan:
I used to take too much pride
In being right
But as my ego melts away,
I remembered
I just want
Everyone to feel
The love that I felt
All I wanted you to feel
Is the purpose that I found
One step at a time
One step
Tracing mine
One step at a time
Thelonius:
People spend all this focus
Tearing each other down
But no one gets ahead
While we're holding each other back
Now is the time
To lift each other up
Now is the time
To transcend the illusion
Of our divide
Ryan:
I used to take too much pride in being right
But as my ego melts away, I remembered
I just want everyone to feel
The love that I felt
All I wanted you to feel
Is the purpose that I found
One step at a time
One step tracing mine
Thelonius:
In this world of uncertainty
And crippling doubt
I hear you calling me
Moving forward
Whether I run
Or if I have to crawl
If the walls are closing in
That just means
I have to go through them all
Ryan:
I used to take too much pride in being right
But as my ego melts away, I remembered
I just want everyone to feel
The love that I felt
All I wanted you to feel
Is the purpose that I found
One step at a time
One step tracing mine
It hurts to admit, but I can't do it alone
So God help me, we'll turn this world around
But I'll stand by you, (if you stand by me)
I'll forgive you, (if you forgive me)
I'll hold onto you, (if you hold onto me)
I'll lift you up, (if you lift up me.)
I'll stand by you, (if you stand by me)
I'll forgive you, (if you forgive me)
I'll hold onto you, (if you hold onto me)
I'll lift you up, (if you lift up me.)
I'll stand by you, (if you stand by me)
I'll stand by you, (if you stand by me)
I'll stand by you, (if you stand by me)
I'll stand by you, (if you stand by me)
I'll stand by you, (if you stand by me)
I'll stand by you, (if you stand by me)
(if you stand by me)
(if you stand by me)
(if you stand by me)
