As long as I can remember, even before I spoke, I was touching a piano. My mother would play for me and I thought it was absolutely the most beautiful thing in the world." So confesses singer/ songwriter/pianist Sarah Fimm; an artist whose provocative, intoxicating music draws from influences as varied as Bach, Chopin, Leonard Cohen, Bjork, Tori Amos and Alice In Chains. Her debut CD, Cocooned, received extensive airplay on over 500 college and commercial radio stations, while Billboard called her 2002 sophomore album, A Perfect Dream, "one of the most enchanting discoveries of the year." Though her voice frequently draws comparison to both Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos, Sarah Fimm's new CD, Nexus, further proves that she is one who innovates rather than imitates. Nexus is a riveting collection of 15 indispensable musical journeys that explore various themes of connection. "The Nexus idea is all about the journey, the connections you encounter while on the journey, and everything that goes on in between," Sarah explains. "I was reading Mark Buchanan's book Nexus: Small Worlds and the Groundbreaking Theory of Networks. And I got into the whole åsix-degrees' theory. I think that if people could see how they're connected to everything, then they wouldn't have to feel so alone, and maybe we wouldn't have all these other problems. I need to keep my message optimistic," she emphasizes. "There's no point in negative bantering. Life should be honored and appreciated, because our time here is really special." Recorded at Bear Tracks studio in Suffern, New York, Nexus was engineered by Lance McVickar, who co-produced along with Sarah and her bandmates, drummer Jim Perry and bassist Peter Geraghty. Songs like the gorgeous lead track "Velocity" and the ethereal, new-age feel of "Mercury" may again bring McLachlan to mind, but it is on the thinly veiled anti-war song, "Story of Us" where Fimm's deeply integrated influences truly crystallize into a form that is devastating in its simple beauty and stark, emotionally piercing lyrics. The band was in the midst of recording one of the albums' most compelling tunes, "Sky is Falling Down," when the August 2003 blackout occurred in New York. Though they were forced to abandon recording until power was restored, Sarah notes that the temporary inconvenience brought an unexpected payoff. "That night, we looked at Mars through a telescope and talked about what it would be like if everything really did just stop. When we went back to the song the next day, I had a much clearer idea of what it would sound like if the sky really fell and everything just ended. I do feel, as the lyrics say, that ådark isolation binds us.' Every single word of that song is about how I was feeling at that moment, about everything." Sarah Fimm was born in Oklahoma and raised in suburban Stamford, Connecticut. During a troubled adolescence, Sarah continued to study piano on her own while immersing herself in songwriting. "My teenage years made me even more determined to do something special with music and not just let my life fall apart at sixteen," she says. Once out of high school, Sarah attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she studied electronic and world music. There she met many influential people, including Mac Ritchey, who would produce her first two albums; and two fellow students, Perry and Geraghty, who later became the core of her band. Guitarist Matt Moldover joined in early 2004, completing the current lineup. "These guys all have amazing abilities," Sarah says. "They're multi-instrumentalists, are very good with programming and they're all open to learning new things. I love my band." Sarah released her debut album, Cocooned, in 2001, and the disc quickly created a buzz in the alternative underground. When the album received over 200,000 plays on MP3.com (scoring six Number 1 hits on the site's Alternative Charts), Sarah realized the vast networking potential of the Internet. "I couldn't believe how easily I connected with other independent musicians from all over the world, some of whom I ended up playing shows with. It was a wonderful avenue for introducing this music to the world and very enlightening to realize you don't need to go out and tour in order to get your music heard." Cocooned has sold more than 5,000 copies to date. Cocooned's follow up, A Perfect Dream, appeared in 2002. The new album confirmed Sarah's status as a very strong Internet artist, as tracks from the disc received 217,000 plays on MP3.com in only six months -- more than many major-label artists. A mix of atmospheric soft pop, smooth jazz, and ambient electronica, A Perfect Dream is definitely what could be called a 'heavy' album. Sarah explains, "I was about 18 when I started having an intense conflict about why I'm here and what I'm supposed to be doing. I've also always had a fascination with space and time and how we're all relative to that." Sarah's passionate desire for answers to her questions about meaning, purpose and connectedness directly fueled her songwriting on A Perfect Dream. A Perfect Dream also marked a turning point in Sarah's album production methodology. "For Cocooned it was just me and Mac producing, but on A Perfect Dream I really brought in Jim and Peter and we started to interact and collaborate like a band. Every musician wants to do their own thing and realize the dream in their head, but to really do it together is a challenge. There was a lot of conflict at the time, but that enabled us to really focus all of our energy into the music. It was heavy." The cinematic scope of Sarah's music hasn't escaped those in the film and TV worlds. Songs from both Cocooned and A Perfect Dream have appeared extensively in MTV's Real World and Road Rules series, Miramax Productions' Comic Book: The Movie (directed by Mark Hamill), the feature documentary A Space for Peace and the Lifetime television series 1-800-Missing. With the release of her ambitious third album, Nexus, Sarah Fimm is excited to reach new audiences and to "shake people up a little and make them feel something. I just want to put our music out there and see if it does anything for anyone, because it does something for me to be able to make it," she says. "There's nothing sadder to me than those who don't take time to listen and appreciate everything they have. Now, more than ever, people need music. People need to be listening."

Scream
What can you do when the poison in your veins starts to rot Pounding doors They are whores when yourself is all you've got But I still see the green Yes I still see that green And it makes me want to scream So a break in command starts causing flies But a flowing backward motion brings it back This thing in my perception has left us here to bleed And it makes me want to scream You can snort your way into heaven I'll assign the rooms You just count your sheep A little fairy pricked just tonight She said, "one wish is granted for the girl who hates the world So I gave her all my money in a jar of broken dreams I gave her all my screams So rest assured you little pigs All little piggies go to heaven I'll mobilize the souls You just count your sheep Is anyone here listening Human or undead Is anger just our nourishment Our piece of daily bread ‘Cause it's all a part of feeling of ripping out your weeds And it makes me want to scream Sexual Animals
Please come in the back door Close it behind you I won't ever tell them you're here Me I like the trapdoors The keeping of a secret Your affinity for deepness pulls me down Sexual animals Come inside of me Just enough to hurt this body I know that you know how Come inside of me You know it's exactly what I need So careful where you're touching I'm not ready yet What is there to catch you if the safety net has ripped Wide-eyed you look me over Unbuttoning my skin I take a deep breath in Sexual animals Crawl inside of me Just enough to hurt this body I know that you know how Come inside of me You know it's exactly what I need Your entourage is waiting by the car While I sit here bonding with some brand new scars Let's kiss goodbye Close your eyes Sleep he said You're already dead Sexual Animals Come inside of me just enough to hurt this body I know that you know how Come inside Come Inside After the Blue
The sky she asks for rain Clouds they start to blend to one Words they seem to move the sun So often we are buried by the truth We sit here far removed I wonder what will be after the blue A patient girl she waits As violets start to cringe again The hollow moon she starts to bend And fractured pieces of her distant youth Fly above to soothe A heart that's seen the sky After the blue How we like to tread on stars Treating them like stones Pretending they are sisters So we do not have to feel alone Seduced by friends of compromise I fight to find my nourishment Until I do I'm not content For now I wear my sorrow very true This life is ending soon For now I'm settled here But once I'm gone I'll come look beyond for you After the blue Valhalla Bad men, I sing the song Valhalla's where I'm waiting I watch with loving eyes from far away It's where I need you In my lullabies of sorrow you remain Valhalla's where you're coming ‘Cause here this burning madness had to die My heart screams come to me But here I can say nothing but goodbye If you're just another soldier then battle elsewhere please But if not tear me from this earth and take me to your seas Cause it's difficult to feel now And I ache in every bone A twisted fate has left us both alone Valhalla's where I'm waiting My devil and my angels too For they are joined and show themselves through you You lie beneath my skin now You wear this piece of metal close Just as close as I could ever come to touch you there If you are just a soldier then battle elsewhere please But if not tear me from this earth And take me to your seas Cause it's difficult to breathe now Can't you hear it in my tone The life in me has hardened into stone Until we reach Valhalla where I'll be your dear Persephone Look to shallow heavens and that's where I'll be Here I tempt the gallows ‘Cause there this love would be an art In Valhalla I'll be waiting for your heart
*** Thanx a lot to Chogu who updated this one *** Circus Type Thing Full of this stuff Just waiting for the sign Watching the years I am watching the flowers die The spider within holding on by string Still I'm all alone hearing this circus type thing Ask what I think And I'll tell you I think that it's frightening All of these places to dance and yet we are still A weightless improbable force has come to enlighten But why should we listen if there's nothing in it to kill Often I'm hearing these questions my friend You're never quite hearing the sounds But thanks for the voices These sweet little voices They follow me all the way down It seems that we dream hard For peaches and cream and their sweetness If we are what we eat Then why are we not sweet ourselves And where's this Arcadian gateway Once loved by Pandora Did she bring our demise or be true to the nature of self Often I'm seeing my goat-footed friend And often I see him in you Disguised as a song he campaigns for the end A few were reserved for the truth Yeah a few were reserved for the truth Finding no comforting words from the priest I've found that each season can sing If she'd survived beyond winter She might've seen the spring To see that we all make this circus type thing Bombay Cafe
I remember our day at the Bombay Café When I found out love ain't enough The old man at the bar tossing dreams into jars said Girl he ain't gonna show up And I stood there a mess and uncertain, Till he walked through the whites of the curtain I said I knew you would come He said I can't love anyone Everything I am and everything I do Just pulls me back to you I remember that day at the Bombay Café My hair getting soaked by the rain And your hand held my own Till that river of stone tore us apart at the veins But we fought it you know Like the wind fights the snow That's how everything goes I remember our day at the Bombay Café Most other things I can't recall And I can't recall just how I got here today Standing right over your grave He said I knew you would come I said I can't love anyone I remember that day at the Bombay Café And there can't be another one No there can't be another one Running from the Whole Mr. Cripple man do you still feel your hands The light you never fill She's waiting by the door While atoms play around You sit here to obstruct I never thought to think That what goes down does not come up Hostage on the gravity train Just when we move forward we fall back again The sharpness of his nail It hammers down the fold And in all this time We're just running from the whole Enter woman girl Enter to your left stage right The chaos it ensues beneath the coating of your skin Her boa it constricts Spotlight on a barren soul She needn't ask the stars just what it's like to feel star cold Hostage on the gravity train Just when we move forward we fall back again The sharpness of his nail it hammers down the fold And in all this time we're just running from the whole And when I leave again I'll cycle through this atmosphere Past a marching bands of souls They'll scrape me with their human eyes A taste of bitter earth I'll just bring with me a dollar's worth My face burns from the wind And it's time to shed my second skin We're hostage on this gravity train Just when we move forward we fall back again The sharpness of his nail It hammers down the fold In all this time we're just running from the whole Red Paper Bag So a red paper bag Broke my heart today No one knows that it came From your hands The blood is still perched By the third letter from the right The red paper bag Has been tucked away Safe from supply and demand But if I dare delight In its beauty I might Just keep dying again and again So the red paper bag tries to call to me As a tear drowns an ant on the floor I suppose it is worse To indulge in a curse than to fight But I'm just about dead from this tragedy Or am I she says with a grin I find out what it's worth Just by finding out how much it hurts And the state I'm in I'll just put the two corners together My soul plays a grave for the night As I bury my head in the pillows he says Perhaps in another life Sets Us Apart
I fashioned this ribbon from my own velvet tears I melted these flowers just to make you a ring Adorned with this madness You scream in the dark Perhaps it is this then That sets us apart Your beauty was potent I choke at the thought Your hair streams of ivy Your eyes crystalline stars Your beautiful nightmares You see them as art Perhaps it is this then that sets us apart And so I tied up my veins For that bow in your hair And I took blame for pain That was already there But when you reached the last stretch you ran back to the start Perhaps it is this then That sets us apart Can you feel Do you know the shallow ground that holds The beautiful piece of your heart That I never got to kiss And now all I do is miss those things That set us apart At Dawn
Random little things keep taunting me The rose left on my pillow after you leave Favorites turn to monsters as the seasons turn around I had no idea I'd feel so upside down Even now my mirror stands alone She nestles closely now up to the sun These visions do no good When they are badly drawn So when this night is over I will leave at dawn My story tells itself I stand in front of you My belly lies exposed for you to chew Thunder came in hope to kiss the storm Charming as he was I still said no I have nothing but my fists to fight you with This skin is so much tougher than the bone But I'm trying hard to sing to the fibers of a man Who couldn't see two people holding hands But night has come to pass And what I've felt has gone So when this night is over I will leave at dawn Every cent of suffering I offer now to pay If there is mercy mercy come find me Something lovely come alive and find me Cause if you don't I might just have to find myself Random little things were taunting me But now I've got this precious gift from tragedy A promise is a promise and I've made one The horizon's moving toward me I can see the sun I can see the sun
A perfect dream
Be Like Water
Don't chase ghosts Don't get too close Don't get caught Don't get spent Don't get bought Don't sell out Don't get bent Don't fuck your best friend If everything is just the way it should be Why am I still hungry Be Like Water Don't be shy Don't shut your eyes Don't get high Expand your mind Don't keep in touch Don't touch yourself Don't ever wanna be somebody else When everything is bad as it can be Never be angry Be Like Water Must be the answer you want I'm not your slave I'm not the one who burnt you out Fucked you up and put you on Broke you down Ask someone else To be that someone I can't be that someone Who can be like water Why can't I be the answer you want Wrong Side Up Wrong side up How I like to be In my comfortable highchair of agony And from here things are looking pretty fucked up Wrong side up Buried in here somewhere is the reason Maybe I don't care enough to find it Just to appease you would be wrong Just to write another song Forgive this hole that is my heart that's had enough Wrong side up If you were not would I still be Now inside the ground a victim of this age A little bit of nothing goes a long way Maybe I'll find what's right Now that I'm wrong side up Virus
Everyday she wallows in her dream Pacing back and forth with nothing in between The devastated girl has given up The boy has fallen to the fate of luck But tells her with a slight smile It's just a virus She laid on him And I can't touch it It's buried in And it's all for nothing This web of you Is just a cycle of abuse Since you said it's fine I might believe Dirty girls are easy to deceive A penny for your thoughts Or just to take your clothes off I'd rather dull the pain Than stand out in the rain To catch the virus That seems to be The undercurrent of my insanity The lowest layer that has been fused Beneath my cycle of abuse It's just a virus He says to me It's not quite the prison you make it out to be Too bad you're dying too bad but true As is this cycle of you Alien Boys
The alien boys are here today Clicking their heels behind me Chatter boy toys They couldn't find me I'm floating above I wanted to show you The milk of the moon You couldn't get past my name If there is life in this room I invite it to leave Never come back again They come from the dark They hide right behind the sun In beams of the dead they travel They travel too far To tear me up To break me down To put me into the lion's mouth To tear me up You broke me down You put me into the lion's mouth And I want you to know You tore me up You broke me down Alien boy Smoke
Everything that I love turns to smoke It billows out from nothing Laughing at my cries Holding the charred remains of the last dirty joke As if they know how it died Everyone I that I've loved has turned to smoke They come in single file and exit two by two As if they knew what was to come That I'm happier in the rain than the sun And now every day that has come has turned to smoke Still I hesitate to ask the great above what I have done As it crashes through my system Creation laughs at one With nothing but All there ever was

I don't know what's going on in this planet You look around this world...Israel, the Middle East, Bosnia, Africa What the fuck is wrong with this fucking planet What is wrong with these fucking people What are they doing here I don't know about you guys but I'm mad as shit Spit Trap Ghetto
Crazy getting silly with a fat old man and his alligator hands so cold Rubbin me down with a toothless frown Says he'd give twenty dollars to shoot his load Schizophrenic Simon with his crack jaw hacksaw Dirty Motherfucker look Everybody wants some Blood from babies Street cracked daisies Get ‘em at the dollar store Gia is forever All paper clipped together With her Christ magazines and smoke stained teeth Totally high Ready to die Revved up and ready to fly Lioness Like a Lioness I'd like to get to know you Let's take off our clothes And get close There And how about I circle you Like a lioness Licking her paws Use your hands Discover me One kiss could lead us to bliss Oh I love it when you go down And I get wet And fall apart You inspire me One kiss could lead us to bliss In the Red
I'm kind of in a watercolor wasteland The place you go to bow and pay the toll A never-ending system of abrasions Only there to control The way you suck me up into a nightmare The dirty way you cut me with a smile I hate to admit how I love when you give it to me In the red Crying out At the edge Looking down Every single minute takes an hour When you're in the power of the beast There's hate breeding hatred inside of my head And there's not that much left to be said In the red Crying out At the edge Looking down When you've fallen below all the shit you've been fed And you feel like you're gonna go mad Then you know you have come out Alive more than dead A Perfect Dream
Halfway gone Can't find the path You've fallen off There's this place in me for you Elements of me I see in twos Me looking back at you And there's this place in me To light this perfect dream I hear the reverie Please don't apologize You'll be immortalized In the weight of this melody In the daze of my perfect dream My perfect dream Shadows and Dust
And the ants go marching on Through the hills they sing their song For the good of the world they carry on But when the winter comes my darlings where will you go I built a little shelter for your hearts in my backyard Man kills man Man kills god Man kills everything that he can get his hands on Governments are planning their next bombing masquerade Who will do it first and when they do who will get paid Man kills man Man kills god Man kills everything that he can get his hands on Perhaps a single word before the sun begins to rust Are we just shadows and dust Salvia Path
Everyone is moving Everyone is floating around Into with confusion Never to be found out again Once I found the reason But lost it in a place I cant find To a world that I don't like And I'm quick to assume but never to ask Will we ever go back to Salvia Path And it's cold where the living don't go And everyone is moving But everyone is safe in the ground And the scene is a perfect photograph But we cannot go back to salvia path
Nexus
Losing Velocity Into another day Dull from consistency I can see only one thing I am losing velocity The whole world's gone mad My head sounds just like that Like a tree left without its leaves On another dirty city street As the earth moves slowly under my feet I am losing velocity We've forgotten what we had to be It was so important then Now they're numb to you and you to me We found the flower But cannot find the stem The curve is too controlled The water's getting colder Where do we have to go Must I patiently atrophy As I watch you watching me We are losing velocity I don't care for your complacency It all remains to be seen I can't guarantee anything But I do feel the mystery And I know it was meant to be But how do I know I'm still alive Cause I'm losing velocity If we stop moving How do we survive
Mercury Mercury I see visions of galaxies Where you are is where I'll be someday And you puzzle me Am I made of you Are you made of me Cause I'm so confused Mercury How you gaze into me With your vast display of constancy You enchant me Mercury I have found something in your eyes That you have found in mine Mercury We don't have time Mercury Everyone has their day But I pray Our worlds collide And form strength tonight Mercury I see visions of galaxies Where you are is where I'll be someday Just another piece of history From far away
The Story Of Us Listen up You don't want to hear this Ignore me if you must But I'm trying to tell you something About the story of us Another one born Another one dies What's the cost of one man's life As our differences divide us Must I listen here in silence To what is becoming what never was It's the story of us No one knows who started the war No one knows what we've been fighting for Watch our history unravel thread by thread Watch us all go down in the end What will become of what never was It's the story of us Six degrees is all it takes Buildings and bridges Connect all the dots What's the cost of one man's life Watch the mystery unravel thread by thread Watch it all go down in the end What will become of what never was It's the story of us Water and power Power and land What's the cost of one man's life I'll bury it inside my capsule And open it in fifty years Maybe then there will be some answers there As to what has become what never was The story of us Six degrees is all it takes Six degrees is all
Strange The sun has set The ground is cold and wet And I still haven't left And time she let us rest For long enough But we're growing up Things are different You used to listen Isn't it strange How can we go on like this Flies in the dark Looking for a spark But something's gotta give ‘Cause if it won't change How can we go on like this How can I live It's just a dream It's just a silhouette That hasn't happened yet But the Earth is moving fast And if I'm gone before the dawn Take all that there was And make it live Isn't it strange How can we go on like this Flies in the dark Looking for a spark But something's gotta give ‘Cause if it won't change How can we go on like this How can I live ‘Cause it's just another moment I could've played the game I could've done without this But I didn't And why can't I acknowledge The more things change The more they stay the same Isn't it strange How can we go on like this Flies in the dark Looking for a spark But something's gotta give ‘Cause if I won't change How can it go on like this How can I live
Nexus The outside opens Behind the ground I'm coming down through the nexus And I see flurries Of energy And I see visions of Damascus Of our last kiss I'm coming down through the nexus I thought I'd buried the hatchet Between the moons of aria Then I became your reaction to us And I couldn't give it up Let's suppose you were Just the answer for What I was looking for What I had lost before What I've been searching for all this time Just in case the world rejects us I'm coming down through the nexus
Sky Is Falling Dark isolation binds us We're all twisted up in clouds Hellbound The sky is falling down The beast inside of all of us Is dying to get out To stealthily kill And live within the trust that we give it There's the beast inside of all of us Let it be let out now Let it roam free among us The sky is falling down Can we stop Just for a moment Look at the ocean Don't look up The sky is falling down If we are blessed to witness it again For the betterment of man All we can do is cherish the sound The sky is falling down
Be What You Wanna Be I've walked along the edge I've seen my death It came before my eyes Blinded by the light I realized Too long I've been without The feeling of alive Lost inside the fog I've been lost inside my mind I forgot that I am free I can be what I want to be Live Find the means Be what you want to be You can exist Find your reality Be what you wanna be Dancing on the shards I found pain I found the feeling of awake Isn't it serene How we can behave Our paisley brains Numb inside the daze Can't we be Can't you be Be what you want to be You can live Find your reality Be what you wanna be Powered by illusions all around I have made the choice To find my voice And let it ring throughout the cave And end this happiness in slavery I won't go down that way I will be I can be Be what I wanna be I can exist Within this reality And be what I want to be
Paradise All that I wanted today was to be let out And I'm so tired of these cages I'd like to burn them all down Why can't you separate your mind Why can't you separate your mind We could call this paradise You can call it what you want And I'm feeling all these pains Inside my head that I could do without And they are messing up my guidance system Blocking out the signal route Why can't we separate our minds Why can't we separate our minds We could call this paradise We can call it what we want Paradise It should be in then out Not the other way around I found god It isn't what you thought it was It's just as empty as the cause You can call it what you want But if we separate our minds Separate our minds We could call this paradise If we can separate our minds Then we can separate these lines Separate our minds We could call this paradise
Walk Away Take your feet and walk away You're no longer welcome Some little voice inside of me Said take your feet and walk away Count to ten Take it slow It's as though it's no one's fault at all Don't turn around If you do there will be hell to pay Just walk away Walk away How did I hurt you Let me make it all ok Before we part and we believe That this was all there was to say Will you be guest Make the change It's as though it's no one's fault at all Put on your walking shoes See you the next time you pass through The next time I will have to ask you to Walk away And I never said this would be easy I can hardly stand We just keep spinning around Spinning around it I wish you well You can take your bow I'll take what's left of me now And walk away
December You are the one Who must go on Go and tell them There could've been something better I don't have the answer Beyond the wind There lies a star It's waiting for a world to start No one can remember We may not see December Are we enough To end the sun Like my vision Ending in our self-destruction Shattering our selfish prison What can we do History has taken over The same mistake a million times We're buried in the dark forever We may not see December There's blood beside the river There's murder in the minds of all of us The sign has been delivered There is no trust above Only darkness in the things we love. What can we do Now we have to start all over The same mistake A million times And all the signs are moving so much closer No one wants to live forever We may not see December
Orchids We're flowers You and I We share a light I need you We're orchids But I long to love you like flowers do Just to feel your sweet perfume I want you We're orchids Will we never get to be Will I ever get to be Will I ever get to feel you in me The seeds lie unaltered But on some planet on some other moon We bloom still I love you We're orchids
Great Wide Open I often dream of the ocean Misty with salty perfume As I take to the sea The night goes with me By the light of a crystalline moon Into the great wide open All of the stars become her Into the great wide open space we go Out here I seek understanding Just a place for myself in the whole We have lost all control A warm west wind blows Let us go to explore the unknown Into the great wide open All of the stars become her Into the great wide open space we go And I think I have found just the answer But can you let it unfold When you can't live up to The highest plateau You can come with me We can go Into the great wide open All of the stars become us Into the great wide open space we go Into the great wide open All of the stars become us Into the great wide open space we go Let's go
The Vanishing Sessions (B Sides Part I)
Vanishing Here in the muck among the bees I fear I'm fearing you In the night we are perishing Fear is the cloud that hides in me I fear I'm losing you In the light we are perishing Open your eyes up Open up your eyes Open your eyes We're vanishing Fear of the cloud Of yellow leaves Of the indifference Near almost gone And what a tease Oh god it's beautiful Our cup is emptying Open your eyes We're vanishing Open your eyes up We're vanishing Open your eyes We're vanishing Open your eyes We're vanishing Open your eyes up Fragile A walk in the dark This place where we are So fragile Alight in fear Fragile Everything seems lost It's you reminding us That everything we are is fragile A flicker a spark Take over this heartless ocean There's water here Fragile Everything seems lost It's you reminding us That everything we are Is fragile Message A point in time Forgive now all you hold in Warm cry glide Lift yourself out proud rose Firelike Cause where you go is where you are Blue eyes loud not old And in this sacrifice Under the weight of life Oh how small all things can seem Think of warm vanilla wings The ones I always wrapped you in And just remember we are more than what we Seem to be Of waking dreams reminding The mirror falls upon your feet once more Be Like Water Don't chase ghosts Don't get too close Don't get caught Don't get spent Don't get bought Don't sell out Don't get bent Don't fuck your best friend If everything is just the way it should be Why am I still hungry? Be like water Don't be shy Don't shut your eyes Don't get high Expand your mind Don't keep in touch Don't touch yourself Don't ever wanna be somebody else When everything is bad as it can be Never be angry Be like water Must be the answer you want. I'm not your slave I'm not the one who burnt you out Fucked you up and put you on Broke you down Ask someone else To be that someone I can't be that someone Who can be like water Why can't I be the answer you want?

Horizon All's externally cold Graciously following Have I lost control Who did I used to be I'm a better soul Than I used to be I'm a better soul All is glitter not gold And I am not anything When all lays still Belies the sting I'm a better soul Than I used to be I'm a better soul (know what you've received) Than I used to be (know what you're giving) Who we are Who we love What we want to stay close to If we learn what we are not The very thing we try to hold onto Forgive a lie What is for sure Only blind eyes know not what they're looking for They'll be another time for me and you
Red Yellow Sun Such is the cage that has been offered Don't hide your face away in melted corners Shivering early now and often I am the bird that beats inside the coffin No cloud obscures this red yellow sun And I lie alone quietly awake I will never leave you in this hollow But I am the bird whose wings you like to borrow Little did I know you were the silence No cloud obscures This red yellow sun And I lie And I lie No greater god No greater tether Our hell and our heaven Always be together No cloud obscures this red yellow sun When love and love become One

Violet I have seen the devil in his swing Laughing at me from behind the wall I hear footsteps by the door But I can't answer All is not in vain And I once had a dream That we were paid in dust and miracles All is full of trust And all is waking up Seek not to self-destruct We can be more than what we are If we choose to Laughing are the faces that I see There's more than what was once behind me If I can cherish my belief that we are made of More than what we know All is not in vain Then the devil grew his wings This angel came and said to him All things come that only fade away Yet all is possible All is full of trust And all is waking up Seek not to self-destruct We can be more than what we are If we choose to
Guardian Half soul I am waiting for Your arrival when the wind blows in Will I have the courage to let silence be To feel anything About this place we're in It isn't Eden There are times in life When we just crumble When fire leaves her singe It is the real thing Tattered daydreams graze The unreal scenes that fill my days Half Soul I've been learning more Our survival can be a trying thing Will I have the courage to let silence be To feel anything About this place we're in It isn't Eden There are times in life When we just crumble When fire leaves her singe It is the real thing Tattered daydreams graze The unreal scenes that fill my days Will I have the courage to let silence be To feel anything On the street today I saw happy faces playing Behind black iron bars in spring Are you hearing me Is my voice carrying I'm your guardian Will you be the purpose that Will lift me out and pull me back I'm your guardian And in the shatter light I talk to you tonight Because I cannot sleep again There's still much life to live And we will take in all of it I still have so much left for you Where there once was a fight Peace will sweetly blow And in your face my life will be told
To Be Alive Come undo me gently For I am sure to rust Don't you cry And don't you worry Cause all that's been is done If you should find That the cost of your freedom Has climbed way too high And you'd pay for a reason To be alive Flat spin on re-entry Dizzy glazed unfixed I can't take the horn of plenty The eagle bangs his wing If you should find that the cost of your freedom Has climbed way too high And you'd pay for a reason To be alive If you should find That the cost of your freedom Has climbed way too high And you'd pay for a reason To be alive If you should find That the cost of your wisdom Seems to deny everything that you wished for Still you're alive
How does it feel If the road less travelled Doesn't lead me back to spring I just have one thing I'm dying To let you know How does it feel To know you are I can feel it in the trust You're the only one Well isn't it always something To be allowed in grace To live in what you do Not what you say How does it feel To know you are I can feel it in the trust You're the only one I should say thank you How does it feel To know who you are You're the only one
Only the Sum of All the voices quiet They don't see me Things feel kind of quiet When we're empty Not everything is something to hide Just stay alive Too much confusion is happening Too much illusion to purify Blink you shall see Not in need Things change clean We are just a paradigm Not everything is something to hide Not everything is something to hide Just stay alive Real things deceive Twisting seeds over me Watching faces in the night Lean close to body to steal the light Not everything is something to hide Just stay alive
Levi Show me around your faded cup Is it filled with more than dust I used to be Filled up like that I may have forgotten In the sacred haze In the passing of our days No one can take what you give me No one can stop the sun from burning No one can take what you give me Levi Flowing back down then rising up This is the way we seem to be Cold is the dream That swallows us Stillborn to being And like the flame We didn't ask No one can take what you give me No one can stop the sun from burning No one can take what you give me Levi
Burning A narrow sun Is driven down Your eyes have gone I'm still in cloud It goes beyond the flesh and blood No hand can touch The others In dreaming I see you And you're not shaking Like you used to In dreaming I see you And you're not shaking Like you used to A narrow sun Is driven down Your eyes have gone And I'm still proud
Near Infinite Possibility
Soul Let Swim Soul let swim Resign yourself Exist to it Let fire swell There is no judgment waiting Only arms that reach in the night No sense anticipating Your secret eye You look out But you see in Come out somehow Soul let swim There is no judgment waiting Only arms that reach in the night No sense anticipating Your secret eye There is no judgment waiting Only arms that reach in the night No sense anticipating Your secret eye I prefer to Giving's not for getting back Or we spring into nothingness We must get back I prefer to hold the line Forgiving not forgetting you Never apart or cast in time Forgiving not forgetting you Do you see it Soul let swim Invisible Satellites I am more than a shape that is spoken More than I seem you've just never known it I may be less than what you created There is just no sense in concealing this Everything is what you believe it is Everything is what you believe How long have I been searching For these invisible satellites How long have I been searching For these invisible satellites Patterns I see burnt in the road ahead Yielding signs of what has been stolen You are still blood filling my ocean Everything is what you believe How long have I been searching For these invisible satellites How long have I been searching For these invisible satellites How long have I been searching For these invisible satellites How long have I been searching For these invisible satellites Closer Black night won't stop me There's no trapping light No love no cry No such mercy You sip from a loaded gun You do not know what you've gotten into All will pass that seems to be As you run along the wire You look for reasons to hide You can't get closer There maybe something to life That we don't know yet The road is white I'm on it with you tonight No love no cry When the flood comes crashing in You sip from a loaded gun You do not know what you've gotten into All will pass that seems to be As you run along the wire You look for reasons to hide You can't get closer There maybe something to life That we don't know yet Yellow All the love inside of me turned yellow The vision what I thought was real turned hollow I've been looking at the wound and not the arrow Don't be so quick to trust your eyes They have been petrified All is white when terrified but what is unreal dies Tight dead space From where we breathe goes narrow Flow into the future that we don't know Walk along the path until tomorrow Don't be so quick to trust your eyes They have been petrified All is white when terrified But what is unreal dies Sit upon your broken shelf And watch it fall away Why does everybody go Why won't you stay Say No More Flood the tones of home I can feel your bones come through At last a kindred soul I don't have to be alone Say no more Sick with deep concern And there's just no grace No face we know Ebb and flow On the silent road There is much to listen to The melody is full So live with what you have in you Say no more Sick with deep concern And there's just no grace No face we know Ebb and flow Why why why Not rise to the dawn from the inside If I could then why should I Just because you're back again Say no more Sick with deep concern And there's just no grace No face we know Ebb and flow Terrified Cold blue twilight Clear wandering This killing feeling kills You're too suspicious to let anyone in While our dreams lie there still After all I won't regret it I will not forget We're just too terrified To open up and look inside What is this feeling you see in me How am I supposed to care With shadows dancing everywhere Burnt upon the faces of the ones I once believed Go on slowly walk around the room Feel things touch you There's no real safety to pacify you And no sense waiting We're just too terrified To open up and look inside What is this feeling you see in me How am I supposed to care With shadows dancing everywhere Burnt upon the faces of the ones I once believed I am of the mind We have tunnel vision I am of the mind We know right from wrong There is no time To leave each other unforgiven We're just too terrified To open up and look inside What is this feeling you see in me How am I supposed to care With shadows dancing everywhere Burnt upon the faces of the ones I once believed Disappear Disappear love Disappear friend Disappear fear Disappear us I still hope the sun will come in I still hope the sun will come in Disappear trust Can I know it enough Do you hold it in your hand The memory of us I still hope the sun will come in I still hope the sun will come in Up From Dust I am more than what you believe Some shadow you receive There's nothing dangerous here I'm not an echo ghost No one's holding you You're not bound by anything I lose myself to emotion I'm betrayed by the will of my desire Failing to reason Though it's more than a feeling Now I can see it Our way to freedom lies in love Up from dust I have touched a father's soul Laid my body in the road No I never meant to hurt a fly Cause moments go by And I don't know why The orange set sky rides high Yes I know the river will go on With or without me no harm done Failing to reason Though it's more than a feeling Now I can see it Our way to freedom lies in love Up from dust I will not be resigned to leaving I will not allow forgetting Failing to Reason Though it's more than a feeling Now I can see it Our way to freedom lies in love Up from dust Sing I am a temporary fixture Your face falls through me that picture The ordinary world can be so cruel But don't ask why Sing Let me begin By telling you things You know me Just sing and a voice may come in When all's forgotten and lonely Sing Everyone has their needs and wants Some desire that haunts the heart The whole damn world of fools Please listen closely close your eyes Sing Let me begin By telling you things You know me Just sing and a voice may come in When all's forgotten and lonely Pacify your eyes By summoning disguises you used to Laugh loud just to die Now you abandon as you choose to Sing Let me begin Make everything a story Just sing And a voice may come in When all's forgotten and lonely Sing Let me begin Make everything a story Just sing And a voice may come in not forgotten and lonely Sing Forgive Me There sits a man that cries He will not look He will not look If I give you my eyes would you see him I gave you everything but you didn't look You didn't look Forgive me if I won't wait Forever takes so long when you're in pain And only in the leaving Do we feel the rain I lent a hand to you but you bit it once You bit it once And I've been feeling it But I want to trust I want to trust And every day goes by I think of you I think of you Forgive me if I won't wait Forever takes so long when you're in pain And only in the leaving Do we feel the rain Everything Becomes Whole Touch killing Need feeling Your hand so warm I know you as the lure And then it comes apart Forever will we want It's in the death of yourself that Everything becomes whole It's in the death of yourself that Everything becomes whole Unwilling to see out The memory goes I know your love as the cure I cannot let it go It's in the death of yourself that Everything becomes whole It's in the death of yourself that Everything becomes whole Won't you take me for a ride Cause there's no self-control It's in the death of yourself that Everything becomes whole It's in the death of yourself that Everything becomes whole Flames The time has come My light is gone Will I receive again This bitter song plays all night long And pain my sweetest friend Hold me now like we will never die The flame still burns The seasons turn I wonder is there an end I know you've gone on for so long Crashing out crashing in Hold me now like we will never die Oh how precious time can seem The time has come My light is gone Will I receive again This bitter song plays all night long I wonder is there an end Hold me now like we will never die Morning Time Blue drops crawling Tongue is hardened Not a simple thing to look away It's just this feeling We are the real thingy And I won't stop until you sway What is this I see before my eyes Your face in mine Tear me apart if it makes you feel better Born to die high birds of a feather I know a piece of something wise All comes apart but is always together Silent not to slip away It does no good to turn away Come in close to the mirror's eye Reap the stark face of morning time I have to believe There is a reason Something to being here still When I get to hold you And be proud of you That brings me back to myself What is this I see before my eyes Your face in mine Tear me apart if it makes you feel better Born to die high birds of a feather I know a piece of something wise All comes apart but is always together Silent not to slip away It does no good to hide away Come in close to the mirror's eye Reap the stark face of morning time White washed webs of afterthoughts swim deep Distilled in sorrow Tear me apart if it makes you feel better Born to die high birds of a feather I know a piece of something wise All comes apart but is always together Silent not to slip away It does no good to hide away Come in close to the mirror's eye Reap the stark face of morning time
Potnia Theron Rock And Roll Star Do you wanna be fine Like a rock and roll star Drinkin' up their eyes Every night after dark Do you wanna be right Have you got somethin' to prove Do you burn at night Like a lie burns you Do you wanna be rich Lavish flush blood pools Money can't buy love Money can buy you Will there be a day When we just break the rule And just once we say Life is what we once knew Before we blow away Will there be a day Be fine Like a rock and roll star Drinkin' up their eyes Every night after dark Do you wanna be right Have you got somethin' to prove Do you burn at night Like a lie burns you Will there be a day Give Me Give me words to lend some Swollen eyes becoming numb Rage in vivid color Like a dream You could touch my mind love You could crawl inside of This heart that keeps on beating To believe There's no use in fighting When the dark is biting You churn around me like a hurricane I can hear the silence In your voice It's violent You clutch I can't let go It's just insane Give me somethin' real Something I can touch One more wicked rush To pass the day Something I can feel Someone I can trust Not one more game Not one more masquerade Turn my blood to water I'm a lamb to slaughter No life is lived Without a price to pay Still starts colliding Particles dividing I'll dream of you I'll never be the same Give me somethin' real Something I can touch One more wicked rush To pass the day Something I can feel Someone I can trust Not one more game Not one more masquerade Turn my words to lend some Swollen eyes becoming numb Rage in vivid color like a dream Give me somethin' real Something I can touch One more wicked rush To pass the day Something I can feel Someone I can trust Not one more game Not one more masquerade I Am I am the shadow in the sky I control you I'm the belief that you won't die I can hold you You cannot silence me I can scream louder I am what I believe I am You can pretend You're not afraid But I can feel you You shuffle good men To their grave I won't fear you You cannot silence me I can scream louder I am what I believe I am Now it only seems It's impossible to dream A game we like to play Because nothing is safe Whisper and say The reflection's the same When the illusion breaks down I'll be left in the sound You cannot silence me I can scream louder I am what I believe I am You cannot silence me I can scream louder I am what I believe I am Killing Machine You looked like a ghost As the sun gleamed A plan flies over And his mama cries She says don't give up your life For someone else's lies Visions of obscenity Ambiguity When memory gets Impossible to manage Then he looked at me And said I've given everything I am But this dream It's haunting me You'll see I'm a sweet Killing Machine And his mama cries She says Don't give up your life For these Visions of obscenity Ambiguity Hostility When memory gets impossible To manage Cast out Passed out Laying on the highway It burns inside my head The memory of it Is fire in my dreams You see I'm a sweet Killing Machine One More Step Yeah I know your name I've seen you here before I've been the one insane enough To let this game go on longer Another man lays down His brother knows he's gone And in the name of trust They wrap him in a flag And send him back to dust And it's one more step in the wrong direction One more shadow born to rule our minds There is a man insane He has nowhere to go So they give him a gun They send him out to kill children Say they're saving us Another woman is slain By men who've come undone They put a hand on her shoulder Push her to her knees And tell her God is love And it's one more step in the wrong direction One more shadow born to rule our minds Talk To Me Your face gets colder Growing ice under vein If I should be a dream Then let it be a dream waking Hear and believe That you are here Inside me Eternity divides us into Broken lines To break free Come talk to me Come talk to me I rest in you You rest in me Come we'll be blind To mesmerize ‘Til we can feel euphoria If you'll be quiet I'll be patient like rain If I should be a dream Then let it be a dream waking Feel and believe That you are here Beside me My memory lies In the arms of desire Stay Please Come talk to me Come talk to me I rest in you You rest in me Come we'll be blind To mesmerize ‘Til we can feel euphoria Bird Of A Feather Hold Still Be tethered to gleam When nothing is seamless When fear becomes belief Gold will Lose value in time Don't forget your life Take moments in stride It's just a dream Only the lonely will fall I'm a bird of a feather So I know I can soar If we survive Hell Is Imagined Unhinge me I'm hungry Your love is my control Design me I'm dying I don't know which way to go I'm not the one you have broken I'm not the face that you hide I tell you I need some time Here then You're hell is imagined Listen to the sound As you come through Pacify Need peace of mind Riddles running ragged Render us blind Come touch me You crush me The line is soft and thin The heart is still at war And you're still knockin' at my door I'm not the self-destructor I'm not the poisonous vine I tell you I need some time Here then You're hell is imagined Listen to the sound As you come through Pacify Need peace of mind Riddles running ragged Render us blind The Sun Every day that I'm free I'm watching you from here Watching you Disappear When innocent men are thrown Into early graves When too many lives Need saving I touch your hand and say We are here to be free To know danger To know uncertainty But You're Only in your head Within fear and discontent And that sorrow it carries Has our song been sung Have we beaten the sun Has our race been run All the way When we break we bend That's how we know that we're there And when you look up See my face And now What if we just died Flying high in the sky Never waking Has our song been sung Have we beaten the sun Has our race been run All the way down Everything is just a little confusing And we think we have been left alone There really is no such thing There really is no such thing Faster than our eyes can lie Straighter than an arrow flies Faster than our senses tell us Has our song been sung Have we beaten the sun Has our race been run All the way down Every Single Face Can you reach out your hand Can you make me understand ‘Cause I love to hear you say Every single face Has its own place in this world Every little space Has a little bit of grace inside Can you feel that I'm right there There's no reason to mistrust No wickedness there Just the thought That we'd be chained Every single face Has its own place in this world Every single face has its own place In this world And who knows Where the road will lead All of us stand on a dot That's spinning Thinking all that there is We can see Every single face Has its own place in this world Every little space Has a little bit of grace inside

Planting Oblivion
Bring Me A Light Storm clouds gathering gingerly As if alive Bring me a light Savagery leaves such damaging seeds Lost in the deep By the banks of belief They rise Swim bitterly against The sweetest goodbye Bring me a light to shine Storm clouds gathering faster than Our ghosts can hide Bring me a light Only love escapes The weight of wickedness disguised No one's listening Anymore We got one foot out the door One foot out the door No one's listening Anymore We got one foot out the door One foot out the door Hold on tight Hold on tight Gotta love right now Love right now We've gotta hold on tight Hold on tight Gotta love right now Love right now Rapturous Night Hot golden sky My eyes cannot recognize What is this dream that we dream Warm tears on fire The weight of desire Sinking us into the deep Yearn to believe If only to pacify For emptiness There's no reprieve Stand in the light Arms wide Receive the dark Let it fall into your heart Rapturous night Bring me strength to come alive Forgive those who can't be consoled Cling to the vine Beloved you know it's true You're of Not a part of this world Broken Arrow We can fly like broken arrows You can come with me We will go where the wind won't follow I can carry thee We can die like blooming flowers In the arms of the sea Play the game like there's no tomorrow Lift yourself Laugh with me In the end we're all butterflies waiting For our turn to be Don't be scared Don't fear shadows baby In the end We're all memories Red Rose Invisible circles dancing in the air Only where water falls Can we learn what has been sleeping there All along As time moves on Nowhere to crawl Nowhere to turn We're all sick and unprepared For what's to come For what's to come What if I could stand in the sun If I could be there If I could feel that If I could care Red Rose From what grows love Will you let go To free us Red Rose From what grows love Will you let go To free us Shades of crimson and purple Swim inside my mind Like the rhythms and the rhymes of you All night All night What if I could forgive Not forget With grace At best How far we have to go We're so alone What if my thoughts They flew white as snow And I could stand inside the sun And just be there Just be there Red Rose From what grows love Will you let go To free us Red Rose From what grows love Will you let go To free us Floods come They can change us As all things must change Sing out Smash that rain cloud With your wings out Free Human You don't need to hide Let your love shine We don't need no walls Take em all down Human All too human Human All too human We don't need no eyes To feel the rain We don't need no shame Human All too human Human All too human You don't need to hide Let your love shine You don't need no walls baby Let them fall Cause you're Human All too human Human All too human Tripping Daisies Lost in maybes With the falcons soaring high We were young and crazy Nobody asking why Tripping daisies Kissing stars behind your eyes Lost in maybes I just can't get you out of my mind Wild is the wind I take you in Does it matter anymore Is it a crime Is it a sin To keep what's yours When there's so much love to give Why'd you push me baby You're afraid it's almost your time Are you lost in maybes I can't get you out of my mind Cold wind blows clear Your fear makes the moments long You say that you're here But it seems like you're already gone Wild is the wind I take you in Does it matter anymore Is it a crime Is it a sin To keep what's yours When there's so much love to give There is not a day where I don't see your face there Looking back at me from nowhere Each and every day I Take a breath and climb Close my eyes and sigh Am I still dreaming Cold wind blows clear Your fear makes the moments long And you say you're here Forever near But it seems like you're already gone It seems like you're already gone Happy People It must be a dream We all got it wrong Everybody screamin' all day long Cut me a piece Talk to the beast If you get yourself together You may live to see World spinnin' around you baby If it's too much to bear Play me a song Write me a rhyme Everything sounds right If it's in time Open your hands Make strangers dance Never know when it'll be Your last night World spinnin' around you baby I know you just don't care World keeps spinnin' around you baby If it's too much to bear Who do you want to be There's always misery Look at Look at Those happy people Just go deep behind their eyes Pretend smiles as they lie No way to believe their own disguise Happy People Give me a line Let's make it rain Run into the darkness No fear or shame Riddle me this Riddle me that Don't waste no time with pointless chitchat World keeps spinnin' around you baby I know you just don't care Who do you want to be There's always misery Look at Look at Those Happy People Just go deep behind their eyes Pretend smiles as they lie No way to believe their own disguise Happy People Blackest Heart Will there be a world When we wake up tomorrow Will there be a song Or any hope to borrow Faces are so long And words seem so hollow There are fires in the sky We're all running out of time Can there be love In minds designed to kill Can the blackest heart Remain good still Forgive the ones that hurt They cannot bear to feel Someone hurt them once And they never learned to heal Even voices turn to dust We must learn to trust each other When spirit turns to blood We can go no further Can there be love In minds designed to kill Can the blackest heart Remain good still

Counting waves (White Birds EP) Why do you fear change You're folding in trust And I'm trying to help you see Your eyes so fixed and hollow Only serve, to paralyze this dream Go on, carry on, I'll be Counting waves Go on, carry on, I'll be Counting waves When you go near to the edge You'll see the waters rise The tide under this moonlit sky Will pull you out, and take you into Why do you fell shame Isn't this love Cause I'm trying to help you see Can you not seek to follow Can you not seek to know The space between Go on, carry on, I'll be Counting waves Fear not to last This too shall pass Love your days When you go near to the edge You'll see the waters rise The tide under this moonlit sky Will pull you out, and take you into When everything's locked And we're trying to find the key Today is just a shadow Of what tomorrow could be Go on, carry on Be strong Counting waves Fear not to last This too shall pass Love your days When you go near to the edge You'll see the waters rise The tide under this moonlit sky Will pull you out, and take you into When you go near to the edge You'll see the waters rise The tide under this moonlit sky Will pull you out, and take you into
Danger Walkin' round the bedroom Circles in my head You put me in the red daze I can't hear you Voices locked in cycle Soaked in denial Set me free Honey set me free I thought I had been Safe and sound Then I listened to you Trusted words to be True in measure Keepin' us together Sure was sweet honey Sure was sweet Danger I believe You're blinding me You're blinding me Danger I believe You're blinding me You're blinding me Drivin' down the dirty Highway in the morning Eyes as dark as onyx Loaded guns Inner spells of violence Hidden by lashes Behind the gate you vanish Into the sun Into the sun Danger I believe You're blinding me You're blinding me Danger I believe You're blinding me You're blinding me Danger You deceive Set me free Set me free Fly

In swollen beating eyes We're white lace strings of time Best let the feather Carry on Do as you will do Dance like you're a child And never bring the level Down Find beauty, bring it out From blind and fading eyes Best let the feather

(White Birds EP) My sapphire stone You lie above I'm wandering in sunlight love We're fireflies, we're not alone If we should come to rest In the palm of heaven's hand Then may we know the Sand we lie upon If we should come to rest In the palm of heaven's hand And out of many there Return to one Your fragile soul Is tired enough So move on slow we never stop Your crypt of light, yet to be known If we should come to rest In the palm of heaven's hand Then may we know the Sand we lie upon If we should come to rest In the palm of heaven's hand And out of many there Return to one When all is hurt Be fit to fall As rain on earth When all is hurt Be fit to fall As rain on earth Home will call When all is hurt Be fit to fall As rain on earth When all is hurt Be fit to fall As rain on earth Home will call If we should come to rest In the palm of heaven's hand Then may we know the Sand we lie upon If we should come to rest In the palm of heaven's hand And out of many there Return to one White birds
