All the things we've done Shape the lucky one Creates-a picture sun Forerun Racing down the past Future coming fast No time to look round Fades-to gas Little girl of mine Wears a simple sign Vanished over time Little girl of mine Where has your time gone? Out the door and on. I've lost sight of what we've seen Now that love and war have been I look for our dearest dream Now that life has shattered at the seam You thought the world real Instead you found ideal Shaped to your surreal Go steal You never found the key So you’ll always be Without the things you need Indeed Little girl of mine Wears a simple sign Vanished over time Little girl of mine Where has your time gone? Out the door and on. I've lost sight of what we've seen Now that love and war have been I look for our dearest dream Now that life has shattered at the seam

Anvil 03:01
I’d love to say good bye and never meet again Until I die I think I’m done with you forever, now and then I hear your name I get a feeling that you’re taking me apart I’m sick and tired of all the waiting and the shadows and the dark Ahh… Cripple the wing without saying anything Ahh… Breaking the bones and beginning to sing You got it all You got anvil in your heart When you fall You can say I fell apart You got it all You got anvil in your heart When you fall You can say I fell apart I’m going to a country far away from yours And when I settle down I’ll think about the distance between us, and then I’ll laugh Because the wind that blows, and flowers that do grow Will have a turn to live again in harmony without your aching pain Ahh… Cry to yourself if your going to complain Ahh… My what a talent you have for disdain You got it all You got anvil in your heart When you fall You can say I fell apart You got it all You got anvil in your heart When you fall You can say I fell apart

You think you’ve got me on my knees You think you know it all You think you'll show me where to go You don't know where I'll fall I knew I'd never see you round Now that was most if it You went to prison in a ball You knew not where to sit I'm a singer But don’t you take me for real Politician And now you take me for real You saw me one time but you Never thought I'd put you away Young people got me Wracking up my brains every day I'm a singer But don’t you take me for real Politician And now you take me for real Five runners couldn’t Pull your horses away Young flowers got me Beating up my bones anyway I'm a singer But don’t you take me for real Politician And now you take me for real I'm a singer Don’t you take me for real Politician

Touch Of Shy 03:17
I’ll give you time to think about my mind You’re gonna lose yourself you’re on a fine line Standing around in the rain and the clouds You’re like a ten year lady gotta figure it out If you open your eyes to the dirt and the sand To the dogs who come running at your command You got drips coming down, hips to get ‘em up The sweat getting sticky, the skin to blow up Yeah! I’ve got to tell you what you need to know (Couldn’t love you anyway) You’ve got to listen to me now (I couldn’t love you anyway) Your beauty fires up inside me but (Couldn’t love you anyway) I’ve got to tell you how it is, I couldn’t love you anyway! The way you move the way you make me feel Got all my money on a kiss to seal And the time it never comes, time that you see 5 or 6 people here talking to me You’re so pretty with your hair up high And your sweet red lips with a touch of shy Baby so fine at the end of the line And every boy walks in says “If only she was mine!” I’ve got to tell you what you need to know (Couldn’t love you anyway) You’ve got to listen to me now (I couldn’t love you anyway) Your beauty fires up inside me but (Couldn’t love you anyway) I’ve got to tell you how it is, I couldn’t love you anyway!

The Observer 21:12
OVERTURE INTRO: I REMEMBER I walked through a field, the colors around brought thoughts of beauty. Times had changed, I remembered, voices, so many voices the spirit was raw and torn, stretched thin from the constant pull of a thousand hands. As the summer sky turned to autumn and the colors of my heart were changed I felt. Heavy. I remember. Not the light memories of my youth, but the weight, wait. The crushing weight that was upon my shoulders, that strengthened my resolve. Cold. My back is broken, the wrists are red and my feet have grown callous, the snake winds around my ankles. No longer am I what I am, I am what I've become. Stronger, my wrists are healed through You, my ankles bear their scars. My hands are strong but soft as if with wisdom. I feel the grass, I remember. PART 1: THE PAST Gazing into the past, gone so fast You've lost your independence away So long ago the mold was cast Without anything to say No honest thought left today Goodbye soul PART 2: MIND DESIGNS Where I stand isn't known to me But where I walk I am free The places I've been Are lost to sea But still remain in my memory I Design Castles deep in my mind I Resign To break apart and redefine Where have they gone, my gentle friend What are these scars on hands that once steel could bend How was it lost, all things must end Have you forsaken me, your spirit is mine to mend I Design Castles deep in my mind I Resign To break apart and redefine PART 3: THE STRUGGLE PART 4: RETROSPECTION You'll calculate to reevaluate Look out and disassociate You'll seek yourself through others eyes Just to keep your own disguise PART 5: LOSING FAITH Now that you've made up your mind You can find someone else to share They'll share with you their truth And now you've lost your way How many times can fate provide? An astral door through which to hide The longest night is closing in The single thing you ever had The single thing you ever had Is gone. PART 6: FRACTURED ADOLESCENCE You'll calculate to reevaluate Look out and disassociate You'll seek yourself through others eyes Just to keep your own disguise Great divide, couldn't hide Look outside, the place where you reside Now resign, and recline inside Sheltered mind You always seek assimilation To help avoid humiliation Your images are made of clay To shape but never long to stay Great divide, couldn't hide Look outside, the place where you reside Now resign, and recline inside Sheltered mind CONCLUSION: THE COVENANT I will walk with you For through you all things can I achieve I will not rest or want I will be for you and thus for myself I will not be for anyone else I will strive for this
