When I sit down, the work has begun trying to bring me away from the sun topsy-turvy, roller coaster ride are they working, do you feel alive? Little sparks they can glimmer inside when you feel like you're steep on the climb just as long as you're waiting for me wait a little longer, if you please She sits me down for some truth (and she said) 'you're all aloof and jaded now can't see which way's down you've been trying to turn to that frown into some kind of crown' now as I'm getting older that crown seems colder these sparks will guide a fire straight through the sky won't be too long now

Starlit Eyes 04:15
My shadow binds my starlit eyes, I was wasting away in another light I always find another piece of the mirror where I can fall down into and analyse my broken ties and space one day, again will feel the same and I won't be in hell, under this spell cause Hell is where I find myself if I just can't seem to actualise my starlit eyes, My starlit eyes My starlit eyes Just a molecule, floating on a hill I lived a life before, time closed that door and Opened up into a vast array of light and life and now I'm Spirit bound, soaring through a cloud, and Destiny awaits if I can unlock the spell, I'm at the gates of hell, where my ego fell, cause Hell is where I'll find myself if I just can't seem to bring to life these starlit eyes, These starlit eyes My starlit eyes And now, I'll never go back to those times A hanging kid who sang a broken hymn is like a dream of another life All I am is human, I'm just another human here, drifting down the line Waking up one day at a time, I'll be chasing stardust 'til I die

And all the secrets you keep Be gone, be gone And all the love you hold so deep Be gone These daily wheels were always turning So much beauty still remains unseen Hear the bird flying home to it's nest now The goanna crawl up the tree Forest green, my bare feet Moonlight dream, make me see Make me see And all the roads you've travelled Be gone, be gone It's time to wake and free your Self Your lifetime will fly by Let go of your selfish being There's beauty in the suffering Be brave, don't live in between Forest green, my bare feet Moonlight dream, make me see Forest green, my bare feet Moonlight dream, make me see Make me see (When the dark moon comes to claim you, don't lose yourself in the realm of thought Surrender to the moment, and rise above like you ain't done before When the vampires try to claim you, don't lose yourself in their low life form Surrender to the moment, and rise above like you ain't done before)

Crying 05:03
As your world turns through the night Know the dark will become light I don't like to see you cry You can feel so alive And when you go to sleep at night I hope there's something you keep in mind That every little thing will pass in time Your beauty it always shines Even when your mind will lie I don't like to hear you cry It will be alright And when you go to sleep at night And your gut feeling it don't feel right And the weight of the world it gets to you And your love just won't shine through I hope there's something you'll keep in mind That every little thing will pass in time It's weather passing by It'll drift away in time Then we'll find our way through the moonlit sky On those days you don't feel right A walk in the woods will do you fine I don't like to hear you cry It will be alright
