Momentum 02:38
Gather round, gather round Gents and ladies far, The unruly, truly quite bizzare We're the heat, we're the guns Shootin' for the stars Fire Rogues, yeah you're free Yeah, it's who you are We've been marked, we've been marked As a grinding threat To the rustic gears of establishment We are where the bandits And romantics met At the dance of a Pained and a proud movement You were born, you were born Of the sunlight's dust With your hands on the wheel And a steady trust Shining soul, in the shade Don't you give to rust You're a lighthouse of love In the mist of lust I know it hurts, hurts, hurts I know the pain, pain, pain You're so alone - lone - lone So far away - way - way And they rush, rush, rush, We are momentum, momentum And they chase, chase, chase We are momentum, momentum And they rush, rush, rush, We are momentum, momentum And they chase, chase, chase We are momentum, momentum

I Am 04:23
Kicked to the frost At any cost "You're but a flaw, but a flaw", Boiled with blood pent My plea fought For life, for naught "You are terrible, terrible" So much ~ energy spent You cu-cu-cut in You cu-cu-cut in You cu-cu-cut in Just to cut me down to you... But you - won't turn me Or break me in You reach for bones But I am but wind Lang ~ uage corrodes Acid unloads From the venom here, venom here On your searing spree But baring fear When the ~ dust had cleared What did it do for you, do for you When it helped me to breathe You cu-cu-cut in You cu-cu-cut in You cu-cu-cut in Just to cut me down to you... But you - won't turn me Or break me in You reach for bones But I am but wind I am my will From push to shove You might be loud But I am my love There's no need for frights, it's a show of lights Fire rogues, yeah you're free, yeah you're quite the sight In a love story, where beauty is might Hard times have you now, but you'll be alright

Cumulonimbus 04:07
It's risky, dark and bleak, Miles long, her feet Move in uncertain time Accusations sound at sight Does she think they're right She's wanted for love crimes Are you a tender one - tender one, rebel A fighter with a nature of gold There's no need to be - need to be, subtle When your heart has been so bold You're a bottle of lightning And it's so very frightening To the titans of dimness Let your energy swim through Deep from the storm within you, Little cumulonimbus The howling crowd's alive Sing while you arrive Here's your test Little one Your rug's been swept beneath Let me be your sheath I'll hold your heart While we run You are a renegade - renegade, baby That proofreaders can't handle so well I'd prefer the Earth to be - Earth to be, shaking Then stay trapped inside that hell You're a bottle of lightning And it's so very frightening To the titans of dimness Let your energy swim through Deep from the storm within you, Little cumulonimbus You're goin' - goin' goin' - goin' gone Keep movin' - movin' - movin' movin' on This isn't - isn't - isn't what they want But are you gonna - gonna - gonna let them haunt You're a bottle of lightning And it's so very frightening To the titans of dimness Let your energy swim through Deep from the storm within you, Little cumulonimbus

In time the smoke will leave here But I'm not just gonna breathe here I'd rather sweep a breeze under those old ashes I know the way, let's head there Let your heartache down with your hair Movin' through the lights and heights of the compass caches La la, look out Down below, oh Heaven knows where We will go, oh I get homesick, so very quick For vistas new We are the pirates And loving traitors On the road of Cirrus skaters Ever alive, takin' a dive For vistas new Every day inside the debris Really makes you want to sightsee I'd like to have your hand, this could get quite bumpy Oh, a different air waits for us May the guiding wind adorn us I tend to throttle out, hope you're not too jumpy I'm gonna break the glass Of every old impasse Yeah, the night's sublime What's a better time To go than now (CHORUS) And I'll hold onto you as long as you hold onto me I've got a lot in my view but no one else that I can see Tonight we are aloft, we are the stars hangin' up free Yeah, I'll hold onto you as long as you hold onto me (CHORUS) Oh I will always chase The way my heart will race And if you're feelin' doubt Let's ride it out Just come along
5.
Shadows, Shaped by gryphon stars Flying out so far Flying out so far Spirits, Scared of what could be Come and stay with me Come and stay with me Trials and Tribulations of All the routes above All the routes above Sap my strength The very way they give The only way to live The only way to live Lend me the sight giants behold To break apart old cautions retold You can plunge in anxiety so grim Or wield your wings for your own rhythm Some seem To have a peace of mind I could never find I could never find Freed ropes Come at a heavy cost When the ground is lost When the ground is lost Eyes wide On the mammoth show Like the heaven's snow Like the heaven's snow An optimist Living for her best She won't end with less She won't end with less Lend me the sight giants behold To break apart old cautions retold You can plunge in anxiety so grim Or wield your wings for your own rhythm I feel each step so slow, oh I've got vertigo go go go I feel each step so slow, oh I've got vertigo go go go Follow the trails in the air Follow the trails in the air Follow the trails in the air Follow the trails in the air So won't you lend me the sight giants behold To break apart old cautions retold You can plunge in anxiety so grim Or wield your wings for your own rhythm Shadows, Shaped by gryphon stars Flying out so far Flying out so far Follow me From atop the trees Reaching out so free Reaching out so free
6.
Through the old town square of Dogma's yearly tradition On a whim I took a Dive far in expedition I followed a glimmer on a winding trail Deep through beauty, treachery, and howling hail When she helped me back up to my bruised feet Her grin put me at ease You said, "I'm not from around all these trees up here But you sing with the sounds of the seas sincere And I can tell by your eyes, big and blue The great azure, lets your Soul sail right on through" With not a thing chaining me Down but the deadend and the bland In a flash, I'll drag up The anchor, my sights on a new land My first love, she is the breathin' briny sea Most cannot comprehend its heart beating in me But if you chase the same chill in your weathered bones Maybe I'm not alone You said now "I'm not from around all these trees up here But you sing with the sounds of the seas sincere And I can tell by your eyes, big and blue The great azure, lets your Soul sail right on through" There's magic in disguise Hiding in those eyes I try and I try Falling anyway Oh you're a window Straight to the deep, yo ho Oh you're a window Straight to the deep, yo ho Oh you're a window Straight to the deep, yo ho Oh you're a window Straight to the deep, yo ho (CHORUS)
7.
Oh I'm sure you've heard all the stories Triumph, scandal, all her name lends The world chases down her glories The legends and the red dead ends She has the yell of a young punk Wisdom and a smile with a saber All the salty wit of an old drunk If she'd outpace you, it's a favor She's an outlaw Born braver Your deep spell Your savior The highroller, Princess Red Rum... But in your eyes She's freedom Bound down to 'er life on the free way She's bad, she's fast, she's got you pinned Yeah your leap won't lend you much leeway When you're tryin' to escape a whirlwind From her pistol Right to your bliss You better not blink As if you could miss She's an outlaw Born braver Your deep spell Your savior The highroller, Princess Red Rum... But in your eyes She's freedom You can survive on caution and foresight But numbness is livin' on a loss And her gust is givin' you your flight 'Cause there's comfort within her chaos There's a snowball Deep in hell That says this Will end well So make her Part of your story At least she's dangerous... Better than boring She's an outlaw Born braver Your deep spell Your savior The highroller, Princess Red Rum... But in your eyes She's freedom Princess Red Rum Yeah she's freedom
8.
Poets long for words like your dreams And your silhouette sings profanity Oh, I believe that's just what this world needs So won't you run, run, run, run, run, run with me
9.
Drifting on a cloud blanket, Stands Avra, the guardian of fire Giving away all her light Gathered from much, much higher Misunderstood by King Night And adoring the sunbeams falling She was banished from her sleep For pursuing her calling All my life I've heard "It matters not what's outside" But if you're odd within Where all your blazes reside No matter what you feel If you're true, if you're scared I believe We are good When we make Good out there Cursed, she was so miserable "Your way is wrong", Night told her Just to fight back, she brought light Down to give Earth's dark a spur Delivering soothing visions She'd felt alone and distressed But watching her glow bloom below Granted Avra's heart some rest (CHORUS) Harness it, make your mark Ring your light, through the dark Years have passed Beyond sleep Frightening first Such a sweep But she thawed Ice to life With her gift Oh so rife Collectin' the flares that fall Down from the tumbling sunbeams When it gets dim she hides thems Deep inside us - they're called "dreams" (CHORUS x2)

Flower 04:43
If I could have your attention You'd hardly desire The grip that can come With a handful of fire I know not of how far Your torment has gone on But I'm cravin' a bite and Your tooth has grown long And if I'm hearing you right You think you're justice, you think you're the light With the wrath of the red, I'll be rage on all fours If you're giving her wounds You'll wish that they were yours Problems up the rear, They've all got their own fun... If you're bringin' her down, You're problem number one Does it make you feel bigger To trip those who brave Who wear their colors While you hide in the shade I am not one with A passion for law, but You've fucked with my flower, Your terminal flaw And if I'm listening here You think you're a king, a force to be feared With the wrath of the red, I'll be rage on all fours If you're giving her wounds You'll wish that they were yours Problems up the rear, They've all got their own fun... If you're bringin' her down, You're problem number one I will dare to I will swear to I will save you every night I will not stall And if you fall I will save you every night Give me all your pieces I will keep them away Burdened with gorgeous nature No scale could ever weigh You're my feathers You're my feathers, Stay aloft for me, stay aloft for me I'll be leather, I'll be leather Holding you to me, holding you to me
11.
Ballrooms and bridges Appear quite alike this late But royalty wardrobes Long for the way you radiate Oh crescent chandelier, Is my path far from here? Give me nothing to fear Whistle me a windy tune A lullaby along the moon For all we can't ensure At least we're adventure Through the time each night recalls Rushing like Niagara Falls Oh will our hearts endure At least we're adventure So many lungs are Determined to be deflaters We are the "doomed ones" Still standing here years later And when you're frozen low I will stir you from the snow Please come down from your window Whistle me a windy tune A lullaby along the moon For all we can't ensure At least we're adventure Through the time each night recalls Rushing like Niagara Falls Oh will our hearts endure At least we're adventure I'm fading fast Da da da da, da da da da Rest well, we'll last Da da da da, da da da da I'll vow, I'll stay Da da da da, da da da da 'Cause I can't 'Cause I can't Slumber anywhere else anyway
12.
Rain Fable 03:01
I woke up inside A dry and sterile box Its embrace was first a blessing I knew not of its locks "The walls are your protection" I heard the echos boom, "They'll keep you from the scary things, So frightful out this tomb" I held those words as law For they were all I knew But I could hear the sounds Drop around from a bigger truth I pined to peek outside To peer for but a breath Nervously, I pulled a curtain back And I saw life, not death The clouds made their own way All the beings were boundless They had no roof above But look at what they still possess The walls chased me and screamed "All is unchained in the air, Without your roof you'll die" I told them, "I'd be free out there" (They screamed in fury...) "Your spirit is trash, You're just insane" But I can hear each word Fall with the rain (the rain) (They screamed in fury...) "Your spirit is trash, You're just insane" But I can hear each word Fall with the rain (the rain)
13.
Give me a taste of oxygen I'm buried, wounded to the core I cry out to silence until then The suction drags me down for more And it seems it will go 'Till I stop the show But that my dear's my benchmark 'Cause the show can go on If I make it to dawn As a lonely flare in the dark Relentless, your scars open up wide They know how to punch into your shell They lunge for your blood like a vampire You know those fangs ever so well Your soul is a bird Too heavy for words And yet it yearns for miles You just have to get through The night in front of you Try to stay a little while It's toughest to beat caverns Devoid of the morning daybreaks You're clawin' and God, it hurts As your stomach does backflips and quakes The strain is unbearable when Every chip is a chilling climb, but It's a little less terrible Little more fareable Little more dareable One cliff at a time And I love you, love you, love you, But I'm so alone (How long can I be here like this?) You're a captain with crew And too much to lose Among every storm and spark Burn as bright as you can You're taking a stand For the flares fighting in the dark Tell me, why did you start? Did a glow catch your heart? There's another each mile I never saw it coming When I heard her humming Try to stay a little while
14.
With You 04:48
Calendars stay In the hardest ways And you can feel it When time just won't wait Does anything last Growing up so fast You're looking up now For a sign, for their trace You got older Over that shoulder Raising stakes high, a Real ace holder When passing lights pull Life invisible... Did they let go 'Cause they've still got a hand Though their cards have fleeted, it's clear That they've still got a hand out here Though their cards have fleeted, it's clear That they've still got a hand out here Out here... When you're alone through the dark part of life You lost an old friend and it cuts like a knife Their story's still going in all that you do You lived on with them, now they live on with you Oh, they live on - live on When you live on - live on too Oh, they live on - live on When you bring them - bring them through Oh, they live on - live on When you live on - live on too When you bring them - bring them through When you bring them - bring them through They'd want it all - it all for you When you're in bed recalling as you lay You may find some advice their old laugh will convey So laugh like hell along, and dream something new And keep your souvenirs for them and for you Oh, they live on - live on When you live on - live on too Oh, they live on - live on When you bring them - bring them through Oh, they live on - live on When you live on - live on too When you bring them - bring them through They'd want it all - it all for you When you're alone through the dark part of life You lost an old friend and it cuts like a knife Their story's still going in all that you do You lived on with them, now they live on with you
15.
It's a slideshow With my eyes closed My gut is wrenched in knots And they rope me... Through the routine Of the demons in my thoughts There's a fissure In each picture And I'm drenched in molten pain It's still storming In the morning And it doesn't go away Is she a monster With what haunts her Unlike those with broken arms On the outside She is alright But within, blare the alarms By their standards We might be broken, love We're unconventional But you fit like a glove Through all the heartaches and All that we still have now All that we can do here Is to survive somehow Running circles Through the hurdles Just to keep my eyelids sealed When mere assurance Is endurance That carries me behind its shield I kick and fight To get through the night When I'm awake submerged neck deep So I stir cloud shapes Around me like capes When I simply cannot sleep You're not your demons You are a beacon Alive with a purpose You are what moves you Not who approves you You are what you surface By their standards We might be broken, love We're unconventional But you fit like a glove Through all the heartaches and All that we still have now All that we can do here Is to survive somehow Survive, survive, survive somehow Survive, survive, survive somehow Survive, survive, survive somehow All that we can do here Is to survive somehow

Blue Eyes 06:14
All the ships eclipsing the ocean Rustled and roared Of the heart I adored All its captains, seas and passions Told of our tales, and our wind in the sails I strung my Christmas lights up extra early A chain of shimm'ring little sterling moons I'd desired shine for ages But still dim, the story's pages were... I had let you disappear too soon Riding through a picture perfect sunset Tracing all the trees to guide my roam I paused to look out far But all the colors that there are... Were painting me a map to get back home The nightfall's awe Had never made me feel so raw All the ships eclipsing the ocean Rustled and roared Of the heart I adored All its captains, seas and passions Told of our tales, and our wind in the sails I was huddled round a drifters' camp site Trading stories of rulers we'd beat The bond was oh so warming While the sparks danced up, performing... But still lay a chilly spot in my backseat I was up late tailing a phoenix Migrating under galaxies unheard Its fury never shy Its magic in great supply... This wonder, my second favorite firebird The wandering stars Are still finding your dust from afar All the ships eclipsing the ocean Rustled and roared Of the heart I adored All its captains, seas and passions Told of our tales, and our wind in the sails Every month we wished to see saltwater Waving from a peak way off the beach I took the trip in health With none to worry but myself... Even so there was a sight I could not reach That evening I laid down Beside the water Escaping to a gorgeous ocean view The tide hugged me and swirled With the whole weight of the world... But I'd give it all to just be holding you And up above Purring atop all the waves we had loved All the ships eclipsing the ocean Rustled and roared Of the heart I adored All its captains, seas and passions Told of our tales, and our wind in the sails Oh I had quite a grin watching the vessels come back in But the blue eyes of the sea paled to you
