Colorful Reflecting Pool

Sitting up leaning on the wall half dreaming
'bout the ocean still gleaming in my mind
Look outside to find things are falling from the sky
Things of all different kinds it don't happen all the time
Oh (can't take my dreams)
Oh (because they're my dreams)
How could I forget all the people I have met
All the angels that I get in my life
1-2-3-4-3 take a step back to me
See the fluffy white cream and bright lights
Bring back my memories to me
In a dream my heart starts beating and
You get to choose what you feel
No better feeling I can think
Where does that highway go
Wanna know no time to take notes yet
Watch as the currents flow
In six million directions
Stabilize my flight
Gotta keep the bigger goal in mind
In this world of mine
Here in this world of mine
What we call real is made of nothing sometimes
In my dreams I find what I want to find
What I got you can't take it away from me
Thoughts and desires like a wave in a colored sea
Whoah whoah
Looking at my hand to figure out where I am
I got a portal full of love and insight
It's another part of life tell my sublime hi hi
The trails and excursions of the night
Oh (can't take my dreams)
Oh (because they're my dreams)
Bring back my memories to me
In a dream my heart starts beating and
You get to choose what you feel
No better feeling I can think
Where does that highway go
Wanna know no time to take notes yet
Watch as the currents flow
In six million directions
Stabilize my flight
Gotta keep the bigger goal in mind
In this world of mine
[Here in this world of mine]x4

Papers in the Wind

It really was great and all but it's time for me to go
(She said to me)
Just need a little break is all, and so I'll hit the road
(So I said to her)
Is it fun for you to call yourself an adult?
Is it fun for you to fight this uphill battle?
Like papers in the wind,
Around we will blow, drifting all around the globe
Stay here with me for a day, it feels that short to me anyway
And you will no longer be a part of the life I choose to live
All I really want to know
Is what will let me see your soul
And what will get me lock and key
When you seem to want no help from me
But if we do a little bit of shifting
Then we’ll share all the heavy lifting
This world won’t weigh much after all
But with me in here and you out there
The silence will be all we share
Hearing it from two sides of a wall, two sides of a wall
(Oh) (Two sides of a wall)
It's okay I will wait and the elastic band will break
And I will move on without you if that is what we have to do
I couldn’t really make you stay; I couldn’t ever really even make you late
For any of the places you want to be, any of the things that are more important than me
More important than me, more important than me
Can't you see, it's not important?
Hey baby, I just want your lock and key
I’m so transparent you can always see right through to me
You’re like a house with comfy couches but no official deed
Maybe it got lost changing hands or now it’s blowing in the breeze
Came to this place fully recharged from all of my hard work
Didn’t really matter to me how I get there when I saw you smirk
Moved over to the flower on the wall come down from dancin' on tables
I can’t tell you if I'll be sane or very unstable
All I know is you and me
Sharing a moment between the beats
And I wouldn’t trade it for the world
But that was long ago my girl
Is it fun for you to call yourself an adult?
Is it fun for you to fight this uphill battle?
Like paper in the wind I guess we’ll let it go
You never did love me so
I guess I’ll just quit, I guess I'll just quit

Remember Me

This may not be the last song that I’ll write abut you
But it’s certainly the last song that I’ll sing for you
So listen closely to me dear
Or else these chords will disappear (without your ear)
So who caused this anyway?
Memories selectively make it hard to say
Maybe maybe maybe maybe
Maybe we could’ve kept something great but
Baby Baby Baby Baby
Baby it’s just a little too late
So when you’re up above the finger lakes and your thoughts begin to stray
And I’m down in New York City livin’ six hours away
I hope you’ll think of me and maybe even pray
That this was love for real and it’ll back again one day
Can it babe?
I think it’s time that I forgive you
After sadness and anger I am left with truth
So I forgive you my dear
They speak highly of your kind in every love song that I hear
I’ll ask you to hold good memory
Remember me, forever please, won’t you babe?
Maybe maybe maybe maybe
Maybe you don’t believe in fate
But I hope you hope you hope you
Hope you could for maybe just one day
So when you’re up in Geneseo with the cows and tractors babe
And I’m up on top the big apple and I’m feeling far away
I hope when I think up to you, you'll think back with no delay
and we'll both be thinking of each other back again one day
I’ll ask you to hold good memory
Remember me, forever please, Won’t you babe?

Blue

A mass of broken glass as it sets the scene
A Thousand happy faces now gleamed mean
I don't know where they're going to, but it looks like I'm going too
On the inside of my life, a box full of the times I cry
Yet not a tear rolls down my cheek
I think, crying is for the strong
I use these tongs to pull out the better part of me
At night I sing into the Blue
That's right I no longer sing for you
At night I sing into the Blue
What a sight when I bump into you
On the inside of my life, a box full of the times I'm deaf
To everything that you have said
I think listening is for the strong
I use these tongs to pull out the better part of me
At night I sing into the Blue
That's right I no longer sing for you
At night I sing into the Blue
That's right, even after all we've been through
Yes I'm angry, yes I'm angry
Why'd you leave me, why'd you leave me
Why oh?
One day I thought I had it all figured out
But I'm sitting here now and I'm filled with doubt
That day that you walked right on out the door
I'm lying here now and I'm on the floor
Oh, Awoo!

Skyward Bound

Hold onto that rope while it grows thick like a vine
Show all of the stars why they want to shine
Float through all of the orbs, crystals and boulders of your mind
Glow with all of the pride of your brothers and sisters combined
Rolling down the stairs at midnight
Watching where you go and you pull out a knife
Guess it's not in your blood type
Riding through the glades on a nebulous kite
Ever heard of being too nice?
No such thing show compassion in the style of your life
Everybody's dealing with their own fight
Pumping through my veins growing wings if I play my cards right
If I play my cards right, if I play my cards right
(Sometimes as I'm falling asleep I'll think of places I've been, experiences I've had, people I've met, loved ones or not, but sometimes it gets a little Crowded, and you can't do any of it over again, so I do my best to let it all Go, one foot in front of the other)
Hold onto that rope while it grows thick like a vine
Show all of the stars why they want to shine
Float through all of the orbs, crystals and boulders of your mind
Glow with all of the pride of your brothers and sisters combined

Go to Bed

’ll go and roam the light
No chances I will make it back
Yeah it’s the home I tried
To build up but I broke my back.
So I’ll make it up the hillside
And get another goodnight’s sleep
Like the drawings on her bedside
I exist only in memories.
So let this be last song before sleep
Because I know I always think too deep
I’m making this the last song before sleep
So my sanity is mine to keep.
People might say that she is just a pretty girl
There are plenty pretty girls in this beautiful world
But she’s a pretty girl that I know ain’t she
So it hits me like a rhino baby.
I’m watching my reflection but I’m feeling unsettled
Cause’ the water I want cold is a boiling kettle
How can you ever tell that I’m not breaking?
I’m drawn to more than just the love we’re making.
I’ll make it up the hillside
And get another goodnight’s sleep
Like the drawings on her bedside
I was painted by me.
I’m all maxed out with what could’ve been
And I’m not really thinkin’ bout what should’ve been
Cause you know I really don’t want to start again
So we’re all best friends why don’t we pretend.
One day
I will be the champion of this game
The one that we play
But lately
I’ve realized you never win you just play
Into your old age.
I pushed it all back to the back of my mind
Tried to burn it all down leave nothing behind
Let it all out that’s the lesson I find
So maybe I will do it right next time
All I want is to keep my calm.
Oh no
So broken
Oh no
Guns smoking.
You
Me
Broken into three
The last piece
Is what you took from me.
(So let it all out there
And hold nothing back
Cast away the moulds now
They're waiting to crack
With shattered hearts and compasses
We travel on our own
So get yourself some rest child
And take it all on.)
(You you you and I
We will never fly
Never you and I
Harmony alive
Never in the sky
Seeing eye to eye
Passing by the time, time, time
But it must somehow die.)
Everything must somehow die.
