Here I am Light Years from home
Among these stars is now where I roam
I never thought you would be
So many Light Years from me”
Funny how I had always strayed, too far behind you
Now I’m lost here in Outerspace, I thought I’d find you
Drifted off onto far off clouds when the sun came to shine on me
Now I’m lost in this universe, please come bring me back to Earth
Looking at how we drifted away, I took for granted
Now I’m lost here in Outerspace, those seeds we planted
You don’t always appreciate what you’ve got until it’s gone
Now I’ll search celestial seas, what is gonna bring you back to me?
You thought you had what you were looking for… all along
You never know what you’ve got until its gone
You were searching in all the wrong places It’s in the stars tonight,
you just have to look up and see it shining bright
Now I sit here alone in space, trying to rewind
What I wouldn’t give to go Light Years back in time
And say exactly what I want to say without fear of losing you
Now I’m lost in this lunacy, pretending like you’re here with me...

Well I landed here the other day and I feel I've already lost my way around...
In this lonely town.
And I need someone to take my hand and lead me through this foreign land oh how?
Don't let me down...
Sinking into the sand... someone to take my hand... don't walk away... lead me astray...
I'm a Stranger In A Foreign Land
Well you left me here all alone, when I needed to feel your love the most and I... don't want to cry.
As my faith continues to grow in you i'm not quite sure what I might do cause I... don't want to die.
Sinking into the sand... someone to take my hand... don't walk away... lead me astray...
I'm a Stranger In A Foreign Land

Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na
You've got me spinning turning round and around.
Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down again.
It's such a carry on with things never said.
We've never been strangers, will we ever be friends.
I don't know what's going on.
I'll work it out before too long.
I get this feeling going round and around.
Head over heels and tumbling down.
I hear you talking, but there's nobody there.
Where do I turn if it's all in my mind.
I don't know what's going on.
I'll work it out before too long.
I don't know just how to feel.
Tell now is anything real.
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
I don't know what's going on.
I'll work it out before too long.
I don't know just how to feel.
Tell now is anything real.

Growing Down In Brooklyn

Here i'm hanging on a ledge ... am i standing in your footsteps?
Someone's gonna wake up dead and even still you can't resist it.
i'm goin' down, i'm broken down and i growing down to Brooklyn
Take me back, i'm goin' back, am I growing back in Brooklyn
Soon you learn to need the life, though you might not see tomorrow
Why do we always live to die, why do we always need the sorrow?
i'm goin' down, i'm broken down and i growing down to Brooklyn
Take me back, i'm going back, won't you take me back to Brooklyn?
I never wanted it to be this way, everything was in control
Suddenly something went awry, God please won't you save my soul?
it's out of control...
So now I lay me down to rest and I think it's best I leave you
Know you'll be safe here in my mind... all this time I still believed in you.
It's just the road that I have chose, it's just a part of the system
Live by the sword, die by the sword won't you take me back to Brooklyn
Am I growing down in Brooklyn?

sometime ago, i don't know where, i saw the most beautiful angel
magical eyes and i was hypnotized, i knew right then that she would be mine
cause someone took my heart away. some took it far away. someone took my heart away and it was you...
someone took my breath away, i didn't know just what to say, because someone took my breath away
and it was you.
sometime ago, i don't know where, i saw the most beautiful cathedral
the preacher turned and said, and with thee i wed, i now pronounce you lion and angel.
cause someone took my heart away someone took it far away, someone took my heart away
and it was you
and it was you...

i wish i had a time machine, so i wouldn’t have to dream.
i understand your need to be, a million miles away from me. the sky was so brilliant blue and i was lost in the sunshine of you...
and it’s another sunny day, but your a million miles away... away... from me.
i wish i could change your mind
the way it has a thousand times.
remember how it felt that day,
when you looked at me that way?
i wish i had a time machine, so i wouldn’t have to dream
but i understand your need to be,
a million miles away from me.
the sky was so brilliant blue,
and i was lost in the sunshine of you.
...and its another sunny day
but you’re a million miles away.
and someday you will wake up
and this will all have gone away.
it’s time to make your mind up
because that someday is today.
today...
i wish i had a time machine
so i can finally end this dream
but i understand you have to be...
a million miles away
from me...

- i The Wrong
When I looked to the sky
it was from the wrong side of the rainbow
The rains had all gone
but the sun refused to shine
The forest before the trees,
burned to ash and embers
As the calm before the storm
brought turbulence to the great divide
- ii The Acolyte
Don’tcha want to see it?
Don’tcha want to be it?
Don’tcha want to need it?
Don’tcha want to bleed it?
Don’tcha want to heed it?
Don’tcha want to seed it?
Don’tcha want to feed it?
Don’tcha want to eat it?
- iii The Hollows
From miles away…
From mountains to borders
The storms would rise
Across horizons into skies
A seer’s gaze...
Looked down upon the Hollows
Only to fathom
It will never again be the same.
- iv The Road (Less Traveled)
The road less traveled
Had arrived at its destination
There was no place like home
Left for us to reside
And the show that must go on
Completed it’s final performance
The darkness before the dawn
Would never give way to light…

A Winter’s fire burning bright
Funny the things you long for…
Warming your soul in the night
Funny the things you long for…
Now I feel so cold aching in my bones
I just want a place to call home
And I will roam this netherworld
Until I know that you are never alone
One more chance to say goodbye
Funny the things that you long for…
One more chance to hold you tight
Funny the things you long for…
Wandering in and out of your mind
When I had to desert you
I know you feel so betrayed
I never wanted to hurt you
Even when you feel all alone, I won’t be far from home
Just close your eyes And I will be all around you…
Was I really there or just the fleeting vision from the corner of your eye?
Just a vision from your mind overwhelmed by that chill inside
A glimpse into a world completely lost in its own despair
I can’t move on from here until I know that I’m in there
Forevermore…
So when things fall from the wall
that’s just my way of making a curtain call
Ever creek in the floor, ever squeak in the door
...every noise in the hall
So when you get up at night and see a strange sort of light
It’s the way that you know
I will watch over you from The Longing…

Here I am Light Years from home
Among these stars is now where I roam
I never thought you would be
So many Light Years from me”
Funny how I had always strayed, too far behind you
Now I’m lost here in Outerspace, I thought I’d find you
Drifted off onto far off clouds when the sun came to shine on me
Now I’m lost in this universe, please come bring me back to Earth
Looking at how we drifted away, I took for granted
Now I’m lost here in Outerspace, those seeds we planted
You don’t always appreciate what you’ve got until it’s gone
Now I’ll search celestial seas, what is gonna bring you back to me?
You thought you had what you were looking for… all along
You never know what you’ve got until its gone
You were searching in all the wrong places It’s in the stars tonight,
you just have to look up and see it shining bright
Now I sit here alone in space, trying to rewind
What I wouldn’t give to go Light Years back in time
And say exactly what I want to say without fear of losing you
Now I’m lost in this lunacy, pretending like you’re here with me...

Something disturbed the light
Is there really someone out there?
Lurking out of sight...
Fractions of a broken night sky
I’m just one… another lost soul…
(Just a Silhouette) Now I can’t find my way home
(Another Silhouette) Among the stars is now where I roam
(A fading Silhouette) Here I am, light years from home…
Just a Silhouette
A Fading Silhouette
From a long time ago.

Where were you when the hurricanes came? Where were you for the Eastern rains?
Where were you?
Where were you when the winds came forth? Where were you when the gales blew north?
Where were you?
(In My Head Section):
I’ve wanted to walk back out into the warmth of the morning sun. It’s in my head…
Won’t you take me back to where the rivers used to run? It’s in my head… my head…………
Where were you when the winter came south? Where were you for the 7 year drought?
Where were you?
Where were you when the rivers ran dry? Where were you when the crops all died?
Where were you?
Bridge:
No I can’t get back... Yet I want to get back... But the cards are all stacked... You know I need to get back..
It’s the only thing stopping my memory... Fade and fall!
And I can’t get back... But I want to get back... No, the cards are all stacked... And I need to get back...
They’re the only things stopping my memory... Fade and fall! (Are you out of your tiny mind?)
Where were you when the quakes broke ground? Where were you when the mountains came down?
Where were You?
Where were you when the horseman rode west? Where were you when the 4 came to rest?
Where were you?
("In My Head" Section):
I’ve wanted to walk back out into the warmth of the morning sun. It’s in my head…
Take me back to where the rivers used to run. It’s in my head… my head… my head…..
Won’t you let me be there when it all was still so young? It’s in my head.....

Something’s under the bed - Waiting for you to fall in slumber
They say it’s all in your head - A nightmare or some frightening thunder
Things better left unsaid - They’ll only think that you’ve gone bonkers
And soon they’ll start to spread - And soon you’ll know that you’ve been conquered
They’ll follow you everywhere - They’re a part of all of our shadows
Complete Unaware - Revealing themselves on All Hallows
Un-Agressively well prepared - They’re just very Opportunistic
You’ll soon let down your hair - What’s next is nothing short of sadistic...
