Is It Love (This Painful Surrender) 03:38
lyrics
buy track
My vision’s dimming My mouth is dry My ears are ringing I don’t know why I’m talking nonsense I can’t walk straight Can’t make a sentence I can’t relate Invisible magnets are pulling me closer Everything ‘round me is tumbling Is it love This painful surrender Is it love Oh, I don’t know She stands before me I lose control Her eyes unclothe me And touch my soul Invisible magnets are pulling me closer Everything ‘round me is tumbling Is it love This painful surrender Is it love Oh, I don’t know

The Spirit 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Throw away your magazines Throw away your books Forget the things you see on screens Don’t worry how you look There is no time for sitting still This is no time for games There is no time for fads and frills And clothes with fancy names Set the spirit free within you Let it be your only guide Feel the spirit move within you Changing what you see outside Take your clothes off, touch your skin Laugh and scream and cry Submit yourself to savage sin Your instinct doe not lie There is a rhythm in the ground It has a primal beat It makes your blood pulse, spins you ‘round And fills your world with heat Set the spirit free within you Let it be your only guide Feel the spirit move within you Changing what you see outside Don’t count the minutes, days, and years Try living outside time Open up and face your fears Explore a world sublime Don’t order thoughts and edit speech Remove that ugly mask It’s not so hard; it’s in your reach A very simple task Set the spirit free within you Let it be your only guide Feel the spirit move within you Changing what you see outside

It's Not Easy 03:19
lyrics
buy track
I live in a house that mirrors my heart The walls are barren And the rooms are dark and cold So cold I no longer know when I’m asleep or awake An absolute silence Blankets my nights and days My days It’s not easy all alone It’s not easy when your friends have gone It’s not easy on your own It’s not easy When you find yourself alone I’m lost in thoughts as it begins to rain My eyes are burning The windows reflect my pain My pain It’s not easy all alone It’s not easy when your friends have gone It’s not easy on your own It’s not easy When you find yourself alone Well I’m feeling so lonely I feel like I can’t go on

Carpe Diem 03:24
lyrics
buy track
In every moment that passes you by You can live a hundred lives Things aren’t the way that they once were Don’t waste your time with what has occurred You must seize Seize the moment Seize, seize it now Hold on tight don’t let go What happens here is all you need know Don’t judge right now with what has passed No need for plans on making it last We must seize, seize the moment Seize, seize it now Carpe Diem You say that you have heard it all before My body tells me not to wait anymore I don’t know, but maybe love isn’t right If there has to be a struggle each night

Actress 03:19
lyrics
buy track
I enter dreamlike darkness And face the giant screen I leave my troubled thoughts behind And live the world of scenes Well, the actress may be acting But the tears that fall are real Her lover says good-bye to her His face is cold as steel In colors more vivid than life The visions of romance and violence Touch me so honestly In the movies Emotions are real In the movies You know how you feel In the movies The lover finds a woman In some exotic land The actress turns to God and prays That he might lend a hand A woman sits behind me I hear her softly cry She sees her story in the film The actress finally dies

World Of Machines 04:22
lyrics
buy track
They do their work Both day and night They’re not concerned With wrong or right They don’t feel pain They feel no hate A vacant smile Reveals their state This is a world of machines (They rarely move, they like to sit, they think that life is to submit, their eyes are glazed, they have no heart, no center here, just moving parts, they don’t react, they’re living dead, the microchip replaced their heads.) They pay their bills They don’t complain If someone fights He’s called insane They stuff themselves With plastic food It helps sustain Their lifeless mood

Modern Life 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Neon and chrome Decorate my home Life-size TV (Digital technology) I don’t know what I’ve been thinking Can’t relate to feelings in this Modern Life Eat, walk, and talk It’s simple with a clock Errors are few When functioning with cues Drink some, then tube Or maybe Rubik’s cube I don’t know what I’ve been thinking Can’t relate to feelings in this Modern Life

It Was Love 03:53
lyrics
buy track
She came to me one cold, dark night The shadows of the candlelight were dancing I won’t forget her sweet caress The way she filled my emptiness till morning It was love For one night It was love I lost myself within her eyes Like azure skies they mesmerized and held me Our bodies took a timeless breath Their separation was like death, so lonely And now I wander aimlessly Through rooms that once so silently embraced us I find the quiet deafens me And everywhere I look I see the darkness It was love For one night It was love

The Message 03:36
lyrics
buy track
I get so used to comfort It shelters me from pain I paint my life by numbers It’s ordered, neat, and plain But the message is around me now Telling me it’s time to make a change Yes, the message is around me now Telling me it’s time to make a change Trees are changing colors The birds are flying south Everything’s in motion I’m still here with my doubts But the message is around me now Telling me it’s time to make a change Yes, the message is around me now Telling me it’s time to make a change We may not be here tomorrow Why not see all we can see We may not be here tomorrow Let’s allow ourselves to be free I think I’ll take some chances There’s nothing I can lose I know I’ll feel alive again No matter what I choose
