Let’s have the time our lives We can’t just waste it away They say that time is money so Let’s spend it on something great Come out and join us we'll celebrate the fortune Of our lives as we know them Are you with me now? Can I ask you how You see me? Forget the times you’ve cried You’ll be by my side Next to me When I stray from the pain and the harm The closer I get to your love and your arms When we share a kiss I will know that this Is our life Dreaming of our paradise That seems to be in our grasp Moments and memories come and go Lets make the ones that can last Come out and join us we'll celebrate the fortune Of our lives as we know them Are you with me now? Can I ask you how You see me? Forget the times you’ve cried You’ll be by my side Next to me When I stray from the pain and the harm The closer I get to your love and your arms When we share a kiss I will know that this Is our life Are you with me now? (Finding paradise) Can I ask you how (You see all I have to give) You see me? (We will stay on our rails, we will tell all these tales) Forget the times you’ve cried (It is far behind) You’ll be by my side (I hope to see you there) Next to me (My next trick brings us closer to the life we always hoped for) When I stray from the pain and the harm The closer I get to your love and your arms When we share a kiss (I hope I never miss) I will know that this (You are the one I hoped for) Is our life (When the curtain brings us home, we will never be alone) Seething with pride on the outside Setting and getting what we had our eyes On Unstoppable, improbable that We will not make the best of what we hold, since This is our life

Up There 06:06
Listen Listen to the everglade, up there, waiting Blowing winds are flowing through, combing, grazing Up there Breathing Watching with a thoughtful eye, how mysterious Trying not to come off shy, please don’t fear this Come here Tranquil, where our eyes meet Engrossed in the grove of my sinful defeat Secure, safe from the space down below Waiting for this kind of right Unraveling peace with the moon and its light Our home, revealed by the shine of its glow Circumstance dancing with beauty Just as they should be Hold on Child-like eyes like the moon plea, “We’ll be as we could be” Stay strong On a portrait a god would Envision The music is radiating grace Come up and thrive with me You'll feel alive with me This is what I wanted This is what I need Achieve Conjuring the best of dreams for the dreamless Conception Of the best of things, thoughtless, seamless Up there Will you please stop Your unsettled mind? Notice the past and present combined Calling up there, "Open up the gates" Lock us inside, keep us safe Circumstance dancing with beauty Just as they should be Hold on Child-like eyes like the moon plea, “We’ll be as we could be” Stay strong Purple twilight shining in the Distance On our world that exists in our own space Come up and thrive with me You'll feel alive with me This is what I wanted This is what I need So unclear The mysterious ring of the birds and the things but Its so pleasant I forgot, for a moment I thought that I would stay here forever but I must Take my presence Back to where I belong Please stay Wait for me to come back But as a matter of fact I'm not for certain this journey I'm currently in has a care of the area I End up at Ain't it a shame I may not see this whole world again I may not ever learn your own Name How do I know, back homes, where I belong I think I got it all Wrong, wait The things that I've seen All of the unbelievably serene Makes Going back home feel Obscene, makes A nightmare appear from a dream Listen, you know what I mean I've made a mistake Mistaken the weight of our choices I chose them and now its too late Give me a chance Swear to God this circumstance vanished Before I knew it was gone So damn speechless Thought there was at least this Neatness in the design I thought I knew Trying not to fear this Steering away now I don't wanna hear this, come on It can't be true Stay with me We can make our old home like this If you really want to try this, with me You'll feel free We don't need to try to fly, just We can make it down here, come on, why don't you want to Come down and thrive with me You'll feel alive with me This is all that I wanted This is all that I need Come down Come down

Antarctica 05:30
Out on a glacier, and feeling the scene Losing himself to the divine serenity Sky-tearing rays of light through the clouds God only knows what he’s planning now Cracking under the pressure Crumbling with fatigue Rolling down on the mountain side Have you seen what I’ve seen? Mountain caps pierce the sky Nowhere left to hide Is it just all the snow? Or is his hair turning white? Instigate all of our thoughts Teach us all that you have taught Obsession of you supplies Is all we see Now he is the one Standing up against it Brutal terrain but its not hopeless Fear hot as the sun Tired of it all But he can’t to escape the fall Go to him, know who’s grim destiny festers away He will protect with the warmth of an ice’s decay Searching through all the pieces Looking for what is lost Can he find what he’s looking for or Is it engulfed in frost? Who can the man look up too? All who need help seek him No help for he, the helper His destiny appears grim Instigate all of our thoughts Teach us all that you have taught Obsession of you supplies Is all we see Now he is the one Standing up against it Brutal terrain but its not hopeless Fear hot as the sun Tired of it all But he can’t to escape the fall Go to him, know who’s grim destiny festers away He will protect with the warmth of an ice’s decay I cant Take it anymore, we can’t watch him fall, he’s the beacon of peace We’ve tried Going on our own, break from what is known, we are fearing release Don’t stop Separating now, disbelief will shroud, the tears the old man hides But he is the one Standing up Its not hopeless Fear hot as the sun Tired of it all Cant escape the fall Go to him know who's grim destiny festers away He will protect with the warmth of an icy decay Now he is the one Standing up against it Brutal terrain but its not hopeless Fear hot as the sun Tired of it all But he can’t to escape the fall Go to him, know who’s grim destiny festers away He will protect with the warmth of an ice’s decay

Contort the orbit To change your mind Why ignore it If they must ignite Break down barriers Fire away It doesn't matter now Or that's what you say Shooting down satellites To better us all Watch as they crumble And we grow tall We can not expect to stay the same Change is the way to stay sane On the fringe of existence This is your judgment call Should we burn it to ash, Leave it to fall? Keep your wits about you Don't let them get thebest Fight back against it We never expected less I cannot Follow this Anymore This is All I Can see I cannot Do better Shooting down satellites To better us all Watch as they crumble And we grow tall We can not expect to stay the same Change is the way to stay sane To stay sane I must Change my ways Forget the day Forget my name To stay sane I must Contort all logic Take my memories Forget I thought it I am not the one who wanted This to turn into a destructive Rhythm that will alter my mind Risking it all just to say I'm fine (I am the one who wanted this to be something more) This is not ideal it's shattering All I know, left me exasperating (I am not content with this anymore) I cannot live like this now I'm shaking and breaking to turn this around (Shoot them down, to change your life) (Stopping them to save my life) Shooting down satellites to stop my fall Watch as they crumble and I grow tall Shooting down satellites To better us all Watch as they crumble And we grow tall We can't expect to stay the same Change is the way To stay sane

This is where the wandering leads us Through the winding road Is it our minds that are calloused? Or is it our souls? Explain what makes this pointless 'Cause I have been mystified By the man who makes it worthy To carry on with our stride Don't repeat Don't repeat Don't repeat Or else we can't move on We all have failed To understand our ways Moments linger Throughout the rest of our days Slowly our chances drip from the tips of the cups of our lives Spilling what is divine It goes on and on Forever we won't understand But when time goes on The moments will slip through our hands Time's not done Time's not done As days repeat The hands of the clock create a Vortex of fate And as everyone knows its Consuming, constricting, controlling, conflicting Yet nobody tries to stop time It makes a linear motion of lies. It goes on and on Forever we won't understand But when time goes on The moments will slip through our hands Time's not done Time's not done Your teardrop gleams You are the picture between my dreams Cascading softly Into perception Becoming apart of my infinite collection While time has strayed You were the dawn and the dusk of my day Orbiting calmly Peaceful disguise You are my avoidable demise Nothing we've seen From the gathering clouds suggests That we should frown At the gathering crowds as they Point and they stare Searching for a sign Too see beauty Your teardrop gleams You are the picture between my dreams Cascading softly Into perception Becoming apart of my infinite collection While time has strayed You were the dawn and the dusk of my day Orbiting calmly Peaceful disguise You are my avoidable demise While time has strayed You were the dawn and the dusk of my day Orbiting calmly Peaceful disguise You are my avoidable demise
