Rubbish bags strewn on the mountainside
Tent doors closed all the way
Campfire burned itself out through the night
Scorched black upon grey
The prophet's voice tells me the sun will rise soon
As I gaze at the world from on high
In the shade of the mountain, our Mother today
This beautiful morning twilight
Sleepers sleep and dreamers dream
While I sit on my perch
Pastel blue is the sky that I seek
Endlessly searching
The prophet's voice tells me the sun will rise soon
As I gaze at the world from on high
In the shade of the mountain, our Mother today
This beautiful morning twilight
This beautiful morning twilight

Another Life

Most people think about heaven
Some people talk about life
Many consider their children
What they'll leave behind
Whenever I think about heaven
I push such thoughts aside
I don't want to fear for our children
I'd rather stay blind
Another life
You're out of time
You've lost your mind
Another sun
Will be the one
That brings the light
You don't want to know what I'm thinking
Please don't ask me why
Don't ask what I think about people
I'll only lie
Whenever I think about people
I fear for the passage of time
What's your excuse for tomorrow?
What's mine?
Another life
You're out of time
You've lost your mind
Another son
Will be the one
That brings the light
Another child
Will learn to smile
Will learn to cry
Another day
You've wished away
Another life
Most people think about heaven
Some people talk about love
Most people think about heaven
Some people talk about love
Most people think about heaven
Some people talk about love
Most people think about heaven
Some people talk about it
Another life
You're out of time
You've lost your mind

Placate me
Placate me with your psychedelic whispers
Nestle me in your cocoon
And tell me that I'm special
Just tell me that I'm special
Overrate me
Tell me they just don't understand
Flash me your psychedelic smile
Too good for this world
Too good for this world
My ego
Needs your deep tissue massage
Just tell me that it feels good
Yeah, tell me that it feels good

Gone Tomorrow

Pretty girl on the TV station
Says it's going to be a rainy day
Well that's just
One more reason to stick around
One more reason to stay
Just one more day and I'll be gone
Nothing you can say
I'll be gone tomorrow
So don't ask me why
'Cause I'll be gone tomorrow
She flicks through the TV stations
While we sit here in silence everyday
And something's been feeling so wrong for so long
Something's got to change
And don't ask me why but I'll be gone
I won't say goodbye
But I'll be gone tomorrow
I’ll be gone
So don't ask me why
'Cause I'll be gone tomorrow
Don’t you know
I’ll be gone
Gone
Pretty girl on the TV station
Says there's going to be a storm
Two days later I'm still
Running my brain through all of these
Games we play and replay
And it’s so easy
Why can’t it
Be so easy?
Should be so easy for me
But I just keep
Coming back
To the comfortable discomfort of
Each new day
I’ll wait another day

The Space In Between

Lyrics:
Sleeping and dreaming, remembering African plains
Drifting on shadows, I'm visiting places and names
And I know you've been everywhere that I've been
Climbing every tree that you see, while I try
To float through the space in between
Feeling the pull of a current you know you can't fight
Drifting in colour, you're turned around backward to side
And I know you've seen everything that I've seen
Cresting every wave that you meet, while I try
To swim in the space in between
The space in between
Try to imagine what life must look like from afar
Drifting through nothing, no signpost to show where you are
And I know you've dreamed everything that I've dreamed
Outside, looking up at the stars while I stare
At the space in between
The space in between
