Bloom 05:09

Bloom under the sun, beautiful color song sung
 Life forgets no one, nothing goes unseen 
Feed into my mind, truths within universal tide
 Share, collaborate, deluge dopamine
 Together we could have it all
 Yeah, together we could have it all

 You are a gem, not to be had, you are free again
 Love, oh in your heart, there you know I’ll be
 Breathe into my lungs, expanding now 
You can trust in fun
 Share, collaborate, deluge dopamine
 Together we could have it all 
 Yeah, together we could have it all
 Take my hand my friend, you are me and I am you
 Take my hand my friend, it’s the least that we can do
 Take my hand my friend, you are me and I am you
 Take my hand my friend, it’s the least that we can do, do

 Together we could have it all
 Yeah, together we could have it all
 Take my hand my friend, you are me and I am you
 Take my hand my friend, it’s the least that we can do
 Take my hand my friend, you are me and I am you
 Take my hand my friend, it’s the least that we can do

Seeds 05:01
The man with the secret knows alone 
If the secret stays a secret it goes to show 
 Why it stays a secret is for him and him alone to know 
 Or let it out at the show
 Thinking about what I was when I was young
 And how I never thought I’d end up in a life on a run 
 Or find myself staring down the barrel of a gun, 
 But here I come, yeah

 It is what it is now but it won’t have to stay 
Dissolve the separation and the colors away
 A powerful mixture of passion and compassion 
Finally a rational view to stay, yeah 
 Seeds I plant and I water them too
 What is this I’m called to do?
 Seeds I plant and I water them too
 What is this I’m called to do? What is this I’m called to?

 Sometimes nothing is something when it’s done
 No one is mine and nothing is mine, I have none
 It’s all a gift for a time 
A point of opportunity to unwind
 Opportunities lie in this design 

It is what it is now but it won’t have to stay
 Dissolve the separation and the colors away
 A powerful mixture of passion and compassion
 Finally a rational view to stay, yeah 
 Seeds I plant and I water them too
 What is this I’m called to do?
 Seeds I plant and I water them too
 What is this I’m called to do? What is this I’m called to?

 Work my hands to the bone, reap what I done sown
 If I don’t know what I sow, what have I been told? 
I stay working in the sun, and I work through the rain
 Through the blood and sweat and tears 
I crawl right through the pain 
When is then? I know when! 
But when is then? Tell me when!

 Seeds I plant and I water them too
 What is this I’m called to do?
 Seeds I plant and I water them too
 What is this I’m called to do? Yeah
 Seeds I plant and I water them too
 What is this I’m called to do? 
Seeds I plant and I water them too
 What is this I’m called to do? What is this I’m called to?

Turnaround 03:12
Times up it's a turnaround 
Counting the days since I've last been burned out 
Look around, What happened to the turn out?
 And again life's weighing down on me, weighing down on me 

It's been a new day more than 10,000 times in my lifetime, up ‘til now 
I've been told it won't slow down, on the low-down no more
 Let it in, stop the rain, (I'm) getting wet again
 But I've stopped the pain 
Lookin' either way, don't be the one to say, "I don't want to stay"
 Times up it’s a turnaround 
 Counting the days since I've last been burned out 
Look around. What happened to the turn out?
 And again life's weighing down on me 
 What if the devil on my right is a good guy? 
And the angel on my left wants a good time? 
 Everything blurs until there are no lines 
Lord what's happening to me, happening to me?

 Sometimes I predict a certain thing with an intuition 
 Not bought with tuition 
 Thoughts coming to fruition 
 May be the solutions I have been waiting for
 We traded for temptation, direct relation
 Contradict the face in the mirror makes your skin thin
 Breath it in deep again
 Times up it's a turnaround 
 Counting the days since I've last been burned out 
Look around. What happened to the turn out?
 And again life's weighing down on me 
What if the devil on my right is a good guy? 
And the angel on my left wants a good time? 
 Everything blurs until there are no lines
 Lord what's happening to me? Happening to me
 Yeah, I pick myself up off the ground, yeah, 
I pick myself up off the ground 
 I pick myself up off the ground

 And if you think you’re the only one 
No wonder why you want the things the way you do 
Excuses, excuses, self-comfort is your suffering

 Times up it's a turnaround 
Counting the days since I've last been burned out
 Look around. What happened to the turn out?
 And again life's weighing down on me 
 What if the devil on my right is a good guy? 
 And the angel on my left wants a good time? 
 Everything blurs until there are no lines
 Lord what's happening to me? Happening to me! 
 Happening to me, Happening to me 
 Happening to me, to me! 
Happening to me, happening to me! Excuses excuses 
 Self-comfort is your suffering

Water 06:24
I feel you like the water when I’m running in the rain
 You tempt me just like the moonshine and it’s driving me insane

 You’re the apple of my eye girl, but the season’s come and gone
 You run off to California, and I keep rolling on 
 And on and on and on 

I feel you like the water when I’m running in the rain 
You tempt me just like the moonshine and it’s driving me insane 

Shoulder from a distance even though I’m leaning in
 Couldn’t be too far now, now I’m running thin 
I saw you in a dream once, in a castle far away 
I knew the sand-dial’s running and I know I cannot stay

 Feel you like the water when I’m running in the rain
 You tempt me just like the moonshine and it’s driving me insane 

Feel you like the water when I’m running in the rain
 You tempt me just like the moonshine! It’s driving me insane
 It’s driving me insane

Lights Up 07:21

In the Sand 07:14
I’ve arrived it seems, but nothing here is green. No rain; just shine 
No roads in sight to lead me to the land I’ve yet to find 
I am lost in my plan burning up in the desert sunset
 Pull the map out of the sand although there’s nothing written there

 The shadow beneath my cutup calloused feet extends far away from me
The sun it beats, percutaneous, it pierces through me 
I am lost in my plan burning up in the desert sunset 
Pull the map out of the sand although there’s nothing written there 

I am lost in my plan burning up in the desert sunset
 Pull the map out of the sand although there’s nothing written there
 I am lost in my plan burning up in the desert sunset
 Pull the map out of the sand although there’s nothing written 
 There to help me at all
 I’m not gonna die in the sand, I’m not gonna die in the sand 
I’m not gonna die in the sand, I’m not gonna die in the sand

7.
Step through the thin veil, ephemeral might 
Lost in the deep, still embracing the night
 Entranced with your movements, 
Oh, you’re clouding my mind
 You got flypaper skin 
I stick to you every time

 Play with your thoughts, don’t let your thoughts play you
 You run through my dreams, and so I must pursue, yeah 
Dance with your demons, 
 Oh, you drink what they give
 Then you fall to the ground now 
 You’re just learning to live 

As I stand at the top of a mountain, I will shout your name at the top of my lungs
 But for now I will just keep counting, hoping my days won’t fade away

 You’re boundless expression and thoughts taking flight
 You’re seeding creation, and you’re held to the light
 So come up to my tree and breath it all in 
 And you witness the freedom and the pleasure in sin

 As I stand at the top of a mountain, I will shout your name at the top of my lungs
 But for now I will just keep counting, hoping my days won’t fade away
