UNSPOKEN
(Tschannen)

In the fall and in the rise,
To wipe the sad look off her face,
Brings a memory to mind
That time can't erase.

That cold and airy year
With my conscience on a bow,
You said that it could never happen,
We're two good friends right now.

Unspoken words we never knew,
Ill communicated, they never got through.

If you want to say it
Better get it out
Before it comes back and hurts you.

Calling from the top how I'd wish you'd drop for me.
A rush sensation, motivation but
The unsaid’s not unseen and it's now gone.

Now every wave that crashes in
Brings back the way she used to swim.
The sea it chokes her,
Now it’s bleeding out her mouth that all these

Chorus

BACK TO LOVE

(Tschannen/Phelps/Holder/Manganelli/Thomas/Walker)

Let it back in

But where to start, where to begin?

Babe I don’t know...

But you can come and take it real slow

Come back for love’s sake

its not my heart that’s going to break

Because there’s nothing deeper than a sad song.

And I’d have to admit any other way is much to long.

So its back to love...

The place I’m dreaming of

Not a rendition, superstition

Just to break your intuition bout my cross-sides

Where there’s so much to hide.

So please come...

Back to Love

Its feeling felt from above

And its coming back....

Its where I want it all,

It’s what I call love.

Sway like the tress

In the warming ocean breeze

But when you hear the thunder,

Don’t fall to going under.

And when the evening rain is gone,

You’ll find that the weather’s never wrong.

Cause then the air is clear,

And you will hear

The sweetest sound

I’ve ever found

The place I go

Chorus

Higher, Higher than my voice can go

More entertaining than a one man show

Babe you’ll see that you mean the world to me.

Cause it’s from above...

          Its from above...

SUMMER EVENING DRIVE
(Tschannen)

Further than your Eyes look into mine,
That’s how far I want to drive.
You know this car gives me the chills,
But I’m in heaven when you’re holding me tight.

Rollercoaster love ain’t the kind for me.
It’s Just an ugly sight.
And it’s so true about me and you,
Were not the kind who’s pushing that fight.

No one is looking for rain anytime soon
And the sun is making its way down,
Babe let’s leave and drive on through
Cause its our chance to get out of this town.

So lets ride in the car until midnight.
We always fall for the ones who have dreams.
And were so in love and I’m so alive
On this summer Evening drive.

Cruising along with the ocean in my sight,
Her hair floats along in the breeze.
A tear collects in the corner of my Eye,
But my smile is all that she sees.

Cause I know that this escape feels so good,
But will only last for so long,
So together we hold each others hands
And we imagine the words of sweet songs.

And my soul aches for
The saccharine sound of her voice in my ear,
And it don’t matter what we see or where we go,
Cause you’re here by my side baby dear.

Chorus

Chaos in this parallel of two coexisting worlds,
Lets Fly to heaven and leave from hell,
We'll fly away from like birds.
So dream little girl,
Well be home by the end of the night.
Your dance, free of stutter,
Will rid us of the light.
So keep dreaming or the moon must then go down,
And the Sun will take us back to town.

All these thoughts of jealously
Couldn’t take mind
Not when were already this far ahead,
And have left the mundane world behind.

The winding rivers that well drive along,
The hills well find them too.
All the things well come across,
Well find out more than what we can do.

I’ve found all the time in the world,
We can take it a mile high.
Honey, keep your eyes Open wide,
For our time will be made in the sky.

And I’m no James Dean,
But I’ve been living this scene
For the life we could make by the mile.

And your sass and preen,
Ain't nothing like I’ve seen in a while...

Bridge

And this shadow has lifted from my eyes,
And now I can see all the reasons why,
We took this summer evening drive.

RUN FROM ME
(Tschannen/Weigert)
Take a whiff of your hair,
Like a drug you were there,
That one night you were gold like a beam.

And the smoke from her lips
Travels round like her hips
And she makes love flow like a dream.

Slipped in like a soaked cigarette, all cold
Ruined every minute after even when you were told.

You’re always too bold.
And when you run from me
I will clench you tighter.
You run from me
I will take this thing higher.
You run from me,
And I clench you.
The chase goes on

With your head off the ledge,
Getting all but the edge,
The feelings lifting through my body and I hear you scream.

Emotion, My devotions lost,
And all that’s cost
Is running from me.

Got you into this position
Got you into this hold.
First impressions are the most important thing I’ve been told...

Chorus.

So run on.

With your Eyes in the Air,
You are all but not there.
Ironically you’re not first I’ve ever met who runs free.

It’s just all of your friends,
Start the drama on ends,
And they make the world harder it seems.

Walked in with too much
Id expect to be told.
Friendships can't exist cause were just all too cold.

Chorus



LONG DAY
(Tschannen)
People crazy when I look around
And I’m downtown
And I see the sky and it’s sad,
It’s bad like the other day and the same day everyday before.

And it starts to rain,
It pours down hard,
Please why did god have to play that card?
But its half past ten put a quarter away and the good will come.

Its on a long day, lived,
It’s a long day to be something that don’t last forever,
It’s a long day, to be this lonely.
It’s just too long of a day to tell.

Set on a dream to marry a queen,
At the age of sweet sixteen,
Her violet dress tops busty chest
And bright lights capture her finesse.

Glamour, fashion magazines,
Interviews with wannabe teens
But what do I know, my minds blocking the way,
And the rest wont come easy, but now Ill say,

Chorus.

Stop that picture on the screen,
Fifteen minutes of anything.
Stars from you fall from the sky
I wish on them but I don’t know why.

I’m sliding off into the sea,
Please come out and rescue me,
But too much talking, will my brains do,
Erase that line; you said I love you

Please step down away from the stage,
Find me here on another page,
Did you come back down to show some class?
Or did you come back down to rescue me from the past

Stop that picture on the screen,
Fifteen minutes of anything.
Stars from you fall from the sky
I wish on them but I don’t know why.

It’s too long of a day to tell,
But I haven’t forgotten
I’m sliding of into the sea
Please come out and rescue me.

Chorus

LOCUSTS
(Tschannen)
Your smile made the days come on,
All those days in the summer
Where we hung on the lawn.

We were living in the closest times.
Don’t know what it is
Until it goes by.

I keep holding on to yesterday.
All that’s good is floating away.

I’m crashing into you
There’s no more sky of blue.
Cause nothings what it seems
When life’s shaped out of dreams.
I can’t tell all the friends I’ve made.
The best is what I’ve always saved.
I’ve changed my mind, I’m leaving this behind.
Nothing feels the same. The hurting's here to stay

Step away from the ones who say
That it’s the one, the single
The only way.

But when it comes around
They’re waiting there to stab you in the back.

I’ve been waiting on the clouds today,
And hoping that they would rain the past away.

Maybe it’s not Time;
Maybe, it’s not mine to say.

Chorus

CHOKED
(Tschannen)
Temptations fill within my head
The nerve to speak of wrong you’ve said
All the burning in my veins
Yes it drives me near insane

I’m someone of the utmost kind
To pick up new, and leave behind
The feelings (I’ve had few)
And throw them back at you.

The demons that I come to face,
Come further than could ever trace
Ill take this heavy load.
To carry down the road.

Hang on, and Never Press to choke before the chance is gone
Feel Shame, only when you’ve given up the dreams you’ve made
Tell me why, more or less of nothing never got me there
The best has always been the sane.

Somehow I’m there, I’ve gotten through,
The devils called me what to do-
I’ve gotten more than fame
in this selfly-centered game

My twisted mind of sex and fads,
Of alcohol and TV ads
Define the light sides of my brain
Living life poured down the drain

My call for help, my endless cry
Please save me here before I die
I keep falling forward in,
The turmoil of the world that’s been so small.

Did you think It'd ever come your way?
Yes, I knew it would always come

Did you feel it steal your heart away?
Never knew where it was coming from

Pick it up, it’s our time lets go.
We’ve been waiting for this world class show
And we'll be playing.

Your verse, your voice, your common sense,
I’ve loved it all you know.
Hence your hands will guide me too.
Let’s make the follow through.

Chorus.

NEVER LET YOU LEAVE
(Tschannen/O’Connell)
You leave without a noise in the night.
Not a trace of your being left.
You feel like you can just walk away,
And not leave a note for me

You feel every day is just a day
Where you can make everything as you go,
You feel like you can walk over me
Without a subtle fight, an uttered word.

You leave
Without a single thought on your mind.
You leave;
You take my heart as I die
You leave

Why does it seem you can walk over me?
Why do I lose this battle everyday?
Oh I never thought it could be this way,
Oh I never thought I would see this day.
Oh can I let you leave one day,
Without knowing that I am waiting here for you,
-another thought in the back of my mind,
Tell me everything will be all right
For you. And Ill never let it be the same.

Every day when the alarm sounds
I get out of bed. Life comes back to me
And every pain I Felt before
Comes crashing down.

I wish things could be the same.
Like the day you left me here.
Now my colors are faded
I’m seeing shades of gray.

Chorus.

Tell me everything will change.
Ill never let you leave

SOUL TO BELIEVE
(Tschannen)

Useless words like maybe and could
Never came into my mind but if they ever would,
Id push them out to make the times stay good.
And keep in my own peace.

To take the high the road where it goes,
Cause it’s the path everyone wants to know
Find a girl, and take her everywhere I know.
You never know that you’ll get that low
And my egoism comes to cease.

You know it’s all that we were meant to be.
To be something that you can’t esteem.
You think that some lost souls could never have dreams.
But life’s too good to pass up on these things.

I want to fly away
To another day
Or stay here forever;
I want a soul to believe.

Monday’s life is just a bore.
Tuesday holds us up a day or more.
Wednesday brings us dread for weeks galore.
For this struggle inside of me.

Thursday heals the sound I haven’t found,
And then on Friday nights I get addicted to the drink where we drown.
But too much talking makes hopes get down
And you can’t live this life again.

So pay it to the great king.
The great god of mine
That my brother couldn’t hold in his dream.
But no one's there and life ain't what it seems.

I want to fly away.
To another day
And leave here forever.
I’ve got a mind to dream.

Somewhere we know it’s too far to reach
And finally realize we're too weak
And you thought you could find me.
Watch everything come and go
Calm down and take it slow.
Because I can feel you talk
And I can breathe you’re skin

There’s somewhere that we all belong,
You might not find out where by the end of this song.
So give a Chance for love
You’ve got more time than you need.

And people’s hearts will help you find your way back home
And you’re not alone. I’m going to say
That yes I know.
And I believe you and I could.

Chorus

CRYSTAL BODY
(Tschannen)

Virgin of the lesser kind
Keep me clean and rid my mind
Temptation cant find my loose ends

At a new velocity
Accelerates Inside of me,
A change that speeds around the bends

For Seven years or more,
Ill stand holding my door
Closed in this ship taking on water

Like pulling out of war,
Takes a steady hand before,
The son can divide from the father.

This Crystal body is mine,
And a whole lotta love, is kicking me out of line,
Crystalline is my sound,
Deeper than needles, My Inspiration can be found

In a dream it came to me
What is more than my physical being?
It’s what I’ve come to move upon

That when to loud is way too hard?
Ill come to silence afterward,
Until my body comes around.

With wings of light and wings of dark,
My thoughts are tearing me apart-
Stripping my soul right out of me

Chorus.

MEET ME AT THE SUN
(Tschannen)

Wake up,
I’m Falling Asleep
And what could keep my eyes hot
Cause I’m losing steam
To burn away the centrifugal things that go round,,,

This Old of Thinking,
In this new of time
And alcohol cant stand my line,
Its not my vision, its what I found
Not Paperback, Its hardbound

So lets see,,,
I cant take it anymore
Cause its not me
Force Fed from the Daily Bread
Let Me Ingest, Cause its coming Back Out of Me

We must Get High
This Second Try,
The Smoke We blow has gotten dry,
The way we made the Earth go round,
When we couldn’t think to save our lives
Agnostic cries, we live in lies,
And cant handle to be the up and one
Stick it, hurry up & meet me at the sun

Come Here,
Before my stormy skies appear
Lets hear it from the rain
Refresh, renew your association
With the high class comeback generation

Watcha wanna do?
Live in disguise
Claim yourself,
I am the man four wings to fly
Feel my rhythm, four beats to dig 'em
Watch me go round with the sword,
I can’t live to die

Ha,,,,
You cant cut
Away all tines and knots from us
You’re so entied in my jungles vines

And I’m so into my own vibe

So into it

I break the rules
Of what you’d find,
Join with me and start a line
I’m tied without knots
I’m striped without the lines

Fortune has come round
And not a thing is there to save us from the drown
I’m bold without mass,
I’m old without age
I’m locked up somehow without a cage

Stand your ground!
I hear it from a strange direction
Stick to things you can see for your protection
Break it up- live it to the break,
Watch you fall and getup
Its your mistake

Bend along with the spoon in my kinesis.
Better stick around and claim your thesis,
Prove the system, prove them wrong,
Did they ever figure harsh words feed the strong?
