Day By Day 03:11
I am the man of the mountain And my heels dig up the dirt that I made When I climb up to feel a love that’s so real At a height above all who I’ve betrayed I am a man of the shadows And I hide in the dark of the day With a silence so soft, I can hear myself cough up my insides When I exhale my pain And day by day, day by day I drag myself through the rain Sunshine or not, I’m eternally caught between a rock And this mountain I made And I am a man of the flowers That have bloomed from my gardening days But they’ve started to wilt, From the weight of my guilt Now I can’t tell if they’re roses or daises And I swear I’m a man of the people So many I’ve loved all my days I’m a man of respect, not a man of neglect Though many will tell you I ain’t And day by day, day by day I haul my feet through tumultuous terrain To love, or to lose? I cannot choose Stuck, on this mountain I made

Red 04:41
Please hold my hand, it’s happened again The depths of my sorrow has avenged my distress I need your shoulder to relax my head Fore I do not see futures without us as friends When all else fails you, I’ll give you my heart And we’ll cut through the vines that break us apart With only each other, We’ll shaft those who kill The goodness that thrives when kindness instills ‘Cause they can’t comprehend The peace that prevails When you open your eyes To all that entails But as time overlaps our premature bond You encounter the silence, and start to despond Distracted and stressed, you find something new And the distance it grows, and the failure ensues But I want success, And I want to preserve The clasp of our hands when the world starts to turn So I fight parasites as they invade your lungs Collapse your insight, And rewire your tongue While you do not move, you do not even try Because you do not care, And our friendship, it dies But I’ll always love you, your sweet voice and warm eyes All that we shared, Even goodbye

The Warrior 04:10
The Warrior Where do I go, when there's nowhere to run? Who do I turn to, when everyone's gone? Darkness is falling by the light of the dawn And I cannot see you Anymore Show me a smile Like you used to before When our dreams were like angels So real, and so pure When we shared a love That could not be torn But I cannot see you Anymore Now all this don't seem so real When I reach out to you And there's nothing to feel No heart that holds faith From the demons that wait For the slip of a hand Into hell's fearless gates Fill up my mind With those sinful thoughts Until I am weary And you are not Until you are grounded And I am lost Lost, and forgotten Forgotten, and gone Now all this is so surreal When I hold you so close But there's nothing to feel No hands that hold hope No courage to cope From the loss of a love A long time ago

After 05:33
Hold me like a baby, baby ‘Cause I can feel our love changing Our hope will not float, So we must let go of the ropes that have our hearts dangling But please still treat me like a child Fore I am still lost, innocent and too quiet Alone on a path that others have passed But for you was not quite as worthwhile This is where our story ends No longer lovers, and no longer friends The words on our pages silence our voices To not speak of our love again We say hello, and goodbye But I miss our good mornings, and I miss our goodnights The rush of our blood when our lust would ignite And the genuine soul in your smile But your eyes are no longer for me They fall on another, so solemn and sweet They never look back on our tragic past They just look away from an old lover’s plea And so the distance becomes a good friend One I admire, and can’t help but contend One that has left me empty and hopeless As it grows ‘neath the depths of my lonesome cold den So feel my heart pounding, baby One more last time, before our lives start changing Feel it erupt, and shrivel up from the touch Then say farewell with your soft hands, waving

Movement 03:43
This is the last time That I will invest my life With you on my mind ‘Cause back when your chains Ate at my wrists Solutions were nameless, Then ceased to exist I stood in a doubtful position With hands reached out Towards those who didn’t listen And eyes focused on a face That could not recollect The qualities that blossom Through a man of respect Engulfed in a hot air, I was too blind to see These lifeless roots that terrorized me But with some clarity, Your legacy is clear You left problems here And this is the last time That I will refrain from movement Think of the past, And wish to undo it Soak in the wallows of your sadness Dry off with your pain and your madness And this is the last time That I will stay patient Accept lack of progress And conniving conditions And for the first time I will forget I will break these chains, And I will disconnect

Darling, dance with me And we’ll sway like the wind and the trees With our hands intertwined, and our hearts side by side And the delicate sound of our sighs You will bear my children And we’ll teach them the things that we know The things that we lost from the people we trust And the things that we’ll never let go We’ll dream they’ll all flourish in fame But they’ll all strive to be ordinary And they’ll say things to spite us, To fight and defy us But we will love them always And I’ll turn to you when all darkness ensues When the treasures of life dissipate But you’ll be unphased by the world’s soulless games Saying “baby, tomorrow’s a new day” Our family will instantly grow When our kids have kids of their own Their hearts grow less colder when their babies grow older For fear that they will live alone So we’ll give them the guidance they seek When their hearts become weary and weak And we’ll give them our strength when they fall on their face From the weight of the baggage they’ve made And I’ll turn to you when my rage has commenced When the sun’s gone, and darkness descends But you’ll be unphased by my withering state Saying “baby, tomorrow’s a new day” As we finally shake hands with old age When our hair turns a light shade of grey I’ll look back on our past, with a smile and a laugh But you don’t seem to do the same Your mind starts to sink far below The roots where our true love has grown That look in your eyes, and that beautiful smile Do not have that familiar glow And you’ll turn to me, Thoughtless and scared When somewhere and something Become nothing, and nowhere I’ll battle my pain, and triumph unphased Saying “baby, tomorrow’s a new day.”
