Fortunate Ones
02:58

Come with me
Castle by the sea
I have everything you need
Take my hand
I’ll pull you out of the sand
No one can tell how the world went to hell
But we are the fortunate ones
Now we go, escape to the place that our hearts know
It’s real if you try, it’s so real in my mind, yes,
We are the fortunate ones
We who dive in waves
Are bound to wet our sleeves
We will live our days
Divers by the ocean
As we fly over the mountains in our minds
Look forward not down, you’re not far from the ground, yes,
We are the fortunate ones
Gold is gold
All the stories are told
No one can say how we got away, but
We are the fortunate ones
We who dive in waves
Are bound to wet our sleeves
We will live our days
Divers by the ocean

Arrival
04:05
|
|||
|
Here we are, made it this far
We traveled here, through everything I know now
See the shore, lined up for miles
In the atmosphere of everything I stand for
What is clear, is that my fear is a mystery to everyone besides me
My soul is in your eyes
My soul is in your eyes
This body stands as my disguise
My soul is in your eyes
Skipping stones, look out at the horizon and say
“Oh lord it seems so far away!”
I have then and I have now
but I’m not counting days
I am counting all the ways
My soul is in your eyes
My soul is in your eyes
This body stands as my disguise
My soul is in your eyes
Feel safe, feel safe

Time Told Me
02:30
|
|||
|
Driving out to nowhere
Snowflakes falling in our hair
We look so good as they fall
Wiping dust off the wall
Time told me
“Take it slow. I’ll let you be before you go.”
Time told me
“Don’t look back at everything that you lack.”
Walk out on the frozen lake
The world we left seemed so fake
Life is an endless mystery
All the parts I’ll never see
Life told me,
“Take it slow. I’ll let you be before you go.”
Life told me
“Don’t look back at everything that you lack”

Born Lonely
03:19
|
|||
|
Someone once said to me
“Everyone is born lonely”
Well it still seems to me we’re all bored and lonely
Float across the tops of trees as planets collide
Peel apart the horizon and jump inside
I’m running free towards my fantasy
I’m running free towards my fantasy
Bright and sparkling galaxies exist on the other side
Angels wait to illuminate the magic in my mind
I am at peace
Inside my fantasy
I am at peace
Inside my fantasy
I am at peace
Inside my fantasy

We have fun
Underneath the sun
What would I do if you broke both your wings?
I love you
We both know
To each other we are shown
Oh what would I do if your birds couldn’t sing?
I love you
Why’s the world so big?
Cruel joke, we see it as kids
All that school yet I’m still a fool about all of it
We had fun
Revolving around the sun
Oh what can I do?
I am now part of you
Oh I love you
What can I do?
I am now part of you
Oh I love you
I, I love you

Bumblebee

Bumblebee.
Soda-pop on your pollinated knees
You were tricked by a thing so sweet
It’s the reason your little heart beats
Bumblebee.
I’m feeling wretchedly human
Won’t you take me to your honeycomb home?
I want honey to run through my bones
Take me back down the overgrown path
We arrive at a secret door
A new place, but I’ve been here before
On the other side of now
A world I know somehow
I am having déjà vu
Déjà vu
Déjà vu
The memory comes back to me
In déjà vu
Déjà vu
Oh bumblebee.
Just how long has it been?
I feel like we are old friends
Even though you once stung my tongue
I am having déjà vu
Déjà vu
Déjà vu
The memory comes back to me
In déjà vu.
Déjà vu
And bumblebee I was there with you
In déjà vu.
Déjà vu
And bumblebee I was there with you
In déjà vu.
Déjà vu

In The Night
04:56
|
|||
|
In the night I wait for the storm
In the night I wait for the storm
Wrap myself in a blanket of warmth
In the night I wait for the storm
Hark! Herald!
In a hell where I fly
Where I’m away from myself
I’m away from my mind
Hark! Herald!
In a hell where I fly
Where I’m away from life
And I vie for my time
In this night
While I’m alive
How am I supposed to be with this curse inside of me?
And you were always there
And when I went to lay my head, you were the one who said
You would always be there
Turn on the lamp to see the door
Place my feet on the cold stone floor
Watch the curtain drunk with wind
Lift the sheet, get back in
Is that a lost ghost I hear?
Or is it your voice in my ear?
This is no sane way to behave
I must get up, I must be brave
As a child I lied in bed to count my sheep and rest my head
A glowing being came to me, whispered close and promised me that it would never leave
It was my fantasy
I have magic spells in me. Something deep pulls me through life
A secret wish through all my strife, a garden full of tangled vines
And now, its calling me. My fantasy
Outside the lightning splits the earth. A hurricane of leaves and dirt
Into the vast possessing woods then through the storm I clearly see, it’s there, waiting for me,
My fantasy
Come to me.

World Of My Own
03:59
|
|||
|
Excuse me for one minute please
I have to leave to create a world of my own
And you could never blame me
You can do the same
Don’t you see? Don’t you see?
Create a world of your own.
Where all I want has come to stay
All the sadness has gone away
Yes I, I made it that way
Yes I, I made it that way
Create a world of your own.
I have then
I have now
I’ve seen love pass
Still somehow I feel the need to be free
Create a world of my own.

Labyrinth
02:44
|

|
You want to bring me up high
You want to bring me down low
All you need to do is let me know
You want to take it to the side
Then you want to take it to the other side
I promise you that I won’t hide
You want to dance in your galaxy
You want to dive deep below the sea
Oh promise that you will bring me
If you are going up, I am going up with you
And if you’re going down, I am going down too
In the meantime we have everything to do
If you are going there
I am going there with you
Dancing in the disco galaxy
Where everyone I know loves me
Dancing in the disco galaxy
Where everyone I know loves me
Dancing in the disco galaxy
Where everyone I know loves me

The Catacombs
03:36
|
|||
|
We’re the ones they say
Take our secrets to our graves
Broke from the start
We are broken at the heart
When I walked you home
There was no one home
To greet or let you in
So would you be my friend?
We’re number one
We have so much fun
I need you
The world is wrong without you
We’re not like them
We couldn’t be if we tried
I will follow you
Into the darkest night
I, I went to the catacombs
Sorted through the old bones
I knew we’d end up like them
We’re ashes, we’re nothing
Still, there where the fields grow tall
We read the words on the wall
And we know we’re not like them
We’re something, we’re everything!
We are the fortunate ones
We are the fortunate ones
We are the fortunate ones
Take me far away
Where dreams run through our blood
Where my flowers grow
Up out of my mud
Don’t lose sight
Of the visions you have found
Don’t look back
At the world you lack

The Fantasy
02:39
|
|||
|
The dust settled as I grew near
The figure of my fantasy began to appear
It whispered close
“Which world will you choose?
The one where you have everything?
Or the one with nothing to lose?”
I have then
I have now
I’ve seen love pass
Still somehow I feel the need to be free
At that moment, the worlds began to blend
I saw that all I feared and hated was my closest friend
I knew what I had to do
Build the room in my own heart for both views
And I advise the same for you
Build the room in your own heart for all the parts of you.
