Island Drama 05:54
Island Drama: V1: I'm perfectly worn An older model for sure Surrounded, yet alone But inside I know I'm Both possessed and divine A broken record to you Chorus: Welcome to my Island Drama Won't you join me in my Island Drama' V2: Contrary to loss Unable to haunt Or to be rude to you Farfetched and so flawed Beautifully wrong My defaults set to skew the facts Chorus: Welcome to my Island Drama Won't you join me in my Island Drama' Bridge: My Island Drama x4 Outro: I see... You are... Evolving... Revolving... x4

Good With It 04:15
Good With It: V1: No more games With my brain Even though you're good at it It's always the same Type of thing And I know I'm not good with it I would try To live that If I thought I would be good at it I'll stay home Better off alone And please know that I am good with it Bridge: You know I'll never give you what you want God know I've tried and tried But I can never succeed No matter how much I'll bleed Can we try and just take back? The good and the bad I want it all erased from my memory Because it meant so much to me.

Jungle Screams: V1: Screams... Coming from the Jungle Streams... Thick with blood Cries... Coming from the Tree Tops On this Island, We've come to die Die tonight... x2 Outro: Run, run, run away... Run, run, run away... As fast as you can... x2

1. Garden of the Elders Verse 1: She sat out toward her death, Care free while all the rest, Slept light, Worried of when They’d learn of her last breath. Pre-chorus: In the garden of the elders. x2 Chorus: When you’re in the garden And you’ve dealt with all the shame And you’ve hidden all the pain Sitting waiting for the rain. Verse: She owed them all that she had. [She] Carried on all their backs. Some blessings, some burdens Were stacked... Reaching out for them there. Pre-chorus: In the garden of the elders. x2 Chorus: When you’re in the garden And you’ve dealt with all the shame And you’ve hidden all the pain Sitting waiting for the rain. x4

Enough 04:20
Enough: V1: Temptress... More stress... My fault... Can’t Solve... This Quest... In Jest... Free me... Beneath me... Chorus: I never was enough, I’ve never been enough, I never was enough, For you... Too little, too late
6.
In Dirt 04:20
In Dirt: V1: She never saw it coming. Until it was too late. Her head and heart were fuzzy. Her voice locked in restraint. I knew it would be harder now, To make it through the world. Chorus: With my hands down in dirt Skin ripped but don’t hurt My tears made mud there Her eyes blank stares. Instrumental Bridge Chorus: With my hands down in dirt Skin ripped but don’t hurt My tears made mud there Her eyes blank stares.

Thick Frames 03:35
Thick Frames V1: All my fears Heard through plastic ears. And led me to All my tears Shed through viscous spheres Pre-chorus: I’m on a cloud that is taking me up, up, up, up. To a ladder that I’ll climb down, down, down, down. x2 Chorus: I’d leave you now x2 Outro: Pardon me oh lord, I’ve swung the golden sword. I’ve struck upon the head of those who went against your word In my thick frames, Seen it all through my new thick frames. I dropped the sword to beg, mercy for my head Then screamed into an empty room of spirits long dead In my thick frames, Seen it all through my new thick frames. x2

Four M(b)illion Years V1: For 4 Billion years We’ve been on this Earth. We tested it with time And still end up in dirt. It shouldn’t have to rhyme, But pray that it does to all deaf ears. We still have to climb To get up off this tragic island. Chorus: I will see a day when nobody hurts. I will see a day when we hurt too much. No matter what they say I will keep on working. Just because I don’t pray, doesn’t mean that I won’t see it in my day. V2: For almost 30 years I’ve been on this earth. I’ve never had the time On my wrist or in my personal life. It’s really not a crime To love something intangible. I follow it blind It will lead me off this shrinking island. Chorus: I will see the day when nobody hurts. I will see the day when we hurt too much. No matter what they say we must keep on working. Just because we don’t pray, doesn’t mean that we won’t see it in our days. Days, Daze, Days, Daze, Days, Dazed? Outro: I know, I know I’ve said it all before, But I’m gone. I know, I know, I know I’ve said it all before I’m gone, I’m sorry I’m gone Looking for You x4

Caught Away 06:58
Caught Away: V1: I killed my ego. I buried it below. So far down it will never make it out And if it does You know I’ll be there to crush it. I left my old place. Erased my own face. Wanted to hide out and lie, Way down inside, Never oh ever again to resurface. I changed my first name. Now I sign it with pain, As the old me is found I become food for the hounds Piled up in mounds with my brothers and my sisters. I traded my brain For one that’s more sane. I’ll try it like this Eyes closed with balled fists I swing at the world as away I am hurled Chorus: Into darkness not light No rapture tonight Were you caught away? Were you caught away? V2: I shed my new skin. I called up lost kin. I thrashed on my hyde For pity and pride And next I’m astounded by my own dark side. I think and lose track. I speak and react. For better or worse For kisses, for curse Deep down inside my own soul needs a nurse Chorus: Into darkness not light No rapture tonight Were you caught away? Were you caught away? Outro: We will dine with the gods tonight. x2 In the morning we go, In the morning we go home. x2
10.
Rocky Cliffs Below: V1: Walking home alone on the side of the road Look over ledge onto the rocky cliffs below. Straight down and fast, just like the last Six months have been My head buried in a hole. Chorus: It’s probably better we don’t, it’s probably better we don’t It’s probably better that we don’t Take this love any farther. x2 V2: Alone after the show, scared away all of those Who would’ve held my broken body on the shore. I’m bleeding out, I’m full of doubt Sand enters wound, on the rocky cliffs below. Chorus: It’s probably better we don’t, it’s probably better we don’t It’s probably better that we don’t Take this love any farther. x4
11.
About Two Months V1: Ask me do I regret it? No…How Come? Because ,I know that I felt it Some… It was, mostly, All of my fault... I’m sorry... To have wasted your time on me. Chorus: Can we go back About two months? x2 V2: Can we Ever get back there? I’m not sure. Should we start it all over? To come to Some sort Of friendly agreement... That will help to Give up... Some of our freedoms For love. Chorus: Can we go back About two months? x2
12.
Another New Sadness V1: So take this song And let me leave here You’ll still have this to go on I’ll be in your ears Allow to me to walk alone Through all these years Though memories of past times lear I’ll shed no more tears. Chorus: So take this song x2 V2: So take this song And let me be here I’ll scare away all your fears And distill your tears And know that I am so sincere When I say, “I want back those years!” I’ll plod along and never fear By stars I am steered. Chorus: So take this song x2
