My Own Mind
05:36
|
|||
Lyrics by Daryl Ropp
I see it coming round that feeling once again
The seasons change and so it's time to ride the wind
The inner fury storm creation on the wing
Setting down the other side away from foolish pride
Rhythm set to human standard pushing like a blade
Bringing patterns to the light knowing it won't fade
Blades of fire seething with the force of hidden thoughts
Fooling those who fail to see the folly they have bought
I feel the calling of possibilities
The universe is full of many mysteries
Shoring up weakness jumping through my thoughts
Seeking out truth beyond what's been taught
I need control over my own mind
Formulas and phantom fears tearing at my soul
Constraints of time and pride a constant push and pull
Late is better than never but sooner would be fun
Nobody said it was time to run I missed the starting gun
I feel the calling of possibilities
The universe is full of many mysteries
Shoring up weakness jumping through my thoughts
Seeking out truth beyond what's been taught
I feel the calling of possibilities
The universe is full of many mysteries
Shoring up weakness jumping through my thoughts
Seeking out truth beyond what's been taught
I need control over my own mind

Break Free Again

|

Lyrics by Daryl Ropp and Joe Purrenhage
I see it The way of breaking free
I feel it Holding back my need
I wonder When I'll be free
I know it Won't be too long now
Something in my eyes
Makes me realize
What I want to be
Always breaking free
I hear it Knocking at my door
I want it That and so much more
I have it Life drive within me
Things that hold me down
Always losing ground
Now it's time for me
To See what I can be
Breaking Free
Breaking Free
Breaking Free
Again
No freedom To be what I can be
No Movement How can that be free
No Safety Bound up in our fears
No Human We all have shed some tears
Something in my eyes
Makes me realize
What I want to be
Always breaking free
The Loss of Time that slips away
The Gain of Good times in our day
The Balance Riding out this wave
Things that hold me down
Always losing ground
Now it's time for me
To See what I can be
Breaking Free
Breaking Free
Breaking Free
Again
Believing I'm the only one
Retreat from Those who'd do me harm
Attacking Barriers in my way
Surviving All the things they say
Something in my eyes
Makes me realize
What I want to be
Always breaking free
Breaking Free
Breaking Free
Breaking Free
Again
Breaking Free
Breaking Free
Breaking Free
Again

Keeping Up With Time
03:23
|
|||
Lyrics by Daryl Ropp
The seas of time do I sail
If I try I may fail
If I don’t my soul’s for sale
Go into underneath and find
All the hidden lines
Below the apathy of life
The inner strife will heal
I need to know it for sure
The feelings of pure
Release all the gore
Reflecting back on all that’s been
My senses start to shine
Hallowed the halls I have seen
My Prescient Dreams
I’ve seen the times of pure satisfying joy
Visions of wilderness ever since I was a boy
Seeking the answers untapped within my mind
Blasting along just keeping up with time
The crippled thoughts in my mind
Are lost and unkind
Won’t leave me behind
Below the dreams we always lose
Is the real world
Cooped up inside we all lose sight
Of the outside world
I’ve seen the times of pure satisfying joy
Visions of wilderness ever since I was a boy
Seeking the answers untapped within my mind
Blasting along just keeping up with time

Without a Reason Why
03:47
|
|||
Lyrics by Daryl Ropp
Looking for peace of mind
Up here where everything is fine and free
It’s where I want to be
Clear blue water stretches out
Fine cool breeze clears my mind out of the things
That make me go insane
I see it right before my eyes
The freedom to give it one more try
A sense of life without a reason why
Leaves of trees flash in the breeze
Summertime is the time to call it out
And pull it back again
Cicadas singing in the sun
Strike a chord that’s primal within everyone
Who’s ever been in love
I see it right before my eyes
The freedom to give it one more try
A sense of life without a reason why
I see it right before my eyes
The freedom to give it one more try
A sense of life without a reason why

Walking Around
02:25
|
|||
Lyrics by Daryl Ropp
Walking around outside I feel that
This could be my day
The great expanse of space above me
Blows my mind away
Seasons change while birds will sing
Songs of yesterday
Something inside makes me wonder
Walking around today
Mountains high up in the sky
Walking around I think my my my
Sanctuary of living dreams
Loving you today
Mountains high up in the sky
Walking around I think my my my
Sanctuary of living dreams
Loving you today
Walking around outside I know that
This will be my day
The great expanse of space above me
Blows my mind away
Seasons change while birds will sing
Songs of yesterday
Something inside makes me wonder
Walking around today

Melancholy Days
05:32
|
|||
Lyrics by Daryl Ropp
I don’t feel what I should
There’s so much in life that’s good
My fate follows me round like a dark clould
Ask for nothing, receiving just that
Set the bar high still coming up flat
No I didn’t do all that I could
Now there’s nowhere to go
Can’t find love it’s all so up tight
No one wants to do what is right
Dead is the world that I once knew
I can feel it in my veins
Things may never be the same
Entering a new dark phase
These melancholy days
I see time as if it was lost
Don’t want to feel there’s so big a cost
Can’t find a thing that isn’t the way
I saw within my eyes
I want life to be as it is
So hard to love but know how to live
See all the words that I just can’t say
I can feel it in my veins
Things may never be the same
Entering a new dark phase
These melancholy days
Life is flowing in my veins
Things I love still remain
Passing through a bleak dark phase
These melancholy days

Outside Pressure
03:41
|
|||
Lyrics by Joe Purrenhage
As I wander down the road I wonder where to go
Something starts to push on me and makes me want to know
Building up outside of me as if I will implode
Pushing inward
I push outward
I get up some energy to push against the the wall
Resistance only makes me stronger now I make the call
I let it take hold of me and start to take the fall
Pushing inward
I push outward
Twisting, turning and feeling the burning
Pushing, pulling as if I’m drowning
Wearing, tearing the
Outside Pressure
Outside Pressure
Outside Pressure
Pushing inward
I push outward
Twisting, turning and feeling the burning
Pushing, pulling as if I’m drowning
Wearing, tearing the
Outside Pressure
Outside Pressure
Outside Pressure

Drive
04:39
|

Lyrics by Joe Purrenhage
Got this stupid guy in front of me and he doesn’t
doesn’t want to see the world
Standing here trying to do my thing and he wasn’t
wasn’t going to give it a whirl
Gotta pass to the other side of a moment
moments won’t be here for long
No stranger daze gonna stop me now cause I’ve got to
got to get on to this song
I’m driving, I am driving
I’m driving, driving to get to somewhere
I’m driving, I am driving
I’m driving, driver be aware
Chasing lanes in a stop and go doesn’t make sense
since you’re not going to there
Check the phone cause an accident ‘cause their mind went
went somewhere other than here
Looking forward to the open road where I can
I can be mobile again
Hold on to my thoughts and dreams where I’ll see
See a way to let it begin
I’m driving, I am driving
I’m driving, driving to get to somewhere
I’m driving, I am driving
I’m driving, driver be aware
I’m going to get away from here
pass on to the other side
I need to be free and clear
I’m running so far and wide
When I speed away from here
It’s a long way to ride
There’s not a soul for a mile ahead and she doesn’t
doesn’t fill the space in between
May be stuck in a daydream again and she couldn’t
couldn’t find her way back again
She makes a move to the inside lane and I pray that
pray that nobody is there
Just my luck would be an accident and then I
then I just stop and stare
