Diggin' a Hole (free) 03:59
Diggin' a hole Under the hill and far below To bury my love The heavens above will never know Well everyone lives with a secret The trick is to never repeat it No As long as the heart keeps on beating As long as the desert garden grows Never forever Well I'm diggin' a hole Under the hill and far below To bury my love The heavens above may never know I'm diggin' a hole Diggin' it deep where no one goes And every night She'll lie in the light of the shadows So what if the skeleton's breathing The closet is full from the years before As long as the clock keeps on ticking As long as the time may wait no more We'll be together Now I'm digging a hole Under the hill and far below To bury my love The heavens above may never know I'm diggin' a hole Diggin' it deep where no one goes And every night She'll lie in the light of the shadows Arms holding you tight They never hurry They never worry Oh maybe tonight We can be married We can be carried away We'll be alright We'll never hurry We'll never worry... ...'Cuz I'm diggin a hole Under the hill and far below To bury my love The heavens above may never know I'm diggin' a hole Diggin' it deep where no one goes And every night We'll lie in the light of the shadows Oh I'm diggin' a hole Under the hill and far below To bury my love The heavens above will never know

Valley of the Gone (free) 05:09
What is there to say with broken words Talking out of turn to be unheard The lies that compromise the truth untold In the language of the lost we'll never know What is there to gain from damage done Rue the day until it's overcome The less you bend the more you need to break In the valley of the gone we lie awake I'm still floating away But I can't see what's behind me I'm still floating away But I can't free what's inside me What is there to lose from no control Won't you guide me down the rabbit hole Where nothing real is ever as it seems In the place where we all chase the fantasy I'm still floating away But I can't see what's behind me I'm still floating away But I can't free what's inside me I'm still floating away But I can't be what's beyond me

Blue Euphoria (free) 04:15
Disaffected and reckless Underwhelmed by past good intensions Weightless In need of some indiscretion Blue euphoria bound Unconnected at last One more drink to see more clearly What goes around One last kiss for the afflicted As they stumble into town On the road to ruin I found you Terrified of facing the faceless unknown Between the pulse and the impulse Life becomes unbound in the midnight wasteland One more drink to see more clearly What comes around One last kiss for the afflicted As we fumble to the dawn One more drink to see more clearly What goes 'round One last kiss for the afflicted As we stumble off and on

Place I Know (free) 04:49
Wherever you go I wanna be Whatever you caged, I wanna set it free Build a fire against the cold That will never fade away, it won't grow old Wherever you hurt I wanna heal Whatever you want I want to make it real Shine a light on the unknown Give you everything you need to not be alone You remind me of a place I know You remind me of a place I know Whatever the cost you had to pay Wherever the darkness led your steps astray Time and fate we can't control But what doesn't keep us still will make us grow Whatever the path that brought you here Forgive all the pain that taught your heart to fear There's nothing you can't let go Because nothing in this world is set in stone You remind me of a place I know You remind me of a place I know

Under the Starless (free) 03:33
Come closer, oh listen I'll tell you no more than a lie Crack open Don't hide inside All the rules will melt away All who follow fall astray Gazing back into the eyes of blindness Every truth we can't abide Every hope we left behind Oh More than we know Fall further from greater heights Swim slow through quicksands of twilight Sleep under the starless night All the rules will melt away All who follow fall astray Gazing back into the eyes of blindness Every truth we can't abide Every hope we left behind There's a part we set aside Deny All the rules will melt away All who follow fall astray There's a place we try to hide Deny Every truth we can't abide Every hope we left behind There's a part we set aside More than a lie Unravelled

Over Undone (free) 05:23
Hide your voice among the crowd Inside the comfort of the drone that drowns it out You fix your gaze upon the sun And if you lose yourself you're not the only one And it's hard to believe There's a storm happening Spilling over Over And it's hard to move on When your strings come undone When you are none Now the hangman turns around To fix his gaze upon the trail that leads back home A crooked path to walk upon And if you run away you're not the only one But it's hard to believe There's a storm happening Spilling over Over And it's hard to move on When your strings come undone When you are none No one And when the circus travels on And when the way back home is hidden from the sun You will find what you've become You will find yourself apart from everyone And it's hard to believe There's a storm happening Spilling over Over And it's hard to move on When your strings come undone When you are none No one No one No one Over Undone

Slow Setting Sun (free) 03:30
Oh I've been stranded for days Since I abandoned my faith and lost my way Now that the seasons have changed I have awakened to find a world so strange And a stranger in my place Still holding on Through every slow setting sun I hope you know I never meant to do you wrong Still waters beckon again Calm as I plan my escape through rolling waves Tired as I wander away Turning my back on the one who kept me safe Suddenly yesterday Still holding on Through every slow setting sun I hope you know I never meant to do you wrong Oh What have we left? Lost our innocence Held our last breath Felt the weight that carried us Into the slow setting sun

Come Alive (free) 03:23
See the illusion revered Screens and lights Shutting off Turning on Fade to white Blending in With the real Find your place in the great pantomime Reignite In the light Come alive Deny the delusion of fear Blur the line Fade it out Make it clear Black on white Juxtaposed In the mind Show your face to the close camera Reignite In the light Come alive
9.
Letting Go (free) 06:02
All the joy and sorrow in the world Collides in waves, begins and disappears Somewhere there's a reason Or there ought to be But nothing here will remain All the dreams and doubts Are they leaving me for somebody else All I know Won't weigh me down I'm letting go All I love Won't hold me now I'm letting go Any day an answer will appear A melody will find another song Another year will find another memory Another life carries on Old familiar sound Of an unfamiliar world goin' 'round All I know Won't weigh me down I'm letting go All I love All I am now I'm letting go Aurora Still waving in my mind Aurora Still living in your light Aurora We used to burn so bright There's a shadow watching over me The open sky is listening There's a light that hides behind a dream The setting sun is beckoning All that was and what is yet to be Let it go
