Learning To Run
04:49
|

|
i haven't been allowed to run in so long
it was hard
i felt like a child again
it was exhilarating
i ran home to my guitar
i ran home to my cave

Walk Through Walls
07:50
|

|
i had a dream
i could do anything
except walk through walls
i flew
i created planets
i built a home
i traveled the world
i began to despise walls
i erased all of the walls
everything was so free
i could breathe
at night, though i was a god
i feared for my safety
i built a small room with four walls and no roof
that night i laid and watched the stars
it was immense
i built a roof
i was at peace
i tried to build a door
i tried to break the walls
i tried to dig
all of my powers were gone
i sat in the room crying
i got up and walked to a wall
i tried to push it
my hand went through
i woke up

Fading Memories
05:12
|
|||
|
i can't remember my childhood
did i really have one
did i learn anything
how old was i
how old am i
why isn't the light turning on
what is this bright object in my room
why is this room so empty
whose room am i in
why is there always a guitar here
who left this guitar for me
who am i to get a guitar
who am i

i took a walk down the street
the people are strange
the cars are loud
the buildings are bright
how far from my house am i
i've never seen these stores before
what language is this
the streets are so narrow
i'm back in my room
did i walk back
did someone find me
did i go for a walk

The Sparrow
05:41
|
|||
|
a bird perched itself out my window
it looked all around
it looked at me
we stared for awhile
staring at a bird in its cage
could it learn a few words
maybe if i tilt my head....
i have food to find
it flew away from me

The Green Mile
09:40
|
|||
|
i want to go back
it was safe
i can't go back
it was oppressive

Thing That Scares You
08:50
|
|||
|
i had a nightmare last night
i havent been scared in years
i was in the institution
i was walking through the yard
i saw all of my old friends
i saw all of the doctors
i was just visiting them all
a few hours went by
i began to leave
the doctor grabbed my arm
he told me to take my medicine
i told him i was just a visitor
he called over the orderlies
i woke up in the room
all the walls were blank
i banged on the door to get their attention
finally one man came by
he opened up the door
he gave me a shot
i woke up
i hadn't been scared in years

i want to be in a diferent place
i dont know where
i dont know how to get there
i cant see it when i close my eyes anymore
what happened to it
am i there now

Still Beyond The Knowing
10:25
|
|||
|
i listened to a new song today
i hadn't heard him since before i left
it was so beautiful
i listened to it over and over
i learned it
it makes me feel at peace
sometimes it plays in my dreams
sometimes i play it outside
