1.	A Different Place (free) 06:24	lyrics	download
Never seen things from here before, as many times as I've come in Briefly traded reins for rains, gone and back again The light seems a little different here from this side of the room And the only clouds now are those of the monsoons Be not mistaken, and heed not at first chance The offered words of the others who attribute circumstance Call me reluctant, or hesitant at best I hate to tread lightly, but the past may well attest though I hoped that I'd be using the past tense by now and though I hoped that I could disavow, the day has to come... it has to come... In a different place In a different place Must be a different place Needing to know that that which has nourished is not merely apparition For as the puddle ahead does vanish, so can the drive within Need to believe in a light in the attic or a chance of potential godsend If only bestowed a fleeting glimpse of faint flicker at the corridor's end In a different place In a different place Must be a different place Show me a different place Show me a different place
2.	Airport Departure (free) 05:23	lyrics	download
Invested into you The we has taken on new Ergo the lump in my throat This airport departure To hold your gaze one last time To preserve you in mind Or press your body to me As does the lead-weight break (...and the thought does sadden me- how little time it takes for the transition of mentality...) And now the hurry to wait at the isolated gate She returns home for sad sleep I stare out my window seat Still I can hold to thee Thine image calling me I can exhale and let go In the strength and I can know
3.	The Humorous Nature of Tornados (free) 03:08	lyrics	download
Traveling down a road of THE STRANGER sort spinning the spindles of preoccupation circle elusive of destination Living scenes- the polar extremes and all of what lies in between tornado spiral view from the middle frivolous fury spins all around you It won't do you any good When the day is done, I am still here just the same method to madness? no rhyme or reason fishbowl example of the bigger picture It won't do you any good
4.	Dark Night (free) 06:10	lyrics	download
Lost catacombs make up my garden like those who walked before me Is it out of the hands that labored and left to the tethered sea? Toll booths and circus acts still lie before thee Duct taped ringleader knows no better and resorts to the powers that be Would it mean much to reconsider why? Would it mean much to take on the storm of the eye? something's got to give, something's got to give Wise madness or foolish sanity? Trust in here, this dark garden- that no way to the better there be Would it mean much to reconsider why? Would it behoove you to take on the storm of the eye? something's got to give, something's got to give
5.	Drone (free) 05:53	lyrics	download
It's easy to get caught up in the flakes of irrelevance But if I lost you I would have lost it all And that to which it's so easy to cling to be exposed as meaningless But if I lost you I would have lost it all But if I lost you I would have lost it all
6.	Real Blues (free) 04:47	lyrics	download
I ain't got no money ........and it's a bitch Can't see behind because the mirror fell off And I can't see ahead because of the broken glass One more morning in the parking lot Where I'm not distracted from reality I ain't got no money ........and it's a bitch Damn this if this is an awakening Gridlock surrendering of the dream Don't quote me saying that it's all about the green But I've been around long enough to know what's real
