Dare (Unplugged) 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Now I feel the forceful wind That blows against my will Pushing me to recline I am greeted by the pain Drops of acid rain Urging me to resign I’ve left myself behind The metal and the grind I couldn’t fight my mind And as I try to find Compassion in their eyes I realize they’re blind And the more I stare In your eyes, I dare To withstand the pain And the light we share In our hearts, I swear, Will shine throughout the day Their hearts with stones within Come from another kin I never fathomed why Ears with built-in walls Won’t hear the urgent calls I’m lost for words and signs But the wind will hug the day And sweep it all away Leaving them behind And the more I stare In your eyes, I dare To withstand the pain And the light we share In our hearts, I swear, Will shine throughout the day And the more I stare In your eyes, I dare To withstand the pain And the light we share In our hearts, I swear, Will lead us all the way

From the Ash (Unplugged) 03:43
lyrics

I find the truth in all those moments when I’m home My home of lights and hues of dawn I feel my wings expanding and I start to soar Toward the heavens, way up above I would have died but fate had decided Hell had to wait for when I’m done I had to try just one more time Rise from the ash and bring them home My feathers ruffle from the burning wicked air That greets me with a searing sound Inside me rages violent torment and despair Below me lay the mortal grounds So many gods I never thought I’d see go down the rabbit hole Deep in the ocean, out in the open Pain still grips the living souls We can be more We can be whole I know we can be all we want I was ablaze and I was amazed To see the flames from high above I would have died but fate had decided Hell had to wait for when I’m done I will be coming over and over Lighting every single soul I have to try just one more time Rise from the ash and bring them home

Hear Me out (Unplugged) 03:30
lyrics

I can tell that I am destined Where peace and rest can never dwell Understand the ancient wisdom Hope never comes that comes to all I suppose there is a question You can pose to make your point What’s it like to be a jester Hailed and famed but all alone? Now, hear me out, calm me down I can use a moment to confide Now, let me in, help me out I just need to lay down for a while Well, I’m tired of being abandoned Every time I lose my way Fear the demons of tomorrow Feeding off of yesterday Sunny beaches let me ponder Sunset lays its golden rays And I throw another bottle With my message at the waves Now, hear me out, calm me down I can use a moment to confide Now, let me in, help me out I just need to lay down for a while Now, hear me out, calm me down I can use a moment to confide Now, let me in, help me out I just need to lay down for a while Now, hear me out, calm me down I can use a moment to confide Now, let me in, help me out I just need to lay down for a while

One Good Reason (Unplugged) 03:55
lyrics

Give me just one good reason Why I should fold and concede Give me a single reason Why I should give up the dream Just need a one-time offer Before the game is over All of my chips have fallen Seeking the lucky number Need a helping hand Need a real friend I can lean on Time and time again I would lose my way as I hang on Give me a moment longer Help me decipher what’s real Tell me if I should ponder If there’s such thing as ideal Just need a one-time offer Before the game is over All of my chips have fallen Seeking the lucky number Need a helping hand Need a real friend I can lean on Time and time again I would lose my way as I hang on Need a higher ground To reveal the bounds of disillusion Need to figure out How to go around the vast confusion Give me just one good reason Why I should count the seasons Give me a single reason Why I shouldn’t I call this prison Need a helping hand Need a real friend I can lean on Time and time again I would lose my way as I hang on Need a higher ground To reveal the bounds of disillusion Need to figure out How to get around this grand confusion

Beetle on My Thumb (Unplugged) 04:32
lyrics

The more I feel the more I know About the things that make me glow A lesson here, a story there Create a world that I can share I bless the life that gives me choice In all the moments I can voice From all the joy and all the strain Stories end up here to stay One by one I write them down One by one they spin around One by one they make me hum Like a beetle on my thumb One by one they settle down One by one they have me frown One by one they make me numb Like a beetle on my thumb Fleeting bits of sound and light Are tattooed on my mind Pretty rhymes are sung along Pouring life into a song Notions of the past and fate Set the tone for big debates About the wrong, about the sane And all the efforts not in vein On and on they photograph On and on they paragraph On and on they make me jump Like a beetle on my thumb On and on they give me peace On and on they make me freeze On and on they beat the drum Like a beetle on my thumb One by one they set me free One by one they let me be One by one they leave me dumb Like a beetle on my thumb One by one they epitaph One by one they telegraph One by one they focus on The beetle on my thumb

In My PJs I’m the DJ (Unplugged) 04:08
lyrics

Carving on the wall My head is on the floor Crystal chandelier Sticking from the ground Paintings upside down Carpets all around Gravity's pulling me Up to the clouds Thinking makes me sick The coffee is too weak Words are twirling Swirling, steering They give me the aches They colour my mind all the time In my PJs I'm the DJ In my PJs I'm the DJ I haven't much to say I've nothing to declare I don't have a gun I am not aware Innocence I seek The one I lost behind Couldn't tell you where Or when, or why I just want it back I'll trade for what I've got I just want to care I don't want to stop Take me back in time When all was clear as a day light In my PJs I'm the DJ In my PJs I'm the DJ Am I getting through? Have you got a clue What I’m on about? Do I make you doubt? Sure, it is my plan Turn it upside down Monkey with your brain Take you back in time Make you see the day When you ran away Just because the simple Things were hard to say Clear up your mind And come with me for the joyride In my PJs I'm the DJ In my PJs I'm the DJ In my PJs I'm the DJ In my PJs I'm the DJ

In The Palm of My Hand (Unplugged) 03:37
lyrics

This time I can tell There’s no way I’m going back I traveled the miles and counted the stars Stayed true to my path I searched high and low Left no single stone unturned I wrestled the waves and sang to the whales Never seized to yearn Let me show you my home Let me open the gate to my estate Let me show you my dome It is all in the palm of my hand I remember the Why Every time I ask for more And never forget the moment I left As I shut the door I searched high and low For the message to return Never gave up, never conformed Was always keen to learn Let me show you my home Let me open the gate to my estate Let me show you my dome It is all in the palm of my hand Let me show you my home Let me open the gate to my estate Let me show you my dome It is all in the palm of my hand This time I can tell There is no way I can fall I balanced my way and found what it takes To have and to hold I searched high and low For the answers meant for me I talked to the rain and I prayed to the sun Down on my knees Let me show you my home Let me open the gate to my estate Let me show you my dome It is all in the palm of my hand Let me show you my home Let me open the gate to my estate Let me show you my dome It is all in the palm of my hand

Bouquet of Sun Rays 04:11
lyrics

Season of emotions Dwells upon my face Feeling of devotion Settles into place Anger and confusion Form decisive waves Duty for inclusion Tries to overtake Sun rays beam In my dreams While rain falls Upon me fiercely Battles for conclusion Constant in my mind Violent intrusions Rattle rationale Dark and stormy weather Raging in my heart Optimistic matter Rising from the dust Sun rays beam In my dreams While rain falls Upon me fiercely Sun rays beam In my dreams While rain falls Upon me callously

Rain on Me (Unplugged) 03:09

Rain on me I'm drying out, oh can't you see? Water me Before I wilt and go to seed Come on rain on me Just pour it all at once Come on rain on me Strike like thunder over me In the sand No shade to shelter me Have no plan I'm waiting for you desperately Come on rain on me Just pour it all at once Come on rain on me Strike like thunder over me Come on rain on me I'm ready for all you've got Come help me be All that I have ever dreamed of And now you're picking up the pieces As if I am shattered glass You turn your back and blow me kisses Like I'm from the past Rain on me I'm drying out, oh can't you see? Water me Before I wilt and go to seed Come on rain on me Come on rain on me Come on rain on me

Promise (Unplugged) 03:42
lyrics

We set to write a graceful story With happy ending, pretty rhymes Just like they do it in the movies So, we can read it many times But words do penetrate like arrows Tearing flesh and breaking hearts Leaving wounds to bleed for hours After all is said and done You said your peace I made my promise Now we know what we got to do Now we know what we got to do I said my peace You made your promise Now we know what we have to do Now we know what we have to do We will never force or pressure Or let conditions be the norm Staying true is mighty precious Forget the power to conform It is purpose that we follow Seeking meaning in this world Navigate within the hollow And come on top to find the love You said your peace I made my promise Now we know what we got to do Now we know what we got to do I said my peace You made your promise Now we know what we have to do Now we know what we have to do You said your peace I made my promise Now we know what we got to do Now we know what we got to do I said my peace You made your promise Now we know what we have to do Now we know what we have to do

A Lesson (Unplugged) 03:04
lyrics

Yes, it was a lesson One I won’t forget Every time I think it’s time to quit Yes, it was a lesson One I won’t regret Having learned the hard way, I admit I open the curtains To invite the morning sunshine To gaze at the rooftops far and wide I know it is certain We’ll meet again at the cross line And finish the chapter left behind Yes, it was a lesson One I won’t forget Every time I think it’s time to quit Yes, it was a lesson One I won’t regret Having learned the hard way, I admit A light in the doorway From a bulb strung from the ceiling A silhouette of a dismal man Looms in the distance Like a ghost eager to take hold And manage to pull you by the hand Yes, it was a lesson One I won’t forget Every time I think it’s time to quit Yes, it was a lesson One I won’t regret Having learned the hard way, I admit Yes, it was a lesson One I won’t forget Every time I fold and go to bed Yes, it was a lesson One I won’t regret Having learned the hard way, as I said

Reluctant Jesus 03:33
lyrics

I lost my way again last Tuesday… It’s the fourth time in as many weeks These long days sure got me bluesy They blur the very thing I seek I see Judas linger in the corner With this weird look in his eye As the Roman pleads for order Is today my day to die? I’m searching hard for peace within us all Feeling like a reluctant Jesus And as I hit my head against the wall I feel there’s never enough to please us But you know they can’t kill my voice So I’ll speak loud and use the thunder Tell them all that I was the one Tell them all about their blunder I’m searching hard for peace within us all Feeling like a reluctant Jesus And as I hit my head against the wall I feel there’s never enough to please us I’m searching hard for peace within us all Feeling like a reluctant Jesus And as I hit my head against the wall I feel there’s never enough to please us He’s not supposed to save me anyhow I feel as though I’ve been forsaken This sacrifice I make for them all My only hope’s their souls awaken I’m searching hard for peace within us all Feeling like a reluctant Jesus And as I hit my head against the wall I feel there’s never enough to please us I’m searching hard for peace within us all Feeling like a reluctant Jesus And as I hit my head against the wall I feel there’s never enough to please us
