Chasing Ghosts
05:23

I’ve been, out chasing ghosts
but I can’t seem, to get close
Every time, I think I might crack
The Earth comes and pulls me back
Oleander blanco poison
Amarillo belt of choisen
Elegido looking for the answer
Worries - we all got our share
Money - never gonna take you there
When you’re walking through the fire and smoke
All that time, spent chasing ghosts
Oleander blanco poison
Amarillo belt of choisen
Elegido looking for the answer
Running as fast as we can
Praying there’s some kind of plan
Searching for what we can’t hold
We are all chasing ghosts
Oleander blanco poison
Amarillo belt of choisen
Elegido looking for the answer

In the Dark
05:18
|
|||
|
You’re all alone in the dark/
just wondering what it is you should do
fingers running over the scar/
thinking bout the person who burnt you
holding onto it and it’s holding on to you/
looking up and down for the light.
all alone in the dark,
thinking bout the person who burnt you
Driving home in your car/
running it all back in your mind
just another night at the bar/
yeah you’re keeping it together between the lines
you’re holding on to it/
its holding onto you/
looking all around for the light
Driving home in your car/
keeping it together between the lines
and you know it's time to move on/
but you really don’t want to let it go
it wasn’t you who did wrong/
and living in the past is all you know
How long, how long/ Can it go on
Living alone in this paradise/
Reflection of a screen is the only light.
Running from the dream of another time/life
Never coming down Never coming down
Open up the door take a look outside/
listen to the wind let it clear your mind
maybe something real can come inside
People all around people all around you

Telescope
05:23
|
|||
|
I’ve been peering through a telescope
looking at the world up close
but never opening up both eyes
I didn’t wanna let it in
but the darkness always wins
when the memory rules my mind
If you’ve lost somebody
you know what it’s like
Don’t really wanna talk about it
just trying to spend the night without it
just need something to close your eyes
But every time the/that sun comes up
you’re looking at a picture of
what used to be your life
If you’ve lost somebody
you know what it’s like
staring at the enemy mmm
he looks a lot like me
If I’m ever gonna win the fight
the only way is open hearted
turn and face the world unguarded
And give it another try
If you’ve lost somebody
you know what it’s like

Cross That Line
06:50
|
|||
|
You were searching for an open mind
Then it shifted into overdrive
Now you do it every night
And all we ever do is fight
You never needed their advice
Didn’t wanna take a look inside
Tell us that your doing fine
But you’re running from the morning light
Oh baby/ I know where you are
Can’t turn around/ ‘cuz you gone too far
You’re running on empty/ out on the street
Living in a fantasy
Was it really an accident
When you fell off the edge
As it was happening
Did you have regrets
About the ones you had left behind
As you drifted beyond
Was it really accident
I can’t believe you’re gone

Wake Up
04:44
|
|||
|
One day you’re gonna wake up/ with something else on your mind
You’ll open your eyes understanding/ all that you needed was time
Nothing lasts forever/ though it seems you always break the rule
You gave it your heart, right from the start/ now you’re playing the fool.
Oh a oh/ you can’t let go/ it's all around you
You can let go/now that its found you
You can’t let go
The beginning was so perfect, it took away all the fear
(But it) chased from your mind all that was kind/ whispering into your ear
A little bit will make it alright/bring back the color(s) and the sound
Keeping your nerves at a standstill/ then bury them into the ground
Oh a oh/ you can’t let go/ it's all around you
You can let go/now that it's found you
When you know/ nothing is perfect
(Last chorus) you can’t let go
The change took a while to surface. now it’s written all over your face
The look in your eyes, we all recognize no longer “floating in space”
When the day came to reach your hand out, somebody picked up the call
Exit the haze, find better days, you’re not the first one to fall
Oh a oh/ you can’t let go/ it's all around you
You can let go/now that it's found you
When you know nothing is perfect.
You can’t let go, can’t let go, can’t let go.

The Curtain
05:19
|

Show me the world that you run to to be all alone.
Take me away from the nightmares that live in my phone
I need to escape from the voices they’re crossing the line.
Teach me to sing and to dance and to have a good time
Erase and replace all the memories corrupting my mind
Lend me your map and I promise i’ll follow the signs
Come with me lay with me stay with me swallow the pill
Escape to the place where we curl up and tear up our will.
I won’t take it for granted
The Eagle had landed
When I pull back the curtain
All I wanna do is come back home
Look into the fire with you both in my arms
Nothing they can do will ever change my mind
All I wanna do is come back home
Right when I wake up you look up and give me a smile
A feeling I know from a memory of being a child
Comes up from below and takes hold like a spirit in the night
Maybe I’m dreaming but you tell me it’ll all be alright.
All I wanna do is come back home
Look into the fire with you both in my arms
Nothing they can do will ever change my mind
All I wanna do is come back home

People of the Earth
05:04

I met a man who flew on a spaceship
He took a trip right out of this world
Floating all around and checking out the sound
Thinking bout the sum of it all.
First he took a left towards Jupiter
Next he headed right for Mars
He turned around and looked back down
And opened up his spaceman arms
Are we from?
North America
South Africa
Saudi Arabia
Or People Of The Earth That All Belong
Are we from?
West India
Colombia
Polynesia
Or People Of The Earth That All Belong
Deep in space he sat and wondered
About left and right and man made walls
Keeping us apart from each other
Dividing what unites us all
A girl in China laughs at the TV
A child in Russia cries for his mom
A man from Poland prays for the future
Everyone just trying to live on.
Are we from?
North America
South Africa
Saudi Arabia
Or People Of The Earth That All Belong
Are we from?
West India
Colombia
Polynesia
Or People Of The Earth That All Belong
When he came back down to earth the next month
Everything was just the same
Politicians talking bout the borderlines
Nothing in their hearts had changed
Doing what they’re told by the rich folks
Who make their money using the poor
Why can’t we ever get it together.
Take what you need and not any more
Are we from?
North America South Africa
Saudi Arabia
Or People Of The Earth That All Belong
Are we from?
West India
Colombia
Polynesia
Or People Of The Earth That All Belong
Are we from?
Mongolia
Nigeria
Tasmania
Or People Of The Earth That All Belong
Are we from?
Romania
Ethiopia
Macedonia
Or People Of The Earth That All Belong

Water
05:00
|

|
I’ll be the water/ You be the rain.
Into the ocean/ it’s all the same.
Up to the mountain side/ back down into the drain.
We are the water/ We are the rain.
You are the fire/I am the flame.
Come from the sunshine/ and back again.
Look at the night sky/ is it sparkling in vain?
We are the fire/We are the flame.
One bird is singing on a telephone wire.
Soon all the voices joining into the choir.
We come together push it higher and higher…
FIRE!!! give us energy
MOTHER!!! Earth under me
WATER!!! wash over me
Who is the mother/we are the child.
Spinning in circles/ into to be wild.
Living in motion/ what a dream to be alive.
Who is the mother/we are the child.
One bird is singing on the telephone wire.
Soon all the voices joining into the choir.
We come together push it higher and higher…
FIRE!!! give us energy
MOTHER!!! Earth under me
WATER!!! wash over me
Maybe the reason we’re scared of the dark
In the beginning we came from a spark
We Follow the light to the end of the road
Searching for answers we’re not supposed to know.
Floating above we look back at it all
Hoping that something will answer our call
One bird is singing on the telephone wire.
Soon all the voices joining into the choir.
We come together push it higher and higher…
FIRE!!! give us energy
MOTHER!!!
Earth under me
WATER!!! wash over me

Children are the revolution
I know that their aim is true
I know because their light shines through
Money and the politician
Oh no they won’t tell the truth
Oh no they’re never going to
Looking down the road behind us
Learning from mistakes before
We should always take the path of kindness
Because we know, love shines through it all
Love shines through it all
Children are the revolution
Keep on, and tell the truth
Keep on, or no one’s going to
Push against the institution
Come on see those changes through.
Come on, yeah we need you to.
Looking down the road behind us
Learning from mistakes before
We should always take the path of kindness
Because we know, love shines through it all
Love shines through it all (repeat)
