I OPEN MY EYES I open my eyes to all I might find in every day of this life I'm changing my way of believing and dreaming tonight i can smile i'm glad of my time just drawing my line to possible places to be and chasing the trace of pure meaning I’m giving away my best days But you don't know how much i need this you don't know how much i care for the stars at night that shine so bright for me just to see and give up the fight
2.
GAME OF SILENCE Even though I know that words are lame Well I guess I'll try to say this anyway 'Cause when you are around me I feel great And nobody could make me feel the same We should play this game of silence everyday Keeping our breath in balance once again 'Cause with my arms around you I feel safe And the love that we have found comes down in waves Little honey is the meaning of your name The sweetest revolution's made of memories Of what has gotta be I'll try not to be conscious of everything I'll try to let the fear go away from here Well here's another present just for you For words cannot behave like hands can do Just let the feeling flow through you
3.
don't leave me alone at night sat among the trees when wind is blowing and ghosts are coming if you want to disappear let me face my fear as i don't know you're just sleeping near don't leave me alone at night waiting to be free when wolves are howling and stars are falling if you want to disappear wait another year when we'll be drowning in the sea forget the misery replace the memories erase your history embrace the mystery i can be free to be there's a treasure i can't find darkness makes me blind i'm out of my mind
4.
isolation's keeping me from seeing what's happening here I guess tomorrow I'll be gone and things will be so clear tonight I won't rest til the morning comes keep on burning until the dawn then a comfortable place in the sun today I won't rest till I'm totally done keep on burning in the sun feel the power of being as one now there's a place into the tree that is waiting just for me I'm gonna slip away in a dream find me a place to stay but please don't let me wait another day welcome sand in my body welcome sun on my skin welcome to everybody be ready to tune in
5.
ELEPHANT IN THE WATER Feel like an elephant in the water Nobody else will be coming further Feel like an alien without brothers Son of the son of an ancient mother Last night in the shadows waiting for the sun You will be the master in the days to come Feel like pretending to be another If I was you well I wouldn't bother Feel the electricity in my body If I was you I'd just make it better Why not in the meantime getting something done See you in the darkness I guess it will be fun Last night in the shadows waiting for the sun You will be the master in the days to come Find a way to live on when you've gone Shit I'd better sing another song Find a way to live on when you're done Sure I'id better sing another song

Jamelle 03:01
JAMELLE oh jamelle what happened to you though I never really knew you it's a beautiful spot for a beautiful girl jamelle jamelle in the garden where I walked in there's a stone under a dead tree it came with the rain when the horizon was black and it caught you at last now the sun surrounds you and the city's behind a beautiful spot for a beautiful girl jamelle jamelle jamelle oh jamelle what happened to you though I never really knew you well here's comes the rain and the horizon is black I will smile the same just not to make you sad a beautiful spot for a beautiful girl where i met you at last now the sun surrounds you and the city's behind i wanna know's the city's behind the city's behind… oh jamelle what have they done to you
7.
WHERE IS THE DRUMMER? oh my sweet drummer where have you gone come back in summer play me a song with those unusual chords love them all oh my sweet drummer where have you gone oh my sweet lover where have you been i lost your traces inside a dream it was so full of light but what a fight oh my sweet lover come home tonight the drummer's back now
8.
LOST CONVERSATION i never knew the sky could be so blue but nothing's gotta change my eyes are closed but i can see right through and sing my song again but you can't deny it because it's true so change this life for better i never meant to be so far from you but no one is to blame a broken dream you try to fix with glue and I should do the same but now i want to know what's it all about not only twist and shout and when we watched the moon it seemed to be there then we forgot too soon that little conversation that we had i never knew that life could be so new and nothing ever changed i close my eyes and what i see is you and you should do the same but you can't deny it because it's true so let the song sound better and when we changed the world it seemed to be real but we forgot the words and lost the conversation that we had
9.
TIME MACHINE This place's full of memories Of whatever should have been If I had a time machine I would change everything But I can't go back I can't go back then So leave those things the way they've been What did matter were your dreams If you had a time machine but you've not so let it be

Fish Funk 07:58
My eyes can't see what is lost in the deep mysterious shadows swirling around towering sea trees swaying in the underwater breeze my conscience believes that my eyes will deceive and and avoids in fear any fish that may appear but what harm can they mean though their eyes do so gleam flashing and splashing things in the glimmer of the moon beams intercepting with a translucent gleam my conscience made unrest that my eyes may weep salty tears in the blue water deep before me unfolds a scene to most unknown the fish dance to a rhythm undertow which sags in my bones the water flows into my lungs the bubbles rise in bursts of sound into my bowels it has sunk this faithfully frothing fish funk This is fish funk it's filling our lungs this is fish funk we're drowning in love
11.
Ask For More 03:58
ASK FOR MORE I should have learnt to love you I should have learnt to understand until I came to recognize that you were a friend and in that day i asked for more there is something that you should know all that we are is overcome by the illusion we've built around us you think there's something above you that you will never understand until the day you recognize the world's in your hands and in that day you ask for more there is something that you should know all that we are is overcome by the illusion of the universal still you're hoping that someone won't close that door you might find that it won't be a long way to go
