I’m alive Or maybe it’s ‘cos I know I’m sleeping Where am I now? All I know is that it’s happening Overtime In the land of dreams, I found refuge To survive and make the realistic world worth living in Why do I need a reason to make this world worth living in? The waking hour Sneaked a peek outside the window The radiant trees and flowers caught the side of my eye and I wondered Whatever happened to yesterday? To smell the roses along the way Is that cliché? Whatever happened to yesterday? What does it take to appreciate a beautiful day? If it’s more than you think you can handle If it feels like nothing’s going right Beyond a shadow of a doubt If the more you think, the more you suffer Then it’s time to reach out Someone will pick you up, just don’t give up Something will pick you up, just don’t give up And when the time comes, pay it forward And when that time comes, you’ll have your own beautiful day

It was lost It was found The first night The ground shook around midnight Step out of the shadows Something Nothing at all Everything Breathing Breathless It’s so near, yet so far away Step out of the shadows It’s getting quiet It’s so loud A baby rocket flying underground Get away from here Stay right here Stay here
3.
A blast from the past A taste of the future A gift from the present Few and far between are tangerine dreams Making love to the moment The hands of time moved from left to right Spinning around 5 days a week of hide and seek 8 hours or more a day It starts the same It ends in different ways It’s just a matter of time Don’t let the noise from the outside Drown out your voice from the inside The waves and vibrations
4.
So, uhm, it’s been a while since the last time I heard you were away in a place where it shines day and night Moving along… I see you didn’t bring your suitcase of misery If only I could find a way to be in two places at the same time I would not hesitate and do this ride for another last time Oh, by the way, I forgot to say That I almost forgot how to feel this way I wrote a song It’s summer with rain I love when it rains on my parade I sang along using words not from my suitcase of misery Buried in memory Suitcase of misery

Lady Luck 04:35
I wished upon a falling star Can you take me to somewhere that’s far away from here I’d just like to temporarily forget what was never meant to be I’ve been wondering, do wishes come true? Will the time ever come when I forget about you? It’s all up to you, if you want something to come true The past we can’t undo, but we can choose not to redo Now, this is the part where things get so tricky That thin line between ugly and pretty Is there a way to know if the grass gets greener the second time around? I’ve got lots to show from past behavior that leaves me in a cloud of doubt Is there a silver lining on a cloud of doubt? It’s the morning after With coffee and cream and brown sugar all over my sleepy mind That still ponders on pressing forward or rewind Overthinker take a breather Press the pause button and just do you Now, this is the part where things get so trippy When things go right and we think it’s ‘cos we’re lucky Way to go! Pat yourself on the back for a job well done. You’ve got ways to go, but it’s a good start moving on from the cloud of doubt There is a silver lining on a cloud of doubt Lady luck is manufactured by you

Silver Haze 04:37
It’s another sunny day in April The sweltering afternoon heat is making me fragile I walked outside beaming with pride And then suddenly I was whisked away Where are you taking me? I asked I got no reply, but heck, at least I’m flying away with you I don’t know why it’s always around this time I feel much more alive There is love There is hate Lots of sadness sprinkled with fate I’m in your embrace Your silver haze I’m flying away with you Rise and shine Tomorrow has arrived Without the dark The light won’t be as bright
7.
A drop of rain in a desert where I sought pleasure and pain All those years that bought extra time for change Endure and survive Ensure arrival Proving yourself to others is fuel for ego Proving something to yourself is fuel for the soul Climbing a mountain of mixed emotions Swimming in a sea of thoughts You don’t drown by falling in the water But by overstaying your welcome If it makes it easier You can always chew before you swallow your pride
8.
Homesick 04:42
A photograph of fire bathing in the rain Birds chirping in the morning Singing to the sky Slow breeze carrying thoughts of comfort Whispering monologues The waves lapped up against the shore softly It’s a miracle A magical mystery A strange phenomenon Like vision 20/20 I see you Home is where the heart is I feel at home in your heart Everything is unravelling The line on the horizon is painting a scene Everything is as it should be
9.
Sugar Quote 04:21
Why do we always look for what’s not there? Where do we draw the line? How do we know if there’s anybody out there Who’s as true as they say when you’re away? In an ideal world, we see people without a mask on With pure intentions Without ulterior motives I’m not talking about a perfect world That would be so boring But if to agree to disagree is already impossible, then how do we move on? If all your dreams come true Would you still go far for the truth? Or would you just be happy with never really knowing? You say your prayers were answered, and you let it be known But would you still give glory, if things don’t go your way Are the senses working overtime? Which one is yours? Which one is mine? There will always be a great divide And in between is the road less traveled
10.
Not in another place Not for another hour Longing to embrace here and now It’s not just another phase It’s now or never It’s a neverending race for what truly matters Oh, wonderful one, where have you gone? I thought you’d stay for a day What lies beyond is puzzling me When I mess up I feel closer to you Everything all at once As opposed to nothing Stay awake Don’t miss out Get some sleep Don’t freak out
