All Good 04:15
I've got a little thing to tell you And I know all too well what you'll say Same shit a different year, and I'll say All good it's alright, All good it's outta sight All good it's alright All good it's outta sight I know your venom tough, it makes me Crazy by early lunch, it's hazy But I still think I know the difference All good it's alright, all good it's outta sight All good it's alright, all good it's outta sight It's all good, it's all good, knock on wood (x4) What do they want with me, it's sleazy Can't make a fool of me, not so easy I think I know a trap when I see one All good it's alright, all good it's outta sight All good it's alright, all good it's outta sight It's all good, it's all good, knock on wood (x4)

Tired Eyes 04:32
Bring me reason, bring me rhyme Give me one more sign, crude or divine Tell me softly, tell me quick How long till midnight for the clock to tick (Chorus) Tired Eyes Born to weep So discreet Feel incomplete Writhe and shake No mistake Too irate (it`s so) Hard to concentrate Losing ground in this pale riptide Slip and strain in ardent battle strides Time to bury our own sickly pride Time for sea change - unite or divide (Chorus) Curse the cold hands that brought this luck Nature bought and sold only for a buck Crafty fingers violate All we hold dear set to terminate (Chorus)

Four Sisters 03:24
In spring I spied a maiden on white horse and clad in green I called to her and asked her if she might be our queen `Only for a day`, she cried, `till night time I play But heed my three sisters when they come round here to stay` I came across a sister, donned and decked in crimson fire She waved her arms about the land and built her vaulted pyre `Watch your wicked step``, she cried, `I trade an eye for eye` And with inferno crashing I could only wonder why I came across a sister, black robed with scythe in hand She hacked away the charred remains of her sibling wasted lands `The leaves in the trees`, I cried, `survive with different hue` She told me, `not the leaves you see but candles sprung anew` I found the final sister draped in robes of cloudy white The snow danced a crooked waltz in the pale and ghostly light `Thank my luck fair sister, your children still remain!` `Not my children`, she replied, `but ashes of the slain`

Like with like to fight the fear Fire with fire until all clear Drink the dark to banish tears Venom drenched for a better year I don't sleep, i just creep, Back and forth in nightmare deep I don't sleep, I just fit Between the sheets of a dark deceit I don't sleep, I just fall Down the drain of a vacuum hall I don't sleep, I repeat that Incandescent drone It's all too late, all too late All too late, kindly check the date All too late, all too late Sitting prostrate, all too late

Some wind chimes called my name today almost broke firm resolve They calmly chirped the riddle that I had yet solve Of how the wind be free to roam down any forest hall And how a generation trapped be free to forget it all But we've know ten thousand years A plague, a famine, flood, the wars and all the tears Fumbled through the dark before we knew the word But we keep on But we keep on But we keep on Fallin' Forward A sprightly robin raced me by as I stumbled back alone And a song so true that kings of old would pay to scribe in stone But all those kings could never know the glory of a feather When plague has jailed a thousand thrones but a bird be free as ever But we've know ten thousand years A plague, a famine, flood, the wars and all the tears Fumbled through the dark before we knew the word But we keep on But we keep on But we keep on Fallin' Forward

about

“To get back up to the shining world from there
My guide and I went into that hidden tunnel,

And Following its path, we took no care
To rest, but climbed: he first, then I-so far,
through a round aperture I saw appear

Some of the beautiful things that Heaven bears,
Where we came forth, and once more saw the stars.”
― Dante Alighieri, Inferno
