LYRICS - People After Dark

The Songs:

   

Air so thin

Girl behind the door

Darkest hole

While We Ponder

Volcanic

 

 

Air so thin

Ever wonder what it means
"Not see the forest for the trees"?
Know everyone from 6 degrees in a way?
How everyone does interlace?
How everything's a mental state?
One of these days we'll each find our own way.

And when you find it you'll see that you don't mind it
When things don't fall exactly into place
And when you find it, nevermind divine it
You'll hear things call to you in their own way

Seek a life that's duty-free?
Just keep your mind from listening
To other voices trapped inside your brain
It's your beliefs that keep you trained
"Starve yourself for lest we gain"
Till barely pieces of ourselves remain

And when you find it you'll see that you don't mind it
When things don't fall exactly into place
And when you find it, nevermind divine it
You'll hear things call to you in their own way

Ever wonder what it means
For a fish inside a stream?
Not know what water is or that you swim
Upon your landing in this space
A gentle calm and inner-place
Been here before and senses to regain  

And when you find it you'll see that you don't mind it
When things don't fall exactly into place
And when you find it, nevermind divine it
You'll hear things call to you in their own way

 

Girl behind the door

Awake; you've come so far to protect your own (flesh and blood you've lost)
You wait; you won't give up until you've found the man who took it all
It's late- found all but one; the job's not done until they're all gone
You could try to forgive so you could live in peace- but then there'd be no revenge!

And when you find them
They'll have to know
That they will give their lives
For taking away yours
And when you've taken
Back your soul
You'll find a little girl
Waiting behind the door

In time you'll roam the earth and find them all and show them what they're worth
Alone you can do anything and this means you'll find them in your dreams

And when you find them
They'll have to know
That they will give their lives
For taking away yours
And when you've taken
Back your soul
You'll find a little girl
Waiting behind the door
 
You've found the man you've sought and you had thought this would cure your woes
Instead you're more confused because now you've lost the one thing that kept you through
To seek is also to find the piece of mind- of which you have none to lose
He's dead; your baby's back with you and finally you can get some rest

And now you've found them
And they'll always know
That they gave their lives
For taking away yours
And now you've taken
Back your soul
You have a little girl
Waiting behind the door

Darkest hole

Face too slow, head hangs low
Don't you ever try to move your soul inside of you were fears do grow?

Faith will glow when you show
Your inner core to the world- they will not go

In your mind there's nothing you could give
What you must realize: it's what you need to live
There's something else you've forgotten how to use
The deepest darkest hole inside of you

You'll take your turn when you learn
To feel your soul and to let go
The feelings deep inside could be the only seed
The source for the creation expression that you need
You'll find a place of solace, and deeply how to breathe
When you finally discover this your time will come to leave

And don't you know how time does blow away too fast?
Give all you hold.

In your mind there's nothing you could give
What you must realize: it's what you need to live
Something inside will tell you what to do
The deepest darkest hole inside of you

While We Ponder

In dreams I've wandered earth so lonely
In search of you, I wonder why?
It seems that while we ponder slowly
One day we'll make it if we try

It's these surroundings that move me
It's you that makes me want to fly
But your derision traps me and divides me
This truth is hard to reconcile

If it's dreams that you have chosen
Then what's the use in trying to fly?
These visions around us unfolding
Should quell the urge to run and hide

The world around us may crumble
And our souls will wonder what to do
What may appear as second nature
May be what brings me close to you

If it means that in living life I'll lose you
I'd rather not don't want to recognize
This reality seems only confusing
This world I've made becomes a lie

If you would promise that you'd follow
This dream I'd gladly be with you
My indecision can only serve to guide you
It's this division that you choose

Volcanic

Walk to edge of fate
Start to contemplate
What it means to excavate
The ghost within and fears abate

Feels hard to extricate
What holds you down- molten mind state
Realize and cast aside this weight
Reveal your truth- it's not to late to

Conjure all you wield
Exploding all distrust and fear
Blow it up into the sky
Feel your soul break free to fly
Watch your world become renewed
Once your mind is unconfused
Nevermind the olden days
Only pure creation stays

Now the times come to detonate
Breathing time bomb voices that you hate
Become one with sounds innate
befall the words that permeate your mind

Your divine inspiration waits for no one
Annhilate mental delusion  
in your way
the path before you it's time to take it

Conjure all you wield
Exploding all distrust and fear
Blow it up into the sky
Feel your soul break free to fly
Watch your world become renewed
Once your mind is unconfused
Nevermind the olden days
Only pure creation stays
