Ship on the Horizon
Ship on the Horizon
Inka binka ball of
Ink is in the water
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon
Cause here on the island
It’s cold and it’s violent
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon
The children they say it
In their rhyme games they play it
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon
Mother nature’s got the ocean
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion
To splash in the rain
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water
Tsunami is brewing
It could be our ruin
Don’t let it sink that ship on the horizon
Look up in the sky now
Children learn to fly now
You can up and fly right off this island
Inka binka ball of ink is in the water
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon
Mother nature’s got the ocean
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion
To splash in the rain
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water
Inka binka ball of ink is in the water
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Wandering Squandering
Wandering squandering dreams on a
Journey that more and more seems like an
Endless waste of my time
I think it's time to unwind
Wandering squandering years they've
Gone and they all disappeared hey
How many more did we have?
No one can turn the hands back
Guess I expected to be in control
Sure you were shocked to see me on the floor
Wandering squandering tears it's
Not at all as it appears
You've got me tied in a knot
But I am not giving you up
Guess I expected to be in control
Sure you were shocked to see me on the floor

Forest Giants
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Hey loner
Come over
To my forest
It's getting warmer
Stay hidden
Forbidden
It's written on the wind
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

The World Won't Let Me Believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world
I want to believe that people they've got you
They'll do the right thing when nobody's watching
I want to believe we write our own story
That some day some way we're heading for glory
But the world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world
I want to believe there's nothing to fear
That the monsters are all in the rear-view mirror
I want to believe some day we'll be proud of
Our narrow escape from this trap we got out of
But the world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world
I want to believe that our time is not wasted
That life is delicious if only we taste it
I want to believe in a world without pain
Where justice comes down like the falling rain
But the world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world
No I don't believe the world
No I don't believe the world

Better

Better
Shine a light on me and you will see what I've become
All my finest moments canceled out by what I've done
Still no place I'd rather be than standing in the sun
And I'm better
Better
better than what I've done
Better
Better
Better than I ever was
And here I come
Sun showers freak me out I don't know how to feel
Misty rainbows in the sky they seem so unreal
Like all the things I thought I wanted - things I tried to steal
And I'm better
Better
better than what I've done
Better
Better
Better than I ever was
And here I come
But I'm better
Better
better than what I've done
Better
Better
Better than I ever was
And here I come

Maddening Muse
You are so beautiful
Always so beautiful
You are so beautiful
Oh maddening muse
You give me hints of hope
Like anything is possible
You give me hints of hope
Maddening muse
Oh but you don’t care
You drive me to despair
Oh but you don’t care
Oh maddening muse
Well you’re watching watching watching the world go by
Waiting waiting waiting I don’t know why
I’m content to be your fool
Knowing that someday you will rule me
You are the reason I
Can’t get to sleep at night
You are the reason why
Oh maddening muse
Oh then you smile and then
There’s that false hope again
Oh then you smile and then
Oh maddening muse
Well you’re watching watching watching the world go by
Waiting waiting waiting I don’t know why
I’m content to be your fool
Knowing that someday you will rule me

Dragonflies
When your feet are off the ground
You feel the weightlessness of sound
And soon you will be homeward bound
Dragonflies by day. Fireflies at night
And soon you will be homeward bound
Vivid dreams of us.
I don't know what to so with this energy.
When your feet are off the ground
You feel the weightlessness of sound
And soon you will be homeward bound
And soon you will be homeward bound

After Everything
Are you defiant after everything that you've done?
I'm through with crying after everything that you've done
After everything that you've done
Have you no shame now after everything that you've done?
Please leave the stage now after everything that you've done
After everything that you've done
Now everything has changed
You're led away in chains
And everybody
They all wish it on me
They all wish it on me
See how they follow
After everything that you've done
There's no tomorrow after everything that you've done
After everything that you've done
Call off your minions after everything that you've done
Your stupid opinions after everything that you've done
After everything that you've done
Now everything has changed.
You're led away in chains
And everybody
They all wish it on me
They all wish it on me

Child's Play
I'm just so beyond it all this is child's play to me
Think you're clever? I don't know. Let's just wait and see
Before you lay your trip on me let me lay my trip on you
I could be doing a million things but here I am with you
Hey hey hey
Try to get a little you can't get enough so you divert the stream
No more thirst you've got a flood watering your dreams
Before you try to probe me get get to know me on the street
The rumble of the highway bridge underneath your feet
Hey hey hey
I'm just so done with it all this is child's play to me
Walk away, it falls to ruin. What is that to me?
Before you put your trust in me there's something you should know
I'm in love with everything and everything must go
Hey hey hey

The Final Wager
Steer me in the right direction and I'll go
And I won't stop until I find
A bridge across the wind, passage through the rain
A workaround to buy us some more time
The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last
Sort me out so I can be the kind of guy
That you would proudly call your own
The stupid things I do will not embarrass you
And you will never be alone
The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last
Wind me up and I will walk the straightest line
A gauntlet of our enemies around
But just one look at me, they'll part like the red sea
And we will walk across the ground
The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last
