Intro 00:54
2.
Wanderer 04:04
Trying to find my way I Ripped up my insides I Found a map that led me Straight to your heart. It makes no sense to me It makes no sense to me Turn down that television I see your eyes in mine Down that radio station I feel your hand in mine It makes no sense to me It makes no sense to me It makes no sense to me It makes no sense to me

The System 05:10
Dragging our feet we forge ahead Unsure of the outcome but its better than bein dead Searching for doors to find they’re walls instead We end up complacent and just go home to bed We’re not alive we follow the system Not alive We follow the system Names and faces they tell us what to think Placing blame and lying they show us how to be Keep searching for truth to find it’s out of reach We end up frustrated and just begin to sink We’re not alive We follow the system Let’s move out of this rut

Treehouse 04:56
There’s a fire raging in my body It’s everything that I’m supposed to be Instead we are hiding here together Just my teddy bear and me We just want a place of our own We just want a place of our own Somewhere deep within the forest There’s a hideout just for me Filled with everything that I’ll need It’s my home in a tree We just want a place of our own We just want a place of our own When I hide in the corner The forest comes alive We are running through the meadow Just my mother and I We just want a place of our own We just want a place of our own All We Are As the dead head bobs through water As the wheels turn ticking the clock As the crow cries out for no one This is how we are. This is how we are. As a ruby under a cushion As a kite tied to a tree As boat without sails This is how we are. This is how well are. I searched the oceans looking for treasure I climbed the mountains up to the sky As a pilgrim I wandered and wandered This is how we are, this is how we are Is this all we are? Is this all we are? Is this all we are? Is this all we are?

Lost Time 04:48
When you cry I calm you down Your smiles got me bound This is hard, I whisper But your innocence keeps me here Who could ever deny you? Who could ever deny you? But it happens all the time Yeah it happens all the time Violently you cry now Lost in the sound I want to save you To go back there Who could ever deny you? Who could ever deny you? But I happens all the time Yeah it happens all the time You are enough I tell you Follow my love I’ll show you You are enough I tell you Follow my love I’ll show you You are enough I tell you Follow my love I’ll show you You are enough I tell you Follow my love I’ll show you

All We Are 06:15
As the dead head bobs through water As the wheels turn ticking the clock As the crow cries out for no one This is how we are. This is how we are. As a ruby under a cushion As a kite tied to a tree As boat without sails This is how we are. This is how well are. I searched the oceans looking for treasure I climbed the mountains up to the sky As a pilgrim I wandered and wandered This is how we are, this is how we are Is this all we are? Is this all we are? Is this all we are? Is this all we are?
