Will I See It Different?
03:41
|
|||
Verse 1
In my pre-dawn peace
Surfaced from the last night's dream
As I lay awake
Realise I prefer real life
Verse 2
Even if my dream
Had been one of wonder full
Every time I choose
Real life over fantasy life
Chorus
But what if this life I love
Was also a dream life
And one day I open eyes
Will I see it different?
Verse 3
Now the day begins
Juggling the hats I wear
Times I search within
Try to find the who am I there
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental
Verse 4
In my evening
Dozing with the TV on
Leave me, let me sleep
I'm so tired I want to forget
Chorus v2
But what if this dream I love :)
Was also a real life
And one day I open eyes
Will I see it different?

How Strange It Is
03:06
|
|||
Chorus A
How strange it is
In falling in love
I'm fooling myself if I start to believe I'm growing
Chorus B
How strange it is
My being in love
Has little to do with becoming a loving person
Verse 1
How strange it is:
Readily ignore needs of those around
I'm so self absorbed to exclusion of all
Even turn my back on the one who loves me
Deny this truth though it's obvious
Repeat Chorus A
Verse 2
How strange it is:
Self serving in my calculating things
Self centered this is how my universe is
Unashamedly all about me I am
Beside myself in the name of love
Repeat Chorus B

Again Begin

Verse 1
It was many years ago I know you came here
Looking back my memory today remains clear
Verse 2
You were hungry for a clue, an explanation
Why we walk upon the earth, you needed reason
Bridge A
Was looking for a light
To shine upon your path
To know the wrong and right
Illuminate the dark
Verse 3
Now you're looking back at life, nobody to blame
Owning all the choices made empowers today
Bridge B
Was after absolutes
You wanted black and white
But at the cost of truth
YOu would not pay that price
Chorus
They never guessed
Truth / lies within
Mistake redress
Again begin
Verse 4
That was many years ago you walked away - yeah
Looking back you wonder why so long you stayed there
Bridge C
Was try'n to make my way
To find some peace of mind
Will not accommodate
So here's a piece of my mind
Chorus V2
Might I suggest
Truth / lies within
Mistake redress
Again begin

Backdrop
03:21
|
|||
Verse 1
Always an answer
No scope to think things through
No room to breath
Or choice to choose
Verse 2
Truth is all wrapped up
Black and white absolute
So they believe
Matter of fact
Chorus
Still if it serves them
And that only they can decide
For life's an adventure
Backdrop we create with our mind
Verse 3
So much restriction
Areas unexplored
Power of mind
Simply ignores
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4
Only for freedom
Give me religion, not
So many dos 'n' don'ts
Who am I forgot
Breakdown
Outro
All in the backdrop
Served by the backdrop
Faith is a backdrop
Belief a backdrop
Truth may be backdrop
Lies can be backdrop
Served by the backdrop
All in the backdrop

Verse 1
If I ask who you are - the question
Will you give it to me straight - the answer?
Do you know just how great you are?
Don't shoot me my brother
Verse 2
If you look in my heart do you see
Reflections of yourself within me?
I may wear skin colour different
But still you are my brother
Chorus
Don't shoot me
I don't agree to play your victim
I've changed my mind
I'm sorry for the inconvenience
Verse 3
If you look at my soul will you know
Inside I am divine, just like you?
I may fake diff'rent faith, but believe
You are still my brother
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental
Verse 4
If you look in my eyes I look back
Why you seem so surprised I'm in here?
I might have two more legs, but it's clear
You are still my brother
Repeat Chorus

I never thought that I would understand
That I could walk upon this promised land

Arising like the morning sun
Everything is illuminated now
Everything seems more beautiful somehow

Everyone seems more beautiful tonight

Night and Day
06:00

Every night you forget
Who are you in real life
Come the morn' - open eyes
That don't see
In the day you wake up
To a life of day dreams
Then again you lay down
To sleep more
In between you wonder
Sometimes find the truth lies
In your mind it's okay
Night and day

Turning cog within society

Everyone Is One Of Us

Verse 1
All the hats that you wear
All the acts you perform
All forgetting who you are
All the dreams you create
All the choices you make
As you bury awareness
Bridge
But/Still in the morning
When the sunrise comes
Then you remember

Every mask of disguise
Every truth that you hide
You deny where you come from
Through your eyes and your ears
In the light and the sound
Everywhere is a playground
Repeat Bridge

While everyone has come for their own reasons
Yet everyone is one of us - is joined together
Instrumental
Verse 3
Every body you take
Always facilitates
Your experience increase
All the webs that you spin
Every end and begin
Celebrate this illusion
