Book of Songs: Transcendence

Every Sunrise

Verse 1

The sun rises high

Your heart is sinking low

You've been running fast

But you've got nowhere to go

The day starts brand new

You leave yesterday behind

There’s a destination in your soul

You’re running out of time

Going wherever the wind blows

You know change always brings pain

You passed the test 

But you still don’t understand

You've been stuck in the mud with your fears

Waiting for someone to lend a hand

Chorus

Every sunrise…brings new light

Every sunrise…is the hope that lasts through the night

Every sunrise…gives the promise of life

See the sun rising…I see the sun rising

I see the sun rising in your eyes

Verse 2

You lost what you had

Now you just try to borrow time

You've been trying to keep out your feelings

Acting like being honest is some sort of crime

Looking out to the horizon

Your dreams disappear

Like a mirage in the heat

Heading for a place not found on a map

You've come too far to ever go back

You can’t find it on your own

You have to be led

The spirit will take you there

Get into your heart and out of your head

Chorus

Every sunrise…brings new light

Every sunrise…is the hope that lasts through the night

Every sunrise…gives the promise of life

See the sun rising…I see the sun rising

I see the sun rising in your eyes

Bridge

See the sunlight kiss the snowy mountain range

See the sunlight dance across the ocean waves

See the sunlight set fire to a clear blue sky

See the sunlight paint the valley floor

See the sunlight warm a heart of stone

Nothing you have is what you need 

Believe in what you can’t see

You can’t fly if you won’t leave the ground

You've got to lose yourself if you want to be found

Every day is brand new… every sunrise is brand new

Chorus

Every sunrise…brings new light

Every sunrise…is the hope that lasts through the night

Every sunrise…gives the promise of life

See the sun rising…I see the sun rising

I see the sun rising in your eyes

Gravity 

Verse 1

Lonely satellite

Drifting high above the sky

Speed your love to me tonight

Through the static and interference

Tell me everything is going to be alright

Popping pills to alter my perception

Changing frequencies

I’m losing reception

Sight and sound surround me

You give me a new reality

Chorus

Gravity… Gravity

What goes up

Doesn't always come down

You’re the gravity keeping me to the ground

Hold me in your orbit tonight

Feel myself losing control

You’re the gravity in my soul

Verse 2

Shooting star

Falling to the ground

Burning up across the sky

My world is falling apart

See my ambition

Washed away

Like a sandcastle in the waves

Leaning too far over the edge

Tattoo your map

I need you to bring me back

Chorus

Gravity… Gravity

What goes up

Doesn't always come down

You’re the gravity keeping me to the ground

Hold me in your orbit tonight

Feel myself losing control

You’re the gravity in my soul

Bridge

I’m sinking out of my depth

Trying to hold on

I’m out of breath

Darling... don’t let go

I’m falling away

Darling... don’t let go

I’m fading fast

Fading...

Hold on

I can see you

Shine your light

Hold on

I need you

Hold me tight

Carry me

Don’t let go

You’re the gravity in my soul

Darling…be my gravity

You’re the gravity in my soul

4^th of July 

She comes like 4th of July

She’s brilliant colours

In a burned out sky

Rockets in the night

See the stars collide

Explode in her eyes

She’s the promise of a politician

She lets me down

Then takes me high

She pulls my string

She spins me around

I’m hanging by a thread

Wrapped around her finger

She drops me to the ground

Pick me up in broken pieces

She’s like a desert breeze

She comes and goes

She’s a storm raging through my heart

She makes me weep like a willow

She turns me away

She’s the needle in my vein

She’s a fever burning through my brain

She makes me hurt

I’m an addict to her pain

She’s a vision

Leading me down a narrow path

I can’t walk

She leaves me lame

She’s a pale moon

In a night of blindness

She eclipses everything I see

She’s deception

With eyes of truth

She’s desire

In a town full of thieves

She’s holiness

In the house of corruption

She’s everything I want

And nothing that I need

She sends me out of control

I need her soul

Make my heart bleed

Make me bleed

I need her speed

Higher…faster

Take everything…Take everything from me

Toxic Blue 

Verse 1

We were busy waiting for tomorrow

I never noticed yesterday had come and gone

We thought that we had all the answers

It was the questions I never knew

You like to come on strong

Like drinking manic red and toxic blue

Chorus

Did you ever wonder?

Why the pretty people…never talk to you?

Do you ever?

Feel like a stranger…when there’s no one else with you?           

Did you ever?

Dress up for the evening…in manic red and toxic blue?

This is the girl I once knew

Verse 2

I still try to find that day

The place I first met you

You send me letters

Postcards from the moon

I keep running to catch up to you

I feel like I’m too late

You tell me it’s too soon

There’s always time for manic red and toxic blue

Chorus

Did you ever wonder?

Why the pretty people…never talk to you?

Do you ever?

Feel like a stranger…when there’s no one else with you?           

Did you ever?

Dress up for the evening…in manic red and toxic blue?

This is the girl I once knew

Bridge

The flower garden you planted

Is overgrown with thorny weeds

The love you once flaunted

Has turned into terminal disease

You dress up pretty

In designer clothes and shoes

But when you smile

All I see is manic red and toxic blue

Chorus

Did I ever wonder?

Did you never notice?

Did I ever… come on strong?

This is the life I once knew

Manic red and toxic blue

You Are (Even more)

You are the needle in my vein

You are the drug that kills my pain

You are gasoline on the flames

You are the one who whispers my name

You are the water that washes the stain

You are the calm in a hurricane

You are the desire when I won’t refrain

You are sunlight in the evening rain

You are a blind man’s cane

You are the grace that removes my shame

You are…you are everything I need

You are…you are everything and even more

Slow Wind

Slow wind blows
Slow wind blows

Under the moon
I hear your footsteps
Under the stars
I feel your prayers
Under a tree
I see you crying
Under the night
I am there

Slow wind blows
Slow wind blows

Under the moon
There is no worry
Under the stars
There is no fear
Under my skin
There is a burning
And in your eyes
There is a tear

Slow wind blows
Slow wind blows

Under the moon
There is a vision
Under the stars
You call my name
Under your breath
There is an answer
Under the sky
Falls the pouring rain

Slow wind blows
Slow wind blows


Supernova

Verse 1

The universe is falling apart

Tearing at the seams

Like a broken heart

Shining alone in the night

Find me in the cold dark

Hold me tight

Supernova

Chorus

Light up the skyline with your eyes

You’re the miracle of life

Elevate me with your high

We’re creating new worlds tonight

Supernova

Verse 2

Tiny ripples in a clear blue night

I've been swimming in your pools of light

Give me something I can touch

Something that feels so real

Lay your hands on me

I need to be healed

Supernova

_Chorus

Light up the skyline with your eyes

You’re the miracle of life

Elevate me with your high

We’re creating new worlds tonight

Supernova

Verse 3

You’re signs and wonders

In a heavenly sky

Above the lights of the city

In the curve of the moon

Sitting pretty

Pour yourself out in a monsoon

Supernova

Bridge

Volcano

Burning in my soul

Feel myself losing control

Blind to everyone I meet

My heart is a begging bowl

I’m falling at your feet

In You

The spark

That ignites my life

Supernova

Chorus

Light up the skyline with your eyes

You’re the miracle of life

Elevate me with your high

We’re creating new worlds tonight

Supernova

Transcendence 

Verse 1

We will live longer than our dreams

Every river tries to fill the sea

Some things just weren't meant to be

We will last beyond the stars

There are no rivers that can fill your heart

Some things aren't what they seem

Where ever you go

That’s where I want be

Whatever you tell me

I will believe

Chorus

Transcendence

You are a ladder to the stars

I want to ascend to Heaven in your arms

Transcendence

You’re smile is the curve of the moon

I disappear in you

Verse 2

We are more than what you touch and see

From the chains of this world

You set me free

Transform my heart with your reality

Lift me up out of the dirt

Beyond tears of pain and misery

Shroud me in your mystery

The beauty of your soul

Illuminates the night

A million suns burning bright

Chorus

Transcendence

You are a ladder to the stars

I want to ascend to Heaven in your arms

Transcendence

You’re smile is the curve of the moon

I disappear in you

Bridge

My heart is racing

My mind can’t keep up

You’re live electricity

Feel your bolt shoot through me

Set me on fire

See your flames reach higher

Burn me up like a funeral pyre

Consume me tonight

Take me too far

To ever look back

Chorus

Transcendence

You are a ladder to the stars

I want to ascend to Heaven in your arms

Moment of Clarity 

Verse 1

In the fullness of time
Where the tears never dry
When stars refuse to shine
Where the sea always swells
With secrets you never tell
In the middle of the night
Find me in the black
When there is no light
And my eyes go blind
You are all I see…you are all I see
You’re a moment of clarity

Chorus

Stardust lover
Pull me under
Paint my heart with your colours
Stardust lover
Pull me under
Let me taste all of your wonders
I've been stung by a swarm of bees
You've got a way to bring me to my knees
You're a revelation in an age of reason
A monsoon in dry season
You're my moment of clarity

Verse 2

Like a hole torn in the sky
With a head full of broken rhymes
When sorrow stains my memory
Soothe me with your remedy
I wandered off the path
Where long shadows never fade
I need you to show me the way
When desperation fills my heart
And the day is long as the night is dark
You are all I need…you are all I need
You’re a moment of clarity

Chorus

Stardust lover
Pull me under
Paint my heart with your colours
Stardust lover
Pull me under
Let me taste all of your wonders
I've been stung by a swarm of bees
You've got a way to bring me to my knees
You're a revelation in an age of reason
A monsoon in dry season
You're my moment of clarity

Bridge

Your love flashes through my heart
Like lightning in the dark
Star-crossed lover
Tell me there is no other
The ice is cracking under our feet
If you go
Then pull me under
In the night…in the day
Find a way
I’m blind to everything around me
You are all I see…you are all I see
Everything I want and all that I need

Who I am and what I want to be
You're a revelation in an age of reason
A monsoon in dry season
You're my moment of clarity
You've got a way to bring me to my knees
You are all I see…You are all I see
Give me your clarity...you give me clarity
