Track Name: The Arboretum
Please tell me, where is this Darkness you see?
The full Moon said, "Get Lost."
It's hard to lose Yourself
when you're the Light shining the Way.

Please tell me, where is this Silence you seek?
The thunder of the Road
The Ocean breathes in the automobiles
the traffic Ebbs and Flows.

Hold on to the Things you know are true
And watch them slip away...
Hold on to the Things they Want from you
And watch them slip away...
From you,
From me,
All Things Pass Away.

So many costs and Moments forgot,
you sink into the Swamp
The quicksand of a Thought
preserves the pain of Yesterday.
The Past replayed.

So many Fears hide behind the disguise of Love,
As simple as the Truth,
The moment tells you to discard your
cloak and go in Peace,
Sit with me.

Hold on to the Things you know are true
And watch them slip away...
Hold on to the Things you know are true
And watch them slip away...
From you,
From me,
All Things Pass Away.
Track Name: You Can Be My Friend!
I thought too hard about it, honey
I thought too hard
Thinking that it was heartache, honey
But it's a farce,

It's a far-out,
Cause and effect,
And I don't care how It ends
Or if It really Is...

A stretch to you
A stretch to you
A stretch to you

A stretch to you
That everything you see
Is something you Believe in.

Forget about It
Forget about It
Forget about It
Forget about It
And

Come on baby
You can be my friend
For a while
(You can be my friend)

Come on baby
Let's at least pretend
For a while
(Pretend we're friends)
Track Name: Swimming In Your Sleep
Steal the heart from the cave.
Hold it close, take it with you to your grave,
Buried deep beneath the gold,
Growing cold as you grow old,
As you fall apart,
We're together once again.

Just swimming
In a well of your Karma,
Riding the waves that you make.
Just swimming in your sleep,
When the water gets too deep,
You swim ashore.
Well, what are you here for?

The Keys of Reason: lost again.
A helping hand is so much stronger than a pen,
And my tongue was caught today
by a friend who learned to say,
"I was wrong,
we're together once again."

Just swimming
In a well of your Karma,
Riding the waves that you make.
Just swimming in your sleep,
When the water gets too deep,
You swim ashore.
Well, what are you here for?
Track Name: Diamond In The Rough
In time,
all of your pain
will be like
clouds in the sky,
softer than dreams,
are they even there?

It ain't mine,
all this rain inside,
It's not what you leave behind,
it's all the people you let sit beside you,
get to know you...

Diamond
In the rough,
I'm too hard on you.
Diamond
In the rough.

It ain't right,
but baby don't try to fight it,
It's gonna flood within,
don't pour the rain out upon another,

Oh don't you know
how it goes
you gather all
the seeds you sow
and they
feed off of your bones,
in the End. :)

Diamond

In the rough,
I'm too hard on you.
Diamond
In the rough.

Oh It's coming down Oh OH
