Now that you’re gone
You may alter your direction
Will you offer your connection anymore
I see the scene
Someday sitting by the statues
As we hide away the words we used to show
You were more to me than any
And I hope that much is known
All that I say
It seems someone has said it better
Maybe written in your letter long ago
My words are here
Just to catch you in the passing
Maybe open up a path that you had closed
They may fall around you
But that’s the way it goes
Look out for feelings of regret
Don’t listen to your heart
You may find out
It hasn't quite reset
I never knew
That a subtle confrontation
Could shatter your foundations all around
Forget the words you owe me
Just leave them on the ground
You can leave them on the ground

Seven of Us
03:24

Seven of us from the years of my youth
Every one of us aware of some kind of truth
And though perhaps somewhere we drifted apart
I know that we still share the same heart
And it speaks to us often, it tries to be heard
At all of our windows, like a lonely lost bird
And though it flies alone, it truly flies free
Around the world and back home
It's seen all that we've yet to see
And if we listen to its song we can never forget
What the seven of us have and haven't got yet
What the seven of us have and haven't got yet

Had Enough?

Had enough?
Take all you ever wanted
It's your very last time around
Send a letter to your brother
And he'll be there when you hit the ground
If you followed your statements to their logical conclusions
Or you knew what you were doing at all
You'd be an oh so much more formidable opponent
Standing straight, standing tall
Come down from your room
The car is waiting and I'll meet you in the hall
Losing time but you're a friend of mine
And we could be flying but you'd rather crawl
You fell out
Of favor with all your friends
But I believe you let them go
And this is not where the story ends
The rest is buried deep below
Back on the farm
Back to the land
You'll work for a living now
And your fate
Will return back to your own hands
We'll get you out somehow
Come down from your room
The car is waiting and I'll meet you in the hall
Losing time but you're a friend of mine
And we could be flying but you'd rather crawl

At the End of the Day

Fading fast, I hope I last
There’s more than this parlor trick
To do
At the end of the day
You and I, we’ll be fine
But the party line, is a waste of time
On us
At the end of the day
Like a fighter jet in flames
Caught in a tailspin, headed out of range
Back and forth, we pass the torch
And hope the light
Will be bright
Enough
At the end of the day
Like a fighter jet in flames
Pull the line and we can parachute away
All day long, I hear our song
It’s a distant tune, just like the loon
We heard
At the end of the day
Like a fighter jet in flames
We’ll watch it crash and burn into the distant waves
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
