An old dream That only leaves you guessing I floated off balloons So they could meet up with the stars The ceiling leaked for days It's a permanent condition I feel my intuition slippin' away If I only had a moment and I could make it on the outside I would break apart the plastic we fell so far away Well you know how I feel I'll keep spinning the pages And pacing on the stages we used to play An old theme Thrust into illusion Familiar with seclusion where mourning is the day I loved more than I ever lost I paid so much more than it cost Our shoulders brushed on evergreens and If I only had a moment and I could make it on the outside I would break apart the plastic we fell so far away Well you know how I feel I'll keep spinning the pages And pacing on the stages we used to play solo If I only had a moment and I could make it on the outside I would break apart the plastic we fell so far away Well you know how I feel I'll keep spinning the pages And pacing on the stages we used to play

Heaven said it's time to go But I just started calling this my home Together but I'm all alone Gonna have to do this on my own Never know when it's the end But I will still be calling you my friend Sooner, later, say goodbye We're all just weary passengers in time Let the sun set outside my patio door once more Tell me you remember like before Cause' if I knew the reason, well I would say The future's so uncertain Closing like a velvet curtain and all that really mattered was today Standing on the edge of time looking back at what I thought was mine No one wants to let it go But when the time is right then you will know I wish you'd be my company The river's running under me The music's playing wonderfully If I had another chance I'd Watch the sunset outside my patio door once more Please tell me that you remember the way it was before Cause' if I could tell you the reasons I'm gladly tell you more The future isn't given The beauty is this life we're livin' All that ever really mattered was today today

I made a small mistake today yes I made a small mistake today and it cost you it cost you the world I made a small mistake today Well they all came 'round to pray They all came around to pray And one by one they all went away I made a small mistake today The sentinels have sounded their horn The sentinels have sounded their horn The blinds have all been closed as all the curtains drawn and I don't think I'll last til' the dawn There is no rope to carry the load Left in a heap on the side of the road Saturday fair all painted in frowns Scattered debris that covers the ground Open me up and show me around Made a new life in a neighboring town He made a call home on a rotary phone The ringer was silent I was alone The killer becomes the prey The killer becomes the prey The angels have soared so far away No killer will be granted a stay The pillars have crashed to the ground The pillars have crashed to the ground In 2 feet of water a hero had drown And these were the last words he wrote down I made a small mistake today I made a small mistake today And it cost you the world I made a small mistake today

I've been gone for too long, and you know You think that you know, but you're wrong You come to me with your merit badge of shame I know your reasons but mine aren't the same they're not the same You don't have to stay this doesn't have to be and if you run away I wouldn't disagree I loved you, but we're too far apart scratch beneath the surface and you'll find an empty heart and I'm leavin' I feel I'm alive again Feel free to tell your lies to them I can't bring that moment back you're still living in the past, I'm leavin' Love became nostalgia for the way we used to feel We never even noticed that the amplitude was real We came so very far just to wonder who we are and digging through the reasons like we're picking at the scars We don't have the time to throw away Wasting breath on yesterday The tide won't stop for passing storms The time is gone I'm movin' on

The springtime beckons new warmth from the sun As the wind continues to blow A seed gets tucked into a spot in the earth Until the seeds encouraged to grow As time goes by with solidified roots He stretches his arms to the sky And just as he's about as strong as he can be That's when he's beckoned to die They call it the flood You know they call it the flood They call it the flood All but the memories washed away thats why they call it the flood A young man fortified by determination and the freedom to do as he please A rung at a time he climbed up the ladder til' he could see up over the trees continued his ascent staying focused on his footing so that he could adjust to the breeze but the storm blew in with magnificent fury and it leveled him like a disease Thats why the call it the flood thats why they call it the flood They call it the flood Even all the boats gon' sink to the bottom once they get caught in the flood All boats gon' sink to the bottom All boats gon' sink to the bottom All boats gon' sink to the bottom today Hold on cause' the levee's gonna break soon Hold on don't let the river take you Don't let this situation break you down Because this is the day when you start your life over again And for a very long time child this is gonna hurt like hell But you're gonna make it through yeah you're gonna make it through said you're gonna see a new way water recedes and the sun and the breeze are planning for a new day Someday you'll find what you lost before Someday you'll find what you lost before Someday you'll find what you lost before the storm the storm before the storm Knocked to the bottom I can still see the summit one step at a time I'm a climb as the days into weeks and the months into years I'm beginning to see the design We learn by the lessons of the loss and the scars build another foundation in time and once the last nail is driven in the column well that's when I'm taking what's mine Because of the flood We got lost in the flood Because of the flood Nothing in this natural world's gonna break you once you've been caught in the flood All but the memories washed away thats why the call it the flood Even all the boats gon' sink to the bottom once they get caught in the flood Nothing in the natural worlds gonna break you once you been caught in the flood

Oh no coming down again I can't feel this world again On ly words i give to you my heart is breakin' All this gravity is pushing I'm still bracing am I only waiting for the world to weigh me down again but when? alone with the November sky cold but I won't go inside I miss the time I spent with you it all comes undone Hear my screaming I can't leave here Leaves are piling Time is running out each day I'm numb I tried to stop the sun with my gun Can't escape running back into myself I can't escape running back into myself Can't escape running back into myself and I'm looking at someone else Can't escape
