Tomorrow, a simple word
You come back, just like you were
With new life choices
Through inner voices
Doors close, they're never heard
Some open, but won't let you in
These simple words won't help you now
Last time I saw ya
Yesterday's gone now
The calendar was thrown out
It's out on the lawn now
It must have been caused by
Some kind of blackout
Doors close, they're never heard
Some open, but won't let you in
These simple words won't help you now
Think forward, move back
Move slowly, think fast
If this was a race, we'd be losing.

Dust all the gold away
It’s light as a feather now
So much so, you can barely feel it
The rain tip taps
Tip taps tiny drops on the ground
So much so, you can only hear it
If you hadn’t found that treasure
Would your life be any better or worse?
A holy blessing or wicked curse?
You’re pockets may be empty
As the weights coming down on you
You ain’t got a lot to show for yourself
But you make due
It’s like trying to leave a footprint
Without your shoes
Like trying to stack the odds in a game
‘Cause you know if you don’t you’ll lose
But you still got respect
And god damn that’s something
In a world where respect
Means next to nothin’
And you stare at your hand
Prayin' they don’t catch you bluffin’
Don’t place another bet
You’re just testing your luck
It feels good, you’re still kicking,
But you’re really just tapping the bucket

Open Wide

At another enchanting rush of adrenaline
How your heart beats so fast
(It’s an endless race but you still got no time to settle in)
And every time that it’s gonna be the day, you let it get away
When there’s nothing holding you back
(Opportunity knocks at the door but you won’t get up to let him in)
You can emerge from your hole in the ground
There’s a ladder to climb what’s holding you down?
Escape the sound of your voice
Echoing off the walls back and forth
You will emerge, and you’ll cover your eyes
But from then on they’ll be open wide
It’s no surprise, you’ll start to see the brighter side of everything
Open wide, you’ll start to see the brighter side of everything

To Make a Diamond

A narrow path or so it seems
But the further we get it widens
A funnel against gravity
Slowly emerge from hiding
So now we fight the gravity
It’s pulling down our eyelids
As darkness falls, for one short beat
You try to keep the timing
The trees close in on you
Like the streetlights do
Up ahead they’re shining
Faces of wood shape their eyes on a heart of coal
To make a diamond
Diamonds.. Diamonds aren’t found here
We’ve got millions of years till we get there

Deer

Roll down the windows
And drive with eyes closed
And your mind goes as fast as the car goes
Think fast but move slow
Like a deer being hunted, it tip toes
Crack a leaf and away it goes
But some aren’t as fortunate
They don’t hear a thing at all
Like the kid with his head down
When his name gets called
Too busy dreaming
Of a nonexistent meaning
To it all
All these things
You’ve been questioning
