Build a fence around you in a father's way I try to feel what it is you'll be going through Co's I've played many ways When you grow, how much will it take to slow you down... Half the way? Do my best to feed you and I do what's right I try to find the words that I'll say to you When you come home tonight And if so, how hard will we cry before our sound Fades away? One day when the fence is not so high The road you took How far will you go? How high will you climb? And when all in life's unfair Are you strong enough to find another way, find another way Find another way? A Father's way I build a fence around you in a father's way Just like the one who used to preach to me Now I've become that way But you know How soft now the hand that used to strike To the heart One day when the fence is not so high The road you took How far will you go? How high will you climb? And when all in life's unfair Are you strong enough to find another way, find another way Find another way? There's no way You will stay There's no way I know you There's no way You will stay There's no way I know you.

Freedom is a voice Freedom is a song Freedom is a spirit For the people who are strong Freedom is a city Freedom is a land Freedom is the courage To take another hand

When I saw you I could barely see I could barely see you I could hardly feel Oh, where'd you go? I didn't know you I couldn't hear you when you said my name You're in so much pain Such an ugly stain Can you let us all just know If you want to go? All I feel is your pain You want to be free You want to be free You're playing in memories You're playing in my daydreams I want to be singing Oh, with your spirit It's how we live Hold my hand so still Feel my heart so still Don't want to feel so far apart All these ways I'm praying I want to love the life you give I want to live the love you give So much time I'm wasting now So much shame I'm feeling now Hearing all those fears to come Oh, I hate that sound The ghost machine If I fall on my face Will you flatter me? And when I fall on my face Who will flatter me with praise? A quiet voice You're playing in memories You're playing in my daydreams I want to be singing Oh, with your spirit It's how we live Hold my hand so still Feel my heart so still Don't want to feel so far apart All these ways I'm praying I want to love the life you give I want to live the love you give How, how we lived

Summer solstice sets the scene "Hot as hell! How hot out here!" As awoke an angry ambush Now runs the rip a roiling red King Carcharodon, King Carcharias Kills to keep the coast clear

Though borne on a shadow, void of a measurable depth Violent it folds open, cold growing under its chin Shadow breaks shadow vying for sway in the deep Knowledge breaks shadow once it pierces the skin Doubt inspires shadow, is its arable land

You and I fell in love last night With the girl getting dressed across the street She knew full well how visible she was Slow spinning, hand's combing her hair Then she broke our reverie by catching our eyes remote And drawing her inside of our minds Then she drew an X and an O in the air And I froze And a quiver ran the length of my form Then I drew a 5 and an A on each hand and pressed on our window Then she was gone Bated breath we did wait with until she walked through the door Said not a word, biting her lip Close enough to see her pulse Then I kissed you and you kissed me I kissed her and she kissed me Then she kissed you and you kissed her You and I kiss her You and I kiss her You and I kiss her You and I kiss her

Where did it come from, the voice in the vale? Boorish and then some, a thief in the soil Errant and middle-born, fiending for one who might heed him unknowingly Spoke he, "Shadow breaks shadow, and I am the shadow You sum to nothing, so let go your burden and I will offer you shade The sun will kill you. Seven billion all against you You won't do this alone"

How fine you are to me The mornings moonful, the loving blackless What to make of the trials of late? A court held in fearless still A war that chills these quaking loins Poise unstabled Foals belabored Steal me, steel me yet against the slowness Pitch me sudden, rouse a victor
