Amplified

Find the love rhythm
The one that carries my heart
Feel it
Live it
Free it
Dance like there’s nothing
Left to hide

Find the spirit rhythm
The one that caresses my soul
Feed it
Grow it
Admire it
Dance like limitless freedom
Can’t be denied

TBT: Dialect Of Thirthy (1999)

My quest for success
Leads me to my mind
A natural selection
I can’t find

My quest for silence
Leads me to my perception
A choice of unity
And motivation

My quest for fiction
Leads me to personality
A dialect of thirty
And functionality

Aggravated

Don’t say goodbye before you’re ready
It takes a firm soul to keep it steady
There never was a better time to be passionate
But don’t let it get in the way of fate

Don’t say hello before I’m no longer a stranger
It takes a while to wonder if I’m trust or danger
There never was a better way to be exploited
But don’t let it get in the way of getting disappointed

TBT: An Open Door (2003)

Short of temper under delay
My impatience was surrounding me
Suddenly losing the power to act
Beyond my obligations or duty

I was asking for immunity from the fear
Of unbearable physical pain
Only my body can endure

In the habit of being practical
My resistance was free of artificiality
Suddenly losing the power to see
Beyond my beliefs or faith

I needed protection from the predictability
Of passing through the life
Only my soul could understand

Hostess

Follow the notes of music
That dances in your heart
Listen for the waves of tears
That crest on the steps
Of your own mortality

Hear the song of history
That remembers the forgotten spirit
Look for the rainbow of fears
That dissipate during the testament
Of our shared reality

TBT: I Wish (Always Wondering Again) (2005)

I wish I knew why
People are
Always wondering
Why they do things
Why they forget
Why they neglect
It's always been
A passion
To find the roots
Of my past
But I forgot
To look ahead
To the eyes
Starring at me
The eyes of forgiveness

I wish I knew how
People are
Always wondering
How to do things
How to forget
How they reflect
IT's always been
Desperation
To find the shadows
Of the past
But they forget
To look inside
To the heart
They think is dead
The heart
Of forgiveness

Shipwrecked

I’m stuck between two worlds
My world is dying
I won’t let myself listen to panic
Let me take my last breath in peace
Everything, nothing, leave me alone
Let me see my world is dying

I cast away my heart
To be shipwrecked
Let it be lonely

You are stuck between two worlds
My world is thriving
Don’t let them listen to the lies
Two mothers, two fathers
Always, never, I won’t let you perish
Make me see why your world is dying

I cast away my soul
To be shipwrecked
Let it be empty

We’re stuck between two worlds
Neither of us can stop crying
I don’t want to feel this way anymore
What have you destined us to
Confused, bruised, let me heal
Set me free so I no longer feel

I cast away my mind
To be shipwrecked
Let it be thirsty

TBT: Defy (2005)

What love do you want from me
That you can't give to yourself
It's all in the way you imagine
The little sun in the sky
The little things that make you high
Take a moment and imagine

What kind of life do you need
That you can't live with others
It's all in the way you breathe
The big problems that you imply
The big things that make you cry
Take a moment and breathe

What kind of sins do you carry
That you can't forgive yourself
It's all in the way you pray
The small heart in your eye
The small things that make you try
Take a moment and pray
