I hear them calling
They're calling out to me
They tell me freedom is here
Yeah freedom's finally here
And all the while rain is falling
Just like notes on a symphony
They tell me not to feel fear
'Cause freedom's finally here
'Take one bite to take the fall
We'll be right next to you through it all
With these words I saw
With these words I saw
I once was caged but now I'm free
And I don't really wanna go home
I once was blind but now I see
And I don't really wanna go home
I've paid the price, I know the cost
Don't preach to me, I know I'm lost
And if my father calls for me
Tell him I don't really wanna go, don't really wanna home
Tell me again
What's it like on the other side
Are you still living in fear?
Are you still living in fear?
Aren't we all just human
We turn to dust when we die
Sacrifice every year
To please the gods we hold dear
'Take one bite to take the fall
We'll be right next to you through it all
With these words I saw
With these words I saw
I once was caged but now I'm free
And I don't really wanna go home
I once was blind but now I see
And I don't really wanna go home
I've paid the price, I know the cost
Don't preach to me, I know I'm lost
And if my father calls for me
Tell him I don't really wanna go, don't really wanna go home
No I don't wanna go back to where I couldn't run
Do you see me now? I've only just begun
I won't stop to lay my head
Until I've reached the sun
No I don't wanna go back to where I couldn't run

Yvaine

Verse:
Before Time comes and takes what isn't his
Into his storeroom full of dust
Before he comes, Yvaine I'll tell you this
Some things just aren't meant to last
Before Death comes and whispers in my ear
All of the secrets that she keeps
Before she comes, Yvaine please listen, dear
As Stormhold weeps and Faerie sleeps
Pre-chorus:
Take a look back at all the roads we've crossed
We've gone to Babylon by candlelight
And though at times we've gotten lost
Now we're all right
Chorus:
So don't let your eyes get drenched in rain
We did not walk this road in vain
Yvaine
The love we share will never change
My only queen
My fallen star
I love you near
I love you far

What I'm about to say will take the kind of courage used to
Cut a wire from a bomb
The kinds of things that you will hear, will resemble
A bottle of wine fermented too long
My mouth is dry, I'm up in the sky,
My stomach's starting to dance
Before I die, I have to try,
I'm gonna take the chance
But oh, there's a risk that you'd go away
We'd lose the friendship we're enjoying right now
But there might also be regret if we throw away
The more-than-friendship we'd be missing somehow
So...
I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out?
We could walk around oval as usual, asking what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together touched my life to the core
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you, and I want to love you more
Tell me how to get to you
Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell what you want me to do
And if you're listening and thinking "Is this song about me?"
Maybe maybe maybe maybe
You are a work of art
I'm captivated by the things that you do
Though I'd be jealous of a man who tries to win your heart
My goal is that he'd envy me too
So...
I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out?
We could walk, and talk, and travel, read, and watch, and figure out what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together proved our friendship true
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you, and maybe it's time that you knew
I know for certain that I love you, and I hope you love me too

Aphrodite
04:05

Verse:
You're the moon that glows in the sky
Lighting up the world when it's blue
Stars they dance, though late in the night
Don't you know they dance just for you?
There you are, above darkened clouds
Smiling at the world from afar
With the stars, you wander around
May they follow you wherever you are
Here I am, just another boy
Singing songs that others have sung
Tryna find the words to employ
To adore the goddess of love
Pre-Chorus:
Oh, you've got me in a daze yeah,
No, it's not a childish phase
You gave me one look and now I can't get my mind off of you
(And it's all because)
Chorus:
I see the galaxies when I look in your eyes
And I can't speak no I can't speak at all
I swear to Zeus you're Aphrodite in disguise
Don't think that you could hide it from me
No I never thought I'd get this close to someone so divine
Oh I can't breathe no I can't breathe at all
Aphrodite could you could you please be mine,
Verse:
Here you are, I've waited so long
Hoping you would sit down and stay
And with the stars, I've been dancing along
Like a fool, so you'd look my way
You're the moon that glows in the sky
Lighting up my world when it's blue
And here I sing, though late in the night
Hope you know I sing just for you
