Prodigals 03:55
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 02:19
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

Maybe 03:41
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
