Many in Few 05:38
when the world creeps about while the sun stands aside i’ll wander for you (searching for you) when a light is a tear and the night’s an aurora i picture you in (all around you) i know you are the one are you sleeping tonight are you dreaming of places that we visited (and words never said) when the touch of your hand was a sensation i cherished and lost myself in (bottle it and store it if you can) i know you are the one CHORUS it’s a soft silhouette it’s a feeling inside it’s the world at your feet it’s a halting goodbye it’s a hard way to go when you’re learning the beat it’s a tough thing to crash when you’re walking the street you should know i have seen crashing seas in your eyes your mind is the ground i’d defend 'til i die in the night with my thoughts i am summoning you and i know that you know we are many in few is he with you tonight is he an Adonis you think me unequal to (unequal to) or when he’s away do you channel your thoughts and call to me too? (meet me in the dreamtime if you do) CHORUS x2

Selene 04:49
should i take myself back to the night we stood in a crossroad under cypress trees when you illumined me in this we are ageless in this we are deathless if you’d ask i’d sleep eternally to feel you lie beside me every evening light wanes my heartbeat speeds when i watch you move, Selene (i know that you have found) an electric, argent dream (my secret places) and you are (and i’m) waxing (waning) shining (bleeding) green eyes and raven-haired sheen i need you so, Selene (i know your phases now) for now and ever after when you say i have a presence say you know of absence when the stars all fade so easily and if i were a painter could my brushes capture your face in crimson near totality eclipsing other mysteries if you find me on my knees howling let me howl, Selene (just say you’ll have me now) my spirit’s running loose (we’re both completed) you set me (when we’re) chanting (holding) reeling (feeling) don’t lay it off when you yourself it seems (when daylight will allow) suffer from the same madness as me and i’d reprise my role once again become a worshipper build up bonfires and sacrifice i’d divine and i’d defer evening light wanes my heartbeat speeds when i watch you move, Selene (i’m your Endymion) an electric, argent dream (i know you love me) and you are (when you’re) waxing shining green eyes and raven-haired sheen i need you so, Selene (i know your phases now) for now and ever after need you if you find me on my knees howling let me howl, Selene (i’m your Endymion) my spirit’s running loose (we’re both completed) you set me (when we’re) chanting reeling don’t lay it off when you yourself it seems suffer from the same madness as me

begin with the fact you’re breathing you breathe and believe that you exist what locked you up is leaving (relax, secure, let go) what locked you up diminishes your inhibition vanishes don’t bite your lip tonight let your words unwind when you feel the tourniquet twisting a coiling squeeze behind your eyes that’s the poison working on you their words are doubts that calcify (don’t let them sow them) let your fears etherealize (give no attention to them) learn to dematerialize don’t bite your lip tonight let your words unwind it’s an obstructing habit it’s your destructive habit there’s nothing altruistic in it you’re allowing yourself to be compromised (you’re worth more than you know) begin with the fact that you’re breathing don’t let yourself believe their lies
4.
Now That I 04:40
you never know when you’ll witness the Comet of the Century now that i have, tell me if you’re a friend or enemy the blossoms on cherry trees rustle; they fade into grey in the night my politic melts in the heat of your trimmed-wick candlelight (and i think you were right) now that i’ve heard all the tones resonating here with you how can i fear anything they could ever try to do i’m made new in midnight blue a strand of porcelain dresses an indoor lemon tree the tilt of your head as you listen to a phantom symphony is this the crystalline knowledge to which you’ve heard referred when they resurface Lexington Avenue i’ll try to find the words (a boiling blacktop blur) now that i’ve heard all the tones resonating here with you how can i fear anything they could ever try to do i’m made new in April blue our ingenue she’s holding feverfew

Fly 06:15
home is life on the run you’d settle down if you could sound it out but home not what it was and any notion you had in the clouds is gone, you’re under the knife and it keeps you up all night tell me if i’m wrong, i know i’m not ‘cause i feel it all the time cold and hiding away, they spark the truth to keep me so confused the old won’t let me stay and all the kids are calling it too soon, let's go, but i won’t be afraid when i say what i need to say, it’s just the way i know, there’s no need to explain why you’re jumping off the train you’ll fly, you’ll fly you’ll fly, you’ll fly won’t find the way through the clouds without the one thing you always seem to lose the sight of mind, the life in you but the cause is something new don’t hang up the phone don’t go, we’ll make it alright if we wait out the storm tonight, then we take it slow to keep me in line, we all forget sometimes, it’s just the way that i know, but you won’t be afraid when you say what you need to say, there’s no need to explain, we’re all jumping the train, it’s everyone at the same time of all the things that we’ve done wrong with our feet on the ground too long you won’t hear anything outside so far beyond the battle cry you’ll fly, you’ll fly you’ll fly, you’ll fly you’ll fly, you’ll fly you’ll fly, you’ll fly
