Thank you to Lee Ketch and Kit Shields for helping with mixing, recording, and ideas, Tim Blakely for being so new age, Devin Curtis for being such a good boy, Marshall McLuhan for writing some good books, and St. Francis of Assisi for helping me along my way.

Track Name: I Wish That Morning Sun Was Rising: I wish that morning sun was rising
I wish that morning sun would rise
It's spirit is so much more
Than fire and heavenly home
I wish that morning sun was rising.

Oh, It hopes for so much in my stead
And I hope that it's fire's shot through my head
By will a slaven-king
Because the power's in 1,2,3
I wish that morning sun was rising.

I wish that morning sun was rising
That rumor up in the big old sky
Cause I wish that I could be him
And cleanse the fear within
Oh, I wish that morning sun was rising.
Track Name: Oh, Summer: Oh, Summer I think I need you
Oh, Summer what can I do?
And even though, even though you try
I’ll never hurt and need you by my side.

Oh, Heather I’ve seen all the world
And Heather it’s the same as anywhere else
But even though, even though you care
I can’t think about and treat you like you’re there.

And even though
There’s love right by my side
With this new age
My bleeding heart has died.

Oh, Jesus you’re the only one around
Oh, Jesus is that really how you’re found?
But even though, you’ve told about those flames
I’ve got other things to think about than there.

And even though
There’s love right by my side
With this new age
My bleeding heart has died.

I don’t know what I can find myself
I need help if I can find myself
I don’t know if I can find myself
I don’t think about all that I am
I need help if I can find myself
I need help.
Track Name: Prixesque, Again: My love mistakes me
Every night remakes me
But it only happens in my head.

It's force of habit
This endless passion
My endless passion
I'm so sorry for what I've done
My sorrow's only mine, my one.

My love escapes me
She seemed so worthy
Every time that I just go her way
My true love seems to skip away.
Track Name: When the Moon Begins to Rise: Go to sleep my darling
'Cause I'll be in your dreams
Don't fall asleep to quickly
Lest the night be incomplete.

We know it's something special
When the moon begins to rise
For we know the sun will arise next day
And dreams make sweet memory.

Have no fear my darling
I know it can be hard
The seventh day is ending
And work again begin.

But as long as eyes are closed
The world cannot seep in
But it cannot be all that bad
A world that you are in.

We know it's something special
When the moon begins to rise
For we know the sun will arise next day
And dreams make sweet memory.
Track Name: Things Fall Apart: And when I see things fall apart
Before they begin to even start
I don't know what to do
When I'm with you
I feel so down, I feel blue.

It's sort of like some romance
When I don't even give myself a chance
You come so near to me
And I to you
But I'm far away before it's through.

I don't know why, I can fool myself
I don't know why, I create my own hell
I don't know how, that I can find my way.

And when we meet again next week
Let me hold you close don't even think
I know he's near when I'm
So far from you
My Lord's so close when you're far too.
Track Name: Some Word: All of my life is so self-assured
My life is all that I know for sure
But I’m still in despair
I hope there’s something more.

I know my way is just in my head
I know my way is as good as dead
I fail at so many things
My words have no meaning.

I can’t seem to shake this shackled phrase
The phrase they gave me through words on page
But I want out of this life
Of figure in my head.

When I knew life it was at the start
With my new comforts it’s gone apart
There must be some word formed
There must be some word for me.
Track Name: I Feel Down: When I look away
When I look outside
I feel down
I feel down
Away

And when I'm okay
Oh, that's the way
I feel down
Away from you
That's okay
That's okay.
Track Name: Down in Flames: That's right

I'm not too far away
From that which I'm born
From that which I'm born will still decay

It's all for certain now
But I'm not so sure
I'm not so sure what's in my head
I don't know how I'll be okay.

Last night I found someone
Someone new
Someone new who feels okay
I don't know how I know the things I do
I wish I could feel the same as you

I don't know how I feel okay.

I know it's you
I know it's you
It's all for you
It's all for you
And when the sun hides away
It all goes down in flames, down in flames
It's all mine, and you know it too.

It's all for you
It's all for you
I know it too
It's all for you
But when I feel, feel away
It all goes down in flames, down in flames
I know it, and you know it too.
Track Name: New Day: New day, I think that, that I need you
New day, when the night has been run through
New day when the earth and sky unmeet
Sacred sun, please return and separate me.

New day, it's in my head, it's in my mind
New day, I don't know what it is i'll find.

I don't know about some friends of mine
I don't know about some friends of mine
I don't know about some friends of mine
I don't know, I don't know.

New day, I don't know what I need you
New day, when the earth can't be run to
New day, you don't know how much I need
Jesus come, won't you end this life I lead.
Track Name: Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light: Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light
And usher in the morn
O shepherds, shrink not with affright
But hear the angel's warning.

This Child, now weak in infancy
Our confidence and joy shall be
The power of Satan breaking
Our peace eternal making.

Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light
To herald our salvation
He stoops to earth, this God of might
Our hope and expectation.

He comes in human flesh to dwell
Our God with us, Emmanuel
The night of darkness ending
Our fallen race befriending.
