Greenz I would pick both of these tracks, because they are so good. But only picking one, I had to go with Toil. Needless to say, I am really looking forward to what you bring to the table next, man. Favorite track: The Vanity of Toil.

Breaking, the dawn, bright rays spread You earthly person, you saw them The sun will rise, we’re running Through open field, distant mountain Fall air, air Air, air Peace in the wild, so solemn The blades and flowers sway calmly All things, alive, created A wondrous sight, so wasted Flow air, air Shake trees, sightless slayer Flow air, air Move miles, blowing there

What’d you say Last night Perfect wounds Blind sight Would you take That away Lustrous dreams Kill pain Virtue lives On lies Toils shine, Rust, die Giver gives Some days Giver takes Away

Limelight 03:38
I fall in the floating that is all life Lost sure confidence that’s then laid to die Thrown, tossed tolerance, it don’t hit the ceil Bridge burned of lost grace will not heal Tonight, the world has served it’s time The limelight, a gift enthusing sighs The fountain, it raises liquid life A thousand outpour with certain signs Missed ways, walking forward and back to show One face so flawless yet so unknown Two steps: one forward, one back, a loss Then showing the paths yet once more crossed Tonight, the world has walked its ways The limelight, a treasure filled with pain The fountain, it flows a flower’s need A thousand outpour in ways yet seen Tonight, the world has seen all things The limelight, it’s lost what silence brings The fountain, it pours a precious gift A thousand explore the great new place

They were cashing me out, you said You’d say I wouldn’t know when It’s slower, maybe, for someone Who’d seen their own death at the door All these things that I’ve done, for what They’re there and then they’re gone, so Now, sandcastles, these things they are I've lost them to the infinite wave Lost loves, oh there’s nothing Gone riches, all for nothing All ashes; burned away Earth’s promise, all decayed Yet I want, yet I call Oh, I’ve latched onto faith, I set My mind on other things now I’ve watched my world fall apart I see only things that are new

Second Home 03:44
Got on that plane Second home Michigan Is the place Where I found Summer’s love Frost, winter’s glare Run around Snow was there Christmas day Then went south Saw St. Clair When we got into Flint Loved ones greet us with All of their compassion; elation Drive down seventy-five To where they reside All things I have loved are waiting Large wooden walls Olden days Pictures say Thing I was Not here for And so much more Sized on the door Ragged road Nose to blow Maple leaf Seen across A clear blue lake In the grass we would play Loved ones watched away All of their compassion; elation Drive up, large lake I’d see A fire on the beach All things I have loved are waiting Got on that plane Second home Michigan Is the place Where I found Summer’s love

All the chord was, was so sad Graven roots became the chain Holding down one which could not escape A polished tomb from which grave robbers take Falling waves, to June Walled up heat, a ruse Confusion, so it be Drowning out a voice to leave Watch and read, all scenes Do fiction and real mean anything? Traversed ground; collision Essentials never bought Wasting minds, so soon Fervently, a frequent full moon Sun it finds, at night Looking down on earthly things, taken and gone

I Will 04:29
I’m so sorry Severed sanguine thoughts Trampled and distraught I’m so careless Passive and ashamed To the self I slave But you’re so selfless You indirectly wait For me just to take Everything The shyness that I feel and heed A worrisome disease Oh I’m so sorry For everything I do I will change for you A burning lantern The power in my heart A fruitful budding starts When I see A smile on your face Remission of disdain The tempered glow Of bronze reflected light unveils The world in which we share I will change in the things I do I will love every part of you I will hold you in my arms I will fight to all deathly harm I will care 'til the world it breaks I will do everything it takes I will change in the things I do I will love every part of you I will change in the things I do I will love every part of you

Loving my saddest dream Waking; now life it seems Showing all the things I lost Happy mind is soon far gone Loving is sad When losing it at last Hold it, it’s there and gone Wishing and forever long For the things you knew you’d lost Loving them has had its cost Taken away Taken away Watching the sky at dusk Taurus; those distant suns Light years gone from this home now Good men look back not so proud We’re taken away A new world comes to stay Distance, the wanter’s bane Helpless, so far away All the things you thought you had Loneliness infests the man Wake up each day Wish to fall away

Bensalem 06:05
Don’t explain all the things that you want us to know Other times, and Mechthild, and the things of the future Praise and love, all your doves, all these mad ideas of progress Then in prime hypocrisy, there’s that sad day in August Oh the end, far away, monastic men of the grave Royal walks far from home, New Atlantis, bye Bensalem Holy heart you melt for us, but what madness waits the sinner Selfishness; can’t respect all the things we are promised Holy heart, you melt in quiet fever And we know that you won’t believe us Full neglect of the pages written Congregate in our flawless reason Call us back a final time, the heavens wait, and nothing takes me back to the wretched earthly place where I can’t speak, and oh my heart - it will always break over you Bringer of utopia, a songbird sings that nothing takes me back to the wretched earthly mind I had where I was never right, and my body was a temple of the sadness that I knew A brittle stone palace, oh this monastery collapses on you Thousands of these wasted years creating all the luxuries that we love; all the wars of world’s past and conquests and this shedded blood - but in my selfish state I see only what I want Call me back a final time, the heavens wait, so nothing takes me back to this wretched earthly place where I can’t speak, and oh my heart - it will always break over you A pedal to the dust became the crux, now out of view
