Dusk turns to dawn In the wake of years to come We spend our breaths Without knowing where we're from. We are kings Building castles in the air With the hope that countless passers-by will stop mid-stride and stare. We are princes Next in line to take the throne Waiting for our turn, for our chance to hold our own. But we are fools With our heads among the clouds As the ages pass we place our bricks upon unsturdy ground And we are thieves To steal a glimpse of the unknown We act as though our lives are written down in stone Just as days pass by And time is slowly spent. Just like castles in the sky, Our lives are transient.

Stargazer 01:38
We look into the nighttime sky To learn the secrets stars belie We watch until they fall. To find the answers that we seek We sit and wait for them to speak. We do not feel them call... With our eyes pinned on the heavens We still make wishes on the stars Stargazers that we are...

Woven on the sun and moon With roving from the stars How can words alone convey the thoughts Carved from this very heart

Cometlight 03:34
In worlds of grey we search for black and white Or so we say... Our souls wont mend until we find the light. Until the end... Turn around, turn around, don't get caught up in the flow Let yourself come unwound Please just learn to let it go Don't look back, don't look back It's just bad for you, you know Can you hear, hear the sound - That you thought had come from home? New places must be found When there's nowhere else to go Don't look back, don't look back, Please just learn to let it go Can you hear it? Hear it in the rhythm of your pulse It beats faster Throbbing at the mem'ry that was lost in thoughts of past or present tenses. Making sense is just the start... Smiles like windows weather wand'ring hearts of lovers turning over in the night just like the rolling of the waves at highest tide on the beaches under starlight, under cover of the darkness which will one day seep into their father's graves. Turning up their nose at rumors that their lives were only specks of light in ever-fading ebbs and flows of luminance from heavens drifting out of touch with blues and greens of being waiting patiently below, so small, so soon to be forgotten, Screaming "Don't forget my name."

Huge thanks on Cometlight to John Petruzzelli for all his time spent re-mixing, re-programming the drums, assisting with vocal & cello recordings, and all the other jazz he did for that piece. Also, thanks to Matt Miller for supplying the live cello track. It sounds great thanks to both of you!
