Verse 1:
The road not taken is always the one that's brighter
Without reflection, both my shoulders feel much lighter
Decisions are temporary and life is anything but
So what's the point of looking back when it just keeps me in a rut?
And on the other side of time, horizons seek no compromise
Contingency is in disguise and time goes on that's no surprise
And all you are is what you do
and all the time that lays behind you is just nothing new
Chorus:
(Ah)
No sense of dwelling on what's over when you're always getting older
(Ooh)
There's no time for that all
Verse 2:
Do you see a darkness when you gaze at the night sky?
Or do you see the images of stars from times gone by?
The air I breathe is as temporary as me but I am still alive
And on the other side of time, I'm just a walking sacrifice
Flora, fauna, this device, a greater purpose shall suffice
And all of us are temporary dancers in a great and cosmic ballet
Chorus:
(Ah)
No sense of dwelling on what's over when you're always getting older
(Ooh)
There's no time for that all
Bridge/Outro:
And there's no time for that all
there's no time for that at all
there's no time for that at all (on the other side of time)
there's no time for that at all (on the other side of time)
there's no time for that at all (on the other side of time)
there's no time for that at all (on the other side of time)

Gaia

Verse 1:
If I wake up to see it was all just a dream
I'd still be divided by what it appears to be and what it means
So pull me down and hold me in
the darkness gets out, the light is thin
the changing circumstance is constant spin and it's always been like that
A tiny stage with billions of players
What if Hell's just the heat under the layers?
And heaven on Earth's just a denominator?
Illusions come and go while all the -
Chorus:
Grains of sand fall through the hourglass
And soon you'll understand that you are everything through space and time
Gaia
Verse:
If I wake up to shiver in the dark at least I'll know I've made a mark
it just has to be anything, anywhere
Chorus:
Grains of sand fall through the hourglass
And soon you'll understand that you are everything through space and time
Gaia's hands are just a place to stand
So let your mind expand through it all
And let your thoughts be free not without Gaia
(Ahh-ahh)
Without Gaia

Alpha Centauri

Verse 1:
In my mind, I go to any star I please
anywhere in space and time, traveler of the galaxies
The petty things may bring me down for a moment or maybe two
But when I'm realistic they're just so tiny and its the stars I look to
Existence is greater than you may know,
even if you're a snowflake amogst the snow
life isn't something that you owe
its an opportunity to see you're..
Chorus:
Part of it all, and I'm fine
Cosmically small, I don't mind
Further than the light from Alpha Centauri
You know you'll die, and you're fine
Life has no guidelines, it flies by,
Faster than the light from Alpha Centauri
Further than the light
Verse 2:
The atoms in your blood, the stars in the milky way
Everything is relative and it changes day-by-day
The foggy eyes, a clouded mind, the meaning that you hope to find
eternal size, one-of-a-kind, forever after the echo resides
And everything has led to everything else, it keeps on going
eternal fire lies on a torch and you carry it, maybe without knowing
Existence the greatest thing you know,
the beauty of you - a mountain of snow
Life is yours, never without woe
And the cosmos are flowing through you
Chorus:
Part of it all, and I'm fine
Cosmically small, I don't mind
Further than the light from Alpha Centauri
You know you'll die, and you're fine
Life has no guidelines, it flies by,
Faster than the light from Alpha Centauri
Further than the light

Verse 1:
I'm only a human and I'm lost in another dream
Where I'm surrounded by ideas but I'm still tearing at the seems and -
Chorus:
It's alright (x2)
Verse 2:
Distinguished achievements and accomplishments held high
Is it really up to us to decide who among us never really die?
Reflections like narcissus - a demonstration you need not find
The key resides inside a mirror behind a face that looks unkind and -
Chorus:
It's alright (x3)
Right??
Scattered images in Radiolight

Beyond The Cosmic Dark
04:37

VERSE1:
Like coreopsis without light,
I frequent changes often overnight
the beds I sleep in, the ships I sail
the waves and oceans of my dreams are frail
And while illusions come and illusions go,
the current, my nightmare, the undertow - its all fine
Theres always a way around it
Theres always a part of me
that has to pick up the pieces
the current decreases,
a trickyness to it all
CHORUS:
And far beyond
the cosmic dark
theres you.
(oo-oo)
VERSE2:
Daffodill on the edge of a knife,
the best of things, the shortest in life
and tempo-rarity's a great motivator
you earn your stripes so you can wear them later
and excuses are the clipping of the wing
to fly and to fall is to do anything - and its fine
to scatter yourself is to expand,
your field of view is just the eyes of you
and you can see what you need to
a circumstance to it all.
CHORUS:
And far beyond the cosmic dark, theres you
(oo-oo)
On the other side of time
A tiny stage with billions of players
the atoms in your blood
the stars in the milky way
reflections like narcissus
-its alright..
Far beyond the cosmic dark.
