Floating in the water I’m lost within the tide I’m calling out for my brother The currents getting stronger Its getting hard to breath I’m worried I’ll be swept under If you’re lost, follow me If you’re lost, follow me I’ll be your beacon, beacon Be your beacon, beacon Yeah I’ll be your beacon, beacon Be your beacon, beacon Yeah My friend, I will save you Just give me your hand Don’t ever say that you are through Yeah, the road is long I’ve been in your shoes But these days, we got to march on If you’re lost, follow me If you’re lost, follow me I’ll be your beacon, beacon Be your beacon, beacon Yeah I’ll be your beacon, beacon Be your beacon, beacon Yeah If you’re lost, follow me If you’re lost, follow me I’ll be your beacon, beacon Be your beacon, beacon Yeah I’ll be your beacon, beacon Be your beacon, beacon Yeah

Lost in thought LACMA Dazed by a 60s Ruscha Old dreams, we’re starring into space Counting down The ticking clock Holding our breath till lift off In a blink, we’re floating in the stars Far away from home Where the path is dark You’re losing sight of who you are But its alright with me In a burst of light A flash in the sky Yeah, I lost my sense of time As we drift into the storm Drift into the storm Float on down Now back to earth Searching for lessons to learn Or maybe theres nothing beyond the frame Like a rose It is what it is A potent, blunt spirit Its a beauty thats stands on its own Far away from home Where the path is dark You’re losing sight of who you are But its alright with me In a burst of light A flash in the sky Yeah, I lost my sense of time As we drift into the storm Drift into the storm Far away from home Where the path is dark You’re losing sight of who you are But its alright with me In a burst of light A flash in the sky Yeah, I lost my sense of time As we drift into the storm Drift into the storm

Anna 04:06
lyrics

The sun reflects off the spring time rain It burnt your eyes, but its somehow worth the pain Don’t tell me that you’re doing this for you You spent the winter all wrapped in sheets Trying to think of what you wanna be Don’t tell me that you always told the truth Take all the time you need sweet Anna Know theres no shame in growing old Everywhere you go these a growing umbra For some it shines, but it isn’t gold You moved away from your home You’re twenty-five and still the worlds unknown Thought of flying makes your wings turn to glass On the train theres wandering eyes And you’re afraid of whats inside his mind You can’t keep your head down forever Take all the time you need sweet Anna Know theres no shame in growing old Everywhere you go these a growing umbra For some it shines, but it isn’t gold

Costa Rica 03:57
lyrics

How far you’ve come From where you used to be You were just a little apple Hanging from the tree Too long its been From when I used to sit there I would write those silly stories At dusk in the summer air I would dream up some crazy idea Of a girl out in Costa Rica With her hair all made Into brilliant braids And skin soft as silk March on little soldier March off into the sea Follow your given orders Don’t care if you agree But if you see you your friend Run for a better life Would you raise your arms Or turn a blind eye? Won’t you meet me outside the gala? On the white shores of Costa Rica We will spend these days By calmer waves And leave the past behind But now you’ve grown You got your wife and your kids at home The future you face You’ve got too much to leave this place And I will understand If you can’t leave your homeland For this fantasy Now I live in the flora fauna In the jungle of Costa Rica All the dogs they howl As we dance around The stars late at night How far I’ve come From where I used to be I was just a little apple hanging from the tree

Tell me, friend Can you hear the wind blow Outside your door Or is the music too loud? It’s weird to think That after all this Time we have spent We still don’t have clue Of where to go Of what to know Or telling right from wrong Is that the point of all this? Is that the point of all this? We spend these days entangled in Conceived ideas and time Trying to find a way out Trying to find a way out When summer flows Through the city It fills my lungs And puts my worry to end Theres something about The way the trees move That makes me smile The simple sway of branches What a gift To be adrift A young blood alive today Make of it what you will Make of it what you will I should smile For a million miles Before my hair turns gray Enjoy it while you can Enjoy it while you can Every broken hearts And old bouquet Know tomorrow is soon to start These are the days These are the days (4x)
