1. Leaving my Old Shell
For once I'm packed the night before
These suitcases could probably take some more
But that isn't the reason I'm leaving
Behind all these boxes of carefully arranged memories
And the flowers drying behind the door

I'm too used to this home and what it means to me
I'm so tired of the sunset, I want a sunrise to see

Kiss me goodbye for I can't dance here
Life moves on and becomes a tear
Trickling down the cheeks of every face
So take all these stars and shells I've collected for so long
I'm filling my pockets no longer with fear

2. Chasm
Good morning my friend
When did I last see you?
I think it was down by the bridge
Where broken eyes go to mend
Where we laugh with the fool

Sometimes I wonder what happened to the games we played
In the smoky air of the roaring night
Now I wonder - have you learned about
What we spoke of that day?

Can you remember when we stood in the crowd
Gazing into the eyes of the singer
Believing the songs were for us
We were none the wiser

Good night my friend
When will I next see you?
I hope it will be across the bridge
With no more broken eyes to mend
Where we'll still laugh with the fool.
