PRELUDE

Dan Prindle: Keyboard, Programming

[INSTRUMENTAL]


DAZED

Dan Prindle: Voice, Electric Guitar, Bass

Lee Sylvestre: Electric Guitar

Tony Parlapiano: Keyboard

Bryan Kelly: Drums

The taste of forever, like the smell of surrender

The taste of the ending, not so sweet as the spending

The taste of tomorrow, like the smell of our sorrow

When it is just too easy to set it all aside

And get on with the getting on of the passing of time

Maybe these days things have changed in a way

Maybe we’ve dazed, maybe we’ve changed in a way

Maybe these days, maybe we’ve changed

Maybe we’ve dazed, maybe we’ve changed

The taste of forever, like the smell of surrender

The wait for the ending, starts when we give up on mending

That day will be telling, when hope isn’t selling

When it is just too easy to set it all aside

And get on with the getting on of the passing of time

Maybe these days things have changed in a way

Maybe we’ve dazed, maybe we’ve changed in a way

Maybe these days, maybe we’ve changed

Maybe we’ve dazed, maybe we’ve changed

FAMOUS

Dan Prindle: Voice, Keyboard, Bass

Lee Sylvestre: Electric Guitar

Bryan Kelly: Drums

Every morning wake up try to remind

Not to linger too long on the things in the mind

Not to over-think it that just makes you blind

When you stop looking it’s amazing what you find

There is only now

We are not here to make ourselves remembered

We are not here to live on when we die

We will forget in the long time till forever

Everyone who’s ever been for all of time

When the closing day breathes its last and fades away

And we’ve all heard everything everyone has to say

We bear down hard on every penstroke every single day

Can anyone still see what a faded mark we’ve made?

There is only now

We are not here to make ourselves remembered

We are not here to live on when we die

We will forget in the long time till forever

Everyone who’s ever been for all of time

OLD BONES

Dan Prindle: Voice, Bass

Lee Sylvestre: Electric Guitar

Tony Parlapiano: Keyboard

Bryan Kelly: Drums

My aching bones

foretold of rain

The great clouds weep

and bring life again

The feeling within releases me

We earned a bit

and learned the cost.

Fought noble wars

with the moon and lost

But moving on its no longer me

I do it for her.

I do it for her.

I do this for her.

All this for her.

For these old bones

You always were

The only one,

My “she” and “her”

And moving on its you and me

Through the years

As we’ll grow

And as we’ll learn

Its all to know

The feeling within will always be

I do it for her.

I do it for her.

I do this for her.

All this for her.

My aching bones

foretold the rain

The great clouds wept

and brought life again

And the feeling within will always be

TALKING FAILS

Dan Prindle: Voice, Acoustic Guitar, Bass

Lee Sylvestre: Electric Guitar

Tony Parlapiano: Keyboard

Bryan Kelly: Drums

Talking fails.

All I wanted was to show you light and I failed.

Talking fails.

All I wanted was to show you light,

To break you free out from this night,

To stand beside you in this fight and I failed.

If you decided you would stay,

And the weather never changed,

And all you thought it would be fades,

And everything just stays the same,

If you decided you would stay,

And the weather never changed,

Then I would be to blame.

And the talking fails.

It’s true I don’t know much about it

And I can’t help you sort it out

I’ll stand beside you, scream and shout, and…

And the talking fails.

I never ran away so far

Or looked for shelter in someone’s arms

I stood beside you, tried so hard and I failed.

If you decided you would stay,

And the weather never changed,

And all you thought it would be fades,

And everything just stays the same,

If you decided you would stay,

And the weather never changed,

Then I would be to blame.

Break free. Don’t shake me

To wake me. Go be

And see without me.

If you decided you would stay,

And the weather never changed,

And all you thought it would be fades,

And everything just stays the same,

If you decided you would stay,

And the weather never changed,

Then I would be to blame.

LET YOU IN

Dan Prindle: Voice, Bass, Cello

Ryan Bowman: Electric Guitar

Tony Parlapiano: Keyboard

Bryan Kelly: Drums

We spend so much time denying what is true

Just because it might be the harder thing to do.

We spend so much time attached to what has been

When everything will always be only what it is.

I just want to let you in,

But there’s no room here for me.

I spend so much time wrapped up in what will be

Convinced that it will never live up to what I’ve dreamed

I fought with this before. I know it all so well.

But I can’t lay it all on you now. Can’t even lay it on myself.

I just want to let you in,

But there’s no room here for me.

DROWNING

Dan Prindle: Voice, Acoustic Guitar, Bass

John Howland: Lap Steel

Lee Sylvestre: Electric Guitar

Tony Parlapiano: Keyboard

Bryan Kelly: Drums

Across the sea

Where you wait for me

With all the things that I should see

Across the sea

Will you wait for me?

Across the sea

The price that I have paid

If only you had stayed

If it begins to fade

Will you wait for me?

Across the sea

You’re calling out to me

I just could not be

Everything you need

Will you wait for me?

Across the sea

The price we all have paid

But now we’re all the right way

Is it too late?

Will it come for me?

Across the sea

How can it be

The biggest space I’ve ever seen

Becomes an even greater thing

Will it come for me?

DON’T

Dan Prindle: Voice, Acoustic Guitar, Bass

Lee Sylvestre: Electric Guitar

Tony Parlapiano: Keyboard

Bryan Kelly: Drums

We may try to find

A reason to turn blind

To the ties that bind

I wait here every day

For it to go away

And not lead me astray

One day this will be past

It could never last

I won’t even ask

But, If I turn to you

Don’t hide your eyes

Don’t say goodnight

Don’t do what’s right

Don’t walk away

But if you stay

I can’t do what’s right

I am more afraid

With the mystery away

Now that it’s been said

Maybe lose control

Or grow a bit too bold

Before we both grow old

Until one day coming home

To everything you’ve known

You find yourself alone

But, If I turn to you

Don’t hide your eyes

Don’t say goodnight

Don’t do what’s right

Don’t walk away

But if you stay

I can’t do what’s right

IT IS YOU

Dan Prindle: Voice, Bass

Lee Sylvestre: Electric Guitar

Tony Parlapiano: Keyboard

Bryan Kelly: Drums

After everything I’ve done for me

What have I done for you?

After everything it’s so plain to see

What have I done for you?

In the end it hits me differently

What have I done for you?

After everything I’ve done for me

What have I done for you?

It is you I have searched for

and now, though my search, it is done,

It is you I will search for

for lifetimes to come

My whole life’s not long enough

My body’s not strong enough

I just could not be enough

If I gave my life to you

It is you I have searched for

and now, though my search, it is done,

It is you I will search for

for lifetimes to come

It is time

How was I so blind to think that there was a choice or it was mine

It is time

When I finally end this search of mine

It is you I have searched for

and now, though my search, it is done,

It is you I will search for

for lifetimes to come

IN THE DRIVING RAIN

Dan Prindle: Voice, Bass

Alan Veniscofsky: Electric Guitar

Ryan Bowman: Electric Guitar

Bryan Kelly: Drums

Kurt Rinaldi: Percussion

In the Driving Rain

All the love we made

Thrust the window pane

Down in heavy drops

Poured in every lane

Angular and dense

Through the night it came

We go driving through the rain

Long enough to forget about

In the driving rain

Fell the answer clear

From a violent drain

We got off on this

In our surmounting pain

Angular and dense

Through the night it came

We go driving through the rain

Long enough to forget about

In the driving rain

Breath on fingerprints

Did reveal Your Name

Not an angel wing

But a sign the same

In the driving rain

In the driving rain

We could see a light

From a distant flame

But distinguished when

We arrived in vain

In the driving rain

WATER AND WINE

Dan Prindle: Voice, Acoustic Guitar, Bass

Lee Sylvestre: Electric Guitar

Tony Parlapiano: Keyboard

Bryan Kelly: Drums

I’m sorry that you never met your brother

Sorry that you never knew your mother

Maybe someday you will come to meet us

Maybe someday joyfully you’ll greet us

Maybe I will know your name

But until that day

My water can stay water

And my wine can stay wine

Just tell me that was not my only daughter

Tell me she will come to me in time

I’m sorry ’cause your mother felt she knew you

I’m sorry that I did not know what to do

Maybe in time I will come to meet you

Maybe in time joyfully I’ll greet you

Maybe I will know your name

But until that day

My water can stay water

And my wine can stay wine

Just tell me that was not my only daughter

Tell me she will come to me in time

VICTORY

Dan Prindle: Voice, Bass

Lee Sylvestre: Electric Guitar

Tony Parlapiano: Keyboard

Bryan Kelly: Drums

Waiting for a fix

When the fix is in

Showed me that the wait is over

When the fix is in

What are a few small victories

in the face of the tide?

What are a few small victories?

Will they hold back the tide?

Step up to the plate

Go it all alone

Help won’t come the wait is over

When the fix is in

What are a few small victories

in the face of the tide?

What are a few small victories?

Will they hold back the tide?

I have seen that sunlight shine hope across a new day.

But I have seen that sunlight bring the dread of dawn in the same way.

There is nothing hopeful when you feel that you are falling

With the break of day calling.

LAND

Dan Prindle: Voice, Keyboard, Bass, Programming

Here beyond your will?

I doubt it still.

Your smile’s been a little too wide for grief.

Unhook the binds,

The ripened rhines,

And shed them as you can for a relief.

You Can Land

Where You Can

You Can Land

Where you Can

Draw Your Lines

In The Sand

Learn To Stand

Where You Can

Whatever the face

You choose to place

We have seen through it like a telescope.

And in those stars

Between the bars

I’ve left you and I the gift of higher hope.

You can land

Where you can

You can land

Where you can

Draw your lines

In the sand

Learn to stand

Where you can

You can land

Where you can

You can land

Where you can

Learn to stand

Where you land

Learn to stand

Where you land

WELCOME

Dan Prindle: Acoustic Guitar, Voice

I know it’s bright here

And I know it’s cold

Everything seems to shock you

But you’re not alone

These are my arms

This is your home

You have no words to tell it

But somehow you know

These are my arms

First times aren’t so easy

But as time unfolds

You will know for certain

That you are not alone

These are my arms

This is your home

You have no words to tell it

But somehow you know

These are my arms

I know that it’s unlike

Anything you’ve ever known

But let me be the first to say,

Anyway, Welcome home.

These are my arms

This is your home

You have no words to tell it

But somehow you know

These are my arms
