Tie me up, tie me up tightly but don't, don't, don't stop my ears dreams of you thrill me nightly whadda ya say we make them real? I can't stop you if you want to come to me oh come to me Oh siren, sing your song sing it loud, sing it all night long Oh siren, sing your song I'm strong enough, I'm strong enough Tie me up, tie me up tightly and we'll see if I survive oh your touch strikes like lightning and I've never been so alive I'm powerless to resist oh sing for me oh ecstasy Oh siren, sing your song sing it loud, sing it all night long Oh siren, sing your song I'm strong enough, I'm strong enough

Cartographer 04:38
I could be your cartographer I could sail into your endless seas I could go through uncharted waters You could be my greatest discovery I could be your cartographer I could climb anything in my way I will find your furthest reaches and make them mine by the light of the day I have been known and I know that you're a new world I will be your cartographer through the nights the stars be my guide and lead me home with tales of wonder I'll whisper when we're laying side by side I will be your cartographer through the unknown unseen unheard as we go along together unfolding to the last spoken word I have been known and I know that you're a new world
3.
A thousand glittering lights pointing in every direction beaming through the night if I could find just one that rang out true I'd set sail right into that star and I'd go further and further and further and further and further and further and further up A billion beckoning hearts give me the one discontented in the dark no, we'll not be anchored forever no, we'll transcend all we are and we'll go further and further and further and further and further and further and further up
4.
I know you feel trapped in the mouse wheel in the ant hill the menial I know that you're tired of the red tape of the suitcase that we can never seems to get unpacked but keep one thing in mind you and I are going to die and that stuff won't have mattered at all so dance every chance you get and see the sun before it sets and when it does look up at the stars count them if you can there may not be a second chance I know that you're down on the world and on love and God and everything in between but you're beautiful and life's meaningful if you'll just decide what it means but keep one thing in mind you and I are going to die and that stuff won't have mattered at all so dance every chance you get and see the sun before it sets and when it does look up at the stars count them if you can there may not be a second chance so dance so dance oh we rise, and oh we set oh we rise, and oh we set

Stay Tonight 04:51
Draw my fingers on your spine press my lips against your moonlit side just say that I can stay tonight Hold you here dizzy on form and line soft lights skin diffused speak peace over night Drag your nails across my skull bodies tremble in the ebb and flow light plays through the window shade where long lines lay Hold me here Dizzy on form and line soft lights skin diffused speak peace over night just say that I can stay tonight
6.
Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts What is it to be alive? What is it to pass in the night? A stranger, stranger story than I could have ever told What is it to believe? What is it to cease to be? Therein lies the mystery of it all Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts
