Holding Pattern (Single/Video Edit)
Feeling alone once again
Cold dark grey dark swirl
Monster – meet your maker
It’s plain they’re one and the same
Hold on / Hold on / Hold on….
Feel the waves rush in
The senders are sending once again
There’s no (no) way out now
Forward and back again
Hold on / Hold on / Hold on….
Shhh….
let the city stay silent
it only recalls past memories
whenever it shudders
so let there be no movement
only peace
and silence
let me dream of things beyond this city
of other times
and better days
only when the city’s silent
can I begin to get away
Shhh….
the hurt begins again
the noise begins again
Watch the pyramids dissolve light a match and pray...
Hold on / Hold on / Hold on….

Distant Hearts (Alternate Version)
Upstate
on the highway I’m driving
driving through the mountains
hoping they are happy
hoping they are well
I see
distant hearts are burning
distant hearts are burning
watch that light ahead
What’s ‘round every corner
it’s glowing
feel the heart heat,
it’s growing
spirits in the air
spirits in the air
I see
distant hearts are burning
distant hearts are burning
watch that light ahead
Passing through the fields
over top the valleys
hoping they are happy
hoping they are well
I see
distant hearts are burning
distant hearts are burning
watch that light ahead
Yes, upstate
on the highway I’m driving
driving through the mountains
watch that light ahead
watch that light ahead
I see
distant hearts are burning
forgotten friends are yearning
history pages turning
old memories churning
and distant hearts are burning….

Sad July (Alternate Version)
Sad July
I should have seen it coming
say good-bye
when all the world is loving
sunshine coming on down
sunshine coming on down
sunshine coming on
down…

Holding Pattern (Extended Version)
Feeling alone once again
Cold dark grey dark swirl
Monster – meet your maker
It’s plain they’re one and the same
Hold on / Hold on / Hold on….
Feel the waves rush in
The senders are sending once again
There’s no (no) way out now
Forward and back again
Hold on / Hold on / Hold on….
Shhh….
let the city stay silent
it only recalls past memories
whenever it shudders
so let there be no movement
only peace
and silence
let me dream of things beyond this city
of other times
and better days
only when the city’s silent
can I begin to get away
Stop for a minute
think for a minute
a certain shiver
or maybe something deeper
a certain shudder
or maybe something other
A movement towards silence
A movement ever closer
What emerges from this strange light?
Shhh….
the hurt begins again
the noise begins again
Watch the pyramids dissolve light a match and pray...
Hold on / Hold on / Hold on….
