Raindrops on a window, or at least I hear the sound Because my eyes are taken prisoner by another sight I found As the days tick of a journey pressed to fit a smaller time Than the moments that will linger in my mind Wheels that turn while windows burn the frost against the glass As the music blares to blind the glares of souls at crossing paths I am reaching, I am reaching for a sign And I’m frightened by the potency of this wine Simplicity Is eluding me Its what I told myself was best But something’s gone and laid simplicity to rest On a market road they pulled out from another time I am lost in conversation, as the sun begins its climb Down to just the right refraction to illuminate our lives And I throw a rope around it to freeze a moment I am never at a loss for words I never want for wit But these are foreign fabrics To make a foreign gown That I’m drawn to Early morning hazes keep me safe until I’m high Up above the clouds to look back down into a stunning eye That I‘m telling so much more than I had planned I am wondering, and suddenly can’t stand Simplicity I’d toss you free I was fine by your design Simplicity, I called you mine But now I’ve landed, and tossed you in the sea Circumstance is just a trance And when I wake, the miles could be gone

In Prague, they walk about In Prague, they sit I walked the streets of Prague For a raindrop full of wit Too bad to know it’s only water Your spires only stone In Prague, they’re dancing in the moonlight And I’m alone And the world will fall, or the world will see How each thing was meant to be. All the dangers new, how the time it flew But life went on, life goes on. In Prague I turned a corner Looking for someone I knew Something I hadn’t seen in minutes How the years they flew I turn my head up to the skyline I press my feet into the stone In Prague I finally found the answer Dancing alone That I might fall, if I can’t see How this city was built to be I was blinded right, by a finer light But your stone pathways gave me back my sight Oh you walk between two worlds The wistful old, and searing new Oh your bullet-ridden statues Remind me of how far you’ve come And prague... You might fall, before they see Your bridges crumble that rescued me But I will keep all your peaceful sleep And I’ll remember what you said to me And so, you’ll stay here Prague Cause’ you’re afraid to leave But if I’m passing through You can hitch a ride

How’s the view there, down in your cave? Do you really think it’s all that sweet? Well I’m here to tell you, my friend you could be saved, Because your dreams were not complete. It might hurt to know, But it’s time to go You might scream and shout, But you’ll find a way When voices say Come on up, Young Plato, and see the ugly light. You know it’s beautiful, when nothing here seems right. Your precious innocence, my friend you cannot save, So kick back, and have a laugh at those folks down in their cave Those pretty shadows dancing on the wall, Make you think your path is laid out straight. So what a nasty surprise to see how far you fall. Oh your foundations, how they’ll shake. Your life was such a charm, You though you could do no harm. So what a pain to know, But take a breath, Let it all flow, And come on up Young Plato, it’s time to say goodbye To grenadine and magazines that tell you you’re alright. I know it's funny watching idiots enjoy, But take some fucking pride my son, your heart's no more a toy. The choice is up to you, To join us if you dare. You’ll feel a fright, But only from this height. Pack your bags, get your things, we’re getting out of this town, Where people live their dreams in shades. So close your eyes, to the world that kept you down, Feel lighter as the sacharrine fades. And turn your eyes around, Away from this old ground. The scholars all await, So grab your scrolls, Claim your fate, And come on up Young Plato, you’ve seen the lovely light. It didn’t glow from down below, but up here its alright. You’ll be a scholar and a lover all in one, 'Cause you let you let your dreams hang out to dry up in the sun
