Broken
Now it’s broken
And you just can’t bring it back
Now it’s broken
And you just can’t bring it back
Everything has its limits
There’s a lot that we can take
But sometimes a single action
Causes us to break
Try to look the other way
Try to find the words to say
These events can't be spun
The damage has been done
You can't bring it back
Most of all I regret
Not letting go of the past
It will never be the same
But we move on at last
Now it’s broken
And you just can’t bring it back
Now it’s broken
And you just can’t bring it back

Losing Touch
04:01

Losing Touch
We connect through the void's invisible wires
A command, a location or our deepest desires
Hands to speak
Our hands grow weak
Talking with hands
Losing touch
The speed of thought
The speed of light
I'm losing touch...
We harnessed the wind
We banished the night
I'm losing touch...
Hands to speak
Our hands grow weak
Talking with hands
Losing touch
These hands that made factories
These hands that laid rail
These hands are retired to virtual mail
I'm losing touch...
Hands to speak
Our hands grow weak
Talking with hands
Losing touch
No silent glance
No courtship dance
We're losing touch
The safety of distance
Without taking a chance
Hands to speak
Our hands grow weak
Talking with hands
Losing touch
We're so out of touch...
We're losing touch.
Music and Lyrics by Chuck Cote.

Green Eyes
How do you know?
When you’ve found the one
Is there a way to prove?
That your search is done
Feelings I can’t disguise
My heart beats fast
When I see your green eyes
Love is hard to explain
Is it in the heart, or in the brain?
Is it simple chemistry?
Is it luck or destiny?
Feelings I can’t disguise ...
My heart beats fast
When I see your green eyes
How do you know?
When you've found the one
So many years since we first met
Our feelings ebb and flow like tides
Even now a simple glance
The same feelings I can't deny
Feelings I can’t disguise ...
My heart beats fast
When I see your green eyes
Is it luck or destiny?
Music and Lyrics by Chuck Cote.

Quiet Mind
03:31
|

Quiet Mind
The stillness
It easily escapes
Our minds want to move
Want to measure, want to prove
Chaos and confusion
Are just an illusion
I need to find my quiet mind...
The chaos we feel is perceived
We create what we believe
Our thoughts control
What we receive
Chaos and confusion
Are just an illusion
I need to find my quiet mind...
Chaos and confusion
Are just an illusion
The universe was designed
By the Quiet Mind
I need to find my quiet mind...
My quiet mind
My quiet mind

The Wild
03:32

The Wild
The deer turned and stared
The sound of shoes and paws
Triggered a response
Its instincts made it pause
We live outside the wild...
The land we inhabit
Is merely on loan
The wild will reclaim it
And everything we’ve sewn
The border of our land
A boundary between
The present and the past
The tamed and the extreme
We live outside the wild...
The land we inhabit
Is merely on loan
The wild will reclaim it
And everything we’ve sewn
On the coldest winter nights
I see the panes of glass
I thank those who had vision
They accepted their mission
The land that we inhabit
Is merely on loan
The wild will reclaim it
And everything we’ve sewn
We live outside the wild
We live outside the wild...

Earthbound
03:16
|

Earthbound
Made of star dust
Water. Metal. Rust.
Wood and stone
Flesh and bone
I’m earthbound...
This sphere is home
Beneath the blue dome
So paper thin
A fragile skin
I’m earthbound...
We must live
We must die
Nothing is forever
Except sea and sky
I’m earthbound...
We must live
We must live

Journey

Journey
Point to point
We keep moving
From mundane tasks
Or theories proving
Our journey has no beginning
Our journey has no end
A journey for the heart
A journey for the mind
We run to reach our goals
Or leave the past behind
Our journey has no beginning
Our journey has no end
Sometimes we can't decide
Which path we should take
There’s no perfect answer
For every move we make
Our journey has no beginning
Our journey has no end
Chaotic interactions
Or part of a master plan
From a single cell
To a thinking man
Our journey has no beginning
Our journey has no end
Music and Lyrics by Chuck Cote.

Haunts

Haunts
A glimpse of the past
A sight or a smell
The sorrow and joyful
The places we dwell
Don’t forget me
I won’t forget you
Don’t forget me
I won’t forget you
A note, a picture
A trace of the past
The roots of our trees
Some vanish, some last
Don’t forget me
I won’t forget you
Don’t forget me
I won’t forget you
We need to remember
We need to forget
Our triumphs, our failures
Those things we regret
Don’t forget me
I won’t forget you
Don’t forget me
I won’t forget you
We need to remember
We need to forget

Morning Commute

Morning Commute
Feel the wheel in my grasp
The simple act of continuing
As simple as riding the road
To the target ahead
Temptation and rationalization
Waiting to press the gas
Break through the glass
I know I won't miss the target
But I still turn
Straight and true
To what’s inside of you
The path is clear
We can’t stay here
Straight and true
Sitting in a staff meeting
Plastic plants and vinyl seating
Empty eyes, well chosen lies
Taking notes not worth reading
Bodies sit in warm quick sand
Counting down time
Until the end
Straight and true
To what’s inside of you
The path is clear
We can’t stay here
Straight and true
Doubt and fear
I always veer
Tomorrow will be different
cause I won't stop
Dreams and aspirations like treasure
Trapped in a leaking hold
Sinking in the darkness
Silent and cold
The sun is getting lower
But there’s still some light
Orange and Glowing
Before the night
Straight and true
To what’s inside of you
The path is clear
We can’t stay here
Straight and true
Music and Lyrics by Chuck Cote.

Perception
03:25

Perception
Truth or fiction
It's not always clear
People only say
What they want you to hear
What is real?
What is real?
Adjust the reception
Change your perception
Some see black and white
Some see gray
Some are willing to fight
Over words we say
What is real?
What is real?
Adjust the reception
Change your perception
Some use words
To control or deceive
But we’re all free
By how we perceive
Adjust the reception
Change your perception
Music and Lyrics by Chuck Cote.

Static
03:56

Static
The sound of the stars
Electrically charged
From the smallest spark
To lightning’s arc
Tune out the static...
I try to reach you
But the spark's too strong
I try to hear you
But the frequency is wrong
The static can collect
The potential to disrupt
The way we connect
The message can get corrupt
Tune out the static...
I try to reach you
But the spark's too strong
I try to hear you
But the frequency's wrong
The sparks of life
Or the sound of space
The static is transformed
Without leaving a trace
Tune out the static...
I try to reach you
But the spark's too strong
I try to hear you
But the frequency's wrong
Tune out the static...
Music and Lyrics by Chuck Cote.

Day One
03:11
|

Day One
Just setting out
On the first day
Great expectations
Don’t know what will come my way
Now everything feels new
Like the first days of spring
Like the sun breaking through
Day one
You’ve made your choice
Day one
Go find your voice
They hold warning signs
To stay within the lines
You’ll surely fail
It doesn’t work this way
Misery loves company
You’ll have to stand alone
You’ll have to learn to walk again
Or slowly turn to stone
Day one
You’ve made your choice
Day one
Go find your voice
Don't turn around
Don't turn around
Day one
You’ve made your choice
Day one
Go find your voice
Day one
Don’t turn around
Day one
Don’t turn around
Music and Lyrics by Chuck Cote.
