On The Ledge 05:56
ON THE LEDGE (Music by Angelo Pitone; Lyrics by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma) There are old bones in the valley of my thoughts Creaking out the answers that I just can't ignore anymore As I wait to see what's on the distant shore There are whispers in my mind, but I don't listen They come from ancient gods who left me long ago - now I'm alone And keep my gaze fixed on that distant shore I am poised to take the leap As the stones slide under me I can't wait until the mystery finally comes to me On the ledge, it feels so good That I can fly beyond the haunted dreams On the ledge, it feels so good It will be the place where I'll be safe and free Another self, another vision, Of who I am meant to be I'm on the ledge There are whispers in my mind, but I don't listen anymore The voices of ancient gods are far away from home So I keep my gaze fixed on that distant shore I am poised to take the leap As the stones slide under me I can't wait until the mystery finally comes to me On the ledge, it feels so good That I can fly beyond the haunted dreams On the ledge, it feels so good It will be the place where I'll be safe and free Another self, another vision, Of who I am meant to be I can fly beyond the thinning veil And tear it all asunder as I pass Yes, I know well that I can't fail Take just one more step towards the edge, I'm on the ledge, and it feels so good Now I can fly beyond the haunted dreams I'm on the ledge, and it feels so good It will be the place where I'll be safe and free Another self, another vision, Of who I am meant to be I'm on the ledge

Unbecoming 04:55
UNBECOMING (Music by Angelo Pitone; Lyrics by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma) I could sing a thousand tales Of love and loss, trust and betrayal, Of shining nights and shooting stars Birthed within the fiery void Of unbecoming Of unbecoming Voiceless, stories curl and flail Against the silence, make avowal To find expression, penetrate Slip through the tender narrow cracks Of unbecoming Of unbecoming In the light, such things are small Subsumed within the daily trials Yet come the night the spirit rails Against the silence heralding An unbecoming An unbecoming I could sing a thousand tales Against the silence of the night That slides across soft, narrow cracks Of unbecoming Of unbecoming Of unbecoming Of unbecoming In the light, such things are small Subsumed within the daily trials Yet come the night the spirit rails Against the silence heralding An unbecoming An unbecoming But in the quiet, the seeds unfurl, Push through the loamy depths, Prevail against the pressure of the soil That weighs so heavy, wayfaring towards a new becoming. In the light, such things are small, Subsumed within the daily trials Yet come the night the spirit rails Against the silence heralding An unbecoming An unbecoming In the light, such things are small, Subsumed within the daily trials Yet come the night the spirit rails Against the silence heralding An unbecoming An unbecoming

INTO THE SILENCE (Music by Angelo Pitone; Lyrics by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma) As evening cast its spell, the technicolor sky Transformed the day to night I felt the world subside and closed my eyes to light I wove a silken web from filaments of dreams I conjured visions of rebirth And felt the past absorbed within the sleeping earth Enfolded in the soft cocoon I stood and stretched and saw it melt away like a ghost Into the silence came, Thou, radiance sublime A thought, a seed, you've flown away, Blossomed within my mind As evening cast its spell, the colors in my life Transformed from black and white I felt the warmth of the sun, and now I'm fine Enfolded in the soft cocoon I stood and stretched and saw it melt away like a ghost Into the silence came, Thou, radiance sublime A thought, a seed, you've flown away, Blossomed within my mind Into the silence came, Thou, radiance sublime A thought, a seed, you've flown away Then I went back to shine I went back to shine

Emerge 04:25
EMERGE (Music by Angelo Pitone; Lyrics by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma) It's strange how things become so clear When everything looked out of place That emptiness was like a profound lake And its cold caress was beckoning to me To dive To dive To dive To dive As long as it's meant to be I'm here, and I'm alive And I breathe infinity I sing for my growth and change And all that went before Never mind, it's time to emerge And so, finally, I took the leap and found Such treasures that I have never known The spirit of darkness in the ground And the soul of life that still unfold In the light The light In the light The light As long as it's meant to be I'm here, and I'm alive And I breathe infinity I sing for my growth and change And all that went before Never mind, it's time to emerge As long as it's meant to be I'm here, and I'm alive And I breathe infinity I sing for my growth and change And all that went before Never mind, it's time to emerge Emerge Emerge
