Sometimes I feel I’m still a child
Looking for the arms
Arms of a mother
Sometimes I feel I’m running wild
Looking for the heartbeat of another
Heart of another
Somebody to tell me
Keep going
I am still a work in progress
Don’t take me for a mess
I’m not a mess
Everybody wants a cure
Everybody wants to know
There’s something more, something for sure
And I think we can find it
If we keep going
Keep going
We’ll find a cure, we’ll find a cure
We’ll find a cure for it
We’ll find a cure, we’ll find a cure
We’ll find a cure and fix this
I wanna know what you feel
Just keep going
Keep going
Just keep going
Sometimes I feel I’m still a child
Looking for the arms
Arms of a mother

Looking For The People
02:26

I’ve got my searchlight
Out here in the wild
How can I be the only one
I can see for miles
Looking for the people
It’s like I’m stuck in a circle
I’ll be running up behind myself soon
Don’t want to spar with the darkness
Gonna follow the moon
Looking for the people
Tell me I’m not sleeping
Are my bleary eyes telling lies
Something strange and beautiful is happening
Never seen a night so bright
Looks like it’s not the moon I’ve been following
Couldn’t dream this if I tried
It’s a billion other searchlights
Lighting up the sky
Look at all the people

I’m holding on
To the remaining days of summer
They always fly
Faster than a photograph
And I think it’s more than just the weather
The time I spend with you is just better
And there is nothing I would rather do
Than spend all my summer days with you
I like when you remind me
Of my favorite day of the year
Then in the dark of winter
You say the days will only grow from here
And I think it’s more than just the weather
The time I spend with you is just better
And there is nothing I would rather do
Than spend all my winter days with you
And there is nothing I would rather do

Artificial Sunlight
03:59
|

|
I keep my peripherals inside
Of these heart shaped shades
But you slip through the sidelines
And flicker in and out of frame
So, I soften the filters
And I convolute the sound
I see what I pretend to see
And edit as I go along
When the truth hurts, just tell me lies
Another take, another rewrite
When the truth hurts, just tell me lies
Give me your artificial sunlight
Well, I’ll keep making this movie
The backdrop to another place
I’ll be what I pretend to be
Let’s shoot the scene, cut to the chase
When the truth hurts, just tell me lies
Another take, one more rewrite
When the truth hurts, just tell me lies
Give me your artificial sunlight
I’ll shine it on something simple
Something beautiful
Something real

Blue Moon Diamond

Stay with me for now
Hidden in the plainest sight
There you are, there you are
As if I were blinded by your light
There you are, and here we go
Now as we rise from the bottom of the sea
Those deep ocean eyes look so familiar to me
The rough arrives, the rough arrives
Do all I can to make it right
I know that you’ve seen everything
With those faraway, faraway eyes
Lost among the many
Found among the rare
Until the smallest of infinities
I dream that you could stay right here
So, stay with me for now
Until they call you home
Nothing will ever shine brighter
Than my blue moon diamond
My diamond
Can’t see light without the shade
So they say, oh, so they say
Like a precious stone, we’ll always glow
A love that’s love, not fade away
Found among the many
Now we’ve made it to the shore
Until the smallest of infinities
I dream that you will never go
So, stay with me for now
Until they call you home
Oh, nothing will ever shine brighter
Than my blue moon diamond
My diamond

DJ, Set Me Free
03:15
|

I’ve got a chain of cans around my leg
Keeps reminding me what to forget
I’ve got a mob of pictures chasing me
Saying “don’t look”, but it’s all I see
Looking for a different kind of noise
Maybe the sound of someone else’s voice
So, I’m turning up the radio
As loud as it can go
Too quiet to sleep
A thousand whispers make a scream
I twist and shout
Only one thing’s gonna save me now
Turn it up, play it louder
Turn it up, drown the crowd out
Want to move the static, turn the dial
And try to find a voice inside
To turn the table and speak to me
Oh, DJ, set me free
Let me try to help you break the chain
With tables turned I know you’d do the same
And when everything is going wrong
I’ll play your favorite song
Too quiet to sleep
A thousand whispers make a scream
Let’s twist and shout
Only one thing’s gonna save us now
Turn it up, play it louder
Turn it up, drown the crowd out
Turn the radio louder now
Turn the radio louder now
Just a little bit louder now
Turn it up
Until I break the chain
The noise runs through my veins
It’s time to break the chain
And turn it up

The mirror ball sparks like the sun on the sea
Casts a spell with its ghosts of 1001 bees
And the music is loud
Here we are in the crowd
But it feels like it’s just you and me
Dance close to me
Like innocent lovers
With nowhere to be
Let’s hold on to tonight while the stars are aligned
Isn’t it strange it could change anytime
While we decide what to do with our lives
Let’s hold on, let’s hold on
And dance close to me
Like innocent lovers
With nowhere to be
As long as we just hit rewind
Freeze the frame, pause the line
We’ll never see the way it ends
Let’s never see the way it ends
Let’s keep on dancing while we can
Before you and I testify and are made to stand tall
Before a justice supreme overriding it all
Before distance is the criminal and time is the crime
Before the last call, before the last call
Dance close to me
Like innocent lovers
Dance close to me
‘Cause innocent lovers
Have nowhere to be

Behind The Truth

Push
Keep my peripherals inside
Of these heart shaped shades
Inside
Flicker in and out of frame
Behind the truth
Behind the truth is where you lie
I see what I pretend to see
Flicker in and out of frame
Behind the truth
Behind the truth is where you lie
Behind the truth
Soften
Shaped shades
Inside
Flicker in and out of frame
Behind the truth, behind the truth
Behind the truth is where you lie
Behind the truth

I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone.
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies.
I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's going to be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Bright bright bright bright bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sunshiny day.
Bright bright bright bright bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sunshiny day

The Fleeting Light of Impermanence
by The Appleseed Cast
supported by 8 fans who also own “A Billion Searchlights”
I've been listening to The Appleseed Cast for close to 20 years and this whole album just connected with me on a fundamental level in a similar way that the 1st time I listened to Mare Vitalis did when I was a teenager. From start to finish I have enjoyed this album and it lives in my daily playlist in its entirety.
