1.	the first apparition (free) 01:49	lyrics	download
prince siddhartha wandered from his chambers, curious again. held the hands of the aged man. suddenly he knew pain. what if I said that I had seen beyond your palace walls? my eyes are wide, i'd like to hide but now i've seen it all

oh brother where am i? bathing in the light? oh brother where am i? sitting at your right
3.	west (unfinished) (free) 04:28	lyrics	download
there it goes, the last of my interest in saving face. here it comes, penultimate push to leave this place. to whom do I owe the credit for finding all of the strength within? couldn’t be me, the same one who almost let trepidation win. can you be known just by sitting in rooms so quietly? don’t wanna be remembered for living my life so piously. i wanna drive West and never ever ever look back. i wanna drive West and never ever ever look back but till then, I’ll daydream. oh lately I’ve been missing for forest for the trees. so easy to...if you’re looking down it’s all you see. my tethers are fraying. never been lighter. wasted my wishes on a gale. My lungs are swollen now with cold air. i am the wind in my sails. what have I learned just from driving the same old routes home? i've watched them change, yet I can’t help but feel that neither of us have grown. i wanna drive West, and not shed a tear when I’m lost. i wanna drive West, and not shed a tear when I’m lost cause the prodigal navigator is always found
