Up a low lit street, to a blue lit room
Sits a wide eyed girl who resembles you
She might look just the same, moves her hair to hide the pain
The chosen one is far too numb to care at all
Will you change your mind?
If you don’t realize
It’s the end of you and I
These are wasted times, you have stumbled through
I’ve spent all of mine, watching over you
What I need is your voice, can’t you see you have a choice
If you return you have not learned, don’t ask me why
It’s the end of you and I
What of our chance, our fate, don’t let it slip away
One shot will spark a change in you
Aim at your heart, steady nerves, and let it fire away
Brighter days return for me and you

Even Jesus

You know he used to be king
A young man with the crown
Never knowing the feeling of being let down
The record told of a hero on the local scene
How quickly they have forgotten
How a hero is brave because he dreams
We can’t take back what now has been said
Wake up tonight and meet me I’m your distraction
I’ll be just like a ghost from former days
When the suns on the rise we will arrive at the mansion
Time is running down while we wait
So won’t you pray?
Take a little of my time, and I’ll turn you around
We are alone here, we are living, and we can’t be found
Do you need a distraction to save you now?
We are as old as we feel like, feel the joy that falls around you now
We can’t take back what now has been said
And if you could, then tell me when
Wake up tonight and meet me I’m your distraction
I’ll be just like a ghost from former days
When the suns on the rise we will arrive at the mansion
Time is running down while we wait
Wake up tonight and me your distraction
Kiss me like I’m the one that got away
When the suns on the rise we will arrive at the mansion
Time is running down while we wait
So won’t you pray?

The Lion

He turns to face the warmth of her
Remembers now what has occurred
What’s here at night is lost at dawn
What lives in dreams by mornings gone
All this life waiting for a quiet time
To leave behind a world so cold
He walks alone
May joy fill your heart, when we fall apart
Strangers we’ll become, burned out like the sun
All your life waiting for a quiet time
To leave behind a world so cold
He walks alone

I don’t hear you tonight, on and snow covered drive, where am I?
I can’t feel you within, there’s a hole where you been, the whole time
The bottle will not to get me through, lost within the sound with more to prove, calling out
Love, love the blinding
Love, love surround me now
We’re beaten, we’re broken, better now
You have fooled me before, thought that I’d known for sure, denied the signs, all lies
The night will bring a rush that leaves too soon, there is not a fix compares with you, still I try
Love, love the blinding
Love, love surround me now
I did not care for our slide, feel the memories of past lives, I did not see that when I say goodbye, I release what I can’t find
Love, love the blinding
Love, love surround me now
We’re beaten, we’re broken, better now
Try again love till when I run you down
It seems every morning that I’m losing ground

Fragile Mind
02:25

No more lies
It’s felt so wrong for far too long
Is what I’ve become all I truly am now?
We sleep in fear, of what’s to come
At night we escape, to where no one dare tells us where to go
For we the free have all we need
I’ll walk through the unknown, when I decide to say goodbye, to this fragile mind
All that I will need is here within my hands
And I don’t have to try to make you understand
It’s here within my hands

We Breathe In
02:33
|
|||
|
Dead in the water, you and I will not survive
Through taking orders, all from you
We breathe in
Move through the night
I hear them calling, you can tell them what you like
No more disorder, away I move
We breathe in
Move through the night
Once you were a chosen one
Now changed and forever gone
While you try to restore your old control, we breathe
I will not break

There's a light sliding through
Stays awhile in the room
My companion this night
What a mess we have made and now all that remains is the silence that binds
Eyes open, mind open
While the rest of this town sleeps
Thoughts that I left behind, now haunt me
Now the movement of trees
Like a hand in the breeze
How they taunt me unkind
Like a storm fed with waves
You have grown just the same
Here within me you hide
Eyes open, mind open
While the rest of this town sleeps
Thoughts that I left behind, now haunt me
A thousand doubts meant to pain
Will not drive me away
I have changed, re-engaged
I decide my own fate
I fight to free my mind, yet I can't sleep

Steelman
06:30
|

|
Here we stand not heading warnings
Here we stand now left behind
We deny our fear of falling
Walk like steelmen on the sky
Will we make it out alive?
Will we make it out alive?
Take a breath love though it feels like
There’s no air for you and I
Runaway on endless highways
Celebrate your fleeting life
Will we make it out alive?
Will we make it out alive?
These old roads are still home you see
In this valley, they will bury me
When all falls down, let it fall like rain
We’ll hold the weight
Will we make it out alive?
Will we make it out alive?
Brother give me strength to stand up
Mother sing me a song you‘ve made up
Father tell me where we’ll end up
Lover save me before we wake up
Brother give me strength to stand up
Mother sing me a song you‘ve made up
Father tell me where we’ll end up
Lover save me now

Crash of Waves

On the day we began I was touched by your hand
never more alive
In the halls of our lies, we were safe we survived
within our own minds
So don’t let them follow us down to where we hide
One last night, one only
One chance to taste what can’t be saved
One last time, with you only
Call out my name before the fall
If we stay here inside, only peace that we will find
just close the door
But you let them follow us down to where we hide
One last night, one only
One chance to taste what can’t be saved
One last time, with you only
Call out my name before the fall
You know we were meant to fly
One last night, one only
One chance to taste what can’t be saved
One last time, with you only
Call out my name before the fall

One in Three

Watch the world begin, where we’re free from sin, for another try
Feel the cooling wind, run across our skin from Atlantic skies
Won’t you save me?
Embrace me
There will be no ending
How we’ve nearly drowned
There will be no more night swelled with our pride
Now that we can finally breathe
We are healing, there is more to see
Under black skies, you’ve opened my eyes into brighter places
Daylight is when we realize there is no replacing
Fallen, empty and scarred by wars not worth waging
North Star, shine like you are, with you’re white light save me
Under black skies, you’ve opened my eyes into brighter places
Daylight is when we realize there is no replacing
North Star, shine like you are, with you’re white light save me

Through the Gate
02:27

|
To my greatest companion, for all that you given
How I yearn to ease your pain
I don’t know if you can hear me, as your eyes close beside me
May you dream of younger days
And if you go, I’m leaving
To heaven through hell it’s you I’ll see
And if you go, then go with me
If you don’t believe I’ll make you see
Like everything you leave too soon
No child don’t you cry, I’ll follow you
Oh the years go quickly in a world that’s unforgiving
I am blessed to have known your name
And when god calls upon thee
to begin that graceful ending
I will find my way through the gate
And if you go, I’m leaving
To heaven through hell it’s you I’ll see
And if you go, then go with me
If you don’t believe I’ll make you see
Like everything you leave too soon
No child don’t you cry, I’ll follow you
