We Wait 00:52
I am afraid I have wasted my time We carry your words, we repeat every line For your mask you keep, a filthy face, a dire need We are beautiful worlds covered in raging sea

I was a child with too many thoughts Haunted by all of the things that I wanted but “Careful you’re only so strong You’re made up of everything you choose to love” I think I, I’ve wasted my time, oh I’m afraid I have wasted my time Our days are so short, and we spend them dying These things have no use, we could leave them behind Behind your eyes lies a turbulent sea You think that you’re safe that you don’t to breathe But the strength to move on is a treacherous one Awakened and never appeased it will come I think I, I’ve wasted my time, oh I’m afraid I have wasted my time Our days are so short, and we spend them dying These things have no use, we could leave them behind But I think I, I’ve wasted all my precious time I’m afraid I have wasted my time Our days are so short and we could spend them dying Or leave this behind, we could leave this behind I think I have wasted my time Our days are so short and we could spend them dying These things have no use, we could leave them behind

See the dark wrap around my neck I’m reaching out I choose light instead With no recall, no retrospect I will retain, will keep my head But now I ask Do you have any more questions You’ve been hurt, used And manipulated I can see it now But in answer to the crowd I bow my head and turn away I don’t know what to say You speak of heavy things Of trust, and pain it brings If you’d only let me help you I’d do it in a heartbeat But now I ask Do you have any more questions You’ve been hurt, used And manipulated I have seen it all The rise, the hurt, the fall But if I did not believe myself Could I stand and sing for you If not for money’s sake Nor pride nor guilt nor shame When you awake, you Will see what I mean A brand new thought in silence broke Faith keeps alive the life it chokes For there was life in the words he spoke Faith keeps alive the life it chokes For there was life in the words he spoke Faith keeps alive the life it chokes

This is time, run away Cuz you have nowhere to hide You’ve been boxed into a corner In the back of your mind This is fear, hold your head Cuz you have nothing to say So you run away So you run away This is time, turn away But you’ve nowhere to run You are haunted every day By all the things that you’ve done You’re wasted on the promises Of better things to come We’re fools Here I am holding on to you This is time, look away But you have nothing to find You’ll have that noose around your neck until the day that you die You know the sirens sing For you this time We’re fools Here I am holding on to you We choose Lovely burdens over solitude What have, what have you left me? Sing now “oh please let it breathe” What have, what have you left me? Sing now “oh please let it breathe” We’re fools Here I am holding on to you We choose Lovely burdens over solitude

Endless 03:45
There were days when I could Lift you on my shoulders Comfort you inside my arms You learned that love is endless For you and all your demons Love would keep you safe from harm Tell me all the things you know You embrace what you believe About yourself and all your grief But endless is the way you move Read the signs Hide away this time Cuz I see the way you fall After every single fight When you feel the warmth leave I hope you somehow find It'll be ok It'll be alright These days you find you can't escape The beast you kept inside its cage Would manifest itself in ways When you're alone you are afraid But endless was the love I gave Read the signs Hide away this time Cuz I see the way you fall After every single fight When you feel the warmth leave I hope you somehow find It'll be ok It'll be alright I'm falling to the same sound The last time I looked down But I get down on my knees and pray I'll come around Though long gone are those days You know I'll never let you down Then I get down on my knees and pray I'll come around Lean right, inside this castle is where you will find us Reach inside, catch your breath, jump till you have nothing left

Battle 05:18
Somewhere I find a place Called peace of mind I can’t complain and This place I’ve settled in Takes life away from all my sin Somewhere you’ve made a place You think you’re found But you’re always searching I can’t believe the way You stopped yourself before you’ve found it Oh I try to make a point But you don’t know what I mean I speak, I wait, I wade through the dream We don’t lie when we say there are wonderful things Somewhere I’m lost in battle Blinded by my eyes turn red The anger grows, it builds It lives somewhere inside my chest Take it out of me; it’s your breath I breathe Rip out myself, and remake me anew, let these eyes learn to see Oh I try to make a point But you don’t know what I mean I speak, I wait, I wade through the dream We don’t lie when we say There are wonderful things And it’s all that I have, an image to hold A simple minded picture of my long-lost soul Use it all, and bring it home I will come and hope that you will listen I will come and bring you home It’s time to come, you need have no resistance Time to come, come back home Time to return your bruised and broken soul Give it up and make it whole It’s no answer, it’s all I have Tired fingers, empty hands Don’t be afraid, you’ll be more than what you are You’ve come so, so very far you don’t always see it
