- Alive
I am sorry for the way this all came to be
You were never meant to lose your sense of identity
Feels like you’ve been robbed
Since the day your heartbeat stopped
The gates were calling you home
But you, you wouldn’t let go
You’re alive
You don’t have to run anymore
- All The Darkest Colors
You’re like the season
But don’t really have a reason to change like they do –
Here and gone but you never really leave at all
I really do believe you got so lost in your head
That you can’t see the
Ebony in your eyes
Took the ivory glow by surprise
And no, it isn’t getting better
- Bravery
He wakes up early morning
These constant painful warning signs won’t go away
He can feel it in his skin this once thick armor’s wearing thin
A sickness slowly creeping in
On his knees to purge the sin
From a distance a soft voice screaming “Son you have a choice
Don’t get caught in all the noise. I say this ‘cause I care
Now tell me how can you save yourself
- Brightest Day
I can’t speak
The words got lost
Carried by the wind
Regret is at its peak
Coursing my veins
Rendering me helpless
Enter you into the scene
Reached out your hand and rescued me
- Brother Guilt
Take a little walk with me,
it's been awhile my brother
It'll take some time to make
this right with the other
When you hear those bombs going off
We can grip to one another
Arms thick like fog
I will hold your head underwater
- Cinnamon
Though we might be young for this
Surrounded in our lovers’ bliss
I don’t care what they insist
You were made for me and I for you
With cinnamon on your breath
I could feel your every step into my life
Right through my chest
As if you knew which key was best
- Fear No More
Sleep’s not coming so easily
It’s been so hard to find
In such a noisy world
I am afraid
Of becoming exposed
But it’s been appealing since I’ve been alone
Am I losing my mind?
Or do I still have time to mend
- Go
Do I dare say a word?
For I could be heard
Staring at the “how it’s been”
This is hardly suffering
Fearing my own tongue again
Just one song to break the silence
Take on the earth as it staggers like a drunk
- How Love Works
You can’t be on your feet
Sitting in the driver’s seat
Pedal to the floor
And with each false start
Taking every turn to sharp
We lose control – don’t lose control.
Your blanket was torn to shreds
- Little Visits
I know I'll see you soon
But your ghost is bleeding through
Reaching out I swear that it was you
A perception so swoon
Somewhere between the shadows
In the dark lit room
In need of reassurance
Praying to God that she made it
- Losing
Tonight I stood with my hands back disengaged
Tie them off with yellow caution tape for my mistakes
I tried to run through the darkness and lost my way
So like an arson I set fire to what I became to
Breathe, breath a little life into my chest
Something beyond the veil
Take, take it from my eyes
I must confess that I don't belong here
- Safe With Me
Picturing your white dress
Waiting for this day to come for you
I’ve been searching my whole life
Now I’ve found the one and it’s true
From the first spark
My whole heart was yours for the keeping
And I know the dark’s not too far but
I’ll be the light you need
- Set You Free
Waking up to the sound
Of a voice from the past
Only to find it was a dream that didn’t last
Into the daylight
These years go fast
And he’s still gasping for the breath
She took when she left
He’s dying for a chance
- Speak
In a dream you spoke to me
You said loud and clear, “You’ve got to share, got to share it all.”
Yet I was weak, and unprepared
But I saw you there, saw you
Your broken face was healed
Still the open space leaves me feeling
Bruised and lost along the way
Black and blue taught me how to pray
- Sweet Release
I’m just fine and don’t need to say more
To keep my mind from feeling the discord
You gave your hand to pick me up off the floor
But I looked the other way to sleepless nights
Chasing a dim light
Didn’t think twice - only what felt right
A crash course that led me straight back to you
And I came around again
- Thief
Is it safe there where you tread
While you’re swimming in my head?
Can you feel the burn
Of the fire as it spreads through every thought?
Consume me love – but don’t put me out
I’ll tell you soon enough
When I catch it
- Unspoken
This room is smoking
These words I’m choking on but
I’ll hold my breath until you call
It’s been a little too long
I can’t write when it’s all been wrong
So I’ll watch it burn and try again
Unspoken, we are broken
- What You Deserve
She’s tearing at the seams
Falling to her knees
She’ll pray for the care that she needs
And a place she can stay for a while
Without losing her smile
I know it’s hard right now, but
You’ll find your way
Out of this somehow
- Worth Dying For
Cold comes crashing through the door
Perfect pictures shattered on the floor
You wanted to say, “Am I worth dying for?”
But you hold it inside
Let it incubate
Go to war – a chance to mediate
You swear it’s better than the current state so you say,
“Come back home, come back home, you’re all I’ve known.
- Your Side of the Wall
We feel the cold and so we hold
The mental frames of something old but I need to know,
I need to know where you stand
‘Cause I can’t stay warm when it’s on my mind
I’ll throw it back and put it all behind just to stand here blind
Well I guess that’s where I am, but I can feel it
Getting colder now, and nothing’s really set in stone
