In Sight 04:00
lyrics
buy track
I will take a chance and look into your eyes All your sudden happiness took me by surprise Intensity of Saturdays burning through my face I will take another chance to keep it in it's place It's in sight, I'm alright, take some time to make it right I'm taking time, tonight What will it take today to let someone in What good is faith if all that's left is sin Is there a fire lit, anywhere in sight Is there a chance to pretend, everything's alright It's in sight, I'm alright, take some time to make it right I'm taking time, tonight Why are we not living, in undeserved forgiving Take another chance to be loved, understand the question above It's in sight, I'm alright, take some time to make it right I'm taking time, tonight

Escape 04:58
lyrics
buy track
Ignore the dance in the firing line Reload intention in a word refined Escape the sentence of a torn life Resolve intention in a dream Create relation with a scream Pretend imitation means anything Escape the pity of sudden sting Don't rely on your demons Resist the change of the reasons Love can change with the seasons Escape the feeling of only breathing This is the last world, This is the fire held This is the last escape, This is an end This is the last escape, It's just a slip away

As We Know It 03:59
lyrics

When I peek at consequence, nothing is ever shown All this talk of cowardice leaves me wanting more So what if you don't understand what I want to say Is there any crawling back from yesterday Are all these days empty, Should I dial back and see Would you jump all over me, Could you call it back for me So much for that try, Say goodbye to life, as we know it When I was a shadow, I never cried When I was a hypocrite, I only lied So what if you don't understand the meaning of it all We're lit inside a soda can, rolling down the hall Are all these days empty, Should I dial back and see Would you jump all over me, Could you call it back for me So much for that try, Say goodbye to life, as we know it Are all these days empty, Should I dial back and see Would you jump all over me, Could you call it back for me So much for that try, Say goodbye to life, as we know it

Shine, Sun 05:16
lyrics

I've been praying for change, I've been lost in a rage But I came upon you, and life was renewed I've been wishing to know, but knowing means nothing I wonder why it's as if we've never seen the sun shine I hope you know, it's as if we've never seen it snow I can't explain, it's as if we've never seen the rain It's on my mind, I just want to see the sun, shine But I'll leave it alone, unless a truth is shown I can keep it alive, while I'm dying inside Will we ever know, or is it lost in the snow I won't rely on the unknown

Spells 04:01
lyrics

Another wilderness has led me to your door Skipping steps in chance, stumped by the floor I already know the path, there is no need to ask It's a plain and simple truth, I already know what to do Isn't it in my eyes, Could it be a simple life Casting spells while blind, It's always running through my mind Could I satisfy the fight, do I even have the right I already know the truth, I have seen all the proof I already understand, I already know the plan from here Isn't it in my eyes, Could it be a simple life Casting spells while blind, It's always running through my mind I already know the truth, I have seen all the proof I already understand, I already know the plan from here

I Will Remember 04:54
lyrics
buy track
In twilight coves, remembering times in the rain Lost alone in the tree tops, pretending we're floating in space We would waste the afternoons, singing our songs to the sky Feigning death with wooden swords, nothing but life in our eyes I'm making up time, to keep the promises made I'm waking up live, to spend one more day in the shade Walking along the sea shore, skipping the stones in the sea Racing home with the street light, hoping to make it for free Staying out late misbehaving, Driving around aimlessly We swore somehow that we'd make it, before life took our breeze I'm making up time, to keep the promises made I'm waking up live, to spend one more day in the shade I will remember you I'm making up time, to keep the promises made I'm waking up live, to spend one more day in the shade I will remember the child that I used to be I will stay warm, with the sun that's inside me I will remember you

The Knife 05:48
lyrics

Why are you giving this to me, In fascination of the deep There is nothing wrong with me, stabbing at the glory deceit Why are you ignoring the knife You are just a tourist in this life Why are you ignoring the knife, hold on There is nothing I have to understand, There is nothing left to plan I am not an agent in this dream, I am not a reason to believe Call it a draw all you want, I will never hear your taunt I am not the actor you adore, I am not a demon you ignore Why are you ignoring the knife, You are just a tourist in this life I am not the actor you adore, I am not a demon you ignore Hold on, I'm next

The ice is finally melting for me The sun feels too good to believe I wish I knew this was clear Something is pulling me to open up my eyes Gravity of smiling faces take me by surprise I know that stardust is in my family tree I run fast to catch the blast meant for me I step outside my foggy life to get a better look As sunshine blinds me to what this life took I wish I knew you were here Something is pulling me to open up my eyes Gravity of smiling faces take me by surprise I know that stardust is in my family tree I run fast to catch the blast meant for me Supernovas in my brain, Complicate the categories I maintain No one is safe Something is pulling me to open up my eyes Gravity of smiling faces take me by surprise I know that stardust is in my family tree I run fast to catch the blast meant for me Supernovas in my brain, Complicate the categories I maintain No one is safe I'm going home tonight I wish I knew what it means

Lucky 7 02:56

Now I've got you running, just another trap for you Now another's gunning, gunning down the guilty for you And you realize, it's not for your eyes alone And you compromise, and they left you here alone Another lucky seven, it'll be heaven for you But just because you're lucky, don't think they won't catch up to you And you realize, it's not for your eyes alone And you compromise, and they left you here alone All alone Boy you think that nothing, nothing's gonna take you down You'll just keep on dreaming, right up till you hit the ground And you realize, it's not for your eyes alone And you compromise, and they left you here alone

It's Not So Much 05:41
lyrics

What hidden meaning obscured by a kiss Could bring clarity to this I only wish I had a choice What is the meaning of this trial Is it just a sense of denial I only want to hear your voice A silent figure stands alone waiting for the calm In a state of grace removed by a bomb Explosions of resistance burning through the mind Stand alone in ignorance, running out of time Where is the meaning in this crime Hallucinations stuck on rewind I only see one way ahead Where is the life that was promised Have all opportunities been missed I only want what I want, it's not so much A silent figure stands alone waiting for the calm In a state of grace removed by a bomb Explosions of resistance burning through the mind Stand alone in ignorance, running out of time A silent figure stands alone waiting for the calm In a state of grace removed by a bomb Explosions of resistance burning through the mind Stand alone in ignorance, running out of time I only want what I want, it's not so much

Sting 03:43

I can't find a need to see what life has in store for me I prefer to let it be, cuz nothing ever surprises me I can't always play the game, I won't always be this way I never stay the same, and I'll never know the name None of my troubles mean a thing, I've gotta give love to everything I prefer to feel life's sting, cuz nothing ever surprises me I can't always play the game, I won't always be this way I never stay the same, and I'll never know the name I can't always play the game, I won't always be this way I never stay the same, and I'll never know the name

Awaken 03:34

It may be time to awaken, no more reasons to be faking I've been living in this fog, I've been asleep for too long I may know my name, but I don't know who I am I can't always be floating on, a sea of desires gone There is still a life to live today, time keeps marching in relentless ways I may know my name, but I don't know who I am Is there ever an end to it all, when we sing and dance and forget it all In a slumber for way too long, with no reason to move along I may know my name, but I don't know who I am

I know what I saw, when the curtain fell, it's not crazy I know what I know, I just won't let it go, in hazy days There's a hell of a lot to prove, I'm pretty sure I know what to do, it's crazy Try to build a castle in the sky, it's pointless to even try, I won't let it go I just won't let it go Are you paying attention, to my intention, I'm not crazy Slipping on the bones of saints, returning to a child born in hazy days I just won't let it go

Veils 03:48

Close your eyes and suffer the arrows of this sound Stay a while and wonder where we ran aground Think it over We see life as newborns, blindness in our eyes No one wants to see this world as it really lies The darkness we perceive as light gives us surprise Forgot to check the paths leading to the skies It's not over I'm in my light forever Is there a laugh to be had, dancing in disguise There's nothing but distraction floating through your eyes I'm not over I'm in my light forever Can we make it fall away tonight

Dream Sequence 03:34

Can we bring a smile to the sadness in your eyes Can we take our time to bring back another life When we were younger than this When we never missed It's not wrong to close your eyes When sleep always hides I guess it's really not the same When we forget our own names We will find a way to leave this world behind In a simple slumber with no tether tied Float away in an endless sea There are no words revealed in what it means But we float away Sing a lullabye and in dreams we'll always fly Sing a lullabye and in dreams we'll always fly When we were younger than this, we never missed

Fire chains me underneath the heavy words of your belief I am Saturdays in your dreams, I am Mondays while you wake I am tied to a world I cannot see, Is this a deluge of dreams Is this really a war I can win, Our firestorm is silenced Take this from me, Give me peace Take this from me, I need release Take this from me, please I don't wish to recognize your hate, I am not held in your fate Exorcise the demons you hold dear, This path is not the way Take this from me, Give me peace Take this from me, I need release Take this from me, please Take this from me, Give me peace Take this from me, I need release Take this from me, please Take it all from me, Take this from me, please

We'll just turn our heads and plug our ears All our eyes snap shut, when you show us what is what Why don't we take a day and breathe We don't have to fight Leave the bullets in the bag Let's sit out this dance And look to the skies Why don't we take a day and breathe I can't explain, how it feels To win the war, I don't know Why don't we take a day and breathe I can't explain, how it feels To win the war, I don't know Can you crawl out of the mire today Will we rise above the desire of folly Can we call the ghosts home It's not worth the fight Why don't we take a day and breathe

I am just an alien in this foriegn world In synthetic flesh circling the drain I won't ever be impressed by this rotten mind Maggots devouring former genius kind We don't care what you have to say You're just as lost and ignorant as the rest You're a nightmare, You're a promise lost You're just a number, A function of cost We don't care what you have to say You're just as lost and ignorant as the rest I am just an animal stalking human kind If you see a smile, it's already too late Caged idiocy in your decaying skull It looks like you're the fool in this fairy tale We don't care what you have to say You're just as lost and ignorant as the rest Are you finished yet? We don't care what you have to say You're just as lost and ignorant as the rest
