See It Through 03:21
lyrics
buy track
There's a lesson in cacophony, There's a change of pace to see We can bind a soul, left to bleed, There's a possibility to exceed Change your mind and you can find it anywhere Take or leave a world of need, make a choice and we will see it through There's no virtue in conformity, You can't be accepted in duplicity We can make a choice to be who we really are, Lying to yourself won't get you very far Change your mind and you can find it anywhere Take or leave a world of need, make a choice and we will see it through There are only so many paths to take There are only so many choices you can make today Take or leave a world of need, make a choice and we will see it through

Home 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Caught up in deception, tricked by your disguise Betrayals of conception, concealed behind your eyes Shadows misinforming, the powers that be Caught red-handed storming the beaches of your dreams We will follow it all the way down We will chase you all the way home Taking care to hide it, no one could understand Locked cages inside it, faking master plans All that's left is talking, resisting true release All that time spent walking, resulting in no peace We will follow it all the way down We will chase you all the way home We've been walking, only talking We've been walking, nowhere is home We will follow it all the way down We will chase you all the way home

More Than You Can Handle 03:39
lyrics
buy track
If you gotta think about it, it never really worked If you wanna scream about it, do whatever works If you always run away, no one will ever stay If you wanna make a change, you better start today It's more than you deserve, but it's not as much as you can get It's more than you can handle, but it's the only shoe that fits If you're gonna try and doubt it, who's gonna set you straight If you wanna fight about it, no one will fake a play There's no need to boast about it, It's all been done before We live the most without it, who's got so much more It's more than you deserve, but it's not as much as you can get It's more than you can handle, but it's the only shoe that fits It's what you don't know that kills you It's what you never knew, the words inside of you It's just a simple jest, burning your Sunday best It's so much fun to slide, you can't enjoy the ride You live on bended knee, mocking insanity It's more than you deserve, but it's not as much as you can get It's more than you can handle, but it's the only shoe that fits

Another Life 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Who knows why we want to change it It's getting stronger every day There's always time to make it It doesn't matter what they say Step inside another life We all know, we're coming back for more We have known this our whole lives What a wicked world we live in There's nothing left for us to say Will we last another night or two We're all set in our ways Step inside another life We all know, we're coming back for more We have known this our whole lives Now with confidence, we can still change Not with arrogance, we can stay the same It's a hard one to imagine, But it's a chance you have to take

Disassemble 03:42
lyrics

I disassemble my life I take apart the only pieces that matter here I find the faulty pieces of the life I once knew Replace the broken parts with gears, shiny and new Take away the pain I need We'll find a lot that we can use Every new piece fits neatly in it's place There are other thoughts to choose Hold it here to make it clear, it's known Take away the pain I need We'll find a lot that we can use Every new piece fits neatly in it's place There are other thoughts to choose Hold it here to make it clear, it's known I disassemble my life I take apart the only pieces that matter here Hold it here, to make it clear, it's known

Don't tell me what I wanna hear Don't ask me what I'm doing here Don't tell me what I gotta fear You've got nothing on me I've got it all in my pocket I've got everything I need To make it bleed I know you're coming back for more I got a lot in store Your whole life's a bore You've got nothing on me I've got it all in my pocket I've got everything I need To make it bleed I've got it all in my pocket I've got everything I need To make it bleed Don't tell me what I wanna hear You've got nothing on me I've got it all in my pocket I've got everything I need To make it bleed

The Way 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Spinning stuck in retrograde, sleeping under knives Take control of what you say, hidden between the lines Sipping under another cover of convenient youth Suck behind blind acolytes, believing they've found truth We know the way Satisfy the time removed, fail the premise proved If you say you will, I will too, follow through Finding lines to hide the time, we're all wasting Spun ahead to hide in bed the dreams we're chasing Stuck behind a falling wall built on desire At the end we all pretend, we're not a liar We know the way Satisfy the time removed, fail the premise proved If you say you will, I will too, follow through We know the way Satisfy the time removed, fail the premise proved If you say you will, I will too, follow through We know the way

A Peace 04:04
lyrics

Take it down a bit to see the world In my eyes I see the universe I won't force you to see it all Why fight about what we need We can make a choice to choose a peace I've been forged in fire of patience I've been lost in all their faces We all have a song to be sung Why fight about what we need We can make a choice to choose a peace Why fight about what we need We can make a choice to choose a peace Take a break to breathe again Star in the life you've been cast in It's all just a show, there's no need to know Why fight about what we need We can make a choice to choose a peace

Into The Static 04:00
lyrics
buy track
We follow along with the calls It's so cold taking it all We rave, on another page Signals in the air rage We're tied into the static In starlight, we'll find our way back The firelight tells us to attack We're stone, living life alone Signals in the air rage We're tied into the static They don't know, we refuse to show This will stand forever Signals in the air rage We're tied into the static This will stand forever

Desire 04:52
lyrics
buy track
I've got no reason to exorcise your demons I've got no skin in this game I don't need a dancer to tell me how to lie All I have left is a name All I knew, was trust in you All it seemed to be was desire I've got no seasons, every day's the same I can't be a lunatic tonight In this dusty suitcase, filled with razor blades I've got no strength to put up a fight All I knew, was trust in you All it seemed to be was desire I won't dance on your strings while you smile I can see the fault in the surface In a rage unsealed, tried by plastic jury It's just more salt in the wounds All I knew, was trust in you All it seemed to be was desire There is nothing but chaos in your life I'm not the one to be forgiven There is nothing but hatred in your heart I'm left with the wounds I'm given All I knew, was trust in you All it seemed to be was desire

Take It Out 02:14

Now the bells are ringing, giving you an answer We can't relive the singing, cannot change the dancer You can take it with you now, You can fight to live without You can try to fake a shout, Now it's time to take it out You've been misled by faults in all the prayers you're saying It's the shots you couldn't take while the kids are playing You can take it with you now, You can fight to live without You can try to fake a shout, Now it's time to take it out We all want a game to play You can take it with you now, You can fight to live without You can try to fake a shout, Now it's time to take it out We all want a game to play

Amazed 03:27
lyrics
buy track
When this life stumbles down, take the long way around Skipping stones in hushed tones, We'll never tell what we found Digging in the dirt of our youth Tricking tongues with empty lungs, we're alive today We can still be amazed Perfect circles tied in knots, we reveal our purpose Infinite sliding locks, we conceal the hurt Riding on the tails of forgiveness Tricking tongues with empty lungs, we're alive today We can still be amazed Don't change the flaws Don't chase the calls Digging in the dirt of our youth Tricking tongues with empty lungs, we're alive today We can still be amazed Digging in the dirt of our youth Tricking tongues with empty lungs, we're alive today We can still be amazed

Happiness Machine 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Consume more than you create, you take and take and take and take It's a deal you'll never break, You're stuck in the system now You consent to be a slave, from your cradle to your grave It's the fear that you crave, You only have one purpose now It's all about how much you can get It's all about frustration How much can you really hoard, possessions are your only lord It's more than you can afford, But you gotta keep up with the game Nothing makes you content, nothing for the time you spent You gave up your consent, and all you own is pointless now It's all about how much you can get It's all about frustration You're a happiness machine, but you don't know what that means It's all about how much you can get It's all about frustration You're a happiness machine, but you don't know what that means Take and take and take and take

In The Sunshine 02:21
lyrics

It's only in the sunshine, we can find our way It's always in the sunshine, we can start today I forgot to close the door on living in the past I could have given so much more, it went by too fast But I have a life to live and it's going on right now I have made it all these years, but I don't know how It's only in the sunshine, we can find our way It's always in the sunshine, we can start today I made a choice to change my path, to leave it all behind I had to take a stand to discover what I'd find It's a long road ahead, but farther than I've been I do my best like the rest of this world we're living in It's only in the sunshine, we can find our way It's always in the sunshine, we can start today Don't say you knew, What I've been through It's only in the sunshine, we can find our way It's always in the sunshine, we can start today

Justify 04:19
lyrics

It's a fact you're losing track of nightmares that you save It may be a travesty of all you ever save By a chance of circumstance you've lost your only friend Ones and zeroes passing by until you see the end There's no time to justify the choices that you've made There's no point to make in your mindless rage There's no time to justify the stories you make true There's no right to pick a fight the way that they miss you There's no time to justify a life like advertised There's no reason to take it into your surprise There's no time to justify this message to you all There's no fact you can't ignore when you hear the call You can't hear it coming back, craving so much more It's a novelty revenge, hiding what's in store It's a false modesty creeping in your wake Pick your poison wrapped around the chances that you take There's no time to justify the choices that you've made There's no point to make in your mindless rage There's no time to justify the stories you make true There's no right to pick a fight the way that they miss you There's no time to justify a life like advertised There's no reason to take it into your surprise There's no time to justify this message to you all There's no fact you can't ignore when you hear the call There's no time to justify the choices that you've made There's no point to make in your mindless rage There's no time to justify the stories you make true There's no right to pick a fight the way that they miss you There's no time to justify a life like advertised There's no reason to take it into your surprise There's no time to justify this message to you all There's no fact you can't ignore when you hear the call

Change Is Changes 03:49

Stay inside the lines, Disobey the time Try to make another world to live in, Believe that you're forgiven Tame the thoughts around you, release the loss forgotten Try to make another world to live in, Believe that you're forgiven Change is defining your life, Change is all there is Try to make another world to live in, Believe that you're forgiven Reject the last reaction, Implore a call to action Try to make another world to live in, Believe that you're forgiven Change is defining your life, Change is all there is Change is only changes

One Mile 02:27

Walk one more mile, save one more day You talk a lot about running away Failing under cover, challenging the rain The good things in life are a drain We've been talking backwards, trying to find a link We can break it down now, no matter what they think It's clear enough to recognize, It's easier to blame Snag a wire and give it a name Broke another mirror, It's hard enough to see I'm always lucky to be me We've been talking backwards, trying to find a link We can break it down now, no matter what they think We don't have to worry, we just have to breathe We have everything we need here We've been talking backwards, trying to find a link We can break it down now, no matter what they think

Lost In Thunder 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Caught with empty words and lies drowned out by thunder Lightning striking in your eyes hiding the spell you're under Standing tall with empty threats, calling out your bluff Endless talking, foolish bets until you've had enough It won't last long enough to give you a taste Shouting thunder in your ears, it's such a waste Tearing piece locked inside, underneath incisions Everything that happens now is due to your decisions Faking screams that make no sense, betray your demons Acclimated to the noise masking the feeling Now you've found a talking shroud to cover up your weakness You can't hide behind the slide of a crash that's ceaseless It won't last long enough to give you a taste Shouting thunder in your ears, it's such a waste Tearing piece locked inside, underneath incisions Everything that happens now is due to your decisions Left alive to watch it writhe and cover up the bleeding Stuck on stare and unaware of knowledge you've been needing There's no chance to reach the branch that ensures salvation Failing fast you'll never last, hiding your relation It won't last long enough to give you a taste Shouting thunder in your ears, it's such a waste Tearing piece locked inside, underneath incisions Everything that happens now is due to your decisions Meaning is lost in thunder

Riding On 02:53

We'll be riding on here, we'll be fighting on here Cary on the battle line, gathering the storm Heavy on the overtime, Sharpening the sword We've been marching all our lives, to the final spirit It's not the end that we pretend, we don't have to fear it We'll be riding on here, we'll be fighting on here If this is war, it's such a bore, living in contention I don't have to fight the world, given my intentions We don't have to sympathize, if we can understand It doesn't matter who you are, there's still no master plan We'll be riding on here, we'll be fighting on here There's no choice but to keep riding on Right on We'll be riding on here, we'll be fighting on here Right on

Smiling Down 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Drain away, in between the motives clear Fade away, a reaction born of fear In the stars it's hiding, brought to tears smiling Fading steps, follow me everywhere Choices kept, I heard the voices in the air In the streets of violence, Smiles sealed in silence, here Agelast imposters, calling for a recompence Pure of heart jesters, feigning claims of ignorance In the night I'm finding, staking claims in my eyes In the stars it's hiding, brought to tears smiling down

Solstice Soliloquy 03:36

Don't take offense from this circumstance Life is pulled along, missing every chance Resist the urge to want what cannot be I won't break the noise of solstice soliloquy Belong, Be strong, Fight a nature obscured Be found, in sound, It's the one fire cured alone Don't make a face you wouldn't want to share Floating in space, the rest are unaware There's strength in pain, when you realize it's all the same There's a path in the rain, when you forgive your name Belong, Be strong, Fight a nature obscured Be found, in sound, It's the one fire cured alone Resist the urge to want what cannot be I won't break the noise of solstice soliloquy

Taken Nowhere 03:12

It's always one thing or another, A tired phrase to be held up to the light It's the only one I know Nothing's over, it's been seen, Taken nowhere I have been We won't give up, we won't take the easy path again We never saw it coming, a tired tread to run on again It's the only rule to fear Taken over in belief, Left in limbo in relief We won't give up, We won't take the easy path again We won't give up, We won't take the easy path again

Wither 04:30

It's a reason to ask, It's a power in the past It's a firecracker taste, It's alway such a waste Take the medicine you've been prescribed If you want to wither, It's your only right Tasks at hand reveal, Masks in time conceal Revisionist drivel, Imposter fueled madness Take the medicine you've been prescribed If you want to wither, It's your only right Take the medicine you've been prescribed If you want to wither, It's your only right Sliding down the ropes, Foreign thoughts of hope Chasing garbage cans, Cannot understand Take the medicine you've been prescribed If you want to wither, It's your only right

A brontide warning, slipping through my endless thoughts Am I alone in bliss, Am I afraid to miss it Set upon by dogs unreal, always on my trail everyday Am I alone in bliss, Am I afraid to miss it Hiding from the sun under bodhi trees, I forgave the world I saw Taken in by folly, Unreal in storms imagined Am I alone in bliss, Am I afraid to miss it

Thank you for taking time to rearrange I'm spinning in my head and I feel no pain Taking time to look around all this empty space I feel hypnotized every single day I change my life every night but always feel the same I'm running out of reasons to ever play the game Thank you for taking time to recognize I'm trying hard to figure out what's in my eyes It's a positive reaction to a simple change I'm stuck in stars to make it hard to ever stay the same I'll pretend I'm still a name if you wanna fly There's no reason to assume change means goodbye Thank you for taking time to understand Nothing I do is ever planned Take from it what you will, You can hear it if you sit still Thank you for taking time to realize It's me

Act like you want to, Laugh if you've got to Change what you want to, Tell us all what it means to you What will save you, nothing in this world is ever new Hold it under Try if you have to, run if you'd like to Chase what you want to, we're all after something we can't have What will save you, nothing in this world is ever new Hold it under Cry if you want to, Smile if you have to Lie if you need to, It's all a smoke and mirrors show What will save you, nothing in this world is ever new Hold it under

Away From The War 03:22

In a rush I passed it by, learning nothing new I'm allowed to verify, the pieces of you It's a chance to qualify, the pages we hold dear I found a way to clarify, the universe in here In our ghosts is what we show In our ghosts it's how we know In a daze I saw it change, running still in silence All my choices out of range, blocking out the violence Sitting still is all the rage, we try to remember Signal tones on every page, I'm wishing for December In our ghosts is what we show In our ghosts it's how we know Living away from the war In our ghosts is what we show In our ghosts it's how we know Living away from the war

I Stand Still 07:14

One step is all you ever need, this soul's awake enough to feed Untied waiting for the day, United when I run away I feel it coming back Tragic lunacy, taking over me, I stand still Tired waves across my shore, Waiting to find out so much more Chasing wings of paper doves, Losing touch from waking up I dismiss the pain Magic circumstance, waste another chance, I stand still Fixing flaws left in the clay, I stand still Chasing bonds that will not break, I stand still Walk along the broken street, I stand still Choices made in empty days, I stand still I remain alive Choking on words I cannot say, Breathing in a desperate day Winning every game I play, changing all my worried ways I have tried my luck Plastic passers by, care enough to try, I stand still Fixing flaws left in the clay, I stand still Chasing bonds that will not break, I stand still Walk along the broken street, I stand still Choices made in empty days, I stand still I remain alive Hold on to what you are, It won't take long to fade away

I can feel the frequency in the air I can tell you don't really know I will see the other side of grace I can tell, it's written all over your face We are out of time, missing every line we fake Missing out on doldrums, while it's ticking by I don't have to make it clear to know why I rely on a choice to pass it by I am not imagining the pain I will see the other side of grace I can tell when I'm out of place We're not out of line, We're a chance to try We're not out of life We are out of time, missing every line we fake Missing out on doldrums, while it's ticking by I don't have to make it clear to know why

Let It Out 04:43

I hope you can see, it's not what I chose to be I hope you know, it always chooses me In a flash it's here, and here I'll always be I'm checking on tales, being told to me It's all I notice now, I don't know why I let it out In futile screams, I live unknown Caught in the squeeze, It's never shown The plastic kings, have no righteous thrones I'm trapping sunlight, in rays that never shone It's all I notice now, I don't know why I let it out I hope you know, The way back here I hope you see, it's just a phantom fear In a bit unrehearsed, the deaf ears hear I'm changing all the pieces I hold dear It's all I notice now, I don't know why I let it out
