Nobody Knows 02:24
lyrics
buy track
I have lowered expectations I live in the here and now I bought into the myth that We'd all be alright... Somehow I've clawed so deep When I thought that I was climbing so high And after all I know There's so far left to go And questions that nobody knows... I used to believe them When they said it'd all work out Their answer when I asked 'How?' Was to say.... Somehow I've clawed so deep When I thought that I was climbing so high And after all I know There's so far left to go And questions that nobody knows...

Fading (from Lack of Love) 02:21
lyrics
buy track
These hearts of poor endeavor What are they thinking of? They think they're being clever But this push has come to a shove These poor who worship power What are they thinking of? They're waiting for their hour And pleading with God up above Is it too late to wake them? What are they thinking of? They're really in need of friends And fading from lack of love Lack of love

Threads 02:55
lyrics
buy track
A thread hangs loosely Of dire possibilities A shadow of what could be In a false reality There's a ribbon around my heart And a storm cloud above my bed I discovered once again It was all in my head In hindsight you see The way you felt seems crazy Remember this one moment Your emotions let you be There's a ribbon around my heart And a storm cloud above my bed I discovered once again It was all in my head When dread come again Take control if you can Remember it will come to Nothing in the end

Stasis 02:18
lyrics
buy track
Numbed by repeated imagery Til the next drama takes its place The trauma we internalize And put on a brave face Defenders of the stasis There is no moral basis All friends in high places Lying with straight faces Is this the dream? Well let's wake up When will it ever be enough? What will be the spark to ignite? To find the courage to fight Defenders of the stasis There is no moral basis All friends in high places Lying with straight faces

Loosely Hang On 02:43
lyrics
buy track
They always say what you love must be set free But logically that's not easy to see Cuz fear and doubt find their way into your thoughts And you find yourself trying to hold on to what you've got I have got to learn not to hold tightly to what I love That which is given can be taken from above I have got to listen when they say try to loosely hang on Don't be possessive or your love could be gone You're constantly trying to second guess your thoughts But you run round in circles, completely lose If you could learn how to go about your life You could save yourself trouble. So much strife I have got to learn not to hold tightly to what I love That which is given can be taken from above I have got to listen when they say try to loosely hang on Don't be possessive or your love could be gone

New Light! 02:04
lyrics
buy track
Seeing things in a new light Accepting things that aren't just right Can we learn to sleep soundly at night? Shards of memories, past regrets Take formation but you can't let Looming shadows cast a doubt Distractions you can live without When phantoms come to life Manifested by your strife Can we learn to sleep soundly at night? Shards of memories, past regrets Take formation but you can't let Looming shadows cast a doubt Distractions you can live without

You'll Have to Answer 03:36
lyrics
buy track
The light of redemption Could shine on you But your heart is a stone So you refuse Heaven isn't waiting for you You'll have to answer for all the things you do Hiding behind your faith Your sins outweigh Any eternal reward For souls gone astray Heaven isn't waiting for you You'll have to answer for all the things you do With hate clouding your heart You'll fall apart Cuz you know you will burn From one bright spark

Can't Escape. 01:54
lyrics
buy track
Even stars can't escape The course of their fate Blindly through the darkness Not sure when you'll turn and drop Your mind creates the shapes of things To come and finish you.. Gravity is too great Light gone without a trace Blindly through the darkness Not sure when you'll turn and drop Your mind creates the shapes of things To come and finish you off

The Mountain 02:06
lyrics
buy track
Am I the only one Whose coming undone? Rolling the stone up the mountain again The only thing you look forward to is the end When we unite as one We gain from the union Holding our own against the mountain again The only way we can begin to mend

Pliant 02:21
lyrics
buy track
The trees bend and sway Staying rooted on their darkest day Can I be pliant or will I break? Winds of change will have their sway Those left standing can accept the day Am I resilient or will I... Break through the blockage A light through the cracks I am leaving this doubt And I'm not coming back I have bloodied my hands Against this brick wall I've decided to run I'll no longer crawl It's a constant test of faith Can you feel the hand of fate? Can you adapt or will you break? It's the way you approach the day Only looking for what you can take Can you give freely or will you.. Break through the blockage A light through the cracks I am leaving this doubt And I'm not coming back I have bloodied my hands Against this brick wall I've decided to run I'll no longer crawl

Float Above 03:19
lyrics
buy track
When dark clouds hang heavy above your head Check the inner flame You'll see the light is not dead Frozen though the ground may prove In time, the sun's heat will soothe We'll float above When the world's cares weigh heavy on your brow Remember how much that you can allow And center yourself on the here and now
