Keep
03:17
|
|
||
Don’t keep that one thing
You found being that one thing
It has become the wrong thing
And now it’s gone
Oh I, oh I hope to decide
What I know I can’t provide

The Ghost of Everything
03:36
|
|
||
I don’t breathe and I don’t sleep
I won’t leave and I won’t weep
I’m a piece of you, you see
Only kept for when we need
I’m asleep and I don’t wake
It’s taken me so far away
I’m the ghost of everything
That’s happened in your living
Try to get rid of me
End up being consumed by me
Close my eyes and it won’t leave
Take me away and it follows me
It talks to me and tells me all I’ve seen
Memories and things that have not been
Walk with me and show me what I’ve done
Tell me all of what I’ve lost and won
Teach me what you think will come
What you say always takes so long
I’m asleep and I don’t wake
It’s taken me so far away
I’m asleep and I don’t wake
It’s taken me so far away

In These
03:02
|
|
||
In these, in these lives
Is greed, defeat, lies
Believe in these cries
Lend me, lend your time
Oh no
Oh no, no, no
See, it’s so true
See, it’s so true
See, it’s so true
See, it’s so true

Skies
02:19
|
|
||
Don’t fly, don’t fly
Tiny little one
These skies, these skies
Are burning my eyes
Eyes, eyes
How am I to see you fly away?
See the world, see the world
And leave me here
|

Leave That Shade On
04:35
|
|
||
Leave that shade on
It’s so they know you can breathe
Leave that old shade on
When someone wants to hold you
Wants to hold you
All we need
Take them away and we won’t be afraid
All we need
All we need
Leave me be
Take all we need
Let them stay and we won’t be safe
Take all we need
Take all we need
All is lost
|

Whole
03:22
|
|
||
Bent down to the calls
The sounds, it’s clear
Bent down to the force
It’s found, it’s here
Gave up all I’m worth
It’s gone, my fear
Spent on nothing else
But thoughts down here
Here, here it’s made
Here, here it stays
When do all these lies
Become truth, it’s undone
Looked right through those eyes
It’s there, now gone
He’s lost his soul in the forest of pain
And the world has taken him
The world has swallowed him whole

I Can't Speak
03:34
|
|
||
Someone brought you by the door
I’ll let you in
To watch how it grows
With everything left out
Heal, I won’t say
Heal, I won’t say
Everyone’s a contest
Come and win you what?
Everything we have is a burden held on top
Heal, I won’t say
Heal, I won’t say
Only I don’t see
Only I won’t speak
Only I don’t see
Only I won’t speak
Oh I can’t speak

The Wind Moves Free
01:36
|
|
||
Hold on me, the wind moves free
Burnt’s all I see, ash in misery
Hide behind a mask, comfort me
The fire in which we hold so desperately
|

Statues
02:30
|
|
||
Stand in front and let it go
Stand in front and let it go
All alone
All alone
Stand in front and let it go
Stand and break up
Only in soul
All in its soul
Stand in front and let it go
Stand in front
Please don’t harm yourself
Please don’t harm
|

Empty
01:01
|
|
||
Gonna find it empty
Gonna find it full
Gonna find it messy or beautiful
But it’s no more, no more
Left it in the valley
Left it in the store
Left it in the alley where we know we want to go
And it’s so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
|

Haze
06:27
|
|
||
Oh I won’t take
Held down in place, all I’ll make
Been told I’ll break, fall today
I sold my way, now I don’t see
With all this haze, please don’t blow it away
Oh I don’t take, all over again
It seems to pay, seems always
It seems to pay, all night and day
Before I lay, on my way
We leave today, on this wave
Take these things far away from here so no one knew they were real
Please leave them alone so they are safe from harm
Safe, safe
Safe, safe

Obscurity
02:15
|
|
||
Things don’t sing
Things don’t happen
Things don’t say a thing
We all belong to
One big dream
One big fake dream
Nothing means a thing
It all reminds me
Of standing still
Standing so still
Shadow lingers on
Kept down by all the
Doubts I feel
Doubts that don’t go
Eyes kept sewn closed
To hide from seeing
