Of Your Name 03:42
I am forever changed In a breath In the blink of an eye Please don’t go back to sleep Please don’t ever awaken I will lay down my arms I will fall right to the ground I will sound the alarm If it keeps you safe Fast as you can Run away, don’t look back We are surrounded, holding the lines to keep you alive First of your name Hold on to your innocence Once set in motion you’ll never have these moments back. I awoke to a song and a word When I opened my eyes I awoke to a face I awoke to you I’ll leave blood on the ground Keep you safe, keep a smile on your face I’ll leave blood on the ground If it keeps you here Fast as you can Run away, don’t look back We are surrounded, holding the lines to keep you alive First of your name Hold on to your innocence Once set in motion you’ll never have these moments back. Fast as you can Run away, don’t look back We are surrounded, holding the lines to keep you alive First of your name Hold on to your innocence Once set in motion you’ll never have these moments back.

False Senses 03:43
You enter right on cue, you always come running The subtle violence of self and control Hold out your arms and pull me in Violent hearts silently searching For a way to hold their breath Long enough to cleanse all their sins I tried to find the line, to leave something behind for you A letter or a song Remember the words Hold out your arms and pull me in Violent hearts silently searching For a way to hold their breath Long enough to cleanse all their sins I once knew a wretched shell of a man Awoken by something he could not explain Forgiven the sins of his past Pulled up from the floor and healed of his pain And as he grew stronger he sang Of beauty and love, forgiveness and grace His foot on the throat of another Who wanted the same, but wasn’t the same. He wasn’t the same.

It’s on the tip of my tongue I can’t remember the dream, it was elusive and fleeting It’s on the tip of my tongue I felt it slipping away; it left me searching for meaning I am forever in love with things I can never let go of I am the heart and the soul still to be found One by one we find redemption It’s in the air that you breathe You never needed a thing, you never needed a reason Always just out of reach It left me gasping for air, left me staggered and bleeding This is the way and the light This is what I’ve only dreamt of This is the end of all things never to be found One by one we find redemption We are fires in the fields Severing the lines Desperate to follow We are trying to believe Sing us back to sleep Disparate and hollow It’s on the tip of my tongue I can’t remember the dream, it was elusive and fleeting It’s on the tip of my tongue I feel it slipping away, it left me searching for meaning I am forever in love with things I can never let go of I am the heart and the soul Still to be found

I Am 03:56
I am a dying fire I am the dawn, received by your eyes I am the tourniquet that saved your life I am a man borne of a girl I am a dream denied I am the final breath of this life expired I am I am the fallen star Burning every shadow fast into the earth I am the rain that falls To wash away this place Wash away the world And I can not be saved. But I am not afraid. Listen for the sound This love will save us

Don’t look up. It’s not like you. Turn and go back to your life Don’t push back Just believing will always be enough You’ll fall down. You will feel this. I promise that we’ll see it through. Don’t lose hope. Head down into it You’ll never be the same Never be the same. All is quiet on this night Mothers softly paralyze Voices singing lullabies Drifting back to me. Why has everybody gone? Falling back to sleep Fighting every dream Wars and silences collide We never learned a thing We never learned a thing We are the future falling away Ashes obscure the price that we paid Falling asleep to never awake We are the silence We are the same All is quiet on this night. Mothers softly paralyze Voices singing lullabies Drifting back to me. You’ll fall down. You will feel this. I promise that we’ll see it through. Don’t lose hope. Head down into it You’ll never be the same Never be the same.

Fingers close around the dust of you Breathe it in, never to forget Lost underwater for a thousand years Why you left, I’ll never understand It’s neverending We crossed the ocean for a taste of it Young and blind, we knew not what we did All the sons and daughters of a thousand men Disappeared. I’ll never understand It’s neverending We’re so close now My vision clears A pale separation Our innocence is poison thin Drowning in the refrain I dreamt of you, a better place Caught by the arm extended And I’m not scared of who I am I hope that you understand.

Wires 06:32
I awoke today to hear the news Fast upon the wires that carry me to you I am one of many weak and starving men Burdened by my sins and buried by regrets
