November to Nowhere 05:19
lyrics
buy track
Westward calls the island November to nowhere This one keeps the secrets held tight All ports keep the progress The captain, infection Here he sleeps alone Marked and in sight I wished they would have told me How this all could be avoided Now I sleep with one eye Trained to the door Shift change calls the men down And all I can hear is The waves that crash and flow That push us along What will you charge for silence? When all is said and done? Do we feign hope for now With the wreckage aflame? Dead men tell no secrets With their ankles bound in chain A marked man plays it close With his interests at heart Always falling beneath the high tide The ebb, the pull And the way that your screams sound

Reason 03:39
lyrics

As days pass, I'll finally forget your name This regret, so potent I have to let you go Shallow, broken heart of mine Spilling into this space in time Hearts lay open along the way Give me reason for this misery You'll find a way to break me open I have to say you never fail to Surprise me Blessed luck, this is the end Shallow, broken heart of mine Spilling into this space in time Hearts lay open along the way Give me reason for this misery Shallow, broken heart of mine Selfish, devoting all my time To things I'll never have again Give me strength to say this is the end Find the time to let you go, and breathe These memories are all I have Wonder is the essence to this reverie I wish I could have told you that

The Wrong One 04:18
lyrics

It comes down to getting close Or never close enough You fight the system, pay the price And it's never enough What's one more day to make excuses? What's on your mind again? You point the way And we will Steal along Making games out of thin excuses And telling truth when it's most convenient You say I've got you wrong But you are the wrong one You'd like to shut me out And turn me away You'd like to turn the sound off But I'm stuck like a nasty habit Oh, tortured love of mine Such a mess of drama You can't fix what was always broken But you'd like to think that we will You're free of all this worth You're like a nightmare There's so much hell to pay Here comes our back and forth Won't shut out the screaming How did we get this way to begin with?

Ever Slowly 04:54
lyrics

You wrapped around the vibrance of a dream Holding fast, the likes of which I never thought I'd see In all this time, bound to laws I never could uphold I find I'm ever slowly losing all control I find home in the radiance of your gaze (It's in your eyes) Lost myself in the spaces in between These nascent dreams I played a small part in the whole of this ordeal And stayed, only you can make me feel the way I feel This love could break any sane thought I have left A reprise, your hold is strong, I never can forget With this silence broken I will break wide open

Fighting to Hold 05:02
lyrics
buy track
Hope rings clear through this idea Poised in silence, awaiting the chance To say what I need to say Weaving through sorrow Love, you know I could wait You're fighting to hold And it shows in your face I cannot steer clear of you So you still wander away from this As I still hold onto you A little for nothing, with nothing to trade I wish I knew what to say Weaving through sorrow Love, you know I could wait You're fighting to hold And it shows in your face I cannot steer clear of you

Infatuation 06:08
lyrics

Oh, how the years go by Filled them with loneliness I have fallen for you Somewhere in between dreams and my memories I lost sight of who I was And now you've taken me back To the darkest place I've ever been Hold me closer, forget In fragments lost in time I'll treasure you, I'll carry you In memories keeping me years behind Somehow it makes sense that you're all I want Desperately hoping that you'll come around Infatuation grows, God knows it took me long enough To finally piece it all together And I want you alive, pure, and whole Oh, how I yearn to touch you in some secret place And all the things I've kept hidden away Come unfurled, with nothing secret anymore Sheer ecstasy drives this point right on home But all I get for these pleas are endless, maddening hopes and dreams Woven, intricately so As all these thoughts unhinge It's getting too far out of hand Yet still, I hold you closely to my heart Somehow it makes sense that you're all I want Desperately hoping that you'll come around Infatuation grows, God knows it took me long enough To finally piece it all together And I want you alive, pure, and whole My head starves the flame That my heart won't forget Still this noose Tame this lust Desire runs deeply

Fire 05:20
lyrics
buy track
Please bring me darkness Where angels fear to tread I want that fire in your eyes Caught in the low light Brimming with ecstasy Reflect intensity of your heart Descent in darkness Relinquish innocence I caught the fire in your eyes But you hide it quickly Ashamed by its insistence I won't be the savior you desire I want your impulses, your desperate feelings All your vacant places Now, overtake my soul, replace my world Don't tell me you don't want to Stray off the beaten path The one others fear to tread The one that I've chosen here: It's desire Nascent in feeling Awakes at the sight of you Compassion stops here, and it dies What else is left to say? I don't want your mended heart I've seen the truth within, and it's fire You think you want righteousness I want the worst of you I'll take your darkness, make it mine Now won't you take these newfound feelings Take me, leave me feeling broken The darkest parts of you are reeling for release Don't say you don't want to Please bring me darkness Where angels fear to tread I want that fire in your eyes

The Spark 05:02
lyrics
buy track
From the end of the road, it's clear now This plain white wall is undefined But I can mark it how I choose to ... And I choose not to I can say I'll let go, it's easy But in letting go, there's a disconnect See this disregard breed resentment Let the things we love die forgotten And I am stuck on the same road Here pushing this rock up the same old hill Redefine an entire existence at my own will Words ghosted, here reading, "Someday." I caught lightning in the spaces in between It strikes, yet no one sees the spark, save for me I'm still trying to turn the whole world into flame A spark that's captured here on earth, in yearning It's the end of the road, it's clear now And these years pass by, uninvited Hello brick wall, my lifelong friend How you climb in my absence I've got a lot of thoughts here in my head It's like living in my own mythic hell When all of these ending ebb out when the rivers still Stuck staring here at this blank slate Words ghosted, here reading, “It's too late” Heroes tell stories of this wretched place No heroes tell my story anymore There's nothing reliable in flesh and bone Offer your head to me, serve it on a platter I caught lightning in the spaces in between It strikes, yet no one sees the spark, save for me I'm still trying to turn the whole world into flame A spark that's captured here on earth, and only I remain

Virgil 05:30
lyrics

Take a note from a camera capturing moments so well-spent And tear out the pages of these memories kept in fitted pictures I guess you fought them the wrong way You tried to excise the excess, you're overwrought And keeping distance, you're finding That when we lost you, it was never as simple as you would have us believe Safe way on this journey, for a life you leave behind Caught in purgatory, and it's all in your design What's left to say, except the things we've said already When we are leading you home In your moments of exile, halfway through your shattered life You're seeing trials in skewed visions, angels beckon you to redefine Last call for leading you onward What sins could you overcome to make this worth telling the ages That it was never as simple as you would have us believe? Last call for shattered sails Feet on the highway As you abandon all hope Leaving us in silence Follow a crooked path Broken and faithless Some say it’s cynical But we could show you violence
