Trading Gray 02:49
lyrics
buy track
We feel violence wrapped in winter's skin And like the sun in the sky We are radiant, often decadent Trading grays in our minds For light in our eyes We feel providence, its magnificence Blinding stars in the sky Desperation sits on our tongues and lips Begging words to slip by But in silence we thrive

The Lies That Find Us 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Look on the brightside We're both alive and well In a manner of speaking And if it were my way If I were pulling the strings I would cut yours, in a sense At the heart of the matter When nothing gets better It's more of the same And I'm twisted and fettered We're making no progress Stuck here in indifference Just two lonely people Here in this place And I try with all I have to find out If it was something Living for everything And this quiet rings out loud It's frozen But silence is golden I have put it to waste And I try And here in a coin toss Here where the ending's clear I can almost believe That here I am blameless Here I'm the broken pawn Here I'm the one that got away And it's easy And I try with all I have to find out If it was something Living for everything And this quiet rings out loud It's frozen But silence is golden I have put it to waste And I try To cut these ties that bind us And all these lies that find us And catch us in our set ways It's all the same

Marionette 05:11
lyrics
buy track
Oh, if you felt anything Like violent shockwaves on a lovesick, battered mind You'd be the lucky one You inside an empty swing A ticking clock across some great and vast divide Now watch the time run out Oh, the curtain's quick to close And you're the only one who knows just what it's like To feel alive But you couldn't capture the moment Hold it close to your heart We write off these grievances as progress In question, the choices here are steep And you'll keep Just like a marionette The puppeteer works all your strings just like a charm And he's the charming one You could never make it here The place where thoughts and all your actions intertwine And you've abandoned hope Oh, the darkness seeping in Like a welcomed shroud Embraced, alone And you feel alive Which one here will take the bait? Your force of will, embrace the lonely Your master's hands can't keep you safe To find your place, escape

Speechless 04:11
lyrics

I slipped in quiet, count the movements Spent every waking moment in your arms Kept running backwards, never finding Kept pretending I was no more than a mess But I find I'm nothing more You're only a breath away What more could this goodness do me? Anxious as your light falls through me Nothing is weighing me down I fall without a sound And you do this to me Labored breathing and shuddered speaking All I can lay claim to Rendered speechless, I am left believing I can't Suffer through this and really prove to you I should Stay as these lights burn out You are so much more than helpful What more could this goodness do me? Anxious as your light falls through me Nothing is weighing me down I fall without a sound And you do this to me Well that's something Believing there's something more I can't face this, or lie to you You've gone and made me feel whole What more could this goodness do me? Anxious as your light falls through me Nothing is weighing me down I fall without a sound And you do this to me What more could this goodness do me? Anchored to the floor I'm proving I can be what you need And in time you'll see That you do this to me

Brought Me Back 03:15
lyrics

It's all in time, the way I feel about you Now watch the clock wind down Don't count me out Don't take this all for granted Listen to me now You brought me back Into this lovely, filled out feeling You brought me back Like a flame, That burns in time, and breaks up shadow I am drawn with no hope It's just as well There's no point to stop this feeling Or even turn away You brought me back Into this lovely, filled out feeling You brought me back If I could try to shake this feeling of you, darling I would not feel right

Thrown Again 05:23
lyrics
buy track
The next words I will tell you are lies Like the way I hide my sorrows Like the devil in plain sight Cast a look in my direction Dash your heart among the sea And the best lie I could tell you Give your heart to me I am one misstep from falling in line One more accident of conscience to stay these crimes Like the torment of a sinner upon an altar pure I'd watch you sink into the fruit that leaves you wanting more And this is what I have to give to you Offer up this soul that's tortured, for you I'm thrown again by your holy spaces But I would carve you open, leave you graceless Now I'll lay down arms, and concede defeat But you should know, in earnest, the company you keep Do you want this broken body? Can you tame this sordid heart? Can you patchwork all the pieces of the lives I'll tear apart? And this is what I have to give to you Offer up this soul that's tortured, for you I'm thrown again by all your holy spaces But I would carve you open, leave you graceless And this is what I have to give to you A heart that's filled with dirt and broken for you I'm thrown again by all my empty places So you can take compassion, and slowly waste it You're thrown again by all my empty places And all the lies I weave to stay vacant

Free 04:20
lyrics

Ancient ships come sailing down the coastline bearing treasure unknown I can see from the horizon changing features in the sky Here they come, they're bringing spaces in my memory, faces, time Here the wounded gather, see them crane their broken necks For a broken kind of ecstasy that time should soon forget Angels sing hosanna for a sick and wretched few I'll tear my freedom from this complex, and begin anew Finally free of you Sing the songs of flawed men, still unchanging Share their secrets Idols trapped in cages, bound in tethered pages Cast in shadow I know all the lines you'll cross by rote to stave this passage of life

Desperation 04:21
lyrics
buy track
I feel everything But I'm through feeling you Time slows, and I move on Like it's nothing new We fight, we try To make it through these nights And I fall all over again I fall hard Whatever it takes in desperation Whatever I do because of you Whatever it means to say, "I love you" To fall apart And fall I will I bend to you still I tried so hard But I fell apart My reserves worn thin Not strong enough to resist you I fall to you

Halcyon Days 03:57
lyrics
buy track
All seems endless in a springtime gaze No hope for survival over violent waves I fought for your heart Played my part Now all I can hope for are halcyon days Love in the calm In the coolest breeze All clear on the water Feel my heart be seized I touched on the ground Heard your dulcet sounds Now to the surrender in an endless sea All clear on the wayside Help me, I've come undone It's clear what's in your eyes The sky and the sun

Try 04:49
lyrics
buy track
Oh batten down this battlefield The bruised, the broken The bleeding, the wretched Oh this twisted scenery Where good and right Means no one's choosing sides I could sit in bitter silence Like I've lost the will to speak Always walk two steps behind you I could follow in your wooden stride And if you ask me to be patient I would try Now, here is where I've crossed the line I could fix this, you know that I would if you asked me Be still, fight this violent scene Wait for payback, If this becomes a normal thing Anything can become the truth When you stop believing When you are the proof Open wide, and feel love erode All this time spent on bitter lies And stunning half-truths All this time
