Each of us
Getting by
Doing what we can
Why have we been raised to aspire?
We're all looking for an ocean
Yet we can't even find a river
The ground on which we walk is wearing thin
Watch your step now my dear
The dust inside my lungs leaves me gasping for air
I've had enough I can't take this anymore
You told me to make a tree from this root
Instead I've found this gun that I'm willing to shoot
I've torn down every city and I'd do it all again
Let's move on to the villages and burn it all, Amen
God, oh god am I doing this right?
You know what? I don't care I've got my rights
Revelate, tell me if I've gone too far
Hesitate, you'd best keep running away
Idolize, keep your heads up in the stars
Trumped I tell you, fly away

Glacial Nights
03:26
|
|

Throughout all the years
I've felt the shivering snow
Melt on my back like the wind
That once blew through the air
Of the glacial nights of insanity
And eight months of winter is long enough
And I'm tired of waiting
And I've had it with you
And the things that you do
The highest moon is brightening our way through the shadows
Follow its path, it leads straight through the gallows
We will be wasting our moments away
With hopes that these memories never fade
I know that I haven't seen you for a long time
But I know that you'll wait for me
And if one day you manage to understand
Can we move somewhere close to the sea?

Old friend, come have a drink with me
All those years ago, why'd you leave so suddenly?
It's been so long, I hardly recognized you
Where have you been, what are you up to?
I've been traveling the world, you know I just had to leave
Seen some crazy things, that you would not believe
Looking out my window
Just waiting for the clouds to pass
Just want the good times to last
Every summer passes like a dream
With every moment it seems
To move further away
Trying to piece it all back together
Truth is, nothing's going to last forever

Horizons

Three silver chains
Tied to a wall
Projected shadows
From spring to fall
Three broken men
Know only this
Look at the shapes
Some kind of bliss
Can you see the light?
Feel that sun on your face?
Can you tell wrong from right?
Disappear without a trace?
One of the three
Escapes the shade
Out in the sun
He is afraid
Above the surface
He starts to cry
His entire life
Was but a lie

Textures (in the Sky)
04:53
|
|

The day lies down and the sun dies
A violin plays through silent cries
I know I've had this dream before
You ran past me, through the door
Now it's getting closer
And all I see are textures
I can't help myself
I'm in need of this carnage
and though I'm in good health
I won't push the carriage
Cause I know I've seen textures in the sky
They'll surround you and you won't say goodbye
Your screams will become your own hymnal
And the trees will become my own shackles
Shimmers of light peak through the trees
Nothing but the faintest breeze
As we're getting closer
The forest grew thicker
I got a good look, that's all that it took
And I can't seem to remember
A face so familiar
Hiding at my door
I think it's peculiar
A truth I can't ignore

Getting Late
03:50
|
|

|
I might have forgotten
That the sun slowly dies
And if my mind is rotten
I'll go rest in the skies
Because I've seen the way
That the stars shine
And I've noticed the way that
They all align with themselves
Slowly moving away from consciousness
It's getting late in the hour
So I'll go visit my friends
But they're fading as well
I can't comprehend
What they're trying to tell
The barn was raised up last night
Don't let it burn to the ground

Shoreline

He found her washed up on the sand
Abandoned by a man's command
The waves kept on getting closer
As the daylight fell, the tide got higher
On the shoreline
He took her to his cabin by the water
Dragged by her corroded anchor
Torn sails that he had resewn
He worked on her and sailed that night alone
Shoreline
He chose a name for her: Serenity
A ship reborn and put out to sea
He hoisted her sails as a pioneer
They say most problems disappear
Past the shoreline
Alone for so long
You forget where your home is
Just follow the horizon
Follow the horizon
I've been at sea for a year
I don't know where my home is
Just follow the horizon
Follow the horizon

It Gets Better

Don't you know?
It's over before you know it
Taking it slow
Trying to embrace the moment
We've got all the time in the world
So just enjoy it
But you know that
These years feel like they're always getting shorter
There's not much that can be done
No, not much that can be changed
The earth keeps on turning every day
If it wasn't for these years that we spent together
It would seem so useless in the end
Going through life without your friends
It's going to get better
It has to get better
Don't you know?
It's over before you know it
Taking it slow
Trying to embrace the moment
We've got all the time in the world
So just enjoy it
It doesn't really matter now
It gets better in the end

Hello, it's me
Close the door behind you
Finding the right words to say
What good is it going to do?
It was all going so well
All least it was, in my mind
I guess I just missed the cues
I find them hard to find
Why'd you have to quit?
Why'd you have to stop?
Why'd it have to end?
I guess I just forgot.
