I know it shows i never let go of what i hold & you called me last night just to prove you were right on the phone And you know i took it for granted what was done i never wanted to be alone Oh I hope from a far you hear my voice calling out to your heart to bring me back to my place I don't expect you to love me now but you do If I've poisoned the river can i turn it back blue? Ohh You don't believe the words i speak Im tired and I'm sick I know theres a reason wild and true I know theres a reason Why i had to hurt you Just to know what i want When everything's a virtue that's won or lost Its lost lost lost Its lost I hope from a far you hear my voice calling out to your heart to bring me back to my place

Sharp bark splinters Hiding all the pain The palm of the thief Didn't feel the sting Constant dream Child your eyes remain Born in late winter Your will washed out the rain Wait don't go Wake alone (You can hear the pond shake, the rattle of spring, ice beneath your heel cracked honeycomb) Harsh barbed blizzard Carries us away Constant dream Awake without a nam Wake don't go Wake alone Holding on to the edge of my seat I breathe in calm and steady i wait for relief For the last time you follow me Through a moon lit passage in the darkest of dreams Believe in my words believe me Wait don't go Wake alone

Id bet its nice to be home Where your mind can be alone Id bet its nice to feel That someone who knows these roads is behind the wheel Out past the city lights Is where my body resides Where the concrete ends And the life depends on the sunlight to survive Smoke in my lungs The knots in my tongue Its not safe to be here And i cant believe what i hear Out past the rotting hills Where i first learned how to kill I was told not to look In the eyes of the prey as you take their life away This damn place Is programmed to Erase each face We're the ones That relieve We're the ones that deceive Smoke in my lungs The knots in my tongue Its not safe to be here And i cant believe what i hear I bet its nice to be home Where your mind can be alone

The Fields 04:30
An echo through the woods caused a landslide The twisted words blurred the black sky Even if the tongue could speak for itself Would you allow it Fade away back into the fields Where you allow it I felt regret before the progress regressed and I've seen it before when i was dead on the floor caught in your eye Don't go on word don't say a thing When I'm alone I'm missing someone Don't say a thing I felt regret before the progress regressed and I've seen it before when i was dead on the floor caught in your eye

Jagged Grin 02:36
Stronger now that i cut myself thin Left my silver on the street Buried our photos under concrete Repeating axioms vicarious actions I cant face this alone again Cut loose lost you too It pains my heart every day To look in your lover's eyes while you walk away From her life From her light Wilting strings Left me relentless The cold man in my heart I cant stay out of the dark Every day i awake wanting it all back again But I've paid all my dues, my pocket stitched noose in time Every day i awake wanting it all back again My brightly kissed comrade this songs for you every day i awake wanting it all back again
6.
Lost Silence 03:04
Im lonely Only when i follow you Roadside yelling to the curb With nothing learned To calculate the weight of lost silence Kill the king question and move forward Im caught on the conflict of never knowing Where the road parts And the river stopped flowing Cold sparks burn the heart Her shoulder Cold than i ever knew Waste nothing of your one sided view The rattle of an empty old break Its all you need The monster has shown its teeth Its time to come clean Im caught on the conflict of never knowing Where the road parts And the river stopped flowing Cold sparks burn the heart
7.
Distractions 02:59
Walk a mile just to get along and you turn around Lost the sight of the one you love and you're all alone Distractions held their place in my heart But I'm not quite sure and I'm back to where i started I could never stay because i know things will never change I will always stray because i cant help that I'm afraid Or hit me with the medicine that makes my eyes gleam It takes me back to a memory a forgotten dream Distractions held their place in my heart But I'm not quite sure and I'm back to where i started I could never stay because i know things will never change i will always stray because i cant help that I'm afraid
8.
Outlines 02:40
If i cant find it Then when will i know And if i cant fight it Will you let me go And blow with the wind Oh Are my actions stated Or blurred outlines When i feel overrated You're here just in time To love me Oh But i couldn't keep it Safe with myself What do i owe you Now that i'm in love Oh
9.
Light pouring through No one to blame Bad news came too soon Nothing to say What i thought was lost I actually gained My memories of you Only a thought away Is there no consequence For the life they stole, So effortlessly Wounded songbird fly away home A southern wind blows No wisdom grows old No wisdoms grows old Why cant we bring you back With all this love we have Why cant we bring you back There's so much more to be had So much more Is there no consequence For the life they stole So effortlessly

Interlude 03:17
I know you're lost I know you're scared We're in this together
11.
Half dead insects rise into the air Stale intentions wash me clean and bless me with your broken wings Your stolen things Keep my knees weak Tell me the fortune in which i seek If this is life and this is death Then give me the reason i need The expectations of the first page The song you wanted begins to play Giving in from the light to the grey The coils of spring comfort my contorted body Keep my knees weak Tell me the fortune in which i seek If this is life and this is death, then give me the reason i need to begin
12.
One sparks the rest The fire burns And ill return to you With bloody hands A heart of fuel I cant shake the feeling Of loving someone so much It makes you sick It makes your head spin Fall come too soon The things i forgot Come back to loom Who would of thought Id be the one To follow you though The setting sun Movement slow I gain control I fall apart Wishing i done different Knowing this i let my loss of words sing There wont be a guiding light We're still so lost in the middle of the night Fall come too soon The things i forgot Come back to loom Who would of thought I'd be the one To follow you through The setting sun
