What kind of truth do you hope for Searching for cracks in the mirror? Why are you waiting on the grave? You can’t live like that, no you can’t live that way If all of your chances keep turning to stone Well, wake up son, it’s time to move on The lights have gone out, the curtain laid low, You’ve wandered for years but I know that you know That this thing might kill you before you let go So why do you need to hold on? Deep in your heart I know you’ll find That you’ve always, only, ever been alright. You’re carbon, oxygen, water and bone A speck in the vastness of all that we know And yet, you’re still breathing all on your own So why do you need to hold on? Why do you need to hold on? Do you need to hold on? You need to let go.

Eve 04:19
What just happened here? We were born in sunlight Now we’re faced to walk this earth alone I cannot say if mistakes were made When I could not tell right from wrong The serpent came And told the truth But I could not say the same for you And I know you’re scared That we’d be like Gods But I could never be so cruel Did you form me to make you proud? Why didn’t you just nail my hands to the ground? What just happened here? We were born in sunlight Now we’re faced to walk this earth alone At worst I’d say We misbehaved But it seems that’s no excuse for some Did you form me to make you proud? Why didn’t you just nail my hands to the ground?

I wake with a fever And a heart made of stone When did I surrender To what I’ve become? I sleepwalk in circles Through night and through days But I don’t see the pathway Waiting for me I’m sluggish and docile Waiting for change There’s always excuses And someone to blame But god damn this silence A curse on my home If I remain frozen On my own Pull me back into this world I’m a drop in the ocean But an ocean of waves I try to consider Just what it takes To reclaim position Through lack of control But if that takes destruction Then I’ll tear it down Pull me back into this world

Yield 03:33
It’s not alright And it’s not ok This jealousy, unyielding as the grave I took a stand And they watched me fall But I stayed to haunt them all It’s not your fault But I watched you change Then live to fight another day But you should know That when you’re gone You’ll stay Forgotten And the weight Of the lies And the truth They will bury you

You gave up on me And I see it so well But I guess that I am still destined for hell But not that I care ‘cause right here and now I tell you We could move mountains But oh my god What a mess you make There’s no sinner to be saved There are only solutions Born from the work of our hands If you sit down with me One with no soul then we can discuss what’s the best way to go To bring about change That benefits all But don’t mention Divine intervention ‘cause oh my god What a mess you make There’s no sinner to be saved There are only solutions Born from the work of our hands

I was born on the mountaintop But I was broken on the rocks As I crawled to the river’s edge To wash away my sins All the bones in the valley cried out All the bones in the valley cried out “The water won’t cleanse your name” As the voices were circling I let the darkness in As it crawled through my weakened veins To grant me strength again All the wolves in the valley cried out All the wolves in the valley cried out “The darkness won’t hide your name” I defied the heavens and the saints I turned my back on all their wicked ways And I left only questions in my wake But all these things saved me from my fate The horizon was beckoning Somewhere to begin This life of destruction In spite of creation And my reflection in the water cried out And my reflection in the water cried out “I never knew your name” For I defied the heavens and the saints I turned my back on all their wicked ways but I left only questions in my wake for all these things saved me from my fate

The circus 04:13
I watch the circus arrive And why do I dream of my demise? I know you feel it, that something not right As far as feelings go All these predictable lies They stick in my throat And in the light of no solution Well, something’s not right So let your feelings grow I don’t recall Who let them reign When I see their throne Is crumbling I should be more than something you conquer And I don’t recall who let them reign But you can’t run your kingdom from the grave What have they done? What are they taking away in our name? I watch the circus arrive And I can see bloodlust in their eyes But I know that you feel it, that something’s not right As far as feeling go. And all these predictable lies They stick in my throat And in the light of no solution Well, something’s not right So let your feelings grow And I don’t recall Who let them reign When I see their throne Is crumbling I should be more than something you conquer And I don’t recall who let them reign But you can’t run your kingdom from the grave What have they done? What are they taking away in our name?

Home 03:59
It’s clear that I don’t understand this life but I feel that I should try I’ve made mistakes but that’s how we find our way isn’t it? Isn’t it? I outlived my final years But it’s weighing down on me I forget what I once was What was I meant to be? Let’s start again and make our home I tried to find a perfect place to hide now I see that that’s no life I need you now if I am to be found I can’t sleep I won’t sink I want out I outlived my final years But it’s weighing down on me I forget what I once was What was I meant to be? Let’s start again and make our home
