Cracks in the mirror
05:18
|

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

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?

Pull me back in
04:43
|
|||
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

Work of our hands
02:04
|
|||
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

Wolves in the valley
05:05
|
|||
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?

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
