1. RIVER MONSTERS

You're the wind at our backs
When we're miles from home
Pushing us forward to places unknown
Warm breezes finding us in distant places
Is what keeps us at bay
Finding comfort in our surroundings but no place is like home
And as long as this stays a part of you
We couldn't turn our backs on where we came from
Our roots remain in the grounds that raised us
And the scent of home soil follows us
Staying in our hearts
This is giving us hope in a world torn apart
Keeping it together at the seams
This is giving us hope
This is giving us hope
Keeping it together at the seams


2. WORLDS APART

I saw the weight of the world in your eyes
And watched as you couldn't carry on
Trying to find balance on unstable grounds
And then you broke when it all came down
Looking back I should have given you promise
Given you the strength to find resolution
So you could have kept one foot forward
And left your battles in the past
Everything could have been yours
But it all came back to haunt you
Dwelling on what was holding you back
It would have been okay in the end
But you stopped holding on
And you fell, divided from what held you up
What held you up
What you could never grasp became your downfall
And you let your world crumble at your feet
What I wouldn't give to have just one more day
Give you the world, trade it all away
What I wouldn't give to have just one more day
I'd give it all away
The sky has long since cleared, these clouds have long since passed
The sun's out shining on today, a new day
The years have passed and I see life in a new light
I finally understand what you were always trying to say
Life is fragile don't just waste it away
This life could be so much more if we lived for today
I swear I'll scream every word that you couldn't say
Those days are gone, but I won't let this fade away
I swear I'll scream every word that you couldn't say
Those days are gone, things are better today


3. CLOSURE

I'm sending anything I still hold for you
And I'll finally let out what I've been holding back
I'll let my pen speak these words
You left me hopeless with no remorse
Trembling at the thought of you nowhere near
I thought you were what kept me strong
And that one day you'd give me the world
Instead you shattered everything I had
Although the distance has done me well
I'd move mountains to keep you from sinking
In a world you could never handle
I still meant every word I ever said
But I'll never find myself in you
I'm moving on without your selfish ways
And leaving this in the past
Even though my love was lost on you
My ways will always remain the same
Even though my love was lost on you
My ways will always remain the same
During my departure I found myself growing
With each step I regrouped
Remember all those words I said
But I am found without you by my side
I stopped building your crumbling walls
I found strength in tearing them down
And I'll never forget the path I traveled
Following where my heart thought North
You'll find me here uncompromised
I found myself in the miles between us
I found myself in the miles between us
Separating who I am from what I could never be


4. CHASING SKYLINES

Everyday feels like a stretch
Another piece of ground I can't cover
Horizons don't divide the ground from the sky it all fades together
But when the sun goes down at the end of the day
I know nothing is impossible to a willing heart for me
This life doesn't have to be a series of defeats
This life doesn't have to be a series of defeats
'Cause I'm, I'm just glad to be breathing.
'Cause I'm, I'm just glad to be breathing.
Embrace who you are with open arms
Things may not be looking up, but I still am
Embrace who you are with open arms, with open arms
Forgetting the hardships of yesterday
And learning to find my balance in this world
I swear I'll walk on stable ground
I thought I could make the world better, turns out I made mine worse
The biggest house wont feel like home without the right people in it
Don't be afraid to show the world
This life doesn't have to be just a series of defeats
This life doesn't have to be just a series of defeats
'Cause I'm, I'm just glad to be breathing
'Cause I'm, I'm just glad to be breathing
Don't lose hope, you are never alone


5. FINDING COMFORT

Finding common grounds between you and I
Has been proving harder than once thought
But I've been taking it in strides
And as you watch me turn and walk away from what you built
This is where I'll find my way through
To find where I belong amongst the fallen leaves and broken homes
You made a trail you that thought would help me in the end
But all I found were my buried dreams under each step
It's my heart that I choose to follow
Just as you couldn't find yourself in someone's shadow
Just know I'll find my way someday
And all though I'm gone for now
This doesn't mean forever
Because I will find my way back home
To where I first felt what it was to belong
If ever I find you're long gone
I'll find your face in the path of where I came from
If ever I find you're long gone
I'll find your face in the path of where I came from
(Which leads me back home)
And even when you're not looking on
I know there's more who walk alone
With their heads held high
This is for those who made it out without compromise
And as long as there's another sun come morning
I'll find my way closer to home
This is where I'll find my way through
I'll find my way closer to home
This is where I'll find my way through
I'll find my way closer to home
