1. OUR SUMMIT, THIS WORLD

Distorted dreams and my lies
And my lies
And my lies
Distorted dreams and my lies
And my lies
And my lies
I let myself go
I let myself go and I found you
Cut all the tethers that bind me to this world
That bind me
I found you on top of the world
Our meeting shining through
The storm that was to ensue
The wind that blew
Our love that grew
My perception
So far from the truth
My narrow view
It hurt you too
It is I who sold us out
And it is I who owes my life
It is I who sold us out
And it is I who owes my life
Distorted dreams and my lies
And my lies
And my lies
Distorted dreams and my lies
And my lies
And my lies
I found you on top of the world
Our meeting shining through
I needed you
I need you
Come back home
Come back home


2. SWALLOWED BY THE SEA

I watched them fade
As waves often do
They were swallowed by the sea
Waves swallowed by the sea
I watched the light over the horizon
Blocked by the clouds
The lights fell away
I’m standing right here
And I’m keep on screaming
Repeating every day
Until you hear the sounds in my head
Oh god I’m sinking
I’m stuck in the sand
I’m standing right here
And I’m going to keep on screaming
Repeating everyday
Until you hear the sounds in my head
Oh god I’m sinking
Laying gently between the warm sand
Only for a moment
Until my breathe runs out
The chase after you
Was worth the struggle
That I could imagine
I’m standing right here
And I’m going to keep on screaming
Repeating everyday
Until you hear the sounds in my head
Oh god I’m sinking
I’m stuck in the sand
Only for a moment until my breath runs out
My sun fades
The lights are getting dim
My sun fades out


3. ELK RIVER FALLS

You protect me from the empty cell
From the bottom of my heart
When you’re expecting more
Slipping through my head are these vivid thoughts
The bottom of my heart
When you’re expecting more
I said I missed your calls
I said I never lied
That all fell apart
When I stared into your eyes
Like a fucking rock I fell
Landing hard on flint
The inevitable spark t start it all
The spark that led to
Led to our downfall
Sudden ignition
And explosive combustion
Let the fire that burned within
Wreak its havoc on the world
With fuel that you would provide
All beauty burned black
I can’t lose this
You protect me from this empty cell
From the bottom of my heart
When you’re expecting more
The temperature was rising
My blood was boiling
The sun was setting on my heart
Like a fucking rock I fell
Landing hard on flint
The inevitable spark to start it all
Like a fucking rock I fell
Landing hard on a flint
The inevitable spark to start it all
The spark that led to
Led to our downfall
Sudden ignition
An explosive combustion
Let the fire that burned within
Wreak its havoc on the world
With fuel that you would provide
The earth is round
But I’m standing at the edge
I can’t change what was said
I cannot change things in the past
I can’t lose this
You protect me from this empty cell
From the bottom of my heart
When you’re expecting more


4. SLEEP STATE

I don’t think this has been a wasted game
Just between you and me
We’ve been playing for way to long
I think that this might be the thing that pushes you
Drags me
Drags me along
Get up get up
This is my last chance
When you wanted me to let go of my head and my heart
I fell apart
I fell apart
I fell apart
Let go of my head
This heart awaits a second chance
A second chance to beat stronger
Cold blood rushing through my head
Only brings back stinging memories
This fogged glass surrounds me
I fell apart
Get up get up
This is my last chance
I found my legs here
Under me
I found the strength to run to you
I am not what I appear
Give me the chance to make a change
When you wanted me to let go of my head and my heart
I fell apart
I need you to need me for me


5. ASTRONOMICAL

The miracles of everyday
They blind us all
We’re numb to them
I’ve witnessed the power of the moon
I’ve witnessed the rising of the sea
The faces of the beautiful
The minds of the innocent
The earth is a stage engulfed in chaos
Life sparks
Overcoming the variables
Against all odds
Life goes on
I’ve been searching for a miracle
Hoping air would turn to gold
Scanning my existence
Hoping air would turn to gold
Events with astronomical odds of occurrence
Show me a miracle
I’ve been searching for a miracle
Hoping air would turn to gold
Scanning my existence
Hoping air would turn to gold
Events with astronomical odds of occurrence
These are miracles
Life sparks
Overcoming the variables
Against all odds
Life goes on
I found mine in the most unlikely of places
A city I despise
This time I’m not letting go of you
This time I’m not letting go of you
The miracles of everyday
They blind us all
We’re numb to them
I’ve witnessed the power of the moon
I’ve witnessed the rising of the sea
The faces of the beautiful
Compared to you they are nothing
Compared to you they are nothing
You are the air turned to gold
You are the air turned to gold


6. DEAR

Come on man
We’ve all known
We’ve all known for over a year
We’ve all known
We’ve all known what was coming
What was coming
What was here
All these lies
This is weird
I’ve been here as long as you
You let us down
You had to always lie
I hope you can see that this it’s just not me
Everyone knows how much you had to take on
This is the time where we have to come clean
There’s no more being friends
If you’re just going to run around
Creating heartaches where they don’t belong
Is this really happening
Can you give up
On your life
On your dreams
Just let’em go
I do believe I’ve let my life lead me the right way
Following my dreams
And following my friends
I can create the a life full of love
Full of my own happiness
It’s not for me to do alone
I have my friends
But I won’t sacrifice it all
Not for just one girl
So if you and me disagree
I’ll be the one smiling
And I’ll look back
I’ll look back and think of how you must be at home crying
Wishing you had not given up
You’re going to miss out on life
I hope it was all worth it
If this is all you can give
You a failure
This is the time
Time where we have to come clean


7. IMAGES

Please don't leave me dying here
Let me run my fingers through your hair
And tell you I love you just one last time
One last time
Please don't leave me in despair
These walls are closing; I'm left with no air
The scent of your skin was the last breath I bared

And I know that I am gone
Left you there with open arms
As you're waiting for me to come back home
There is so much I can take, bleeding regrets, your hearts palpitate
As you're waiting for me to come back home, to come back home

Please don't leave me dying here
Let me run my fingers through your hair
And tell you I love you just one last time
Just one last time
Please don't leave me in despair
These walls are closing, I'm left with no air
The scent of your skin was the last breath I bared

Staring at this empty glass reflects images of your past
tell me that you'll wait patiently, so I ask...

Crashing identities killing my dreams
Wings are wilted from this disease
The air I need is apart of your voice
To keep me afloat to make this noise
Crashing identities killing my dreams
Guide me through the darkest of seas
The past was lurking, but you made it halt

Please don't leave me dying here
Let me run my fingers through your hair
And tell you I love you just one last time
Just one last time

Staring at this empty glass reflects images of the past
Tell me that you'll wait patiently

This is for you
And this is for me
This is for the both of us
For eternity


8. LET OCEANS LIE

Everyday I’ve wasted,
I’ve let life pass me by.
Without an anchor, an anchor,
I’m standing helpless while I’m swallowed by the tide.

As I survey the sea,
Look out upon the cresting swells,
I count the waves, I count my dreams,
My dreams, my dreams, my dreams are fading.

I can’t make these torrents stop,
They’re crushing everything,
Weight of the water baring down,
Eroding my city, everything I worked so hard,
So hard to build.
The floods begun, I can’t make it stop.
The floods begun, I can’t make it stop.

I’ll pull myself up from disaster, greeted by a clear blue sky.
I find this city cleansed, I find myself again.
The sea is swelling and I feel the rising tides.

This city sinks to hell.
This city sinks to hell, and I can feel it crumbling.

I won’t be buried a live, this is no mans land but my own.
I’ll pull myself up from disaster.

I’ll pull myself up from disaster, greeted by a clear blue sky.
I’ll find this city, find this city cleansed.
I’ll find myself, find myself again.

I’ll pull myself up from disaster, greeted by a clear blue sky.
I find this city cleansed, I find myself again.
The sea is swelling and I feel the rising tides.

This city sinks to hell.
This city sinks to hell.


9. ECKHART

On top of the world and it’s not ok.
A failure of the highest degree.
Hundreds of miles of separation,
and it’s not ok, and I’m not ok.

In the end time kills us all,
looking to the end we miss out on the now,
we miss out on right now.

Nunca seran contento.
Until we realize.

I am absent, taken away by my thoughts.
Trapped in my own mind, the world spins out of control.
I cannot calm the seas, I cannot light the sun.
I can’t calm the seas, I can’t light the sun.

The conceived universe has died,
in front of our eyes, in front of our eyes.
This human conditions is nothing less than suffering,
is nothing less than suffering.

The beauty of this world is one in the same.
It is what I am, dissolve the barriers of your minds.
This life is suffering, we can’t fall in the trap.
This life is suffering, we can’t fall in the trap.


10. IMPART YOUR LOSS

Back again for round two, we’re still not done, we’ve just begun.
What you hear is not a lie, it’s the truth, it’s the truth.
You’ll regret what was said, by the end of this song.

Bright minds come forth, not blinded by the shit,
of all that’s meaningless, but who’s to blame.

Called to arms.
Gather your troops.
Be sure to strike with intent.
It would be a shame to only make a dent.
Called to arms.
Gather your troops.

We’ve asked for just one more chance,
but you’re backed up to the edge,
you’re backed up to the edge.
Open your eyes and do not fear,
intentions are pure and words are clear.
I’m afraid to let this go, I’m afraid to let this go.

When I’m broken and I’m gone.
When I’m broken and I’m gone.
When it’s all said and done I’ll still be my gathers son.

All we ask for is just one more chance to make everything clear.
Open your eyes our dreams are clear.
You’ll regret what was said by the end of this song.


11. A YEAR IN PASSING

Every passing wave brings a new people
and like clock work the promise fell from this fragile crest,
comes crashing down. I feel I’m drowning.
Displacing all the feeble parts to this story.

Pounding at the edge of contemplation.
At this level it’s never to be determined.
Tortured by your gift.
I am a star, a star with out planets.
All I radiate is…
Pounding at the edge of contemplation.
At this level it’s never to be determined.
Tortured by your gift.
I am a star, a star with out planets.
All I radiate is lost.

I am lost in these parts.
I am lost in the stars.
I am lost in this heart.
I am lost in the waves.

The curve of the horizon lets me clearly see
a temporal account of the last five years
and how they compress down to a single moment.
Like tentacles your roots reached out to latch
on to the first thing to come by.

Grabbing at the first thing to come drifting by your little rock.
Entangled in debris, swept away from your dream.

Passing the time as a vessel, washed up on the shore.
She’ll walk away, she’ll walk away.
Swept back by the retreating tide, she’ll walk away from the sea.

Swept out with nothing on which to cling.

At it’s core, this world is uncertain.
Probability is fundamentally a constant the world fears.
Probability is fundamentally a constant the world has come to fear,
the world has come to fear.
At it’s core.

Every passing wave brings a new people
and like clock work the promise fell from this fragile crest,
comes crashing down. I feel I’m drowning.
Displacing all the feeble parts to this story.
