1. I AM

The disconnect
Is welling up,
And good intentions are not enough.
Your words are weary,
Their hearts are strained,
And idle vows find the deepest pains.

I'm sick, I'm tired
Of hollow hope,
Of promises, empty,
Your way with words,
They're feeding back inside my head,
Oh, the things I could say that won't change a thing.

I am not the same,
I won't feed on fame.

You're one of a thousand voices,
In my head that all just sound the same.
If mine never made a difference,
It won't make the meaning change.
You're one of a thousand voices,
In my head that all just sound the same.
If I will make a change,
It's by my words and not my name.

I'm tired, I'm sick
Of misfit beggars
With able tongues and easy outs.
I hear you clearer than you hear yourself.
Bite down on your blindness, and spit it out.

I am not the same,
I won't feed on fame.

You're one of a thousand voices,
In my head that all just sound the same.
If mine never made a difference,
It won't make the meaning change.
You're one of a thousand voices,
In my head that all just sound the same.
If I will make a change,
It's by my words and not my name.

I won't sink into the sea of grey,
I won't melt into the choir of angels.

I won't sink into the sea of grey,
A violence of colour.
I won't melt into the choir of angels,
I'll step up and scream it -
I am dissonant.

I am not the same,
I won't feed on fame.

You're one of a thousand voices,
In my head that all just sound the same.
If mine never made a difference,
It won't make the meaning change.
You're one of a thousand voices,
In my head that all just sound the same.
If I will make a change,
It's by my words and not my name.


2. PERSPECTIVES

Be honest with yourself
Do you see in your reflection someone else
You're fogging up the glass, and looking for direction
So close you can't see past

I'll make amends, I'll make believe
I'll make my mind, I'll make you see
I'll take a chance, I'll take a moment
All for nothing...

All my life
I tried letting you inside to
See the world through my eyes
And all I see (is time I've wasted)

All my life you thought that
I've lost my mind
If I could just get it right
Then You might see
You just don't get it
(You just don't get it)

The lights left on all night
The locks have all been changed
While I'm inside

And I'm beating down the door
Knuckles bloody broken raw
Tried to take these walls and turn them inside out
It's all for nothing...

All my life
I tried letting you inside to
See the world through my eyes
And all I see (is time I've wasted)

All my life you thought that
I've lost my mind
If I could just get it right
Then You might see
You just don't get it
(You just don't get it)

I'll make amends, I'll make believe
I'll make my mind, I'll make you see
I'll take a chance, I'll take a moment
Let it out and let go...

It's all for nothing!

(It's all for nothing)

All my life
I tried letting you inside

All my life
I tried letting you inside to
See the world through my eyes
And all I see (is time I've wasted)

All my life you thought that
I've lost my mind
If I could just get it right
Then You might see
You just don't get it
(You just don't get it)

You just don't get it (You just don't get it)
It's all for nothing

(You just don't get it)


3. COLOURBLIND

For better or for worse
Our vision of the future's getting blurred
Between the black and white
Naming every shade of grey has left us colourblind

We are all for none and none for all
We are the sickness and the symptom, and the cure
We are all for none and none for all
We are the sickness and the symptom, and the cure

So close your eyes, let the colours fly
And hide from the noise outside
We're colourblind from the black and white
But we've never burned so bright

It's weighing on my mind
Did we forget the way a diamond shatters light?
A sight for weary eyes
The colours of the twilight rise and bridge the great divide

We are all for none and none for all
We are the sickness and the symptom, and the cure
We are all for none and none for all
We are the sickness and the symptom, and the cure

So close your eyes, let the colours fly
And hide from the noise outside
We're colourblind from the black and white
But we've never burned so bright

Set fire to the sun
Let the colours run

So close your eyes, let the colours fly
We're colourblind from the black and white

So close your eyes, let the colours fly
And hide from the noise outside
We're colourblind from the black and white
But we've never burned so bright

But we've never burned so bright


4. NEW ROMANTICS

A hopeless romantic, self-medicated on reality;
A misunderstanding is all that anyone can see in me

Pulling up the floor to go deeper down
Tearing at the soil to find the ground

I’m trying to find myself
Coming back to the same words to try to tell a different story
I’m farther from myself
Coming back to the same words, in hope they come alive without me

A moment’s reflection has given me a second chance to heal;
A loss of connection in matching up my words to how I feel

I’ve taken on too much, empty pages on the floor
Tearing volumes from the shelf to find what I’ve been looking for...
Then it hit me

Well, I haven’t changed. I’m still the same man I was before
Well, I haven’t changed, I’m still the same man I was, just trying to find myself…

I’m trying to find myself, coming back to the same words
I’m farther from myself, coming back to the same words


5. GLASSHOUSE

A silver line, a disease on the horizon,
A whistling in the trees - it marches on

It's like a tide - impatient and insincere
A threat born on the wind - it marches on

A weight on the air I feel it in the silence
Take a second to listen
The earth starts to shake, the sky begins to fall
Can you hear it coming down?

I was safe, I was brave
Until the sky collapsed on me
Can you hear the thunder in my chest?
Can you feel how heavy lies the air?
Let it fall, let it fall
Let it all be swallowed by the storm
Can you hear the thunder in my chest?
Rain down on me, rain down on me.

Slamming doors - I'm here but I'm trapped inside
The darkest shades of grey roll through my head

A weight on the air I feel it in the silence
Take a second to listen,
The earth starts to shake, the sky begins to fall
Can you hear it coming down?

I was safe, I was brave
Until the sky collapsed on me
Can you hear the thunder in my chest?
Can you feel how heavy lies the air?
Let it fall, let it fall
Let it all be swallowed by the storm
Can you hear the thunder in my chest?
Rain down on me, rain down on me.

Don't want to admit to myself
This can't just be in my head!

I was safe, I was brave
Until the sky collapsed on me
Can you hear the thunder in my chest?
Can you feel how heavy lies the air?
Let it fall, let it fall
Let it all be swallowed by the storm
Can you hear the thunder in my chest?
Rain down on me, rain down on me.


6. DIVISION SYMBOLS

I won't ask for a second
I won't ask for a chance
I won't look to the heavens
I found hell where I stand

And I feel like I am fighting a lost cause
Just to be heard I can't hear from the howling
Drowning every single word

Let me count the ways you kill me, you kill me
Let me count the ways you...

Drag me down with every word
Out of your mouth, the things we sing out loud
When no one's listening!
Drag me down with every word
Out of your mouth, the things we sing out Loud
Let me count the ways you kill me
You kill me

And I feel like I'm floating
Faced down in a crowd
Caught up in the current
In an ocean of sounds
How did this room become so crowded
With no walls to keep us in
How did we end up here
Surrounded on all sides
Yet so alone

Let me count the ways you kill me
You kill me
Let me count the ways you....

Drag me down with every word
Out of your mouth, the things we sing out loud
When no one's listening!
Drag me down with every word
Out of your mouth, the things we sing out Loud
Let me count the ways you kill me
You kill me

Alone in this house
Were all broken and hopeless
Again and again and again!!!
We fight till its over, it's over, it's over
It's over again!!

I won't' look to the heavens
I found hell where I stand
Let me count the ways you....

Drag me down with every word
Out of your mouth, the things we sing out loud
When no one's listening!
Drag me down with every word
Out of your mouth, the things we sing out Loud
Let me count the ways you kill me
You kill me


7. STILLWATER

Piling stones to guide the sea,
To say we stopped the tide, but we
We never did (did we)
We never did (did we)

We build as only children know to build
We made a way where there's a will
No slowing down or standing still
Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old and never notice
How did we gain the world and lose the moment
Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us
And drowns us all

Finding cracks in our intent
We can't stop the water from rushing in
We can't stop the walls collapsing in
The rocks give to rain and to ruin again

We build as only children know to build
We made a way where there's a will
Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old and never notice
How did we gain the world and lose the moment
Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us
And drowns us all

Watching the years, all washed away
Scattered stones all that remains
A kingdom swallowed by the sea

Innocent and reckless
Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old and never notice
How did we gain the world and lose the moment
Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us
And drowns us all

How did we get so old and never notice
How did we gain the world and lose the moment
Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us
And guides us all


8. MOMENTARY

I'm just interference
Noise and whispers
A shadow on the light
I'm dust on the record
Stop a static, a click, a compromise

A discord, a spark, a silhouette
A shady ghost, an echo of what's left

Help me touch the ground
'Cause all that's heavy in me still won't weigh me down

Path of least-resistance
Pins and needles
A short-circuit to the ground

Now I'm interruption
Infinite and momentary
A modest distraction
Incomplete and temporary

Help me touch the ground
'Cause all that's heavy in me still won't weigh me down

Bring me back to the surface
I'm done with this weightlessness
Help me find my way back down

I'm just interference
Moments placed in time

Now I'm interruption
Infinite and momentary
A modest distraction
Incomplete and temporary

Help me touch the ground
'Cause all that's heavy in me still won't weigh me down

Bring me back to the surface
I'm done with this weightlessness
Help me find my way back down


9. MOTION SICKNESS

How could I miss you if never met you
If that road turned some other way and never looked back?

There's a feeling, overwhelming, like I couldn't belong
Without this point of contact; everything would be wrong
Stop motion on the ceiling, skipped frames, and I'm forgetting the in-between

When the world is spinning and I am standing still,
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still, you flicker
If I never knew what I'd lost, you flicker
And I turn around and you're gone? You flicker

A moment lost, is not so eas'ly found
If that glance turned some other way and never looked back?

There's a feeling, overwhelming, this is where I belong
This melody, inseparable from singing the song
I'm floating on the feeling, skipped beats and I'm forgetting the in-between

When the world is spinning and I am standing still
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still....
You flicker

If I never knew what I've lost (you flicker)
And I turn around, and you're gone (you flicker)

If you turn left and I turn right
Would the curves of the earth
Bring our paths back to cross again

Would I trust fate
To bring back the tide
Or would I dive head first
To feel you on my skin

(You flicker)

If I never knew what I've lost (you flicker)
And I turn around, and you're gone (you flicker)

When the world is spinning and I am standing still (you flicker)
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still (you flicker)


10. DEGREES OF SEPARATION

It's never ending a season I can't shake,
a foreign winter a curse I can't escape
I feel the winter burying my bones
a core reminder that I'm so far from home
I know we're worlds apart
Seasons stitched together somehow

What's it like where you are?

It hurts to know we're always
Worlds apart (Can you feel it, can you feel it)
This burning I feel is slowing down my heart
(Can you feel it, can you feel it),
it hurts to know we're worlds apart,
it hurts to know, what its like where you are

A fire in my skin an ache in every burn
My soul is sinking the cold is creeping in
I feel the winter burying my bones
A core reminder that I'm so far from home
I know we're worlds apart
Seasons stitched together somehow

What's it like where you are?
I can't recall I'm too far

It hurts to know we're always
Worlds apart (Can you feel it, can you feel it)
This burning I feel is slowing down my heart
(Can you feel it, can you feel it),
it hurts to know we're worlds apart,
it hurts to know, what its like where you are

I can see my breath floating away
The warmth in me escapes
I can't recall I'm too far!!!

It hurts to know we're always
Worlds apart (Can you feel it, can you feel it)
This burning I feel is slowing down my heart
(Can you feel it, can you feel it),
it hurts to know we're worlds apart,
it hurts to know, what its like where you are


11. GREY HAVENS

The edge it calls to me from the grey
I don't know what I will say and I'm afraid of
being oblivious to oblivion
I'll say a prayer under my breath
And hope you'll hear

If it's my time to go
I don't want to look back

I'm waiting for something
Like a light to guide my way
Just step into nothing
When I'm not quite sure that
I don't want to stay
I want to believe that
That somehow I'll be fine
And everything's alright and
This is not my time

The art of balancing is lost on me
I don't know which way to fall into Infinity
Will it feel like waking up
Or falling back to dream
And sleep forever on

If it's my time to go
I don't want to look back

I'm waiting for something
Like a light to guide my way
Just step into nothing
When I'm not quite sure that
I don't want to stay
I want to believe that
That somehow I'll be fine
And everything's alright and
This is not my time

Will it feel like waking up like before
The way your dream just disappears
Will it feel like giving up
And letting go and drifting out

I'm waiting for something
Like a light to guide my way
Just step into nothing
When I'm not quite sure that
I don't want to stay
I want to believe that
That somehow I'll be fine
And everything's alright and
This is not my time

This is not my time
This is not mine!


12. BLOODLINES

If I'm bred for failure, just tell me once
'Cause I don't feel like I'm meant to just survive
If I have no future, if it's already paying for the past
Just give me the pieces so I can call them mine

I don't care if I leave empty handed
I will learn if I make my own mistakes
I don't care if you don't understand it
I will learn if you let me find my way
Just by killing time, we kill ourselves
(My way)
Just by giving up, we give ourselves away

If I'm born to falter
And I've already fallen from your grace
Just give me the peace to prove that I'm alive

I don't care if I leave empty handed
I will learn if I make my own mistakes
I don't care if you don't understand it
I will learn if you let me find my way
Just by killing time, we kill ourselves
(My way)
Just by giving up, we give ourselves away

If I'm the bastard child of best intentions
If I'm the bitter voice of discontent
If I'm the broken hope of indecision
At least my futures in my hands

If I'm the bastard child of best intentions
If I'm the bitter voice of discontent
If I'm the broken hope of indecision
At least my futures in my hands

If I'm the bastard child of best intentions
If I'm the bitter voice of discontent
If I'm the broken hope of indecision
At least my futures in my hands

(My way)
Just by killing time, we kill ourselves
(My way)
Just by giving up, we give ourselves away
