WE ALL HAVE DEMONS

1. THE SAGE OF WASHINGTON OAKS

Maybe We'll Come
Maybe We'll Go
It's all for you (This is all for you)
Maybe this time around we'll know what to and what not to do
And we'll go on thinking about how we all could change
But what good is changing for all of them
For all of them, for all of them
You're not changing for yourself
Save yourself
Change for yourself


2. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LOOK AWAY

The day burns darkest right before the dawn.
As I've conflicted beliefs with my own.
I am as guilty, as every one of you!
So prepare the fallout will lead me back through this nightmare.

Today Is the day to get through what you've been going through.
Show no concern to those who never even try to learn,
Show no concern to those who never even try to learn

I pray, you, you all will find this as I've found this.
And every time I forget, it finds me.
Prepare your parting gifts, and send them all,
Right off this cliff they call life.
Send them all, right off of this cliff they call life, I know that you will be here.
To teach me to fly, every every time they clip their wings.

Your names are written
Right there in the sky
You just have to read them.
Prepare your parting gifts, and send them all, right off this cliff
Send them all right off this cliff that they call life.
(I know you will be here), to teach me to fly every every time.
They clip their wings, they won't give
Reach for both hands


3. WHEN ONE WAS DESOLATE

Return right back to the hell from which you came from.
Held back by the bloodline, somethings gone horribly Wrong,
We feel as If we don't belong.
Why do I need the answers this moment?

And so they came held back by a moments grace
They only speak so they save their face, and then drift away

And the shadows know of, of the snakes,
The day will come when you'll want this,
But you'll be measured by what you take.

So where were you?
The light to lead me to this hell and through
Don't lose faith we'll find a way, the way back through.
They only speak of their saving grace,
And I see that my grace Is you!

We're all the same
Well this Is me and this Is you alone together.
We're all the same
You smile as you struggle like me,
Like these like every wicked chosen decay that lies In me,
Just let It leave just leave.
Just leave my body, are we born among demons?

Send all your chosen plagues, right back to the hell from which they came.
False belief, dies today, separate my body, and let me be.


4. HUMANNEQUIN

And I Will
Be there when you get home
And i will be there when you become all you hate
All you hate when you become
You have to see the floor
You have to see the floor before you
You can see the angels are reaching
Cross all the t's dot the i's this is your life
The contract expires when you die
You need to see the bottom of every barrel to know
Maybe i was wrong to look in to all the eyes of all of my demons
I would rather stare right back into the eyes of the devil
To find my own face
Being alone being alone never felt so good cause i found you
Maybe time was wrong (time was wrong)
Maybe time was wrong (time heals nothing)
We can all be alone, all alone, all alone
We can all be alone but we will still have you
Maybe I'll become all that i hate
Maybe I'll become maybe I'll become all i hate
Maybe I'll become you
He will pull all of us out


5. RESOURCE: RECOURSE

If you leave then we won't play
For the walls will wash away the few
And we'll stand displayed far past the expiration date
For the stage we stand upon, Is so vaguely fake.

So why are we here, for the sake of the sound?
When the sound Is falling upon deaf ears, (upon deaf ears)
So why are we here? Your faces are forward
Focused on what you call frames
So we'll offer up the canvas, to be left and un-obtained
And If no one hears the sound was it there from the start?


6. A SPONGE IN THE OCEAN

I believe in souls and I prefer semi-controlled.
When I am at this world alone,
When I am at this world alone,
I play a false god
And draw shame to the throne.

They say the best things come to those who wait,
For you to change them wait.
And they say the best things come
To those who will wait,
For you to change.
They know they know it exists,
But if they can't see it or touch it, it's fake.
Why am I here,
Why am I here?

So long, so long for holding in,
We're told, we're told the dirt that we throw
Will some day come back times ten
And cover us all.

Those who deserve love the least need it the most.
They say the best things come to those who wait,
I have been waiting and I am not hearing a thing,
Hearing a thing from you.

So long, so long for holding in,
We're told, we're told the dirt that we throw
Will some day come back times ten
And cover us all.

Those who deserve love the least need it the most.
This world reminds me that some day I won't need my skin.
Oh my God, why am I here,
Why am I here?
This is something we're born with.


7. HOPES ANCHOR

So this stays been cold,
the nights we'll share I long for.
We'll look with more than just our eyes,
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.

Every way on my own, we'll move on.
For the way will be unforgiving,
we'll move on, on our own.
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried,
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.
(I wont quit, I wont quit)

Will we be there in the end,
or will this leave me wide open?
Will this be here in the end,
or will it leave me wide open,
waiting on our second wind?
We are all enabled.

I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.
(I too will try)
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.

In all you say and do keep to the follow through,
we're nothing without you.
So tonight all the fearful will feed,
and share remains with the ones who need.
I've been used, I've been tried, I've been tested,
but I have yet to break.
So share your fears with me.

I won't quit, I won't quit,
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.
I won't quit, I won't quit,
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.
(We are enabled, we are enabled)
I won't quit, I wont quit.
(We are enabled, we are enabled)


8. MANUMISSION

These wars, we face only keep me in my place.
The shadow I cast only grows, largest just right before.
It meets me, unwilling at the floor.


9. THE MAN BEHIND THE HANDS

And the sky awaits us all,
Now I know today will be the day
Where my throat goes first,
But tonight there will be no slowing of my heart
Or calming my pulse.

I want you to feel,
I want you to feel your pulse in my words
And make your actions speak louder.

We're as children numbered in millions,
Made for a kingdom,
But all designed to fail.
We were designed to fail,
We were all designed to fail.
We were designed to fail,
We were all designed to fail.

This Is the reason he created seasons,
So we can all learn when our leaves fall.
In June, this is the reason he created seasons,
So shoot the arrow, but don't miss the apple.

I need my eyes,
I need my eyes as much as my throat,
As much as my voice.

God send us down and angel,
So she can purge the church.
Send her to the earth
As living proof of worth worship.
Not your priests,
Nor your whores,
Not anything more than,
More than what you leak out of all your pores.

You have already been marked for death,
You have already been marked for death,
You made the mark yourself.

So I ask you all, if tomorrow never came,
Would you think or would you act the same?
And I will ask you If tomorrow never came,
Would you think or act the same?

Please help the man,
Please help the men behind their masks,
Behind their hands.


10. I, THE JURY

There's a cure for all the dead,
in all the dead, all the dead.
It all started out as another failed attempt,
they all died underfed

For the sake of all that's failing,
I'd rather die on my knees
than stand here with these same old
tired and worn out feet of mine.
Walking circles,
because my chords remain unbalanced.

This is not about me,
this is not about us.
Father, Father will they let you in, let you in?
Please forgive me,
I am one of them, one of them.
Father, Father will they let you in, let you in?
Please forgive me,
I am one of them.

So tear me open and reach right in,
they don't have to go the same way the came
born to sin.
In due time, they'll all find
that they can be forgiven.

We all live in a world of convictions,
an ugly world with ugly surroundings.
You don't recognize your own faces,
'cause there's more than,
more than just one side.
We are all our own jury,
some day we'll be put on trial.

This is not about me,
this is not about us.
Father, Father will they let you in, let you in?
Please forgive me,
I am one of them, one of them.
Oh, let me in,
oh, let me in.

So tear me open and reach right in,
they don't have to go the same way the came
born to sin.
In due time, they'll all find
that they can be forgiven.

You don't forgive others for their sake,
you forgive for your own sake.
You don't forgive only for your sake,
for the sake of our falling, forgive yourself.

Today I stand tallest from my knees,
today I stand tallest from my knees,
from my knees, from my knees.


MY DEVIL IN YOUR EYES

1. NERVE ENDINGS

(Dreams are forever reoccurring!)

(If life is what happens
When we can't fall asleep,
We need to build one another's perches.
Your family and friends
Will always stab you in the front.
The end result
Is not one damned thing after another,
It's one damned thing over and over.
We aren't contempt
And this is how we learn!)

Don't you see it's time
To let go of everything?
That's keeping us from the truth,
Keeping me from you.
So what good are all the pictures
If they have yet to get the frames?
Leave the past in the past
And focus on what you don't want framed.

(Dreams are forever reoccurring!)

And life is what happens
When we can't fall asleep.
And dreams are the same thing
As nightmares.

Don't you see it's time
To let go of everything?
That's keeping us from the truth,
Keeping me from you.
So what good are all the pictures
If they have yet to get the frames?
Leave the past in the past
And focus on what you don't want framed.

Leave your past in the past
We don't have to keep
All the mistakes he's made.

(You are keeping me awake!)
Leave your past behind you

(Dreams are forever reoccurring!)


2. HUMAN(S) BEING

This is the real world in real time
And I am sick of rendering
So toss your seeds on cement
And see if they can grow alone

There is a reason behind weeds
When walls are broken we can break
Through them all
To see what continues to grow

It's hard to see humility
Because humanity is lead by us men
And we all need exorcisms and exercising
{were} born with two sides and need to stay in shape

You're so insecure standing in your own skin
Someday you won't need it

And I can't do this on my own
And I will always be an imperfect human just being me, just being me
And I will always be an imperfect human being me
Stop worrying about where you've been because it brought you back to me

It's hard to see humility
Because humanity is lead by us men
And we all need exorcisms and exercising
{were} born with two sides and need to stay in shape

And we can be delivered even if it's late
Being late is okay if we reach our destination

I am not afraid to die
I am not afraid to die
I am terrified of life
I am terrified

I am not afraid to die
I am not afraid to die
I am terrified of life
I am terrified

You're so insecure standing in your own skin
Someday you won't need it anymore
I will walk alone


3. THE DYING HYMN

So go ahead and turn away
See where it gets you in the long run.
I'm trying my hardest to grow
When its embedded in your bones
It grows with.

Are we all punished
For sins of fathers.
It seems so pointless
To have an existence
In a world misused.

It seems so pointless
To have an opinion
When yours is never true.

Just try to imagine
A life without love
But death has its hold on us.

So think upon beauty
Its like painting a picture
When everything's shaded in grey
And even when we've been face to face
We have never seen eye to eye
So take a good look in mine
Its a window to a soul that knows not why.

You cant continue this direction
It's detours and dead ends.
Don't join this kind of company
Unless your joining to fight.
Fight for your life.

Losing the fight
Is getting knocked down
And staying there.

Losing the fight
Is getting knocked down
And staying there.

So why do I turn away
Its getting me nowhere.
Nowhere in the long run

Just try to imagine
A life without love
But death has its hold on us.

So think upon beauty
Its like painting a picture
When everything's shaded in grey
And even when we've been face to face
We have never seen eye to eye
So take a good look in mine
Its a window to a soul that knows not why.

The world can't make you faithless
When faith is first.

Where is your faith?


4. BE LONGING ALWAYS

(I've got my father's teeth
And my mother's bite marks.
We are all victims of consequence.
And we can built it or tear it down
With the same two hands!)

(We all fail,
But we are not all failures.
Preaching to never fail,
We don't have to live like this!)

You live your life in shame,
(Chasing what was too far away!)
It's not a contest
And love can't be won.
You'll speak and you'll speak,
But not around to me.
Broken homes lead the way
For twisted tongues.

(Broken homes
Lead way for twisted tongues,
We will not be forgotten.
This will be the reason I refuse
To find to a way break this empathy.
We want too easy!)

(I found a foothole in the faultline.
There was only a voice,
There was only Him.
And this is what it said:)

I still love you somehow,
And I still love you somehow.

You live your life in shame,
(Chasing what was too far away!)
It's not a contest
And love can't be won.
You'll speak and you'll speak,
But not around to me.
Broken homes lead the way
For twisted times.

(I still love you, I still love you somehow!)

(I still love you somehow.
I still love you somehow
And I always will!)

(You've got a tape worm
Growing within your soul.
You're gonna have to dig it out alive.
Dig it out. Dig it out, dig it out!)

I still love you somehow,
And I still love you somehow.


5. WALKERS

Feet don't feel the world turn
Take steps like days, one at a time
We all start with the same dreams
Don't die in your sleep

We all try to run from our problems
And straight to the answers
We all spend our time chasing grace
But not listening to "my own" faith
Without that faith we just decay

We are not useless

We are not useless, just used
And I see something in you I've gone through
Useless and used (We've been used)
This is what we're all going through

Hope never loses us, hope never loses us
Hope never loses us, hope never loses us

We are not useless

We are not useless, just used (We've been used)
And I see something in you I've gone through too
Useless and used
This is what we're all going through

You'll never know that it grows
Grows inside
Until you reach inside and force it out
Will we ever make our demons leave
So we can learn in peace
We've all got it buried underneath

Hope never loses us, hope never loses us

They say that home is where the heart is
It's only yours to part with
We all have to find our way home
They say that home is where the heart is
You made me a home

We won't feel the world turn
If we keep standing still


6. DEMON TEETH

Twenty something
Years of seclusion
Seems to be quite enough

Just get me out of this town
It's like a dried up,
lake full of debris and I am starting to drown
Sometimes I can see clearer
Through rear view mirrors
Then windshields with
All the places I've been

How do I find my destination?
Neither one of us is getting out
Of the situation alive
Until the other one dies

And it wont be me
You clench your hold like you clench your teeth
And I will send you back to hell
Holding your jaw,
Like your demon teeth

Your demon teeth

Put your ghosts in the past
Don't put your torment back
Beneath it's reoccurring
Pull apart its jaw
And smash out its teeth

Who do I believe?
When everyone sees and speaks
Based in part by what they themselves believe
I'd Rather see a man of god
Than hear from one
Any day of the week
So take hold of these demons
Cast them into pigs
But don't let a single one of them leap
Take their filth
And let them learn
(No, no, no, no) Just let them teach

(x2)
Instead of reading the book (I've read the book)
Try Meeting The Author (I've met the author)

That's my problem, I've had the devil on both sides
With god at the bottom (ughhhh)

Chin Up
Chin Up

He doesn't pick where he stands,
I pick where I place him.


7. FALLING AWAKE

In spite of my cheerful demeanor
I'm afraid to set foot in the world
We watch the same dead clocks
These small hands need to meet the larger again

And I chose a road, the one I didn't know
Now it has brought me here
The stories I've have gathered in travels,
I wouldn't trade for the years back

There's a war inside,
I need something to get me through this
Without you, am I ever myself?
The only thing holding us back is us
(?)
And ghosts from the last time
Are all the same

We can live again (x3)

All we can do is try and try and try and try to change
For ourselves

The night has been my covering
And the day is my disguise
But I can't seem to stay far enough away
From self created lies

For those of you who question your purpose
Look inside the eyes staring back at you
Past your devil
They long for purpose too
And maybe that's yours, I know cause it's mine

You are the second-hand air that I breathe
And these songs were made for you to sing before me
And they are more than just sound
And you are more than just an audience
This is the family that I've found

The night has been my covering
And the day is my disguise
But I can't seem to stay far enough away,
From self created lies

I chose a road, and now I know
Nothing will ever come easy

I chose this road
Staying asleep is worse than falling awake
I chose this road
Standing asleep is worse than falling awake


8. QUOTE ON QUOTE

(You said to live life
And live it in abundance,
But you yourselves are abundantly dead!)

(And if not for a reason,
I would have another reason to stay.
I need to find a place
Where I can fill my faith,
I don't need it taken!)

(Oh, I will learn to let you go.
Oh, learn to let you go
Back to your shadow!)

Take me to the place
Where I can restore my faith.
Oh, I wrote and said that you are skin.
One day they will be
The earth and it's world.

(Are you a preacher or a pasture,
A teacher and a bastard?
Are you...
Are you a preacher or a pasture,
A teacher and a bastard just like me?
Just like me!)

(You said to live life.
Since the day we were made,
We've all started to die.
But I can only listen once,
Well, nobody ever dies once!)

Take me to the place
Where I can restore my faith.
Oh, I wrote and said that you are skin.
One day they will be
The earth and it's world.

(Go on, speak for yourself.
Speak for yourself!)

Pull apart your scarecrows
Pull apart your scarecrows


9. THIS LONG SONG IS YOURS

Heavens have been forever crowding,
Then I still have four more years to devil with.
I didn't create the disease,
I just try to ignore.
I won't be missed by, but I just can't go.

No, don't take me back there,
Don't take me back there, no.
Bury me a hole in the sky,
Not in my mind.
No one ever makes it out of life alive,
There's no excuse for you to not try.

Heavens have been forever crowding,
Then I still have four more years to devil with.
I didn't create the disease,
But now you were created in me.

No, don't take me back there.
Don't take me back there, no.

Our lives are old,
But our destinies are young.
In my travels tonight,
You are my inspiration.
You'll make it back this night more alive.

The cleanest we'll be is the day before
We're buried in soil,
Where we'll make peace with worms.
And I'll see you in dust when I turn.

Go make your peace.
You still won't know
Where you'll be alone,
But I'll be there with you.

The worlds finds a way
To pull hope over my own head
And bury me there.
And one day two wings air,
This is the worst not the last
And I've always needed you.

We only crossed this far to show
They will forever try to close.
We've all mistakes but grown from,
The last one that you give
Will be your own.


10. FILL;AVOID

I’ll never know comfort till the sun sets.
I’ve always known the struggle when the light and my eyes met.
They connect.
Put me back in the earth.
I came from dust and not dirt.
You made me from dust, not dirt.


KNOW HOPE

1. BURN VICTIMS

They say the things that love you will never stay, is that really true?
I guess you made everyone leave before they could hurt you, but who taught this to you?
Hurting people will always be hurting people, it was you that made me me
Every storm made me soak to find strong roots, I am reminded, I am reminded
All my roots are starting to show yet I'm still trying to grow
And I am reminded, I am reminded there is still hope

And I hope one day you will understand pain is just a brand
I've given my life to keep it away from your skin
And I hope one day you will understand pain is never planned
And the start of a cycle is always the end when we are the victims

And that's how I know I need to write about this for you
The youth that never got told the truth
That's my problem, I've got intentions on both sides
Stitched together with lies and more songs left to write
Do things., write this time about how to untangle all the knots that we keep tied
My stomach is weak because you made me me and someone made you you
We are the victims and I am the hope

And I hope one day you will understand pain is just a brand
I've given my life to keep it away from your skin
And I hope one day you will understand pain is never planned
And the start of a cycle is always the end when we are the victims
And I hope one day you will understand pain is never planned
When the start of the cycle is always the end when we are the victims

You, you are the victim and I am still learning that I can be the hope


2. SMOKE AND MIRRORS

If you give up on me, then I give up on everything
I didn't come this far to not tell you the truth
And you'll know it's true because the answers that I tell you will make you all feel sick
Feel hateful, feel useless and used, just remember that every piece of trash
Was one time itself first used

Say the word

Say the word and I will go quickly to a light
Too much of any one thing at a time will leave you blind
Say the word and I will go quickly to a light
Too much of any one thing at a time just left me blind

You need to get through what you are going through
Some day someone, somewhere will need you
If you give up on me, then I give up on everything
Back and forth my reason grows, I didn't choose this I was chose
Back and forth my reason grows, I didn't choose this and I want to go
Home is where the hurt is and no one even knows

Say the word and I will go quickly to a light
Too much of any one thing at a time will leave you blind
Say the word and I will go quickly to a light
Too much of any one thing at a time just left me blind

If you give up on me then I give up on everything
If you give up on me then I give up on everything


3. LEARNED BEHAVIOR

We are the same disease
One way too old
One way too young to treat
Our feet stuck in the same concrete
We just want to be free

Aren't you sick of knowing that you could truly be
Something that stays and makes a difference before it leaves
Aren't you sick of hearing all the pain in me
Aren't you sick of being sick from the same disease

Come to me with anything that you'll ever need
Come to me when you're rebuilding
Sometimes it's good to build up walls, not to keep anyone out
But to see who cares enough to knock them down

We can start again
With our names written in new cement
We can write the date
Right after we dig ourselves out of the messes we've made
You'll never know
What you have until it's gone
Through hell for you

Come to me with anything that you'll ever need
Come to me when you're rebuilding
Sometimes it's good to build up walls, not to keep anyone out
But to see who cares enough to knock them down

You'll never stop making mistakes
But if you learn from them you will never make the same ones twice
Next time there may be no next time

Come to me with anything that you'll ever need
Come to me when you're rebuilding
Sometimes it's good to build up walls, not to keep anyone out
But to see who cares enough to knock them down


4. LIVING BREATHING SOMETHING

Question everything
Have I already been buried
I can see no light but I am still stuck here breathing
Maybe a wretch like me is supposed to stay forever buried
So you can see the analogy of what happens to you when you keep things buried beneath
I have been buried for years but why am I still breathing
I don't make mistakes
I bury them

Suffocating soul that the devil just won't claim

I dug this grave now it's time to tell the truth from it
You put one foot on the lid when did I let it close
One foot on the lid 5 feet left to go
Forgive your enemies but never forget their names

I am my own worst enemy
Suffocating soul that the devil won't claim
I don't know if I believe in you anymore but everything needs an analogy


5. STRANGE COMFORT

I know I'm lost with no motivation to find my way back
I left myself down a paper trail of the pages of my mind, now I want them back,
I'm somewhere between no courage among the other things I lack
Lost in desperation where an ember turns to an ash
Somewhere along this path I crossed the line
Broken promises I've made without thinking twice
Left my second thought and reason behind
All in the name of making this world mine
All in the name of building my own
Why do I think that I have to live this life alone, I know I'm lost

I know, I know I'm lost, I know, I know I'm lost
But what scares me the most is I'm starting to feel at home
I know, I know I can't stay here forever, when we lose ourselves we find each other

I find this strange comfort in being lost in life
Wherever I end up will I belong there this time?
So when you feel your heart sink into your chest
Don't forget everything is okay in the end
We are not okay but this is not the end yet

We are not okay but this is not the end yet
We are not okay but this is not the end

I know, I know I'm lost, I know, I know I'm lost
But what scares me the most is I'm starting to feel at home
I know, I know I can't stay here forever, when we lose ourselves we find each other


6. IN LIGHT IN ME

How am I supposed to write about hope with catchy hooks and melodies and make you sing along
Well I titled this whole album before I tried to write a song
And the truth is hope can be a burning sun
The closer that you seem to get the quicker you get lost in the sight of
It keeps casting it's shadow of our burdens behind us and the more we try stand inside the light
The more a darkness seems to grow
Is darkness the shade where I've found peace

So maybe this time I need to be standing for someone to believe
Like a weathered oak with know hope carved in me
So maybe this time I need to be standing for someone to believe
You can take the life from me but I'll always be here standing, still
Every time you need me
Hope is at the root but each day
It's still casting a shadow of my darkness behind me
And the more I try to show you with the light
The more a darkness seems to follow
You will never change what you refuse to face
Like a shadow we always grow every time we try to find the light

So maybe this time I need to be standing for someone to believe
Like a weathered oak with know hope carved in me
So maybe this time I need to be standing for someone to believe
You can take the life from me
Maybe this time I need to be
Maybe this time I need to be me
You don't know who you are anymore
Tonight I don't know either but we are standing still

We can't be moved
When hope is at the root of you
Every time the wind grows still and I continue to lose movement
You are there to walk up chin down and carve your name
Every time the wind grows still and life pushes you further
Come carve your name
Know hope in me


7. SILVER LINING

Some days you're the pigeon and some days you are the statue
Some days you're meant to just sit back and observe
While the world takes its turn and just shits all over you
Some days you need the rain because no one gets paid
To come clean up the messes that life makes all over you
I don't know who I am in this moment
I know I disappoint you
You don't know who I am anymore
Well that makes two of us
Are you following a god and this song got in the way
I'm sorry I'm sorry but I am not sorry
Is this the truth, the light, the sight, the roots, or the noose
Everyone is religious only until they don't need to be anymore
That's not faith no not to me
All I have let to make are memories and mistakes
And new questions I'll take to the grave
Do you know how it feels to have your past sink it's teeth right into your back
Only to turn around and see yourself
Keep the hell away from me
The devil you know is better than the devil you don't
Keep the hell away from me
You can still lead a positive life with a negative mind
Keep the hell away from me


8. STEADFAST

We've been deserted, that doesn't mean that we deserve it
Is it worth it, keeping ourselves at bay
Set sail, you've spent way too much time living your life, in exile
To say goodbye, to the shoreline

Maybe if I'm sent off to sea, I'll find out what this means to me
I've got a message I carry, that I have forgotten to read

Maybe if I'm sent off to sea, I'll find out what this means to me
I've got a message I carry, that I have forgotten to read

I don't need another day, floating away
Lost in the sea of regret I've made
I want to wash up new for once
For once I don't want to float face down

We've been deserted, that doesn't mean that we deserve it
Is it worth it, keeping ourselves at bay

You can try and fail, but don't fail to try
Do I deserve this
If you're deserted, you can't desert it
You can never leave an island in your mind until you lose sight of the shoreline
You can try and fail, but don't fail to try
Some people spend their entire lives in exile
You can't never leave, an island until you lose sight of the shoreline
Times like these they come in waves
Make your footprint and send it right back away

All you're saying to me tonight, here in the open skyline
Without darkness, no star can learn to guide the way

Maybe if I'm sent off to sea, I'll find out what this means to me
I've got a message I carry, that I have forgotten to read

Maybe if I'm sent off to sea, I'll find out what this means to me
I've got a message I carry, that I have forgotten to read

You are not as lost as me
You are not as lost as me

No your not, no your not as lost as me
If you were and you were I wouldn't be here writing

No your not, no your not as lost as me
If you were if you were I wouldn't be here writing

Some day you will find me


9. HOLE HEARTED

Am I stuck inside my own mind or am I just an insect in amber frozen in a moment and forgotten in time
Where is my mind
I don't want the world to see me I want the world to see where it is I've been
I just want someone to feel like they can be something
There's got to be more than feeling this alone

I've been through enough to leave me alone
Now I feel so confused
Maybe I was made to learn on my own

I don't want to go to the grave wondering what I could have made
Will I ever change
I don't want to live day by day wondering if I'll ever change
Get back
I don't want to live day by day
It's never too late to make the change
Everyone you've known
These moments you're lost and alone
You've pushed everyone away even when they tried to stay
Where did this come from
Enough is enough

I've been through enough to leave me alone
Now I feel so confused
Maybe I was made to learn on my own

I can't do this on my own


10. SAVIORSELF

I wish I had more time to sort out all of this inside my mind
I only have one day
It's given at dawn and at dusk it gets taken away
I can't control what I think
So how can I control what I say
I don't know who I am at the moment and I can't pray
I can't pray for the answers anymore

I only have myself to blame for losing control
I've always needed something maybe I needed to be alone

And I don't need to be saved
I'm not saying that it's too late
But way too much has changed
You call it savior
And I call it a learned behavior
You call it the light I refuse to see
And I call it the mask I've seen underneath
Just do and say the same thing
No opinion preserved in stained glass holds more moral truth to me
I only have myself to blame for losing control

I still need to be saved just not by you
I just need to be safe
But not by you

I only have myself to blame for losing control
I've always needed something maybe I needed to be alone


11. HAVE.WILL

And I owe it all to you
This change must fall on your
Change for everyone else and you'll do things backwards
Nothing works out itself
Move on
So stop running away
I can feel you cause your feet are keeping time with me
How could anyone choose to live this way
In the past they won't escape
We are the same you and me
No direction and a steady pace
Some of us don't choose to live this way
Maybe the best part of you was waiting for your past to die

This change must fall on your
Change for everyone else and you'll do things backwards
Nothing works out itself
Move along

Today one step can lead to many
And I want you to run in time with me not away
It's so much easier to just breathe in the air than it is to exist in it

Sometimes we carry ourselves only as dead weight
Sometimes it takes your whole world falling apart
To really know what you stand for
What do you stand for
Life falls apart but did you ever see where every piece could land
Maybe pieces of you were preplanned to fall apart
So they could fall together
So they fall in place for someone else

And you said that you needed a voice
And I needed a reason
To believe
Believe in yourself because you are the same as me
No one every changes if they don't change for themselves
You're not alone
How are we supposed to live
How are we supposed to breathe
How are we supposed to carry on with all of this buried

This change must fall on you
Change for everyone else and you'll live your life backwards
I understand you
You're not evil despite what they may say


12. NEVER ENDERS

And I'm too abused to walk away from this
Of all I've been through I just wouldn't change it
If I could go back in time and change everything
I wouldn't change a thing because it made me who I am
And I'm so confused
I don't seem to know what's real or what's make believe anymore but I must move forward for you
And do this all for you
Without you there is no me and I'll stay even if you choose to leave
The world will always keep turning it's back on me
And I just wouldn't change it

If I could go back in time and change everything I wouldn't change a thing because it made me
I am not leaving this room tonight until I know that I've changed at least one life
And you are not leaving not knowing, not knowing how you are changing mine

Please don't sing louder than me unless your singing with a heart backing a beat
Then you'll know there's a reason for this song to find you and sing along

This is not another singalong
This is one breath made from different lungs
