1. Faded

The person you are
The person you were
It?s like I?ve never known you
Like we?ve never met before
It?s lost and found
Just turned around

Here I stood watching
Here I stood waiting
Here my thoughts were
Running still
We were walking?round the bend
We were walking hand in hand
Things we held so dear
Now strangely unfamiliar

And all the things we had
And all we left behind
And all we couldn?t find
Couldn?t be
And after all this time
And all the things we tried
We come back just to find
It?s faded now

When you were leaving
When you were leaving me
Felt like
Like Drowning here
Never was too cool to care
Never was that unaware
I just was
So strangely tired

And all the things we had
And all we left behind
And all we couldn?t find
Couldn?t be
And after all this time
And all the things we tried
We come back just to find
It?s faded now
Faded now

The person you are
The person you were
You promised me you won?t look up
Promised me we?d never stop
It never was
That way for us

I am still hearing
I am still hearing your
Whispers in
This night of calm
Never thought we?d cross the line
Never thought we?d mind the time
But did we
Did we ever?

2. Ghost From The Past

It wasn?t until today
That you walked into my life
It wasn?t until today
That you made me mind the time

You came along down the alley
The road of both our past
Said: " The sky above me?s black,
5 years, counting still"

It wasn?t until today
That you made me face the foretime
It wasn?t until today
That you had me stride the tide

And you came riding down the wave
A ride for both our fall
"I?ve been drowning ever since,
Drowning ever since"

It isn?t until tomorrow
That you keep my innermost
It isn?t until tomorrow
That I?ll bare my soul to you

And so we?ll heed and tend the worded
And we will walk the talk
Say: "There is no time to waste now,
There is no time to waste"

It isn?t until tomorrow
That you hold my life in hand
It isn?t until tomorrow
That you make me let it go

And we?ll come floating down the river
The stream of both our hearts
Say: "We will dare to live now,
We will dare to be"

You are the one
The piece of mind
The heart gone blind
The picture never seen

You are the mist around
The haze afield
The dim and faint
A ghost from the past

You are my fear
The smile that was
The thought in time
The coming of the age

You are my debt to pay
The shade of gray
The one that was

3. For I Am

For I am one of the painless
One of the needing
One of the scarsick
One of the bleeding

My shadow?s falling
Down, down it goes
The doors are open
All life?s escaped

They hammer the nail
For I fail
In so many
Many ways

So I hang my head and cry
Long way from home
Everything?s wrong
So I hang my head in shame
Fallen from grace
Nowhere to go

For I am one of the dreamless
One of the crying
One of the earthbound
One of the dying

And the gate is falling
Down, down it goes
The doors are open
Dead time?s escaped

They tell this tale
For I fail
In so ma y
Many ways

So I hang my head and cry
Long way from home
Everything?s wrong
So I hang my head in shame
Fallen from grace
Nowhere to go

4. Not Like Myself

Feel the walls
Closing in on me
Loosing hold
On reality
It shook the ground
Here beneath my feet
Run for what once
Was my life

Lost in the echoes
The echoes of my mind
The fear of the unknown
The frozen smile of life
My weeping wavers through the night
Deep dolour feeds my wounds
Couldn?t stand my ground next to this
This monumental Me?s not like myself

Speak to me
Of those times when
I lay aside
My burdened soul
Here in my eyes now
There?s no loving light
I?m just not like that
Anymore

Lost in the echoes
The echoes of my mind
The fear of the unknown
The frozen smile of life
My weeping wavers through the night
Deep dolour feeds my wounds
Couldn?t stand my ground next to this
This monumental Me?s not like myself

I remember the days when
I lived just here and now
This certainty
To be myself
Has fallen apart
Somehow
The ways have changed
The world deranged
From the way
It used to be
Or was the one to change
In the end
Only me?

5. More Or Less A Man

Here I am
More or less a man
Lost in thought
Close to call it a day

And here I stand
Time keeps passing by
For all I am
Is loss and load
Is here with me to fall

On the run
With the years that I?ve stolen
On the run
With those fears on my mind

Hold back the tears
That could fall for me
Hold back the grief
That?s inside of me
I?m taken all the more
As sadness lives inside of me
I cried despair, please comfort me
Just set me free

Here I am
More or less a man
For all I am
Is desperate hope
Is vanity and pain

But where you are
Is there a sign of home
Is there no loss
Is there no time
Is there a love unknown?

On the run
With the years that I?ve stolen
On the run
With those fears on my mind

Hold back the tears
That could fall for me
Hold back the grief
That?s inside of me
I?m taken all the more
As sadness lives inside of me
I cried despair, please comfort me
Just set me free

6. The Giving & The Taking

Part I

I guess I?ve never been
Blind enough to shine
And the tears
In my eyes
Heard the wind
Felt the pain
Lost the words
Lost my life
I?m nothing now
And your failure to be
As exceptional as you are
Beautiful to me
Yes you are
Beautiful to me

And the kiss shared with the night
Has burned my cheek
Burned my brow

So here we are
Tied to this glimpse
Now groundless I sink
Into this life
It?s brighter than me
We crossed our souls
We held them high
In our Giving we?ve failed

You called me by my name
When I stroked the hair from your face
I was in
In your eyes
As I was in your hands
Every time you bent over me
Silently told me?bout life
With your snowblind eyes
How was I to turn away
After what I?ve done
Been the one to stroke your hair
Been the one to hold you tight
Yes, that I did

Told me what I am
Not what I?ve become
Through you
So here we are
Tied to this glimpse
Now groundless I sink
Into this life
It?s brighter than me
We crossed our souls
We held them high
In our Giving we?ve failed

Part II

The sadness in my eyes
This wretched soul
Inside my chest
Shadows of my fearful voice
Filling the room
They?re filling me

Is there a tomorrow
Yes I guess it?ll come
But time?s not on my side
If this is all there is
I might not make it through
Someone please find my way

One glimpse was all I got
Of the darkness
In both our eyes
Even now I still long for
Your light that blinded
Blinded me

Is there a tomorrow
Yes I guess it?ll come
But time?s not on my side
If this is all there is
I might not make it through
Someone please find my way

Lurching we fell
To this bitter ground
Our earthly souls
To each other they clung

Bequeathing the dreams
To our tired eyes
Dug up the buried
Tomorrow?s premonition

The night
Expects us to feel her
The night
Expects us to breath her

We breathed we were
We touched we knew
Abandoned of tears
In each other we merge

Immersing our hands
In the font of grief
Sharing the worry
The sorrow of today

The night
Expects us to feel her
The night
Expects us to breath her

Awoke to this time
Gone away
My life crumbled down
Worn out, weak
And tired
Hiding inside me

Think of the moments
Left behind
Now time?s running out
Of faith, greed
And needing
And love abandoned

So we take our heart
As once we took
Both our hands
We close our weary eyes
We raise our voice
We ground our feet

Is there a tomorrow
Yes I guess it?ll come
And time?s now on my side
If this is all there is
I might just make it through
?Cause I have found my way

We swim on our life?s ground
We write our names
On both our hearts
A sole glance from our eyes
Will catch our
Soul?s reflection

Is there a tomorrow
Yes I guess it?ll come
And time?s now on my side
If this is all there is
I might just make it through
?Cause I have found my way

So here we are
Tied to this glimpse
Now groundless I sink
Into this life
It?s brighter than me
We crossed our souls
We held them high
In the Taking
We?ll rise

Maybe all we are
Is only here and now
A fire in the night
Fleeting but bright
We gather round our tears
For us to be found
Awaiting the Taking
Of all that we are
