1. Leave It Behind Us

Speak to me
I can't hear when your words not spoken
Where's your belief to me
The one that could never be broken
I'll take your burdens and sorrows
And I'll rise if I can
It's your silence that makes me so hollow

We should leave it behind us
Cause we're lost and astray
All things that were known now are changing

I'll take your burdens and sorrows
And I'll rise if I can
It's your silence that makes me so hollow

We should leave it behind us
Cause we're lost and astray
All things that were known now are changing
And we should leave it behind us
Cause we're lost and astray
All things that were known now are changing
Everything changes

Make way for the darkness
and create space for something new
Remove the blinds that held us
from seeing what we really should

We should leave it behind us
Cause we're lost and astray
All things that were known now are changing
And we should leave it behind us
Cause we're lost and astray
All things that were known now are changing
And we should leave it behind us
Cause it can't stay the same
All the things that were known now are changing

2. You

I wear these marks of shame
Not with pride my head's held low
And I aim beyond where I stand today
Far beyond fate where I am placed
And if weakness is a virtue
And an act of strength a pride
Then I am king and misery's my empire

You
You said you would be there
Always claimed you would see me
Never ever forget
Always try to forgive
Always be understanding
If I was wrong you'd believe me
If days were hard you would ease them
Things would stay the same
We would never change
Always be who you are my friend

I dress in shame and guilt
With despair as my robe
Must save this abandoned ship
From the mist and the raging storms
If weakness is a virtue
And an act of strength a pride
Then I am king and misery's my empire

You
You said you would be there
Always claimed you would see me
Never ever forget
Always try to forgive
Always be understanding
If I was wrong you'd believe me
If days were hard you would ease them
Things would stay the same
We would never change

And you...

3. Wrong

I run to prevent the fall
To escape the wounds
The unanswered calls
Just put it all to sleep
Lay it all to rest
I need to rid the doubt
To believe again
To even breathe in the same way
But someone needs to show me how

I always thought that I would know
That when things were broken it would show
Somehow I though I always knew
The difference between the lie and truth
I always thought I'd live a little longer
To have a chance to grow a little stronger
But maybe I was wrong

I ran but I did still fall
I can't prevent the wounds
I'm sore and my suffering's greater
How I wish for sleep so that I could rest
And I run from the obvious
Been so devious cause I thought that I was free
Thought that I was free and

I always thought that I would know
That when things were broken it would show
Somehow I thought I always knew
The difference between the lie and truth
I always thought I'd live a little longer
To have a chance to grow a little stronger
But maybe I was wrong

Somehow I thought I'd always know
If you were hurting it would show
We are broken and I'm left alone...
Then I was wrong
Maybe I was wrong
I always thought I'd live a little longer
To grow a little stronger
I always thought that I would know
That when things were broken it would show
Somehow I though I always knew
The difference between the lie and truth

I always thought I'd live a little longer
To have a chance to grow a little stronger
But maybe I was wrong

4. Frozen

Everything is built from change
All the things we recreate
Fallen – lost – forsaken faith
The unspoken made us frozen
If we took time to contemplate
The years has passed and now it's late
Much too late to compensate
The loss that made me frozen

Reaching out with dying hope to still be seen
Longing to belong

We're frozen we're numb
We're misunderstood when we're hurting
We're frozen we're numb

If you could dive into my waters
Where the light's been chased away
If you could wake inside my hurt
Where all needed sleep is slayed
Then your eyes would see what I see
You can feel what I feel
And we meet on the surface
To catch the same air to breathe

We're frozen we're numb
We're misunderstood when we're hurting
We're frozen we're numb
We have left this alone too long to see
that we are hurting

We're frozen we're numb
We're misunderstood when we're hurting
We're frozen we're numb
We feel overlooked when we're hurting

5. Restoring The Loss

Maybe the pain will bring me closer
Maybe the hurt makes it easier
If isolation plants the seed to stay
Repainting the shade of grey

Don't ask me to stretch any longer
These arms are strained beyond what they can take
Don't ask me for strength cause it's gone
And I've reached my end restoring the loss to faith

My moonlit walks
don't scatter thoughts of shattered dreams
The lack of sleep serves as morphine
Awake and stretch for any shoreline
Just as the current tears me to sea

Don't ask me to stretch any longer
These arms are strained beyond what they can take
Don't ask me for strength cause it's gone
And I've reached my end restoring the loss to faith
Don't ask me to feel any longer
These feelings been worn since I sat down to play
Don't ask me to help cause all aid is lost

Don't ask me to feel
These feelings been worn
Don't ask me for help
This heart has been torn

Don't ask me to stretch any longer...

6. To Fit The Mold

We are liars and vultures
Rapists of the weak
Plunders of peace
We're on a constant search for someone
To walk us through the storm
To help us when we're lost
Make us understand we're not alone
We are defenseless
Not knowing when we will fall
Without words and speechless
Walk us through the storm
On a bound collision course

We're scared we'll end up to nothing
And we change to fit the mold
We are...
We're accidents forced to happen

We are liars and vultures
Rapists of the weak
Plunders of peace
And we are hiding from each other
Afraid you'll see our right face
We're planning the escape
To rid our fate

We're scared we'll end up to nothing
And we change to fit the mold
We are...
We're accidents forced to happen
We are the hollowed center and...
And we bend to reach to control
How far...
How far will we reach for something
We don't even know

We're scared we'll end up to nothing
And we change to fit the mold
We are...
We are the hollowed center and...
How far...
How far will we reach for something
Something we don't even know
We are so afraid of the unknown

We're scared we'll end up to nothing
And we change to fit the mold
We are afraid we stand last with nothing
And we bend to reach control

7. Out Of Reach

So what now my friend
Where do you go from here
When will the dark days end
And all the clouds clear
Is it goodbye my friend
I've see your fall and it's calling
Got we by hidden tears
that just keeps falling

Falling out of reach
You can't prevent it
You can't cause
All wounds won't heal

So times have changed my friend
Took a turn to the worst of worse
Can't turn your head on fate
Cause you can't unwound a curse
Closed eyes won't kill thoughts
Your fears the vivid dark
Got wet by hidden tears that just
Keeps falling

Falling out of reach
You can't prevent it
You can't cause
All wounds won't heal
Falling out of reach
You can't break free from chains
You can't cause all wounds won't heal no

They stretch greater and further
Until there's nothing to conquer
And all you do is watch then unfold

Falling out of reach
You can't prevent it
You can't cause
All wounds won't heal
Falling out of reach
You can't break the chains
You can't cause
All wounds won't heal

8. The Phantom Letters

I leave this note by your side
I did the same thing every night
Through years I've tried
Inside are words for you to find
To let you know
About the things I never dared to show
Or say out loud
And I know it's late
Tears from sorrow now fall in hate
Too late to change
I undress my guilt here by your side
And maybe I can bury it tonight
Along with memories of things I've done to you
That Will never come undone
Can't stop my world from burning down
These flames are all my fault
When the ashes fall from heaven
They fall as my confession

All the words that I leave offer reasons
Holds the keys to the doors that I've locked
And I knew they would never be opened
Cause the ashes fall from heaven
Cause the ashes fall from heaven

I cease my shame here by your side
And maybe it will vanish with the lies
Along with memories of things I've done to you
Things that cannot be undone
Can't help myself from falling off
This thirst is all I've got
When the ashes falls from heaven
It calls to be forgiven

All the words that I leave offer reasons
Holds the keys to the doors that I've locked
And I knew they would never be opened
Cause the ashes fall from heaven
Cause the ashes fall from heaven

And I know it's late
Tears from sorrow now falls in hate
Too late to change

All the words that I leave offer reasons
Holds the keys to the doors that I've locked
And I knew they would never be opened
Cause the ashes fall from heaven
Cause the ashes fall from heaven

9. The Disease

Have I
Worked this soul too hard
Strained these arms to far
Fooled myself to think I was superior
I am inferior
And have I forced myself to think I fight this on my own
I'm all alone

Been loyal to the blind
Had friends that were not mine
I failed to see the disease before it created distance
Seeds sown when we were young
Gave birth to frozen lungs that breathe to exhale the illness

We were seduced by the phantom
Closed our eyes despite the symptoms
The apparition made us bleed like open wounds
It took us from awake to simple fools

Been loyal to the blind
Had friends that were not mine
I failed to see the disease before it created distance
Seeds sown when we were young
Gave birth to frozen lungs that breathe to exhale the illness

We have come to nothing
And we belong to freedom
We are hollow
But we belong to nothing

Been loyal to the blind
Had friends that were not mine
I failed to see the disease before it created distance
Seeds sown when we were young
Gave birth to frozen lungs that breathe to exhale the illness

10. It Comes From Within

When did the walls grow this tall
And the darkness begin to fall
When did I lose the sense of control
How much can I overcome
And I'm lying here
I'm tired I'm worn
It comes from within

It's taking me over
It's making me weak
Brought my doubts to the surface
It's leaving me helpless with no air to breathe
I belong to the shallow
To the ones who praise retreat
I stumble and falter

Who's there to catch me when I stumble
Reduce the pain of my fall
Be my embrace of comfort
And the voice that ease it all
And I'm lying here
So tired so torn
Threat comes from within

It's taking me over
It's making me weak
Brought my doubts to the surface
It's leaving me helpless with no air to breathe
I belong to the shallow
To the ones who praise retreat
I stumble and falter
And it's taking me over

For as long as I remember
I fought this war alone
And the blood on my hands the weight of the cross
Are bricks in a wall
Built from vengeance

It's taking me over
It's making me weak
Brought my doubts to the surface
Tides rise from within
I belong to the shallow
To the ones who praise retreat
I stumble and falter

11. Free

I've read your words
I understand it's said it's done
I walk away in fear of what you said that I've become
Can't change your words now they are stains made to stay
Won't be erased

I've read your words
I understand it's said it's done
I walk away in fear of what you said that I've become
Can't change your words now they are stains made to stay

Free are those who walk away from setting suns
And free are those who laughed at chains that held them bound
Free are those who conquers in vain but won't stop to run
Battered and down they pick up their pieces to rise as one

Free are souls who wander alone in the shade of sun
And free are those who's forgotten by all but still warm inside
Free are they with no intention to fold never bend for the cold
Just to find someone too

I've read your words I understand it's said it's done
I walk away in fear of what you said that we've become
Can't change our words now
Can't make them undone
I'll walk away
I'll walk away
Just walk away

12. I'm Drowning Alone

I paint all black and step in among the shadows
The feelings of emptiness devours me quickly
And I know I never asked
But I need you to help me

Release me from darkness
Release me from all that chains me here
I'm drowning in silence
And I'm drowning alone

I hate to ask but I wouldn't if I didn't need it
Not stronger on my own
I'm weaker just so much weaker
And I know I never asked
But I need you to help me

Release me from darkness
Release me from all that chains me here
I'm drowning in silence
And I'm drowning alone

Release me from darkness
Release me from all that chains me here
My arms getting tired
So relieve me from hurt

See me cause here I am
Hear me cause here I am
Remember me cause here I am
Notice me cause here I am

Release me from darkness
Release me from all that chains me here
I'm drowning in silence
And I can't out-swim the fear

Release me from darkness
Release me from all that chains me here
My arms getting tired
So relieve me from hurt

13. ...And The Distance

We tried, we fought, we lost
We cried, we saw it fall
We lost this game to forgiving needs
Carve the wound until it bleeds

You're keeping your distance, you're pushing me away
You've never let me say the words I want to say
Our time here has withered
Our circumstances changed
You never let me say the words I want to say

You're keeping your distance, you're pushing me away
You never let me say the words I want to say
Our time here has withered
Our circumstances changed
'cause you never let me say the words I want...

Too close to edge and we are down, we are shattered
Still we strive to rise again against the will that push us under
The surface of pride and hope
And through the roof that holds the rope

Too close to an end and we are down, we are shattered
Still we strive to rise again against the doubts that held us under
The surface where light brings hope
And through the dark that kept us closed

Resist the will that push us under
Resist the will that push us under
