Into the Pale Sunrise
04:11
|

|
Three months of melting snow
Memories under gray clouds
An ache I can’t shake off
Sinking on the inside
Uncomfortable, uneasy
Counting up my faults
Follow me out the door
For a drive into the dawn
To occupy my mind
Alone and aggressive
Pent up within pride
Trapped on my own
Winding across the winter road
(Slipping on ice and speeding on)
Can’t stop once my mind says go
(Passing signs and skipping towns)
The rage and regret
Let them out and throw it all
To the pale sunrise
The highway twists and turns
The axles creak, the tires wear
Pull over, stand outside
Abandoned convenience store
Rotting wood and faded logo
A lost landmark I’ll claim as mine
Remember this moment forever
Take it to carry and keep
The darkness, the pain, the anger
Bury them in shadows and sleep
Winding across the winter road
(Slipping on ice and speeding on)
Can’t stop once my mind says go
(Passing signs and skipping towns)
The rage and regret
Let it out and throw it all
To the pale sunrise

A Dark Place
03:28
|
|||
|
I made myself a little place to hide
Small spot hidden out of sight
Be a ghost in my own life
In this shelter born from grief
No light, just noise
There’s way too much you'd never want to see
Damp to dry
Bury yourself alive
Keep in control
A room to cure the soul
Step by step by step
Step slowly away
If you can wait
I beg you to stay
I’m sorry I'm so gone
I'll return I swear
All I need is a little bit of time
To diagnose what’s behind my eyes
How must I justify that to you
The only wish I have
To hear that I am heard
That it’s the way I make it out to be for me
Find me here
Silent, sad self-care
Tell me to move on
Like everyone else
Step by step by step
Step out of the dark
If you can wait
I beg you to stay
I’m sorry I'm so gone
I'll return I swear

What Shall We Write?
05:48
|
|||
|
It’s been a long way
I haven’t slept in days
But I'm here at your door
Weeks that seemed like years
Too many untold tears
No need for them anymore
With you again
Like time never passed
Never lose this
Never lose this
One journey ends
Another starts anew
Clean slate, clear sight
One chapter’s done
Let’s fill these pages now
What shall we write
New place, new path
Wondering where to next
At your side, at your side
(At your side)
All set, ready and eager
To create this adventure
About a world so wide
With you right here
I don’t want to go
Never lose this
Never lose this
One journey ends
Another starts anew
Clean slate, clear sight
One chapter’s done
Let’s fill these pages now
What shall we write
Moving, moving, moving where to
Moving, moving, moving with you

Near Death Experience
03:46
|

Heavenly tragedy
Unfamiliar hands
Out-of-body bleeding
Floating up to where I stand
Almost touched the stars
Not a scar in sight
Reaching with reluctance
To an open mouth so bright
Closer to the light I slip away
From a world calling me to stay
Pulled and pushing back, it's getting late
Separated, stalling, on my way
I would have thought that I was coming home
Back to the start, to a life I'd own
Nothing's changed yet everything
Makes even less sense
Like I live in a lucid dream
Such a time and place to be alive
Every day to be framed by one night
Closer to the light I slip away
From a world calling me to stay
Pulled and pushing back, it's getting late
Separated, stalling, on my way
I would have thought that I was coming home
Back to the start, to a life I'd own
Nothing's changed yet everything
Makes even less sense
Like I live in a lucid dream
Near death, far removed from life
Near death, far removed from life
Near death, far removed from life
Near death, far removed from life
I would have thought that I was coming home
Back to the start, to a life I'd own
Everything makes even less sense
Like I live in a lucid dream

Reinvent
02:44
|

|
New day, nothing much has changed
Since the only light went out
It’s an opportunity
To simply stop looking
Forget anything that’s lost
Be a friend to yourself
Reinvent (gotta give up all that’s gone)
Reinvent (gonna feel the sun again)
Reinvent
New night, moon shines through the cage
Spotlight of inspiration
The key is on the floor
The choice to pick it up
Isn’t always easy
But it’s always yours
Reinvent (gotta give up all that’s gone)
Reinvent (gonna feel the sun again)
Reinvent
Gonna give up all that's gone
Gonna feel the sun again
The key is on the floor
Be a friend to yourself

The Angel Hit the Ground
02:49

The angel hit the ground
Face first and didn’t make a sound
Invisible to the naked eye
No one heard her falling from the sky
Stomping on her wings (stomping on her wings)
Everybody was doing their own thing
She got up and got over
Being something she thought she had to be
Now she’s free
Free from flight
Now the lights have been turned off
She can rest
The devil came to town
And brought a briefcase filled with bombs
Detonating everything in sight
The terror coloring the night
Everybody screamed (everybody screamed)
Everybody wept, their tears a sea
Their eyes closed, their minds opened
Looking to the ground for relief
But she’s gone
Out of sight
She cannot remember
A past that had died
Hurting world
Far away
Now that she has found a home
Of only peaceful days

The malachite
Shines in my eyes
Makes me the luckiest
In my reflection
The timeline
Of my whole life
You were here
A rock in a stream
You make me the luckiest
The safest, the strongest
The most myself
You’re a soul sitting with my own

Alright then
As the river floats away
I can feel the heat coming
It burns the tears away
At the thought of what I’m missing
With a wind of change
And a stream of craze
Not a coast in sight to see
Could be a plain or a town
Or a city
Or a forest
Or a cave
Or maybe even home
As the river floats away
I feel the rain coming
It washes out my face
And lets me see clearly
That there’s a snow to stay
Until it melts away
Not a coast in sight to see
Could be a plain or a town
Or a city
Or a forest
Or a cave
Or maybe even home

I appreciate the friend you are
You’ve been many things to me
A companion, a collaborator
You’re my family
I listen to your stories
And I tell you mine
I have seen your journey
And I see you try
And you succeed
Time and time again
Because you live with passion
You’re a man of character
You survive it all
You go down those paths
They will join with your voice
In the days and years ahead

Leave That Path Behind
03:20
|
|||
|
So I’m kind of scared of change
Even that which I see coming
Even when life’s not kind to me
Everything I’ve ever known
Sits right here unmoving
I want to pick it up to bring along
But it doesn’t want to go
And so I leave that path behind
Under rocks and leaves and distance
And so I follow all the signs
Toward an unknown destination
I’m not sure where
Or how much better it will be
But what I know now
Feels just right
So I’m very scared of change
Even when I see just what to do
Even when I take that first step
I’m still looking back for you
But now I leave that path behind
Under rocks and leaves and distance
And so I follow all the signs
Towards an unknown destination
I’m not sure where
Or how much better it will be
But what I know now
Feels just right

The End
04:00

Shedding off a graceful skin
Seeping down to where you stand
Promising to lead you from
Days of waiting for
Recovery, they're done
Offer me a room to rest
I'll return you to your health
You may speak and give release
Though you won't, you'll let me be
Our souls, the same
Strange prices
For your head
Marked around the town
In bright blood red
Take each sacred step I give
Follow through, you'll have no debt
Rinse the sleeper, drown it full
I can close your eyes for you
And bless your dream
Full facade, I take it out
Looking for the tender spot
Feel no hurt in heaven's breadth
Rejoicing with nothing there
To come again
Strange prices
For your head
Marked around the town
In bright blood red
Does your heart believe
In that good, pure light
Or do you remain
Hardened, stiff, and dry
Take each sacred step I give
Follow through, you'll have no debt
Rinse the sleeper, drown it full
I can close your eyes
Strange prices
For your head
Marked around the town
In bright blood red
Were you aware
How I needed you
From your withered form
To make anew
Does your heart believe
In that good, pure light
Or do you remain
Hardened, stiff, and dry
