Limp away
04:55

In lights and shadows, swallowed up by the world
The vision of a sinking sail, who’s on board, who’s swimming to shore
A part of you is gone, floating pieces left to save
I need you now, just a little bit of love will do
When I was younger I was caught going different ways
I need your love, just a little more than before
When I was running I was sure, now I limp away
Drowning heart, gripped by the morning star
Store the secrets in your scars, recover who you really are
You know me, you know everything my spirit needs
You’re my freedom, you’re my freedom
I need you now, just a little bit of love will do
When I was younger I was caught going different ways
I need your love, just a little more than before
When I was running I was sure, now I limp away
Stare into the fire that burns for you
the teacher he calls for you to now learn, learn who you are
who you are

Secret Weapons
04:01
|

As hopeless as you are
Look how far you come my boy you star
Look at what you staged so coy
You never imagined but I dared
You couldn’t stay there to the end
Knowing who you are is all the power I need
You weren’t ready for my weapon of choice
My secret weapon is how I clear from all the noise
You weren’t ready for my weapon in this game
Knowing who you are is all the power I need
As hopeful as you are
Look at what you made my little star
Look at what you done my boy
You never imagined but I dared
You couldn’t stay there until the end
Knowing who you are is all the power I need
You weren’t ready for my weapon of choice
My secret weapon is how I clear from all the noise
You weren’t ready for my weapon in this game
Knowing who you are is all the power I need
In my weapons eye, you realize
You weren’t ready for my weapon of choice
My secret weapon is how I clear from all the noise
You weren’t ready for my weapon in this game
Knowing who you are is all the power I need

Horizontal life
04:12
|

Do you think that you require more, desire more than you need
Do you think that you can find more, it hides more than you can see
When hope turns to despair
Hoping you were there, hoping you can see that its just not out there
No Moping in denial, when all that you waited for is bottled up inside
This horizontal life we live will keep us walking side by side
This horizontal life it means that we are equaled up in size
This vertical life will just swallow me
This vertical life can no longer be
Do you hear that voice that tyers you, it denies you of what could be
Do you fear that road that inspires you, it requires you not to concede
When hope turns from despair
Knowing you were there, knowing you can see that its just not out there
No moping through denial, when all that you waited for is bubbling up inside
This horizontal life we live will keep us walking side by side
This horizontal life it means that we are equaled up in size
This vertical life wont silence me
This vertical life can no longer be
Now that you made it somewhere it all feels so much better
When you compare that somewhere, the fall is vertical
Do you think that you require more, desire more than you need

Against the wind
05:22
|

It seems like yesterday, so long ago
Janie was so lovely, the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low and
the secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
caught like a wildfire out of control with nothing left to burn, nothing left to lose.
I remember when she said to me
How she swore it would never end
I remember when she used to hold me, oh so tight, I wish I knew now what I didn’t know then
Against the wind, we’re running against the wind
We were young and strong we were running against the wind
Years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone, surrounded by strangers who I thought were my friends
And I found myself further from my home and
I guess I lost my way, oh so many roads, living to run and learning to live
Not worried about how much I owe
Running eight miles a minute a month at a time
Breaking all the rules that I could bend
And I found myself searching, searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind, a little something against the wind
And I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
These drifting days have past me by
I got so much more to think about
Negotiations, commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind, still running against the wind
We are older now yet still running against the wind
We are older now but still running against the wind

The Watchers Train
03:00
|

On the watchers train, sitting across from you
Wonder what’s your name, keeping an eye on you
In a world of grey, you fill it with pinks and blues
Wonder what’s your game, maybe I play it with you
On the watchers train every day it seems the same
When you’re living someone else’s dream
waiting for your next stop to exit the watchers train
On the watchers train, another day with you
Do you share my pain, when the night catches you
You’re calling out my name when all of you know my time is due
I’m stuck in, all in the game when all I wish I could cash out too
On the watchers train every day it seems the same
When you’re living someone else’s dream
waiting for your next stop to exit the watchers train

Don’t wait for my answer, for my answer, don’t wait
Don’t pry for my answer, for my answer, don’t pry before it arrives
Don’t run, don’t hide
Don’t run, don’t hide
You feel it in your toes and fear it in your bones
There is nothing I can say or do coz you already know
It fixes in your brain, driving you insane
There is nothing I can change or move, the answer is still the same
It lingers in the air, with no answer to your love there
Don’t wait for my heart to get started, its been a road full of pain
Its been a year discarded, but I love you all the same
I want to hold you closer, but its not what I deserve
All you want is my answer, but you can’t pry it from me now
Don’t run, don’t hide
Don’t run, don’t hide
You feel it in your toes and fear it in your bones
There is nothing I can say or do coz you already know
It fixes in your brain, driving you insane
There is nothing I can change or move, the answer is still the same
It lingers in the air, with no answer to your love there
Don’t run from my answer, before it arrives, don’t run
Don’t hide from my answer, before it arrives, don’t hide
Don’t cry from my answer, before it arrives, don’t cry
Don’t run from my answer, before it arrives, don’t run before it arrives.

Be That Voice
03:18
|

A shotgun blast to clear the class, you’ve got to do the math to walk this path
Another blood bath to wash your ass, its all political you know
The clock strikes one they move you on from the interactions they starve you from
all the information is missing some, its all political you know, political you now
You’ve got to be that someone, you’ve got to be that voice around here
You’ve got to be that someone, or they will be that voice for you
They section you off from the group now lost
As the leader scoffs from the discussion tossed, the leftist knocks to warn you off its all political you know
They police your thoughts, get wires crossed, while each of us are shocked our resistance soft, the goal is not to better you off, its all political you know
Be that someone, you’ve got to be that voice around here
You’ve got to be that someone, or they will be that voice for you

Silent War
04:44
|

Don’t sit in silence when all around there’s violence
There is So much to be said and done, don’t fire the peace gun
Don’t think that kindness wont overwhelm the mindless, free those that should be spared, what’s deemed fair.
And know what’s in your hands when playing fools for gold
Let me go to war with my most inner thoughts
inside my head to find my strength and make some sense
of this silent, this silent war
Don’t wait in sadness when all around there’s madness
We need you to be strong to fight as one
Don’t let them find us nor move on in behind us
and find us in their wait.
And know what’s in your hands when playing ghouls for souls
Let me go to war with my most inner thoughts
inside my head to find my strength and make some sense
of this silence, this silent war
I find no peace, I see no end, could this be our evermore
Seek your truth and find yourself and know there’s a silent war
Let me go to war with my most inner thoughts
inside my head to find my strength and make some sense
of this silence, this silent war

Hearts of Gold
05:33

Your futile past will follow
And weigh you down like a stone
In the wrecking yard you’ll find your heart broken apart
Your empty glass of sorrow
Will eat your time you just borrowed
In the deck of cards you’ll play the king of hearts
And throw it to the pile
In the eve of your punishment
Your wounds are all that you bare
In the still of your accomplishments
The fear is all that you share
Yeah we are man left with our only friend
We had hearts of gold
Yeah we are man and now home again
Yet no one knows
Your futile past has found you
It will leach you fast and destroy you
Your beating heart will finally stop, holding the gun
In the eve of your banishment
Your wounds are all that you bare
In the still of your accomplishments
The fear is all that you share
Yeah we are man left with our only friend
We had hearts of gold
Yeah we are man and now home again
Yet no one knows

Get It Right

We show our hearts, we show our might right here
We show our hearts, we show our might right here
We show our hearts, we show our might right here
We show our hearts, we show our fight right now
Get it right, get it right, get it right now, get it right
Get it right now
We throw ourselves around
While you beat us to the ground
If you could see our faces
Just a number
43 blah blah blah
A once vision now full of changes
Now you hold us to the ground
We show our hearts, we show our might despite fear
We show our hearts, we show our fight despite fear
Get it right, get it right, get it right now, get it right
Get it right now
We throw ourselves around
While you beat us to the ground
