Crushing The Dread
Self-imprisoned come and listen life wearing us down/ Tears in ears count back the years/ The silence takes us now/ You know that I’ve been waiting too long to let you into all my new songs ‘cause it’s nothing like I’ve known before/ The night gets awful lonely / The voices are all gone/ Crushing the dread/ Pushing ahead/ Taken so strong/ Dragged us along/ Covers us wide/ Say we’ll be fine/ Fears in our minds/ Standing in line/ Knew before I’d take much more my soul reflecting strong/ Feeling silenced through the violence/ Grieving what went wrong/ You know that I’ve been waiting too long/ To let you into my heart so strong / ‘Cause it’s nothing like I’ve known before/ All gone/ It’s hard to tell if we are well the turmoil breaks us down/ The night gets awful lonely/ The voices are all gone/
It’s hard to tell if we are well the turmoil breaks us down/ In sadness yelling hopeless dwelling future looks grim now

Cut Right Through
The words forced their escape from what’s inside/ I could no longer hide/ Always kept safely in my desk/ Your pain revealed the rest/ Thrown away I took the best/ I just knew it was true/ The darkness greets me/ Love went drifting my love was gone/ My love was sleeping when all went wrong/ Love was wishing our love was strong/ Love was sleeping when all went wrong/ I was torn in five directions/ And you showed me I belong/ We cut right through/ Now it’s time to show you too/ We’ve been forced without direction/ Now we can fly/ Towards that treehouse in the sky/ I’ve found every reason why/ It’s right in sight your light at night/ You showed me quickly just what’s out of reach/ That glitter spray repeats/ All those missing parts belonged/ Just assembled all too wrong/ Found your branches to climb on/ I just knew it was true/ The darkness greets me/ Cut right through/ I want to show you too/ Torn in five directions/ Now we can fly/ To the treehouse in the sky/ I know every reason why/ I know what’s true/ And I want to show you too/ We’ve been drifting through the darkness/ Now we can fly / Towards that treehouse in the sky/ I’ve found every reason why/ It’s right in sight your light at night

Fears Float Away
Saw you from across the hall/ Touched me, are we still here?/ Said hold this for me ‘till I fall / And suddenly you know I wait in fear/ The pages torn words scrolled across/ You took my monsters knew my loss/ Take me over/ Take me over / Don’t say it’s over/ I flipped your switch remaining calm/ It’s beauty never made a sound/ That buried cracking open door/ Just welcomed me onto the floor/ Those inner demons flew right in/ And saved me through the years within/ What if I’m not strong enough?/ Don’t say it’s over/ It all comes clear as we’re moving near this won’t go away/ Fears Float Away/ Take me over/ Take me over/ It’s not over

Chasing Butterflies
Just like we never did/ Butterflies/ I’ve got the feeling that we’re were just leading ourselves back and more confused/ There is no substitute for the gathered skills we’ll likely never use/ What have we begun?/ What’s left if it’s no fun?/ I always felt outside/ So different to love than to like you/ Chasing Butterflies/ So different to know than to want you/ We had to leave it but it’s like we never did/ Had to believe it but it’s like we never did/ I thought we’d never find out if we weren’t the ones that knew it all before/ That glow confessed the boredom waiting behind this darkness telling more/ Could’ve seen you were my muse/ Could’ve been much less confused/ Could’ve lied here in the dark to find what would happen as our hearts grow true/ We’re the ones with all the noise to just tell you of all our toys already knew/ The ignorance ignored the steps we took off-shore/ ‘Cause we always felt outside chasing butterflies/ Wings before our eyes/ Truth before our eyes

I Should Have Known Better!
I don’t want to/ I can trace those thoughts restrained inside your head/ Broke the leak it burst exhausted anxious dread/ And I know what you did/ Now I’m so fed up/ Struck by how we’ve lived/ It’s time to get back up/ We’ve been falling scraping crawling/ You’ve let me down/ I just don’t know what to say/ My heart has gone away/ All that time I should have known better/ I stormed through this rocky avalanche/ Took it rough still fighting for my stance/ I know what we did/ I am so fed up/ Struck by how we’ve lived/ I may still have anger in my eyes and I just can’t do it anymore/ Sometimes I want to be alone I’m not sure/ Don’t want to be to say the truth/ We are falling straining crawling/ We are bawling grating stalling/ You’ve let me down I just don’t know what to say/ You’ve let me down/ You’ve let us down now/ We’ve let our hearts down/ We’re broken parts now and I don’t want too/ You took it too far/ No turning back now

Dead Trees
Why does the rain keep falling down on me/ I’m taking shelter under this big tree/ Why does the pain keep striking down on me/ I’m standing here unshielded can’t you see/ It’s the branches/ So empty/ No fruit for me/ You have no leaves/ Why can’t you see the forest through the trees/ That’s not the way this life is supposed to be/ Why don’t you hear this storm will have its say/ I’m watching all our branches break away/ You’re empty/ No good for me / Why can’t we see that you’re no good for me/ Storm has it’s way no shelter here you see/ Outside we hear destruction’s pouring near/ What’s left to blame this pain reflects our fear

Moonshot
We took the moon shot/ It all comes back to you / And saw my passion throughThis path is hot/ This plan is not the way I expected to/ The only way forward’s through/ We killed the first thought/ It all turns back on you/ the second only grew/ This hope is lost/ We’ll take the cost/ The only way forward’s through/ Inside you’ll always be burned inside of me/ What is happening now/ I can’t take what you said breached the darkness inside/ Burst out emptying my dread spinning all too fast/ Draining from my head/ Why do I keep falling for the game taking all the blame living just the same/ This left behind you’ll always be/Another trauma still burned inside of me/ Kill the monster inside you’ll always be the burst of trauma still trapped inside of me/ I feel the torture pushing through/ Left inept I can’t take I believed in you/ Who let these wheels spin off so fast racing from the past thinking this would last/ When Did you notice all my cries disaster of surprise opened all our eyes/ Where did this structure fall apart taking all our hearts breaking from the start/ Inside/ I can’t escape the nighttimeYou took it too far/ No turning back now

It’s Time
The Sun goes down/ I’m alive/ I used to feel more free/ Now too upset to see/ What is
happening now/ Who are you right now/ I saw the light of day/ There’s nothing left to say/ So much unreturned we’ve learned/ The screen’s torn open/ Speaking without words/ I don’t know what you’ve heard for a long time/ The rhythmic story does/ Come alive/ So much conflict left/ All that pain regrets/ I can’t express/ This silent coping/ The robot voices squeal/ Harmonic plastic wheels/ What’s to expect/ Regret/ When our sun is gone/ Find another one/ I’m alive/ Plants turning to the sun/ Our plastic world’s begun/ The seal is broken

Massive Explosions Only
The memories shuffle through the deck / I’m sorting through my past regrets/ All those feelings trapped inside/ Backstage the lights are low/ There never was a show/ On stage my life runs low/ Have we become the show?/ Won’t let these emotions trickle out slowly/ It’s massive explosions only/I know this feeling but it’s been a long time/ This is the wrong time/ The memories too hard to forget/ They’re pushing through more than I let/ All those feelings trapped inside

Bye Now
Jumped the cracks in the sidewalk we’d leaned on/ Had to dig my own line through the sand/ As I can/ All the castles fell down in my hands/ All the tears ran clear from our plans/ And I thought that by now we’d do better/ I thought that by now I’d be holding
your hand/ You might understand/ Bye Now Bye Now Goodbye Now/ Every day we just strive for what’s better/ Every day we just wait for the sun to return/ We’ve felt so burned/ So Burned/ Bye Now / We learned we learned/ Bye Now Return/ Can’t go back/ We jumped that track under attack we can’t go back/ Head forward now/ Bye Now/ I can’t return/ There’s too much learned/ We’ve been so burned/ I’m still waiting for what was missing then/ Of everything that ends/ I need you to understand/ I thought we’d do better by now we can’t return/ Every day we strive for what’s better every day we wait for the
sun to return
