The Beginning

I can't make amends
this never-ending pain reflects
clothe my regrets
look for some next life I cannot quite know
I have got to go
I have got to go...
Strip all these mythologies
the echoing inside of me
is reaching out and strangling
the stalker where my safety is
the lie that lives in lack for the truth of where we live
Now that I'm naked who says which
life is inside of me
dark as eulogy
light as naiveté
turning inside of me
opening eyes on a world that is dead to me?
can't I see the sun
for who I was
for when I was
stirred up like dust and mirrors?
clearer lines just smearing time
my death was an eloquence
practiced exuberance
thrusting my fist through the mouth of the evidence
lying with circumstance
strong in my weaknesses
death
I know you well
I will go through hell
I will go through hell
I will go through...

Floodlights

Well I'm off to destroy all the worlds that I wanted to make
with these holes in my pockets I'll drop everything you can take
it's alright, it's alright
I've become everything I did hate
and the life that I wanted is all that I need you to take
Make my soul into a floodlight
time to make this alright
try and find the will to fight
while it's running away from me
Into a floodlight
time to make this alright
try and find the will to fight
it's just running away from me
(This is the time I'm ready for you)
And it's time to take back all the words that I wanted to say
with this fire all around me I'll burn anything you could make
it's alright, it's alright
I've become everything I did hate
and the life that I wanted is all that I need you to take
Make my soul into a floodlight
time to make this alright
try and find the will to fight
while it's running away from me
Into a floodlight
time to make this alright
try and find the will to fight
it's just running away from me
(This is the time I'm ready for you)
Make my soul into a floodlight
time to make this alright
try and find the will to fight
while it's running away from me
(This is the time I'm ready for you)
Into a floodlight
time to make this alright
try and find the will to fight
it's just running away from me

The Sampan Massacre

My soul still looks for me out here
the water makes kaleidoscopes inside my fear
and hidden below my recollections
the armies flank surround my best intentions
Close your eyes...
Subjugate thy soul till kingdom comes
they'll tame the savage beast while you are young
the compromise is easier for some
Screaming fireflies
what does it make me?
just what does this make me?
who cheers our empty eyes?
sacred and insane
this is just insane
we lied when we said we left this jungle alive
When I cross this line
close your eyes
when I cross this line
close your eyes
Close your eyes
My soul still looks for me out here
Reflected in her empty eyes we disappear
Close your Eyes
Close your Eyes

The Morning After

Time keeps pushing me faster
taking me over
leaving its mark on all our lives
I'm so sorry I pushed you
can you forgive me?
I'm doing my best to make it right
Your fractured soul crashing through fragile hymns
I was losing my way
while the world tore itself in two
fighting a war
that did not have time for you
right through the heart
for yourself just to make them all gone
Time keeps pushing me faster
taking me over
leaving its mark on all our lives
so sorry I pushed you
can you forgive me?
I'm doing my best to make it right
Time keeps pushing me faster
taking me over
leaving its mark on all our lives
I'm so sorry I pushed you
can you forgive me?
can you forgive me?
can you forgive me?
can you forgive me?
can you forgive me?...

I fought the world and I know the way
I lost it all and I feel your pain
no one will save us where we embark today
I fought with death and I know His name
guarded my heart and I bled the same
no one will save us where we embark today
I fought the world and I know the way
I fought with death and I know His name
I fought the world and I know the way
I fought with death and I know His name
no one will save us where we embark today

For You

Breath in and Breath out and Breath in just Breath out...
I was looking for your face
remembered
running through the tall grass
running for my life
I was looking for the time
I knew it was a lie
I knew it was a lie
I tried to yell for you
I tried to run for you
I tried to yell for you
I tried to run
for you
I was looking for your face
I remember
in the tall grass
running for my life
I dove into the lie
I tried to yell for you
I tried to run to you
I tried to yell for you
I tried to run
for you
Breathe in
Breath out
Breath in
Breath out
I was looking for your face
I'm still running through the tall grass
calling after you
I'm still calling after
I was looking for your face
I'm still running through the tall grass
calling after you
I'm still calling after
I was looking for your face
I'm still running through the tall grass
calling after you
I'm still calling after you

No one told me what I would lose if I travelled
further
met you past the edge of the world
No one told me what I would lose if I travelled
further
met you past the edge of the world
No one told me what I would lose if I travelled
further
met you past the edge of the world
No one told me what I would lose if I travelled
further
met you past the edge of the world
We're fighting for our souls past the edge of the world
We're fighting for our souls past the edge of the world
Past the Edge of the World
Past the Edge of the World
Past the Edge of the World
Past the Edge of the World
Past the Edge of the World

The Bridge

My soul is chasing the brink
my body weighted to sink
resolve made second to none
disfigured is the mark that we've become
My heart is starting to race
my head caught up in the chase
two eyes aimed straight for The One
like diamonds in the barrel of a gun
Make our escape from society
Kept under wraps
Waited patiently
Now that I know where this all will lead
I'll burn down my chance it's just me
It's just me...
Impossible made into rhyme
fleet-footed stepping on mines
transmission, cut lines
we're guessing most of the time
and my soul is chasing the brink
my body weighted to sink
two eyes aimed straight for The One
Weight on my soul
it takes its toll
bridges left burning
our bridges are burning
they'll tear down the whole world tonight
All our revelations
beneath expectations
I just need to rest awhile
Won't understand
there is no plan
let’s burn down the whole world tonight
Nothing it seems can glue back together all the pieces I need
the one thing I know
that life made me crazy sir I'm broken and I'm ready to go
Elevate your point of view
what captured me flew over you
with all that's missing
life denied
with brimming hearts and glowing eyes
and you can't kill me
I won't die
I build this all to feel alive
our bridges burning
light the skies
reflected off the other side
Make our escape from society
Kept under wraps
Waited patiently
Now that I know where this all will lead
I'll burn down my chance it's just me
It's just me...
life showed me more then I was willing to know
and love made me crazy sir I'm broken and I'm ready to go
You can't kill me
I won't die
I built this all to feel alive
bridges burning
light the skies
reflecting off the other side
You can't kill me
I won't die
I built this all to feel alive
bridges burning
light the skies
between the gulf in you and I
You can't kill me
I won't die
destroy it all I'm still alive
bridges burning
light the skies
leave me on the other side...

All march in line
all in time
all in time
thieves in the night
make it right
make it right
All march in line
all in time
all in time
thieves in the night
make it right
make it right
(I was waiting no one said what I could do I'm verses you)
The only thing left to do
The Only Way Out is Through
the freedom enslaving you
The Only Way Out is Through
the life that's been killing you
The Only Way Out is Through
The Only Way Out is Through
The Only Way Out is Through
Dividing up my difference
releasing all my consequences
climbing The Impossible
The only thing left to do
The Only Way Out is Through
the freedom enslaving you
The Only Way Out is Through
the life that's been killing you
The Only Way Out is Through
The Only Way Out is Through
The Only Way Out is Through
