Requiem
03:34
|
|||
|
I'm helpless to save
The love I once knew was mine
As it withers on a vine
Like a flower left at a grave
So I scatter the ashes of us
In a place dark and dangerous
Where I sing my song quietly
With whispering words of gloom
As a part of my soul dies inside of me
While I silently mourn for you
With this requiem
There’s so much I’ve missed
Since our love’s been destroyed
As I try to fill this void
That I must now learn to live with
So I scatter the ashes of us
In a place dark and dangerous
Where I sing my song quietly
With whispering words of gloom
As a part of my soul dies inside of me
While I silently mourn for you
With this requiem
I thought I was in control
As I searched the catacombs
For the memories I kept hidden deep
But I didn’t expect
That I’d resurrect
Such pain buried inside of me
So I scatter the ashes of us
In a place dark and dangerous
Where I sing my song quietly
With whispering words of gloom
As a part of my soul dies inside of me
While I silently mourn for you
For you
With this requiem

Butterfly Effect
03:58
|
|||
|
I open my eyes to a new day
To find that nothing is the way that it should be
Cuz my world has been knocked sideways
Hit by a force that I never saw coming
I’ve tried in vain to find what went wrong
Thinkin’ it’ll get me back to the place where I belong
When I see my reflection
I see a face that I don’t like or recognize
And I fear there's no chance for redemption
No way to fix the damage I caused to our lives
I’ve tried in vain to find what went wrong
Thinkin’ it’ll get me back to where I belong
Cuz there’s a moment I regret
That caused a butterfly effect
And sent shockwaves through my life
I’ve tried in vain to find what went wrong
Thinkin’ it’ll get me back to where I belong
Cuz there’s a moment I regret
That caused a butterfly effect
And sent shockwaves through my life

Unicorn
03:39
|
|||
|
I’ve spent so much time searching through the wastelands
Looking for something I’m not quite sure exists
Still I hope to find and hold within my hands
A unicorn in this wilderness
I’m broken down and distraught
Cuz I’m craving what haven’t got
And I know in my soul
That I should let it go
Still the heart wants what it wants
Yet it leaves a bitter taste
And it’s something that I can’t erase
Cuz the hard truth is
That there’s no quick fix
And all my efforts feel like a waste
It’s just a myth that I’m chasing down I’m sure
A children’s fairytale or some ancient folklore
I’ll be yearning for
Evermore
I’ve spent so much time searching through the wastelands
Looking for something I’m not quite sure exists
Still I hope to find and hold within my hands
A unicorn in this wilderness
Life can be so unfair
Cuz it’s brutal and it doesn’t care
But I’ll figure it out
Some way somehow
And won’t panic or despair
Still I’m trying to get it right
Cuz I’ve missed the mark every time
But if I get knocked down
I’ll get up off the ground
And I won’t give up without a fight
It’s just a myth that I’m chasing down I’m sure
A children’s fairytale or some ancient folklore
I’ll be yearning for
Evermore

Morning Star
03:29
|
|||
|
I wake up to find the morning star shinning bright in my room
And I can’t help but reminisce how you once looked in its golden hue
So many years later I still recall the way you smell and taste
And I lose myself at the start of a brand new day
If I could do it all again
I’d make sure that I’d get it right
But the world has taught me
There are no guarantees in life
After so many setbacks I made it through it just took a little time
But now I’m haunted by the fact that I was late at crossing the finish line
Still I wanna show you I found the strength buried inside of me
To finally become the man you wanted me to be
If I could do it all again
I’d make sure that I’d get it right
But the world has taught me
There are no guarantees in life
It’s a bitter pill that I take
It is what it is and that’s my fate
Still it doesn’t make it easy at all
I only have myself to blame
I did what I did I pushed you away
And I know that it’s my own fault
If I could do it all again
I’d make sure that I’d get it right
But the world has taught me
There are no guarantees in life
I know I sound just like a fool but you know how I can get
Cuz I can’t help but to look back and wonder what could’ve been
So much time has passed and so much has changed it doesn’t matter anyway
Still I think of you at the start of each brand new day

Invisible
02:23
|
|||
|
There’s no use in crying
That’s easy to see
If there’s a silver lining
It’s invisible to me
I had so much passion in my youth
But couldn’t do the things that I wanted to do
Opportunities back then don’t exist anymore
Like they did when I was 24
There’s no use in crying
That’s easy to see
If there’s a silver lining
It’s invisible to me
I’ve beat myself up over each failed romance
Losing out each time like I ever had a chance
But holding someone special in my hands
Is something I don’t feel can have
There’s no use in crying
That’s easy to see
If there’s a silver lining
It’s invisible to me
I wasted my time learning things that were unimportant
Without tasting the wine or ambrosia on my lips
But the knowledge of just how to do some things right
Came to me so late in life
There’s no use in crying
That’s easy to see
If there’s a silver lining
It’s invisible to me

Brutal
03:38
|
|||
|
You claim you’re such a victim that’s the picture you try to paint
And your excuses can’t be criticized cuz you say they’re sacrosanct
If you leave your ivory tower you’ll be sure to find
The world to be a savage place that’s ruthless and unkind
You make-believe cuz the real world makes you feel weak and small
You’re so naïve thinking you can just ignore it all
The truth is so painful
Because life is so brutal
Resistance is futile
Because life can be so brutal
You bitch, moan and complain about how life’s unfair
Feeling that you’re owed an edge or supposed equal share
You’re such a hypocrite it’s in everything that you do
Cuz you’re fine with inequality whenever it benefits you
You’re ten feet tall and so self-righteous in your own eyes that’s right
How hard will you fall when life cuts you down to size?
The truth is so painful
Because life is so brutal
Resistance is futile
Because life can be so brutal

Only a Fool
03:13
|
|||
|
Oh you anointed
How you’re so disappointed
With the world now
Still you go on and on
Though you’re often wrong
You’re never in doubt
Anyway, anyhow
It’s hard to believe
How you say such foolishness
Things that go against all common sense
Still you double down
And all critiques get dismissed
As you champion your twisted form of justice
You have no hard proof
So you make your own truth
To try to win the fight
You throw insults and shame
While calling me names
Cuz you have the need to be right
It’s hard to believe
How you say such foolishness
Things that go against all common sense
Still you double down
And criticisms get dismissed
As you champion your twisted form of justice
You try to use words to create reality
Clinging to them so desperately
While ignoring all the facts
And only a fool would do that
You try to use words to create reality
Clinging to them so desperately
While ignoring all the facts
And only a fool would do that

Fragments
03:19
|
|||
|
Shattered like a broken glass
All things that come must pass
I only have the little bits that remain
All my walls have fallen down
Our love’s behind us now
And the only thing left to do is to pick up the pieces and start again
Time is always passing by
I think back to when you were mine
A little angel wanting to be adored
So sweet and innocent
All those times came and went
Too bad things can’t be that way anymore
But here and now
What’s through is through
I hold on cuz it’s all I can do
With these fragments of you
As the years slip away
My memory starts to fade
Still I find mementos of you around
But these things don’t measure up
And nothing will ever be enough
It’s just a little too late for us now
Shattered like a broken glass
All things that come must pass
And now it’s time to just let them be
‘Cuz nothing that I’ll ever do
Can ever bring me back to you
But a part of you will always be a part of me
Cuz here and now
What’s through is through
I hold on cuz it’s all I can do
With these fragments of you
These fragments of you

Country Girl
03:47
|
|||
|
Desert skies hang over me
This chilling cold air that I breathe
Makes me wonder what I’m doing here
I never thought life would be like this
Wandering through this wilderness
On a path that’s become so unclear
I felt jaded at the time
So frustrated and confined
When out of nowhere I stumbled on you
A country girl at heart inside
With a freckled face and dark brown eyes
From a place that I was foreign to
Visions of you have been on my mind
Wanting you right here by my side
In this place of red rock and turquoise
It seems the further I explore
My desire grows more and more
Even though I have yet to hear your voice
My hopes and fears blur together
Overwhelming me as I pass through
But I’m sincere that no barrier
Will keep me from you
Keep me from you, yeah
This seems crazy I admit
But the more I think about it
The more I’m sure about it
The moment is now
The moment is now
I gotta change my direction
Make a course correction
Cuz clarity’s finally set in
I gotta turn around
Turn around
So I go and stand outside
At the place where you reside
As a way to be close to you
I capture the moment as a surprise
Next to something you’d recognize
Hoping you feel the same way that I do
As I leave I head out west
While the golden sun slowly sets
Wishing I could take you away with me
I think of the life that we could share
Living freely without a care
And I promise you someday it will be
A reality

Undertow
03:19
|
|||
|
There must be a million reasons to sink into the void
But still I struggle to get air
A heavy feeling leaves me cold and paranoid
That I’m deep in the depths of despair
A torrent of memories flood into my mind
And is just impossible to dismiss
I think I’m through it all until I come to find
There’s no escape from this dark abyss
This vast ocean has no end
And I can’t break free from its hold
As I’m pulled within
Pulled within the undertow
I’ve been trying hard to get myself reset
Cuz I know I’ve been going the wrong way
But the harder I fight against it the worse it seems to get
As I’m taken further away
This vast ocean has no end
And I can’t break free from its hold
As I’m pulled within
Pulled within the undertow
Maybe I should try again
Try to regain some control
Still I’m pulled within
Pulled within the undertow
This vast ocean has no end
And I can’t break free from its hold
As I’m pulled within
Pulled within the undertow

It's Not Too Late
03:20
|
|||
|
We have a state of emergency
Still you show no sense of urgency
And I’m not sure how to get through to you
I’ve seen you’ve waste so many days
Content on throwing your life away
And I don’t know what else there is to do
You’ll ignore all the warning signs
Thinking somehow everything’s gonna be fine
Until the moment you realize you’re out of time
It’s not too late to turn it around
It’s not too late you can do now
Somehow
Your passion’s given way to apathy
Your heart’s succumbed to atrophy
Your eternal fire has become an extinguished flame
You fear you don’t have it anymore
That things won’t be like they were before
And what’s the point if things can’t be the same?
You’ll ignore all the warning signs
Thinking somehow everything’s gonna be fine
Until the moment you realize you’re out of time
It’s not too late to turn it around
It’s not too late you can do now
Somehow
You’ll ignore all the warning signs
Thinking somehow everything’s gonna be fine
Until the moment you realize you’re out of time
It’s not too late to turn it around
It’s not too late you can do now
Somehow

The Exiled
02:46
|
|||
|
My heart is incomplete
Cuz I can’t get what I need
And nothing that I try seems to work
I’m not sure what to do
Since I can’t get through to you
Cuz I’ve been banished to the outskirts
What in the world have I done?
It seems that I have become…
One of the exiled
I guess it was my fate
To wander in this way
Though it’s hard to believe this happened to me
I feel lost without hope
As I walk alone
Stuck in a place I never thought I’d be
What in the world have I done?
It seems that I have become…
One of the exiled

Citrus Road
03:42
|
|||
|
It’s all quiet and the air is still
As I sit in the valley of the sun
My heart beats faster as I pass by the fields
Cuz I’m full of anticipation
You’ve been a captive here living in chains
A prisoner in this quagmire
The walls of your fortress hide a desolate place
Where the sun rises over barbed wire
I head into the great unknown
Uncertain as to what’ll unfold
Still I follow my heart and soul
Down Citrus road
You’ve shared with me tales of your trauma and strife
And I relate to your storyline
But there’s no denying that you’ve had a rough life
That’s somehow been worse than mine
I head into the great unknown
Uncertain as to what’ll unfold
Still I follow my heart and soul
Down Citrus road
Should I stop this approach
Before I get near?
Will you be like a ghost
And up and disappear?
I head into the great unknown
Uncertain as to what’ll unfold
Still I follow my heart and soul
Down Citrus road

White Horse
03:31
|
|||
|
Further out across the divide
Is a place that we have to go
There’s danger in this but we must take a risk
And venture through the unknown
We’ve been hunted down to a precious few
A handful is all that remains
Those who want to survive must be willing to fight
Or perish along the way
And we don’t know what comes next
Just that it’s a matter of life and death
We can’t let fear derail us
We have to stay on course
Cuz we’re being pursued by a faceless man
Riding on a white horse
There’s no letting up or quitting now
No chance to do this again
We have to stay strong and soldier on
Even with fatigue setting in
And we don’t know what comes next
Just that it’s a matter of life and death
We can’t let fear derail us
We have to stay on course
Cuz we’re being pursued by a faceless man
Riding on a white horse
We can’t let fear derail us
We have to stay on course
Cuz we’re being pursued by a faceless man
Riding on a white horse
