When you see my face
The sun will never shine the same
And the pictures you hang
Will never look the same
I bet it all on glory
And spend my days on trying
To figure out just what the fuck
I’m gonna get for nothing
I never said i’d find a line between
What i want and what i need
It’s still a telescopic dream
(Chorus)
We laid these foundations on wet soil – before the sun would set
Before these buildings made their way – into a slow decend
We walk away
With our heads held high
As these buildings
Become mere stepping stones
Now we travel in giant steps
To bridge this gap
Now we marvel at the ruin
Of our neighbouring foes
As the landscape changes into
A less diverse city glow
But there is hope beyond the horizon
A fracture less world black and white
For us to lead this oncoming front
Still keeping it in sight
(chorus)
And we add to the structure
With our head in our hands
We never imagined what we’d build
With these bricks and sand
(chorus)

I have these 4 words for you
But you need to promise me
You can handle it
I don’t need this
When the sky unfolds
I will lift my weary head
And breathe in the dust
You’ve kicked in my face
(chorus)
Keep in mind the vital signs that keep you breathing
Not an order
Just a request
To keep you from screaming
I can see our future
Though my eyes are already bloodstained
And it looks so bright
But it’s time to go
It’s time to go
(chorus)
And when this sea of dust
Rests upon the ground
I hope to see you standing there
I’ll keep you safe with me
With me
I’ll never let you out of my sight
I’ll keep you by my side
We will walk this road again
And never look back
The sun will pave our way
Through this cold and lonely place
(chorus)
I’ll never let you out my sight
I’ll keep you by my side

Sometimes you need to get hurt
Not just to
Remember what pain is
But to get your life back on track
Back on track
And do the things you’ve dreamed of
I’m getting back
I’m getting back on track
I know you took the burden off me
And believe me it’s what i wanted
But the more i tried
The more your patience died
So hard i tried
But you let it die
(chorus)
These stitches are out
And you can see the scars - but they will fade fast
And just as fast i will find my feet
You will not see me take a second look
Never looking back
This is progress
I’m burning down this house
I’m burning it down
You’ll have to excuse
The look in my eyes
That I’ve been trying to hide
Don’t change your opinion of me
I haven’t changed who i am
I haven’t changed who i am
I’ve been trying to hide
I’m getting back to basics
Where everything seems simple
Rest assured i will never
Turn my back
(chorus)
I’m a day older
I’m a day stronger
And when i look into my reflection
There’s a new direction
I’m a day older
I’m a day stronger
I don’t need guidance home (but i need a helping hand)
This wall has been missing bricks too long (someone show me the path)
That leads to happiness (and i’ll forever be in your debt)
I promise you
I will be back
But before i go
I need to know
Will you wait for me

Deafens Like Sirens

We filter our dreams
To stay intact with hope
So say you’re mine
At least for now
And I’ll let go, and I’ll let go
A star studded sky could only steal my eyes tonight
But the clouds are out
And the darkness covers my sight
And there you are still shining bright
Just as i remember the only one in my sight
(chorus)
The howl of the wind
Deafens like sirens
But i still hear your voice
Telling me to hang on
And there you are but not for too long
Heavy hands heal open wounds
And my hands always
They always fall first
So consider this falling
In fine form and finesse
Let’s rewrite this story word for word
Let’s make it picture perfect
A world we would rather be
And rather see
(chorus)
Heavy hands heal open wounds
And my hands always
They always fall first
So consider this falling
In fine form and finesse

Dodged A Bullet

I stayed awake through the trivial lies
In pursuit of what turned out
To be a waste of my time
A tale of broken promises
I’d take it all back if i could
I still wonder after all these years
If there was any truth
Behind anything you ever said
I bet you would try to deny
And now i’m better
I’m laughing the night away
I’ve got everything i’ve ever needed
And not a single word to take back
I’ve got everything i’ve ever needed
And not a single word to take back
Don’t ever think that there was
Ever a ray of light
I spat what i had behind grit teeth
I couldn’t wait to leave you behind
As i take a breath to fill my lungs
No longer waking up a bitter man
For as long as i’m breathing
I will carry myself out to sea
Myself out to sea
I will carry myself out to sea
Myself out to sea
I will carry myself out to sea

In Leaps And Bounds
03:43

So show me your scars
You have nothing to fear
And no secrets to keep
And I’ll take leaps and bounds to keep you around
Because the thought of our skin
Never touching again will kill me
The distances
We have travelled
And the prices that we’ve paid
Feels a lifetime
A lifetime away
From anything we could accomplish
So stick by my side
We’ll leave this town behind
This highway is taking its toll
And these lanes are closing in
If we head straight for the sun
There’s no telling where this will end
Let’s push our path
Through the middle of this field
This highway is taking its toll
And these lanes are closing in
Time stood still for that moment
And it was inevitable
We will touch the sun today
We will touch the sun today
Yet we will not burn
For our bodies
Are already scorned

Do you ever wonder
How we made it this far
When the thrill was dying out and there was no one left to impress
I still believe
This is all i have – this is all i have
So here’s to hardship
A trail lined with blood and sweat
I’m making my mark
And lining it with gold
We will travel this earth
And be eminence bound
As we set fire to our tracks
That we’ve weaved without accolade
In this ocean i feel weightless
This dream is slowly coming true
We are no longer lost
Looking for a way home
A pristine parade awaits us
And through the gates we will run
The rocks in our way have ceased
To stop us in our tracks
I feel at liberty
To roam these empty halls
With little sorrow towards
The hills that once
Governed our path of flight
Here’s to hardship
A trail lined with blood and sweat
(chorus)
I am roaming these empty halls
These hills no longer hold me in
We are no longer lost
We are no longer lost
We are heading home
I have finally found my way home
This is all i have
We are heading for eminence
I still believe
