Sentience 05:28
lyrics
Day break, the sun creeps in Heart's wake, it's starts again What is this notion? Full of emotion Numbness starting to fade Progress for what was paid Some revelations Bring new sensations Feeling the sand beneath my toes Escape the fray All that I've wanted is to know How long will this take? Giving up selfish ways Breaking out of the haze Am I on fire? I'm just a liar Give, teaching a gaze to glance outward Break, clearing the head, looking homeward Day, light rays over the horizon Numb, fading away with the nightmares

Lore 04:31
lyrics
Tied down, inside fantastic dreams And reality turns into fiction No sound, all the imposing greed And it all depends on jurisdiction Stories we're told Ages of old Will we live up to what they've sown? Not on our own Fate defined, given sooner or later And all our lives How can we measure up to their frame of mind? When perfection is key, can we press rewind? On this lore that they hold true? Break down, as if the best intentions Would suffice in beating the addiction Lost / found, the strength of courtesy To open minds to sources of this friction Stories we're told Ages of old Will we live up to what they've sown? Not on our own What happened to the life that we once sought for? What happened to the course we set ahead? When will we be aligned with what we're made for? When will we be renewed not stifled instead?

Stride 04:57
lyrics
If you wish there's a way It's ok, move on from yesterday I'm convinced, no words minced And I've made progress since Am I a fool? 'Cause I could have sworn That I knew this from the start I'll impart, abstract art Imaginary hearts And souls looking for answers Heaven knows that they're out there All I know is from a revelation Sometimes I feel like I just follow the tide Sinking feeling closing in I may yet hit stride It can get to your head, feeling force fed And make you think that there's no way out But you're fortunate, it's not the end It's actually the beginning of a Brand new life, you'll be alright You'll see there's hope You're not alone I may yet hit my stride Feeling the sand on my toes Oh, I am not sinking

Parade 04:26
lyrics
Who is to judge mistakes? How much more can we take? Thriving on "will they break?" Entertainment for our sake Is it the way we fall? Or how we stand so tall? It is at our beck and call Why don't we feel so small? In this little world that we're in Soaked with pride and so full of sin This is the state that we're in Everyone's on stage It's not a show, it's not a public affair So get out, nobody else should know Don't talk about how much you think you care Don't wanna know, don't wanna get in your head It's wrong that you think that you have the right I'm getting sick and tired Privacy has expired A drug that will get us wired And we are our own suppliers And we will supply it again and again

Vashon 04:31
lyrics
There was a time full of sweet innocence The brightest light was flooding into a wide open gaze When sole possession was two-hundred cents Horizon fades in the distance on how it's appraised Wonder at the star-filled sky Think of all the reasons why Magic bringing worlds to life As if to send in its reply Traces of light reaching through time and space And here we are in this wonderful place Cold creeps at night, but the sun brings its rays Waves break on the shore, and these moments are days And time will pass as life goes on and on The fading memory of the wind on the water's surface The tide continues to rise on Vashon Unless neglected to observe, no visible difference Wonder at the star-filled sky Think of all the reasons why Magic bringing worlds to life As if to send in its reply Memories wake Oh, the time of youth As the waves break Oh, the point of view
6.
Macabre 05:10
lyrics
The scorching heat It burns at my feet Elegance lost when we count the cost of certain defeat The sound of a horn Then we will mourn The chaos is real, hear this appeal, and be forewarned Pain and confusion is ours for the taking now Unspeakable view The stories are true The life left behind, engraved in my mind Knots in my gut, as I am in this rut It's inside my veins, and I'm gonna go insane This life left behind engraved in my mind And I am to blame Pain and confusion is ours for the taking If we choose to ignore love... And compassion There is a life of abundance waiting for us When pain returns to me, I will no longer be Crippled from all of the memories Every day can be written so I can see I am no longer holding the keys
7.
Incandescent 04:33
lyrics
Bright as the sun, You radiate And the pain just melts away And as I wonder at my fate I am sure You're here to stay In my darkest day I am not afraid If I lose my way I will be okay The sun illuminates the horizon As the morning summons the daylight The quiet beckoning, stop and listen Fog is lifting, You're incandescent Day after day goes by No longer living a lie And the stars, they shine Deep into the night In my darkest day I am not afraid If I lose my way I will be okay Never could I have guessed that my debt was paid Forever will I live by the promise You made
8.
Dissolution 05:19
lyrics
Wait for a moment, till your feet hit the ground When the door opens, you will hear the sound Of a gun! I follow the sound As the mood sets the tone Fear clouds judgement at every turn And causes us to crash and burn When we look for someone to blame We hope to cover up our shame Shooting in the dark All I ever wanted Is it out of reach? All that I know Wouldn't show inside me It's a mystery Sing a lullaby to forget every turn We'll misplace all our memories that haunt us at night If it doesn't work, then we'll do it again We'll misplace all our memories that haunt us at night I follow the sound As the mood sets the tone What will be found? I am alone There is no overcoming this!
9.
Au contraire 04:55
lyrics
Haven't decided what to do next Should I stay inside, or should I risk my neck? And the truth of it is I don't have a clue I just feel sedated with no point of view Just step away, and clear your head I can't take another angle That contradicts the rest It seems sometimes that I have fallen Too far off of the deep end I can't take another earful From those who know what's best I don't want to follow another trend I've become frustrated, and it eats me whole And the things I've stated, they take their toll Are there answers hidden when I need them most? Or have I forbidden myself to know? I want to know It's not too late to understand I can't take another angle That contradicts the rest I can't take another earful From those who know what's best I can't take it anymore I can't take another angle That contradicts the rest It seems sometimes that I have fallen Too far off of the deep end I can't take another earful From those who know what's best Which way is up? I have no idea because: I can't take another angle That contradicts the rest I can't take another earful From those who know what's best

Meander 04:52
lyrics
There is something in me That hides beneath the surface Telling me I know where to go All the while I'm trying To search and find my purpose You're waiting and You already know Should I just give in? Cause I know my faults are taking me far away I really just want to stay I meander, all the same And I know Your love can welcome back any stray Now I see the light of day And I will keep true aim Every chance I get I get closer to You And I know You're near You're waiting, You already know I don't deserve this What do I do with it?

Cyanide 06:11
lyrics
In one sitting, damage caused Quickly fading, can't press pause All the same, if giving in Not a game, you'll never win Hands of time, can only tick By design, it always sticks Corrosion, poisoning Does this tunnel have a light? Can't get out without a fight Pivotal moment at this time Your faithful hands stretch out to mine And I surrender all I am You give me strength to stand again Winds of change, call my name There's no blame, there's no shame Peace of mind, the future's bright My freedom, forgiven Every tunnel has a light Can't get out without a fight Reach out to Me I hear you saying that I can Swim against the waves Your faithful hands stretch out to mine I surrender all I am

Alluvium 06:45
lyrics
This could be the beginning of one Indescribable change become The potential is in fertile foundation Conducted by a steady hand, oh So full of power and of command, oh Necessity to bloom this land Left all alone There's nothing but a seed That waits and wishes it would grow River rush in It fills the need that makes one hope For more than they could know As the water flows it brings new life Molding us into what's good and right There are no more feelings of alienation Conducted by a steady hand, oh So full of power and of command, oh Necessity to bloom this land Feeling the sand beneath my toes Escape the fray All that I wanted was to know How long will this take? Stories we're told, ages of old I may yet hit my stride In this little world that we're in Traces of light reaching through time and space There is a life of abundance waiting for us Bright as the sun, You radiate Sing a lullaby to forget every turn I can't take another angle Pivotal moment at this time I know Your love will welcome back any stray
