In the Way 04:48
lyrics
buy track
It seems like you never have time to go Your friends don’t remember, ‘cause you don’t see them anymore Summer days are a distant past No slowing down, it seems like everything goes so fast Wait for me I have to clear the path ‘cause I can’t see The way to you has been delayed But I’ll push through Why does everything get in the way? Day in and day out, it’s a game we have to play Shuffle our feet, there’s nowhere to go When you’re going too fast it feels like time has been slowed Wait for me I have to clear the path, ‘cause I can’t see The way to you has been delayed But I’ll push through I know it in my heart ‘Cause I can see the conclusion Don’t have to be apart We’ll dispel this illusion All those things that block our way Temporary decisions They’re only there to cause delay You have to be a believer That someday, some way We’ll be walking together All those things in the way will break away A clear path to the future for us all

Common Ground 04:56
lyrics
buy track
Lost somewhere in days abandoned An easy thing we thought would last A thought that has left us stranded Unable to adapt Torn, two sides never together Knives always at their throats Mourn for the forgotten treasure We're ready to explode Will we ever find our common ground? There's no good measure, confirmed by all accounts Communicated, a shared experience Illuminated, it doesn't have to be so serious And when the talk is over Where will we go next? Keep marching on like soldiers Just what you'd expect We've been all over it all Nothing left to say Negotiations stalled There's got to be a better way

The House in the Woods 05:42
lyrics
buy track
My mind had wandered My feet ached for the road A restless desire A land unconquered A forest uncontrolled I walked inside I feel your presence I taste your breath You have awakened me Your search for transcendence To cheat your death Find me and pay the fee The skies grow dark now Looking for some shelter A whisper on the wind Stagger to a marked house To escape the weather Will this be my end? Come in I have been waiting for you So many years I have wanted And now my dream has come true You can’t leave now This is just the beginning I’ll show you many things you’ll wish you never knew You tried to take my soul How could you do this? Don’t want to hear anymore I’ll never submit Free, I am free again Left you behind You’ll never be my friend No turning back, I will return to my home I am sorry Release, I will release you Even after all the things we’ve been through Never to return again I am sorry

Dependable 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Honest gestures unobserved A thin drawn smile for those concerned Patterns etched beneath chaotic lives And we rarely get what we deserve Thankful That I am not alone You know it's you I'm thinking of Someone I can rely on A world of loose ends I cannot hold The traffic grows weary when I'm on the road I needed some help just to move along I needed some harmony just to sing this song There's no way I can do this alone Everyday I have to roll this stone The love you give is plentiful Devotion given that's dependable

Ghost in the Hall 06:24
lyrics
buy track
There’s something missing here But I can’t say It’s all become unclear Like the skies that turn to gray I’m a stranger in my home And I feel so afraid There’s a ghost that’s so alone Hiding in the life that we made A phantom in the hall Underneath my bed Just hurting Trapped inside these walls Can’t get ahead There’s no returning Footsteps outside the door A lingering touch of yesterday You know I’ve always wanted more But sometimes those things just fade away Two spirits in the night A distant call for love Will they ever get this right? And pull themselves out from this sinking flood A phantom in the hall Underneath my bed Just hurting Trapped inside these walls Can’t get ahead There’s no returning The air full of remorse Haunted Tapping deep into the source Resurrection of the dead Nothing ever truly dies Awakened by the sun Something has changed You know you’ve always been the only one A life reclaimed A phantom in the hall Underneath my bed Just hurting Trapped inside these walls Can’t get ahead There’s no returning

Autumn 04:48
lyrics
buy track
A cold wind blows through the leaves Falling down with a part of me Let’s stay inside A blanket to keep us warm Cause everything’s alright As long as we’re together Soon the snow will fall The gray to purify It makes us feel so small So, Let’s stay inside A blanket to keep us warm Cause everything’s alright As long as we’re together We’ll make it through this storm Darkness takes me And I feel this winter will be the last I see So please don’t waste the days away So, Let’s stay inside A blanket to keep us warm Cause everything’s alright As long as we’re together We’ll make it through this storm Darkness takes me And I feel the winter will be the last I see So please don’t waste the days away Darkness takes me And I fear this winter will be the last I see So please don’t waste the days away

The Fog 06:46
lyrics
buy track
Empty streets tonight Just like my fortune Run through the red light Psychotic distortion The fog slowly settles in Sightless confusion The monsters bear their grin Solitary confusion I have become the wanderer Doomed to walk alone Contentment so close The fortunes that I’ve squandered No place to call home And now I’ll never know Eyes strain to stay awake Replay the mistakes And it’s so far Until I can overcome all I’m known for Consequences laid out on the road ahead The night takes its toll But I just keep on drivin’ No destination at all I try and drown the cold out Before the sun starts risin’ But I’m ready to hit the wall Eyes strain to stay awake Replay the mistakes And I’m fallin’ Waiting to be sober The rain will wash away But it will bring no closure And it’s so far away Until I can overcome all I’m known for Consequences laid out on the road ahead
9.
Ice 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Freezing Lost in the snow All hope for summer has faded Reaching Nowhere to go It’s been so long that I have waited For my salvation Drawn Into temptation Frost My body’s freezing Crossed I will be leaving I fought so hard against adversity But I faded into obscurity I look around I am all by myself From a distance I hear a mournful bell For my salvation Drawn Into temptation Frost My body’s freezing Crossed I will be leaving
10.
Old Friends 05:12
lyrics
buy track
A slide show seen through a window It’s a face I’ll never see again No holding on, I’ve had to let go I forgot the argument But now I remember everyone And time was not something that we could outrun I remember everyone I’m moving through the ages Makin’ my way back through the years I’ve seen a million faces Somehow we’ve persevered And now everyone is gone Moved on into the setting sun And I just want to say how much I miss you all Before it’s too late I hope you all get this message Each and every one of you I’m sorry for the moments that misled us Took for granted all the time we knew And now everyone is gone Moved on into the setting sun And I just want to say how much I miss you all When you hear this song just know that I’m talking to you
11.
Sleep Paralysis 08:45
lyrics
buy track
Slow down ‘cause it helps relieve the pressure It leaves you feeling numb Nothing anymore that makes you feel the pleasure Look at what you have become Paralyzed Irrelevant Intimidated Sterilized Malevolent Over sedated Nodding off Searching in sleep for the cure Formation of the wall that you hide in Forfeit your power to feel Seeking solace in your praises and your lost sins Your disadvantage revealed Pain is the only emotion Touching the heart of the void Begging for answers Praying that hope is not lost Repairing the fracture Ignoring the damage it caused Exploring the limits of existence Just to see if you could feel again Pushing back against the resistance Paralysis your last defense
12.
Three Fourths 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Caught up in a strange relationship Of where I'm supposed to be A fraction gaining a dictatorship A truth that’s easy to see Too much power In the hands of the few My life devoured Three-fourths of you When I was just a boy And life was just an adventure There was one thing I wished to avoid I swore I'd never surrender My vow holds true But I’ve been fighting a losing battle Three-fourths failing Called back to the fold To the world they created The walls set to implode Their rule will be dictated
13.
Question 04:28
lyrics
buy track
You think you know Answers to questions Failed to show Never took the suggestion So superior No need for discretion Scarred interior Always pay for concession Here's some advice for you now So listen well It doesn’t matter what you’ve gone through Self-pity's the way to hell So damn condescending A sweet mommy’s boy Beginning of your ending Weakness identified And you just act like you’re crucified Who are you to know? You've never been anywhere Another domino Crying life’s not fair You know I've been there Don't turn away I'm only trying to help you Don't question me, boy
14.
Time and Place 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Exploding through the past Demanding to know why questions were never asked You had to be there Pulling things out of thin air Confusion inside your head Past mistakes or a future dread Looking into a clouded glass Sure of the image right before it collapsed Accepted before the change It doesn’t matter, the truth’s been rearranged You had to be there Pulling things out of thin air Changing the future By erasing the past Placating the consumer We never were that attached
15.
You Kids 03:28
lyrics
buy track
One day I woke up and discovered I was old Nothing had changed except the doors were all now closed How did this happen? Stiil the same as yesterday Some snot-nosed punk told me to get out of the way Walk on Your time in here is done Where did all these kids come from? Disrespected from the morning ‘til the night Out of touch no longer know wrong from right Here's a lesson they haven’t learned just yet Someday they’ll be like me a vessel of regret You kids Just barely out of the crib You’re so full of shit
16.
Generational Warfare 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Everyone is a moron They'll never be as good as us A downward trend for us to ride on Can't take the time to self-adjust Empathy, what the hell is that? You're either for or against us We keep it real, just spitting facts There's nothing left to discuss Hating everyone in the world 'Cause I'm convinced I'm right Forgetting all the lessons I've learned But, then again, I may have lied Generational warfare It's gonna eat us all alive Living out this nightmare Only the strongest will survive
17.
Other People 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Screaming, loudest in the room Dreaming, high upon the fumes Reaching to pull you down again Watch out, it’s never-ending Failing, just trying to do what’s right Scaling, the walls won’t stay upright They know just what to do with you So long, you’re never coming down again Locked in the tower There’s no beginning and there is no end Blister, so suck upon your thumb Filter the things that you’ve become Masses exploding everyday You're lost inside them Fish bowl, such an easy prey Control what you do and say Blindly searching for the edge And they’re always there That’s other people They always bring you down Blessing, it’s always in disguise Guessing, but never on my mind Trouble just around the bend People, they never were your friends I know, I've seen this all before Lied to, shaken to the core Pretend that none of this exists Too bad, you’re never coming down Those other people They always bring you down
18.
Fault 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Lessons you chose to ignore Pathways you didn’t explore You thought it’d be better this way but then You only found a locked door Now everything is a chore You've never been so bored You've given up everything because your’re Always looking for more Wasting and failing and refusing to see That you have already lost Sinking into the hold that you’ve been digging You'll never believe you’re at fault You can’t stand anymore Always completely ignored One day you’ll become like the others who have Not become a whore

Deeper Meaning 07:51
lyrics
buy track
Lulled into a strangled state Unconscious starving, discovered too late The daily toll of a deadly routine Forced in a corner, always caught in between Waves come crashing over The end is getting closer The clock is running slower No more time to give to our Searches for an answer Engaged in endless banter Everyone's become a cancer Fighting my way out of this prison cell For some resolution For a piece of mind I can call my own A deffered conclusion Going deeper into a world below I close my eyes as I drift away In my moment of isolation An exhilaration where I'd like to stay As I face the revelation Watching, I've never seen this before Something I've always ignored A simple shape is beginning to form There's no stopping it now Something I can’t do without Farther and farther I keep heading down Falling Crawling Crushed in the silence Exit through defiance Reaching the core And I still wanted more

The Sad Tale of Cowboy Bob 04:27
lyrics
buy track
My name is Bob, I ride a horse called Slug And we ride the lonesome plain Don’t have a job, but I have my truck It's all I need to dull the pain Voices calling to me Whiskey in my iced tea I don’t know what’s real anymore Scenes from my childhood I never grew up It’s how I like it Just down on my luck You can find me at the bar on a Tuesday night My daddy told me it would be all right It seems that lately everything is a mess Old Slug left me and I have to confess I am losing my mind Close my eyes My demise Wishing it’d all go away Wait, maybe I can get it all back again Hope, I know it’s not real but I can pretend High noon I’m calling out to you Draw your pistol There’s a killing to do Ride into the sunset I’ve got nothing to live for Returning to the plain A shot rings out I’ll never make it to the seashore My whole life’s been in vain Buzzards closing in
