Homeward 03:12
All I really want is to go see you now But I’m bound by the thought that what compels me is Going to lead me further, further, further still Ending in a world where I know you don’t live And all I want for you all I want for you I doubt you even know what I see when I look at you We could traverse our wilderness like it was something new Shown by path behind you’ll come to see We are home together finally
2.
Snow 06:04
Just a show Thought I’d go Could be a good time But after all that all the pieces began their fall into line Of a picture I feel I once had seen Hit a sign We were fine But no one did believe That anything should be happening between A fool and a girl so haphazardly Don’t fear to forget me Saw the view Thought I knew How this would go down Patient distance was to be my final adversary now Like a warm aching pain that calls me home Here’s the snow Which I owe This solemn quiet mind The countenance to see you as a lonely burning place to find And of course I know I could be wrong Oh when will I see you here sitting next to me?
3.
Go Alone 03:02
I could forget the way it felt when memories melt away Before my eyes had seen this gaping open endless callous sea That swirls surrounds but yet is somehow still contained inside of me Go alone or go together I don’t know what sounded better In truth I’d rather sit forever in this vast inclement weather I can’t remember how is felt to fear the belt that Wraps around my seat reclined in tension drawing me to see the Fact of the immortal being wrestling to make me set myself free
4.
Tame Machine 03:28
There's going to be a day When there's nothing left to do Except wait and see if there is going to be a rescue And even if there may Who am I to say to you How to get there without care for just a thank you Call me a machine Just not a villain So tame it's obscene It’s not all I am The kindest thing I can To pretend that I don't know What it is to find yourself alone below Might someday bring me to What I only hope is you And the weight of knowing what it means to be through Stop thinking you can fight it
5.
Hell 06:08
These ashes are hidden now faintly red A striving's blown over, by which they've spread The dust at rest because rest was what sought despite the notion of figments now lost You will not run You are not done You cannot shun The path laid bare Remember the gravel that lead me down Stumbling on it for fear of your crown A toll to be paid but none quite as dear As exile to teach me what to revere You will not run You are not done You cannot shun The path laid bare Confidence in all that you've shown me to always Trust and care more fiercely than fire to cause all others to see what it is to be guided through bleakness yet despite that I can't keep from getting it wrong
6.
I was a boy lost in doubt Filled with lies I would tout Honestly I deceived Everyone I would meet The weight's about to fall Forming truths without care Judging souls with my glare Foolishly I would not flee Rather I'd be crushed beneath The weight's about to fall And now it's clear The fear did fade away Just please be near me I was shown how to behave Before I knew your name Suddenly I woke up From a life without love The weights about to fall Hold my hand you would say And I'll help you through this day When it’s all done you will see How every step lead to me The weights about to fall And now it's clear The fear did fade away Just please be near me
7.
Shadows 05:05
It seems to me that we're leaving and how can that be since we've barely arrived? Evenings passed by like a plane so distant and faint yet we still knows it's shape We are shadows Each other’s Shadows Friendships like fires need breathing to keep them warm inside when the night's not far away we'll still go on in our own ways knowing that in fact we have cast each other out Let's set a blaze so we might grow and grow
8.
Oregon 03:05
I don't know If we should go Out away across the stream It could carry me away Just like every other day that ends in my defeat I may jump to escape knowing every moment that I am not my own and constantly alone just a breath apart from you And oh how I doubt that this day will ever cease A choice too drawn out so this day wills me no peace Oh, how I doubt How I doubt Every Breath That I waste Draws me even closer to A distant made up land If I can just withstand this boundless steel span If you thought That I could bring peace to your wild fire how would you behave? even if the same, I think I'd love you more. And oh How I doubt that this day will ever cease A choice too drawn out so this day wills me no peace Oh, how I doubt How I doubt
9.
Let's go somewhere I can see destinations So sparse I may have a chance to pick the right one it's always out there they're always out there you're always out there in plain sight I think I need a nap what if I woke up in the street of a different city The scene plays out inside my mind all to the same end
10.
One time in waters we have never seen We will doubt everything that made it seem real One time across town whichever that may be We will cut each other for fear of losing sleep Just keep breathing I know the feeling Someday our paths will cross One time surrounded by pathetic awful people We will trust each other and punch them in their minds One time fearlessly as we fly amongst the fields We will stare endlessly at all the things he’s given us One time as thought pours from every nerve I will tell you simply that I love you
11.
Brick by brick He'll build this up he'll lay this down Diligence in mischief to delve underground fortify the passages to keep away Anything and everything so he can pray Oh my god this is much too much for me Callously he barricades childhood tomb to live in it forever so to never bloom
12.
Bound 06:12
Starving me Just to see Ribs break free Yet I agree I adore What you wore What you stood for Now what's the score Turn around see who's crowned it's every pound of you I've bound hallelujah
13.
North 03:37
Can’t stop thinking about who I want to be Common shapes disintegrate and fall beneath Surrounded by sand melted down by my own heat Backed by clouds that only tell of better things They’re fed by oceans that encase this rising tide That’s pouring down from all around to flow through me Floating nowhere and just about to fall asleep Can’t stop thinking about who I want to be
14.
You told me not to worry Not to hurry It will as soon be behind Standing by the roadside Just past low tide You’ve never been so kind In return I choose to despair Say the Lord’s Prayer And assume I’ve lost my mind But writings of my loved ones And their lost sons Show my heart is signed All you said was trust me Harsh words in the morning Though alarming May just be to remind That evenings with my father Are no longer A thing I cannot find Even if the days are long and I fear that I don’t belong I have no lack of grace You’ve shown to me so many joys that I just want to makes some noise that fills up all of space
