Lyrics in Alphabetical Order:
All That is Within Me:
Be Thou:
When darkness steal my sight, be thou my daylight,
When everything falls down, be thou my solid ground,
When I am a refugee, be thou a friend to me,
When I have no shield, no sword, be thou my living word,
When I feel my hope is lost, be thou my barren cross
When darkness steal my sight, be thou my daylight,
When everything falls down, be thou my solid ground,
When I am a refugee, be thou a friend to me,
When I have no shield, no sword, be thou my living word,
When I feel my hope is lost, be thou my barren cross
Beyond the Tracks:
Don’t worry we believe you
Don’t worry we won’t leave you
Just beyond the tracks
We’re not welcome back
They come out at night
And old familiar friend
Blurry lines, these eyes
Just my reflection
If they come back this time
That old familiar trend
How many times they try
With their new weapons
Not a single street light, it’s not that simple
No longer civil
Amplified in my eyes
Breathing is believing this time
Bathed in darkness, confused and startled
A war you wanted, blood addiction
So we decided this time
If we’re blind we can’t tell the truth from fiction
Don’t worry we believe you
Don’t worry we won’t leave you
Just beyond the tracks
We’re not welcome back
They come out at night
And old familiar friend
Blurry lines, these eyes
Just my reflection
If they come back this time
That old familiar trend
How many times they try
With their new weapons
Not a single street light, it’s not that simple
No longer civil
Amplified in my eyes
Breathing is believing this time
Bathed in darkness, confused and startled
A war you wanted, blood addiction
So we decided this time
If we’re blind we can’t tell the truth from fiction
Birds:
Two different nests decorated with weathered tones,
From materials surrounding and some their own,
Imperfect dew-soaked circles nudged by rays in the morn',
Remnants of history spread throughout, to try to keep them warm,
Spring casually called to Life and asked that she may lead,
The beautiful, quirky, caring bird near the other's tree,
Treasured songs might echo sweet, to fuel curiosity,
And pour down the inspiration, to flutter to new leaves,
Then they would share in esoteric winds over and over again,
To dive, to glide, spin and soar, all in merriment.

Black Wings:
I'm not sure if this is real, am I crawling into my tomb?
Are you the wind that I feel touch my open wounds?
It's hard to see through dust and debris, are those your wings, your beautiful wings,
I'll rest my cheek, await underneath in the shelter of the fallen trees
I'm not sure if this is real, am I crawling into my tomb?
Are you the wind that I feel touch my open wounds?
It's hard to see through dust and debris, are those your wings, your beautiful wings,
I'll rest my cheek, await underneath in the shelter of the fallen trees
Blisters:
Wishing for the days of younger agility
Finding no rest in the stress of responsibility
Pushing for what’s left of my ability
Passing every test but leaving me I’ll at ease
Tell me little sister, the blisters form much faster
Tell me older brother, does your shadow slave serve one master
Maybe I’ll wake up to another reality
We justify it to climb higher and higher
If what we’re fighting for is only our family
We’ll trust in love that leaves someone inspired
Wishing for the days of younger agility
Finding no rest in the stress of responsibility
Pushing for what’s left of my ability
Passing every test but leaving me I’ll at ease

If what we’re fighting for is only our family
We’ll trust in love that leaves someone inspired
Brighter:
People leave me flattered, but my consciousness is tattered, didn't think my complaints would matter.
But this is my confession, another lesson, another invention, this is my confession, another lesson.
Is this my blessing that I'm second guessing, I'll just keep confessing.

Blood on the Mountain:
Hey, everybody disappeared Identity crisis,
let go of what they will,
Hey, calling every animal I am one of you,
come and take what you will,
There’s not much left of me,
Nothing left to feel,
Lost in the mountain,
But I won’t stand still,
It’s a good foundation,
Yeah I might get killed,
There’s blood on the mountain,
But I won’t stand still,
If it’s not mine I’m not worried,
And I know it’s real.

Brother North:
It's Sunday morning and I'm the only one here,
Keys at 90 degrees and others in fear,
For someone who did nothing all day,
I feel so accomplished,
Tucked in my office, hey somebody watch this,
It's the way I'm blaming the lowers to keep myself clear,
Trees don't seize opportunities like I do here,
You won’t believe what I run away from,
I’m just dodging bullets,
But if I tried to face all my problems,
Well, that would be foolish.

Bulletproof:
Is this reality, a sign of the age
The questions in focus, the answers are vague
This is brutality, so we bury our dead
Did you get what you wanted?
Then move on to the next plague
Chorus
Shots, fired, I hear your tongue let loose
The bullets were perfect
I guess I’m just bulletproof
Is this reality, a sign of the age
The questions in focus, the answers are vague
This is brutality, so we bury our dead
Did you get what you wanted?
Then move on to the next plague
Chorus
Shots, fired, I hear your tongue let loose
The bullets were perfect
I guess I’m just bulletproof
A Clever End:
Hey, man I think it’s crooked
Clearly something went missing
Hold tight, and don’t question my methods
So I’ll just get right with God in the next
Few seconds that I have left
Wherever I land, it’s out of my hands
I’m out of my mind, but let’s still make plans
A clever endeavor
A clever endeavor
Forever and ever
Well, friend, I think it’s over
It’s been and honor serving
This time, I know where I’m headed
So I’ll just sit tight, I’ll close my eyes
Brace for impact from falling skies
I know it won’t hurt and this has to work
I’m out of time, I’m out of lies
Hey, man I think it’s crooked
Clearly something went missing
Hold tight, and don’t question my methods

Curiosity:
I feel so lost
So many questions in my head
Pouring over every word you said
A fire, a flood, a furnace, a cross
But Under the surface I feel lost
You have my curiosity
Chorus
You died, you rose
You served defiantly
I’m here, alive
I will not go quietly
I feel so lost
I feel so lost
So many questions in my head
Pouring over every word you said
A fire, a flood, a furnace, a cross
But Under the surface I feel lost
You have my curiosity
Chorus
You died, you rose
You served defiantly
I’m here, alive
I will not go quietly
I feel so lost
Cycles:
Close the doors, start the cycle
White, hot, everything that I’m afraid of
No cover, stranded glass mansions
Recognize the visions in the attic
No cover, not a place to stand in
Search for space, but the gate's abandoned
You become everything that I’m worshipping
So I go forward and prove my bravery
This fear was never my companion
But it was not exactly ever my enemy
Break the doors, stop the cycle
Close the doors, start the cycle
White, hot, everything that I’m afraid of
No cover, stranded glass mansions
Recognize the visions in the attic
No cover, not a place to stand in
Search for space, but the gate's abandoned
You become everything that I’m worshipping
So I go forward and prove my bravery
This fear was never my companion
But it was not exactly ever my enemy
Break the doors, stop the cycle
Deafening Love:
Dystopioid:
Raining mercy from above,
Answered prayer from up above,
Raining fire on a flood,
Bombs are dropped on bridegroom's blood,
They make it look easy,
They make it look easy,
An army wrapped in a dusty shroud,
Sacrificed under a mushroom cloud,
Spoiled the ending for the prophets,
Altered the altar for the profit,
They made it look easy,
How did they make it look easy,
Healing rain for the hurting,
Living water for the thirsty,
Raining mercy from above,
Answered prayer from up above,
Raining fire on a flood,
Bombs are dropped on bridegroom's blood,
They make it look easy,
They make it look easy,
An army wrapped in a dusty shroud,
Sacrificed under a mushroom cloud,
Spoiled the ending for the prophets,
Altered the altar for the profit,
They made it look easy,
How did they make it look easy,
Healing rain for the hurting,
Living water for the thirsty,
Empty:
But I get so tired and trying to keep composed through all the fighting and all the crying,
I keep filling but still feel empty I keep struggling but I can't move
but even with trouble surrounding I can still find peace with you my friend.
The Captain says brace for impact it's going to be a bumpy life but even with problems a plenty I can still find peace with you. But I get so tired and trying to keep composed through all the fighting and all the crying

Fail the Fall:
I seek, I try, I fail, I fall,
I seek
I'm out of words
I try
I can't say enough
I fail
Thoughts in my head
I fall
Are running amuck
I seek I try I fail I fall, a billion battles destroyed it all, I seek I try I fail I fall, until all that's left is me and God,
I try to pray
I can’t stay awake
I give my all
If that’s what it takes
I seek
I'm at a loss
I try
Your grace astounds
I fail
If all else is square
I fall
Your ways are round
I seek I try I fail I fall, a billion battles destroyed it all, I seek I try I fail I fall, until all that's left is me and God

Father East:
Pushing through the pressure
Sinking to the depths
I’m just taking orders baby, left, right, left
You should probably believe me
When I tell you that I can’t breath
I sank so far down
So deep that I can’t see
I Just do what I’m told
This is me surrendering
Left, right, left, right, left
Pushing through the pressure
Sinking to the depths
I’m just taking orders baby, left, right, left
You should probably believe me
When I tell you that I can’t breath
I sank so far down
So deep that I can’t see
I Just do what I’m told
This is me surrendering
Left, right, left, right, left
Fever:
Why are you so arrogant?
And is any of this really evidence?
You assume your words are relevant
I think another spirit just took residence
They know your name in every venue
You leave a static residue
It’s just residual sinew
Like every sin you’ve ever been through
Just break the habit
Try to reinvent the gospel
Just tell the truth
And leave before they all get hostile
Why are you so arrogant?
And is any of this really evidence?
You assume your words are relevant
I think another spirit just took residence
They know your name in every venue
You leave a static residue
It’s just residual sinew
Like every sin you’ve ever been through
Just break the habit
Try to reinvent the gospel
Just tell the truth
And leave before they all get hostile
Follow It:
And if, no one shows you the way, how can you follow it? How can you follow it?
You bet your life on it, put more than money on it.
And if, no one shows you the way, how can you follow it? How can you follow it?
You bet your life on it, put more than money on it.
Fortune Dive Hundred:
Falling throat first into greed, can I get a rise? grey matter hijacked strings, that sweet prize, The fabricated kings, they’re crowned twice, clever cold illusion of needs, but born to die, Fortune Dive Hundred, Billions of starving undead, men, women, and children unfed, Least of these, lay their heads without a warm bed, Melt the crowns of kings to feed those in need

Glowing Nowhere:
In the spirit of transparency,
Hear it, birth and clarity,
In the wake of death,
Opaque with breath,
These ghosts just float transparently,
Glowing nowhere, they mean no harm,
Eternity is listening, no need to be alarmed,
We stay together,
We shine somehow,
Somewhere, someone,
Just for now.
No need to be alarmed.

Gotta Keep Moving:
I think it looks bleak, can I be anybody else
What is the cost, and if we bleed then just let us bleed
Who can I trust, when I feel I’m not one of us
Are the souls lost
No time to grieve, gotta keep moving
Am I just weak, lost like everybody else
And is grace still free, does that mean what I think it means
In pieces, not perfect
Wretched man that I am
Your peace is so perfect
That I don’t understand
Can’t hardly speak, my words are devices
So I’ll pray in tongues, as the spirit improvises
Who can I trust, when I feel I’m not one of us
And if you really bled, did you say what I think you said.
I think it looks bleak, can I be anybody else

Gripping Home:
Some are content to lay back and burn,
Some are content they just never learn,
Can anybody see me? Can anybody hear me?
I'll stare at death, deny him his request, I've come to the end, I'll deny him his request,
Can anybody see me? Can anybody hear me? Can anybody see me? Can anybody hear me?
Some are content to lay back and burn,

Isn't Me:
I feel like I’m spinning out of control
The shadows remain of the forgotten souls
The reflection I see, I just isn’t me
This justice in me, it just isn’t me
This just isn’t me, isn’t me
This recovery takes more than one night
I feel ok, but I’m not ready to fight
The reflection I see, it just isn’t me
This justice in me, it just isn’t me
This just isn’t me, isn’t me
I feel like I’m spinning out of control
The shadows remain of the forgotten souls
The reflection I see, I just isn’t me
This justice in me, it just isn’t me
This just isn’t me, isn’t me
This recovery takes more than one night
I feel ok, but I’m not ready to fight
The reflection I see, it just isn’t me
This justice in me, it just isn’t me
This just isn’t me, isn’t me
Jeopardy:
Keepsake:
We felt used, this place was not a palace,
Expressionless faces, frozen and calloused,
Defrauded, confused, unbelievably challenged,
Don’t let the sadness eat you alive In the real world, only the fake really die,
Chorus: I know you are safe kept Even if you don’t feel safe yet,
I will keep you, just wait,
Be still and know you are my keepsake,
Let this refuge take shape,
Let the sunshine embrace you,
A whirlwind of faith,
Planted unforeseen rescue

Meltdown:
Alarms will make a sound, melt this reactor down,
Take action take it now, make them go underground,
Prepare for a meltdown, prepare for a meltdown, prepare for a meltdown,
Burn your bones to dust, scattered with the rest of us,

Lift:
I've been saved, but I need rescued
I've been saved, but I need rescued
Make it Darker:
Man made, crushed faith,
Dovetail legends for god’s sake,
In the throws of belief,
On the shoulders of giants,
Settle for less, just don’t be defiant,
You think you're saving the world,
You only work to make it darker,
You think your curse is a cure,
It only serves to push me harder,
Falling down to earth,
Bleeding aging cold whipped satellite,
Spiraling toward the unheard,
From blanket free built champaign shrinking height.

Make No Waves:
Mother West:
Sing like the soldiers do,
Louder, they can't hear you,
Fire just over head,
Make them wish they were dead,
Non lethal , venomous, please won't you worship us, toxic, sterilized, close mind, open eyes
I can't take you seriously any more,

One Last Firestorm:
Just another icon, a firestorm, a sterile horizon
Just another fight song, weapon of war, a chorus to die for
No longer paralyzed by
A savior to sever, to cut every tie with
Promise me another day
One more chance to plead my case
Don’t lie to me, there is another way
Mercy and Grace, all I can say
Just another icon, a firestorm, a sterile horizon
Just another fight song, weapon of war, a chorus to die for
No longer paralyzed by
A savior to sever, to cut every tie with
Promise me another day
One more chance to plead my case
Don’t lie to me, there is another way
Mercy and Grace, all I can say
Open Water:
I guess I’m stuck in a saltwater hallucination
Under the waves I can feel every single abrasion
Desperate for dry land, lost in open water
I point it out but at this point I’m just a bother
Vertigo has me believing an outright lie
That just below me is nothing but open sky.
No rest for my head, no rest for my feet..
I hear the sirens, they won’t sing me to sleep
No apprehension, no thought as to why
But how Ironic an ocean just bled me dry.
They won’t, they won’t sing me to sleep
They won’t, they won’t, sing me to sleep
......sing me to sleep....

Pair of Dice:
Took a chance no paradise
premeditated no one chose this
Diamonds, bullets, it's all useless
but you'll never see him coming
Death has beautiful wings but you'll never see him coming,
He won't stop, you won't outrun him,
Diamonds, bullets, it's all useless,
collected, cool, and focused, premeditated noone chose this,
serpent's eyes pair of dice, took a chance no paradise.
I had my chance at life, but I rolled serpent's eyes, and your heart ripped in two.
Why did I end up starving and you got the garden,
That fruit was the start of, the death of me too,
It's like no one was planning, but I got war and famine,
That's just what I was, what I was born into,
If you break every fetter,
then I can make it better,
that's what you have called me to do
Took a chance no paradise

Pretend Identity:
Why would I give you authenticity, when everybody else is playing fakery?
Why would I ever let me be me when this mask fits so conveniently?
You'll never steal anything from me, because it's a pretend identity,
You'll never steal anything from me, because it's a pretend identity,
So you wear a mask,
But is it up to the task, of constantly hiding what you think you're holding back,
The irrational flack,
Crippling fear of inner lack,
Is the flame suffocating behind unnecessary glass

A Rather Blustery Day:
Thanks for the warning,
but I'll enjoy my morning,
It's just a little breeze, just another story,
I'm an expert at hoarding,
Traffic jams are boring,
It's just a little breeze, just another story,
Everyone else on my street is gone,
Tire tracks run through my lawn,
Try to throw me off course, It'll be your loss,
Windows are shattering, all hail is pitter-pattering,
There's an upside-down pickup truck inside my living room,
The animals are scattering, nothing I do is mattering,
Not sure what pierced my $300 boots,
If you find this recording,
Thanks for the warning,
but It was just a little breeze, just another story,
It's just a little breeze, just another story
It's just a little breeze, just another story

Resisted:
The problem gets fixed, but it's not perfect,
Somebody knew he existed, faced the bullet, but they resisted

Rust and Rubble:
Needles let their voice extend for the branches,
begging the wind not to rip them away,
Rust and rubble cheer for the plain warrant sung by new voices,
twelve months of peace sun unblemished, sung by new voices,
Circling
Lime sky and punctuation watch the disintegration of the children's hopes and fears
slain just under the coast. Trash what they want most
Rust and rubble cheer for the plain warrant sung by new voices,
twelve months of peace sun unblemished, sung by new voices,
Circling wandering feet.

We miss the cold shackles
To be a slave and eat
Or starve to death but free
We walked upon dry ground
Without cuffs, not anchored down
We saw death claim the crown
Irrational, typical
Panicked, predictable
Ok, a tabernacle, but first another viscous cycle.

Six Feet:
One day I just stopped breathing,
Now I am in the ground,
I died completely empty,
Now I don’t make a sound,
My friends, they all died with me,
But they can’t touch me now,
I’ve always been asleep,
But now I’m really buried,
This really is 6 feet,
And now the darkness scares me,
My body is a seed,
But I am still contagious,
Death has been my disease,
We let the dirt erase us,
My friends, they all died with me,
But they can’t touch me now.

Shanty:
Tainted words from unattainable lips
The sunken saints faint, cursed on crooked ships
We cast our nets, put our anchors down
We built our nest in a shanty town
We fashioned shanks from hand me downs
We all gave thanks, took a look around
Those blades drew blood and the wounds were round
We built our fires from the ground up
We burned those boats, used what we could
Can’t be too careful in this broken neck of the woods.

So I Says to Mabel I Says:
I’m just a local, with no ulterior motive
Just disfigured and broken
Maybe the neighbors think that I’m crazy
Maybe I am, but baby that won’t change me
I don’t need anybody to save me
Like any man I would, defend the neighborhood
You all misunderstood
Viscous militia on my front porch and
They’re armed to the teeth with pitchforks and torches
Demanding answers, frightened, righteous
Justice cuss words, fragile, pious
I’ve got nothing to give them
I’m just a local, with no ulterior motive
Just disfigured and broken
Maybe the neighbors think that I’m crazy
Maybe I am, but baby that won’t change me
I don’t need anybody to save me

Justice cuss words, fragile, pious

The Starving Portal:
I try to hear assurance cut through, all the hate and abuse, am I worth a sweet breath or two?
On a forgotten bench, puzzled by their intent, they can’t take your memories away,
I have nothing left but the images in my head,
We fled for safety but found wolves instead,
We’re in their den, held, but not held like kin,
Widows and orphans, we’re starving again,

Stunt Double:
Through It:
So brave in our heads,
We took off through the desert
We were found half dead
Filthy, broken, pieces missing
There was a sound, it was heaven
Fitly spoken, but we weren’t listening
Are these our graves or our beds?
Tell me, what’s your pleasure
Is all this bread unleavened?
Thirsty, hungry, begging, wishing

A Terrible Tantrum:
Inside is a stigma of belief and unbelief
Solely enough, am I holy enough
I will ride this to the brink
Held hostage to these thoughts
What have I lost, what’s become of me
This knife is mine, so I draw the line
and crawl back inside my dream
Shoulders back, head high, one knee, a terrible sign,
bolder hacks, eyes live, sun screams, a tantrum dive,
Inside is a stigma of belief and unbelief
Solely enough, am I holy enough
I will ride this to the brink
Back inside my dream
Inside is a stigma of belief and unbelief
Solely enough, am I holy enough

Held hostage to these thoughts
What have I lost, what’s become of me

Shoulders back, head high, one knee, a terrible sign,
bolder hacks, eyes live, sun screams, a tantrum dive,

Solely enough, am I holy enough
I will ride this to the brink
Back inside my dream
Terror Signal:
I scared my brother to death,
I do it every night,
I’ll admit I’m a little obsessed,
So I run for my life,
You can hear the fury, blaring through the stereo,
Hurried and worried, screaming through the area,
Shocked and shattered, shallow,
Trapped in tragedy, it’s terrible,
It’s what makes me who I am,
Why is it so unbearable,
Terror signal
We no longer have value,
No where we can run to,
Dependable died, I'm shaking I'm terrified.
Terror signal
Yeah, yeah

Truth Before Doctrine:
Unsteady mind, lunging forward, views clash, gates opened, Force Fed, warped doctrine, bypass connection,With a broken man, and a broken song, Calf created, unsurrendered, Mirrored reflections find, the blotted out sunshine, these feeble children blind, blurred and crusted light, the purpose undermined, these feeble children blind, these children blind. They bend the truth like a bow, Release distorted arrows, At any heart that questions, the golden growing hoard, and verity unspoken. The pages blaze with your pen, Blister the way pointing hand, The message is hidden again, Instead of restoration,

Tttt:
Unearned compliments, unearned money spent, usher in the cold, yeah you killed the culture, you killed the culture, you killed the culture, you killed it,
Go to sleep now pretty babies, Are you dreaming? or are you sinking?

We Don't Sleep Well:
Suspicious of the towering inferno for the people
Drugged the flock, but not content to let us tweak under the steeple
A melody provided by the sheep that didn’t sing well
On a mission, we don’t mind it
It’s decided, we’re divided
We devour all but evil, all the violence
We don’t sleep well
Fame, vanished, just a headless apparition
Brandishing the faded blade of cost, of lost tradition
Suspicious of the towering inferno for the people

What Happened Today?:
I could pray you through, Could you pray for me too?
This is a sad serenade, that trumpet blasted my pain, light's beginning to fade now,
Not here for the mess that I've made, crumpled, crashed and unchained, what a meager display now,
You disappeared from my view,
And all my hope vanished too, without you.

What You're Into:
Wilderness Folly:
Seeing the world from here brought out your smile, I have no doubt it fueled your inner child, I know you’d say oh please don’t come back here, but I needed to face my fear, dear. About this time 3 years ago, you slipped from this spot and you headed home, I finally got the courage to release your remains, I didn’t realize my fate would be the same, I blame the rain.
I'll see you soon.

"Where You Are"
Where are you, on the side of the road with nowhere to go, but on
Here I am, desperately searching
Sold me the fear, I was deserving
They were at ease, it was disturbing
Lost in a panic, oh, I can’t stand it
Soaked to the bone, just like you planned it
where are you, I'm so far from home, thirsty and broken,
Where are you, on the side of the road with nowhere to go, but on

where are you, I'm so far from home, thirsty and broken,
Where are you, on the side of the road with nowhere to go, but on
