I have the answer It’s been engraved into these hands You were the least of these But worth the suffering And I I am the reason The truth that’s bound by blood and book is in my scars Don’t turn away Open up your eyes and let me in I am the breath you are the suffocating Don’t Don’t give in You’ve been this way for far too long I am the breath you are the suffocating You can’t deny me I am the way truth and the life No one comes Home without me Take your cross Walking tall Your life lost Gain it all Don’t turn away Open up your eyes and let me in I am the breath you are the suffocating Don’t Don’t give in You’ve been this way for far too long I am the breath you are the suffocating I am your comfort I am your peace I am the one Who conquered death Don’t turn away Open up your eyes and let me in I am the breath you are the suffocating Don’t Don’t give in You’ve been this way for far too long I am the breath you are the suffocating

Sew Me Shut 02:39
Oh No, It’s happening again But this time the image way to vivid From the rooftops or from the hollows of the earth My flaws and failures illuminate the night Im coming undone Im coming undone Then I hear the voice of peace And I watch the pieces come to life Put me together sew me shut I would not wish for this I will not live through this Put me together sew me shut You don’t see through me You see into me You don’t see through me You see into me Sew me shut Sew me shut Sew me shut Sew me shut Then I hear the voice of peace And I watch the pieces come to life Put me together sew me shut Then open me again

I know I’ve been here These broken faces too familiar Everything I know Will be cast away Bring me to life once again I am not breathing anymore The light is fading out No longer safe and sound My eyes are closed My hands are tied I’m not the man I was before Now I am Face to face with death Good God, I’m here again I’ve made a mistake These things I thought were mine Have come to an end Bring me to life once again I am not breathing anymore The light is fading out No longer safe and sound My eyes are closed My hands are tied I’m not the man I was before I’m not the man I was before I’m not the man I was before I walk by faith and not by sight You gave me life I walk by faith and not by sight You gave me life

Iron Lung 03:28
I’ve been living with an iron lung Artificial is the air I breathe In realizing what I’ve become I’m seeing here there is nothing for me And as I fall to my knees I’ll pray for rain Come back to me No comfort No sanctuary I’ve been treading on this hallowed ground These crooked lines that I’ve drawn so well Losing balance as I face the swell Hold my breath as I wait for change Drag me down I’ll brace myself for the rain And as I fall to my knees I’ll pray for rain Come back to me Drag me down I’ll brace myself Drag me down I’ll brace myself for the rain No comfort No sanctuary I’ve been living with an iron lung Artificial is the air I breathe Drag me down I’ll brace myself for the rain

I start the day by closing my eyes hoping That one day I’ll change the hand they’ve dealt me Am I predestined? Do I have a say? What about me? What about me? I built this house of cards On a pillar of sand And now the wind is picking up As I watch the tide roll in When did I lose my sight I see now, I’m alone I need to find a way back I’ve built me up Please break me down I’ve built me up Please break me down We are the broken ones Everything I’ve built Will come fluttering down Scattered amongst the ashes of the dreams I had Enjoy the weightlessness on the way down Right now it’s all you have I built this house of cards On a pillar of sand And the wind is picking up As I watch the tide roll in I’ve built me up Please break me down I’ve built me up Please break me down Everything I’ve built Will come fluttering down Scattered amongst the ashes of the dreams I had We are the blind leading the blind Stumbling through this nightmare

Speak 02:40
Peace Its such a quiet notion You gave it to me but then I through it away If this was my last chance I’d let my fear get in the way Erase my Confusion Show me your face I know myself to well To let this SLIP THROUGH MY FINGER TIPS Come On! Im just a fragment of a story written way before If every word I wrote could set the scenery Maybe then I’d win this war The fear is palpable I can taste it from here As my eyes start to open Speak I’m an open book So tear a page out of me You know you’ve done this before Erase my Confusion Show me your face I know myself to well To let this SLIP THROUGH MY FINGER TIPS Speak Speak Speak Speak I am the battle I am the war

The Ocean 04:46
I’ve lost all sight of the shore Now the sea becomes my lungs No memory Just the man that I've become Raise the mast We ride the winds No anchor to Hold me down Then why am I Sinking like a stone Oh, my captain What of before Dreaming of a home Take a step Forth unknown Walk upon the dry land of the shore Such a vivid mind, Oh, the shore I’ve left behind I see the signs of a storm But these waters speak of lies No answer in reply Just the silence I've left behind Oh captain My captain I ask why Oh captain My captain Oh captain why I yearn for more Just, take, a breath Oh, my captain What of before Dreaming of a home Take a step Forth unknown Walk upon the dry land of the shore Oh Captain, My Captain I ask You why Oh Captain, My Captain I ask You why Just a feat of passion No time to deny Oh Father of mine Take me to your shores Captain oh captain Oh take me home Oh captain my captain Take me home My captain, my captain, oh… I was blind A course you have defined Raise the mast ride the wind Set the sails and take me home

Collapse 02:28
These walls are closing in I can feel the room start to take on life new sense just breaking in I feel the rest just fall apart No hope for hopelessness Try to take a breath but no sense to try No hope for hopeless man, no sense to take a life No room to breathe I can feel the pressure building No room for this Only walls collapsing Collapse, collapse, collapse The walls are closing in No you can't Take this from me No you can't Take this from me No you can't Take this from me No you can't Take this No hope for hopeless me, No sense to take a life No room to breathe I feel my body start to rot I've killed the best of me Now that's my only fault What to do with the rest of me I feel my body start to… Again I break I break into something Again I break I break into something else Rebuild Rebuild, rebuilding me Rebuild Rebuild, Rebuilding I’ll be made anew I can feel the pressure building No room for this Only walls collapsing Collapse

Claw&Fang 02:52
Hey Red Riding you’ve lost your way Lost your way Lost your way Have all your friends grown claw and fang? They’re not the same Not the same This forest full of killers and thieves Check the dark Check the trees What do you see? What do you see? Fire! Fire! Fire! Stay the path No regrets With loss like this you’re going to need your neck Stay the path Stay the path Stay the path Stay the path Hey Red Riding you’ve lost your way Lost your way Lost your way Have all your friends grown claw and fang? They’re not the same Not the same Stay the path Hold your breath With loss like this you’re going to need your neck Stay the path Hold your breath With loss like this you’re going to need your neck Stay the path Stay. The. Path. Stay the path Fire! Fire! Stay the path (x8)

Azrael 04:55
The time has come for you to leave this place Leave this life behind Leave it all behind The coldest hands A friend to guide your way back home Leave this life behind Leave it all behind Your last shall be your first step In this time from beginning to end No need for reflection Your first step, new life to begin No need for regret Old friend of mine can you take me? Can you take me home tonight? Can I trust you? Good friend of mine don’t leave me Don’t leave me here tonight I trust you now don’t let go Take your time Take your time I have come to deliver you from suffering So open up the skies and let the light flow in As you take your final breaths Don’t be afraid this is only the beginning Leave this life behind Leave it all behind Old friend of mine can you take me? Can you take me home tonight? Can I trust you? Good friend of mine don’t leave me Don’t leave me here tonight I trust you now don’t let go Close your eyes.
