I Have The Answer

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

Too Many Times Before
03:50

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

Decay:Decline

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

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

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)

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.
