pure life 04:01
Pure life. Will we awake to see the coming day? Violent, Violence Will we forget the hands of surrender? I can't breathe, I can't breathe Unheard language Protests, Riots Will we awake to see the coming day? Violent, Violence Are we a nation of sheep ruled by wolves owned by pigs? Have we been lead to slaughter? Will we awake? When the wall collapse Will freedom cheer? Will freedom cheer? Will we awake? Will we awake to see the coming day? Violent Violence

gaze 04:15
Gaze. Restore your faith Sink into me Prying eyes don’t see Can you tell the difference between devotion and desire? Can you tell the difference between worship and bigotry? Restore your faith Sink into me Prying eyes, don't see Is equality ungodliness? Is bigotry righteousness? Is equality ungodliness? Restore your faith Sink into me Prying eyes, don't see Prying eyes, don't see I don't want to be here Why do I stay here? When will this be over? Will this ever be over? I don't want to be me I just want to be free

hollow 07:58
Hollow. How does it feel? To be stagnant? How does it feel? To be relinquished? Hollow, unfulfilled No canvas, no paint to smear Shadowed by fear Is this the wrong way to steer? I can hear in your cries, I can see it in your eyes, I can hear in your cries (your cries) How long will it take? To be at the bottom? Entrench within the bottle Am I dying of thirst? How long will it you wait? To bear real love? Eternity? Some say Eternity? Some say Can we, will we, Rebuild? How does it feel? To be the rose that grows from concrete never to blossom? Curses bestowed, blessings concealed Nothing is sacred Have these bonds ruptured like levees? Cascading, emptiness What can subdue this pain? Self-medication; spirits delve to find where the heart used to be We seek no gods, no masters only the heavens Is this where we want to be? Lost in a dream Lingering for real love to lie beside us? And set us free Will we find a place of our own? Must we learn to be alone? We can. We will. Rebuild.

Fragile ceilings. All we know All we know is failure All we know All we know is failure All we know All we know is failure All we know All we know is failure Can we sustain our house of sand? Dainty walls, fragile ceilings Crumble in Damaged homes, fractured souls Abandoned hearts, abandoned hearts Have we been left in the lurch? All we know All we know is failure All we know Nothing lasts forever All we know All we know is failure All we know Nothing lasts forever I feel upon my knees I feel upon my knees I feel upon my knees I feel upon my knees

st. francois 07:50
St. Francois. Hanging from the trees Hanging from the trees Hanging from the trees Hanging from the trees But we'll never stay I love it when we feel this way Look into the air Hazy skies over neither We saw deer in the night Look into the air Hazy skies over neither Is this what we left our home for? We were gone for days found a quiet place Rained all day beside the interstate hanging from the trees but we would never stay Staring into the heavens Staring into the heavens With tired eyes, tired minds, tired souls All of sudden we miss All of sudden we miss ...the gleaming blackness The moon is down The moon is down Have we passed through this night?

house ghost 04:31
House Ghost. Our darkest fear now haunts us all Are we losing sleep? Will these wounds remain? Can we evolve? Can we evolve? Our darkest fear now haunts us all Can we evolve? Can we evolve? Have you evacuated this vessel? Did you leave it all behind? The picture framed that beholds your name "you are always with us" (you are always with us) Do you watch us roam the room from your view? Did you mutter words only to utter nothing too? Have you come now to sleep? Have you made contact in our dreams? Does every night feel the same? Does every night feel the same? Our darkest fear now haunts us all Are we losing sleep? Will these wounds remain? Can we evolve? Can we evolve? Our darkest fear now haunts us all Can we evolve? Can we evolve? You may be departed, but I still carry you around I still carry you around

be still 04:56
Be Still. Am I the glorious? Awake my soul, after the storm and roll away your stones When the dog days over Can you hear "the blue eyed devil" yearn? Howling, howling Was I lost but now am I found? Was I lost but now am I... Blind but now I see now I see now I see Blind but now I see now i see now I see now I Am I the glorious? Awake my soul, after the storm be still. be still. be still. be still. be still. be still. be still. (x2) How do you except me to be still...naked and afraid? How can I know you are the sun that illuminates our faces? Exalted are you? Have the nations elevated your name? Gentrified, victimized Will there be a better tomorrow? If so who can we run to? Have the chickens come home to roost? Are we chasing pavements or fool's gold? Was I lost but now am I found? Was I lost but now am I... Blind but now I see has the season come to harvest? Blind but now I see are unconditional words written? Blind but now I see does every loss rest with the seeds of growth? Blind but now I see am I eminent in the earth? Settle at ease Supreme Where do we go when we need some release?
