Stand Alone 03:30
One look at those eyes And the feeling starts tearing me alive You're the muse in the back of my mind A steady pulse of the slightest kind And I don't mean to pry But there's something about the step in your surprise Makes me wonder how I ever lead the lie Still the enemy is by my side I could stand alone In the tides' surrounding glow From the moment I lose my hold I could stand alone Your beauty leads where my heart will go A soft surrender while the madness grows Do you see those stars? Are they begging you to find a way to stay Are they listening to every word you say Cause you're the voice of the clearest day And I will lay to waste Any doubt that has held me in the weight Of the years that I had no will to break Through the fears that I could not face And I could stand alone In the tides' surrounding glow From the moment I lose my hold I could stand alone Your beauty leads where my heart will go A soft surrender while the madness grows
2.
All I See 03:35
Lying wide awake I stare right through the stone Recounting blow by blow Too cautious of the call I stagger down below To the unknown And all I see All I see Is the crest of the wave Staring at me All I see All I see Is starting to fade Just a moment too late The night grows darker still Darker by the hour These stars they never rest For now I'll do no wrong I'm worthy of the test Should I confess And though I find myself Too common to the thread I'll try to find an end To these thoughts that have no past Alone they find their way To me at last
3.
I'm running away Gone like the others I've lost my way I can't help myself Just running away Gone till the end My minds been made I'm going to where it's safe Where there's no more sound No more sound If we all could break through the seams Thrown in the fire, we would grow To borrow the calm, single fading flame Like night into day, we would shine One by one But there's no more sound No more sound Well there's no more sound No more sound
4.
It's raining in the sea Stop holding onto fear If everything was calm This world should disappear So let me turn the page Inside out When night begins to gain You seem to be yourself And I'll be alright Might as well see light I'll be alright Might as well see light Might as well see light anyway So close your eyes Close your eyes And sink into the snow Sink into the snow Just sink... And I'll be alright Might as well see light I'll be alright Might as well see light Might as well see light anyway So rock yourself to sleep You're in a slow new world Where you cannot be seen You cannot be heard
5.
Let's take a walk I can hardly wait Will you keep me guessing When you make your escape? And like you planned The static starts to break So will the ceilings crumble When you finally awake? I will never know I will never know A blind display Set in your disguise So ready to follow When the moment arrives And all the while The silence takes it's toll So will you sing us your story? Will you learn to let go? I will never know I will never know

Home 03:46
9.
Back and forth Face to face Our fears brought us to this place I know And what one gives One takes away And I never had the chance to say What's wrong Back and forth Here we lie caught between this staggered pride We hold But in comes love And with it's sound All the walls come crashing down And any anger in our way Disappears in the sway Of your full embrace
10.
The Sinner 04:29
You're just a sinner waiting for the saints to lie You can try all you want but you'll never survive Honestly tears at your side can't you feel the pain? Or do you just laugh it away, for now? Oh, and the leaves are falling down These leaves are falling down Still my conscience slides whenever you're around If you could go back in time just to be the prey Would you follow those footsteps would you know what it takes? Down in the dirt I do hope you'll find a better way A better way you can fight through this lonely fragile fate Oh, and the leaves are falling down These leaves are falling down Still my conscience slides whenever you're around
11.
Time to Wait 05:18
Underneath the light of day I've come so close to find a way To hide beneath the growing shade But I will look the other way Ignore the mischief that you've made Until the anger in you fades I've got time Time to wait I've got time Time to wait You are true you sting my heart You're that truth I've never fought Despite the wounds and life I've lost And any time you call my name I'll be sure to do the same Our luck will somehow lead the way I've got time Time to wait I've got time Time to wait We've got time Time to wait We've got time Time to wait
