Long Line 03:59
Keep me on your long line Choking now the rope is tight Forfeit to your bleeding shrine Furrowed to the rippled eye All, found, needed Form, found, fixtures The deprevated forces How long has it been I stumbled on this tightrope Bear witness to the mountain fall Humbled by the words you spoke Wounded by the lines you wrote Torn, found bleeding The captivating strictures The castigating fortress Will hold me, no more No more
2.
This fire, still burning Autumn leaves fall to the ground This fire, still yearning A feather, it's crashing down And your flowers, and your roses No longer in bloom The pretty garden that you loved Was taken down way to soon Take these seeds Wave your magic and just sow You're still beautiful Just grow your own These clouds, still turning It's been barren for too long now This rain, it's returning It fuels the earth, while we've been down

Pages 04:50
And these white lines, have been the fall of many men But I'll follow them, 'till I fall down, on my knees It's not a sickness or a disease that I hold dear It's just feet that would carry me away And these dark roads, are all I need And the places of which I've laid Would rival the explorers of old And make the storyteller, turn the page But there's never any forfeit, when it comes to something better You're never lost, 'till you've won, something more So bury me at the grand age of 21 These eyes have seen more than they can hold And when it's pages, we can read for another time But the characters are left between the lines half read and unfinished, will the hero ever be the victor Or just left, on the shelf with folded page So close your curtains as I walk by And avert your eyes from places of which I've laid 'cause the explorer, never sees me cry And the storyteller, no more, will turn that page
4.
What if tomorrow, feels like yesterday What if tomorrow, feels just the same Into tomorrow, the time keeps ticking on down Into tomorrow, don't regret all the things you missed out 'cause I know now, 'bout living without The only chance you get is one So make it count If tomorrow never comes I'm gonna be stronger and move the rocks that block my path I'm gonna go faster and grab the chances that I missed I'm gonna climb higher and scale the heights that I couldn't quite reach I'm gonna shine brighter, through the dark there's no need to be meek So what if tomorrow, tomorrow never comes What if tomorrow, I'm just a memory of all I've done 'cause everybody dies, it's only a matter of time So everybody smile, 'cause you can do what you want with your life

From ashes to altar Across the evening tide Broken skies may now falter To bury your pride Though the feeling is hopeless It's not all that it seems Take my hand and I'll show you How to sow a brand new seed One day this nightmare will be a dream All those cowboys and cowards Lying, shattered in their pain Whispered lies have now gathered To drag you through their shame Oh, I know that you're weary And tired of their deceit Take the burden of this moment And share the weight with me One day this nightmare will be a dream
6.
Moving On 03:37
To be left between the forfeit And the furrows beyond the pale To be caught between the cadence And the sadness of a minor scale Carry me to water's edge The wind's too far to fall Follow me in perfect tense I'll give to you my all And I can feel you move I can feel your wounds And I can hear the soothing tones And I can say the truth It's all now up to you But I can see you moving on To be left between the footsteps And the hollow of a rootless tree To be lost among the faulted And this tide of memory Carry me to winters edge The helm's to hard to hold Follow me with no pretense I'll lead this light back home
7.
Come as you are Fall from the morning star And let your fears begin to fade Call from afar Ode to the past So let your light now be your shade Looking through the mirror It's hiding from you now The hole's a little deeper So hold on and don't look down Seems a little clearer You know you've come so far Be proud of where you've come from And be loved for who you are Loved for who you Loved for who you are Be proud of where you've come from And be loved for who you are End now the war Bring down the city walls And let your light now keep you safe Back to the start Blaze through this sombre heart So let your fire be your embrace
8.
And I, feel the fire And I, feel the flames And I, feel so tired And I, feel the shame Got a whole bag of blame It's calling my name I'm fighting again These monsters to blame Now winter's long gone And I'm starting to thaw And finding my way So don't Don't Fan the Flames
9.
I can't find the words to say The colour's dark it's all been drained The only spark, the silent scars of your truth And I can't bring you back from the shame The angers out, it permeates The tie that binds The rainbow skies To my youth I sing along with you I can't look the other way This bitter fire it resonates This sovereign heart It's a world apart; from truth And I can't bring you back from the pain The colours rise from ashen grey From covered cries To the rainbow skies That you choose I sing along with you I know what you've been thinking What's wrong with me They took the best I had The rest you can have for free
10.
Rest Now 03:35
Rest now my children These walls are now your own The stars they shine around you And light your new found home See the fire in the moon it rises On old forgotten lands Draw back the curtain On old familiar sands When you're lost among the echoes We'll teach you how to breath Rest now my children It's safe to dream
