Silence/Dark 02:47
been alone in silence and the dark you and I we finally fell apart our hopes and fears now cast into the sea darkness, the void, eternity you are lost hesitant I said my final plea loving you has never been kind to me boxing up the past in hopes of finding light a lighter load a brighter bright the brightest in this darkest night you are lost but I have been founddsddd
2.
Aisles 03:53
caught, in the aisle, sifting through your shame feel, my denial, no glance to heal the pain for I am a man who walks alone am a man who needs no one time has lost its plot on me but I know where I come from speak, in a language, no words to take away touch, inner anguish, the heart full lead astray for I am a man whose been left out full of pity and self doubt time has lost its plot on me but I know where I come from
3.
Burn It Down 03:48
lost in my own mind of space and time thoughts of being you in red and blue if life were just a dream end time, new scene lost within your eyes, panicking inside spiraling, dancing, burn it down we will learn to fly, i need to learn fly spiraling, dancing, burn it down just open up your arms lets take off for a dive spiraling, dancing, burn it down all the colors grow, swiftly they slow day is growing dim, no time, the end
4.
there is always, another way to say the words you spew there’s always a better way let grace and peace, be our guide walk in the truth of love love will never die, never die get back, step back into reality my friend all we have is one another in the end to love so deeply we must look through all our tears cause only love can drive out fear the richness of standing with those in pain plants seeds of forgiveness and love to sustain, sustain life is full of disappointment but your not full of disappointment you were made for more than this moment you find yourself in we are called to tear down walls to build a better future together now
5.
Step Back 03:17
one step back baby why can’t you seem to see ok two steps back maybe I ain’t where I oughta be but what’s the point of living and what’s to stop me from where I want to be three steps back mama said you should come home to me it’s four steps back and i’m starting to finally believe but what’s the point of living and what’s to stop me from where I want to be five steps back and the course is beginning to hold ok six steps back and it’s clear that i’ll never find home but what’s the point of living and what’s to stop me from where I want to be broke but the dream’s alive changes but i choose to survive
6.
Time Is Lost 03:02
if I go tired of hearing no the lights have all gone dim searching slow watching and waiting though all time has been lost on we the look found in those eyes was plain to see my demise as hard as I did try was plain to see my demise now I must go will you please let me go
7.
Come My Love 04:34
come my love come my love and slow down away my love away my love for I will always love you I will always I will always love you gone my love gone my love where eyes no longer see you I will always I will always I will always love you in dreams and visions I always see you my words fall short and never reach you I die my heart can’t take it when I can’t see you your sweet fragrance I still do taste you I die
8.
London Town 03:35
walking searching pacing but not breathing wishing longing waiting but not sinking why won’t you just leave if I’m wrong for I am unable to be strong running (these streets are made of death) looking (round corners for your soul) waking (to the fate your choices have dealt this long night) see you (I see you in my dreams) touch you (in the places so unseen) feel you (like I felt you that one night in London town) why won’t you just leave if I’m wrong for I am unable to be strong why won’t you just leave if I’m wrong for I am unable to be strong, now it’s all wrong i’ve been wondering if i’m sinking wonder if i’m drowning wonder if I’m thinking of other ways to go
