Past Lives 04:15
Look behind the paths we shared For memories so few and proud Closer now to the falling edge Slipping further down Losing ground in the fight we've made Promises we've held These past lives They hold us down But we'll find our way Search for the lines That call out and beg for clarity The lines we draw, through sand and time That call out for certainty Behind each heart is a failing love Fading further and further down These old bones of our wasted years Feeling closer now The lives we lost and gave away Our youth is dead and gone These past lives They hold us down But we'll find our way Search for the lines That call out and beg for clarity The lines we draw, through sand and time That call out for certainty

Small Hours 04:25
Deep in the quiet now Stillness all around Holding on Can't move in the dark Night that holds me down And never looks back Reach for a hand to grasp Just to find the lies That we've held tight Our hearts are failing in the light Our dreams are dying with our pride We push through to make through the night Our hearts are failing in the light Our dreams are dying with our pride We suffer through empty eyes Walk through the dust and pain To close our hearts again And wipe away heartache Wait for the morning to come To fight the night again To wipe away the heartache Our hearts are failing in the light Our dreams are dying with our pride We push through to make through the night Our hearts are failing in the light Our dreams are dying with our pride We suffer through empty eyes We close our eyes and push through To find the light Our hearts are failing in the light Our dreams are dying with our pride We push through to make through the night Our hearts are failing in the light Our dreams are dying with our pride We suffer through empty eyes

Lanterns 04:07
Let the air sink in To find the cracks between Our future and the end Forever slowing now Always moving Never showing where the shadows hide Always moving Never showing where the shadows hide These lives Like lanterns in the night Lighting up the skies To take us home again A weight that fills the room And holds with heavy hands The burdens crash beneath And watch us patiently Always waiting, never knowing How this will end These lives Like lanterns in the night Lighting up the skies To take us home again We will follow, the paths that lead us home We will follow These lives Like lanterns in the night Lighting up the skies To take us home again

Out of Focus 04:59
I've fallen on this sword so many times That I've lost count It's all we know What's one more? Your broken bones won't let me go They're all we know That's something Our misspent lives Become the roads we leave behind us It's all we know We fall down The lines that mark our faces fade To dust we fall It's all we know We reach for fools and for comfort Falling through the darkness It's all we know We hold on

The After 03:48
Pick my heart off the floor It's broken but we've been here before I listen to that worn out tape To hear the way I feel tonight Close my eyes cross the line It's cold But I'm on my way We ran out of time Drifting through the fighting Buried by goodbyes Underneath the after The after won't mind A slow and steady call Is comfort in these moments As our song nears the end We'll be fine, we'll start again I open my eyes one last time and it's cold And I'm on my way We ran out of time Drifting through the fighting Buried by goodbyes Underneath the after The after won't mind

Underneath 04:17
Covered in the hurt, it shows Fight to breathe the pain it grows But we pretend That we are the nothing Underneath the always and forever Opened at the broken seams I've given every thing It's lying on the floor We are the nothing Underneath and upside down Covered in the hurt it shows That we are the nothing The nothing but we pretend Pull away from the other side To fall through broken skies And embrace the dark
7.
Floods 03:58
Ripping through the cover That moves among the dark A broken whisper for others Who knew it from the start If we could be the last lovers tangled in forever Failing to become one My dear a clever parting glance Placing blame beneath us You knew we'd never stand a chance If we could be the last lovers tangled in forever
