The Fog

Oh, a light
A shimmer in the night
The savior for a vessel bound to die
Cling, to life
Before we’re out of time
I know we won’t go down without a fight
There’s no clarity or company for the lonely ones
This heart and soul
50 sailors move as one
Wind bites the sails
As the world comes undone
Dreaming in a scentless haze
As the world comes undone
Undulate through testing times
Uncertain and doubting beliefs of
Devotion shared collectively
Soon comes the dissipating phase
Shining like the sun in all its ways
Sail under the sun rays
Illuminating future days
Absorb and breath in the vapor
Drift along in the fog
So far into the gray layer
So lost in it all
An anchor I’ll find
Sail toward the light
Can you save me from the tides?
Oh, a light
A shimmer in the night
Cast away the anchors and glide
Cling to life
Before it’s out of sight
I’ve found all that I need to stay alive

As We Run
04:15
|
|

The pleasure's mine
Just tell me, what’s your story?
Perhaps a petty fight (is keeping you awake at night)
Or skeletons that linger, terrorize
For me it’s what I used to know
Where doors are closed and now they’re locked tight
Run away from this enduring tragedy
Girl, take my hand and I will follow
A town so bruised and battered, egos shattered
Where demons hide in trees that shade the light
Run away from this enduring tragedy
Girl, take my hand and lead the way
We'll chase the morning sun
Just tell me what we’re running from
And we won’t turn back
A tale of irony
That only ends in misery
Dressed so seductively
I couldn’t take my eyes away (I had to stay)
The more we run
The more we come undone
As we run
We only come undone
This irresponsibility
Scripted by our destiny
Our hands are bound
But only for the night
Is this meant to be?
The clock says temporarily
We flee this scene
And circle to the start
(We feel it as we run)
(Our hearts escape as one)

Why, Oh Why
03:24
|
|

You’ve had your look
Now baby see for yourself
It would suffice it to say that you’re hooked
You don’t need nobody else it looks like I came at just the right time
Now I may believe in fate
Though it’s taken plenty away
Providing me all of the proof
By leading me to you
Now the sun is shining through
Long blades of golden wild grass
And all the colors of my heart were scattered across the sky
Oh, how colors rework
From your painters brush to to my awaiting eye
I want you by my side
Need you for tonight
Baby, why, oh why?
I want you by my side
Need you for tonight
The look that's on your face
Makes it worth the wait
The only consequence is
Tainted innocence

We're Alright
04:26

See the moon
Vulnerable and in view
Eyes so glued, they hardly move
The start of something new
I’m not saying that I’m caught on the line
But I’m not saying that I don’t feel something
If you’re still awake at the end of the night
That’s your way of saying everything’s alright
When these sparks subside
Will this fire die?
Will our flames be burning steady?
Shouted from up high
When we realize
That we were more than ready
All along I had you wrapped between my fingers baby
Don’t you know I was kind of overthinking this
And we were on the same flight
Headed to the west side
We were in a maze
Avoiding the familiar
We were right on time
The light that opened my life
Mesmerized by a pair of hazel eyes

Let Go
05:33
|
|
||
Two souls illuminate
In sheer disinclination
Can both reciprocate the light?
Still they radiate
Inescapably bright
Reflecting one another
Look in my eyes
See fate materialize
As chains which left you afraid
They wither and decay
On the wings of reluctancy
We crash and burn
Turn hesitation into release
And just let go
It’s pouring in paradise
But the California sun shines through
This winter water’s bitter
But I’ll bear it for you
For tonight, regrets won’t survive
One by one, they’re carried away
With a dose of reality
Will elation survive?
An indication of what could be
Destroyed in time
Place your hands in mine
By the oceanside
We’ll sway side to side
And forget about all that we’ve lost
Hold me close
We’ll pretend that we’re both not insane
I’ll lose myself in another
This fear will not remain
On the brink of maturity
With courage to grow
I’ll take this strange new audacity
I won’t let go

Alone at the bar, but there’s room for two
Anchored to a memory of the fall of autumn
Trust only lies in a glass half empty
Fueling the fire, igniting desire
Inhale the energy
In control, just sit and breathe
Until the end of the line
I’m getting stronger in time
To destroy the boundaries in my mind
Moving toward the feeling I’m after
And I’m moving faster, faster
Fly again, again and again
Higher
Inhale the energy
Control’s a memory
At the end of the line
Almost out of time
Can you help me fuel the fire inside?
Red skies bleed into blue
You’re hiding from reality
And I won’t stop you
Come down and coalesce
We’ll conquer the demons
Inside of my head
Torn between an anchor and the shore
I’m losing my breath
As they pull to the death
It’s a war
Can you love the broken part of me?
Can you find any good inside, in the sin inside of me?
Self-fulfilled but hanging on the wall
Occupy them all, ready for the fall
Can we mobilize ourselves?
All these years we’ve been lying to ourselves
Conscious of the fact materials extract
Leaving poison in our veins

Gray (feat. Gabe Wolf)
05:42
|
|

My means have lead my to my end
Memorizing what to speak and who to be
Your days are spent trying to find life again
Now my hope is gone
Faith don’t lead me on
Stuck with no roads left and no reason to carry on
Power is what power holds
And I’m grasping for control
You smile through deception like no one knows
You leave the impression that its a gray world
Time will test my stability
The sensation that’s killing me
Now submission has taken its toll
On my body, my spirit, my soul
Your blackened heart
Met my changing skies
The world can see
The gray in these eyes
I give in
I’m powerless

Parallel
04:47

|

I’m staying up just to hear you call
Baby when will your frozen heart thaw?
Have I lost her? Will I endure?
I’ll dwindle for sure
Caught in the sky
Our parallel lives at the right time
We were brought from the sky
Our parallel lives
No this won’t be the last time
So I’ll take my time
Lessening haste
And with each embrace
I was caught in the sky
By parallel lives
Brought by the sky
We live parallel lives
Now I'm caught in the sky
Our parallel lives
Oh, but why?
Why did it die?
No time for regret
Or to forget
When you love something just let it go
Now time passes by
Our parallel lives
We'll beat the time (Yeah there'll come a time)
We live parallel lives
We'll be caught in the sky
Our two parallel lives
We will align
Parallel lives

Rest Of My Days
04:36
|
|

This January, without a drop of rain
Brings introspection coupled with a dire lack of change
In February, the water starts to fall
And now the path I walked is washed away
Was it ever there at all?
Waiting for the light
To wash over my head
And bring me the rest of my days
Waiting for the time
When this longing subsides
So I can get on with my life
Now and then I drive by memories
And dream of who I used to be
He bleeds
A flicker of doubt in a fading flame
It sparked who I am, not what I became
What was my heart’s delight
Has left me stranded outright
And now as we fade away
I’m getting better in time
Broken pieces will align in time
I’m only getting better now
Gather what was shattered
Now I pick up all the pieces

The Constant
04:35
|
|

I believe in eternity
Not a life lived uncertainly
As days go by
My heart is heavy
An anchor to the ocean ground
Around which my soul is wound
You won’t see me around
Suggesting this confidence found
My feet led me astray
But my spirit found its way
As time accelerates
We stand still
An anchor to ease the pain
To make me strong again
To make me a better man
As vessels, they sail away
I’m anchored to somewhere safe
Another, I’ll find
When ships drift they collide
Can you save me from the tides?
I believe in eternity
And unwavering melody
As the earth unwinds
My pulse is steady
