Intro 01:26
Resurrect me.
2.
We set ourselves a world apart but tonight we’ll never see the edge of sorrow the lights that set the stage are dimmer than the lights that call us home I’m breaking my wrists with this paper and pen trying to write us a future I hope these verses bring me closer to you, somehow Be still and know, we’re almost there When the shivering silence consumes us start a fire inside my heart Phantom displays of affection hung from these wires, we’re losing the signal I hope you know I’m burning the miles between us BE STILL Sing this promise to the end our love as one I swear that we. will. be. coming home.

The morning choir sings Of dying and waking up to die in faithful repetition of savoring destruction at the tip of serpent tongues Of tainted lies to fill our perfectly imperfect hearts From televised deception to the pages of our lives as the ink coursed through the canvas in the cadence of despair I found a tremor of my own, mirroring my stare how I’ve watched The soaring pulse of Insincerity become my own. In time, the lies will turn me into nothing more than sand and stone Do I find Truth in my disguise, the dull side of our Grace sharpening our knives Do words harbor progress, without action without heart CHORUS Tonight we tread this city on lawless passion and hope abound with my two hands I’ll sing a prayer in the winter of our dying.

Letters 04:30
Someday the words will come like a curtain to the act of my indifference swallow the distance between loss and second chance But for now the pages stare in trembling silence gasping for words, to never reach my fingers Brother, I am not a monument of aspirations but the reflection of our father cutting through our threadbare bonds Trying hard to fill the shoes of yesteryear to write these empty letters with only you in mind… ...But for now the pages stare in trembling silence gasping for words, to never reach my fingers and these blistered emotions will bleed across the lines of anticipation.

It takes a real friend to let you fall asleep at the wheel because when the wreckage clears your hands bolt tight at 10 and 2 and you're still alive crazy how the end looks like twisted silhouettes until you get there and find angels overcast This is what honesty looks like take hold there is no place like home (and yet you might die alone) When the bottles break and whisky turns sour take a cue from the ones who are still breathing Crazy how the end looks like twisted silhouettes until you get there and find angels overcast The sky will split down the center what will be said when words become like a prison sentence?

Vultures 05:08
Where's your worth, now? The dead enticing us in green desire dancing with deceit Pushing through love lost Just to hide out who you really are On the way down... Place your faith in decimals and lines (as you buy your way out) Place your faith in decimals and lines (on the way down) empty pockets, pleading mercy not from yourself but from these greedy hands How much Is too much? How much… Find your worth, now! The water rises faster and all you see are vigil eyes hovering like shadows in the dark, abysmal night why search for trust when you can just buy your way out… Place your faith in decimals and lines (as you buy your way out) Place your faith in decimals and lines (on the way down) empty pockets, pleading mercy not from yourself but from these greedy hands Wake up and shake these walls that keep you in Wake up Trenching through the shallow sea These tides will swallow you whole hand over the crown, it’s time to come home. Hand over the crown, it’s time to come home.

Widow 03:39
Her veil hides a scar From 60 years, pinned to a deathbed Sounding every night On every street And God, all I can do is Sink my head into the ground Shipwrecked on shore Now it’s time to set sail Cover the cracks Cover the cracks somehow In an exchange of vows (into a sea of desperation) In an exchange of vows (a widow to her past) Search the quiet corners Life is not a man With a noose around his neck Pull the rope And free yourself This past deserves a burial.

All this time we've found meaning in chaos where dreams collide with reality beauty and strength will prevail This is our chance now to give more than we ever could this is our chance now to reap what we are due Don't be deceived honesty has the appearance of weakness we will stop at nothing to bring light back to this darkened world Oh, shadow stretch at the sound of our footsteps for when we rise you will be nothing short than a memory Deliver us safely to shore deliver us... All these years culminate in this moment with our fists in the air and our eyes to the sky crack the shutters and let there be light! This is our chance now to give more than we ever could this is our chance now to reap what we are due Watching this flower, it has never withered it's taken a life of its own deliver us safely to shores we've created deliver us.

Babylon 03:17
Here comes the band of our fathers lightly playing a song: slow death, through self-realization. We choose to live by fuller means to search the skies for honest answers Without need, we could never find you so this time we follow the signs With faithful eyes. Erasing our betrayal Dear skeptics grab our torches Surround the earth and burn it down for every hand dressed in Red Greater hands will hold their burden Your lies have caused us only to pity and fall astray but tonight, by the ever we will rise we will rise! We choose to live by fuller means to search the skies for honest answers Without need, we could never find you so this time we follow the signs With faithful eyes. Erasing our betrayal Slowly… Slowly… Time will heal (pressing on) your fragile hands (pressing on) Pressing on knowing doctors and angels are our only salvation I need to feel like there is something worth fighting for I lay the questions at your feet and bare down on honesty I need to know that someday the Truth will rise and I’ll exalt my arms in supplication with only your Honor in mind.

Closure 06:01
When tomorrow casts its sorrow I'll remember you and the bottle that consumes us all break what binds us blood, deception and a ghost because some pasts are unforgiving Our house, a stage to your rehearsal drowning under the weight of lies while your lackluster eyes looked inward where affection is bribed by crime The milestones to the archetype lay lifetimes away so quit flooding these gates of redemption the bottle is your advocate against a jury of many.
11.
Believe 04:07
Let us hold fast to the confession of our Hope They say these days come entwined and bleed no sign of hope darkness outstretched for miles and miles I'd find my way back could I resign my pride A promise bared in sweat and blood as I starve for a rising sun I know you'll put me back together somehow They say what are you searching for? we're all sleepwalking to the end of this cold slope but who am I to disagree with demons pulling me into a downward spiral of regret? I'm calling out I'm calling out A promise bared in sweat and blood as I starve for a rising sun I know you'll put me back together somehow Let us hold fast to the confession of our Hope.

Losing Sight 07:11
Lead the way, halfway prayer of a ghost because my will has never fallen so short come, be the armor to my broken bones Don't ever lose sight of who you are The grip of failure pulling on my paper wings their calloused eyes, they tear this fortress from the inside out Don't ever lose sight of who you are Don't ever lose sight of what you're fighting for Push me to the edge I will return here in struggle and might So quick to break at sight of loss Disconnection comes with no remorse never alone; my faith will carry me to shore RISE FROM THE EMBERS! RISE! May these words be a siren to the open air to the empty to the hopeless There is no prison high enough to hold the measure of our worth there is no struggle hard enough To overcome Look past the scope of flesh and blood and search for something deeper To fulfill your heart Don't ever lose sight of who you are Don't ever lose sight of what you're fighting for Don't ever lose sight of who you are
