Stand 04:27
lyrics
The chorus is you need us Until you scratch away the surface And it's a bomb It's a bomb The fuse is the excuse Choking up on the spark of change was lint flint of this brain And the spiral down is rising up like a burning church Check where your heart lies Take a broader look at who's getting hurt And know, and know, and know you're better than this hole It goes so low I'm on my own two feet I'm on my own two feet Follow tracks in the sand to a blinded man down on his knees I'm on my own two feet I'm on my own two feet Form my own allies, decide, provide, for myself I speak Say who's watching after you while they're stealing for themselves The mirror under cotton shoes was placed by parasitic yells Non-fiction is giant' indifferent defiance The difference between words and actions Is more than just neuron connection More than just neuron connections Prey by fear or have intention I'm on my own two feet I'm on my own two feet Follow tracks in the sand to a blinded man down on his knees I'm on my own two feet I'm on my own two feet Form my own allies, decide, provide, for myself I speak Do you lean on somebody else Or do you stand on your own, do you stand on your own Do you lean on somebody else Do you stand, do you stand on your own Do you stand on your own I'm on my own two feet I'm on my own two feet Follow tracks in the sand to a blinded man down on his knees I'm on my own two feet I'm on my own two feet Form my own allies, decide, provide, for myself I speak

Set Your Phasers to Stun 04:13
lyrics
You think you're made of marble People see you eyes wide It's true your heart's a stone And their judgement's in their eyes, in their eyes The owl hoots says great men Are backed by a woman of equal measure But that means no one's behind you, oh, when you Face her talking rainy weather Set your phasers to stun You've lost all reception Already taken for granted Her fairy tale has lost enchantment Getting by William shakes his peers Such tragedy from love If she don't think she's worth it, oh She lives a witch's curses, cursed love What have we become The holy water flows From grateful mountain snows Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on A new perspective Shakes the riffs in the ground Set your phasers to stun You've lost all reception Already taken for granted Her fairy tale has lost enchantment Getting by Set your phasers to stun You've lost all reception Already taken for granted Her fairy tale has lost enchantment Getting by

On Fire 03:47
lyrics
Promote me, enthrone me Raise a glass, cheer the victor on My head's held high, can't see what's beneath me Charisma and style like you could ever teach these On trial 'cause I'm stealing the girls' heart Sly smile I got one with the best parts No limit wherever I walk And finesse when I rock Please excuse this humble brag Oh I swear it's deserving I keep my mouth shut like a trap But the truth can be burning I got my fancy shoes I'm drip drip drippin' with cool and I Make my way across the floor I'm on fire like never before The way I move draws attention from masses Eyes steady in the shadow of glasses I make my way across the floor I'm on fire like never before Like the fine blurry line between crazy and genius Your soul will be better but I'll still make you nervous Your little speech bubble is a blank white page And like a fine red wine I get better with age Feel me enter across the floor Are you feeling the tension Because the moment you meet me Holds belief in suspension I got my fancy shoes I'm drip drip drippin' with cool and I Make my way across the floor I'm on fire like never before The way I move draws attention from masses Eyes steady in the shadow of glasses I make my way across the floor I'm on fire like never before Smoke and fire lead me to the floor Shiver your spine, oh, by the steady of my own Smoke and fire lead me to the floor Shiver your spine, oh, by the steady of my own By the steady of my own By the stready of my own By the steady of my own By the steady of my own By the steady of my own I got my fancy shoes I'm drip drip drippin' with cool and I Make my way across the floor I'm on fire like never before The way I move draws attention from masses Eyes steady in the shadow of glasses I make my way across the floor I'm on fire like never before

All Too Familiar 03:03
lyrics
The headaches of our fathers Climb the ladders of a generation And they're always up ahead As we cycle once again Will they ever resolve Feeling sentimental For the loss of it all Drop the clutch let the teeth start gnashing Head left for a while til we end up right This is all too familiar All, all too familiar All, all too familiar All, all too familiar Hurry up and wait Hurry up and wait to pass the torch again To the runner moving swiftly out of sight We didn't even know the game could be over If we didn't sacrifice for sake of the blue sky Drop the clutch let the teeth start gnashing Head left for a while til we end up right This is all too familiar All, all too familiar All, all too familiar All, all too familiar Drop the clutch let the teeth start gnashing Head left for a while til we end up right This is all too familiar All, all too familiar All, all too familiar All, all too familiar

Refuel 03:28
lyrics
This room it is foreign, a suit tailored for me Suddenly sits misshapen There are these cave paintings On the walls of this great ballroom And an eastern moving sun sees me laugh, laugh, laughing in crowds Laughing in crowds I went out into the wild Heard the same voice calling my name What I am to become at such height is now stalling Go Go A pillar in matchsticks feels no shadow of fear This collage holds appeal in a mirror Ground breaking news about the cracks in the ceiling The cracks aren’t the news but the ceiling I’m seeing It's the ceiling I'm seeing I went out into the wild Heard the same thing calling my name What I am to become at such height is now stalling Go Go The fuel space is empty and open The sparks ignite set the room aflame The priest and the sinner both agree A volcano explodes before you know its name I went out into the wild Heard the same thing calling my name What I am to become at such height is now stalling Go Go

I Am a Ghost 01:24
lyrics
It’s amazing Control tower to the pilots guide them safely For a second lose connection leave the passengers bracing This is crazy. Time was wasting like a pack of dogs dying; Because they measured their teeth to the scale of a hunting snare Scaly fish enforce beheadings as they blubber underwater A rock encrusted crown to he who rides the highest wave While a man who built a city with no banner to his name Puts a flag on top a mountain made of knowledge that he came Could the reason they don’t notice be that those who know they’re leading Trust the ground to keep them grounded rather than a glass ceiling A rainfall of egos sees all too familiar shoes Like a drowning 8 ball spring the claws right on cue But the bruises and the news are only noticed by the mute View the masses climbing ladders gouging eyes to be confused There are holes in our hands We wear gloves not to boast I nod to young wrinkled faces We embrace our ghost

Fall Anthem 05:58
lyrics
The sun comes in cascading on her shoulder Through a soft movie lens, it’s the only way I see her And as the nights grow cold, her body’s getting warmer The softest down in the sheets can’t compare As the leaves hit the ground, I count my blessings having you here This textured air surrounds, this moment with bluest starry light September air moves through October so damn quick And as the autumn falls, so do I into your love She looks with such an honest brown Royalty in her gait Pillars of white line paths showered in golden spades And as the nights grow cold, this feeling’s getting stronger In these arms she slows and speaks without need of breath Like a soft embrace As the leaves hit the ground, I count my blessings having you here This textured air surrounds, this moment with bluest starry light September air moves through October so damn quick And as the autumn falls, so do I into your love Call this another anthem about how in love with you I am Call this another anthem I’ll be there when you reach out your hand Call this another anthem about how in love with you I am Call this another anthem I’ll be there from season to season ‘Cause I’m in love I’m in love In this fall air In this fall air

Lullaby 04:14
lyrics
Sit in the silence From the ground comes songs of love Let them carry you on waves of seas Slipping time where none cane be Slip your eyes to softly sleep A brushstroke blue I sing to you A brushstroke green paints the scene A cradled body by a mother’s touch Ease this logic and wash with dreams Far away I hold you still Good morning I love you, I always will From the wind come songs of love Let them carry you on waves of seas

One Thing Left 05:40
lyrics
In a picture window on the thoroughfare I saw your flowers in a vase I thought I’d like to pick them up as a surprise to see the smile on your face As you tend to them with water I will look across the room and ask myself How did I ever find a ladder tall enough to pull you off the top shelf? And I’ll continue singing all these love songs so that my voice will make you melt And I will practice making dinner so I can cheer you up, oh, when you’re down And I will never lie so I can be a rock beneath your weary worried feet And I’ll be all these things for you and all that’s left is for us to meet On the day that I first see you will I stand upon an unsuspecting stage I bet I’ll never see you coming and to see you I’ll believe that day in fate I’ll be off that day in flight and for the first time I’ll be frightened I may crash That I may never sing this song for you and let you know with you this role is cast And I’ll continue singing all these love songs so that my voice will make you melt And I will practice making dinner so I can cheer you up, oh, when you’re down And I will never lie so I can be a rock beneath your weary worried feet And I’ll be all these things for you and all that’s left is for us to meet Oh when will I find you I hope it’s somtime soon And when I find you I know my heart will beat this tune How I find you If I knew I’d grease the gears So hurry along We’ve wasted oh so many years And I need you here right now to hold and to love I’ve grown as far as I can all alone And I’m ready to take care of you To hold your heart if ever you may fall And I’ll continue singing all these love songs so that my voice will make you melt And I will practice making dinner so I can cheer you up, oh, when you’re down And I will never lie so I can be a rock beneath your weary worried feet And I’ll be all these things for you and all that’s left is for us to meet Oh when will I find you I hope it’s somtime soon And when I find you I know my heart will beat this tune How I find you If I knew I’d grease the gears So hurry along We’ve wasted oh so many years So hurry along, we've wasted oh so many years

Nostalgia 05:29
lyrics
Look towards the wonderous starry night Blow your mind lift and close your eyes Feel your body start a weightless rise And marvel things unquantified Hold a mirror to those dreams you see Drown the noise for favored melodies It was simple back when, when we were kids Being airplanes running through the wind Love was a motive, love kept us safe Love gave us hugs and sang us nightly serenades We lose it sometimes under moments of pain It’s always inside us, it can be reclaimed The wars we face cast lengthily shadows Love survives even through the battle The context can be hard to swallow It’s in the past now and tomorrow Love was a motive, love kept us safe Love gave us hugs and sang us nightly serenades We lose it sometimes under moments of pain It’s always inside us, it can be reclaimed So love, so love, as you once believed So love, so love, it will set you free So love, so love, as you once believed So love, so love, it will set you free Love was a motive, love kept us safe Love gave us hugs and sang us nightly serenades We lose it sometimes under moments of pain It’s always inside us, it can be reclaimed

Life 05:40
lyrics
I’m just living life one day at a time, sailing steady through this ocean I’m a kingly portrait in hallway light even when I’m feeling broken I see mountains in the distance and the valleys I’ve been in them Speaking fondly of the changes, in my ears rings carpe diem Religion, the war, the love being made The arguments in walls whose affect is great The feelings of joy and the feelings of fear Mean yes you’re alive, yes you’re alive The jails we build, a birthday wish The smile that comes when you hear you’re missed We all dissolve in the darkest night So laugh and sing, yes you’re alive I stand in waves that toss and throw, then feel alive once footed See gravity in items that, the scientific wouldn’t I’ve said my prayers and I’ve lost my faith, left blissful in confusion Broken chains for the freedom knowing rules are all illusion A loss of faith, your own applause Accepting someone else’s flaws The feelings of joy and the feelings of fear Mean yes you’re alive, yes you’re alive A death too soon, the break of a laugh An upset friend who is calling back We all dissolve in the darkest night So laugh and sing, yes you’re alive You can fight like a boxer but the gloves wear thin Or wait for an invite to carry you in Some cry poor me and others fear to fail And the ones who say yes seem to live tall tales The birth and the grave and all that’s in between The moments of the day that make us sing The feelings of joy and the feelings of fear Mean yes you’re alive, yes you’re alive From dust we’re made to dust we’ll go So blast through life so you’ll grow your soul We all dissolve in the darkest night So laugh and sing, yes you’re alive
