Something More

Let it out, let it out,
or how can we begin?
Show it all, show it all,
cause this is where we start.
Can you know that it all,
falls perfectly in place.
Let it out, let it out,
let the new year start.
And I'll be trying to make you see,
That there is something more to me.
Through these cycles of defeat,
There is something more to me.
Breathe it out, breathe it out,
or how can we begin?
Leave your bones, leave your bones,
You won't be needing them here.
In your eyes, in your eyes,
We'll see a different light.
Breathe it in, breathe it in,
Let the new year start.
And I'll be trying to make you see,
That there is something more to me.
Through these cycles of defeat,
There is something more to me.

The Island

I see a time, where we can find,
Ourselves together.
I know they're blind, and you're just fine,
but are you lying?
If sticks and stones, can break your bones,
Are you rising?
If everything, comes down to pain,
Will you overcome?
I am tired,
Of watching you drown.
You should know that,
The world needs you.
I know with time, futures collide,
And we're together.
But in meantime, will you be fine,
Without me here?
If sticks and stones, can break your bones,
Are you rising?
If everything, comes down to pain,
Can you overcome?
I am tired,
Of watching you drown.
You should know that,
The world needs you.
We'll set sail for an island,
Where we can watch the world go by.
Set sail for an island,
The tide will wash the past away.

I always thought your eyes were white,
but now I see the green.
I always thought the night was black,
but now I see the sheen.
Through this I always knew,
but I was a ghost.
But now I've seen the color here,
and now I won't go back.
I'd seen the forest for the wolves,
but I could barely breathe.
Now I see the forest for the wolves,
but now I see the trees.
Begin To Dream In Color.
Like Starting Over.
All the noise that I had heard,
I never turned my back.
And though I longed for something more,
I knew it'd never last.
I'd walk in circles here,
around my head.
But now the colors are so bright,
and I am here again.
I'd seen the forest for the wolves,
but I could barely breathe.
Now I see the forest for the wolves,
but now I see the trees.
Begin To Dream In Color.
Like Starting Over.

II. Lucidity

All those stories...
My open doors get closed.
And I try to make sense of the world here.
In the dark recluse.
I can't say why I think it's turning,
But I can say that it's the end.
All the while my mind is burning,
With all the questions I have asked.

III. Synesthesia

I can see, a dawn that is worth,
What the night, has brought unto me.
If we try, fall unto the earth,
Then we might, never see the day.
I see a turning point,
Where all we've ever known.
If I could start again,
I'd make things right with you.
Sometimes, we lose what we thought.
Sometimes, we're no more than the stars.
If we try, fall unto the earth,
Then we might, we'll see...
I see a turning point,
Where all we've ever known.
If I could start again,
I'd make things right with you.
We Are, We're No More Than The Stars.

Coma Song

This life I've lived.
The times I've tripped.
The turning back.
I fall down, I fall down.
It feels so right,
The way I feel tonight.
As it lifts me upright,
I can feel tonight.
I know it's fleeting,
But I hope it will stay.
This real feeling,
It's all that's in my way.
It feels so right,
The way I feel tonight.
As it lifts me upright,
I can feel tonight.
And all that I've done.
All I've won.
It's all by the side.
I can feel tonight.

The Fall
06:31
|

|
The tears dry your eyes,
and stain your cheek.
Time passes by,
Old friends won't keep.
You're stapled shut,
Your senses grey.
Turning to light,
Turning to me.
I know you.
The faces of loss,
The coldness of fear.
Of never finding home,
Never finding peace.
But I've seen the page,
The island, the rage.
Everything is fine.
Perfectly in line.
The moment in time.
I know you.
Fall right down, get back up.
