2.	Distance 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Distance Would it hurt yourself to ask yourself if you’re to blame The words all change, scenery remains the same Go nowhere til you learn, start listening Forget your point...Dance, dance, sway, repeat. It’s all my fault again, call it all my fault So you say Fight to save face All the while it becomes clear to me, we’re missing the Give and take Lost in this place Lonely miles between our lovesick eyes We’re drifting away So you cut the lines and sever all the ties that bind Still you’re here, can’t flee from your pride Analyze but your mind’s behind everything Can’t solve this...Fall, fall, run, retreat. It’s all my fault again, call it all my fault But if I’m to blame and fail to see Take this song and sing it back to me Simple words meant to repeat Take this song and sing it back to me Lost ourselves so suddenly Take this song and sing it back to me If I’m to blame and I can’t see Take this song and sing it back Chase the day Regain our embrace Reconcile the distance in-between, we’re finding the Give and take Lost in this place Run and hide here in my outstretched arms We don’t have to drift Away
3.	Firing Squad 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Firing Squad Must I wake again To face your firing squad The mind’s best of intentions The heart forgot Your tongue is a trigger Lips a revolver Words like bullets pierce the skin Of my belief each time you speak Riddle my trust with cacophony I can’t hear you cause my ears are ringing I can’t hear you til your steps can mean it All you say has proven fleeting I can’t hear you til your heart can beat it Convince my innocence Of what you’re not But no more can I bear This same, tired façade Your tongue is a trigger Lips a revolver Smoking gun can’t hide the truth As words repeat, you’re cutting deep Litter my hope with hypocrisy I can’t hear you cause my ears are ringing I can’t hear you when my trust is bleeding All this time and you can’t see it Louder doesn’t mean worth believing Speak the truth, subtract the love Kill me quicker than a lie ever could Ever, ever could I can’t hear you cause my ears are ringing I can’t hear you til your heart can beat it I can’t hear you!
4.	True North 03:56	lyrics	buy track
True North We depart on the water, crystal clear All doubts eclipsed by the view from the pier Christen our ship with a heartfelt kiss But if a day... Finds us adrift on an angry sea (Stay awake perchance still to dream) Hold fast to the heart of strength unseen And brace for the high tide When sail meets storm Battered by the cold rain, tattered and torn And we’re overboard The waves may take us But I won’t let you go I won’t let you go Our ship split apart by relentless waves Stranded afraid, clutching to the remains Find my hand, let fingers intertwine We’ll find a way... My darling, trust my steadfast kiss (I know the shore is right beyond the mist) A shaft of light in this tempest Rescues our sightline We’ll chart a course for truest north What’s in our hearts can’t be capsized I know love’s not love that alters When it alteration finds
5.	Sight 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Sight Phone lines and satellites Aren’t what I want at all this time Keypads and painted screens Never seem to be what I need to see Something must be missing here (Could it be, could it be your voice) So surprising yet so clear (Could it be, could it be your face) I think it might be the sight of you That I find so difficult to replace Swift times cannot depart The science of the human heart Subtract the elementary We’ll miss the soul of clarity Something must be missing here (Could it be, could it be your voice) So surprising yet so clear (Could it be, could it be your face) Something must be missing here So surprising yet so clear I wonder could it be... I wonder could it be us.
6.	Silhouette 04:51	lyrics	buy track
Silhouette Collapse inside Shadows confiscate the space between the lines My thoughts collide Colors cannot rise when frozen by this night Jet black, my mind Is older than my age At last, someone Show me my escape Illuminate my silhouette Capture my gaze Show me I’m not over yet This place in time Darkened alleyways and lonely city lights I realize The clock will not relent across my heart’s skyline Jet black, my sight Is blinded by these days Such lights, your eyes Come echo back in mine
7.	Harbor Lights 05:09	lyrics	buy track
Harbor Lights Twin lives, separated only by The time and the tides That swept across our silent shores I watched you fall and I saw My face in yours This lighthouse shines a somber hue Along the cold ocean avenue We fell apart far, far too soon I’ll still reach, I’ll reach for you Inside, my thoughts can strain and fret and fight But I know it’s not me With a choice to change your restless mind I’ll stretch my light across the sea To watch and wait And pray one day the winds of change Will draw you back to me I’m still reaching (Even if you never take my hand) I’m still, I’m still reaching (Though I know it won’t be the same again) I’m still reaching (Even if you never take my hand) I’m still, I’m still reaching (Though I know it won’t be the same again) I’m still reaching
8.	Open The Door 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Open The Door By the starlight I’m seeing at first glance My midnight Should I take the chance To go beneath it all To show the weight of my fall Open the door Open wide inside, I can’t hide Yes, I’m to blame for me But surely it’s not all my fault No, it’s not all Can I breathe this air again Can I taste the innocence Move me past regretful hands Let me know I’m not so wrong Fault line, the ground on which I stand I’ve lost sight Scarce can see the plan Beyond these haunted halls My past ceaselessly calls Open the door Open wide inside, I can’t hide Yes, I’m to blame for me But surely it’s not all my fault No, it’s not all Let me know At the heart of me there’s still a hope
9.	Stone Countenance 05:14	lyrics	buy track
Stone Countenance Solid through and through A thousand shades of gray Comprise my weathered hue A cold and silent statue A chilling, ghastly blue My eyes they show no pain Heartache held from view A cold and silent statue This rigid stone cocoon Conceals a crimson rage Refuge became a tomb A cold and silent statue Envy’s green ensues Its poison floods my veins Tainting all that’s true A cold and silent statue Spinning world static soul Cling tighter to the control Let truth be told You've been dying to lose Left here alone to face the toll, Old allies abandon me The strength of my will at once grows still The silence is screaming Left here alone to fall the toll Old allies abandon me The strength of my will at last grows still The silence is singing (Beautiful erosion, one brave tear is falling) A brilliant thrill to finally hear The silence is singing Beautiful erosion One brave tear Beautiful erosion
10.	Disarmed 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Disarmed Sometimes maybe we got the timing wrong Sometimes maybe we came on too strong Or not strong enough We could know it all to no avail The failures we’ve seen Swept us far from strange fairy tales But I’m still dreaming We’ve been waiting so long to just taste The freedom of a fallen pride We’ve been spinning in and out of the same daze Shake it up, let us collide We’ve both seen our share of heart- Break when bright fell to gray To escape the stealth of the dark Let it fall down, let it start Let it start with a shattered heart With a shattered heart Tread light on the earth for the road is long Landmines of the heart lurk all along Disarmed just by love What will break our fall when doubt prevails And silence descends Let us each be the first to fail And bare our weakness
11.	Nemesis 05:51	lyrics	buy track
Nemesis Can you see how you’re frightening me The way you thoughtlessly Swallow all I say, ay Do you know my lying tongue like I do Do I know your ears too well Would you believe the poorest proof Do I want your faith just for myself I’m begging you Please don’t, don’t believe me blindly Time after time, fear loves to hide behind absolutes I’m begging you Please don’t, don’t believe me blindly Faith’s unafraid to face the mysteries of truth It’s stunning when you’re next to me How I so easily Can hold your heart at bay, ay Do you know my lying smile like I do Do I know your eyes too well A prophet must be proven true But the more you buy, the more I’ll sell You see the Jekyll, miss the Hyde Nemesis I contrive Inside my words, in my eyes If I win your mind, will you know? The devil’s voice is the best At mimicking the divine Ignorance is bliss Until you’re numb You see the Jekyll, miss the Hyde Nemesis I contrive Inside my words, in my eys My heart can craft perfect crimes The devil’s voice is the best At mimicking the divine See the Jekyll, miss the Hyde Nemesis inside
12.	Red 05:41	lyrics	buy track
Red What did I ever do to deserve not to starve What did I do to deserve to breathe free, to hope, to dream What did you do to deserve none of these things Stare down my skin, my hands What right have I to inherit this fighting chance Beneath the fires of the wars we wage The same shade of red runs through our veins, our veins Turn my sight upside down, away from my kingdom We’ve chased such counterfeit crowns, The same What did I ever do to learn this subtle sting of greed What did I do to learn the silent kill, the chill of apathy What did you do to learn none of these things Stare down your skin, your hands Can such fragile strength become my fighting chance Sunrise, bittersweet horizon On the shore, across the sea Your eyes, see them smiling Embers of love’s still burning dream Sunrise, in the quiet Listen and hear a new heartbeat Beneath the fires of the wars we wage The same shade of red runs through our veins, our veins Turn my sight upside down, I’ll chase a kingdom To the kings and the rubble coming down The same

Daylight Outro (Bonus Track) We’ve been strangers We’ve succumb to the shadows and the shade We’ve shied from danger And now we’re met with all that we’ve misplaced But the rays of the sun wash across my face I have come undone, this haze is broken By the daylight And I can hear the hurt here in your cries But I can see the hope stirring in your eyes Now, when I open mine so I can see…
