We've been strangers We've hid away We've shied from danger So where could we stay Here in this truth All that remains Movement must be The strength that sustains My fist unfolds Your hurt I'll hold Here we are Standing in the rain Setting sail with the winds of change Burning bright with the break of day- Light breaks the dark and we are Not the same We've longed to stay here Half a heart away Content with anger These words just complain Near to the truth But never in the fray Movement must be The strength that sustains My fist unfolds Your hurt I'll hold Rain's flooded my eyes Love's flooded my eyes Love's flooded my eyes

Ocean 04:50
When you find out you're afraid of the ocean Waves splash, they touch your skin But you can't, you can't see where they end On the shoreline, you see an endless horizon Worlds clash as the tide comes in And you don't, don't know where to begin Over and over Coming closer Fading further away All with the same glimpse of the unknown As waves crash over and over In and out of control And you just don't know how deep How deep this goes When you find out you're afraid of the ocean Doubt swims in, it pulls the current And your mind, your mind gets caught in the spin Over and over When you find out you're overcome by the ocean Waves drown, they drown all you've been And you can't, you can't comprehend Can it be now that love is motion Love is motion Over and over Coming closer Fading further away All with the same glimpse of the unknown As waves crash over and over They drench your soul They soak your soul And you just don't know how deep How deep this goes

I don't want her to know I don't know me now I see something better but I can't let it be somehow I say goodbye but I know I've never longed to go I struggle to stray from her eyes They seem so like home I'll take my time as fast as I can now Search my mind to find how to flee this doubt Search my heart to know how to hold one now I spin out and let, let my pride unfold I let go Is running away the way to relieve my doubt And if I should stay would the past still find me out I'm so afraid that my flaws will fail me now Why do I stray from this voice The sweetest sound I'll hide away in truth til it heals my heart Let it learn to beat for more than mine I'll take my time as fast as I can now Search my mind to find how to flee this doubt Search my heart to know how to hold one now I spin out and let, let my pride unfold I let go...so I can know How to hold a heart I don't want her to know I don't know me now I see something better Can it be somehow?

I can't see those trees anymore I can't see that field I can't see if we care anymore But for material Orange and black they wear Beneath hardhats they stare As metal gleams with sunlit glare And ground breaks Landscape laid bare Foundation rises, we breathe the burning air We're not satisfied but will fortune truly take us there Let it break down Let us build for more than the dollars where we'll drown Failure finds me where No one sees, do I dare Let my flaws find the morning air And let you shine on all my secrets Days drenched in disrepair Can't rewind, must relearn where To run when the weight I bear Draws me in to this despair Let it break down Let the scalpel tear the skin, I trust it now I trust you now Let me break Everyday, everyday Let me break Let it break down Let the scalpel tear the skin, I trust it now I trust you now

All I Hold 04:10
When I am alone I am incomplete But when I'm here with you Maybe solitude is all that I need Alone in the multitude I'm standing right next to you in an empty room Whether night or light Whether sun or cold You are all I hold You are all I hold When I'm far from home Maybe home feels obsolete 'Cause when I'm marked by truth No shelter houses me If I'm just pondering what with this day to do Or searching just for simple food

Over the edge So scared, so unsteady I leapt from the ledge Was I ready? Was I ready for you? Freefall Freefall I fall into the deep Here with you and this uncharted air beneath me I'm powerless to prove myself When you already see my faults Limitless sky and I, so lost Freefall Freefall Over the edge So scared to take this pledge To be an open door and let you pour this light On my darkest corridors But I can't be the me I've been before, I start to see You pledged first your heart to me And here I fall, Oh I fall Free, I fall Free, I fall Free, I fall Free Now, in my descent, after all my sight is spent, I see In this surrender, in this sweet release my restless heart assures me Letting go, I've lost control to you, yet finally I find that I am free But instead of sinking to the depths, my soul is swelling up and up Rising to the heights and I fall, I fall into flight I fall, I fall And you are by my side I fall, I fall And in your heart, I'll hide I fall, I fall Free

Hurting eyes see only pain Dying skies pour only rain We find solace knowing We're all the same And the cold wind will find us This long road reminds us These days are all burning But through the fire We are learning All these lives that we've seen fade The sands of time still drift away The night seems steady growing But we hold on to (Today) You don't have to wait til your world is falling (Today) Don't be afraid though the hurt's still calling Breathe from your heart Breaking with the scars of the dark Shaking us awake inside Breathe in, breathe in Alive. Alive. Memories are all that's left of the names We see shattered skies But true beauty never breaks And the cold wind will find us This long road reminds us These days are all burning But for more, we're still yearning Breathe from your heart Breathe in. You don't have to wait. (Today) Don't be afraid. Breathe from your heart Breaking with the scars of the dark Shaking us awake inside Breathe in, breath in Alive. Alive.

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 When I open mine so I can see The rays of the sun Wash across my face And I dare not depart this place Unchanged
