Lucid 05:58
Forfeit, I do resign Are you feeling better? Taking to use the rind There is no disillusion I will make it all mine To which that I feel is right Give me a sign so that I know that this is not all wrong Lucid, we were asleep Not complicated, we were so naked I am at the mercy of a situation And I cannot believe that it’s me I am the one that is deceiving As you were leaving And I cannot stop and I will not go to your static You’re still All the time in the world will never fix the fact that this is broken Lucid, we were asleep Not complicated, we were so naked I am at the… Through the eyes of a tree, I wish I could see I’ll define what is right I will see what is wrong Stationed in the ground It is the light that makes me strong The world fell, due to the equivalence Does it make sense? Individual significance You give a little, take a lot Premature, you look too far Picking at the scab, I’m developing these scars Objective, reflective, I’m standing so hollow I’m finding myself, man, in everything we wallow It’s the pleasures you weather, it’s the pain that you give Finding myself in a life I can’t live Lucid, I was asleep All you have to do is ask And I would compromise One life, too fast One chance, get tripped Too many, one more Two more, just slipped One list, too hard One stuck, broke spine Living in the noise Developed, embellished Preoccupied, justified Everything that you wanted baby, prepared and underlined It’s the resources, enslave, wholesale, close your eyes I’m feeling the apathy Lucid, I was asleep All you had to do is ask And I would compromise Power, absolute of human time Power, ideals we kill and purify Power, what you seek and never find Dirty, dilated, demise, I am the middle man Power, what you strive and never see Power, an epiphany to what’s free Power… Now on my deathbed to die Human is heathen Don’t give me a reason I don’t want your excuses It is the breath of my being Withering away I do not have a say Give me the chance and I promise I’ll do everything that I can to unfetter these chains Are you feeling better? Taking to use of all the rind No disillusion, I’m breaking the cycle to everything that Feels so wrong You’re not right All the money in the world will never reimburse everything that has been taken Lucid, we were asleep Not complicated, we were so naked I am at the…. Forfeit I do resign

Tonight 04:40
God gives love He does not take away The gifts he gave The warmth received Conquered all of your pain Inside, don’t be afraid to feel The beauty shared, the strength that ranks Let them life you up tonight Tonight There’s no shame in believing You don’t have to say goodbye Tonight… Release the hate Let go of fear Embody the great created in you Have faith so you can heal Look back, but don’t you stare too long Put down the weight that pities you Pick up the hope that carried us through tonight Tonight There’s no shame in believing You don’t have to say goodbye Tonight…. Tonight You don’t need to be lonely Tonight You are not alone Tonight They can rest in peace Tonight Feel released

Back to Life 05:16
Trial and error feeds Feeding on the grief of the out of sight Put me out of your mind Take it out of context Push me out of your line You lost sight of all your purpose Why would you waste your time looking after mine? The fear to find I bled my mind Design, rewind I cannot reside Tangled in a web of truth spun from lies Mangled by the marks that we made Misplaced, but alive Look me in the eye So push and pull This moon took a stand High tide is near And clearly in the end We’re marked and bound False sense, loyalty Mislead, manipulate Making me agree It is not what it seems Life finds a way so that life can live on Life finds a way so that you can carry on Life finds a way so that life can live on Can I find my way out? This poor pain bodied, pawn of a plan Settling in the wake of your murky quicksand Gravity loosen your grip on me The water is rising Release me Release me Why do you beat a dead horse you can’t bring back to life?... Life finds a way so that live can live on Life finds a way so that you can carry on Life finds a way so that life can live on Can I find my way out? Elevated, beyond frustrated Relaxed in the helplessness of this entire situation Abandonment U-turn decision Focus on that failure Fickle you left me here to wake in rot Get out, break free, flee, release me…. I’m taking this last breath The water’s risen over my head Get out, break free, flee, release me…. Why do you beat a dead horse you can’t bring back to life?...

And if I could Carry On with the dawn Make a new wrong Turn around at the sound Cause I think I found That this might be a new beginning A new beginning Beginning Begin, Begin me And I am not Starring Anymore And I am not Wearing Anymore The clothes of the men I do not befriend I extend no efforts toward These apologies have lost all meaning Sincerity has taken its toll And I feel I have played my role Cause I realize that I can no longer be Sorry Sorry Sorry You saw me…..

Stay or leave, and it always feels like thunder Every time I turn around to see There is no one left to lead To Lead To the grave, we kill and it never made a difference Every time we turn around to see There is no one left to lead To Lead I found the foundation of greed Built on the stilts of what they make us believe Fear isn’t faith and I cannot relate this disgrace God is not for profit, we can never erase To Lead To Lead All day for days now…. You’ll be let down Let down I cannot take this I cannot shake this I cannot take this I will not break this…. All day for days now…. You’ll be let down Let down

Be Alright 04:46
Put down those sticks and those stones All I ever saw was love in her eye She's made enough mud with those tears I don’t think there’s ever been a better time You don’t have to fight You don’t have to take flight When you are by my side Let me in and I will Never let you go Only letting the best in You are so beautiful You know how I know that we’ll make it Believing we’ll be just fine Keep letting and letting our love in We are together we will be alright You know how I feel You are so fine Be Alright Love gave me what I wanted so take your time You know I love her You know I want her She is the best thing in the world Believe in me And I believe in you There is nothing left to prove In this life into the next Every passage, every step This adventure, a gift, and I choose you So shine your light Shine your light on us Truth prevails in the end You know I love her You know I want her She is the best thing in my world Let me in and I will Never let you go Only letting the best in You are so beautiful You know how I know that we’ll make it Believing we’ll be just fine Keep letting and letting our love in We are together we will be alright You know how I feel you are so fine Be Alright Love gave me what I wanted so take your time
