The Line
04:23
|
|||
|
with a beg and a plea and a promise to run ahead
and a circumstance where nothing will hold you back
your ambition stacks to heights where you cannot reach
and a line now forms behind you to get a piece
the cost
to cease
and the line holds you down
throws your patience away
with the rest of today
look back, then look ahead
now you’re stuck as you try and change your priorities
in the line’s eyes it’s when you don’t try that you succeed
and with nothing left to move on from where you’ve been
you fall out of line and give up before you begin
one loss
no wins
and the line holds you down
throws your patience away
with the rest of today
look back, then look ahead
and the line holds you down
as it moves with no end
as it snakes, as it bends
to catch you in it’s grasp

Unsolved
03:34
|
|||
|
dark. a gray world wraps
you around this box
wake as the rain falls
run as danger calls
a wave of night enclosed the sky
a path that’s blocked, unsolved
to late for light when all was night
light around the bend
in a tree truck land
signs, electric light
spark a shocking sight
a wave of night enclosed the sky
a path that’s blocked, unsolved
to late for light when all was night

Like a Daisy
03:52
|
|||
|
on your death bed, when your future’s gone, with your memories
times and places, with everyone you know, every moment, gone.
losing each one, with every blink they’re gone, no tomorrow today
breathe your last breath, and it takes a shape, like a daisy
like a daisy
like a daisy
like a daisy, and it takes a shape, your last breath
tomorrow, today, with a blink it’s gone, losing each one
every moment, with everyone you know, times and places
with no memories, when your futures now, will you live life.
like a daisy

Crest
04:00
|
|||
|
I see you standing with your back against a wall
shrugged shoulders lean back, support yourself so you don’t fall
but you’re in a corner, where all you get is what you see
but now times are changing, a broken wall lays at your feet
change will come to all you know and love
change will come to all you know and love
change will come to all you know and love
change will come to all you know and love

The Crown
03:11
|
|||
|
I fought unheard, tongue tied
you thought your word was right
and it was right
do you wonder if it’s coming down?
do you wonder if you wear the crown?
if you find out what is going wrong
would you follow what needs to be done?
a wind, a change, of tide
always away, a light
and it was bright
do you wonder when it’s coming down?
do you wonder if you wear the crown?
if you find out what is going wrong
would you follow what needs to be done?

The Cracks
05:05
|
|||
|
the less you need, the less you want, the more you get
a lazy breeze, a lazy man, a busy mind
turns a new leaf, turns into dust under your feet
look where you are
look what I am
slip into the cracks they fall through
slip into the cracks they fall through
an older soul, not old enough, keeps looking back
to find his role, to fit a plan, to be his own
it set me straight, I’m on the rails, and off the street
look what you’ve done
look what I am
slip into the cracks they fall through
slip into the cracks they fall through
slip into the cracks they fall through
slip into the cracks they fall through
slip into the cracks they fall through
|

Reconciled
02:57
|
|||
|
a shiver of cold sweeps shoulders bent
and endless tree line’s all that’s left
shrugging off the loneliness
reconciled in peaceful bliss
the end.
