1. MAKE A SOUND

I don't know if we'll make it home
All we can do for now is hope

I don't know if we'll make it home
Water all around could swell and wash us all away
Away
And if we never set our feet on land again
This will be one last song I will not forget

And if you drown
You wont even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown

I'm losing track of all the days
Lost inside a lifeboat
Drifting out with all the waves
The waves
And some will find their way by looking towards the sky
And some will leave their fate up to these ocean tides

And if you drown
You wont even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown

And when you drown
You'll never even make a sound
And when you drown
Your gonna swallow water down

The water gets so heavy
The water gets so heavy
The water gets so heavy

The water's heavy when you drown
You wont even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown

You'll never even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown


2. CLOCKWORK

You're probably sick of being tired
You can't find the strength to close your eyes
You can't let go
But you can't change everything
Stop laying in this burning bed

Write it on the walls and read it
Bright red so you can see it
Don't fail me now
Write it on the walls and read it
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound
At least for now

Time's gonna warn you with a whisper
What it wants to let you know
You can't live in fear of the things that aren't for sure
So stay alive by playing dead

Write it on the walls and read it
Bright red so you can see it
Don't fail me now
Write it on the walls and read it
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound

Still there are lines for us to write before we close our eyes
And only time will tell the ending when the ink runs dry
Time will tell everything
It's ever so quiet counting down

Write it on the walls and read it
Blood red so you can see it
Life leaking out
Write it on the walls and read it
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound
At least for now
At least for now


3. BLIND TRUTH

I was drunk sober tarnished and pure
All I ever wanted was a little bit more
I had eyes that were heavy sickly and sore
Blacked out windows and a bolt on the door
I was shell shocked shaken from the world outside
I had voices come and wake me in the dead of the night
At the end of the tunnel they say there’s a light
I hope there’s more to living than just being alive

Cause the blind truth
It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting
Yeah the blind truth
It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting
For you

I was judge jury and witness in one
I put myself on trial for the things I had done
Folks are staring lookin' now at what I’ve become
Cold and unforgiving like the face of a gun
Went underneath my skin I felt my blood so warm
Waking up my senses like the day I was born
I was the sickness and I was the cure
I never thought I'd ever feel so safe and secure

And the blind truth
It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting
Yeah the blind truth
It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting
For you

Oh wah oh ohhh

Is the outside just your reflection? no
It’s a whispering that you hear when you’re alone
It’s all I know

Without the blood beneath my skin
It was so warm
It was just like the very first day I was born

And the blind truth
It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting
And the blind truth
It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting

Always watching always patient
In the end it's all that's waiting for you


4. I KNOW YOU'RE WAITING

I was waiting
Watching every single move
On the wire I cling to

And I feel it
Like a cold and empty room
There was nothing left to lose

I know, I know you're waiting
I'll see you again if it's the last thing I can do
I know, I know it's all that's true

I was wasted
Without everything I knew
I was lost without a clue

I know, I know you're waiting
I'll see you again if it's the last thing I can do
I know, I know it's all that's true

And I wandered so blind
That it brought me back to you
And I screamed at the sky
And it turned from black to blue

I know, I know you're waiting
I'll see you again if it's the last thing I can do
I know, I know it's all that's true
That's true
That's true
That's true
That's true
That's true
That's true
That's true
That's true

Now I'm weightless
Staring out across the view
Over mountains I can't move


5. THE 12TH DAY

Through the longest night, by this candle-light
We stand to cut the dark in two
And the concrete rain shattered window panes
But, no, it never shattered you
As long as there is blood inside my veins...

I will sing this out
'Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky...
On that day, I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes...
These wounded eyes!

And the 12th day showed that the sun still rose
As we tried to find our way
Through the steel and smoke, though it smouldered
We were cold and blanketed by grey
All we had was everything we gave...

I will sing this out
'Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky...
On that day, I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes...
These wounded eyes!

And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
We remember, we recover
As we hold on to each other
And our scars have made us stronger!
Turning strangers into brothers!
As we hold on to each other!
In a silent moment, we think of you now

I will sing this out
'Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky...
On that day, I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes...
These wounded eyes!

These empty spaces, across a bruised skyline
The names and faces, I can't erase them from my mind
These empty spaces, across a bruised skyline
The names and faces, I can't erase them from my mind


6. Voice in The Dark

If there's a light leave it on
If there's a way
Some how thin airs taken your place

Get over
Nights coming on
Its getting late
I hear my heart starting to break

And I'll wait for you
Faith is just a promise
I will wait for you
With places that are haunted
I'll be there

I walked for miles on and on
Searching in vain
A voice in the dark
Calling your name

I dreamt walls of fire rising up
Stood in the way
Tempered my soul walking through flames

And I'll wait for you
Faith is just a promise
I will make for you
In places that are haunted
I'll wait for you
Faith is just a promise
I will make for you
In places that are haunted
I'll be there

I wanted to believe (I wanted to believe)
In more than I could see (in more that I could see)
Each breath I take (each breath I take)
A leap of faith
Waiting to come down

If there's a light leave it on
If there's a light
If there's a light leave it on
If there's a light

And I'll wait for you
Faith is just a promise
I will make for you
In places that are haunted
I will wait for you
Faith is just a promise
I will make for you
In places that are haunted
I will wait for you


7. WHAT I WANT

I never thought I'd come back around
I never thought I'd see you again
And it took one night when I packed my life
And one to take it out again
I took a look at a photograph
Where we didn't even notice the lens
Something came to life from that 3x5
It was you and me and innocence

This is what I want
This is what I need
This is exactly what I've been waiting for

I set it up in a picture frame
Then I put a nail into the wall
Time has put lines here on my face
But it doesn't matter now at all
It was me and you when we were together
It was me and you when we were apart
It was me and you in my mind and
It was me and you in my heart

It took so long to find it and some they never will
A color print it took time and it held it still.


8. BLESSED BY A NIGHTMARE

Hands up and don’t you make a sound
Shotgun is pointed at me now
It just might blow me away
So here's all I have
It isn’t much but please
All I ask is
Let me walk away
Just then I thought I heard the sound

I never had this feeling so cold
I stood there freezing
And waiting.
I never had this feeling so cold
It seemed too easy
It seemed too easy to be gone

Hands out before I kiss the ground
Shotgun still pointed at me now
Ready to blow me away
And I don’t think I will make it home tonight
Don’t think I will make it out alive
That's when I then I thought I heard the sound

I never had this feeling so cold
I stood there freezing
And waiting.
I never had this feeling so cold
It seemed too easy
It seemed too easy to be gone

Each night I dream it all again
Steel barrel up against my head
Each night I never get away
It's shots fired shots fired shots...

If the light should take me
Then tonight I’ll be free

I never had this feeling so cold
I stood there freezing
And waiting.
I never had this feeling so cold
It seemed to easy
It seemed to easy to be gone

I’m blessed by a nightmare nightly
And when I'm dying it reminds me
I grab the air now and hold it tightly
Remember everything I love
Then I'm gone.


9. DIVINE INTERVENTION

Divine intervention
So few and far between
Like lightning when it touches to the ground
Answer me the question
I'm ready to believe
I hold my breath before I let it out

The face we show
The one we hide
The hands we hold and leave behind
For all we lose
And all we find
Here while we live and while we die.

The wait for redemption
It gets heavy on the mind
And I burn my eyes out staring at the sun
At this intersection
We are looking for the signs
And up ahead these roads they bend to one

The ties we bind
The ones we break
The solid ground beneath us shakes
What it tears down and what it makes
And what we give is all we'll take

(To ride along the horizon
When these days are gone
It's what we become
As we ride along the horizon
When theses days are gone
It's what we become.)

The face we show
The one we hide
The hands we hold and leave behind
For all we lose
And all we find
Here while we live and while we die.
The ties we bind
The ones we break
The solid ground beneath us shakes
What it tears down and what it makes
And what we give is all we'll take.

Divine intervention
Hanging in the air we breathe
And I'll fill my lungs with all that they can hold
As for all the questions
We've got everything we need
To guide us now whichever way we go.


10. CHROMATIC FADES

Across these highways
And dead end roads
You wandered down
For somewhere new

And you travel lightly
Just the air inside was all you take
To carry on your way
Hoping it lasts until the end

Cause after all
Those frames filled the wall
Then your ripped them down
After all
They're leaves in the fall scattered on the ground

You ended up
Back, where you began
And you couldn't find a face you knew

And you were hoping
You could Always go back to that place
You wanted it to wait
Somewhere we will never see again

Cause after all
Those frames filled the wall
Then your ripped them down
After all
They're leaves in the fall scattered on the ground

Chromatic Fades
Not when you're holding on
Drink until the glass is gone

Cause after all
Those frames filled the wall
Then your ripped them down
After all
They're leaves in the fall scattered on the ground


11. BYRON BLACK

I met a man named Byron Black
And he carried his life strapped to his back
On a sidewalk in Houston he called home
Crying 'Don't you forget me' he said
Don't you forget me
You don't know
What it's like to walk alone
You don't know
And I hope you never will

Every stride
Wears the soul more thin
Until it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride
Wears the soul more thin
Until it's slowly worn down to nothing
And what can I do now?

Faces of people he would see
They were colder than any city street
And the days go on and on
And they just walk by
He said "I'm disappearing"
He said "I'm disappearing"
You don't know
What it's like
To walk alone
You don't know
And I hope you never will

Every stride
Wears the soul more thin
Until it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride
Wears the soul more thin
Until it's slowly worn down to nothing

And we all were given names
But our hearts don't work the same
By-products of an evolution
Lost souls look for a lost solution
Now...

Every stride
Wears the soul more thin
Until it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride
Wears the soul more thin
Until it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride
Wears the soul more thin
Until it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride
Wears the soul more thin
Until it's slowly worn down to nothing
No!


12. THE CICADA'S SONG

Tonight I have decided that there's only one way out
And I tried so hard to fight it, but the blade kept coming down!

Nowhere to hide...
You were always way too strong
Out in the night...
As cicadas sing their song
Tell me, are you listening...?
Because no-one hears a thing

Tonight I have decided that there's only one way out!
And I tried so hard to fight it, but the blade kept coming down
And I've got a torrid story, but there's no-one I can tell!
I don't know if there's a Heaven, but I'm sure that there's a Hell

I feel the knife...
Like the first time breathing in
Come to life...
Like we'll never be again
Tell me, are you listening...?
Cause no-one hears a thing

Tonight I have decided that there's only one way out
And I tried so hard to fight it, but the blade kept coming down!

And it led me right where your heart should have been
And it was the last thing you saw, wasn't it?

I feel the knife...
Like the first time breathing

Tonight I have decided that there's only one way out!
And I tried so hard to fight it, but the blade kept coming down
And I've got a torrid story, but there's no-one I can tell!
I don't know if there's a Heaven, but I'm sure that there's a Hell

Out in the night, the cicadas sing their song!
Out in the night, the cicadas sing their song!
