Hope is gone, but I won’t jump the barricade For fear that others could make it Don’t leave my side again If nothing is real why do I have to fake it? In this sea of fear and judgment I will lay my head But the truth is somewhere I can’t reach from my bed The bigger they are, the harder we fall I wish I could forget it all Now hope is lost, for those who are so small It’s always too much or never enough The hand that feeds may call my bluff Revealing what’s inside my broken doll I let go what ought never to have been unseen I know this pain and I know I’ve been here before I will never learn my lesson hanging by my nails It’s only a matter of time before I fly from the rails And now I’m back where I started The page turns but I’m nowhere near the end It’s clear that I won’t sleep until I say goodbye The bigger they are, the harder we fall I wish I could forget it all Now hope is lost, for those who are so small It’s always too much or never enough The hand that feeds may call my bluff Revealing what’s inside my broken doll

Paper Skies 04:04
Lie to me of days gone by As neon lights, they linger Cast aside prophetic skylines Making way for empty Soulless vistas, all devouring light The shroud of grey Confronted by a fathomless paper sky Feast your eyes, there’s no end in sight Scattered shards of a vibrant day gone astray End the days of no surrender All the faith that passed you by Say goodbye to toxic wonder Cross your heart and hope to stay alive So keep us restless and world-weary, homeward-bound We pray for a calm, without the almighty requisite storm ...but that’s so cliché Like the ghost of a distant summer I think it's time to let go Powdered wings on the empty doorstep Show me what you really know End the days of no surrender All the faith that passed you by Say goodbye to toxic wonder Cross your heart and hope to stay alive But these roads don't lead anywhere I want to go But home And the grey feels like everything I've ever known City lights cast shadow vistas stretching on and on So far and wide Like a tempest, wild and reckless Spreading fire from the earth Into the plain and vacant sky End the days of no surrender All the faith that passed you by Say goodbye to toxic wonder Cross your heart and hope to stay alive

Swept Away 03:28
She came to me again last night But fled with the light and left me wondering Can I get away from this Delusion of others’ borrowed bliss A kiss so subtle that no one can see But it’s not for me and it will never stay Ever bound in fantasy I know there’s nothing here for me I don’t care if I’m never free again And I don’t care if the water rushes in Struggling to find my feet as it all falls down around me Close my eyes and try to run as I hit the ground Love may never return to the fold But suffer for me that I might hear you say: “Only in a dream my dear” I guess I’ll wait for something clear I don’t care if I’m never free again And I don’t care if the water rushes in Waiting for it all to drop, though this pain may never stop I don’t care if I’m never free, never free again So sink your claws into me, like cables deep in the sea Sustaining you keeps me weak So drain the ocean and take what you came for I don’t care if I’m never free again And I don’t care if the water rushes in Waiting for it all to drop, though this pain may never stop I don’t care if I’m never free, never free again

Silver 04:10
Empty nights, the best pretender Another way to misremember the fire That your love has put out The situation's back in focus I can't believe I never noticed how quietly You followed me down A subtle hint that no one sees A hope that you won't think of me In the night when you're alone And your thoughts all turn to home That I never thought I'd be I can't see anything today It feels like nothing's going to change The daylight blinds the liar But I find it takes me higher And now it's been so long I can't remember Narrowed eyes, and words unspoken No feelings that you'd want have awoken And silence is a gift I can give Broken down, not broken out There's nothing left to talk about And I can't just close the rift and forgive I've had enough of sympathy I can't recall the quiet place Where all those feelings went No healing reticence Just please, please leave me be I can't see anything today It feels like nothing's going to change The daylight blinds the liar But I find it takes me higher I thought I'd come so far Time keeps rushing by Another day, another collar Praying that you'll find It doesn't feel the way it ought to Now I've Come to realize You stand With your silvered knives Cut deep Give me room to bleed Are we silver now? I can't see anything today I can't see anything today

Am I alone? Another stream of guilty conscience Will you return? And point the finger at me this time My sins may own a special place in this square of heaven Beyond the border of the clouds a demon awaits in the sky Was I afraid? I’d rather think that I was cautious Impossibilities again appear to entangle me Say what you will but I at least think that I was honest A blessing in disguise, I look for pain to set me free This is the end of disintegration Too many witness to our association This is the end of intoxication No more pretending, it’s time to cut and run This city burns against the banner of cold stagnation The water ran with blood so long ago but we never learned Now turn away, we’ve long known there’s no reason And no use saving what would never do the same in return Damage done with shattered stone Now drag another to atone The faith and praise you stole from me Will soon return to set me free This is the end of disintegration Too many witness to our association This is the end of intoxication No more pretending, it’s time to cut and run Alone, so far beyond the veil Break another vow, I don’t want to start over Free, begin another tale Look again to the light, but learn to hold the dark closer
