Grieving Process
02:44
|
|||
Blame it all on the world,
As you stand there with that,
Flag unfurled,
Grieve in the way you know best,
Keep all those emotions,
Deep inside your chest
Hate now
Turn upon yourself,
Reach for the bottle,
It’s on that shelf,
Drown your thoughts today,
You know it’s the only way,
To stop the pain
Bleed now
Now you will lose your head,
With your eyes cast aside,
In the valley of death
How will you fight through the storm?
When your faith has been torn,
And their eyes fill with scorn,
Burn now
Rise from you barren grave,
And try to deny things,
You always craved.
Disguise the hate in your heart,
Always remember you were,
There from the start
Breathe now
Drink from the fountain,
In a daze of hopes and dreams,
Life is just a mountain,
It’s crumbling under me,
I won’t be the last one,
To climb the heights,
And touch the sun.
Live now

Capsize
03:48
|
|||
When boredom becomes boring,
And you search this empty house,
There’s nothing but dusty drawings,
Of this dirty town
As life’s swiftly moving,
You cannot find your feet,
You’re terrified of losing,
Awaiting your defeat
If I lived life by the bottle,
Would I see many years?
Would I discard all my sorrows?
My doubts and my fears?
Would I sail upon the forewind?
Or would I capsize in the sea?
I can’t right this ship alone,
Won’t you reach out to me?
Tide after tide,
Is drifting in today,
The anchor lines have broken,
It’s washing you away
You’ll never catch up now,
It’s all happened too fast,
So sit back my brother,
Open your beloved flask
Capsize, into the ocean,
Drowning, can’t find my feet

Away Today
02:58
|

His head is held high,
As they lead him to the tree,
And with a look of fear in his eyes,
He says “You’ll never silence me”
He’s walking down that path today,
With no love to be found,
And the people have gathered,
From all corners of the town
They’re taking his life away,
Over across the seas today,
He let out a mighty call,
“The gallows will make brothers of us all”
Sitting in the tavern,
They found him drunk and alone,
The officer told him,
“Son it’s time you went home”
His life’s disappearing,
Yet he will never change,
Alone in his cell he could not,
Bring himself to pray
Redemption was not his cry,
Attrition was what he’d find,
Conditioned to this life

Disconnect
03:30
|
|||
Fear will always call your name,
Fear will always stoke the flame,
Fear will always take its hold,
Fear will always leave you cold
Now I’m running blinded,
Through my insecurities,
I wanted guidance,
But you abandoned me,
Now I’m standing,
On the path I’ll call my own,
I never thought that you’d,
Leave me here alone
Pride will always make you talk,
Pride will always start the fall,
Pride will always bring you doubt,
Pride will always spit you out
Love will always help you stand,
Love will always hold your hand,
Love will always make it known,
That love will always call you home!
Disconnect, my soul,
Disconnect, it all,
Disconnect, I can’t,
Disconnect, grow old

Letter to Home
03:12
|
|||
This is a letter home,
Reaching back across the years,
This is my broken hope,
Product of all my fears
Tell my friends it’s alright,
Tell my friends it’s looking bright,
Tell my friends I’m doing fine,
Tell my friends to sleep at night
This is a letter home,
Addressed to my family,
These are my broken bones,
It’s all going fine for me
Tell my family I’m okay,
Tell my family I found a way,
Tell my family not to mourn,
Tell my family I’m here to stay
This is a letter home,
From the depths of my heart,
This is my bar of soap,
Will it set me apart?
Tell my Father I have sinned,
Tell my Father where I’ve been,
Tell my Father to take heart,
I just want to be like Him
