The Voice Behind Me

It’s the day everything turned meaningless
Eternity may pass before I can clear my head
Eternity may pass before I resist this fog
The air is heavy, the light is blackening, nothing to do but just rot away
What is this voice I hear?
When will you show your face?
It’s like you’re the moon that haunts me
I wish for only a clear sky
The fog clears and I see your form, the final image in head. All hell breaks loose as your figure burns into my skull for the last time, the final image in my head.
When will I ever know
Why you’ve forsaken me?
It’s like you’re the moon that haunts me
I wish for only a clear sky
You are the ghost I feared.

Divisions
04:36

We walk our parallel paths with no glimmer in our eyes, for the passion deep inside us drains all to emptiness. No way to change, no way to end.
An estimated love falls too short
It doesn’t have to hurt
I’m not too sure
What lies between us
Caught in a system neither of us could ever control. We burn to ash every time we try. This portrait of a perfect life has fallen again and again.
An estimated love falls too short
It doesn’t have to hurt
I’m not too sure
What lies between us
I will never give in
Under an iron wall
I’m not too sure
What lies between us
I’m not eternal
I won’t waste this chance

The pumpkins sing but the geese die
Nothing else to sing about but stupid munchkins
Open wide, kids! I’m gonna GRAPE you in the mouth!
You know, the thing about tying them to the radiator is... it doesn't really make the process any easier, it just makes it look more impressive, so... it's still a good thing to do.
The pumpkins sing but the geese die
The pumpkins sing but the geese die
People are always asking me, "what's the hardest part about being a cone?" and I say, "eating, of course... it's like trying to floss a cat.
All right, I got another question for you guys. Why do mermaids wear sea shell bras? Because they can’t fit into D shells.
How do you end up at UW when you’re trying to get from Kirkland to Redmond? It just doesn’t make any sense.
The pumpkins sing but the geese die

At the Last
04:01
|

Slaves to consistency, I don’t want to see your faces, only the fallen hopes.
Now they walk the paths of darkness. It’s not night, they just won’t let the sun invade their hollow spectrum, filled with thoughts of how to end the walk that they run every day. Nothing else to do with life now that humanity has turned on itself.
Now they take upon the burden of becoming yet another. Though they say that they’re so human, they don’t take the form as common people. Do we kill every one, or do they have something that we lack in honesty?
At the last we will be repaid.

It’s been two years now
Since you’ve talked to me
Each moment’s longer than the last
This deafening silence screams to be resolved
The tension threshold is surpassed
Not the way things had to be
Unassuming gall
Hope for reciprocity
I take my face off
I won’t say anything at all
Your voice is music, let it all out
I’ve never felt so far away from you
But here I am and there you are
I saw you in the crowd, you looked at me
And I knew then we had to talk
Your face burns into my eyes
Your lips part to speak
A lump catches in your mouth
As you start to weep
I won’t say anything at all
Your voice is music, let it all out
I just want to let you talk
I won’t say anything at all
And I won’t say anything
And I won’t say anything
And I won’t say anything
And I won’t say, I won’t say, I won’t say anything

Through Every Night
03:54
|

A spark inside each darkened mind
A hope that reigns through every night
A spark, a hope
Every time we’re lost
Every time we can’t get up
You ignite the idle soul
You alone can bring us home
Just like the failures of our past
This song will never hope to do justice to your name
But I can’t stop singing your praises, Lord
You’ve become a part of who I am
Every moment drifting from the truth
You brought me back to light
Every time I just fell short
You were there to pull me through
You have always been
An endless reservoir of love to me
You will always be my Lord
This will never change
A gift of mercy
Weakly answered by our feeble praise
I will follow you
Every day
In every way
My God

Memories
04:11

Remember the night when everything was perfect, our thoughts were as one. Remember the night when time stopped before us and all we knew is you and me are in this room, and all I can see is your gorgeous face.
Well lately I’ve been trapped into a corner of the mind where frankly I can’t see any thoughts but those you’re putting in my head. And let’s be honest, the things you say aren’t always met with honesty.
And as I continue on my search for truth in what you’ve said to me, I see a spark of hope flash forward, for I know you once loved, your heart once shone bright as the sun. But the spark is gone. I don’t know what’s happened to us. Please restore me to some sense of love.
You put these chains here on my heart. I never knew they could pull so hard. You held my heart so faithfully, so perfectly, but now I don’t know what’s happened to us. Please restore me to some sense of love. Restore me to some sense of hope.
I’m losing you and yet I can’t imagine a life led without you. Please take this from me, the silence that rips me wide open.
I know we can never be together in a perfect life but I thought that we could at least try. It’s like I never meant a thing to but a vacant love in an empty dream but I can tell you for a fact that I meant every word and I can’t believe that you and me will leave this room no more to each other than memories.

Live in the Present
02:57
|

Sometimes you’re just stuck in the past
In the memories here to last
Living with ghosts, you become one
Not a thing matters anymore
Live in the present
It’s the only thing worth trying for
Live in the present
It’s the only thing worth dying for
Some turn to the future
To dreams and possibilities
But when reality strikes
And something crumbles, there’s nothing left
Live in the present
It’s the only thing worth trying for
Live in the present
It’s the only thing worth dying for
The best days in the world
Are the ones lived for themselves
Without memory or forward view
Just choose what you want to do
Live in the present
It’s the only thing worth trying for
Live in the present
It’s the only thing worth dying for

Diagnosis

And so you’ve realized that your struggle
Brought no fruit to the table
Once you’ve wasted all you have
On selfishness’ greed
What do you really want?
What is it you really seek?
I know the glimmer in your eye
It craves a dying passion
I see the sorrow in your dying heart
Underneath the frantic skin
Crying out to stop the waste you live
As it is, we all can see
Throughout all your lively days
Never once did you try to fight for
Anything greater than yourself
You need to back up,
Look back at your life
As it is, you do not
Realize what truly drives you
Back up, look again

Untold
03:45
|

|
There exists beneath the surface
Another scene, the underground
Here we are: the force that fights forwards
Go ahead, think about how important yours is
Go to bed, wake again, go to bed, dream of life
Life is yours, in your hands
Yet you choose the easy path
You can always do this
But you’ll never feel the same as us
We are the story that is untold
But a spirit that engulfs us all
Must our cries remain unheard?
We are but four among millions crying,
Hear my words
So don’t get up, out of bed
Till you see there’s more to this
Don’t complain, scream aloud
Till you’ve made your path, an honest choice

Feel Anything
04:43
|

|
I still feel your eyes burning holes through me every time I take a step into your life to get to your inside, to get beyond the blank and empty stare. Don’t make me look below, let me look inside.
Throw away the pride, throw away the thought of leading your whole entire life one hundred percent fully pure and follow my eyes down into the vast unknown.
I’ve lived too long to think these thoughts are my own evil, selfish will. I’ve lived too long to think your thoughts wouldn’t turn to action if they could.
Come back... feel, it’s just you and me. Come on back with me, feel again what you’re worth. I know I’ll never be a perfect answer and the key to your heart is still out of sight but I don’t care. I swear I don’t care.
I’ll just do what it takes to make it so we can feel something. All I really know is I just want to feel anything.
Out just one window of our lives, it’d be nice to see the sun shine through and the pressure leave. Out of the ashes of our past, it’d sure be nice to see a blossom shine.
Feel again. You’re worth more than you know. Love is gone so let’s do whatever it takes.
I’ll just do what it takes to make it so we can feel something. All I really know is I just want to feel anything.

Not Forgotten
04:00
|

|
So much pressure to satisfy the needs of the mind, the body’s burden. My soul’s been trampled too long. So much apathy towards the loving spirit in my heart.
Have I already forgotten the joy of loving, the hope of breathing life, the reason we fight our own wars?
I’ll never be content this way, I’ll never fill the gap, I’ll never reach the end of my search for bliss, the endless bliss I seek.
Have I already forgotten the joy of loving, the hope of breathing life, the reason we fight our own wars?
I must treasure the love that still lives in me and fight to love again.
I will fight to love again.

We rode the rivers of the eastern trail
Deep in the land of the Rus
Following the wind in our sails
And the rhythm of the oars
No shelter in this hostile land
Constantly on guard
Ready to fight and defend
Our ship to the bitter end
We came under attack
I received a deadly wound
A spear was forced into my back
Still I fought on
When I am dead
Lay me in a mound
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory
Here I lay on the riverbank
A long, long way from home
Life is pouring out of me
Soon I will be gone
I tilt my head to the side
And think of those back home
I see the river rushing by
Like blood runs from my wounds
Here I lay on wet sand
I will not make it home
I clench my sword in my hand
Say farewell to those I love
When I am dead
Lay me in a mound
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory

Frozen

These days I can't find the strength to start again
I've torn apart my wretched past but the life now revived refuses to live
Broken beyond repair
How can I ignore what I have done?
How can I regain my self-respect?
I fear I never will
One day I'll be free
From my past, my lust, my pride
All I know is I can never do this on my own
Now I feel soft lips kissing off the tears from my cheeks
Now I glimpse warm hands uncovering the grip on my eyes, now clenched shut and frozen in fear

Reality no longer battles perception
This letter's written to no one
Sincere,
I sought your truth and divine purpose
Through myths of revelation
Guidance all wrapped up in a paper box
Supported only so long as my mind was the enemy
I could not in conscience hold on
As we face distress
We must not lose heart
Stand fast and press on
Triumph awaits
As we face distress
We must not lose heart
Stand fast and press on
Triumph awaits us
The powerful constant that I had once leaned on
Is no longer there
You call this shameful disbelief
A process like losing my closest friend
As we face distress
We must not lose heart
Stand fast and press on
Triumph awaits
As we face distress
We must not lose heart
Stand fast and press on
Triumph awaits us
Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart
Before we can rebuild them again
A greater foundation
I wish there was another way
But no amount of devotion can fix this
Triumph awaits
Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart
Before we can rebuild them again
A greater foundation
