Dust to Dust 05:39
What's behind the face I see Lover, friend, or enemy? We never tried to understand The dreams I had, the things that you had planned Crossing the line, a bottle of wine Just give me a sign There must be something more Something in the games we play Something in the words we trade We don't mean them anyway Can we start again? Don't believe in destiny Fate as ideology A nest of ashes, ball of flames The phoenix dies to rise and live again The stars are aligned, a bottle of wine Tell me your sign Just give me something more Something to communicate Something to uncomplicate Hold me now the hour is late Can we start again? The breath of life begins Refuse the hurt within I'll follow through, to break away I'll start anew Fire of life encompass me Take me forth intrepidly Release my problems, do not mourn Absolve my sins so I can be reborn Crossing the line, a bottle of wine Just give me a sign Just give me something more Something to enlighten me Something to ignite in me Nothing else could frighten me Can we start again? From dust to dust again The embers heal my skin I'll follow through, the things I say, the things I do The breath of life begins Refuse the hurt within I'll follow through, to break away I'll start, I'll start anew

Goodbye 04:00
I see the empty room within my mind Staring at an empty page the words are hard to find Vanished in the distance of the night Roses in an empty vase still take their time to die And there's no one there to say goodbye No one there to say goodbye Withered weathered worn by your unease Tired tried and teary-eyed, you've been so hard to please Nothing I can say the truth unfolds Winter's never come so fast and never felt so cold And there's no one left to say goodbye No one left to say goodbye Spirits of your cry haunt my sleepless night Singing helpless midnight chime Memories of the past, echoes fading fast No one there to say goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Scarred 05:12
All these nights alone in silence I called you on the phone Now you're nowhere to be found All my nerves have come unwound All the times when my friends were close Well, their words were oh so clear Now they've left me here alone A fear that chills me to the bone Always made to make decisions Politicians, guns, religions When the dust has cleared away I'll still be here to say That if love is not the reason That we ended up together Then I guess it's time to break it Time to take it away All these nights in my seclusion Within the same four walls Something races through my vein Scars of love and scars of pain The shadows walk and the windows talk But they keep me company I wish something would intrude Break the walls of solitude Always tied to modern fashion Male egos, no compassion When the time has ticked away I'll still be here to say That if love is not the reason That we ended up together Then I guess it's time to break it Time to take it away

I woke up this morning Time slipped away Somehow I'm just not the same Everything's changed Faces are older and friends disappeared Somehow I'm still standing here Better years over I will not concede All that I want and all that I need I can't make decisions I just make mistakes When I try to fix things they just seem to break It's hard enough living when everything's going my way Spring rain is falling It washes away Everything I might have been In my yesterday Much like myself when I have a good thing I somehow let it slip away It's not that I want to or revel in pain I simply can't cope, I sometimes lose hope I can't make decisions I just make mistakes When I try to fix things they just seem to break It's hard enough living when everything's going my way When time takes away everything that I love I have to move on and I have to be stronger than my sacrifices I have to keep living each day

The Answer 03:49
I don’t claim to know how you feel, or what you’ve been through I won’t try to solve all your problems, or give mine to you Your castles were built in the air, the ruins remain You’re certain that life is unfair, but never complain A light always shines through the window, it shines upon you Who fights when the world tears you down, it has to be you You carefully choose all your words, sufficient disguise The struggle your spirit retains appears in your eyes You go through the motions, you feel the walls closing in You search for the answer outside that comes from within A light always shines through the window, it shines upon you Who fights when the world tears you down, it has to be you There’s so much to do Understand me, I’ll understand you A light always shines through the window, it shines upon you Who fights when the world tears you down, it has to be you

Standing alone in the pouring rain Counting the days Wiping the tears from my broken face Dagger of conscience sweltering shame Drifting away Lingering embers of your embrace Does nothing ever change I've fallen on my knees Crawling in the rain You've taken all I need There's nothing left to gain Falling far away from everything that I believe You've got me on my knees You scratch me till I bleed The moment of truth The tragedy of fear The innocence of youth That left me stranded here The voices that I hear all in the dead of night appear The comfort of my dreams is never as it seems Never as it seems Filtering thoughts for the ones I prefer Passing the time Praying for remnants of long lost grace Moment of conflict Crisis or truth Barren or sheltered Burden of proof Moment of silence Whisper or fear A struggle just to breathe I've fallen on my knees Crawling in the rain You've taken all I need There's nothing left to gain Falling far away from everything that I believe You've got me on my knees You scratch me till I bleed The moment of truth The tragedy of fear The innocence of youth That left me stranded here The voices that I hear all in the dead of night appear The comfort of my dreams is never as it seems I've fallen on my knees Crawling in the rain You've taken all I need There's nothing left to gain Falling far away from everything that I believe You've got me on my knees You scratch me till I bleed The moment of truth The tragedy of fear The innocence of youth That left me stranded here The voices that I hear all in the dead of night appear The comfort of my dreams is never as it seems Never as it seems

I'm locked within these self-made bars I'll throw away the key The perfect way to pass the time The perfect place to be A prisoner of fate could never measure up to me A fragile coexistence flattened sensibilities A pitch black night to scale the wall You try to set me free A minute's haste an hour's waste A sense of urgency A bridge to your discomfort being human caused to learn A minor complication such a major crash and burn A pain so sharp and endless Shame, rejection makes it worse A longing for perfection Puts your heart into reverse A note to cry deception masquerading in your fold The consequence of apathy could leave you in the cold

Water's Edge 05:12
Tell me things that make you laugh or cry The rivers running wide, the storms swell in the tide Tell me what you want to see in me Who I really am, or who I'm supposed to be It wasn't my intention to stand in misdirection The edge of the water seemed so deep Our lives still lay before us Alone we sing the chorus that once defined a promise yet to keep Some will only do as they are told With nothing new to say, their voices swept away Safe within the need to compromise Convention is your norm, you promise to conform It wasn't my intention to stand in misdirection The edge of the water seemed so deep Our lives still lay before us Our promises implore us to offer the forgiveness that we seek The best of times can say just how you feel Words can be like silence Hollow till they're backed with something real The worst of times conceal It wasn't my intention to stand in misdirection The edge of the water seemed so deep Our lives still lay before us Together sing the chorus that once defined a promise yet to keep

Autumn Day 04:50
Fall is in your rearview mirror changing with each turn Painted trees defend the morning pass Rest her head, she'd rather sleep than face the day ahead Nothing she would keep was made to last We used to be, we used to dream We used to laugh and dance and sing We never thought that anything would change We hurt each other, hurt ourselves We tried to find what makes us well The hurting that we never could explain Locked behind a light facade, the day defies her mask Pisces in a sea of broken glass Today is yesterday again, tomorrow just the same Look forward to the future feel the past This pain will pass We used to be, we used to dream We used to laugh and dance and sing We never thought that anything would change We hurt our children, hurt ourselves We tried to find what makes us well The hurting that we never could explain We speak in words of anger Don't we think in words of love If we try to speak forgiveness Will it ever be enough We hurt each other, hurt ourselves We tried to find what makes us well The hurting that we never could explain

The Lens 04:52
Gaze into your privacy The camera-eye observes The sense of guilty pleasure you define Lost in trust and honesty A silent voice unnerves To tell a different story now To tell your truth to tell your fears You're raise by fire, raised by rage And taught to disengage They can keep you in that cage There's no one, no one, no one, no one here He never said why he was leaving home alone The thoughts that travelled with him The fuel that would not burn Lost in the torment of your mind In the world that you design In the struggle for your soul Caught in the lens of cold deceit In the secrets that you keep In the way they treat you Cruel, unfair, you fight despair Summer's passed, the hourglass will drop the sands of time They can make you toe the line There's no one, no one, no one, no one here She never said why she was leaving home alone The thoughts that travelled with her The lessons left unlearned

Faded Lines 04:41
The simplest things I remember Impressions considered before Thin fragments veiled in white A bleached out still, I couldn't ignore I stop and stare in reflection Each image, the struggle it cost The priceless memories clearly framed in my mind An element lost Come in and stay a while The drinks are cold, our lives on trial The pictures, faded lines The conversation keeps them so alive, alive The sounds of youth I remember The songs that yesterday bore Contagious fragments all engraved with a style Emotions explored I feel the mercury rise Detains indefinitely I play them on repeat I couldn't explain, the spirit remains Come in and stay a while The drinks are cold, our lives on trial The lyrics, faded lines The conversation keeps them so alive, alive
