Cross the line a few times just feel what it’s Like to defy who you’re supposed to be every once in a while From time to time I know that I can be reckless But I’m telling you it’s worth it ‘cause the look on your face is perfectly Priceless (priceless); when you can’t seem to speak And all your words are so weak to me Speechless (speechless); take what you’ve said in the past And go shove it in your pipe Everything that’s in our past has made impressions on The paths that we’ve walked, the dreams that we’ve talked of It’s so hard to breathe when all the air surrounding Is so god damned grounding to the routine swing of things But I can help you; I can help you see A little more clearly With a subtle sip of clarity Drop everything you know and just be free Well they can carve the bark of your tree, carve your evergreen Canvas, but I will be unshaken by the practice they preach Step out of line and make a scene just to See what I mean ‘cause the look on their face will always be Priceless (priceless); when they can’t seem to speak And all their words are so weak to me Speechless (speechless); take what they’ve said in the past And make them shove it in their pipe Everything that’s in our past has made impressions on The paths that we’ve walked, the dreams that we’ve talked of It’s so hard to breathe when all the air surrounding Is so god damned grounding to the routine swing of things But I can help you; I can help you see A little more clearly With a subtle sip of clarity Drop everything you know and just be free

Eventide 03:16
Why does time seem to move so slowly? All the tides flow in and the sand beneath our feet is the only thing Keeping me from running after you, breaking the rules until the Sun goes down; wave after wave of the ocean crashing is the only sound There’s a presence of a permanent essence That leaves your smile glowing effervescently Follow the line that’s defined by the way you’re looking at me And bring you closer now, bring you closer to me All the lights fade out and I’m listening for the words you don’t have to speak Your eyes give everything away that you’re trying to hide, trying to keep from me; (well) I’ve seen, and I’ve known, and I’ve fallen; for the way that you lure me in with your ruse Just know that we’ve got nothing to lose There’s a presence of a permanent essence That leaves your smile glowing effervescently Follow the line that’s defined by the way you’re looking at me And bring you closer now, bring you closer to me I’ve seen the way you can light up a whole room And I know there’s only one thing left for me to do So I’llI hold you tight And we’ll watch ourselves unfold into the eventide You are the only thing that’s keeping me together and You can take what I’ve made best and make it better

Satellites 04:53
I don’t think that I’ve ever understood Why you would call just to hear the sound of my voice until This very moment and I hate that I Can only learn the hard way; never poised from anyone else’s mistakes Rewind these tapes; and play them all back just to see your face Take one more gaze into your eyes and I’ll pretend that that I’m alright, (but...) The air is so thick and my lungs feel like they’re caving in Constantly I’m waiting for the day I get to see you again Maybe if I put it down on paper, My hands will stop shaking and my words will stop wavering You have slipped behind the silver lined veil And you have left me with this feeling That the world won’t stop reverberating and the ground won’t stop shifting ‘Cause I can’t do this on my own, But I know I’m not alone if I keep a part of you alive in me I’ll be here looking to the sky And I know you’re up there somewhere looking down from all the satellites Maybe you have forgotten everything, but I can still Remember your patience Thank you for killing me with kindness, teaching me to stand straight, And how a smile can go a hell of a long way It’s such a shame that I didn’t get to say it quite enough But I will always believe that every part of you is with me, (but...) The air is so thick and my lungs feel like they’re caving in Constantly I’m waiting for the day I get to see you again Maybe if I put it down on paper, My hands will stop shaking and my words will stop wavering You have slipped behind the silver lined veil And you have left me with this feeling That the world won’t stop reverberating and the ground won’t stop shifting 'Cause I can’t do this on my own, But I know I’m not alone if I keep a part of you alive in me I’ll be here looking to the sky And I know you’re up there somewhere looking down from all the satellites You will be my cherished escape

Faceless 04:16
Not everything’s always been this way; Bend the rules back and they’ll sway in your favor I can’t believe that it’s a game to you, play by play The taste is so bitter, but the liquor won’t save you now Everything I’ve ever known about you’s been erased, it’s Haunting how you’ve only changed into a liar, a deceiver and a person; so faithless Has it been so long that you’ve buried whats left so you can fall from grace again How could you be so tasteless; crooked and distorted, so hollow, so faceless I’ve can see what you’re trying to say, but your body’s painting every single shade of gray, can’t you por- -tray your thoughts without being so vague and be straight with me for once in your life so I can Break free from the undertones and separate myself from the unknown My faith has been stretched too thin and the only way home is to find my self again Can’t you confront me with some decency, face to face Let me let go and I’ll let you be on your way Cross your fingers for a promise, cross the truth with the times that we said goodbye But hold your tongue before you say another word because Not all wounds heal with time Everything I’ve ever known about you’s been erased, it’s Haunting how you’ve only changed into a liar, a deceiver and a person; so faithless Has it been so long that you’ve buried whats left so you can fall from grace again How could you be so tasteless; crooked and distorted, so hollow, so faceless I’ve can see what you’re trying to say, but your body’s painting every single shade of gray, can’t you por- -tray your thoughts without being so vague and be straight with me for once in your life so I can Break free from the undertones and separate myself from the unknown My faith has been stretched too thin and the only way home is to find my self again

I Believe 04:15
Shed your skin and let go of the cold, gray hues of your past and see I made a promise I’m gonna keep Touch my lips to your fingertips, know that no matter how hard it may seem It’s easy to believe in me I believe in an air that grows thin, that lets you breathe easier and easier again I’ve been weaving this idea that it all transcends into the balance and then We’ll walk the bricks of these streets and fall into the life of these city lights As you breathe out, it breathes us into the night, into the night Burn the bridges that tie you to the old, frayed moments elapsed and leave The embers to fade gradually No one thing can keep holding you down; fall free through the clouds and then Try to feel something real again I believe in an air that grows thin, that lets you breathe easier and easier again I’ve been weaving this idea that it all transcends into the balance and then We’ll walk the bricks of these streets and fall into the life of these city lights As you breathe out, it breathes us into the night, into the night Keep your eyes closed Feel the wind blow Softly inside of you, take a deep breath a few times And leave your last life behind
