In a thousand bitter years,
will we remember all our woes?
Or will we rest beside our mothers,
fathers, and our foes?
And when we finally find the answers
to the questions of our own,
will our graves still lie
before us and be our home?
Will we ever be removed from this dark dream?
Oh but you will.
From all the filthy shades of white
that coat the streets where we roam,
to all the coasts of California,
the only place I'd ever called home,
there's a darkness that surrounds us
like the air we breathe in our lungs.
It fills us up.

Awakening

|
|

|
We may not know it yet,
but our time will be revealed
as our bones decay
in the graves we are sealed.
When silence stills our souls
the earth becomes our home.
Darkness will have won
as the night takes hold.
When I look out past
the setting sun,
I wonder where my heart;
where my heart has gone.
Please don't runaway,
please don't leave.
I'm sorry for everything.
I'm sorry.
I know I'll never change;
I'll never change.

Oh tender love,
where have you gone?
I've searched all my life
with a helpless heart.
Put my tired eyes to rest.
Oh restless hands
with a suitcase full,
is it all so contrived
that you've got to go?
The grass is green,
but it's not your home.
Our time is short
but we're not alone.

Favor

|
Will you be with me,
like the doves reside with you?
Watch as my memories
tear your world in two.
What did your mother say
when your hair fell out?
Were you still lovely
there upon the playground?
But don't you know
it's all the same?
Heart of my own,
don't run away.
And if i cry,
it's for your sake.
Heart of my own,
don't run away.

Funeral
05:20
|
|
||
|
Can you see my face
in the shadows of this grave?
I live alone,
in the darkness; on my own.
Am I a disgrace?
Is there more to this than faith?
One who wants like I do?
It's not true, it's not...
Truth is a game,
and it's played by the same
men who want like I do,
to see you.
I long for the day
when I feel no pain,
but will it come for me?
Will you come for me?

Years of memories have passed.
We're still here now,
navigating by the stars.
What have we found?
Are we explorers on our own?
Or are we lost,
searching for a place to go
beneath the sun?
I never knew what these mountains would mean,
until we stood on their peak.
There's a whole world out there
and we're gonna go get it.
Because we're never coming home,
because we're not dead yet.

Bound
04:35
|
|
||
|
I hold it all inside
like the mice in my kitchen at night.
I let it all out
when no one's around.
I hold my hands so close,
because they shake wherever i go.
They knock down
everything.
Here I am,
no self made man.
Here I am
I'm not gonna change.

Stay
04:49
|
|

I can see the evening’s fading
like my own breath in the air,
Seems this life is just beginning
and I can't bring myself to care;
but it's all I've ever wanted,
all that I could never be,
so I'll stay.
I can't escape this desire
to be more than who I am,
and I don't want to wonder
what my life is without them.
And in time, I promise,
I can be a better man,
so I'll stay.
I can feel earth below me
drawing closer with every tear.
It's just sometimes I can't remember
why the hell I'm even here.
Maybe hope is in forgiveness,
but I can't see it on my own,
so I'll stay.

Don't give up hope.
I know that tone,
I know your fears, your worrisome soul.
Before our time,
men gave their lives,
to seek the answers, and never arrive.
Maybe it was all just pretend;
for fear that nothing would be left.
But I never had a better friend
to see it to the end.
With winter's breath,
we've seen the end
to all that grows and we'll die again,
But we don't live
for living’s sake.
The earth, it breathes for its people.
Maybe it was all just pretend;
for fear that nothing would be left.
But I never had a better friend
to see it to the end.

Emet

The stars up above,
like grains of sand,
are washed in a seashore
that ever expands.
I sit on the front porch
and drink it in:
That all of my loved ones
will soon greet death.
Don't grow old.
What is the purpose
of this life,
but to leave me distracted
by a false sense of time?
Manic but downcast
I'm a wreck,
and covered in earth,
I'll soon greet death.
Don't grow old.
