Last Bridge 03:08
lyrics
Twilight's staring me in the face My life's starting to take its place I've been walking in circles and riding waves Til the beach is all washed out This might be the last bridge to another land And I'm washed up on the shore I can feel my toes sinking down on the sand I know there has to be more There has to be more I've been watching the growth of the evergreen Dreaming in colors I've never seen Counting the times you've said to me In time it'll all work out This might be the last bridge to another land And I'm washed up on the shore I can feel my toes sinking down on the sand I know there has to be more There has to be more

Through the Night 03:52
lyrics
Fragments passing into the light, through the night Magnifying past passages cut through time, backwards is so sublime But it only shows that I'm losing my reasons why I decided to build a home in the present time So I turn the filter on and I'm back to the program instructions I laid out So that I can control all the functions I need to decide my future Even if I can't see the infinite beauty of every moment that makes it all worth being alive I will survive Through the night, I'll always find a road Through the night, through the night, I'll always find a home I will Open up my eyes Break me free from inside Lights are flashing, voices clashing Nothing matters to me Show me what I hide I'm at war with my pieces, I wanna say more with my thesis But the door that releases truth from the world into the mind is one that Only can be opened from behind It's accidental by design Cracking mental borderlines Asking what and where and why is a start But the science is harder than the math Because it involves walking an uncertain path The journey is the destination There's no final resting station Right now is the best occasion Do your best and just be patient Open up my eyes Break me free from inside Lights are flashing, voices clashing Nothing matters to me Show me what I hide Through the night, I'll always find my way Through the night, through the night, I'll always find my way I will Take away my pride Break me free from inside Lights are flashing, voices clashing Nothing matters to me Show me what I hide

Flutter 03:57
lyrics
Canyon depths below me The sun emerges slowly The wind invites me to fly Staring at the distance Pausing for an instant Will the earth betray me if I try Running from the start with nothing but a daydream Tough on your heart, it's harder than it may seem Thought you knew just what to do Had enough to get you through Gather up fuel to keep the fire going Don't be a fool, don't say you're all knowing Thought you knew just what to say Now you'll have to find your way All I wanted was a clear day All I wanted was a sure way All I wanted was a clear day All I wanted was a sure way

Wasting My Time 03:17
lyrics
Streetlights shining on empty pavement Watch wondering where the day went Still counting up every payment I have to make to myself Find beauty in isolation I've got time but no motivation Like a cheap motel vacation Wasting my time Aching inside Give up my pride For the stars to align Watching the days Chasing the tide Wasting my time On beautiful lies How did I get so far away I'm not done, but I've run out of things to say Hope to find courage in the light of another day All we do with our time is entertain Make distactions to push the fear away Time's changing us all, we've all lost our way Wasting my time Aching inside Give up my pride For the stars to align Watching the days Chasing the tide Wasting my time On beautiful lies Wasting my time (wasting my time) Wasting my time (wasting my time) Wasting my time (wasting my time) Away Wasting my time (wasting my time) Wasting my time (wasting my time) Wasting my time (wasting my time) Away Wasting my time Aching inside Give up my pride For the stars to align Watching the days Chasing the tide Wasting my time On beautiful lies

Learning How to Breathe 04:02
lyrics
(Taking control, saving my soul, taking its toll) (Taking control, saving my soul, taking its toll) Learning how to breathe Learning how to breathe Learning how to breathe Learning how to breathe Traveling past the city lights I don't know where I'll stay tonight But I want to know How long til you fly off the handle How long til you blow out the candle How long til you find what you're after How long til impending disaster Learning how to breathe Learning how to breathe Learning how to breathe Learning how to breathe Traveling far into the night I can't tell what's wrong or right But I want to know How long til you fly off the handle How long til you blow out the candle (I wanna know) How long til you find what you're after How long til impending disaster Learning how to breathe Learning how to breathe Learning how to breathe Learning how to breathe

Take Your Time 03:40
lyrics
We're nature's underlings We deal with subtle things You'll only see them if you try We're marching down the halls No one will hear our calls Who wants to bet that we can't fly We face our fears alone As our momentum drones Pushing forward from the past Worshiping tenderly Spiraling endlessly Til we are finally free at last Take your time You will know You will know Take your time (just take your time, just take your time) You will know You will know

For Nothing 04:07
lyrics
I was your friend Where did it end How did we get so far away You drew the line Straight through my mind Just when you had something to say And I will hide the truth for nothing When nothing comes my way And nothing's here to stay You fought so long To prove I was wrong To prove that the truth was on your side Stood on the shore Hoping for more Open gates and let in the tide And I will hide the truth for nothing When nothing comes my way And nothing's here to stay And nothing's here to stay

Change 04:41
lyrics
Play me how you want Paint me how you like It doesn't matter now Cause we're underneath the light It's been so many years And you haven't changed a bit I've shed so many tears But I'm so different Everything you thought would make me weaker Has made my perception deeper Everything you thought would make you stronger Has made your suffering longer And I have seen your weakness all along And I, I know it won't be very long So change your ways Sink or swim The end of days Is rolling in You took away my youth You put poison in my eyes We're standing on the truth But the path is paved with lies And I, I know it doesn't change a thing But I just can't stop wondering Every lie was truth in your eyes Every time you fought to survive All you ever wanted was to be loved I've heard your story a thousand times I believe the passion in your eyes But I can't help you if you won't rise above So change your ways Sink or swim The end of days Is rolling in Change your ways Sink or swim The end of days Is rolling in
