Hollow Tree 05:02
Long gone with the wind See beyond the transparency Take me through the stream We bow down for the hollow tree There, then gone Led me on Came and left me broken Had to take some time It used to be fine We fall in line We go for blunder Year after year We’re going under There, then gone Led me on Came and left me broken Need to take some time Before we go live
2.
Endeavor 03:49
Part of this grand endeavor Dealt a dishonest hand Chained to the ground forever Willingly wronged indefinitely Feeling so cold and weary Aching to find a purpose This is the truth we carry: Striving and lying, never ending Never to hold an answer Ideals been fed from birth Living a heartless pattern Down to results, must mind the numbers We’re one of two together Intricately we share Each for our own we gather Moved on and left you empty handed Break me Off the tree Refined ideas unravels me
3.
Running around the water Chasing time Until I falter Next time Faster Push the limits Close I’d rather Improve my digits The numbers Running around in patterns Slowing down I know I’m closing in On you/And you as you You observe me Closely You adore me Slowly From a distance I’m encased under water Chased my prime Missed the moment Could not see My surroundings The reality Of you/From you I did Not observe you Enough I was blinded And I Kept my distance
4.
My thoughts wander off to a distant place This fear deep inside that I can not face Searching for redemption, a fleeting glance of light I want you to stay for the rest of the night It indicates a fallout, it leaves us all behind I’ve been so alone since the day she left Life feels so cold now Searching for redemption, a fleeting glance of light I want you to stay for the rest of your life Grant me your acceptance, until the day I die Be me Let me in I’m what I need Hold me Caress me I’m all I see Be me Let me in I’m all I see I foresaw my redemption, a fleeting glance of light The dark strayed away from my subconscious mind It indicates a notion of something yet to come
5.
Slowly realize the day has passed by my window sill It comes to me I was meant to be Somewhere else You could call me now Why won’t you call me now? I’ve been trying to live out for you to recognize I’m reshaping my own life before your eyes You can call me now Why won’t you call me now? I don’t think you’d ever understand What you are to me Promise that I never would hold it against you I step out the door one step out here, no more

The Haze 07:14
They’re all alone without it, without cause Picked up the phone No answer, no purpose Underneath the sun Won’t do anything we haven’t done before All that you’ve ever known Has evaporated before your eyes Lost touch with our selves from the descension of the haze A filter on our eyes that covers truth and pollute our minds And I begin to see All the hate that reside in me And keep our distance safe It leaves us blind Contorted, distorted Still shines the sun with absence of sunlight Fear is clouding the sky We are suffocating in its presence All that you’ve ever known Has evaporated before the sun
7.
Conception 04:14
Today, I went further Away on my venture To see what I’d find If I looked ahead Before the sun goes down Before the sky turns black I must light a path To mark my way home Yet here I am, oh Lord In my house built on sand Yet here I stand, oh Lord Miles underneath the ground “To love is to agree To care is to nod your head” A light’s coming through A crack in the wall So here I am, oh Lord Miles underground the earth I turn to you, oh Lord Release me from this dirt
8.
It’s a brand new day I awoke from slumber Took a life to see I was six feet under And I saw you through the clearing haze Your eyes were set on the ground And the empty space surrounding you In emptiness has you bound It forces me to my knees Let go off this fantasy When you hide from the truth You succumb to nothing Your evasive mind Gotta bow to something Forced me onto my knees I let go off the tree Forced you down The sun goes down
9.
Open the sky Follow my need to sever One day you’ll seek remedy Some day we’ll die Aimed for the stars Fell to the ground and beyond Fell into place again Lost in your mind Step out of your space And harvest the light Watched the sun go down And we revelled History resounds So we rebelled Saw it intertwine (with our lives again) It comes together We are chained to the ground forever Fell into the stream Watch me as I drown Incoherent dream Pushed me further down History resounds Saw through our obsessive vow Blood is our confession now Flowing by the finest lines Evidence of vital signs Watch me where I stand See me as I stumble Catch me as I fall Lead me where you want me Tell me where to go Take me to the harvest Show me who I am Standing here before you Free me from myself Step out of your space And harvest the light
10.
Daniel 05:59
Caught in a cycle, a perpetual slope We are entitled to the crumbling core I walked beside you, but one day I came too close Light, like a fire, flashed before my eyes End of the wire, sun is on the rise Caused a revival in our drifting souls Again Serving in captivity On a strife that leads us nowhere I feel restless and unwanted Cause this place is not my home Called us to unfold on a ruthless, cold endeavor Oddly I’m at peace Settled in this den of lions I live in self-denial Cause my heart is not my own A moment of conception Led me to discover you
