A Single Step
It seems like a thousand years
Have passed since you’ve been gone
Let us take this time
To visit all the stomping grounds
The weather seems alright
To check the towers out
I’m making this one last
I’m making this one last
You’re with me now
It’s hard to believe how much you see
From this far up
Central Park’s just one of many
Microscopic blots
Still, it seems that jet is flying awful low
I’m making this one last
I’m making this one last
The clouds are breaking now
What a scene it must be from below
There’s only one way this can go
The city lost beneath the dust
True freedom calling to us
The clouds are breaking now
What a scene it must be down there
Take my hand now, son
It’s clear that we can’t stay
But soon the wind will take us in
A single step
That’s not so bad, now is it?
(break)
The city lost beneath the dust
True freedom calling to us
The clouds are breaking now
What a scene this must be from below
There’s only one way this can go

The Shrine
The picture runs on the wall
Projecting images of
A time in life no longer there
You spend your days never moving on
A few more years and then you’ll be gone
It’s hard to find a reason to even care
And now
You feel no warmth when the sun’s up
You see no light in the sunset
So many things you recall
With every new reel you watch
A single thought burned in your head
For everything that is who you are
To suddenly be reduced to nothing
It’s kinda’ like already being dead
And now
You feel no warmth when the sun’s up
You see no light in the sunset
Compared to what is your sole interest
Color it with the best intentions
Suffer in silence
You feel no warmth when the sun’s up
You see no light in the sunset
Compared to what is your sole interest
Nothing in life gives you comfort
As much as this

Fault Line
A static drone swarms your ears
Flattened highs
Stifled tears
Current pulling back
With no warning
True to form
By your lone sum
Long-known sum
Second thoughts
Wired in
Venting on
Rival winds
Seal off your way back
From this portal
Self-exile
By your lonesome
Long-known tales of sorrow
You search your family
For those who claim you’re wrong
As if no one recalls what was said
A certain memory
Resembling a séance
Won’t let you part with your past
And inside your rift
You’re home
Let it come
Warm your bed
Vitriol
Cold and deaf
Sift through the wreckage
Find your motive
Polarized
By your lone sum
Long-known tales of sorrow
You burn in effigy
The ones who plague your love
As you cope with the loss of your friend
The skill of that which lets you
Come away a player
Won’t let you barter with your guilt
And this side of your rift
So long you’ll play on
All on your own

Half Light

Half Light
You can name yourself reborn
Place your life in god’s hands
Assume the martyr role
And take a vow to your death
Severing yourself
From the ones in darkness
And wash away your sins
With the blood that’s still on your head
It won’t save your soul
Purify your flesh
With the gods in the half-light
Channeling your wit
Through the words you write
Carrying your cross
To a higher plane above this
Where there is no remorse
For the wrong you’ve done us all
It won’t save your soul
Won’t change what is… no
The ones you learned to laughed with
Have finally learned their lesson
Standing in the wind
Standing in the wind
All the ones you left for dead
Were merely pawns in your eyes
Sacrificial lambs
To the cause you hide
No one left who knows
Of the serpent in your garden
Who whispers in your ear
All the lies you sold with soul
It won’t save your soul
Won’t change what is… no
The ones you learned to weep with
Have finally learned their lesson
And all the grace you’re blessed with
Won’t save your soul from this

Sign away the rights
Tomorrow this could end
A chance to leave your mark
Like this
Could never be again
Eyes on the sun
You're gonna' make a big sum
High above the rest
You surely have earned it
Long you've yearned
To move the masses with your art
To hold the staring eyes entranced
However great the cost
Eyes on the sun
You're gonna' make a big sum
High above the rest
You surely have earned it
The price of it
A worthless inner voice
You'll lie awake at night
Convinced you never really had a choice
And you may get hurt
But it’s only in your mind
Medicate your view
Endeavor just to float through
By the code you live
You find empowerment
But to the naked eye
Your debt is all it ever meant
Eyes on the sun
You're gonna' make a big sum
High above the rest
You surely have earned it
The price of it
A worthless inner voice
You'll lie awake at night
Convinced you never really had a choice
And you may get hurt
But it’s only in your mind
Medicate your view
Endeavor just to float through
As you vaguely learn
That the only bliss you find
Denies you of
The only thing you’ll ever want

Star-crossed
How could I explain this?
It doesn’t matter anyway
The urgency you longed to still
Has surely left you there alone
Shine on as you are
Don‘t be afraid
It’s silly to resist
Try
All you’ll long for will be this
I have felt no pain like
The native song that’s on your lips
The recurring dream you long to live
The night has filled you with
Don’t wait for it
It won’t be there for long
Say now what truly is
Lie
All you’ll long for will be this
Don’t fade out
Say now that you’ll come outside
Don’t try running
From the love I send
Your eyes
Say hello
Say hello
Oh, say now
You’ll come outside
Don’t try running
From the love I send
It’s on your way
It’s on your way from here
It’s on your way
It’s everything you’ve wanted
I can tell it is
Lover

Venom
Scoff at the warning signs
Crown yourself a god
Spitting the venom from your wounds
On whoever wants some
Too hard to know what’s on the line
Out there on your own
Ah, whatever gets you right
And you hit so hard
But no one ever listens
When you cry out
Won’t someone take you in
Seeking your vengeance
You fight for a wasted cause
Finding salvation in the pain
When you're nailed to your cross
Your moment came to pay in blood
And how they screamed for more
I just couldn’t bear to look
And you hit so hard
But no one ever listens
When you cry out
Won’t someone take you in
And you'd give so much
But no one ever noticed
Your memories of
Whatever you loved
Won't ever reflect
Your need to let someone
Get over your landmines
Hold down the throttle tight
Give yourself a lift
Don't let the bottle pass you by
Fill your chalice up with
Ah, whatever gets you there
And you hit so hard
But no one ever listens
When you cry out
Won’t someone take you in
And you'd give
But no one ever noticed
When you cry out
Won’t someone take you in

Still Waiting
Now
Something’s taking over deep within
Commence the last rites
In this cycle of your highs and lows
Where you have been so long
Can you feel it coming to a head
Oh, but you will, son
You’ve been blinded by it far too long
It’s only right
Still waiting for it to come
You’re still receptive, still expectant
Or maybe not
Try not to leave this life before you’ve lived
It goes so fast, son
All tomorrow’s problems sure to come
You’ll never fix with your anger
And as you feed this fire with regret
It draws you in to its warmth
And this cold gravestone you stand before
Can’t tell you why
Still waiting for it to come
You’re still receptive, still expectant
Or maybe not
A sad thing to see you now
Smoldering in bitter silence
Harboring the weight of
All that which you can’t even up
There’s gotta’ be another way to live
Another way to resolve the spite
That you’ve felt so long
Shine as you live, son
Shine as you live, son
The distance of the coming flood
The distance of the ones who’ve drawn your blood
The distance of the righting of the wrong
The distance of
Still waiting for it to come
Still waiting for it to come

The sum of all you fear
Encrypted in your eyes
As I become the mirror to your id
The seed is sown
And life evolves again
It’s in our blood
And I can’t embrace our lie
As I implode
And I can’t deny what is
The calm we show the world
A limited facade
Denying us of what we were meant for
The nature of this pain we grovel in
It’s in our blood
And I can’t embrace our lie
As I implode
And I can’t deny what is
In my soul
Let your fear go now
Start with the basics
It’s alright - you’re safe here
All will be healed
The shadow wakes

Seize
“Come work, son”,
I would hear
All though my young life
“Someday, I will be taken
From your eyes;
Know this…”
I see you now
Growing up
And the words echo loud
From beyond:
"Seize onto now
It’s over too fast
There's only so much"
Come learn, son
Of the great ones
In our bloodline
But careful as you trace it
Not to lose your will
Don’t hang yourself from the rope
That the world says you must, to belong
‘Cause it's solely your call what you must do
Seize onto now
It’s over too fast
There's only so much
Color, son
Show me your world
Tell me of the light
Help me find your love for life
My soul never learned
To play it like you do
Seize onto now
It’s over too fast
There's only so much

In the Blood
I dreamed you were enclosed in light
And Dad led you to the ones you’d lost
So beautiful, yes
But hardly your plan
Not like this
Your blood is still your blood
The sickened cells that grow inside
Beg you to say you just give up
It’s all academic
These hindrances that taunt your will
There’s too much left to be done now
With your time left
And maybe this all
Don’t make any sense
Don’t take it as a curse
You need to be strong
Don’t ever accept
You’re headed for the worst
You’ll never see the cause
Just take the next step
Don’t let it plague your worth
You’ll never be alone
Don’t ever think it
We all have seen the glory you wrought
Despite the hardship that you came from
And your story will long be honored
By the ones you named
Your blood is still your blood
And maybe this all
Don’t make any sense
Don’t take it as a curse
You need to be strong
Don’t ever accept
You’re headed for the worst
You’ll never be alone
Don’t ever think it
You’re tended by the source of blessed hope

Lazicarus
Time comes to the end
No fear in your eyes
Upon your ascent
Through grace of your life
No shade from the sun
As your wings burn to ash
No hope left to still our cries
God knows how it is
To lay where you are
The curse of it all
To fade till you’re gone
But it ends now
But it ends now
Flux of your love
Plagues and ghosts
Can’t hold you now
Delivered beyond your death
Son, rise up
Fly on home
All life‘s pain was locked herein
But it ends now
But it ends now
Here
Flux of your love
Plagues and ghosts
Can’t hold you now
Delivered beyond your death
Son, rise up
Fly on home
Shine on the wicked
Shine on, son
All that’s left
Must be enough for ours
To bear the loss that’s come
Sure as the dusk that falls
On everyone
Just know I will be there
And this isn’t the end
Your night’s taken so long
But it ends now
But it ends now
But it ends now
But it ends now
Flux of your love
Plagues and ghosts
Can’t hold you now
Delivered beyond your death
Shine on the wicked, son
Son, rise up
Fly on home
Shine on the wicked
Shine on, son
Lazicarus, all you are
Still shines on
Shine on the wicked
Shine on, son
Shine on
