Well excuse me if I get in your way I'm having one of those days And if it's all the same then You'll leave me on my way These scars are all I have My masterpiece in art Bringing back the past Pulling me apart Excuse if I show too much as if you've never seen this before And shower your grace and mercy before I walk out that door These scars are all I have My masterpiece in art Bringing back the past Pulling me apart Stuck to me forever These scars they cover Every single part of me Theres is more to come Before I am done So excuse me for being

I never wanted to bring it to this I never wanted to say I would miss All of the good things in life That keep people in stride This is the final call My last decision Good bye To all I'm ending this fall Loading the chamber hes done with whats said Pulling the trigger he falls to his bed Dreaming of Heaven Dreaming of Heaven There's a note on his stand its by the bed The pull of blood soaks his head there's no chances he's dead Dreaming of Heaven Dreaming of Heaven Now you can hear all his cries every night Now you can feel every tear that he cries Dreaming of Heaven Dreaming of Heaven Now you hope he is free Of all of his pain yeah That everything's OK Dreaming of Heaven Dreaming of Heaven

History Lessons 03:51
lyrics

On the window There is A reflection It's intransit Of direction The sunlight Dances on these streets Then thoughts of my own Begin to speak These Kings & Queens They'll take their gold Reminding me Of what was told Through History Lessons In my school When I was a fool Quick to tongue And show What you know Blatant fools would rather Throw stones Lessons once taught What wars won Our lesson has now Begun These Kings & Queens They'll take their gold Reminding me Of what was told Through History Lessons In my school When I was a fool Drink too much from Your cup you did Your riches now Exceed your sin You want to control Who you are Before your Kingdom Comes apart These Kings & Queens They'll take their gold Reminding me Of what was told Through History Lessons In my school When I was a fool

Silence 02:39

I'll choose a life of reason One that never surprises me And when there's no more reason I'll be left alone wondering in Silence, Silence One day I will die I hope you don't pass me by The truth never lies I'll wait on my time in Silence, Silence Will I be able to lift my face When I get to those pearly gates Will I be able to say your name When I get to those pearly gates Or Will I be broken To Silence, Silence Silence, We're silent Yeah and I believe it when you call my name I believe it all the same When I come running to you I hope you will see me through (while I'm in) Silence, Silence Silence, Silence

The Way Things Are 03:19
lyrics

Universal trade marks Family of deck cards Boys cretin for the world Let's not forget the girls Things that are to be Love or Lust you see University The best in Glory (E) Try to be real Don't play or fake the bill Nothing is easy Easy at seems Tell do tell What does this mean to me To me Karma brings trouble To those who wander Wonder with a trip On the lower lip Not to sing out loud Or be too proud But these things are just the way they are These things are just the way they are Put together from the start Things are just the way they are Space and time can't pull apart Love and honey on the tongue Love and beauty in the one Love and grace from above Love and pain just because (if you listen you can hear an angel shout) Love, Love These things are just the way they are Put together from the start These things are just the way they are These things are just the way they are

Follow 04:09
lyrics

I was walking right behind you You were telling me what to do You were every single case You were every single face I was kneelin' crying out in prayer I was feelin' like nobody cared For every single word There was something I learned If it did me no good I tried to understand Lookin' where I stood Nothin' makes sense I will follow, I will follow On everything I know On everything I owe There is a reason to be right Her scream bleeds through the night A heart that will give Is a heart that lives I struggle with this every day It hurts all the same Though time is coming short I'm still learning more I will follow, I will follow On everything I know On everything I owe On everything I know On everything I owe Even if I can't keep up Even if I give up On everyone I know On everything I know I will follow I will follow Follow Follow

Anytime 02:29

Don't lose yourself child Don't burn your heart out Don't press your luck To the wind The funniest thing you've ever seen I was walking down your street Speaking out loud to nobody But me Don't kid yourself 'bout anything at all What feels good maybe your fall The heart is a fragile thing Makes me want to sing If you need to come my way Anytime of the day I'm not leaving here Anytime Soon Anytime Soon Anytime Soon Anytime Soon Anytime Soon I could stay in this moment forever Be with you in this moment forever I could stay in this moment forever Forever could be a long time A long time

Cold 04:10
lyrics

Dark outside Late tonight Child don't cry It's not your time All alone No one knows Whats going on Inside When does this all end Tell me, Tell me again (oh, oh) When does the start begin Tell me, Tell me again (oh, oh) No one to talk to nothing is left to say Nothing you can do You've lost yourself today When does this all end Tell me, Tell me again (oh, oh) When does the start begin Tell me, Tell me again (oh, oh) What happens here May break your fears What you lose dear Could make things clear Shiny blue eyes, bluer than the sky (meet) Dark green eyes, that try to get by But nothings more fatal or cold Then finding love when she's already sold To someone else To someone else To someone else To someone else (sung to the end of the song)

Some say the end is near (yeah) They say they read it in a book Some like to live in fear Never taking another look I... So now your running What are you running for? You say tides keep changing All across the shores Its a fact in life Its not something new Its not hype Its just you Its just you Said I... I... I... I will see you In the end times So if you live in fear Take a look at your faith dear Time presses on Like these trials and tribulations

Winter Glow 05:03

You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life If there is such a thing Her presence was unforgettable Working in her favor That night Her eyes were as black as gold The only thing I needed to know Needed to know She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life If there is such a thing Stuck in a sweet surrender She was all I could remember That night Partaking in a moment I never wanted to leave That night She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life If there is such a thing And of all of the stars that scream out tonight They scream meaningless aggression Meaningless Yeah the stars that come out tonight Scream meaningless discretion Meaningless aggression Meaningless The most there is to know Could not be contained The most there was to feel Then the most to believe The most to believe (to believe) Speaking in so many words But these are just words They can't return a feeling A feeling so surreal Yeah time is such a joke Played to destroy Every moment We embrace The greatest moment You'd ever have You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen If you've ever heard of such a thing You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen If you've ever heard of such a thing (bad voice betty) Ooh Ooh Winter glow oh don't you go Winter glow oh don't you go Winter glow oh don't you go Winter glow no don't you go

Closer 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Out of all of the mistakes I have made The very things that keep me on my face I wish I was better I wish to the letter Out of every tear I've cried Covering every single lie I wish I could pull through Just as most do In every tight situation Things seem to fall All around me It's like a bad redemption That covers us all If you believe I'm nowhere near perfect Then that's what keeps me human The fee one pays to feel Is like a thief payed to kneel And the more I begin to hurt The more I know I'm alive This is what brings me closer And the more I begin to pray The more I feel your pain This is what brings me closer (scat singing) And if this is what I am to face Then I give in Yeah I give in To you This is all I got No it's not a lot Please don't take too much of what I don't have And the more I begin to hurt The more I know I'm alive This is what brings me closer And the more I begin to pray The more I feel your pain This is what brings me closer
