Little by little we fall from grace The aftermath our faces gray See all the world around us disappear As little by little we fall from grace Seems were spinning out We’re losing all control The wind is howling Seas are rising to my door Trying to control her is a losing game Her face is in everything alive, decayed Fear the unknown we’re so fragile Counting time, counting time Seems we’re spinning out We’re losing all control The wind is howling Seas are rising to my door But I have faith in love There’s beauty all around us Little by Little we fall from grace The aftermath our faces gray See all the world around us disappear As little by little we fall from grace

Cruel 03:31
Please don't wake me, I'm sleeping in I tried to forget about everything Hopelessly waiting, for many an hour For a warm light to take the hurt away Cruel to me, be cruel to me I'll drown you out and set you free Over and over, this churning wheel Has me caught in your constant undertow Oh it's lonely, in this terrain And I'm tired of struggling Cruel to me, be cruel to me I'll drown you out and set you free Please don't wake me, I'm sleeping in I tried to forget about everything Hopelessly waiting, for many an hour For a warm light to take the hurt away Cruel to me, be cruel to me I'll drown you out and set you free

Me Oh My 04:23

Wake up with the world heavy on my mind And change is a spiral not a straight line In a minute I'm on top of the world In a minute I'll be falling apart Inside of my head, Inside of my head I see the world through the eyes of a child Feel the mud feel the rain, the wind and the wild I'd like my thoughts to be still Though my nature is to keep on spinning the wheel Inside of my head, Inside of my head I know my heart won't lead me astray Can't get my mind off what we carry and won't give away Inside of my head, Inside of my head
5.
Daybreak shades of red, pink, blue And I'm thinking of you and your compass tattoo And your eyes smiling back at me in the light Make me feel like everything's alright And I feel like I'm walking on eggshells And I feel like I'm walking on eggshells They're breaking me I find it hard to calm, the electricity's on And we're high wired people We're constantly thinking But your presence it brings me back to the light Make me feel like everything’s alright Im grateful for the spark, that luminates me in the dark And for the love, I feel in my heart We drift on waves, of blue green and grey Some gather some break, we take ours by the day And I feel like I'm walking on eggshells And I feel like I'm walking on eggshells They're breaking me
6.
Kill Me Slow 03:43
Let me retreat to my shell I’m vulnerable The ropes are pulling at each end of my limbs Tearing me apart Mmm hideout People hide behind the walls forcing smiles (I’m) burning up inside Don't reveal the demons that are speaking It's not okay to feel Mmm hideout Don't let anyone bother me Don't let anyone bother me And it kills me, and it kills me slow
7.
Leaves fall like rain Plant the seeds to grow a garden And I'm at the altar I will not fail, I will not falter And all that I see Turn to dark, turn to beauty And all that I hear Songs of hope, songs of the army Truth is not A blinding light I am here And the dark turns to light The days we live so short We will love and be loved And one day we will lie Beneath the earth, bone to dust I am here You are not alone This shall pass You are not alone I am here And the dark turns to light
8.
Let Me Down 03:10
United, yet divided Like a rose and you are the thorn We struggle through weakness We ache like tired bones I've bended but I won't break Even when I'm thrown in the fire Blame no one for mistakes I made Thinking I could trust you Cuz you let me down Over and over I'll stand my ground Over and over You let me down Over and over I'll stand my ground Over and over agai I know it gets easier Stay the course and I'll find my own light The leaves they'll return to Colors I've seen once before I'm done with retracing All the memories of the storm So I'll let up, I'll let go Who said love defines you Sometime love divides you Who said love defines you Ohh cuz you let me down Over and over I'll stand my ground Over and over You let me down Over and over You let me down Over and over again
9.
Fall on these hard times, haven't encountered them all Oh these hard times, and I'm so afraid to fall Oh when we falter and can't find our way Its hard to remember, your loving embrace And when I fall to my knees, will you be there to catch me When darkness is all that I see, will you show me the way And when I fall to my knees, I know you'll be there to catch me I trust you with all of my soul, you're the one that I love Do you remember, all the times that I cried I must've felt my heart burst, a thousand times Oh yes theres pain here, in this life But theres a saving grace, in your guiding light And when I fall to my knees, will you be there to catch me When darkness is all that I see, will you show me the way And when I fall to my knees, I know you'll be there to catch me I trust you with all of my soul, you're the one that I love
10.
After night, awaits the day Sun outside, we're only miles away From the source, of our lives Join the tide, and ride it high Oh the glory of the sun, shining down on everyone It reminds me, live each day For today, we're only miles away And I feel everything will fall in place And I feel everything will be ok There are times, I've closed the door Bowed my head, down towards the floor Lost my money, lost my job Sometimes we need, a shoulder to lean on Oh the glory of the sun, shining down on everyone It reminds me, live each day For today, we're only miles away And I feel everything will fall in place And I feel everything will be ok
