The Surface
(Verse 1)
Where Music masks the hallowed silence,
And the depth resounds so far away.
Unstable alibis are flawless truths of life.
And only beaming eyes dismiss the day.
(Verse 2)
Good Morning World and they're alive again.
Though chains are carving flesh and bone.
Laughing mouths echo each is louder than before.
Poisoned and melting but still in perfect tone.
(Chorus x2)
On the Surface above the rage
Hiding our sorrow and all of our pain,
Beauty lies and the sad man jokes.
On the Surface who can explain?
All is well and all is the same.
Out of control and void of hope.
(Verse 3)
Tbe music sounds from every corner
With empty faces they greet the day.
And feeble minds are filled with horror
As the others slowly turn away.
(Chorus x 2)

Coldest Days of August
(Chorus)
Maybe I just want to live above this,
Time is wasting,
I'm swimming through all that I can bear,
And you're deaf as always.
I back out, just to leave her apartment,
And I hold on, just to see her smiling,
And I know I might be right..
The Coldest Days of August
(Verse 1)
The sheets are white as are the walls,
They are no different from the last time,
That I was here.
Tracing Emotion like a line of something real,
Is of no meaning
To a ghost consumed by fear.
Tear down these walls,
Combat your smile with my resentment,
Holding back is an echo
I refuse to realize.
Confusion reigns until I understand
That tragedy took the last hand
I had left to drive…
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
The rise and fall of a simple life,
Now stands replaced by the mix of trials,
And the beautiful dream that lives inside.
It's a shame that most can't hear
Those songs that extend beyond our ear
And see scenes that reach beyond our
Straining eyes.
Your irony was stunning with no direction or proper cause,
Until your presence lit the way to where I belong.
I look back fondly now, not because I miss your hollow shell,
But solely for the the lesson amidst the wrong…
(Chorus x 2)

Riptide
(Verse 1)
The clear through which we drown
A hand-made and spiraling energy
The mast comes thundering down
No crew is willing to test its reach now
Its not for us to test its reach
(Chorus x 2)
Fainter hearts may feel
It pulls them in and it spits them out now
Understand these words are mine
But its always been more
We are like sand-grains in this riptide
(Verse 2)
We felt this whole thing out
A cruel yet simple irony
Beyond what lies before us yet beyond our doubt
Lies this tide of certain consequence evading me
(Chorus x 3)

Reach
(Verse 1)
Somewhere Lives
Are starting to unwind
And you're sitting quiet beside
And you are breathless
And choiceless suppose
You were as helpless as those
Who swim as fish in a bowl
Only waiting now for Time's Toll
(Chorus)
You don't cry
You don't feel
This second-hand life was never real
Fly away now to where we all go
A second chance
A change of heart
Where one life ends the other can start
Abandon the numbing darkness that you know
(Verse 2)
You're Talking But you
Are only talking to fools
Engaged they stare and drool
But minds stay empty
But here you find proof
To justify the days you go through
To step inside the shoes you want to
Begin to change the things you need to
(Chorus x 2)

Plastic World
Ghosts
Of our pasts
Gather around
We're going to restore your towns
And live and die
With a fire inside
And escape these times
Of Plastic Lives
Ghosts
Of our pasts
Could you see?
This numbness creeping over me
With every new day
We were throwing away
So much more than
We ever would gain
A runaway train
A runaway train
Jewels of life in the world of old
Replaced by the shimmer of silver and gold
Do only as you're told
Don't break out of this mold
Trade all of your morality
For an awkward practicality
A new man-made reality
It seems to me the worst loss is
The one you never know you lose
Until pleasure is a memory too
And you don't know what to do
I guess I'll trade more morality
For a little bit of practicality
This new man-made reality
Is losing its appeal to me
Ghosts
Of our pasts
Gather around
We're going to restore your towns
And live and die
With a fire inside
And escape these times
Of Plastic Lives
Before we grow too old
I want to restore the world
And live and die with a fire inside
And escape these times
Of Plastic Lives
Ghosts
Of our pasts
Gather around
We're going to restore your towns
And live and die
With a fire inside
And escape these times

And escape these times
