Incarnation 03:44
My father said listen son Grow up and be an honest man No one can save you from your ways Promise you won't lose your soul When you are out there on your own Tell me that you will not lose your way No one said it would be easy Day after day of longing and sacrifice When you're only appeasing What can you change Trying hard not to lose control Playing games that we just do not know Now it seems your believing this is the way We don't walk this earth just to sell our souls And we don't need to buy their broken ways Now I'm calling on the past to lead me Telling myself everything's ok When the lights turn red

Tell me are you going to race the day When the morning wakes your soul Tell me will you tremble from the start Will you stay so strong Tell me are you going to make an escape When your cage is left open Tell me will you tremble in your heart When you felt so small I bet, I bet, I bet your lonely I've been, I've been, I've been so lonely Drove with the cars to the city Left without a cent in my hand A new start for me My senses come around And I swore that I didn't need money As long as I've got a place To hold my dreams My senses come around Tell me are you going to chase the rain When the morning wakes your soul Tell me will you tremble in your heart 'cause you felt so small I bet, I bet, I bet your lonely I've been, I've been, I've been so lonely Drove with the cars to the city Left without a cent in my hand A new start for me My senses come around And I swore that I didn't need money As long as I've got a place to hold my dreams My senses come around If it fills my needs I'll take it over This awkward dance and song The summer has come and is over Ever since my love I let you down.

I was seeing all the people this way While I was drinking all my feelings away And we're a shimmer of our yesterday I cannot take it 'cause I do not own it And the past don't lie As were breaking up the balance No the facts don't lie We'll be breaking up the balance I'm alone at the bottom of the sea And everybody's floating away I'm alone at the bottom of the sea And everybody's floating away And we'll break from our bodies Along the way up And we'll break from our bodies Along the way I was watching all the scenery change While I was drinking all my feelings away And now the summer feels like yesterday I cannot take it 'cause I do not own it I'm alone at the bottom of the sea And everybody's floating away I'm alone at the bottom of the sea And everybody's floating away Tell me your secrets, tell me your secrets' tell me your thoughts Tell me your secrets, tell me your secrets' tell me your thoughts Don't tell me that were going to give up I'm along my way up I'm along my way up.

Sitting next to the river Letting go of the past I sit so long, I sit so long I'm a wreck Woken up by the moonlight and we come undone And we're running through the night 'cause we're ready We're ready And they say you're here just to tear this whole world down Just a little bit of terror and your walls fall all around So you're on your way just to tear this whole world down Just surrender, just surrender, you will see Woken up by the moonlight and we come undone And we're running through the night 'cause we're ready We're ready And they say you're here just to tear this whole world down Just a little bit of terror and your walls fall all around So you're on your way just to tear this whole world down Just surrender, just surrender, you will see They said please can you stop this madness But my mind is like a ghost in a machine They said breathe and just feel the vibrations And you will free the ghost from the machine Well maybe it will come and let you go But the pain feels so real I couldn't know Oh please just come here and let me go I surrender I surrender now I know.

All these days we've been stripped bare for the summer And you've shown me I had to let you go for now It's hard enough to stand in the water so I'm laying down It's hard enough to stand in the water so I'm laying down And so she is gone and I'm right here all by myself And all my love has turned into rainy days And it's so hard to stitch up all these holes I could never save you alone And so you found your way back home this summer Your whole life in a duffle bag that I bought It's hard enough to stand in the water so I'm laying down It's hard enough to stand in the water so I'm laying down And so she is gone and I'm right here all by myself And all my love has turned into rainy days And it's so hard to stitch up all these holes I could never save you alone Not me.

Simple Life 04:03
Shots ring out plain as day And all the bullets they fall We sit back until five And plan our getaway They scream to put your hands up And don't say a word We'll make this easy for you friends It's your money or your life All the silver tongues and signs of class All the structures made of steel And all we ever wanted was a simple life And all we ever needed was a simple life And when we're gone We leave no path to trace We slipped into the night We made our getaway They scream to put your hands up And don't say a word We'll make this easy for you friends It's your money or your life All the silver tongues and signs of class All the structures made of steel And all we wanted was a simple life And all we needed was a simple life.

Home 04:13
It's saturday I'm alone again And the world just seems to spin away And I hold my weight I'll not forget As I smoke my only cigarette Well you spun the globe just to stop it with your thumb But it was all sea where your finger ended up And so you try again and hope for better luck There's got to be a place better than the one that you call home I cross the days out with red pen But the calendar never seems to end If I find my way my soul will rest As I hold on to my silhouette Well you spun the globe just to stop it with your thumb But it was all sea where your finger ended up And so you try again and hope for better luck There's got to be a place better than the one that you call home And we all own these days The light you leave on This room is a sea of memories and daily castaways And I sit and laugh at the circumstance Of how my heart found a home Well you spun the globe just to stop it with your thumb But it was all sea where your finger ended up And so you try again and hope for better luck There's got to be a place better than the one that you call home

I may seem alright but i'm not ok I don't know where the time is ever going to go As i stand here just pounding my fist I will come back for air when my body asks for it And i know my senses are subdued I could leave you but i would be upset It's just a thought that comes and goes It's all around, around, all around This may seem alright You do whatever you can to tell yourself But it's not, no it's not, no it's not ever going to change you. This may seem alright but it's not ok As your voice begins to shake out of control It's the truth that's so hard to admit Well the words find a way to roll of your lips And i know my senses are subdued I could leave you but i would be upset It's just a thought that comes and goes It's all around, around, all around This may seem alright You do whatever you can to tell yourself But it's not, no it's not, no it's not ever going to change you.

Can you believe still Now you know that the movies are not real Will the cameras still call, will the cameras still call Let's make believe 'cause there ain't no truth to what we see But we still scream and turn our heads And laugh like we're young And this could just be the last chance that we've got And this could be the shedding of our skin Selling all the pieces that you own'cause they hang around like ghosts You need to take a stand, you had to let them go So you settled all your bets, and set out far from home Well these thoughts are not unique Yes they're universal You can't believe still Now you know that nothing is quite real So you just turn back to where you came from And this could just be the last chance that you've got And this could be the shedding of your skin Selling all the pieces that you own 'cause they hang around like ghosts You need to take a stand, you had to let them go So you settled all your bets, and set out far from home Well these thoughts are not unique Yes they're universal You can't believe still When lies are the only thing that's real So you just push ahead and pray for someone To change the scene from color bars back to the silver screen But you tell yourself you can't go back to where you came from And this could just be the last chance that you've got And this could be the shedding of your skin Selling all the pieces that you own 'cause they hang around like ghosts You need to take a stand, you had to let them go So you settled all your bets, and set out far from home Well these thoughts are not unique Yes they're universal.
