Ender 03:16
You wait it out (it out) Tell-tale signs showing the correct direction Steadily going nowhere, steadily going nowhere Waiting only for the ender, marking letter “return to sender” You wait it out (it out) The last time around we’ll be on solid ground Steadily going somewhere, steadily going somewhere Moving forward, unseen ender no “return to sender” letter Remember the sender, remember the ender

Six feet down, into the ground, where you lay, today You’ve become the departed one, I exclaim your name Left alone, new tales unfold, but I’ve been blessed, so rest Have no fear my dear where you lay today It doesn’t seem like it should, I would take your place if I could And I would, if I could...where you lay, today, where you lay, today My tears fall, for your curtain call, but this high tide, subsides Don’t you weep, for me, where you lay today. It doesn’t seem like it should, I would take your place if I could, and I would I wish it seemed like it should, I would take your place if I could, And I would, if I could… It’s hard to speak, when you’re underneath, permanent sheets. But you must believe, your absentee is now set free, in this grave

Dragging our feet, down a dead-end street We shared a home together but nothing lasts forever. Helpless and hopeless I dreamt of brand new taste to come my way You swam to safety and I drowned in the sea I searched for a reason, we changed through the seasons Because you swam, this is where I am Abandoned me then my dreams of a brand new taste had come my way You swam to safety and I drowned in the sea But here I stand, a new man and you’ve drowned in the sea…in the sea I stand (I stand), a new man (a new man). I stand, a new man.

Years beneath a suit to keep you same from harm, disarm Layered and secure blame the paramour, layered and secure blame the paramour Barricade to save face, armor for a fragile frame Who will tear the suit and keep you safe from harm, disarm Layered and secure blame the paramour, but what for? Barricade to save face, armor for a fragile frame Barricade to save face, armor for a fragile frame Layered and secure, but this suit is old and worn Layered and secure, blame the armor for the core Layered and secure, but this suit is old and worn Layered and secure, blame the armor for the core

Ghost Light 04:13
Time and effort behind the scenes, ignored by patrons again Still we stand, on this stage, but not for fame, not for fame. The lights shine upon the stage and time, time goes by Minutes feel like seconds, these moments we cherish, we cherish On this stage, but not…not for fame, not for fame, no…

Finite Youth 05:56
Misfortune has appeared tonight, and you ask why Casualty at your feet, as you grieve Face to the ground as a crowd surrounds…The water pours down Blood on the pavement, an ambulance arrives Rain falls upon the innocent as sirens fade away Come the waves of uniforms like a perfect storm You will speak of apologies for what you can’t ignore Blood on the pavement and an ambulance arrives Rain falls upon the innocent as the sirens fade away A calamity has come to pass again, a calamity has come to pass again

Apogee 02:07
8.
When we proceed to seize and follow their lead We’re taken into a realm of make-believe, at peace But it’s not that way, for this ride we’ll stay To grow so tired of the wait and try to better our days Looking for the pieces to fall into place, when they fit so well, so well Small paragraphs for us to tie it all together now Line by line and page by page Listen in for the language to come out aloud Looking for the pieces to fall into place... And you fit so well
9.
Providence 06:12
It’s unknown to you, even with a warning, you see it through. Sitting in a corner, you’re feeling warmer, scolding a former love. Different paths, ill-fated time, separation is the bottom line Providence is calling…Providence is calling…Providence is calling For you to move along and begin anew, to find someone to hold and to be true Just see it through, There is nothing left to lose Opened up the door, but not before you had cut the cord. Gentle hands upon you, your inhibitions flew, poetically true With each breath, you take in now, adoration has come avowed Providence is calling…Providence is calling…Providence is calling… For you to move along and begin anew, to find someone to hold and to be true Just see it through, You have nothing left to prove Regret must be laid to rest, regret must be laid to rest, lest we forget… Regret must be laid to rest (laid to rest) regret must be laid to rest, lest we forget.

We were chosen for the mission, to discover what no others have attained And with steady aim, we’ll win the race Flying high, absent fear. Beyond the atmosphere Sending signals to open channels We were chosen for the mission, to discover what no others have attained And with steady aim, we’ll win the race Approaching now with eager eyes, straight ahead on the prize Sending signals to open channels The eagle has landed obtaining its purpose We touch the surface...at last… We were chosen, we were chosen For the sender. for receiver. for the times, for the times
