War Is Over 04:40
Here I am at the edge of this emptiness Waiting for you to come confess I may not be an angel at least I know that But you give me something hard to hold I could ask you, but I won't I'm over this anyway I could take you home The war is over, and I'm feeling like a child alone You take me down where the water is never real In a circle we can fall Is this nothing more than everything to me? Here at the edge of my only dream I could ask you, but I won't I'm over this anyway I could take you home The war is over and I'm feeling like a child
2.
Way down by the riverbed Where the water rushes and we shed our skin Everybody knows someone gone Everyone else moves along If you're lost and hurting the most Some people live like a ghost Standing in the shadows frozen Are the things we love the most It's a long way to Heaven I know we're gonna get there soon It's a long way to Heaven I know we'll get there I swear In the arms of the one's you love Hold them safe and shelter them You will never know when they're gone Or which path they're on Maybe a stranger hold the key That opens you up and sets you free If you feel don't fight the feeling To never let it go It's a long way to Heaven I know we're gonna get there soon It's a long way to Heaven I know we'll get there I swear If you lose everything despite the feeling Don't let it go Don't let it control you In the evening when the day is done and the sun sets over everyone Every single brother and sister Every human being Don't let it be what divides you Don't let it waste your time In the end if you don't find it Everything will be alright
3.
No Path 03:44
Clouded in the light of wasted breath I took you inside and told you secrets Waiting on the wilderness to be the one Days disappear in waves Let it be known There is no path to this home let it be said I'm only dreaming most of the time As a child I was confused When every direction is the choice you choose It's hard to get along in this crazy world When you're alive before the dawn is gone Let it be known There is no path to this home let it be said I'm only dreaming most of the time Searching the darkness for refuge Or any old place to hide Somewhere where no one will find me All that I want is to be gone Let it be known There is no path to this home let it be said I'm only dreaming most of the time
4.
In Sunlight (free) 05:34
One by one your monsters tremble All the ghosts inside your head Love is strong and if you let it It will find you in the end Through the days of cold and darkness Will your lonely soul prevail? I will lift you through your burdens and be the wind underneath your sails Oh my God, I think I've got it All the love in the world I need In sunlight, right above Darkness behind Through the years I hid my failures and everything that I took from you Let this lantern keep the silence Let the world bloom in front of you It takes so long Oh my God, I think I've got it All the love in the world I need In sunlight, right above Darkness behind
5.
On Display 04:24
World, just like a broken record Spinning in infinity it never ends News, no matter what they say Same fucking story, different day When will we learn to turn the page? Alive before the light bends Fire, rages in the East The land of kingdom come and hallelujah War, he can taste it in his veins They never should have come when they never left But what remains is the taste of gold Alive and on fire Don't let me be alone tonight The world is on display Don't let me be alone tonight The human race is racing God, Alive before the heather Wanted what is right and what is his But I know, that there will come a day When we lay our weapons down for good Don't let me be alone tonight The world is on display Don't let me be alone tonight The human race is racing

Waiting on the wind Holding down the line When everything we give comes back in time If we had forever, how would it feel? I wonder how we got here? All the world is shaking Tied to a string of complicated light and heroic things I want to be with the living things High upon a TV screen Oh my, there's mountains left to climb If everything just ends and we had to start again Take your hesitation and throw it on the wind If we had forever, how would it feel? I wonder how we got here? My head is heavy Weighted with the night Of emptiness in dreams That we keep out of sight If we had forever, how would it feel? I wonder how we got here? I want to be with the living things High upon a TV screen Oh my, there's mountains left to climb In all her dreams she sees the colors of every living thing Painted pictures in black and white and empty conversations I want to be there I want to know her and see her name in lights Oh my, there's mountains left to climb
7.
Love, afraid of the things I feel Even if this isn't real, we made it here I know, we built these castles from gold and greatest stories ever told Made this home All the boys and all the girls In every city, all around the world You hear their heartbeats sing their sirens song The future is open wide My ghost has never left the sight of me Compared to who I want to be and the way it goes I am mistaken through the misery Every single part of me, but you'd never know All the boys and all the girls In every city, all around the world You hear their heartbeats sing their sirens song The future is open wide I've found a way to escape my dreams Fill them up with finer things and no more pain This isn't just a creature comfort
8.
I remain a mystery Even in my own mind There are rows and rows of houses You could find me if you had the time I wanted to see you with your back against the wall I know it's the right thing Annie and the evidence Waited on baited breath Only for a sense of longing Because she knows what it takes I know it's the right thing Somewhere in the distance The water leaves the well Time begins again, and collapses on itself I know it's the right thing
9.
My brother in arms, my companion I wonder where you are in the wilderness? The dreams we shared together are alive in there and though I cannot see you, I hope you're doing well All the world is waking up without us Every missing piece foes unnoticed Who will be there for us? When you come back home Mistaking every lost feeling With the fear I'd let you down Like all along I was just waiting To sing the song we both knew the words to All the world is waking up without us Every missing piece foes unnoticed Who will be there for us? When you come back home Somewhere in the emptiness and the vacant space of time There is a memory of a moment I keep it in my chest All the world is waking up without me Every missing piece foes unnoticed Who will be there for us? When you come back home

Forever Fine 03:59
Walk past the meadow Through the fence of the overgrown pine Though their shadows cast some darkness I'm forever fine Through the years of thinking backwards I keep my head up still You can ask of my failures But they haunt me here I'm forever fine Luck would have it I'm falling in the arms of someone understanding You can keep me warm But this emptiness I've yet to command When you walk, do it slowly Let the air breathe you in controlling You can ask all your questions Will you ever really know them? I'm forever fine Hoist your flag above the rail Let the one's who love you see it You can try to count your blessings But it's better just to live them I'm Forever Fine
