I. “Lost Tides”
I’m navigating through these city lights
I don’t know whether I should fly or fight
But I keep on driving through the dark
Trying to figure it out from the start
The cold iron tracks stare back at me
But I decide when it’s my time to leave
We’re gonna take this back to the start
I’ll try to remember the lines to my part
I pull up silent like a tidal wave
In these dark waters we won’t be saved
I pull up silent like a tidal wave
In these dark waters we won’t be saved
The dark in you matches the dead in me
If it’s thunder you want then fire I’ll bring
Chew up my motives with your teeth
So you can send me to The Shallows on my knees
I’m sure I never knew the real you
I was just someone to fill the empty space
Every morning you wake up alone I’m relieved
Just knowing the fact that it was my time to leave
I pull up silent like a tidal wave
In these dark waters we won’t be saved
I pull up silent like a tidal wave
In these dark waters we won’t be saved
II. “Walk Alone”
Hearing thunder roll across the sky
Reflections of you inside my eyes
These vines crisscross and grow
And cover your empty soul
It’s within this familiar place
I get lost inside your maze
Lost in my own desert I don’t hear a sound
Except for your ghostly footsteps
With my face on the ground
With your constant gaze on my every move
You’ll begin to understand
I have nothing to prove
I know where I need to be and it’s not here
So I’ll see you further down
Our paths my dear
Everything you’ll come to find
Is all that you left behind
When we walk alone
We become refined
If beauty is on the inside
You must have been gutted
Scarred from these streets and all of those years running
I hope these tides drag you far away
When you wash up somewhere
I won’t remember your face
I know where I need to be
And it’s not here
So I’ll see you further down
Our paths my dear
Everything you’ll come to find
Is all that you left behind
When we walk alone
We become refined
III. “Hieroglyphs Around The Moon”
That day we parted ways
Like traffic in a busy haze
The cars come crashing by
And yes I am on the run
It is true I am no one
I thought I saw you
Walking the opposite way
But if I could have stopped you
I still wouldn’t know what to say
Wrap your arms around nothing
And tell me what it’s like to feel something
Wrap your arms around nothing
And tell me what it’s like to feel something
Sometimes when I stare at the moon
I wonder if you’re looking too
With all of these days
I’m just trying to get by
Lost in the haze and that look in your eye that’s like
Hieroglyphs Around The Moon
Hieroglyphs Around The Moon
I could never forget you but I’ll try
Wrap your arms around nothing
And tell me what it’s like to feel something
Wrap your arms around nothing
And tell me what it’s like to feel something
Hieroglyphs Around The Moon
Hieroglyphs Around the Moon
Hieroglyphs Around the Moon
I will never forget you
So wrap your arms around nothing
And tell me what it’s like to feel something
Wrap your arms around nothing
And tell me what it’s like to feel something
Because I don’t
Yeah I don’t
I don’t
IV. “Alongside Apparitions”
From dust to dust into the earth we will go
In the end she will be all I see
What we did with our lives we won’t know
Because all along this was the key
When I’m with you it feels like a dream
But that’s exactly what it is because we still wake
I know nothing is ever as it seems
We’ll let our bodies become one I crave your touch
Yeah I’m trading my blood for gasoline
When I lost myself I lost you and everything in between
I thought you could show me how to feel again
I was wrong and that’s were this begins and ends
From dust to dust into the earth we will go
In the end she will be all I see
What we did with our lives we won’t know
Because all along this was the key
Because all along this was the key
Young and free
Alive but empty
Lost and pristine
Stuck on you completely
Young and free
Alive but empty
Lost and pristine
Stuck on you completely
Never motionless you’re arriving alongside apparitions
After all I did you still strayed from our path
Now who am I supposed to be without you
I’ve been sleep walking through the aftermath
From dust to dust into the earth we will go
In the end she will be all I see
What we did with our lives we won’t know
Because all along she was the key
When I’m with you it feels like a dream
But that’s exactly what it is because we still wake
I know nothing is ever as it seems
We’ll let our bodies become one I crave your touch
We’ll let our bodies become one I crave your touch
We’ll let our bodies become one I crave your touch
V. “Into The Shallows”
The apples are on the ground
Falling from the tree
Rolling toward oblivion
Into the space between you and me
Come back to this life
Find yourself again
Let go of all this strife
So the next chapter can begin
If in time the light breaks through
We’ll be lost within the dream of another life
I am beginning to see
The void that is the night
“A Blood Red Wave”
Step into the light you won’t bear
No one is ever missing
But if you’re lost I’ll meet you there
I remember the day you ripped up every photo
We were in
We were in
I hung onto those photos for far too long I must admit
As days went by
Along Moonlit shades of mourning
Lost in the breath of winter in your eyes
Falling through the darkest of corridors
I still feel your banished eyes
Now that I no longer know who you are
Your empty gaze still pierces the veil of time
Your lowest low there is a trap door below
You can always find another way down
You let us down again
These lying eyes were made for you
Haunted but unchained
It’s your breath that moves the blood
Inside my veins
And decorates my fear
Even in solace her hands still shake
From endless dreams of forgotten names
Her mind is like water when sorrow feels safe
In the end she will know just what it takes
Give me your vitriol and send me on my way
Maybe I’m saving all I got for you
You let us down again
These lying eyes were made for you
Haunted but unchained
It’s your breath that moves the blood
Inside my veins
And decorates my fear
You let us down again
These lying eyes were made for you
Haunted but unchained
It’s your breath that moves the blood
Inside my veins
And decorates my fear
