We Search, We Dig - 2012

-Secrets-

Withering from the seam.
I'm hanging by a thread, I fear I've done something wrong.
Fearing there's no turning back, I must be the accomplice.
Questions fill my mind.
Forgive us.
Forgive me.
Paranoid everyone knows what

I have locked behind these doors.
My heart is sinking.
The world is closing in on me.
They watch me choke on lies.
Running scared I feel sick again.

Everyone, all we've done, come clean.
I am the liar. I am the cheat.
I am the secret you want to keep.

I am so ashamed, and I can't escape this.
It's eating me alive,
and I can't escape these secrets are my prison.
They watch me choke on lies.
Running scared I feel sick again.
Everyone, all we've done, come clean.

-Dredge-

Walking into a place unknown.
Weary of a life I've grown to know.
I'm looking at the faces of

a generation lost and scared.
But we'd rather close our eyes and
dream of a child with a bed under their skin.
We are not alone.
We won't be invisible.
Tens by ten thousands,
we plead for something more.

Cry out, oh sons and daughters.
Rest your washed-out eyes.

Grace will keep you alive.
We are not alone.
We won't be invisible.
Tens by ten thousands, we plead for something more.
We search, we dig for roots of a stable home.
We search, we dig for a life better than this.
Tens by ten thousands we search,
we dig for a life better than this.

-Amend-

Shaking at the knees, you promised
me love until we die.
Together we breathe until death parts you from me.
Forever was the promise that we said we would keep.
This world is gray.
Are these just words that we say,
Or is there a deeper meaning?

We the kings and queens promised
a life to never fall apart, proclaimed our words.
For the world to hear and the eyes to see.
This ship sails into the unknown.

I know you're out there screaming for me.
Oh bone of my bone find me in the dark.
Do our hearts feel a different cause?
Can we survive this tide?
You promised.
We promised.

In this moment I can not breathe.
We've let this define our lives.
We can conquer.
We will rise.
Oh bone of my bone find me in the dark
Love will rise over the shadows we create.
You gave your heart till death do us part.
We've lost our direction but
love can show us the way back home.

We can see face to face.
We can see heart to heart.
Love bears all things.
Love can mend what feel apart.
Have we deprived ourselves of love.
Oh bone of my bone, find me in the dark.
Love will rise over the shadows we create.
You gave your heart till death do us part.

-Dreamer-

Look to the sky.
I try not to deny where we lye.
Do we have a home six feet under?
God save us all from ourselves.
It's too late, we've let you down.

Digging a hole six feet under in isolation.
Come down children of fear.
Tell me, is there something after death?
Tell me, do I still have time left?
Without life I am removed.
Sink into the grave.
Bury me.
What am I searching for?
Am I numbered with the dead?

Thoughts of darkness fill, they fill my head.
Dreamer come back to reality.
Dreamer wake up from your fear.
What if there's something I can change.
Can I see it?
My souls turning into a shadow
darkened by questions of my departure.
Is there light inside the life of death we find?
What happens when I close my eyes?
Will I be eliminated in darkness?
We're unattached, eliminated in darkness.

-Mendacious-

I'm used to bring you comfort
from a cold and cowardly being.
I'm exactly what you want to hear,
but give it time, you will find deceit.

When the truth is too hard to face,
then a liar you will be.
Just open up your mouth.
Your forked tongue will set me free.

-Traitor-

I can't sleep.
Tonight I feel so hollow.
I've been at what I do best again.
And I'm so far from home.
Don't know what I've been looking for.

The streets are cold and they've got no soul.
The city's upside down.
I'm losing my way.
Am I the person I once knew myself to be?

I've traded my faith for a taste of destruction.
I can't seem to get away from this.
I am the traitor.
You will discover.
The trees have lost their color.

Is my head right?
Am I the traitor?
I'm afraid to see what's become of me.
Just let the water rise and cleanse the city into the sea.
The city's upside down.
I'm losing my way.
Am I the person I once knew myself to be?
I've traded my faith for a taste of destruction.
I can't seem to get away from this.
We will wash away.
We will discover.

-Vulture-

Can I keep my crooked heart away from you?
But no matter how hard you try, you can't start again.
What can I do?
Shake off the burdens.

The weight of a plague wrapped around your head.
How much more the wicked and the sinner?
Lost, but we will find you.
Sinful man close your eyes.
I've been gasping for air.
For a moment I lost my sight, lost sight of heart.
How could I be such a vulture?
I'm afraid of the shadows the light brings from the dark.
You have built a kingdom of
vices oh child of a hollow heart.
We have watched you live in fear.
We have watched you disappear.
Just stay alive.
We won't leave you behind.
I've been gasping for air.
For a moment I lost my sight,
lost sight of my heart.

How could I be such a vulture?
I'm afraid of the shadows the
light brings from the dark.
Close your eyes.
Lost, but we will find you.
Search for hope.

-Lost-

When we stand at the edge of our lives,
what will we see?

A world gone mad?
I'm trembling at the thought of the end.
Have I been lead astray?
I've been searching for the better part of me,
a journey they say I can't make on my own.< It's not suppose to be like this.
I am lost and broken.
Hear our cry.
Let my eyes be opened.

Can we bring hope to the broken?
Why can't we see we can't do this on our own?
We are the wretched.
What will we see when we stand at the edge of the world?
A vessel so deep?
What will we see?

-Estrange-

Take your cheap shot.
Point your finger to blame.
But you hardly know their names.
You're just a God fearing hypocrite,
just another sinning saint.

Grace show us your face and bring redemption.
We've all lost sight of the call.
A dimming light with every generation,
we will be the death of us all.
You look with judging eyes,
but we all have so much to hide
behind our masks and cheap disguises.

Grace show us your face and bring redemption.
We've all lost sight of the call.
A dimming light with every generation,
we will be the death of us all.

Grace show your face.
We are callused and numb.
We are wool covered wolves and we feed on our young.
Steal a breath from a gasping lung,
then use it to preach on compassion and love.
God how can You love such a beast?

-Absolve-

This anchor won't let me reach the surface.
Pulling me further into the abyss.
Can you save a weakened soul?
Can you tell me?
Tell a wretch like me to finally see.

Can you tell me how lonely I have been?

And I want to believe,
Oh I just want to believe.
I don't want to wait.

Tell me.
I'm my own worst enemy, the knife in my own back.
My mind is a tragedy, it's killing me.
But I have never seen this so clear.
No I have never seen this so clear.

I am terrorized, cut off from your sight.
Is there anyone that can save me?
Cut off from your sight in this hostile world.
I'm cut off from your sight in this hostile world.
There's a hole in my heart.
I have found a way to feel alive.

Will you help me to escape this abyss below?
I'm my own worst enemy, the knife in my own back.
My mind is a tragedy, it's killing me.
But I have never seen this so clear.
The enemy stands in the mirror.
I know You are the only one.
I know You are the only one to save me from myself.

Rest & Let Go - 2014

-Fragile Wings-

Be still my weary soul
I can feel you're gone
With every step I take
I lay you down
It's so hard to stand
To see you at the end

Buried deep inside the ground

Fragile wings were broken
Glory think of me
Nightmares have awoken
Can you hear the screams?

A bearer left astray
A drifter thrown in disarray
Here I lay
One more little traveller
Gone like gusts of wind
Just another vapor at end

Fragile wings were broken
Glory think of me
Nightmares have awoken
Can you hear the screams?

Ghosts of who she used to be
I can feel her haunting me
Feel it dancing inside
Feel it take its place

I'm lost until you find me
The pain uprising
Glory, glory mend these broken wings

Be still my weary soul
It's time to let go

Rid me of this torture
Awake me from this dream
Or rid me of my own breath
If you can't mend these wings

Glory think of me

-Paper Thin Houses-

As you sleep walk along my paper thin house
I can hear your footsteps lingering
Then disappear into the void
Will I find you your home to rest, your head

I know you are searching for shelter
A drifter between this earth
An angel who lost all her hope

Someday fly over me
Rest your stride sleepwalker

As you walk in the dark
I can't see you anymore
Where ever you are
You have disappeared somewhere between here and there

The lonely life of a sleepwalker
Burned with regret
Such pain that wouldn't recede
Let life get the best of me

Will you ever find a place in peace
Someday fly over me
Rest your stride sleepwalker
One day you will be free
To rest your eyes sleepwalker

You will find a place to rest your head
You will find a place to rest

Someday fly over me
Rest your stride sleepwalker
One day you will be free
To rest your eyes sleepwalker

-The Structure / The Foundation-

She is buried in my heart
And I take her wherever I go
Many questions consuming my head
Please stay and I will carry you to the edge

As the structure, the foundation of my heart breaks
I won't let it tear us apart

I have no place to run
And I won't let it take you
No I won't
Give me the remedy
Give me something to see
I won't let you go

As the structure, the foundation of my heart breaks
I won't let it tear us apart

From her fallen body flowers will grow
Rest your tired eyes
From her fallen body flowers will grow

As the structure, the foundation of my heart breaks
I won't let it tear us apart

-Finer Fiend-

All my life the water has come up to my neck
I'm treading deep water
What misery do you have left for me
Hold me steadfast
Let not the flood sweep over me

These wolves and thieves, have got the best of me
From this misery
I won't rest until I satisfy their attraction
I am the finer fiend

All my life I've had a heart of stone
I'm sinking in my dead bone
Revolt
In all that we've become
Revolt
My dead bones

Afraid of what might happen if I let you in
Would it be the end of me
If I let you in what would you discover
This broken heart I can not dispose
Dispose
Let it out

These wolves and thieves have go the best of me
From this misery
I won't rest until I satisfy their attraction
I am the finer fiend
I am

Revolt in all that we've become
Awake my dead bones

-Deluded-

How deluded my act and logic must be
How deluded, was it them or was it me
I have believed that my thoughts were designed to mislead
How deluded
Return to the Father of Lights

-Scarlet Wool-

Come now wind
Sweep me off my feet
Take my breath
Take everything you see

I'm on the run agai
So come now wind

Oh lord, I'm on the run
From fears that always seem to bind me
I'm somewhere in between
I'm red, crimson red
I am scarlet stained wool
With no hope of my own

Come now wind
Sweep me off my feet
Take my breath
Take everything you see

I'm on the run again
Come now wind
Catch me like a leaf

Oh, father, I can't keep moving on
I'm at the end of my scars
At the end of it all
Take me
Take me where I need to go
Take me home
Father, oh, father take me home

Come now wind
Sweep me off my feet
Take my breath
Take everything you see

I'm on the run again
Come now wind
Catch me like a leaf

I was dust before the wind
Just a fragment of dirt
Covered in skin
With a restless longing till the end

-Death March-

I am flesh
I am flesh and bone
Afraid to lose control
Memories resurfacing makes it hard to breathe
They will take over me
I am nothing but flesh and bone

Will this be buried
No
Will this be buried
No
Can we forget
Can we forget all the things we have seen
Can we forget

Can I win this war I have bestowed on myself
Oh no I have lost myself again
My Father I've tried
My Father I've lied
Please take me from this
I am nothing but flesh and bone

Will this be buried
No
Will this be buried
No
Can we forget
Can we forget all the tings we have seen
Can we forget

-The Ferryman, Charon-

[Instrumental]

-Uproot-

Dear God I fear my mistakes and snakes
I've let bite at my feet
Will take me down into the depths
How did I ever sink this far
As I descend

I have lost all my intent
I have created my own little Hell
A tomb I so badly want out of

Reaching out, helpless, desperate
With my final breath
So come down, come down
My veins are becoming roots in this hollow ground

Everything is dark
Shed the dead skin
Break through the barrier
I am the ugliest of man

Over and over again
Dear God how long will I live like I'm dead
I'm done wasting away
Buried alive
I see hope inside
Inside me

Reaching out, helpless, desperate
With my final breath
So come down, come down
My veins are becoming roots in this hollow ground

Dig me out, dig me out
Uproot my putrid rotting body
Dear God, I am alive
Awake my dead bones
Awake my dead body

-Give Light To My Eyes-

I can feel it hover over my shoulder
As I get older it doesn't go away

I need a way out of this
It never ends
And I don't want to spend my whole life
Scared of what comes when I dissolve

You can see past the darkest of me
There is something inside
Watch as the sky gives light to my eyes
Awaken me, awaken me

Lost in this room I choose to live in
Am I stranded here
I have waited all my life
So I could find you here

Is this the end
Is this the end of me

You can see past the darkest of me
There is something inside
Watch as the sky gives light to my eyes
Awaken me, awaken me

I can feel it
Feel the dawn over my shoulder
Illuminate me
You see past the darkest part of me

-Depraved-

You could take me home and never leave me alone
Break this heart of stone
Then I could dance

Broken, we are all the same
Vices locked inside our frames
Desperate and depraved is all we are

Everyone's loved, but nobody's lovely
Everyone's low, but nobody's lowlyv Everyone blames but nobody's blameless
Everyone shames but nobody's shameless
Everyone's used but nobody's useless
