We were both young when we knew we had love in our arms
Now our love has brought a new face to love and protect
I am 18 and I'm growing up buy not apart from you
You were 18 when you gave her life and took my hand
She'll grow up fast in the house we made covered in love always
Well go down down to the lake where she learned how to swim
We have her fear of the Lord, it will stay in her heart and soul
Worries are gone with her smile she takes all of our fears
away night has come again she brings us day
Soon shell be just like you but we have to let her grow into the girl she wants one we love to know
Our age wont matter to us or her because were old in love

Take A Breath
06:16

I forgot why I forgot why I laugh
when we walk we all walk the same path
We all run we all run the same road
it ends when when we start and when we go
We go We go to war and we fight
We drop bombs bombs that kill and leave nuclear scars
The wind blows and it tells tells who we are
its not kind its not kind to those who kill
We were blessed we were blessed with a clean name
Until guns, until the guns, until they claimed
ten thousand ten thousand lives that never came
And the voices I hear voices they all say the same
put down put down the guns and pick up the paint
grab a brush instead of hand grenades
Mother said she said bombs wont drop
when you arent playing the role of a prop
Face down Face down in the dirt
I saw him saw him lie there blood on his shirt
I fell fell to my knees and played for his soul
I prayed I prayed he could live more
I saw the flash of his eye gone so fast
I thought how long will will this last
How long will names be known known by the grave
I hope and I pray they have been saved
I wish for for the end of all the death
when will when will the world just take a breath

Death of the Sun
03:50
|
|||
|
I walked across the street barely breathing
Everything is still
Hands in my pocket, black suede shoes
Where is your soul? Have you lost the will
Tonight you'll truly sleep among the Heavens
Rest your head on clouds
Put in a good word to the One
With Thorns on His brow
I looked down at you so beautiful
in your last minutes with me
you broke through the glass
and the chains of the sea
The moon hits your eyes
shining so bright
what happened to my sun
and its transcendent light
You'll think of me
and I'll think of you
Wait at the gates
I'll be there soon
Does your head hurt
from the soil falling down
You never got to wear
that white wedding gown
I got on one knee
and pulled out your ring
slipped it on your finger
I could almost hear you sing
Don't leave
Please stay with me
I'll wake up tomorrow
this must all be a dream
I loved her
with my heart and my soul
give me her back and
Ill be her all
Bring me to her or
her to me
give us the chance
to be happy
its the death of the sun
its bad for everyone
its the death of the sun
its bad for everyone
I looked right at you so beautiful
in your eternal minutes with me
we broke through the glass
and the chains of the world

Is It Better Mr. Meadow?

I'll be happy when the world ends
I'll sit and watch people run from what they've become
with content in my eyes and a smile on my face
I wont run in this pointless race
I know the world better than you
All things that smile sadly aren't true
The things that are I understand
And we dont belong, belong to this land
Ill be happy when the world ends
So North I'll go with Heaven in mind
I'll be gone, gone for some time
I'll only return if I cant complete
The bridge that makes the two worlds meet
I'll cry and sing and who will listen
He who can complete my mission
To rest well retire our callused hands
Tomorrow's the seventh, so He'll understand
Ill be happy when the world ends
Together well laugh
As everything crashes
returning to stone
Its better I know
Its better I know
Is it better, I don't know

Sandcastle Kingdom
02:44

I climbed to the peak of a Sandcastle Kingdom
Where I saw for miles and felt the freedom
I came down fast, it was more like a crash
With two old legs, you cant walk back
Let me wake up slow I hope you dont mind
Giving me the morning before you take away the time
The orange sun you can keep as your own
With my back turned I'm heading home
The rapids have picked up speed, they wont slow down
I should never have crossed it, never left town
You tried to go up, but you just spun around
Waiving a white flag as you entered the ground
Let me wake up slow I hope you dont mind
Giving me the morning before you take away the time
The orange sun you can keep as your own
With my back turned I'm all alone

You Know It's Over
03:56

I know its over
So why even try
What are we doing
Besides living a lie
And we said words
Sounded so pure
Now were sick
Without a cure
I take back something
Somethings I said
We stay together
It's all in our heads
You cant seem to leave
Just for an hour
Ill take what's mine
And you'll take whats ours
Where are the stars
We use to watch
Where are the words
We dont even talk
You know its over
So why do you stay
Next to me
In bed where I lay
The stars wont shine
Neither do I
Your smile wont warm
Like it did in my mind

First Tears of Winter
05:48
|

Its the first tears of winter
streaming down from my eyes
Sorrow fills my heart
that I'll never find the one that's right
So I lay here
alone like I will every night
for the last days
the last days of my life
The sun set
on everything I once held dear
Cowarding
Hidden by blankets of hear
That I'll be just noise
A lost voice no one can hear
Our time is through
The end has drawn near
I lay awake
no stranger to the starry sky
There's feelings
We both know we should no longer hide
I look in you
For someone I know I'll never find
This once great lie
Is something we must leave behind
The sun set
on everything I once held dear
Cowarding
Hidden by blankets of hear
That I'll be just noise
A lost voice no one can hear
Our time is through
The end has drawn near
Is it too late
to get back what we once had
Or is our love
to far gone to far past
Have we changed
outgrown what we thought would last
Its the first tears of winter
streaming down from my eyes
I look in you
For someone I know I'll never find
This once great lie
is something we must leave behind
its the first tears of winter
streaming down from my eyes

Gone (Flowers)
04:44
|
|||
|
I had to leave
I could not stay
My life starts
So far away
Its hard for you
To get use to alone
I Promise one day
I'll come back home
Wont you come back home
I love it out here
where I can breath
its so much better
than dieing asleep
I didn't mean
to leave you alone
I might one day
I might come back home
Wont you come back home
I shed some tears
but that's all they were
not once have I
wished to return
I know it hurts
to be alone
Maybe one day
I'll come back home
Won't you come back home
Ive blossomed like a flower
in the sweet spring air
I would wither
in that place back there
I feel the pain
of being alone
but there's nothing you can say
to make me come back home
Right here
is better for me
For the first time
I feel free
Please don't come back home

Calling A Storm
02:43
|
|||
|
In a few months
I'll forget your name
Give it one year
You'll do the same
Its hard to hear
Coming from me
But my heart aches
so graciously
I'm calling a storm
I'm asking for waves
To shift what we know
To change our fate
Was I only looking
or did you see it too
A changing notion
Between me and you
To grow apart
Is this what I wanted
To end what we have
And be forgotten
I'm calling a storm
I'm asking for clouds
To tell me the truth
To show me how
You love the sun
I can't bring a storm
I can't make it cold
When you love what's warm
So I'll forget
Just what I've planned
And tell you I love you
Like I always have
