Verse 1 Shuffle through each passing day Empty faces all alone Concrete madness, moments slip away Lonely hearts set in stone Chorus Rise from the ashes of the ordinary Rise from the night Shed the solitary, no more momentary Rise from the ashes of the ordinary day Verse 2 Faceless messages, barely words Voices echo, no reply Pretenders in imaginary worlds Kissing empathy goodbye Chorus Rise from the ashes of the ordinary Rise from the night Shed the solitary, no more momentary Rise from the ashes of the ordinary day Verse 3 Common tragedy, daily misery Yet you never meet my eyes Constant rivers flood our ears And now they leave us hypnotized Chorus Rise from the ashes of the ordinary Rise from the night Shed the solitary, no more momentary Rise from the ashes of the ordinary day Last Chorus Rise up and reach for the extraordinary Rise up to the sky Stoke the fire, ever higher Rise from the ashes of the ordinary

Verse 1 Covered ears, no input needed A silent veil, a comfort shroud Wisdom's words, you never heed them Protected from their thoughts so loud Prechorus Your misery's No match for endless vanity Chorus Whispers glide in your cold light sorrow Shadows pass away Wake from the night Reach for the bright Hold on to the day Verse 2 Close your eyes to vision's grandeur Hide behind a wall of pride Shelter from their sight's demanding You're safe away from prying eyes Prechorus Your misery's No match for endless vanity Chorus Whispers glide in your cold light sorrow Shadows pass away Wake from the night Reach for the bright Hold on to the day Prechorus Your misery's No match for endless vanity Chorus Whispers glide in your cold light sorrow Shadows pass away Wake from the night Reach for the bright Hold on to the day Whispers glide in your cold light sorrow Shadows pass away Wake from the night Reach for the bright Hold on to the day

Hourglass 03:48
Hourglass Verse 1 I feel the mist And hear the echoes On the path I chose Remember mornings in solitary gray Wet and cold On the road Face another day Dark clouds hovering, masking what I say to you Verse 2 I lift my voice And fear no answer Amid the common banter All around, now I've lost my mind No comfort In the silence Clinging to my small defiance No shelter, no escape from the counterpoint of time Chorus My words like grains of sand Falling in this hourglass My words just fade in silence Trapped inside this hourglass Verse 3 I share my words And bare my soul Each passing day I pay the toll My essence, dried and crumbling, scattered cross the ground Flowing past Waning river My words, not delivered Can't break the silence crashing in from all around Chorus My words like grains of sand Falling in this hourglass My words just fade in silence Trapped inside this hourglass

Verse 1 Counting pieces, building walls Passing moments, like summer to fall Don’t realize, the stagger's soon after the crawl Verse 2 Hide your faces, behind a mask Substance is too much too ask Don’t realize, connection is not just a task Chorus We are the ghosts of tomorrow Our moment's only borrowed Lost in the eddies of this dream Verse 3 Lost in transit, behind the wheel These headlines are so unreal Don’t realize, madness has such an appeal Chorus We are the ghosts of tomorrow Our moment's only borrowed Lost in the eddies of this dream We are the ghosts of tomorrow Our moment's only borrowed Lost in the eddies of this dream Chorus We are the ghosts of tomorrow Our moment's only borrowed Lost in the eddies of this dream We are the ghosts of tomorrow Our moment's only borrowed Lost in the eddies of this dream

My Ruin 05:16
Verse 1 Let me caress your imperfections Let me retrace your jagged bones Each hour passes, dismal, each flower’s petal turns No rest for the weary Chorus I try to stand on shoulders meant for heroes And try to let you in Please take me by the hand Begin your mending Rebuild my inner ruin Verse 2 Take me for all the hell that I am Feel my heart, our cosmic pulse No wonder, loss has been my lifelong journey All others have been false Chorus I try to stand on shoulders meant for heroes And try to let you in Please take me by the hand Begin your mending Rebuild my inner ruin Chorus I try to stand on shoulders meant for heroes And try to let you in Please take me by the hand Begin your mending Rebuild my inner ruin You are ruined too…

Verse 1 Wilted clouds and heavy sky Amber waves of gray Drown in rain and bleed me dry Drive my mind away        Prechorus Down, down, deep beneath Away my chances slowly seep Down, down, deep beneath Grains of sand, my soul to keep Chorus Stumbling through my waking hours Quicksand in my veins Gasping in these black waters Quicksand in my veins Verse 2 Black thorns pierce my aching heart Fears I can't explain Dark pain tears my soul apart Hopeless, crushing pain        Prechorus (1/2) Down, down, deep beneath Grains of sand, my soul to keep Chorus Stumbling through my waking hours Quicksand in my veins Gasping in these black waters Quicksand in my veins Stumbling through my waking hours Quicksand in my veins Gasping in these black waters Quicksand in my veins

Hollow Eyes 03:40
Verse 1 A river cries Glide past the water Across the ground Moon falls in shadows On the hunt Creep through heavy silence Embrace the night alone Verse 2 A rising howl Plea for another Dusk to dawn Eternal, solitary Still this night Waits for an answer Embrace the night alone Chorus Hollow eyes, beneath dark skies Moonlight in the night like a cold disguise Hollow eyes, hollow eyes Tears don't cry Lost in… Bridge Hollow eyes, beneath dark skies Moonlight, a cold disguise Tears don't cry Lost in hollow eyes Chorus (out) Hollow eyes, beneath dark skies Moonlight in the night like a cold disguise Hollow eyes, hollow eyes Tears don't cry Lost in… Hollow eyes, beneath dark skies Moonlight in the night like a cold disguise Hollow eyes, hollow eyes Tears don't cry Hollow eyes

Verse 1 March in silence, bitter cold Safety in this heavy load Hope forgotten all around Souls lost on snowy ground Prechorus Steal away in the dark of night Shelter here just out of sight Verse 2 Four times my path has failed Dark cell, bloody nails Tonight I breathe you in Reach for your star again Prechorus Steal away in the dark of night Shelter here just out of sight Chorus I will find you Leave behind this bitter end Verse 3 Had no choice, told hell goodbye Moments from the day I'd die This quiet path to the unknown Lead me to you, to my home Prechorus Steal away in the dark of night Shelter here just out of sight Chorus I will find you Leave behind this bitter end

To the Sun 03:28
Verse 1 Heartbeat canyon Garden wall Towers distant Echoes call Staggered edges Not undone Moments in the Rising sun Verse 2 Glowing rivers Icy flows Decorated Ever old Sheer and mighty Ancient stone Carved defiance Nature’s own Prechorus Don't look down Hold your breath Onwards climb And never rest Don't look down You'll fall through the seams Verse 3 Crawling forward Standing time Any moment Stopping dime Stone fall swerve Blinding curve Bleached knuckles Frantic nerves Prechorus Don't look down Hold your breath Onwards climb And never rest Don't look down You'll fall through the seams Chorus Go to the sun Reach for the sky Forever fly Verse 4 Hairpin turnstile Asphalt flashback Wandering gravel Faultline cracks Mindless pavement Wasted wall Shear shoulder Winding tall Crawling forward Standing time Any moment Stopping dime Stone fall swerve Blinding curve Bleached knuckles Frantic nerves Prechorus Don't look down Hold your breath Onwards climb And never rest Don't look down You'll fall through the seams Chorus Go to the sun Reach for the sky Forever fly Go to the… Reach for the… Forever fly Go to the sun Reach for the sky Forever fly Go to the sun Reach for the sky Forever fly
