Hold On 03:29
Hold on to the other side of everything Cause I don’t know where I went wrong I don’t know where I belong Hold on, cause I don’t think you’re right for him With all these games of make pretend I don’t quite know where to begin Hold on, they’re telling me so I don’t go To the other side of everything Another life another dream Where cold songs are warm enough to stay alive Winter’s coming stay inside With this made up paradise Hold on, hold on, hold on… I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna know Hold on, hold on, hold on… I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna know Hold on, hold on, hold on… I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna know

The Spring 04:30
Certain kind of melancholy, Suicidal tendency No direction, insurrection When I’m flying clip my wings Too much pressure on my spring She’s in space and he’s on paper Choose your doctors carefully Mirror shattered, mind in tatters This is really happening Too much pressure on my spring Too much pressure on my spring Skinny grimace, pale complexion Milestones and adderall Out of money only Tuesday Lost my hearing, therapy Too much pressure on my spring Too much pressure on my spring

The Shore 03:58
The calm that passed called in the storm The sirens screech pulled me ashore I long to rest my head in sand To topple over where I stand Ambition drove me through the maelstrom I lost myself throughout the tandem To handle all my wants and needs The current calls to set me free Guide me from the shore Show me all the blues and greens Guide me from the shore Show me everything between And we’ll swim Drowning in my dreams of laughter Chasing sleep and what I’m after Take me deep into the water Feeling free don’t let me falter I lost my sense of what is real Justify what I can feel Touch the sky and reach the sun I’ve seen it all and there were none Guide me from the shore Show me all the blues and greens Guide me from the shore Show me everything between And we’ll swim

Shadows 04:54
Shadows speak Shadows listen Attached to your feet, A friend and enemy A burden of the past, A memory suppressed Sad words left unsaid, My hope? Demise? A premonition... Her eyes dart away Her eyes dart away Honey baby you know I try You know I try Come away, You never wanna stay Smoke in the sky Covers the day Since I been cryin' 'Round your door My lady picks up all my blankets from her floor Her eyes dart away Her eyes dart away Honey baby you know I try You know I try I see you laying on the pavement I cant hear you anymore I see you bleeding on the pavement I cant hear you anymore anymore The gears in this engine are Running down Fears I been fearing without a sound Her eyes dart away Her eyes dart away Honey baby you know I try You know I try

The Fall 03:21
As I wait to hear my fate I contemplate The fruitful feeling that rebirth might bring With each passing step Stepped with your consent To live a lie, to follow you so blindly As I fall into the abyss I sure do miss The simple songs that the birds once sang With each shallow breath Inhaled with no regret To live a lie, to throw this life of mine away
6.
Bustling city, hustling man Truth belies their words of wisdom Gray concrete, broken city streets Covered in snow, blanket white sheets So let the cards fall where they may I wont be there Skyscrapers glimmer, piercing the sky Floating lights dance suspended and high Our memories linger in forgotten space Perspective gives light to a forgotten face So let the cards fall where they may I wont be there Our laughter still echoes the halls we once ran And our voices leave impressions like footprints in sand

Stella 04:36
There were many times that I called you I called you over cause you caught my eye There were many things I should’ve told you But instead I kept it all inside Because you had to be the one To sing your stupid songs And get everyone to sing along But I just want you to know I wanted you so… So freaking bad I’m going mad There were many times that I held you I brought you closer to everything I did You provide the inspiration For all these songs I try and sing Cause you had to be the one To sing your stupid songs And get everyone to sing along But I just want you to know I wanted you so… So freaking bad I’m going mad Cause you had to be the one To sing your stupid songs And get everyone to sing along But I just want you to know I wanted you so… So freaking bad I’m going mad

Keep your eyes on the heavy mountainside Let your dreams spill and swallow all your pride Now close your eyes Leave those dreams behind Let your heart set behind the shallow water Let your mind race on all which you desire Hold it close Then let it go Cursed with the touch of Midas where did the sun go? The oceans of the golden coast swallowed it whole We reap land for others yet forced to give up what we grow Just let it go, just let it go… Once the smoke clears forget about the feeling Oh the truth hurts, takes time to find good healing Hold it close Then let it go Let your heart set behind the shallow water Let your mind race on all which you desire Hold it close Then let me go Cursed with the touch of Midas where did the sun go? The oceans of the golden coast swallowed it whole We reap land for others yet forced to give up what we grow Just let it go, just let it go…

Lackawanna 04:40
Told me where to go I got lost anyway At a crossroad of steel Finding my way You told me theres a place To get what I need A gateway to grace I’ll get in for free I quicksand my time Lay it out and flatten it I’m a knife without a handle You handled it At the black and white station With no in betweens Last call for the rest of your life So it seems I’ll meet you down there Where everyone goes Where our tracks meets the river And the clocktower glows And the whistle blows on. All aboard! Next stop is yours And the coal gets burned Spreading the grime Smoke blurs behind And the steel wheels turn Chugging along Faster and faster and faster There’s no return Only the thoughts of what Could've been What could’ve been
