Make Me Live
04:26

Take me down
I know the sound
Of my heart
When it starts
And I can't deny you set me on fire
Now we're running past the edge
Letting go of all that's left
We're covering new ground
Bringing the whole world down
Wrap your arms around and
Heal my heart more than allowed
You make me live
The resilient flame
It will remain
Burning as it breaks
Yet it's so sublime in the way you shine

Move (Remix)

Open up your eyes before goodbyes and see what you're missing
Right in front all the while, I see it in your smile when you're reminiscing
So conditioned I know I'm forgetting time in another season of living
We gotta break away, from what remains
Don't let this life get you down
Not gonna run away, not laying blame
Put your hand in mine and don't turn around
It's funny how one thing can make you change and guilt becomes your debtor
It's often hard to digest, so we mourn the rest when the move is for the better
Looking back on those days, long gone are warm rays, but I still remember
I still remember

Hold On
05:01
|

|
Driving faster than we should
Look out the window and the now is blurred
The scenery, it seems to have this pull
From one thing to the next we turn
But you and me, we got this thing...
Hold on
Looking back on all that's changed
The unknown is still the hardest thing
Life was simpler then but the living wasn't
And it rarely ends up like you'd think
But you and me, we still got us...
Hold on
All the choices I have made lead me right back here
Now I know that we can make it, any time, any where
It might not ever be as easy as we'd want
Let all else change but us
Hold on

Awakening
05:27
|
|||
|
The consequence often alters how much I give it
For so long I've been afraid to admit my fears
Now I'm looking forward to keep from falling back again
I'll always have the part of me that got me here
How I get there is what matters
The means that justifies the end
All of me, awakening
All for this, all for this
With every beat, the red running
All of this, all of this
For one thing
Will I stop striving and just try to give up and quit?
Because I now know the outcome?
No just the opposite as I run on fire after it
You are now the hope that I can lean on
All this pain and suffering can never match the joy you bring

What are you looking for he said
Already knowing the answer, just as I did
There's not much difference between us
And in the end this world eats us all alive
Are you alive?
I am drifting and diffused
Often overdrawn, and somehow underused
But as exception becomes the rule
My direction shines through clearly
I see all I ever need in me and you
Those five words have stuck with me
Living long past the grasp of our reach
Some of the last I heard from him
Famous only in the impact they can give
Do they give?

Breathless Pt 1
04:24
|
|||
|
Lately I've been facing my own mortality
And I don't like the look that it's been giving me
Though it helps me focus on what's good
Still I know better than to be enamored of
A youth before I knew I was loved
I wouldn't go back if I could
Because we're not made to stay here forever
But we'll fight the fade til we're breathless
What's here matters in this moment
Just know I'm always with you in this
And in memories we are endless
That's how we carry on
When I'm old I know there will be so much
That I wish I had done
But that alone won't keep me going
When I'm gone I'll live on in a memory
Of someone that needed me
And that's why I carry on
When I breathe my last and I am at rest
Just know that I'll wait for you in what comes next
When the middle ground eludes us, elates us, or consumes us
Remember me and you

Breathless Pt 2

The glow, the warmth of your soul
The energy on me when you are this close
This fire inside gets us through the flames
I'm heart locked, I'll never stop, now that I'm awake
Fight the fade until we're breathless
Be forever fragile yet relentless
Blood for blood and breath for breath
Until there is nothing left to come between us
Be relentless
Entangled - in a way I can't explain
Just know I never want to change it
Breathe me and burn my memory
With vulnerability to see you for you and me for me
I can see the light jump from you
Transformed into a wondrous hue
A universe you are of overflowing stars
A sanguine covering, cascading over all
Meet me in the middle where we both give our lives
The ember rekindled, more than compromise
We are not very far from our own heart's desire
The dream that is everything, burning though not by fire
As we give ourselves away to gain
Something greater than what would remain
Blood for Blood
Breath for Breath
Until there is nothing left

The Calm and The Crush
08:18
|
|||

Here on my own
Lonely though never alone
I still need to know, do you feel the same
How it's meant to be
Right here within our reach
You mean more to me than I could ever replace
When it comes to us forever is never enough
In the calm and the crush I'm on your side
So don't give up and hold on as we run
We'll make it up where we collide
I'm leaving you this note
So you can be my hope
When things don't go the way that we had planned
If you ever forget just refer back to it
And remember all we had, and will again
Just so you know, we got a long way to go
But I don't mind cause that gives us more time
Just to be you and me

Spoken

One thing in life I know for sure
I'll run out of time a moment before
Because no one finishes everything they've started
But I won't try to filter and divide
Cause I'd miss out on a sweet surprise
And diminish the growing thereby imparted
I've been around long enough to know
That everyone makes it up as they go
We all just made a silent pact not to notice
And just between me and you
No one really has a clue
And it's so freeing now that it's spoken
I would be lost without you I'm sure
But the thing is, I've been lost before
So why don't we find each other?
Just hear me when I say I got this
Might not be safe, but that's the gist
Everything you ask of me, but not to the letter
The endless skies we have to gain
With sudden smiles found on the way
Still you're too far away for me
I've been running through it in my head
With no chance to ever catch my breath
Just know that I've never outside of your reach

In Time
04:28

Standing here waiting
For something to change when
It already has
All my hesitation
Wrapped up in the aching
Over nothing that lasts
Our future is fading
And I'm contemplating
The things in my past
"What could have been" replacing
Every glory that was nascent
And why would I ever go back?
Nothing I could have chosen
Could ever be more important
Than the time I've spent with you
And as long as I have you
It'll all work out in time
There's really nothing else I couldn't lose
It'll all work out in time
I'd like to say if only I knew for sure I'd own it
But I don't think that's true
I find myself here caught up in the idea
Of what I could do
Potential paralyzing me often more than anything
I just need to move
The weight of possibility numbing as it anchors me
Still bound to what I might lose

Undivided

I know how all of this turns out
The opposite of what we want, or are about
Haze clouds our eyes when our world is on fire
The hunger and the drought, the sunder and the doubt
But ashes don't last, they feed the ground for the next pyre
To allow the blaze to burn brighter and higher
Anger is a gift, but use it wisely
Allow it to motivate and inspire
As we rise, on wings of fire
Lift your eyes and shine
The weight is lighter
When we become undivided
It's easy to become a people of convenience
As we are numbed with too much of just things
Hate is the most powerful thing when love is absent
Ignorance reigns when understanding is lacking
Keep in mind what are we trying to accomplish with all of this
While arguments and discourse are a key part of all of it
Realize we can't divorce ourselves from the source of importance
Otherwise we're just burning the world down with separate torches

I get caught up in the idea of us
And oftentimes that's easier to love
But it can't compete with the real thing
When you're closest
One step beyond where we understand
Not the way we intend, but worth it in the end
The easiest doesn't equal the best
Now I see, I can't be me without you
The faded half of these photographs
Don't matter as much now when I look back
The distance brings the right things
Into focus
One step beyond where we understand
It all changes and I think that I want it to
The easiest doesn't equal the best
Now I see, I can't be me without you
