Brother, I've worried about you. You’re so much stronger than I am.
Maybe that's the reason I'm so tired. And I could never go through that again.
If we hold our breath until our lips turn blue.
The water is cold and flows from a surrounding room.
Just let it go; don't worry about what might have been.
We'll live
Brother, I was losing focus. It took a lot of reins to pull me in.
But never have I once looked back and wondered; If everything was different, what then?
If we hold our breath until our lips turn blue.
The water is cold and flows from a surrounding room.
Just let it go; don't worry about what might have been.
We'll live
Mother, I'm sorry if I hurt you; If I ever made you feel ashamed.
‘Cuz Mother, I'd be lost without you and I don't want to cause you any pain.
If we hold our breath until our lips turn blue.
The water is cold and flows from a surrounding room.
Just let it go; don't worry about what might have been.
We'll live

Wake Up
02:43

When there’s trouble all the time, you start to expect it
When you leave the past behind you learn to accept it.
When you need to change your mind, I’ll help you achieve it.
But if all the work you do don’t make you believe it.
Close your eyes, walk with me.
We’ll make a beautiful history.
Feel your nerves begin to fray.
Wake up; it’s a brand new day

Window

I can take the rain on my window any day.
Everything you say can be misconstrued today.
And I’ll try to be what you want me to be.
I can take the rain on my window any day.
Everything you say can be misconstrued today.
Every time a window opens up, another shuts.
But I can take the rain on my window any day.
And I’d die to be all that you want me to be.

The Lift

He can still remember laughter through the elevator door,
as he turned to walk four flights down to the street.
For the peace that he required, better the stairs than empty stares.
He flew out the door, but never left his feet.
Looking for redemption and a place to make his name,
knowing he’d have no one else to blame.
You can’t rely on any fool to be irresponsible for you.
Took a turn on 57th and climbed into another car,
with his thoughts alone, still clearing out the stars.
As the afternoon expired, around the curtain she’d display,
presenting herself by a different name.
Just minutes seemed to pass before they stood beneath the glass,
Falling with just one question to ask.
But you can’t rely on any fool to be irresponsible for you.
Charting maps and making drawings, bottles of wine upon the wall,
looking for that final port of call.
And through the time that they acquire, they’ll lose track of all the scores.
Be thankful for those elevator doors.

The Animals
03:28

Don't speak, don't forget to breathe,
The animals are not keeping their peace.
They'll flee, their bodies bleed,
The enemy has brought them to their knees
In twilight, everything seems bright,
The whole world is on fire.
Shadows start to creep around,
the night takes on the sound of those voice calling, hoping to be found.
Crying, "you lied!"
Race the dawn,
Running 'til the morn'
And following the sun.
When they emerged out of the night,
On their backs the loads were light,
But no voice was heard and no one was in sight.
Crying, "you lied!"

Forgiveness
02:52

Compare the gaps in our lives,
The struggles and mysteries.
To what it takes to get by,
And purchase your victory.
And all the choices we've made,
Determined our history.
And the road that we've traveled is true,
It's the road that would lead me to you.
I guess for argument's sake,
We'll bring it all back to this.
Things we never forgave,
That always distracted us.
And all the things that you save,
Are simply collecting dust.
And the road that we've traveled is true,
It's the road that would lead me to you.
