There

If the wheels fall off,
be at peace.
If death is near,
be at peace.
When winter comes,
be at peace.
When you've run out,
be at peace.
We own nothing
control nothing
Hold on tight
but remain wanting.
Cause we all own nothing,
we control nothing.
Hold on tight
but still remain wanting.
It's meaningless, it's meaningless.
The rivers run but never overflow.
So I give up.
And then I'm blessed.
Then I win.
There I live.
There I die.
Hills are for those who know.
Hills are for those who can climb them
for those who ride them
reach only valleys.

The Only Purpose
04:48
|

|
As we drove up the coast,
I listened to the bumps in the road.
Use the background noise to search my thoughts
and how much of this life I do not know.
I look at the animals
it seems their only purpose is to die
and it may be the same for you and I
so I will just accept that I will die.

Stop Dreaming
04:19

When you laid down to sleep,
did you check the clock?
While you were at rest,
were your eyes moving?
Were you sleeping in
when we all awoke?
Stop dreaming.
Get ready for the wake up.
We've done all we can,
but you wouldn't budge.
We cared for you,
but you weren't listening.
Stop dreaming.
Get ready for the wake up.
Such a deep sleep.
What if this is only the night?
Do you believe the day is still coming?
Then get ready.
Stop dreaming.
Get ready for the wake up.

Seasons End Pt. 1

Come on leaves, fall down, down, down
Surround me in an old coal town
Come on black clouds, cover me
Be my fuel for memory.

Four Years
04:12
|

Two thousand miles is long
but can be short if you dream.
It's up to you and to me
to find the springs of steam.
Will I know when that moment
is not the future no more?
Will I know when I look at your face that
this time it means for good?
A thousand miles can be
how far I'd go to know
for long or short this might lead
and both our hearts will grow.
Will I know when that moment
is not the future no more?
Will I know when I look at your face that
this time it means for good?
Four years is too long.
Let's not do it again.
To see you not see me
to see me not see you.
If absence makes the heart grow fonder
this distance makes my resolve stronger.
Stronger and stronger.
Fonder and fonder.

Summer Alone
02:59
|

|
I know that you say
that you miss me
but I just can't see
how it could be.
I know that you say
that you love me
but I just can't see
how it could be
when you're miles away from me.

Self Aware
04:09
|

|
Welcome back, it's good to see you
I'll tell you all the things I've been through.
Days I lived, nights I cried
and the places that I've been to.
What I've learned, what I've gained
when I failed and felt the pain.
One more step to being whole
One day closer til I am new
Further from the dying years
Closer to the perfect days.
Come hear about the awful truth
and what I know about my fading youth.
What has changed, what remains
what will always stay the same.
What I've learned, what I've gained
when I failed and felt the pain.
One more step to being whole
One day closer til I am new
Further from the dying years
Closer to the perfect days.
I have become self-aware.

Houses On Ashes
03:19

The last great western hill in Orange.
You cannot conquer us.
You cannot build on us.
You were not there when the waters rose
and the earth was cleansed from its wickedness.
We were rulers, we were kings.
Our thrones were high and unreachable.
But you came and cut us down.
Tore into us. Built your houses on us.
The last great western hill in Orange.
We were rulers, we were kings.
Our thrones were high and unreachable.
But you came and cut us down.
Tore into us. Built your houses on our ashes.
You can conquer us, walk all over us.
But when you're lost and in the dark, you will wander. You will see shapes. You will hear sounds. You will wonder if we have eyes.
And your fear will be enough for us.

Autumn Age
04:50
|

|
I am earth.
In my twilight of years,
I can feel the strain.
The groaning of millennia
weighing on my flesh.
Caught in throes of death
Century 21.
When I come to my last,
then I will be re-made.
My final battle with the enemy
we will prevail.
One last march before the victory
we will prevail.
We'll give it all for all the world to see
we will prevail.
And free ourselves for all eternity
we will prevail.
He will reign from that day to the end.

Wonder
04:57

I wonder if I'd ever write bluegrass
I wonder if you'd ever rock out.
And I wonder if we have enough to last
but I wonder if we'd last anyway.
I wonder if we have enough to last
but I wonder if we'd last any other way.
I wonder if I'd be sunburnt year-round
I wonder if we'd stand on a mountain.
And I wonder if we have enough to last
but I wonder if we'd last anyway.
I wonder if we have enough to last
but I wonder if we'd last any other way.
What I mean to say is I don't want to know
if I'll last without you.
What I mean to say is I don't want to know
where the inspiration comes from then.
