Fire Season

VERSE 1
I had the best lot
But it was ripped from my hands
Now my land is a wilderness.
I was master of my domain
Now the ground laughs at me.
CHORUS
And now it's fire season
and I am stifled again.
Orange and black
will always be the colors
Of late October.
VERSE 2
I only know sand and dirt
and water is a long-lost friend.
I must hunt every day
but this sun hunts me.
CHORUS
And now it's fire season
and I am stifled again.
Orange and black
will always be the colors
Of late October.

Choosing to Appreciate
04:00
|

|
VERSE
The air could not be much more perfect
The sun is going down
The window's down and I can feel it
This outlook I have found
CHORUS
Today I choose to appreciate
my life
Because every breath I take
is mine
I'll savor every smell and sound
and sight
Because this could be the last time
VERSE 2
It's not because I just deserve it
Cause I've got things I regret
But just this moment I've awakened
And it's clear who spread the net
CHORUS
Today I choose to appreciate
my life
Because every breath I take
is mine
I'll savor every smell and sound
and sight
Because this could be the last time
BRIDGE
So God enable me to help someone else see
The promises you gave so that we can be
Nothing but what you made us for and be satisfied
And may we all say:
CHORUS
Today I choose to appreciate
my life
Because every breath I take
is mine
I'll savor every smell and sound
and sight
Because this could be the last time
I'm here

Compensating
04:02
|

|
VERSE 1
As the seasons pass
I grow more aware
of my constant fears
and what I'm clinging to.
CHORUS
Sometimes I'm too strong
and it's my weakness.
Sometimes I'm too hard
and it's my soft spot.
VERSE 2
I am growing up
but who can really tell?
God knows I am just
making it up as I go.
CHORUS
Sometimes I'm too strong
and it's my weakness.
Sometimes I'm too hard
and it's my soft spot.
Sometimes I'm too much of a man
and it's the boy in me.
Sometimes I'm too much
and it's the lack in me.
BRIDGE
Oh God, I feel I am useless on my own
I don't have the strength or know quite where to go.
But I'll just do my best to seek the truth til death.
And I admit
CHORUS
Sometimes I'm too strong
and it's my weakness.
Sometimes I'm too hard
and it's my soft spot.
Sometimes I'm too much of a man
and it's the boy in me.
Sometimes I'm too much
and it's the lack in me.

VERSE 1
Inside the courtyard lush and green
You feel like kings and queens
Safe behind glass walls, fences, and screens
Denial can be serene
CHORUS
There's a bear in the halls
Casting shadows on walls
Maybe you'll see when it's too late
There's a bear in the halls
Casting shadows on walls
Can you feel your heartbeat accelerate?
VERSE 2
How did it get here?
Where will you run?
Is there something you could have done?
It's made an entrance
You can't win one on one
Hide and seek has begun
BRIDGE
Now I realize
What's on the other side
Chaos, suffering
Losing everything...everything
ENDING
It's bigger now
It's closer now
It's bigger now
It's closer now
Maybe if I just freeze
Maybe if I don't breathe
Maybe it won't see me
Maybe if I just freeze
But I've heard they smell fear
Maybe if I just freeze
Maybe it won't see me
But I've heard they smell fear
From miles away

Gluttony
06:46
|
|||
|
It started when I was a child
The claw and struggle every day.
When asked what's wrong I only smiled
But wanted to go out and play.
Mom and Dad were not around
My empty stomach made a pull
So I grew up and made a choice
I'd eat and drink til I was full.
Another beer, another coffee
Another burger on the grill.
More sex, more money.
Until I really get my fill.
Another wife, another car
More adoration unto me.
If I get it, I won't let up
A pattern this will always be.
I'll try and try until I die
To match the first time I got high.
There's nothing new under the sun
It's all been done before
The streams flow from beginning to end
yet they keep flowing
What are they hiding from me?
The secrets of old
the legends, the wisdom
I've tried it all
but nothing satisfied
but I will try all the same things again
except more this time.

A Long Time
04:57
|
|||
|
It's been a long time
since I've been in love
with anything
or anyone.
It's been a long time
since I've been in love
with anything
or anyone.
It's been a long time
since I've been in love
with anything
I'm willing to break it
for you.

Out of Here
03:37
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
There is an old door waiting
And it shows my name
10 years, I've been here sitting
Wondering if I'll stay.
Wisdom has spoken to me
She cries out in the street
Good things don't come to those who wait
But to those who get there first.
CHORUS
I’m on the verge of a panic attack
If I stay it'll never go away.
I am running to a new way of life
And the last you're gonna see me is today.
VERSE 2
Hindsight is 20/20
Now I can see so clearly
I was so rarely happy
Surrendered to apathy.
Now that I've lost all feeling
I'm beaten into submission.
It's time to go
It's time to go
It's time to go!
CHORUS 2
I’m on the verge of a panic attack
If I stay it'll never go away.
I am running to a new way of life
And the last you're gonna see me is today.
If I don't get out of here,
everything about me will die.
But if I can disappear,
I can finally become alive.

Photographic
04:51
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
I've never seen these streets so dark
I've never seen these streets so desolate,
wet with rain.
Lights and colors reflecting
it's photographic and nostalgic.
VERSE 2
I dreamt of snow-capped peaks, majestic
I dreamt of snow-capped peaks, incredible
Surrounded by the fires of industry
the artificial overshadowed
I dreamt of snow-capped peaks, majestic
I dreamt of snow-capped peaks, incredible
Surrounded by the smoke of industry
the artificial overshadowed.
CHORUS
When you're on the mountain top
and looking at LA
All my fears and problems now just seem
so far away.
Things from our hands
could never reach up to the sky.
With all our trying we still all
one day will die.
CHORUS
When you're on the mountain top
and looking at LA
All my fears and problems now just seem
so far away.
Things from our hands
could never reach up to the sky.
With all our trying we still all
one day will die.

A Long Way
04:22
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
We were far away
in a separate place
living in the only way
we knew how to
Not knowing that one day
I'd look at your face
and hear you say the words to me
"I do."
CHORUS
Now you're a part of me
You're the one I'll see
Every day
We've come a long way.
VERSE 2
Nothing can replace
how I'm moved by you
giving reason to
conquer the day
A soul could not deny
That you were made for I
And I'll be there until
the day I die.
CHORUS
Now you're a part of me
You're the one I'll see
Every day
We've come a long way.
Now you're a part of me
You're the one I'll see
Every day
We've come a long way.

5000 Dreams
05:32
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
5 thousand dreams have flown away
beneath the curse of yesterday
our own thoughts left to betray
ourselves paralyzed today.
VERSE 2
5 thousand plans left to decay
as we all still in one place stay
a night can never turn to day
without the world's turning ways.
CHORUS
One resolve can break the chain
a single step into the rain
Seasons always have to change
And one day we'll see sun again.
VERSE 3
5 thousand strands to destiny
buried beneath a tendency
in moments we choose not to see
we leave behind our importancy.
CHORUS
One resolve can break the chain
a single step into the rain
Seasons always have to change
And one day we'll see sun again.
