You’re my masterpiece
You’re my everything
If I caused you pain
You’re my masterpiece
Now I can fly
Now that I’ve fulfilled my time
Now you can breathe
Now that I’ve seen what you’ve seen
Now we can live
On the house on the hill
Now we can find
Our way out of time
Read between the lines (You’re the family)
And you’ll see the light shine (Of my heart sings)
And I’ll take your hand (You’re the person I know)
And follow you (To see my friends and me)
Read between the lines (You’re the family)
And you’ll see inside my mind (Who I know that’s awesome for me)
And I’ll take your hand (My friends and you)
And follow you (To sing my heart to)

Precious times
Call for precious faith
I walk the line
Between love and hate
When I see you smile
With all of your pain
In the end
I am to blame
If I left you broken
If I left you in tears
If I left you thinking
I come in peace
If I left you broken
If I left you on your knees
If I left you thinking
I come in peace
Precious wings
Call for precious bones
I walk the line
Between heart and stone
From this empty shell
There’s a place
For me

Love vs. Time
04:19
|

|
There’s a race
Between love and time
Baby, come on now
Stay by the fire
There’s a flood
Coming down
For us
See the edge
Do not fear
Jump across
We’ll get there

Vultures

Vultures
They hover above
Waiting
For the time to come
When the story
Is about to end
And the hurting
It’s all that’s left
I’ve been hurting too
You don’t know how it feels
Till you feel it too
When I was down
I looked to you
All I found was a vulture in you
Fly down
I’m waiting for you
Sit down
I’ve a lesson for you
What’s there to win
When all is lost?
What’s there to prove
When everything’s false?

Are You Consistent?

Time is my witness
Tear it down
Pull it down
Right here
Right here
Don’t waste your time
Saying you’re kind
When you want your angel wings
For free (There’s no way out)
I’ve been waiting
In my house
For someone to walk in
The same way they walk out
Don’t waste your time
Telling me the lines
When you do the same things
You complain about
It’s a certain kind of pain
Living in this state
With unlocked doors
Still you don’t feel safe
Please tell me
To believe
You won’t let me down
As my idols flee
Don’t waste your time
Telling me the lines
When those are words
You don’t live by
We used to sit
In the quiet rain
Tear it down
Pull it down
Looking in
Is the only way out

Neon Lights

In the morning light
In heaven’s rise
Let love decide
Neon lights
Electrify
Dirty hearts
Dirty minds
Come around
Put your arms around
Your love
So, it’s time
To set aside
Dark thoughts
Your shadow life
Let love, let love decide

Want
02:11
|
|||
|
I’ve been traveling in my own mind
I’ve been traveling in my own time
Because I find myself in envy of you
Because I can’t stop thinking of you
Why you do have what I want when I want it so much?
Why don’t I have what I want when I want it so much?
Why do I lose everything every time?

Puzzle Pieces

Everywhere I go
Everyone I meet
There’s a missing
Puzzle piece
Many have come
A few have gone far
One break in the chain
The rings all fall
Tell us how to find
The place we realize
Is our proper home
Is our future home
Everywhere I go
Everyone I meet
There’s a missing
Puzzle piece
Seems like in love and war
There’ll never be peace
Maybe it’s not that easy

In this hotel
In this empty room
I search myself
To find a part of you
Maybe I’m too blind to see
I need your light
On this raging sea
Lighthouse by the old gray sea
Bring me home
From this empty dream
Lighthouse by the old gray sea
Bring me home
From this losing streak

Killing Hope
04:16
|
|||
|
What am I supposed to do
When I’m all over you?
What am I supposed to say
When you stay
To take my breath away
You’re killing hope
You’re killing me
When you pull
When you plead
I’m getting tired
Of believing
That you’ll stay
To take my breath away
I’ve worked so hard
Just to stand back up
As you push
Again, I’m on my knees
