If you wait for the martyr to fall Who will hold you up straight If you wait for the daydream to call my name You'll be caught in the gray When your pain brings a light in to memory I'll meet you in reverie If you wait for the right words to say You'll be caught in the gray
2.
Disassociate the sickness streaming from your head Sift the wine from the river you’ve been floating in Numb the words that you spoke so loud in black and white To color your blank canvas in the dead of night So stop treading where the light won’t shine My head is under water again and I can’t breathe You’re waiting to save my life Cause if we just make believe that we have nothing to say They will spite the ground that we walked upon in those better days And if we just make believe that divinity is lost Then we will have bit the hand that feeds us So stop treading where the light won’t shine It won’t bear the fruit you’re seeking It’s not a flower poised to bloom It’s not a flower no it never was

Mourning Son 04:43
Would you clear the weight Pressing down so hard on my chest To clear my lungs In hopes to revive a mourning son Would you clear the weight Pressing down To clear my lungs For the mourning son Could you stop the flood gates From crashing in Tonight today So we can mourn another way Could you take back those lines They stung like arrows to my head Clear the weight Pressing down The eclipse of my life Couldn’t block out the light more than you did You stole the song from my throat Muted my voice that sung every note I’ll fight for every breath with open palms Sing the chorus of muted swans For the mourning son

Tread Well 03:18
A never-ending flow Coursing deep inside my bones Stirring down below I feel it deep inside my bones It’s just a never moving consequence of life You get what you give in the end So stand keeping every movement all in mind And I’ll hold your hand I’ll watch your hands forever counting down the days So I’ll bring life to the end So stand just a little closer to the edge And I’ll hold your hand

Hospital Bed 05:16
In the worst way You brought me to my grave A picture frame of my better days In the worst nights You brought me back to life A fate appointed by design Left by the way side You’ll change my mind A red handprint left on my eyes If you wonder what we’ll always be then You’ll be wondering so aimlessly I move too quickly To speak those words unsaid Just to find you still in a hospital bed Cause you gave me a rose meant to wilt I’ll find you the house we tried to rebuild Left to hide You’ll seek and find A red handprint left on my eyes If you wonder what we’ll always be then You’ll be wondering so aimlessly Just keep breathing Just lay still I’ll find you the house we tried to rebuild
6.
Would you take back all the reasons You took your foot from the doorway I’ll never close it like they did no I won’t I promise Cause it’s the way You’re warming the sand below my feet I’ll never leave like they did no I won’t I promise So scream everything that you just can’t control I’ll make up for the feelings eating you whole So point every finger You know who is to blame for the heartache gone unnamed All these feelings gone astray What if we turned our eyes from absent minds What if we kept in trust what we wrote in blood Cause if the summer can change our minds Then I’ll burn the infinite sky We’ll go back to where we’re from Back to those amber nights

Changed in ways you just can’t explain Just don’t forget these family traits Find the key to free you from your cage Bear the keeper of your darkest days Please know we’ll be the same Our bond in blood no one is to blame No one to take your place Know we’ll be the same Please know we’ll be the same Our bond in blood no one is to blame Just don’t forget these family traits Please know we’ll be the same Our bond in blood no one is to blame No one to take your place Know we’ll be the same Just don’t forget these family traits Just don’t forget our bond in blood Family traits Bound in blood Can we go back to those times we held our smiles with pride Back when we lost our selves each day

Orange Honey 03:46
Laying on your bed We’ll talk it out instead You’re tasting like orange honey in my head Fickle feelings grow Begin to break and bow You’re tasting like orange honey in my head Orange honey in my head Please don’t leave your name Just walk the other way Please don’t speak so strange Just walk the other way I can’t rid your sweetness from my hands anymore I guess some things never change I’ll do the wrong thing you’ll taste the same It’s too late I’ve been here before Follow my every move mark down on the floor Orange honey in my head
