And I'll admit I've had my doubts Cause they're never saying a thing that gets to me Only longing to feel anything But they're never saying a thing This fire sleeps But you never walked away Far too blind to see it, I'll find my own way You never walked away I've let their false ambitions lead me astray But you never left me, did you? If only I could see As these waves hold me, I remember everything And I still remember your presence long ago And I swore I'd find you someday, but I took the longest road Well I took the longest road to find you waiting all the same With waves of grace like oceans and redemption in your name And now this void is filled within I've got to say something to make them feel This passion inside, stronger than anything With these flames ignited, lets make this real You never walked away This current pulls me under with a smile across my face You never walked away This undertow it grips me and it seems I've found my place You never left me, my home is with you You'll never leave me here Well I took the longest road to find you waiting all the same With waves of grace like oceans and redemption in your name

We'll burn this all to the ground and leave nothing behind We'll burn this all to the ground and leave nothing behind My past doesn't own me Your words, they don't own me Your thoughts, they don't own me So light the match And we could take this skyline and turn it all to flames Erasing all transgressions, erasing every pain Baptize this world in fire and we'll just start over again I would love to watch it all reign down from the sky (And I'd like... to watch... it rain down... from the sky...) Feel your power all around me echoing eternity "And it's all my fault, and it's all a charade And it's all my fault, anyway..." They slaughtered trust with a thirsty knife We're broken down bring us back to life "And everything will stay the same Kind of like, nothing will change It's all been done, it's all been seen..." With the exception of what could be Give us a new beginning Consume us with your vision

So, let's get one thing understood, it's not our pride, it's not our blood Hypocrisy lives in our hearts, but "it's alright, it's all good" Something about this turns me off Something about this turns me off We'd be lifeless vessels, drifting away, if all of this wasn't held in place We're all saints within these walls, but animals on the outside We'll rise together above the fall of man We'll rise together above this tyranny I don't need this We'd be lifeless vessels, drifting away, if all of this wasn't held in place We're all saints within these walls, but animals on the outside We'll rise together above the fall of man We'll rise together above this tyranny We'll rise together above this tyranny "You say it's over, but I don't feel the son" So, just hold on one more day

Frozen death grips surrounding me Beating me black and blue, so abused Used like a tool in your ways It seems I'm drowning again in your wake I fell with you to the bottom, slowly sinking They tell me everything happens for a reason You left me here in this darkness What was I thinking? I can't help but to feel like this is a treason This is a treason, this is a treason And all I can say, I wish I never came Take all the times that I tried to live for you and just throw them away I'll set my sights to north and simply walk away You say you'll show me the life and the love of this world But I'll never be closer to love than through its death And the death of you, and the death of you And all I can say, I wish I never came Take all the times that I tried to live for you and just throw them away So broken down inside, restore me once again We'll raise a mighty army delivered by your hand Believing in the things unseen Sharpen us like knives and watch the darkness flee We are the chosen ones, we are the children of the light And we'll cut like knives, we are We're the children of light, and we'll pierce this darkness

I could never live my life the way that they planned for me And I awake to find your words, so gracefully Condescending, screaming at me This constant buzzing passing through Rings more like deceit and less like truth Signals spark from crossed wires Transmission lost, over and out Aboard this wayward vessel, the mutiny sets in Your silence speaks more than words could ever portray With command overridden We'll reclaim the seas A messenger to the broken "Here I am, send me" And I awake to find your words, so gracefully Condescending, screaming at me This constant buzzing passing through Rings more like deceit and less like truth And I awake to find your words, so gracefully Condescending, screaming at me I could never live my life the way that they planned for me
7.
Staring at my reflection, my thoughts become transparent This feeling of emptiness, I cannot deny I am asking for a sign, something to believe in Can you show me what is real, can you show me what is truth Because faith is sometimes not enough I'm the doubter, I am the doubter So shamefully I beg of you Take what's left of me and do what you will Staring up to the sky, my thoughts become so obvious This feeling raging inside, I can no longer deny I have given up on this world There's nothing left here that can fill this void I feel, that I feel within Because faith is sometimes not enough I'm the doubter, I am the doubter So shamefully I beg of you Take whats left of me and do what you will There's nothing left here that can fill this void that I feel within

This is what you would tell anybody That there must always be somebody else to blame for the pain, never feeling the shame I'd like to thank you for the best times I'd like to thank you for the worst times Why can't you feel like me Why can't you see just what I see I know that you would like to think all of your angles are ninety degrees Be assured this will bring you to your knees This will continue until you choose to let this go Can't you find forgiveness somewhere in your heart Carrying bitterness forever, this will break you apart Bending and breaking, sifting and shaking This has become a fault line around you now Before the earth swallows you whole, the strongest of grips can be broken

And all along this path I've chosen, a steady unconsciousness We're just selfish, restless souls wrestling our own selflessness Breathing, existing but we're oh so dead inside We're leaving our fate as open as these vacant skies And if this dark horizon fails to produce another sunrise What happens when there's no one left to hear our cries And all along this path I've chosen, a steady unconsciousness We're just selfish, restless souls wrestling our own selflessness Breathing, existing but we're oh so dead inside We're leaving our fate as open as these vacant skies Oh, but what if there was another way out of this There must be a way, I know there's a way Come rescue me And when our eyes do meet, will you still love me then And when our hearts do meet, will they make amends

She sings to me in verses spoken in wicked tongues Her words are death whispered softly in my ear Her chorus, a kiss, like poison upon my lips From the watery depths below she calls to me... "To hear is to obey" Sinking slowly now
11.
Sinking slowly, sinking slowly now I know Oh, this must be a dream Arms outstretched grasp for me over a distance, but can I reach Across these vast and endless seas we still survived through everything Why aren't we speechless of this grace that sustains us Where does the ocean meet the sky? I want to know Oh, this must be a dream Arms outstretched grasp for me over a distance, but can I reach? Across these vast and endless seas we still survived through everything Why aren't we speechless of this grace that sustains us Oh great God, give us rest and lead us in Oh great God, give us rest and lead us in Oh God, give us peace We surrender everything And this is where the ocean meets the sky We're going home
