Cracks 03:29
This time around, I’m backed against the wall, my friend, Unable to Bring myself to confidence. I don’t want anything at all, I can’t believe that that’s your call. That’s your call. I see the cracks as they’re reaching towards the sky. Our tower falls and it crumbles to the ground. This bullshit stops and it’s piling back on me. I see the cracks as they’re reaching towards the sky. Our tower falls and it crumbles to the ground. These storm clouds form and they’re pouring down on me. Oh on me. A final call, This wasteland is our providence. Your show is small, I can’t quite bear the sight of it. You pulled out daggers from the deep Our time here deserved sympathy. Sympathy. I see the cracks as they’re reaching towards the sky. Our tower falls and it crumbles to the ground. This bullshit stops and it’s piling back on me. I see the cracks as they’re reaching towards the sky. Our tower falls and it crumbles to the ground. These storm clouds form and they’re pouring down on me. Oh on me. [Bridge] I see the cracks as they’re reaching towards the sky. Our tower falls and it crumbles to the ground. This bullshit stops and it’s piling back on me. I see the cracks as they’re reaching towards the sky. Our tower falls and it crumbles to the ground. These storm clouds form and they’re pouring down on me. Oh on me.

Treason 05:06
The drive, in short, is one for reason, Not to cross or draw the line. When three is one and less is treason, We cross our wings and then take flight. Cryptic woes and cold cut phrases Trip the dormant fields of lies. When innocence has all but faded, The king on top’s in fast decline. So I try to lift the guise in place, But know I can’t be any stronger Than all the love already raised The kind of love I hope to follow. Don’t despise. Just walk away. These are men all afraid of the truth They’re the ones who must choose. There’s no need for Compensation When all is gone that floats inside. I don’t mean for conversation When all my faith in works has died. When tempered woes change the paces And the lost boys run to hide, The three and ones go trade their spaces And leave the rest of us true lies. So I try to lift the guise in place, But know I can’t be any stronger Than all the love already raised The kind of love I hope to follow. Don’t despise. Just walk away. These are men all afraid of the truth They’re the ones who must choose. [Bridge] So I try to lift the guise in place, But know I can’t be any stronger Than all the love already raised The kind of love I hope to follow. Don’t despise. Just walk away. These are men all afraid of the truth They’re the ones who must choose.

Tender 03:51
So many times I've Fled from my own life And I don't want to let this boat Take me down. 'Cause I don't need to Satisfy views That terrify me and Core me out I don't wanna Be the man who Never breaks apart And leaves the ground. To die or struggle, Lie and tumble, This crash and burn Will take me to the ground. I never moved to love this light. No bubble seemed to burst inside. Sleek ribbon ties me to the floor. I'm tender for more. Look at your history, the one that you mistreat. It's no wonder that you Come up shy. Through faint sips of sorrow And loans from tomorrow These fresh stabs at victory will just Leave you dry. 'Cause I don't wanna Be the bad guy The one who tells you "You're not worth a thing." You've got me listening So don't be discrete 'Cause I don't wanna see you Hit the ground. I never moved to love this light. No bubble seemed to burst inside. Sleek ribbon ties me to the floor. I'm tender for more. I don't want to I just try to Be the one that I never was. I might try to bring you back down. It's always on.

Found 06:09
Tell me, tell me, tell me How to lose it and I’ll I will take the time to Become so much more Than I had known. Bring me, bring me back down To where I once was And I will show you a mind Bound and lost in mirrors So sublime. Drinking down a message I now call my tongue I know all things sound the same To those who walk without a song. Taking down a line Hung hollow on your wall I know whom to follow Long ways to the ground. Take me away to a place that I can call my own. I want to go right now. You bring me back to time spent Underneath it all. I want to go right now. Take me on. Shake me, shake me, shake me ‘Til you move me, ‘cause I’ve, I have finally found a note to play my song And carry on. Tapping out the back beat Drawn out on my thumb, So far, too long we've been Driving on and on. Take me away to a place that I can call my own. I want to go right now. You bring me back to time spent Underneath it all. I want to go right now. Take me on. [Bridge] Please don’t go, I might understand. I will take you on With my open hand Sorry please don’t go, I might understand. I will take you… On. I will seek you out With my emptiness, And I will drink you down With my loneliness. And I will take you on With my innocence Because I may… I may be that love. Take me away to a place that I can call my own. I want to go right now. You bring me back to time spent Underneath it all. I want to go right now. Take me on.
