The Stronghold
It's just the way it moves in me,
The way it bring me peace
And if it's gone it's all they'll see
That I failed to stand when...
It's just the way that it's been,
Reduced to paraffin and ashes as I burn.
I've been through the trials, through flame and flood
Darlin' through it all, love still holds strong.
And now I question me - is this all I'll ever be?
It's like I'm built for something more
If I could only see it through.
It's just the way that it's been,
Reduced to paraffin and ashes as I burn
I've been through the trials, through flame and flood
Darlin' through it all, love still holds strong.
I wanted to be right by your side
I'm frozen as this takes its toll
Bending, not breaking
We'll own this and we won't let go.

Give and Take

Give and Take
Feign the life you want,
while all is damaged and given up.
Cast the seed far from its tree,
Losing sight of all hope.
So far from the promises made,
when the cord begins to fray
And you walked away.
I know it's done - and I'm the fool again
The words we speak are not enough.
Left to bleed in the ocean,
And now we're finding what it means to live the lines,
To give and take is to forgive.
Write it down, play it out.
'Cause no one knows if it's true
And no one cares, but I do.
All that's seen, and all that's heard
Dancing in and out of focus,
Right out the back of my mind.
I know it's done - and I'm the fool again
The words we speak are not enough.
Left to bleed in the ocean,
And now we're finding what it means to live the lines,
To give and take is to forgive.

Panacea
Dressed down to black and white,
There's a light that beckons us toward the room.
And I wouldn't trade it for whatever they're selling us now.
'Cause it's turning into something so much deeper,
When what we've gained is bleeding into our minds, our lives.
Until my last breath I will fight where others fade,
And what I've squandered in the fall, may it make me stronger still.
I know they'll never see,
It's set, I'm getting out while I can.
I'd rather burn it all that let this light burn out.
Until my last breath I will fight where others fade,
And what I've squandered in the fall, may it make me stronger still.
Just run until your lungs burn like the sun,
And with all that's left,
We'll find a place and find our names.

A Thousand Days
Wasting time away, with cauterized visions again.
I'd breathe new life again if I...
If I could just breach the surface.
A thousand smiles can't deny the disconnect
From this potential.
Your words bring truth but I find that I'm just too far to hear them.
Sure, this haze could never disrupt the steel from which I'm forged.
Still, I need you more than ever and I can't find the words.
Your heart breaks with every beat,
Just know through all that still I'm holding on.
Am I free yet? Or am I holding back denial?
I'm still young but it's bleeding dry my life.
Your words bring truth but I find that I'm just too far to hear them.
Sure, this haze could never disrupt the steel from which I'm forged.
Still, I need you more than ever and I can't find the words.
Your heart breaks with every beat,
Just know through all that still I'm holding on.
Here life is not fading,
A man needs one chance to redeem.
I know I'll carry on with thoughts of home,
It all passes in the blink of an eye,
And I'll soon be home.
