Every puzzle we solve uncovers a mystery. No stone left unturned all throughout history. Satellites and spaceships floating through the outer space. We're no closer now to winning in the human race. How can we know? How can we go on living like this? In the sunlight and the shadows. What's the meaning of all of this? Fast and slow. Ebb and flow. Time rolls on like a river. Without truth, without You. All we have are puzzles and mysteries. (All this) This time goes by. These years they fly. We're chasing lies. In search of right.

Wake Up Call 04:20
Hey now this is our wake up call. Asleep, thought we were standing tall. Life is an illusion when you live it for yourself. Love is the conclusion when you live for someone else. When my heart stops beating all I want to hear You say is well done. Hey now this is your wake up call. Afraid? That you could lose it all? Wake up and let us hear your song. Don't wait until your dream is gone. I don't want to spend my life asleep on the inside. Dead on the inside. Dead on the inside.

Haunting Me 03:22
Haunting me Always at the edge of what I see In the whispers in-between our words Just beneath the surface Haunting me In the wind that blows the trees Oh You bring me to my knees So sweet is Your love Haunting me In the silence there's a symphony All creation sings in harmony To the rhythm of the rain Oh You bring me to, oh You bring me to, oh You bring me to my knees Haunting me In this world You are my everything Although you remain unseen I know You're there

The Inside Out You desire truth inside inside Even when I said I did I lied I tried to wake up something that had died inside I'm sorry for the times I've let You down Even in the silence of my thoughts I've sailed a sea of doubt a thousand times before But I always come home I always come home to You I always come home to You And You're always waiting You're always waiting Waiting for me You want the inside I want the inside out Come make it cleaner You want the inside out You want the inside I want the inside out Come make it cleaner Come make me new again I'm sorry for the words I didn't say The ones that never left my mouth or mind The fire always burns the hand it flees Even if it never burns the trees Even when I'm clean my heart's a mess Even when I can I don't confess Find me on my knees and heal my soul again You want the inside I want the inside out Come make it cleaner You want the inside out You want the inside I want the inside out Come make it cleaner Come make me new again

Every Time 04:46
I'd never met someone like you All of this beauty, how could it be true? I was lost...I'd be lost without you. I watched the light dance in your eyes I felt your smile light up my soul And I'm lost...I'm lost without you Every time you breath Every time you speak With every little touch I love you more than life Every thing you do Every time you move Makes me love you more And want to be with you Every time If my heart's a battleground You have won the war Darling I am yours And I'll always be Every time

Blood Money 04:03
I'm a revolutionary. Not a love missionary. I am not who you think I am. Are we kings or are we servants? Do you think that I deserve this? You are not who I thought you were. For this blood money I'll turn you in For this blood money I'll give you up They call me a traitor. But I never hated you. You just let me down. I made you in my image . But you didn't live up. You are not enough for me. For this blood money I'll turn you in For this blood money I'll give you up We're all the same With a kiss we'd betray For we are the broken souls

Do you remember when we were kids? With our dreams at our fingertips The stars they shone for us The summer sky was alive for us We wondered would life begin Our hopes on the autumn winds In the spring we said goodbye to life alone for good With the sunlight streaming in I love you more now then I did then Do you remember when we were kids? We dreamed of love like this Taking life in our finger tips And holding on tight I'll never take this I'll never take it I'll never take you for granted I'll love you till the day that I die like I said I would I'll never take this I'll never take this I'll never take you for granted I'll always love you till the day that I die like I said I would With the evening drawing in I love you more now then I did then Do you remember when we were kids? We dreamed of love like this Taking life in our finger tips And holding on tight

Prodigal 05:04
I lost my faith and let my feelings fly Never to return again I left with purpose and my pockets full I felt the thrill of it In your eyes I see the pain I've caused But I won't stop myself I need to breathe outside these ancient walls And feel my heart again Don't go my child Don't go my son I left the fields to walk the city streets I was on top of the world Spent all my days in search of brilliant nights Always chasing the daylight I had no faith but I had no fear My future seemed so clear My friends around me like a fortress strong How quickly it disappeared I can't go on. I can't go back I'll take what I can. And have what I take. Oh my eyes cry Prayers set my lungs on fire You bleed my heart dry every day you're gone child I'm coming to my senses. Breathe in, out. Take one step. I'll wrap my arms around you. 3x Because you're home.

Thoughts of echoes Are running through my brain The clock at zero And time comes crashing in But I, don't want to see this anymore And I, don't want to hear this anymore We're ones and zeroes We're locked in this machine We peer through windows But none are open doors And I don't want to live here anymore Oh, I don't want to feel this anymore Every moment is our currency Nothing is cheap and nothing's free I'm a man I am not a machine You take my time you take the life of me Did I live for what I would die for? Or did I die from what I lived for? Did I die before my time? Did I die inside my mind? In our bodies we are biding There our spirits we are hiding We're becoming who we are forever
10.
Your wound is as deep the sea Why won't you come home return to me? I will take you hold you close How I've longed to comfort you Oh My love is all you need Higher than mountains As deep as the sea Oh My love return to me My love is an ocean As deep as the sea
