01. Lost

Lyrics by Ray Alder
I can be anything, except what you had
Why would you want to stay worried and then
Take advantage of all that you said?
Why would you want to stay?
And take that path again?

Lost. Staring above
I can be found
I can be all that you saved

Lost. (Keep all those words you said)
Staring above
Hoping that I can be found
I can be all that you saved
All that you saved then

Lost in the photographs, of what you can fake
Staring at all the things you know that you hate
I know that you're the one, who severed and saved
I can be all the things that want you to make me so

Lost. Staring above
I can be found
I can be all that you saved

Lost. (Keep all those words you said)
Staring above
Hoping that I can be found
I can be all that you saved
All that you saved then

I am lost, a mistake
Within those walls I rest
I am fallen, unkept.
I won't crawl

Lost. (Keep all those words you said)
Staring above
Hoping that I can be found
I can be all that you saved
All that you saved then

02. Crown Of Thorns

Lyrics by Ray Alder
The slow decay begins
Put down the fading pen
No matter how I try stay awake, somehow
The waves upon the shore whisper a fate
And now it ends

The breaking of the silence is opaque, for now
But all the things you said thunder and shake
My will to wonder

How can I find my way through the open distance that is you?

The wind in the air, it sings a song
I know where my heart lived all along
I know it's safe from tempest storms
And no one can take my crown of thorns

When gravity becomes too much to take, hold on
Blood is heavier than water, still
We wait for rain

The wind in the air, it sings a song
I know where my heart lived all along
I know it's safe from tempest storms
And no one can take my crown of thorns

Something always happens inside me
A temporary memory of past
Moments that describe when passion leaves
It's more than I could ask for

The wind in the air, it sings a song
I know where my heart lived all along
I know it's safe from tempest storms
And no one can take my crown of thorns
The wind in the air, it sings a song
Telling me where I belong
Willing to face the ravenous storm
That rages beneath this crown of thorns

06. A Beautiful Lie

Lyrics by Ray Alder
It's a long way down when falling
When dark is the only light
Left to be broken

All that you had deep inside was yearning
And all that you had left was stained
With burning confessions of the past

Skies are blackening
Shadows betray
And silence a beautiful lie
That hides within
They can't forgive
You can't forget so you run

Words were hollow points to nowhere
When no one was listening
You were left there

You know you can't feel what you have forgotten
Let all that you have turn to gray
It's over. You can't undo what's been done

Skies are blackening
Shadows betray
And silence a beautiful lie
That hides within
They can't forgive
You can't forget so you run

Oh, run. So far, so very far
You can't undo what has been done

Skies are blackening
Shadows betray
And silence a beautiful lie
That hides within
They can't forgive
You can't forget so you run
