“I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth. For you say, ‘I am rich, I have prospered, I need nothing.’ You do not realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. Therefore, I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich; and white robes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen; and solve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. I reprove and discipline those whom I love. Be earnest, therefore, and repent. Listen! I am standing at the door and knock.”
2.	Collide 09:43	lyrics	buy track
The world is yours, the world is mine Inside ourselves, you will define Avoid our dreams, and suffer blind When everyone, can see the lines Until, I come to give you life Sing the light of our hearts (2x) In dreams of love, in dreams of hate Escape the one, who will betray When darkness falls, I’ll be here still Inside ourselves, to break from the ill Until, I come to break your fall Sing the light of our hearts (2x) When everything, seems burned and blind The joke’s on you, your satellite SMASH And everything collides (3x) When this heart, stops to breathe Inside the light, we must receive Break the dawn, feel the breeze Empty souls, and nothing breeds When I love the hole in me I don’t care what you don’t need And space and time cannot be free So crack the stone and let it bleed Down this hollow Break this bond so I can become free again And everything collides When I am lost, and you are found The ground will break, within this shroud The sound of birds, taking flight Won’t show the words, you tried to hide
3.	Broken 08:53	lyrics	buy track
Mother, can you see me? Father, can you hear me? I'm not the one you see I've found something else to believe And I am not alone I've sown the seeds & how they've grown I have begun, & I’ll stay until we’ve won I cannot hide The way you’ve known me The fall is all I need This hole inside of me Is the greatest victory I’ll pray & foresee Release my fears Inside this cage, keep me Below the spoken sea Until I find the line, Dividing Dividing you Dividing you & me And when my memory strips away And when dust settles to the ground I fall on my knees & pray And feel the hole that you've made inside of me And I am not alone I've sown the seeds and how they've grown I have begun, and I’ll stay until we’ve won I waited so long To find my way Yet when I’m strong I’m still afraid The discord convinces me Of sensations of apathy The ghost I’ve never seen Console my tendencies Another void, another name Someone else speaks, except the same I've seen the light, I've felt you weep I've held you close, I've felt you breathe It never really ends, it only just begins And I am not the same, I am just a man Everything I own, everything I am Until I find the line, dividing you & me Stray away from me See the setting sun Open up the door Breathe me into one And fight the conscience in my mind Awake and yet I’m still so blind Can I believe just what I see? Nothing matters anymore to me

The night falls and I’m on my way Back inside the trees And the deafening of the breeze And the fear I can’t relieve It’s all I need, but still I can’t breathe And the light I hold it shines But still I feel I’m blind I feel myself become numb And the deafening of the breeze And the fear I can’t relieve It’s all I need, but still I can’t breathe
6.	Array 07:20	lyrics	buy track
Let go When I think that I’m in control We walk by Counting sheep as they’re standing in the line De-con-structing De-con-struct this machine Taking down the array Let our ashes fly in your wake In this show We watch on screen as the dam lets go Flee the fire Step aside or sit there in denial De-con- structing De-con- struct this machine Taking down the array Let our ashes fly in your wake Taking down the array Let our ashes fly in your wake Taking down the array Let our ashes fly in your wake Taking down the array
7.	Atoms 06:40	lyrics	buy track
These walls fall, my legion breaks the line And all the words, tremble from the fear Cower and quake, as I black out the sun And so I have come, we burn as one Wither from sound Arise a second sumer With your bitter song Beautiful empty The flames that devour the ground, on your bending knee Before you stands the one, the one you cast down Suffer, blind, and deaf your world crashes down And so I have come, we burn as one And when you brought me to this place And laid me down Why can’t I wake up? I’m strung up in this shroud And should the awoken undo space and chains come down Still can I wake up? It’s all I am, all I want, all I see, all I feel And when you brought me to this place And laid me down And I can’t still wake up And the chains come down Still can I wake up? There comes a time when All things Wither and die It takes the soul and It rends Away from this place Away from this place Away from straight lines I grab up all the atoms And make them all mine Yeah (4x) And when you brought me to this place And laid me down I’m strung up in this shroud And should the awoken undo space and chains come down Still can I wake up? And so I have come, we burn as one Wither from the sound Arise a second sumer With your bitter song And the flames that devour the ground On a bending knee Before you, is the one, you cast down
8.	Pavement 07:40	lyrics	buy track
I watch the lights go out But I still breathe I pray the sun burns out And I get weak Then I see you there On the ledge with windblown hair Now I can’t breathe Embers swirl away And my eyes blur with the pain But I still see I looked up to you But now you look right down through me Daylight fades to grey As the ground relieves the pain Revelation comes to light As your wounded pavement cries Oh, were I to put your fire out (2x) Oh This comes as no dark revelation I see you drown in your disease Don’t wake up from your dreaming I see your face It serves no longer I bring with me no condemnation Your demons force you to your knees Don’t - Wake - Up - From your dreaming
9.	Shadows 06:47	lyrics	buy track
A flash, as the sky cracks The light rips asunder the black Teeth gnashed And gods wept As a new sun Rose in the west Strike life’s blood from the air While a tired, dying world stands and stares Now only shadows remain (2x) Crawl As the ground turns to glass Some hold Shadowed walls as they gasp Fight for life or fall on your blade Vision blinds, and consciousness fades Now only shadows remain (2x) Taking their light, what gives you the right Taking the light, what gives you the right Taking their light, what gives you the right Shadows will remain (5x) In the sky, a flash paints their ire Keeps me from life, an arrogant desire With their prisons of lies, judging me Now death, fire, and hell Taking their light, what gives you the right Taking the light, what gives you the right Taking their light, what gives you the right Shadows will remain (3x) Fall, burning and dazed As the fire courses inside of our veins The shadows embossed on their graves So now only silence remains Only silence remains Taking their light, what gives you the right Taking the light, what gives you the right Taking their light, what gives you the right
10.	Eye 11:17	lyrics	buy track
If I believe it, see you walking through the door Can I hold you once more They don't believe me and I don't care I need you here, it's all too much And I'm alive I will survive this feeling for you and I Inside my eyes Inside my eyes In my eyes I've seen the places, faces, things you could have seen I've come to be a human being But it's all illusion, smoke and screen Could this be real or just a dream? Ah And I'm alive I will survive this feeling for you and I Inside my eyes Inside my eyes In my eyes Why Has this happened You left, I’m here I want to disappear Can’t let go, lost control I feel you, I see you, I hear you I need you Red runs Toxin sweeps I am not a dream I am in the sky Your guardian You woke me up Now let me sleep You filled the void I open me up And set me free I release Quiet now Lasting peace I am not gone I live through you (Spoken) I have felt it, where you went and where you've been I've hungered, longed, ached, and wanted I always realized, but I couldn't know, or maybe more hopeful But I'm here, and I've found you here I hoped to run, but my legs are cold (Sing) Cold and still, calling me to the horizon of night I’ll follow your light, escape regret (Whisper) The night is too calm I've felt this fear before And felt this close As I lay you down, and this heart cracks Hollow, dark, alone Frozen touch to skin I breathe And I watched you, I watched you bleed Until I had nothing left to feel And I held on, while I fell weak I saw your face look so serene If it's all true, what you see Can I still trust you to follow me? Now I watch you, you weep for me Until I have nothing left to feel But I live on, while I found peace Haunting of my last release Awake I am here Watch me Awake I am here Watching All my eyes see is pain and black I force them shut, yet it all still comes back I breathe (2x)
