Hope
03:16

And in the absence of light
There's not a word to speak
Trade uncertainty for might
Though the present is bleak
Calling out...
What do we have if not hope?
If not hope?
Then nothing at all.
Between the crashing bells
I heard it all stand still
No longer empty shells
But full of courage and will.
The fire slowly grew
Within the depth of you,
And then the light took hold
And you became like new
Calling out
What do we have, if not hope?

Impermanence
03:38
|

Sometimes
People hold a place in your life
That you call
Forever
And sometimes,
You look inside of their eyes,
And you call it
Forever
And your heart knows it's true and your soul says to you:
"This is Forever"
But time keeps passing by and you start to wonder why you ever said
Forever
People Come and Go

Persistence
04:14

In your thoughts, in your head:
Do you see things differently?
Do you want to be somewhere else?
Away from where you said you'd be?
'Cause I'm afraid, then I cry, and it makes me wanna die
But there are things that I can't change, so I have to stay alive
Oh no...
In your heart, do you feel:
Persistent beats for someone else?
And in your dreams, do your feet:
Move to the rhythm of their spell?
Cause when I tell the world goodnight,
I close my eyes and I think of you,
Oh sometimes it keeps me up...am I the one you're seeing too?

Unconditional
02:46
|

I will try to be the person that you see when you close your eyes.
Wrap my heart in shades of gold:
A love that's bold with no compromise.
When my life is out of tune, look over my shoulder and I see you.
When my life is out of tune, look over my shoulder and I see you.

Identity
06:18
|

|
When I look in the mirror, I dunno what I see
Can't follow the lines that make my face--the lines that make up me.
My person a shadow--cloaked within the dark
nothing so black and white
nothing quite so stark
Who am I and who are you?
I don't think we'll ever know the truth
Who are you, who is me?
Nothing's ever clear to see.
Approach the world face to face then get put right in your place.
Who am I and who are you?
And what are we supposed to do, I don't know.
Cohesive identity: Correct function in society
Understood identity: A Unified Mentality
Though I'm not clear that it exists--tear it down with shaking fists
I'm so tired of identity, just need to learn how to be.

Mortality
02:52
|
|||
|
How does it feel to know that you will die alone?
No matter what you do or say?
Does it fill your heart with fear, does it fill your eyes with tears?
Knowing that you're going to fade away.
Holding Strong.
Cause the time we have in this life isn't long.
No time to fret away the days on right or wrong.
So hold on the strength you realize
Moving forward no compromise,
And I'll see you at the end of the song.
