"In A Place Of Solace"
 
A casket, opened up
A family, can't reach in

I may not have been
What you wanted me to have been, for your first born
Do they mourn my life or celebrate my death
Do they celebrate my death

This casket, close it up
This casket, close it up

No one speaks, no one says a word, no one here stands
This is honesty through passivity, looking away
This is ignorance through abstinence, you stay away

It ends with ashes, to destroy the evidence, and block the memory
Close it up, break it out, and remain in a place of solace

"In Silent Seas We Drown"
 
I'm running just like the wind, a moving current
Feel it pushing faster, it's pushing faster
I'm hiding you like a sin, a lonely liar
See you taking after, you're taking after

We have come so far against these odds
Been on my back for way too long
But now I realize it's not my problem
There's countless ways I won't try to solve them

I'm caving in like a mine, I'm under pressure
Feel it taking over, it's taking over
I'm living life like a lie, I'm losing judgment
Shoulders growing colder, I'm growing colder

I have broken down so many walls
I never thought I'd have to climb them now
It used to be so fun, I used to dream in light
But now I work in dark I feel so worn and trite

I'm telling all my friends I love the highs and lows
But the truth is that I'd rather stay home alone
I'm making sure there's a path to make it harder for me
And make it harder to quit, make it impossible.

You won't believe what I'm capable of
Buried bodies, this labor of my love.

I silenced everyone
I silenced everyone
I silenced all my critics
Silenced them all except myself
I silenced everyone
Silence them all except myself

I silenced everyone
Silenced them all except myself
I silenced everyone
Silence them all by myself, myself

Because I've come this far, I won't back down
I struck a chord, inside myself and found
that there's no one else who can solve my problems
I can't admit to you that I regret them.

And when I'm heading home, I wonder where to go
'cause I'm honestly afraid I might die alone
I'm making sure there's a path to make it harder for me

You won't believe what I'm capable of.

"California"
 
Feel it, the calm after the storm.
As still as I can be.
I'm finally all alone
until I fall asleep.

Did I escape or am I captured?
Trapped in a cage of rear view mirror eyes.
Triangles that look like faces.

This is what I get
for my revenge.
A hidden microphone,
an amber alert implanted
under my skin.
It's just in my head but
it takes me over.
It makes me forget why I'm on my way.
These four years feel like a hundred.

West-bound,
driving all alone to make sure that you know.
I've been running scared without you.
I drove all night to tell you.
In dreams I've seen your face with
another in my place.
I know it was another life but I never could forget you.
I never could forget you.

We set it up (we set it up)
like a house of cards in a hurricane.
We didn't think it would ever make sense.

He set us up (he set us up),
he knew just where to plant it.

It knocked me over,
it made me forget how I fell in love.
How much I really cared.

West-bound,
driving all alone to make sure that you know.
I've been running scared without you.
I drove all night to tell you.
In dreams I've seen your face with
another in my place.
I know it was another life but I never could forget you.
I never could forget you.

You'll see me there like a familiar stranger standing on the street.
I'll say a prayer, I'll introduce myself like it's the first time we'd ever meet.
In California, I'd learn that sometimes you have to run away.
In California, I'd find myself again.

West-bound,
driving all alone to make sure that you know.
I've been running scared without you.
I drove all night to tell you.
In dreams I've seen your face with
another in my place.
I know it was another life but I never could forget you.

"The Wind Shifts"
 
The wind shifts by itself
Reminding us where we've been
We kick and scream and raise hell
Til we're too tired to stand
We tear down all our sense
And we'll force our opinion
We'll make sure we're ahead
We'll hate ourselves in the end

I wanted to be loved by someone
I didn't want to be so scared

This wind changed me
(I used to care)
This wind changed me

"To Live And To Lose"
 
Followed painted lines along the way back to see you
Fighting sleep and drifting in the rain, I couldn't get through
I was thrown from my mind with no one there to catch me, to lead me back to life
Had to leave it behind and send my other on her way

Will you break when you realize I'm gone
Counting days until the season you move on
I'm having doubts if you can still feel me at all
Out here looking on while you're falling in love

I was thrown from my mind and you're not here to catch me to make it all feel right
I've been trying to find a way to get back to you and say I'm sorry

When I found a way to calm down, a disguise of yourself without me
Your heart was so strong, I thought you moved on
But you can't carry on without me

I was thrown from my mind and now I'm here to beg you
To move on with your life
You can leave me behind
I am the voice in your head that tells you it's alright

I was thrown from my mind with no one there to catch me
To lead me back to life
Had to leave it behind and I have to accept it
The way it all has to be, has to be, has to be now
The way it all has to be, has to be, has to be
The way it all has to be

"With Second Chances"
 
I tried to throw it away,
I tried to burn it like a photograph
But when I close my eyes, I see it in my mind
Like it's happening

I got so good at the game,
No one could tell that I was faking sane (faking sane)
I guess I still survived, but this grudge was mine
I couldn't bear to watch it shine

Did it clear your conscience?
Did it clear your mind?
If you don't feel what you cheated, lied and steal
Is that still dishonesty?

(For every positive, there is a negative)

I used up my honesty
I'll tell you honestly
I could only give you so much
And from what you said to me
Now you're dead to me,
You're dead to me

I'm sleeping miles away,
I'm hiding out in this shrine I made
And if it keeps me safe
Well I'd fall from grace
Then I'll take this space

My skinny fingers are bare
I'm taking everything off my back (off my back)
If our skins the sin I'm desiring
This is where we'll both begin

Did it clear your conscience?
Did it clear your mind?
If you still feel what you cheated, lied and steal
Is that still integrity?

I used up my honesty
I'll tell you honestly
I could only give you so much
And from what you said to me
Now you're dead to me
'Cause you've used me as your crutch

Is everywhere that I've seen
Everywhere that I've been?
I can't help it, it's become a part of me
I used up my honesty
Now you're dead to me
You're dead to me

"Departures"
 
I'm dying here before your eyes inside of darken circles
I'm afraid of savage things I fought to keep away
Before I found out just what I found that I knew you'd become
Now you know the things I'm running from...

You could help me hide in the places I once lived and lost the one
Now you know the things I'm running from...
Now you know the things I'm running from...

You're killing me kid, but I know your intentions are good
I read what you wrote out, asked me to slow down, I should
I think you're trying to make it seem like it never could've meant enough
But what I'm hearing you say is that you're running away 'cause it meant too much

So this isn't easy, I know the weather in Melbourne is best
San Francisco got cold as I read your note walking Van Ness to Oak
You said I guess I'll be home soon but things will be different I'm sure
So I thought that you should know if things are gonna change when you come home
Maybe this time don't
