1.	Facing Worlds 06:13	lyrics	buy track
FACING WORLDS A core built of lies and a ground I surmised Was the world I found inside you I was convinced that you lifted the sun, that you hung the moon That you were the axis and I revolved around you When I looked to your skies I became trapped inside That bright blue cage held me so many nights Reality washed over me, and I drowned in its arms It killed for me the fantasy I made for myself I watched as fiction crumbled to history It killed for me the fantasy I made for myself Lost and drifting through these skies The horizon met with the rising tides When I reached the edge and I was thrown right off the sides I kept waiting For this place to become my home I kept fading inside its hold This external world is built by internal dreams Now I know Reality washed over me, and I drowned in its arms It killed for me the fantasy I made for myself I watched as fiction crumbled to history I let myself drown in the arms of reality I watched as fiction crumbled to history
2.	Traced In The Sunrise 05:29	lyrics	buy track
TRACED IN THE SUNRISE The morning light etched your face so I could see that you were turned away from me The trees outside, stood so still in the tranquil breeze But the sun still shined bright through the leaves You missed it rise, the moment passed you in your sleep I hope you saw it in your dreams And the sunrise marred the blue sky with streaks and ribbons of color I realized without those flaws it would not have been quite as beautiful Beautiful to me And I wish you could have seen the beauty Because I know you won't believe Not one more day Can I bear to hear you say That you curse every breath you take Not one more time Can I see you die inside Just wait for the sunrise To fall upon your open eyes I realized the second I knew that you were perfect I pin-pointed the instant I knew that you were perfect When I saw the silhouette of your aura Against the ambience of nature In a sky so perfect to me A heaven in you that you can't see Not one more day Can I bear to hear you say That you curse every breath you take Not one more time Can I see you die inside Just wait for the sunrise To fall upon your open eyes

4.	Glass Skin 05:36	lyrics	buy track
GLASS SKIN We take the sand out of our clocks Heat it with the fire that burns inside us And we forge the glass to encase ourselves That chokes the flames that helped it to be Now place a blade against your shell And etch some pretty pictures that show and tell The person that you think you are Draw anything to keep them from seeing through But as you stare at your glass skin The ornate carvings on it do not hide your reflection We all know just who we are We’re just afraid to face it, afraid of changing We can see everything inside ourselves Let this skin be a cocoon To shed and help us grow into what we are We’ll find these bones just need some time In a fire of honesty they will refine And now you stare at your bare bones All you need to know is this frame is yours to mold We all know just who we are We’re just afraid to face it, afraid of changing We can see everything inside ourselves It’s time to break the projections that we created We have to break them It’s time to live without this casing No more false faces
5.	Cycles Are Links In A Chain 07:02	lyrics	buy track
CYCLES ARE LINKS IN A CHAIN We all crawl in one big circle With color-coated hands We paint our paths In our process of slowly inching forward We encounter the open hands of strangers Their shadows eclipse the lines that we make They’ve come to add Shades we don't have The shape that I make fades into a face that I've seen A cycle starts inside this heart and drains out in front of me It’s connecting, affecting to create A weakened spot for these walls to break A light to animate this room Like attaching faces in a waning moon Now I sit in this familiar form Surrounded by what I should have known The most important thing Is what I let inside this shape Time is running out to fill the empty space The hands on the clock will not reach for me The size of this life is measured by The spectrum of colors within these lines And those lines won't lead to an ending They'll continue long after our vessels empty Our hands will connect and mold us together We'll paint a line that continues forever Cycles are links in a chain Binding all our pain And helping us find a way Carve a circle on my grave Erase my only shades of gray A canvas you helped me create A cycle that does not end with me A circle begins in the heart of this one. The heart of this one A circle completes through the eyes of the ones we'll stare into forever
