Poisoning Vines

This is the best way to find yourself empty
Another day to measure you up
Reaching for the next comfort cause it's all you've ever longed for
And the meaning that you hoped for only leaves you reaching for more
And more is all you need to believe
Like poisoning vines, you fail to be noticed
When you think the world's on your side
Like poisoning vines, just when you think it's over
You find another tree to climb
On the other side, the light is much brighter
You raise the bar, the higher you climb
Cause if all you really want is to feel some self-assurance
And you're leaning over fences just to see how green the grass is
Just keep your feet in the dirt of your life
Like poisoning vines, you fail to be noticed
When you think the world's on your side
Like poisoning vines, just when you think it's over
You find another tree to climb
Are you happy? Do you feel alive?
All that you want is right by your side
But it's not enough.
No, it's never enough
To keep up
To keep up
Like poisoning vines, you fail to be noticed
When you think the world's on your side
Like poisoning vines, just when you think it's over
You find another tree to climb
You find another tree to climb
You find another tree to climb

The Ocean
03:16

If you were the ocean, I’d be an island
If you were the desert, I’d be the sea
If you were the ocean, I’d be an island
Let you cover over me
Let you cover over me
If you were the ocean
I'd lose myself in you all summer long
Drive to the west coast to watch the sun drown in you
Never sleep because I wouldn't want to miss
You and the words you say, the words you say are my only truth
Draw me closer with every color of your stare
Wonder at the way, you turn the daylight into diamonds
If you were the ocean, I’d be an island
If you were the desert, I’d be the sea
If you were the ocean, I’d be an island
Let you cover over me
Let you cover over me
If you were the desert, I'd wrap myself in you in every season
Tell you 1,000 stories, a different story every night
Lie to me whenever I was thirsty
You would bring me to my knees, I come crawling on my knees
Kiss away, kiss away my comfort
This is my story, but even in this story
Every summer has to end, but it’s not over
So let’s start it up again
If you were the ocean, I’d be an island
If you were the desert, I’d be the sea
If you were the ocean, I’d be an island
Let you cover over me
Let you cover over me
If you were the ocean, I’d be an island
If you were the desert, I’d be the sea
If you were the ocean, I’d be an island
Let you cover over me
Let you cover over me

Let the Night Die
04:04
|
|||
If you keep it up
You’ll run in circles, stop
You never break to see the light
If your head is down
You will miss what’s for real now
The sun will put an end to night
Wait for the rise and you’ll see it all
Let the night die
Let yourself go
Don’t wish upon the fading lights until the morning comes
Let the night die or your fog will grow
Leave behind your hopeless dreams
Escape where we are from
Let the night die
Let the night die
If you’re hanging on
You’ll fool yourself too long
You’ll miss the treasure in your days
If you’re holding out
Surrounded by your doubt
Can't see the error in your ways
Wait for the rise and you’ll see it all
Let the night die
Let yourself go
Don’t wish upon the fading lights until the morning comes
Let the night die or your fog will grow
Leave behind your hopeless dreams
Escape where we are from
Let the night die
Let the night die
Let the night die
Let yourself go
Don’t wish upon the fading lights until the morning comes
Let the night die or your fog will grow
Leave behind your hopeless dreams
Escape where we are from
Let the night die
Let the night die

Writing Our History
05:06
|

If you could be inside memories
Would you change them?
Rewrite your history?
And undo old pain
Dry up cold rain
Make it make sense
Derail the fast train
And I am here for you
Make me feel you, too
Show me how to mend
And I won’t hurt again
Oh, I need a brand new story
Oh, you and me
Writing our history
Here we are now
Who, what, and how
Feels so different
Forever I vow to change for their sake
Difference to make
Free up my hands
Fresh start or last break?
And I am here for you
Make me feel you, too
Show me how to mend
And I won’t hurt again
Oh, I need a brand new story
Oh, you and me
Writing our history
Our separate pasts collide
As we erase the scars inside
Never will we lose this fight
Our two wrongs will make, will make things right
Oh, I need a brand new story
Oh, you and me
Writing our history

My Darkest Days
04:25
|
|||
If I died right here right now you'd probably roll right over and go back to sleep
But I wouldn't hold that against you
Oh, no
Oh, no
How could you know that the last thing I would see
Were your hydrogen eyes slowly closing, slowly fading
Always telling me all, all that I need to believe
In my darkest days
I remember
The sound of your voice crying out
It's telling me secrets
That I'll never know
Your secrets that I'll never know
If I died right here right now you'd probably roll right over and go back to sleep
But I wouldn't hold that against you
Oh, no
Oh, no
How could I know
That I'd fallen oh so hard?
So far?
So long?
So long?
Till I buried the rest
Buried the rest of myself
In my darkest days
I remember
The sound of your voice crying out
It's telling me secrets
That I'll never know
Your secrets that I'll never know

Silence
05:29
|

Roll down the windows
Silence the airwaves
Don't let those flashing lights hypnotize you anymore
Roll down the windows
Silence the airwaves
Don't let those flashing lights hypnotize you anymore
Anymore
Can you even hear me?
Are you even listening?
I'll hide my messages in source code
And hope that they find you
We are
We are here
We are together
We are indifferent
Altogether lost in the glow
In the transmission of nothing that matters at all
Roll down the windows
Silence the airwaves
Don't let those flashing lights hypnotize you anymore
Anymore
We are
We are here
We are together
We are indifferent
Altogether lost in the glow
In the transmission of nothing that matters at all
We are indifferent
We are indifferent
We are indifferent
We are indifferent
We are hypnotized by nothing that matters at all

Understand
04:55
|
|||
It's hidden in faith and shadowed by lies
It's shaking bars to be freed
The frustrating truth cloaked by the fog
It's up to me to believe
Look inside, try to realize
I'll never know why I'm here
Close my eyes, try to realize
There's more to trust than to fear
When will I understand?
When will I ever know?
It attacks my mind, but I know that I'm not the only one
When will I see the light?
When will I meet the truth?
Searching 'till the end, never knowing when will I be with you
It's over my head, so why even try
Unable to focus the view
Erasing the past just to open the now
Wipe off the slate to make new
Look inside
Try to realize
I'll never know why I'm here
Close my eyes
Try to realize
There's more to trust than to fear
When will I understand?
When will I ever know?
It attacks my mind, but I know that I'm
not the only one.
When will I see the light?
When will I meet the truth?
Searching 'till the end, never knowing when will I be with you
It's too complicated, so what can we do
Make up the story you need
Make peace with yourself and never deny
Where you and your faith will lead
Look inside and you'll realize
We'll never know why we're here
Close your eyes and you'll realize
There's more to trust than to fear
When will we understand?
When will we ever know?
Take charge of your fear, cause you know that we're not the only ones
When will we see the light?
When will we meet the truth?
Searching 'till the end, never knowing when will we be with you
When will we be with you
When will we be with you
Be with you

Over
04:20
|

So now it’s over...
We were young when we were undressed
We were sharing the weight of our burdens
We were wild then
We were breathless
We were looking for strength and found weakness
Time was growing old
We were growing cold
So, now it's over
And the rest is left behind
The tides of our lives have been pulling us farther and farther away
From these castles we built out of clay
And we thought it would always stay this way
So now it's over
We were old when we grew lifeless
We were lying for sake of each other
We are healed now
We have found out
We are stronger for love of another
Time is growning old
Now it’s taken hold
So, now it's over
And the rest is left behind
The tides of our lives have been pulling us farther and farther away
From these castles we built out of clay
And we thought it would always stay this way
So now it's over
So, now it's over
And the rest is left behind
The tides of our lives have been pulling us farther and farther away
From these castles we built out of clay
And we thought it would always stay this way
So now it's over
