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

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

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

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
