VERSE 1
It's no longer but I thought I might
Wean off it and come out alive
But don’t make me go crazy
Cause lately I’m floored
CHORUS 1
So lift me off of this
Breathe in one last breath
Help me out
Something’s gotta give
VERSE 2
How tragic and cruel to find
It's no longer here, It's all in your mind
But don’t make me have faith please
I'm crazy, I know
CHORUS
So lift me off of this
Breathe in one last breath
Help me out
Something’s gotta give
So lift me overhead
Hold on til I’m dead
Help me out
Something’s gotta give
BRIDGE
So lift me up until I’m dead and lay your final prayers to bed
With all your wishes getting old, now your time is letting go
All the waste it takes its toll, now I’m bound to pay in full
CHORUS

Dire Elevation

CHORUS
Way Up There
Free me from this place I dread
Take me way up there
Help me fade away
VERSE
Trailhead standing below
The spark in the shadow
The start of it all
Solaced walking away
The pleasure in the pain
Elevated escape
Staring as mountains unfold
Creating dreams unknown
Let’s conquer them all
Scattered back down that way
I’m feeling tempted to stay
Bring me life
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Through the clouds the sky escapes
I feel my breath pulled away
In the clouds where I escape
The sun breaks through and takes its shape
Spark take fire, bring me life here
Lately I've been feeling dire
Way Up Way Up Way Up Way UP
CHORUS
(Repeat)
Take me from here
Help me fade away

VERSE 1
Is it making sense?
Through your ignorance
Are you filled with dread?
As you shoot them dead
But you only know
Your crooked broken code
CHORUS 1
With all this in plain sight
You won’t forget, though you try
The bond you thought was sacred is only just a blanket
Through all this you stay blind
I’d scratch my eyes out to forget time
I never thought we’d make it, never thought we’d make it out alive,
Out Alive, Out Alive
VERSE 2
Does it make you tense?
To know we all exist
As you’re taking steps
To make us look inept
On your hollow throne
Bet you feel at home
CHORUS 2
With all this that once was blind
Now we’re focused on your kind
The charm you thought was sacred is only just a blanket
With all this in plain sight
You won’t forget though you try
I never thought we’d make it, never thought we’d make It out alive
Out Alive, Out Alive
OUTRO
Don’t suppose it’s on the way
Don’t suppose you’re on the take
Over-focused over-saved
Over-loved and over-praised
Don’t suppose you’re on the take
Never mind what hasn’t changed
Over-focused over-saved
Over-loved and over-praised

Encumbered
06:01
|

VERSE 1
A seamless smile and a heart of youth
Bend the lies to tell the truth
Wasted time in a wasted place
At least there’s only a few more days
Pre-chorus 1
Whatever you say, whatever you say
CHORUS
Caught in a moment, you cannot let go
Lost in a life that’s wandering off
All of the times spent out in the cold
And, weighted down
VERSE 2
A Lonely shadow wearing down
The flooding ends but the flames abound
With knowledge worth its weight in gold
Encumbered minds best left unsold
Pre-chorus 2
You haven’t changed, you haven’t changed
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Pre-chorus 3
You haven’t changed, the way that you say
CHORUS
OUTRO
Weighted down
Weighted down
Weighted down

Awake
03:00
|
|||
VERSE 1
Do you stay awake?
Do you feel that love is real but bartered like a plague?
Has it all consumed?
Tantalized, terrorized, and burned away your youth
CHORUS 1
All your worries melt away
All your life you walk away
Take what’s left don’t hesitate
While you’re wide awake
VERSE 2
Do you have to choose?
Shake it off, turn the clock back to where there’s you
Is it set in stone?
Change the plans, make amends, and set off on your own
CHORUS 2
Now your worries hide in place
All your life can’t turn the page
Take what’s left don’t hesitate
While you’re wide awake
BRIDGE
In this place and time
In the darkest light
In this place and time
Please, keep, me in mind
CHORUS 3
Keep me in Mind

Don't
05:36
|
|||
VERSE 1
Don’t let the waves carry you off here
Don’t let the seas flood your mind
Don’t make me guess where you’re off to
Don’t make me blind in your light
Now that we’re all here again
Now we’re exhausted, again
CHORUS
Oh, Me Oh My
Had to Try
Take it all
With a grain of salt
VERSE 2
Don’t close your eyes to disaster
Don’t hypnotize what’s already fazed
Don’t linger on your emotions
Don’t take the fall for something you can’t change
Now that we’re honest again
Now that we’ve crossed this, again
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Oooh, oooh, ooooh
CHORUS

Knife
05:02
|
|||
VERSE 1
Treading on the edge of nowhere
Holding on for your life
You fell into a bed of roses
That cut like a knife
Wake me up from my slumber
Throw me out in the wind
Help me feel something
Better than this, better than this
CHORUS
You’re the sharpest end
With the dullest edge
You’re the sharpest end
With the dullest edge
You’re the sharpest end
With the dullest edge
It’ll only take one stab
To leave me dead again
VERSE 2
Floating on the edge of nowhere
Hanging on for your life
You fell into a bed of roses
That cut like a knife
Wake me up from my slumber
Throw me out in the cold
When everything’s turning to nothing
And getting so old, getting so old
CHORUS
BRIDGE
And I’m at home
As you take off
And I let go
As you want more
And I’m at home
As you take off
CHORUS

Open Spaces
04:32
|
|||
VERSE 1
What’s your definition of infinite?
Limitless possibilities
Never ending circles intermittent
Stare into the void,
let your eyes breathe life here
Dreaded, Faded, Gone (Refrain)
VERSE 2
Imaginary walls of open spaces
Clouded by doubt and mystery
Repetition of an empty canvas
Wander through the silence
Watch the sounds take shape here
Dreaded, Faded, Gone
CHORUS
Don’t waste your time here
Don’t lose sense
It’s all in your head
Don’t miss your time here
and don’t lose sense
It’s all in your head
(Refrain)
VERSE 3
Lonely edges stretching outward
Boundless sights spread too thin
What’s it gonna take to make you see this?
What’s it gonna take to feel these open spaces?
Dreaded, Faded, Gone
CHORUS
CHORUS
(Refrain)

Something
06:14
|
|||
VERSE 1
I used to lay it all on nothing
Then I let it hang around
When the world is falling on me
I couldn’t let it hit the ground
(Refrain)
Insane, illogical
I don’t even know what hurt
All the years you’ve roamed
Down the winding road
Everyone has plans
A common use of common sense
And the will to mend
Overwhelmed again
CHORUS
So Lay out
Let go
Don’t hide,
Home
VERSE 2
I used to lay it all on something
That I really can’t abide
When a change becomes exhausting
Oh it’s a pain to feel alive
(Refrain)
CHORUS
BRIDGE
It’s useless on me
The noose is tightening
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
VERSE 3
I used to lay all on nothing
Then I let it hang around
When the world is falling slowly
You gotta let it hit the ground
(Refrain)
CHORUS
