1.
Some vacant land An empty soul The day we stand Up 4 our own Raise the land Raise the land To challenge all Of history & write our own New destiny Raise the land Raise the land Reaction to Reactionary's new tear Deconstruction of Conformity's heir Raise the land Raise the land
2.
Over My Head 02:19
I'm on a windowsill Away I'll fly Time full of hurt & hell 2day never ends Wish on a falling star Lift up & away Drift down the road too far If I sail on by With or without a cause Reach another shore Beach full of hopes I've lost The sun over my head
3.
Do I know if I'm holding this back A shallow point in time Do I know if I'm lost in my tracks The sun won't let me What's keeping me tied to this cloud Will I know the difference Where am I if I'm always stuck here The sun won't let me so I won't sunburn The challenge has lost all of its charm The reason was so solid too The avenues of cold have disarmed But the sun won't let me
4.
The Wound 03:14
Make a choice right now The center of the forces you're part of Believe the price U pay We all pay Faith alone Wont' heal the wound Stand up 4 someone else's Needs & their struggles This world's all we've got 2gether we grow as we share it Believe the price U pay We all pay Faith alone Wont' heal the wound Honor less of the need 2 always be more Everything we hold Was given by another's compassion & this & that 2day Give back Believe the price U pay We all pay Faith alone Wont' heal the wound Build upon the ruins Of the old & forgotten Shakeup your mind & embrace all the new possibilities
5.
Here & Now 03:11
Keep faith alive Inside a circle Back around 2 doubt Keep hoping on The need for a lie to lie & you belong right here & right now it's all that we have What moves the sun Inside of the rivers that erase the stars Let's carry on Pretending the ride Doesn't lead us to ruin Once more around 2day & to-nite's is all that reason gives & you belong right here & right now it's all that we have Just want it all Watching it slowly slip out of your reach & give It time Rhyme With this Go But slow Redeem Defeat & you belong right here & right now it's all that we have What matters less Than planning life out Every step of the way This need for bliss Denying the ground Right beneath our feet
6.
Beat Of Life 02:20
Hey now more This rain is cursing me Styling towards A place that's circling Shade of the sun Gonna bring it around Played ever more In the beat of a sound High life 2day Wanna dance in the heat of life Woah go back & wait 4 a calmer moment No I'm back In two this twilight's holding Shade of the sun Gonna bring it around Played ever more In the beat of a sound High life 2day Wanna dance in the heat of life Feel the groove & move into the sunrise The nite will fall Into another delight Shade of the sun Gonna bring it around Played ever more In the heat of the sound High life 2day Wanna dance in the beat of life
7.
2-day 01:52
New pair of lies It's tearing apart & I realize I'm lost in the art I live a day always I wander off & fall Remember the odds I faint at the sight I'm laughing at gods & losing the fight Redeemed & resolved to follow the course I think I'll dissolve & change the discourse I live 2-day always I wander off & crawl
8.
Saddened 02:18
Walk a mile or two Shine a light on blue Stand in rain all day Lost in though always Saddened Saddened Watch the sun pass by Evening comes on why Time enough 2 run B4 the day is done Saddened Saddened Alone I go So far This scar Saddened Saddened
9.
Away In Me 02:30
Still I'm giving it time Will 4 the shadows I burn Gone A sparrow in nite Ruin 2 be out of the light & I want 2 be Away in me I'll fall awake 2 stay Fly In the visions of dawn Try 2 linger I'm gone Pray Tomorrow I'll be Clay Inside of this dream & I want 2 be Away in me I'll fall awake 2 stay
10.
The Moon 01:47
Fade away Out 2day Fall in the nite 4 a taste of delight With the moon in the room & the flames of desire Touch the words Lust that burns Fall in the nite 4 a taste of delight With the moon in the room & the flames of desire Reach the hard Dream Need Theme? Steam Follow on All is want Fall in the nite 4 a taste of delight With the moon in the room & the flames of desire Feel the heat Chase the beat All nite
