Aurora Borealis
04:33
|

Storm clouds under a starry sky
I was a mariner
A cold front, but I couldn't feel the bite
I was asleep from worlds
Now I'm awake
And I remember the way the lights flashed in the sky
Reflected in Your eyes
Then for a moment I saw Your face and love followed me home
You followed me home
Snowflakes reflecting the moonlight
My icy and cold abode
A cold heart, frozen and kept inside
Leaving me comatose
Now I'm awake
And I remember the way the colors filled the night
Brilliant in our sight
Then for a moment I saw Your face and love followed me home
You followed me home
Then for a moment I saw Your face and love followed me home
You followed me home
Oh...
And I was filled with wonder
I'll never really understand
The way the sky was torn asunder
The way my heart was held in Your hand
Oh...
Then for a moment I saw Your face and love followed me home
You followed me home
Then for a moment I saw Your face and love followed me home
You followed me home
Then for a moment I saw Your face and love followed me home
You followed me home
Followed me home, You followed me home
Followed me home, You followed me home
Followed me home, You followed
Me home

This is not a temporary statement
There's too many content to only fake it
We've fallen into there for the last time, so never again, never again
I've hidden who I am from everything and everyone
Claiming that where I am is not a place to jump the gun
I've spent to long regretting everything I've ever done
Those days have met their end, so never again, never again
When we sing, we're gonna make a difference
Our hearts will not just keep this quiet, our words will be our witness
And these wings, they're gonna go the distance
We've silenced ourselves far too long, so find your voice and join the song
And I won't accuse the past, it's just a fading memory
Nothing there can stop us belting out this melody
I've turned my back on what I've done, that's not the man that I'll become
I'm never going back, so never again, never again
I've spent too long relying on the strength You've given me
I'm turning myself over to the One who lives in me
I'll never make myself into the man I wanna be
Those days have met their end, so never again, never again
When we sing, we're gonna make a difference
Our hearts will not just keep this quiet, our words will be our witness
And these wings, they're gonna go the distance
We've silenced ourselves far too long, so find your voice and join the song
I'll never again try to just fake it, pretend I'm someone else
Never again try to be making myself do what I can't
When we sing, we're gonna make a difference
Our hearts will not just keep this quiet, our words will be our witness
And our hearts will not just keep this quiet
Our words will be our witness that our lives will make a difference
And our mouths, they're gonna break the silence
So ready your wings to fly and join the song

Careen
03:44
|
|||
It's hard to imagine life without a promise of tomorrow
So hold on, stay strong, we'll live in hope through sorrow
Try not to extinguish the flame of hope that keeps us burning strong
In my sleep, in my dreams, it's getting harder to hold on
But I force myself to know
That when there's life there's hope
I have killed my dreams (This fear that holds me captive)
Staring at the sea (All Your words fail in practice)
The visions that stop me from falling asleep
The signs in the nightmares I see as we careen
I'll be home if you need me, the problem is keeping my skin within one piece
In my sleep, in my dreams, my nerve fails every time I try to sleep
I guess I never asked for an easy life
Would I have gotten one if I tried
If this were the end would things be alright
I'm needing You to stand by my side
I'm holding on, but barely
My life was wrong from the start, and I'm falling apart
I'm holding on, so save me
I'm being trapped in my head, and my thoughts have left me for dead
I have killed my dreams
Staring at the sea
I have killed my dreams (This fear that holds me captive)
Staring at the sea (All Your words fail in practice)
The visions that stop me from falling asleep
The signs in the nightmares I see as we careen

SOS
03:01
|
|||
I know this isn't working
And our plans have all gone wrong
And disaster's more than lurking
We both know this can't go on
I've been waiting on a miracle
Something to come and save me from the fall
I've been waiting on the world to stall
So I can save you too
Sending our SOS
I hope one day I live to regret this
Pain that I caused, the inevitable
Ending we both saw
Sending our SOS
The day I faced the consequence
Does it take more than to tell you I was wrong
For me to save our song
Mayday, mayday, mayday
We're going down in flames
My heart has yet to change
But will my mind regret the day
That we spoke
And my apology only made you more incredulous
And you said
It's destiny that came and brought us to this
You rushed me to the hospital
The two of us were barely holding on
My heart broke when I heard your call
I'm glad you're with me too
Sending our SOS
I hope one day I live to regret this
Pain that I caused, the inevitable
Ending we both saw
Sending our SOS
The day I faced the consequence
Does it take more than to tell you I was wrong
For me to save our song
We held the pieces together
As He glued them into place
We've got to stand be each other
And the rest is up to grace
Sending our SOS
Sending our SOS

It doesn't help
Having no sense of precision
I don't know what it means when you make a decision
(Oh) I'm going going back and forth
And I can't take it, no I can't take it
It takes some discipline to open my mouth
It takes some more to stop this story from spilling out
Every word you say goes straight to my heart
And I can't take it, no I can't take it
You don't know what's going on inside
And that's alright because I'm out of my mind
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
I've got to stop causing a racket I need a straightjacket
It's a lesson in forensics
And you have always been good at a synthesis
If I'm caught red-handed I plead insanity
'Cause I can't take it, no I can't take it
You don't know what's going on inside
And that's alright because I'm out of my mind
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
I've got to stop causing a racket I need a straightjacket
You don't know (You don't know) what's going on inside
And that's alright because I'm out of my mind
Nowhere to run (Nowhere to run) and nowhere to hide
I've got to stop causing a racket I need a straightjacket
So girl tell me who I am
'Cause this is a romance and that's not what I understand
Tell me if I've even one chance
'Cause you've got me wanting to learn from you how to dance
You don't know what's going on inside
And that's alright because I'm out of my mind
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
I need a chance to take my time

All I ask is a window facing north
To pretend that I can see you with the stars shining forth
But if you smiled then your face would outshine them all
Replace the sun in summer, winter, spring, and fall
Oh, oh
The sun in summer, winter, spring, and fall
And we fall
With the stars from the sky
To a place where people lose themselves
And never really question why
We fall
With the stars from the sky
It takes a bit of life to feel alive
To feel alive
And if my first request not be denied
I would ask you watch the meteors cut gashes in the night
And as the cuts lose their fires as they burn
I'll ask myself the lessons I could learn
Oh, oh
Ask myself the lessons I could learn
And we fall
With the stars from the sky
To a place where people lose themselves
And never really question why
We fall
With the stars from the sky
It takes a bit of life to feel alive
To feel alive
And when they question why I'll make all these demands
I'll reply that in love it's not the feeling but the plan
And if we take the time to strengthen our resolve
We'll last through summer, winter, spring, and fall
Oh, oh
Last through summer, winter, spring, and fall
And we fall
With the stars from the sky
To a place where people lose themselves
And never really question why
We fall
With the stars from the sky
It takes a bit of life to feel alive
Oh, oh
It takes a bit of life to feel alive
And we fall
With the stars from the sky
To a place where people lose themselves
And never really question why
We fall
With the stars from the sky
It takes a bit of life to feel alive
To feel alive

Through the Desert
04:18
|

I am my own worst enemy
I am the cobra inside of my own head
I used to feel the viper's teeth
But my feet are numb from the burning path I tread
'Cause I, I'm used to feeling lonely
'Cause I've been trying to make it through the desert
My shadow across the sands it falls alone
And I've been trying to make it through the desert
I face the beating sun all on my own
I can't do this alone
Dead inside
I'm lonely in this skin
This thirst is killing me but I won't let it show
Bring me to life
I need a resurrection
God, You're the only One who's always known
'Cause I refuse to be transparent
'Cause I've been trying to make it through the desert
My shadow across the sands it falls alone
And I've been trying to make it through the desert
I face the beating sun all on my own
I can't do this alone
I am the elder of the prodigal sons
I never ran away from home, but my heart's no closer than the younger one
And yet You brought me home without reason
But that You love me
Yeah, You love me
'Cause I've been trying to make it through the desert
Yet I could never stand on my own
And I've been trying to make it through the desert
I know with You I'm never alone

Newborn Sun
04:54
|

Is this a new sun, or just another dawn
The newborn day opens its eyes, and so will I again
Are these the angels, or are they just the birds
The feathered choir raises its voice, and so will I again
In the wide and open spaces
In all the places of the earth the rocks and trees look different
In every corner of creation
All the stars and all the galaxies look so brand new, like I've been born, I've been born again
Am I the first man, or just another child
My broken soul is made anew, and so am I again
In the wide and open spaces
In all the places of the earth the rocks and trees look different
In every corner of creation
All the stars and all the galaxies look so brand new, like I've been born, I've been born again
Is this a new world, or just another day
My new-made heart looks up to You, and so will I
In the wide and open spaces
In all the places of the earth the rocks and trees look different
In every corner of creation
All the stars and all the galaxies look so brand new, like I've been born, I've been born
I've been born, I've been born
Again

Crime
03:31
|
|||
I'm sorry for saying this
But I still refuse to believe
That we always had a death wish
And that you were born to leave me
They say I'm in denial
But I've still got a king up my sleeve
You're putting me on trial
But I hold the gavel, you'll see
At one point I made up my mind (I promised)
I'd never let this love die
If we look past the crimes we have committed
Find the road where love starts
We'll fix our broken hearts
Promise me you'll never give in
If it tears our whole world apart
We'll make a work of art
I've still been wishing if not more than you
That we could feel like we did on our debut
But in your abstention I'm making a motion
To find something stronger than pure emotion
At one point I made up my mind (I promised)
If you ever left me I'd try (To keep this)
I'm working with all of my might (Stay breathing)
And I'll never let this love die
If we look past the crimes we have committed
Find the road where love starts
We'll fix our broken hearts
Promise me you'll never give in
If it tears our whole world apart
We'll make a work of art
If we look past the crimes we have committed
Find the road where love starts
We'll fix our broken hearts
Promise me you'll never give in
(The space between us has brought me to tears)
If it tears our whole world apart
(The things you said confirmed my worst fears)
But I won't give up
I'll make a work of art
Make a work of art

Collision Course
02:46
|
|||
It's a fine line between love and challenging immortality
But caution's helpless, so take a risk to rise and see what life could be
And if love is still a war
Then sound the air raid alarms
I'm surprised you didn't see
Searchlights trained
In one direction
One track mind
In insurrection
I couldn't stop this if I tried
Searchlights find
A new adventure
In my eyes
I'm glad you mentioned
Don't save me, I'm gonna collide
I'm still not thinking clearly 'bout it
Still not thinking clearly 'bout it now
It's a fine line between love and just a transient state of mind
But resolve can heal this, so make a wish to rise and form the ties that bind
There's something real inside
Searchlights trained
In one direction
One track mind
In insurrection
I couldn't stop this if I tried
Searchlights find
A new adventure
In my eyes
I'm glad you mentioned
Don't save me, I'm gonna collide
I'm still not thinking clearly 'bout it
Still not thinking clearly 'bout it
There's something working its way through the back of my mind
You're somehow here to stay, and you didn't even try
We're on a course to collide
Collide
Searchlights trained
In one direction
One track mind
In insurrection
I couldn't stop this if I tried
Searchlights find
A new adventure
In my eyes
I'm glad you mentioned
Don't save me, I'm gonna collide
I'm still not thinking clearly 'bout it

Shipwrecked
03:11
|

This ship is going down
But beneath the waves I know that I won't drown
Davy Jones has claimed the crown
But the final word says that his vote won't count
This ship is going down
But despite the fear I know that I've been found
There's always a way out, so we still haven't fought the final round
Currents flow above and beside me
Waves toss and turn my ship in this heart's deep
But I can feel my anchor holding strong
My eyes still view a world that is so bleak
But joy will be my strength when my heart's weak
And love will keep us though the storm be long
And we be shipwrecked on the shore
This ship is going down, but on this beach I know I'm safe and sound
I'm lost and filled with doubt, but I know there's someone who'll seek me out
Currents flow above and beside me
Waves toss and turn my ship in this heart's deep
But I can feel my anchor holding strong
My eyes still view a world that is so bleak
But joy will be my strength when my heart's weak
And love will keep us though the storm be long
And we be shipwrecked on the shore
Currents flow above and beside me
Waves toss and turn my ship in this heart's deep
But I can feel my anchor holding strong
My eyes still view a world that is so bleak
But joy will be my strength when my heart's weak
And love will keep us though the storm be long
And we be shipwrecked on the shore

Open eyes to a world in motion
The seas beset by storms
Broken skies unfurled o'er the ocean
The stars shine on this shore
And when dreams come true, do they last forever
The distances have grown between us
And when plans fall through, will we fall together
I'm starting to think I'm waking up

Aurora Australis

Try hard as we may, we cannot
Resist the hands of change
Father Time is waking, always making
Nothing stay the same
But all we had was never perfect
And time will only tell
If the lighted sky was a lasting sign
And we can end this journey well
I won’t lose contact
I won’t become a memory
I won’t release the fading feeling
In the messages you send me
I won’t lose contact
You won’t become a memory
You won’t become a haunting spectre
That makes my heart keep rending
I burned all of my bridges but the one
That keeps me repeating that mistake
Father Time is shaking his head saying
I’ll never get a second take
But if all we have is moving on
From the places that we fell
Each storm we weather all together
We can end this journey well
I won’t lose contact
I won’t become a memory
I won’t release the fading feeling
In the messages you send me
I won’t lose contact
(We won’t lose everything we had)
You won’t become a memory
(We’ll stay the friends we’ve always been, remain through good and bad)
You won’t become a haunting spectre
(And we won’t become only a memory)
That makes my heart keep rending
(We’ll stay within through ink and pen, this heart will not be rending)
I won’t lose contact
I won’t become a memory
I won’t release the fading feeling
In the messages you send me
I won’t lose contact
(We won’t lose everything we had)
You won’t become a memory
(We’ll stay the friends we’ve always been, remain through good and bad)
You won’t become a haunting spectre
(And we won’t become only a memory)
That makes my heart keep rending
(We’ll stay within through ink and pen, this heart will not be rending)
(Like I’ve been born, I’ve been born again)
Then for a moment I saw your face and love followed me home (followed me home)
When we sing, we’re gonna make a difference
Our hearts will not just keep this quiet
Our words will be our witness that our lives will make a difference
And our mouths, they’re gonna break the silence
So ready your wings to fly and join the song
It’s our song
We won’t lose contact
We won’t become a memory
We will not tear our own hearts open
We will remain unbroken
We won’t lose contact
(We won't lose contact)
We won’t become a memory
(We won't lose contact)
We will not let this be our end
(We won't lose contact)
We will not let this be our end
(We won't lose...)
Oh
I won’t be silent
I won’t be unwise
I need it
And I won’t let it die
I need it
I won’t let this be our last line tonight
Tonight
