Hollow Place
03:03

|
Picking up the pieces of where we left this off
Did you find yourself?
Did you make it out; of the hollow place we tried to escape
But misery kept holding us back
I see the courage in you
(You'll be alright)
Through every dark corner you turn to
I see the courage in you
(There is a light)
Through every dark corner you turn to
This hollow place
It resonates
To the hope
Inside our hearts
Keep holding this hope
It's the only thing we have
To guide our light through the trials ahead we face
Keep holding hope
Keep holding hope
You don't have to do this alone
We haven't lost ourselves
Never alone in a hollow place
We need to pick each other up
Never alone in a hollow place
We need to stick together
Only then will things get better
Knowing if we confide in each other, will we escape this hollow place
Confide in me
I'll confide in you
The selfish will find themselves stuck in a hollow place

Holding Onto Hope

Hold This Hope
You spend your life, feel like your sinking
four walls are closing in, no never let go
keep holding onto hope
Hold this hope
traversing through life with eyes wide shut
will only get us so far
just know there are brighter days, if you raise your
head and breathe them in
create the person you want to be and cast
everyone's judgments aside, life is yours to create,
don't let anyone tell you otherwise
close your eyes and breathe in
to give up and give in to what others think
is throwing your dreams away
naysayers, find no comfort in these words
your venomous mentality can only reach so far
from here...
we're all far from perfect, but everyone has a purpose
these trial that we face will cast our names into stone
you're never alone
in the end we're all holding onto hope
never alone, hearts cast to stone

Bloom
03:15
|

|
Wandering spirits dance above the ether,
Translucent to the eye
But forever in our hearts
I've lost myself,
An Apparition,
Amongst the masses.
Worry not this heart beset with scars,
It only yearns to feel whole again.
Through trial and error (I'll peace it together),
This spirit I wield is unbreakable.
I need to find peace of mind,
To breathe and bloom, let my worries subside.
Deep inside the vessel a spark waits to bloom.
Casting light (on a life) I've been wondering through blind,
An apparition to myself, afraid of all the feelings felt.
But I can't carry on this way..
Deep inside,
A spark waits to bloom
Inside our hearts
And I wont let go.
Never letting go,
Let this new fury bloom and burn.
Casting light (on a life) I've been wondering through blind,
I know I'll find my way, I wont let go.
Of these feeling I've been so scared of.
This heart blooms new fury, new courage, everlasting.
This spirit I wield is unbreakable,
These honest hearts are obtainable.
Set my sail's toward the sun,
Leave the overcast forever behind me.

Light Years
04:03

Time was never on our side
We were always destined to fail
even though we're light years apart
I'll always carry love for you in my heart
This modern love, this modern love I feel
I'll never let this feeling die
You gifted me love
You gifted me light
Taught me to face my fears when I had my doubts
I'll always strive to be the man you saw in me
I'll take this gift you burdened me with, find my own way out
Even though we're light years apart
I'll always carry love for you in my heart
Because I know these feelings hold more weight than gold
The whispers in the wind - they guide me
To a place where love surrounds me
The modern pain I felt was the only thing weighing me down
Burn our effigies and cast them to the wind
We're not the same people we were yesterday
We try to relate
Cast out the hate
That we stored in our hearts
There's always room to grow
Even though we're light years apart
No matter the distance
I'll always be here
To keep you safe and sound
Even though we're light years apart
I'll always carry love for you in my heart
If ever alone, just know
You can confide in me

Dying Light
04:44
|
|||
|
Trying to make sense of life
And the death that surely follows
Will I ever make my mark?
A lasting impression on those around me
It scares me to think I'll wither away
Decay l like all the flowers
Hold fast
The flames buried deep in our hearts
They yearn for something greater than they've given us
We bend and break
Starve ourselves sick of happiness
With trembling hands
I struggle to write these words down
Knowing my light will expire
Let this dying light be my guide
To traverse the darkness in my life
I can't give in to fear
Of not knowing what lies ahead
But self-doubt is a feeling I know all too well
Running on borrowed time
We rush to make our mark
Searching for acceptance and self-worth
I'll graciously accept this is a race I'll never win
Just take me as I am
We bend and break
Starve ourselves sick of happiness
Waiting on a purpose to guide our light
Knowing the weight of our worth, and what we'll amount to
I won't let these ideals hold weight over me and my life
So I embrace this dying light
Hold true to the flames that I forged
Never looking back on the fields on yesterday
I'll take this one step at a time
Because I know there's more to life than letting happiness die
Let this dying light be my guide to traverse the darkness in my life
I sat and stared out the window for far too long
Watching happiness drift through the cracks in the glass
Waiting on that fleeting wind to move me in the right direction
I realize the only cure for this pain lies within my self I need to pick myself up and fight back against the self-doubt and insecurities that have weighed over me for all these years
Nothing will get better until I pick myself back up
To see life in a different light
I know I'll make it out alright, still alive

How long
How long has it been
Since I felt the touch of your skin
Watched the flowers bloom beneath your feet
Deadweight draggin' me down
Used to see heaven in your eyes
Now I'm drowning in your hell
Take my last breath
Just get me away from here
A stranger to my own reflection
fucking worthless . . . no direction
Sinking deeper into the place I thought that I knew
Your hands around my throat keep pulling me down
They say in heaven everything is fine
But it's not for me, it's not for me
I'll never get a taste
Your heaven is my hell
And I guess that's okay with me
Watch the flowers decay at your feet
