Swamp Fire 02:19
There is a light that shines in the dark (there is a light that shines) Trust and good reason get lost in the dark (there is a light that shines) Climb your way up on your ladder of arms (there is a light that shines) Fire from the swamp burns bright in the dark (there is a light that shines...) How do we pick up when things go wrong When we feel used up, have given our all Don't want to feel broken, jaded or dulled but tiring of fighting to get out of this hole How can we move on when family is gone a box of memories, a heavy heart just a flicker of fire alive in the hearth is it enough of a spark to keep me inspired How can I feel, and how can I say? How can I feel, that I'm OK? How do we move on when we've been changed Event that have scarred us, left us in pain Will I ever be healed, or just be left behind will I ever be happy, will I ever be fine Eyes closed and alone and I wish that you could hear this Busy building social credit on the weekends Fucking gossip and betray a friend All the punks are cashing in

Its a bitter pill, a dying hope Leave a sour taste, a lump in my throat Dreams of family alight on a column of smoke Leave a lonely scent on my favorite coat Words of intention spelled of burning ash Repressed thoughts encased in melted glass Fiery glow, drifting sparks afloat Isolation wrapped in an ember cloak Lightning bugs take flight A glitter of warmth, a million dying lights Let it burn, let the bitter winds blow Take in the night, and let the emptiness go What does blood mean? It’s no thicker than  The water running Through my hands again Can’t believe the great hypocrisy, the lie we’re told to sleep Wrapped in arms that choke and smother When will we be released? Can’t imagine life without the ones were told will always stay A treason to tradition’s values, but we are better off this way Now we walk the line between great loss and wild hope Finding new families, but these will fall apart at last we know

Strands 02:30
If there is a way out (a way out) If there is a way in (a way in) Pulling these cords From inside of my throat Consumed by the violence within If there is a way out (a way to break out) If there is a way in (a way in) A light in the dark The flash of a spark Walk to the edge and then back again You see me, but you can't see The wires inside of me Tearing me up from within And the distortion is setting in You can't seem to divide Your vision from a deeper sight A dreamscape wrapped in string A fuller self wavering within These strands are so thin that they vibrate through my skin Sow through my psyche and tear me from within These strands are so thin that they vibrate through my skin

Brunt 02:40
These feelings I have are fleeting The words you say have little meaning Its not what you say, its just a feeling This psychic burden has left me reeling This beast of labor Is not a labor of love This brunt I’m bearing This time you can fucking shove it Theres a hole in my heart These lips are frozen Too cold to kiss, but a storm of emotion My body, its hollow It just won't function Tearing a rift too wide, too furrowed Aggressive words, subtly whispered You say the right thing, But whats being said? Theres a hole in my heart These lips are frozen Too cold to kiss, but a storm of emotion I can't be the one to hold this anymore You walk away - leave it dead on the floor Something is missing, your sick peace of mind Something is changing, it's over this time Yr trying your best you say When the lights are low and your slate is clean We’ll learn it again the hard way Again the hard way Again the hard way

Slow Thaw 02:39
There is a time, is a place, is a feeling you can catch In your hands, hold it there, pin it down and taste it Under your skin, breathe it in Feel the pull the ugly weight Of the lie sinking in Drowning you with the rip tide A good friend once said "it's that last thing that breaks you" What if you haven't been broken and the flames They won't take you Like air that can't be grasped Like an iron bar that just won't bend Or a rock in the riverbed That is worn away and turns to sand You say that you are working it out But all I hear is the crack of a glacier These wounds twist and tear But the body won't heal without the mind as well Thoughts like drifts of snow Hide our progress and has buried our growth Like frost on a frozen lake Too slow is the change, too long is the wait There is no fire - just the burning of heart in the hand There is no fire - just the thaw of frozen land Can’t feel Can’t touch Won’t break Wont rust Remake these twisted thoughts Realign these patterns of pain Cuz I don't want to end up bitter Don't want to end up worn and drained Cast away this body Cast away this weight Let's shed this frost that binds us Be reborn in flames

Faulty Maps 02:17
We draw the mist around us Cold fog and stars enshroud us Deep breaths in bodies know We will break and we will grow  We draw the sea around us  Cold water pulls upon us Deep waves in motion hold Secrets we already know Thinking back to the days in my head Of a time before your mind slipped away I wonder if those words that you spoke Will forever be burned from my brain Wish that death that I saw in your eyes Would not be reflected through my own brain Like a needle that has been threaded through time A disease I just won't let be mine I can’t - I won’t - believe the lies they told to me I can’t stop it… I can’t stop it I see your face in me Slipping down the same dark hole A desk of dusty paperwork And a mind that fills with mold I breath deep with your lungs And try to clear the air My thoughts grow quickly stagnant Dark clouds round my hair How do I make it out when all these maps are flawed The city curls within itself, and all the roads lead down There is no way to walk away from this Generations of fear are plaguing us There is no time to look for confidence in someone else’s eyes There is no room to move inside of this Darkness slowly closing down on us Take these hammers, pry these nails,  Burn these bridges, set the sails!
