A Safe Place

Verse 1
This silence - it keeps the others sane
Albeit now we look the other way
And dreams to keep the children safe
But we know how there may be no escape
And freedom - a relative thing
Forget the human race
For just a moment
For just a moment
For just a moment
Chorus
In keeping time
The final chance
Erase the sin
Beyond all saving face
Right now this is the place
Where sanities plea
Where rationality and love
Will find a safe place
Verse 2
Excuses - the outcry of the weak
You must be strong for fear you’ll be replaced
Condition - a broken dying state
To conquer now, a fatal mistake
Confusion of what we had before
We can’t ignore that final resting place
A dispossessing to never happen
No never happen
Chorus
In keeping time
The final chance
Erase the sin
Beyond all saving face
Right now this is the place
Where sanities plea
Where rationality and love
Will find a safe place

Built On Tears

Verse 1
Now that it’s real
Just one more encounter here
Is it safe, or will it prove to be painful?
And is it worse to be apart or to be marked disdainful?
It’s not real - addiction is deceitful
Another mark - a signature
Think you cannot escape
Chorus
And carried away
What lies have I succumbed to?
To exchange emotional prison
A pulling away to protect a fragile situation
Built on tears from an early day, for an early grave
Verse 2
Though not alone, this confusion is desperation
That desperate call - a panic, a sickness, a complication
Seeking placation, the only savior in your situation
Chorus
And carried away
What lies have I succumbed to?
To exchange emotional prison
A pulling away to protect a fragile situation (carried away)
What lies have I succumbed to?
To exchange emotional prison
A pulling away to protect a fragile situation (carried away)
Built on tears from an early day, for an early grave
Outro
They say winter pays for summer. And it did.
But winter came again too quickly as the old man blew in with an icy gambit to slam the door.
Tears at me searching for weaker seams.
Will this season be too long? As it breeds a new collection of mournful songs.
Excuses made and trust eroded in heartbreak and treachery. While the knight on his tour makes a mockery.
Makes me cruel.
Makes me spiteful.

Scars Earned

Verse 1
Stay in, shut out
Breathe in and go without
Is emotional distance our collateral damage?
A broken love and sanity, our fragile lost family
And how did you earn your scars?
Was it when we pushed apart?
Chorus
How long?
Many are done and moved on
How long?
Learn from these scars born in trial
How long?
Mourn, then recover and wait for the next
How long?
Verse 2
Shut down and freak out
Insult and crash aloud
Did your point of view change?
Do you cope with any new pain?
Lash out, mind set
See hope, but no regret
How bad are you broken?
Is it something left unspoken?
Chorus
How long?
Frozen in line but push on
How long?
Learn from the past what becomes
How long?
Or did they mourn in their loss and pass on?
How long?
Bridge
It's time to turn and quench the flame
To grow and start anew
Will the pain of the past still remain?
Achieve what's left for the few
Achieve what's left for the few
Chorus
How long?
Till it's done and forever gone
How long?
So tired and burned by the sun
How long?
Bound and broken while we’re missing the rest
How long?
Till it's done and forever gone
How long?
So tired and burned by the sun
How long?
Bound and broken while we’re missing the rest
How long?

The Lines

Verse 1
It's a cold day in your heart
Look at me now, the pain's in my face
You swore to be something real
If you'd only trust me and feel
Chorus
See the lines drawn by you, they are not misplaced
I would not erase
Everything around you is displaced
Confidence melting and just about gone
I cannot speak, frozen out by your disease
Kept at bay by your designs, be they real or fantasized
Bridge
Let me in, let me in
Don't make me shout
What was surreal you can't conceal
From within your dark escape, come out
Come out, come out, come out
Come out, come out, come out
Verse 2
Fading colors, painting by numbers
You are my art
I can see past your jagged lines
Will you return or will you stay blind?
Chorus
See the lines drawn by you, they are not misplaced
I would not erase
Everything around you is displaced
Confidence melting and just about gone
I cannot speak, frozen out by your disease
Kept at bay by your designs, be they real or fantasized
Bridge
Let me in, let me in
Don't make me shout
What was surreal you can't conceal
From within your dark escape, come out
Come out, come out, come out
Come out, come out, come out
Verse 3
I can see the signs beginning to show
Like fractures in the ice, threatening to grow
But I don't want to let it melt away
I want to find a way to fix what's broken and to stay
Chorus
See the lines drawn by you, they are not misplaced
I would not erase
Everything around you is displaced
Confidence melting and just about gone
I cannot speak, frozen out by your disease
Kept at bay by your designs, be they real or fantasized
I cannot speak, frozen out by your disease
Kept at bay by your designs, be they real or fantasized
