"Hope Is A Place"

Different time, same place as you've always been
All holed up, like you're trapped within
Not really sure if there's a way to win
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Say it's just a taste of a place before
Your past stacked up on the bedroom floor
Mind made up, are you alive anymore?
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

[chorus]
Wake up and find
You're already designed
For something much greater
Than where you're confined
Hope is a place
So pick up the pace
You're wasting your time
When you know there's so much more to life

Feels like there's a wall every time you begin
Living in someone else's sin
Not everybody's life is perfection
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Some have it easy, some have it hard
But everybody's gotta play their hand of cards
You were dealt for a reason, now you're in charge
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

[chorus]
Wake up and find
You're already designed
For something much greater
Than where you're confined
Hope is a place
So pick up the pace
You're wasting your time
When you know there's so much more to life

And there's only so many excuses
Conditions, for why you can't do this
Do you ever feel, like the lines that we draw
Are really all useless
Yeah, they're all just useless

[chorus]
Wake up and find
You're already designed
For something much greater
Than where you're confined
Hope is a place
So finish the race
And stop wasting your time
When you know there's so much more to life
You know, there's so much more to life

"Isolation"

It's easy to be alone
So hard to be alive
Making make-shift homes
In this homeless genocide

One by one we struggle
Falling off as passers by
Need to learn to band together
If we're ever gonna survive

[chorus]
Curb the addiction
Tear down the walls of self-affliction
Cubicles of human souls, in isolation
Run in all directions
Only finding dim reflections
Do you know that you're a soul
Trapped in your isolation

It's easy to follow suit
But never follow it inside
Put on a face, when behind the scenes
The unseen are the ones who strive

Stop chasing the flashing lights
Find that peace is deep inside
We're never gonna find what we need
Searching for hope on the outside

[chorus]
Curb the addiction
Tear down the walls of self-affliction
Cubicles of human souls, in isolation
Run in all directions
Only finding dim reflections
Do you know that you're a soul
Trapped in your isolation

We need to breathe, we need to be alive
Not tangled up inside
We need to break away, so break the chains
With love open wide

[chorus]
Curb the addiction
Tear down the walls of self-affliction
Cubicles of human souls, in isolation
Run in all directions
Only finding dim reflections
Do you know that you're a soul
Still looking for the hope they stole
Do you know that you're a soul
Lose the chains and take control

"Hibernation"

I'm going away
For a little while
Never know how long I'll be gone
But I need some time
To rest my vapid brain
And shut out what's done me wrong

Cause living out there
Is too hard to bear

[chorus]
I could sleep until the stars are gone
And let the world roll on and on
Right now I couldn't care
Cause I don't want to see it
Until truth matches the evidence
Wake me up when the world makes sense

I'll hide in my cave
As long as I can
Not knowing if I'll ever find my way out
But I'd rather be trapped
In a comfortable prison
Than listen to all the uncomfortable sound

Cause everyone's reason
Sounds so alike
And I can't keep going
Pretending I'm right
As it snowballs and snowballs
Builds walls and builds walls

[chorus]
I could sleep until the stars are gone
And let the world roll on and on
Right now I couldn't care
Cause I don't want to see it
Until truth matches the evidence
Wake me up when the world makes sense

Wake me up when this winter's past
Wake me up when just something lasts
Under this space of inconsequence
Wake me up when the world makes sense

"Side-View Mirror"

Looking at me with expectations
In your eyes, that I cannot read
Placing a guideline you hide in the shadows
Holding me down with what you don't see

So what do you want from me
What you think I should be

[chorus]
Waiting for a response
I cannot give
I don't have the answer
To any of your questions
Over again
Your blinding reflection
In the corner of my eye
We all want to see a light

Mouth open wide inside your convictions
So open minded you'll drown in the sea
Over the ocean you'll sail for a while
Then change with the winds while you anchor belief

And the poetry, poetry
Speaking in riddles
Conducting a symphony you understand
All the harmonies, harmonies
You wanted me to sing
Tunes you want to hear, but I'm not in the band

[chorus]
Waiting for a response
I cannot give
I don't have the answer
To any of your questions
Over again
Your blinding reflection
In the corner of my eye
We all want to see a light
We all want to see

[bridge]
When you've so much to say
Of so much that you do
Take your elevations
And apply them to you
Cause I'm sitting here
Not quite sure what to do
But I see what you're doing
From my point of view

And the bitter frustration
When I simply can't find
Where love and truth coincide
Don't want to weigh down your heart
Don't want to lift up your pride

"Wake The Dead"

Moving ahead full steam
And chasing dreams
I'm wide awake, or so it seems
I'm underneath it
Barely breathing
Now

Giving it up in pieces
But never seamless
Subtracting lines, from old diseases
And you're the only one
Who sees this
Now

[chorus]
I'm holding on by a thread now
My foot is in the grave
So could you wake the dead now
I am unafraid
Cause you're never far away from me
I know you'll set me free

Into the light you lead me
I see you gleaming
I fall but I know, you'll never leave me
So I can stop
This hopeless feeling
Here

[chorus]
I'm holding on by a thread now
My foot is in the grave
So could you wake the dead now
I am unafraid
Cause you're never far away from me
I know you'll set me free

My heart grows cold and freezes
The slope increases
My bones are worn
From folded creases
This sea is ceaseless
Oh, could you free this
I'm a wreck, so help me Jesus
Cause you are the only one
Who sees this
Now

I'm holding on by a thread now
But even miles away, nothing can separate
Me from your love
You'll never leave me
Always redeeming
With your love
Your love
