"Unconditional"

We set our limitations
A list of rules for our relations
When we're crying out for love
But we won't give it free of charge
We see the need

But we've been set up a stance
That love depends on the circumstance
And I won't if they won't love me
But that never seems to be
So we keep waiting

So what does it mean
To love unconditionally
Undeserved, selfless serving
Yeah, could it be
To set the rules aside
To let our routines die
To meet each other's eyes
In all our insecurities

Am I going through the motions
Come on, give me some devotion
To something more than me
Cause I've been drowning in my sleep

From all the self-directed questions
Overthinking, second guessing
I just want to be a fire
That consumes like you consume me

So what does it mean
To love unconditionally
Undeserved, selfless serving
Yeah, could it be
To set the rules aside
To let our routines die
To meet each other's eyes
In all our insecurities

I heard it said that love doesn't count
If you give it to the ones who give it out
That the ones who hate are the ones who need
The ones who betray your trust and deceive
Who knock you down just to see you fall
With a desperate heart beating at the heart of it all
Don't be blinded by the fury
Coming from their side
Ignore the mask of hate
And love the person that's behind

So what does it mean
To love unconditionally
Undeserved, selfless serving
Yeah, could it be
To set the rules aside
To let our routines die
To meet each other's eyes
In all our insecurities
Yeah, in all our imperfections
We're sharing the disease

"The Disconnect"

How long will I sit with apathy
Before I up and run
How long till I sit with apathy
Till it's all that I become

Cause I won't move and I won't budge
I say, get me on my feet
No I won't move and I won't budge
Until somebody, till somebody

Moves me
I'm always losing
Little parts of me
As I wait out the storm
That is this life
While I stay inside
And lose the best of me
That I could never be

How long will I stick with hypocrisy
Before it always stays
Low long till I stick with hypocrisy
Until I never want to change

Cause I won't move and I won't budge
I say, get me on my feet
No I won't move and I won't budge
Until somebody, till somebody

Moves me
I'm always losing
Little parts of me
As I wait out the storm
That is this life
While I stay behind
And lose the best of me
That I could never be
Because I won't let me

Let it connect, let it connect
The hopes and dreams I've left unchecked
The disconnect, the disconnect
Between what I did and what I said
It never ends, it never ends
Every day it's a war over again
To keep moving

Moving
I'm always losing
Little parts of me
And what I could be here
In this life
While I sit and hide
And lose the best of me
I know that I could be
I don't want to miss out
On that opportunity

"Autumn Leaves"

Break me, don't break me
See I'm so fragile, so stubborn, so strong
Quaking, or am I just shaking
Fighting to be on the top for so long

When I am just a leaf on the wind
I ascend, and descend
I am caught in the current
I can't even see
When I am withered and cracked
Broken off from the stem
Being stepped on again
I just struggle to be

Save me, don't save me
I'll push you away, though I say that I don't
While the world's caving, still behaving
Unafraid even though I've lost hope
It makes no sense

I'm just a leaf on the wind
I ascend, and descend
I am caught in the current
I can't even see
When I am withered and cracked
Broken off from the stem
Being stepped on again
I just struggle to be

I struggle to be
Above it all, standing tall
On my own two crippled feet
I stumble and fall
While I walk in my own defeat
But I'll still stay cemented
Not grounded, but welded
To the concrete that is my pride
Oh, who am I?
Oh, who am I?

I'm just a leaf on the wind
I ascend, and descend
As I'm caught in the current
I can't even see
But I'll fight you again and again
Till I bleed
As I cry out for mercy

"Seeing My Own"

What the hell is faith
I ask myself
Is it a beeline straight to a wall
Without any second guesses at all

Cause my divine appointments
And brief enjoyments
Always felt so compromised
Everything I follow always leaves me blind

So I lie here like a stone
In a cold and empty field
I always felt I was alone
I always felt there's nothing real
Give me something to hold onto
Give me anything at all
Cause I'm tired of being rejected
The cornerstone of a broken wall

I feel so insecure
Am I the only one
I try to put on a face but it fades
And all my confidence gives way

The second that I question
The second that I think
The moment that I stop to breath
It all comes rushing back to me

And I can't live like I know
When I don't, no I just don't
Not gonna put on a show
No I won't, no I won't

So I lie here like a stone
In a cold and empty field
I always felt I was alone
I always felt there's nothing real
Give me something to hold onto
Give me anything at all
Cause I'm tired of being misdirected
Every time I hear a call

And all their hypocrisy
And all this dead in me
Yeah, nothing can sustain
No it all just makes me bleed
And all I see that's right
Always shrouded in deceit
Yeah, nothing can sustain
Tell me, what'll sustain me?

So I lie here all alone
Clutching fists and letting go
Grasping for the air, but I know
I know, I know
So I pick myself back up
And continue down the road
Oh tell me, just how long it goes
Tell me how long will this go?

"Binary"

My generation was raised in the dark
Behind a backlit screen
Our eyes were glued to the pictures we saw
But little did we know

The recreation would become dependence
The very air we breath
Would be clouded with signals and satellite sounds
Till we're speaking 1's and 0's too

[chorus]
How did they live
How did they live
How did they live before us
We're singing
How did they live
How did they live without this

Convenience claimed the last of our lives
To save an hour or two
We're wasting more time with all of this free time
Than we ever could have used

[chorus]
How did they live
How did they live
How did they live before us
We're singing
How did they live
How did they live without this

Can't change the past
So let's change the course
Make a dead sprint through
These open doors
We can't change the past
So let's change our course
Make a dead sprint through
These open doors

[chorus]
How did they live
How did they live
How did they live before us
How did they live
How did they live
How did they live before us

"Above And Abyss"

My heart is for my weakness
My darkness and my light
And always reaching for it
Just hoping I do right

It breaks me and it builds me
It sets my world on fire
Burning away to clean the slate
As I'm burning with desire

Above
Would you take me higher
Below
Could you quench this fire
Hold on
To that perfect center
As you put it back together

My love is my forgiveness
The kind that I've been shown
I imagine what I might be
If I had never known

And failure is my victory
Just like it was back then
So you could come and lift me
From the pit I've dug again

Above
Would you take me higher
Below
Could you quench this fire
Hold on
To that perfect center
As you put me back together
As you put me back together

The right path
Might not be this very road
Though the signs all look the same
Sometimes, the journey
Is traveling back from where you came

Pull back the line, pull back the line
I'll be just fine
Pull back the line, pull back the line

"Let Me Down"

I'm sorry
That I'm not up to par
No I'm not a superstar just yet
And yeah
It takes a little time
For me to fall in line, I forget
That today
Is a baby step away
From a place called yesterday, and I bet
That you were here before
Overwhelmed and unsure
Overworked, and underscored

And I didn't mean to make your life any harder
I'm just treading through uncharted water
Not as easy as it seems when you're not there now
But if you'd take a step back and just settle down

I'm aching
I'm feeling so stuck
Like I wanna give up right here
But no
I won't just back away
Though the pain makes everything unclear
It's a test
That I have yet to pass
And I won't give up and mask my fear
Though I crawl
Through the thick of it all
It's not a flight but a fall, my dear

And I didn't mean to make your life any harder
I'm just treading through uncharted water
Not as easy as it seems when you're not there now
But if you'd take a step back and just let me down

Let me down
The pain, I'm not afraid to embrace it now
Down, down
Would you let me down

"Pocket Smile"

I think my heart just broke
Ooooh, so slightly
When I heard those words you said
All the chains you've taken on
Are likely
Why inside you feel so dead

When you could be free

Oh, when you smile you make the night
Shine brightly
Like the stars above your head
Shame to think you might spend your
Life fighting
To keep a frown instead

When you could be free
From all the negativity
I know you've got it inside
So why do you cling so dearly
When you've got such beauty

There's a part of me inside
That wants to
Look you in the eyes
To tell you what I see
And maybe see if it's something
You recognize

But I'm afraid just like
I've always been
No, I can't spit out the truth
Maybe this new transition
Could spark the conditions
To somehow tell you

That you could be free
From all the negativity
I know you've got it inside
So why do you cling so dearly
To what you don't need, clearly
When you've got such beauty

I think my heart just broke
Oooh, so slightly
When I heard the words you said

When you've got such beauty

"Nothing More"

Love
Just like the brightest beam
It comes
Sheds light on the unseen
It stuns
Us in our crooked tracks

Love
Just like a steady stream
It runs
The very breath that fills
These lungs
And I don't want to look back

So we hide away
So we shy away
And act like we don't need a single thing
We build a cage of pride
That eats away inside
To nothing

But I need more
I need more
Than a passing glance
That feels just like a chore
We need more
Don't wanna be ignored
We fight cause we're used to nothing more

Numb
Just one of the things
I've become
Trying so hard to please
Everyone
And the way they want to be

So dumb
The days I've wasted just
For fun
To sit inside and wait out
The sun
Still further away from me

But I need more
I need more
Than a passing glance
That feels just like a chore
We need more
Don't wanna be ignored
We fight cause we're used to nothing more

Than what we've been shown
We take it even though it's fake it's
Better than being all alone

But I need more
I need more
Than a passing glance
That feels just like a chore
We need more
Don't wanna be ignored
We fight cause we're used to nothing more
I fight because I'm used to nothing more
I hide because I'm used to nothing more
