"Fire And Brimstone"

You're so afraid of the way things appear
That you've been run over by your fear
And forgotten the heart beneath the flesh
That's been beaten down by hypocrites

Is it a monster mask
That's got you so enlightened
The questions you never ask
Behind your own devices, hiding

Wake up and see the reality
Vinegar doesn't quite match the honey
Of a love, so pure, so sweet
That doesn't sing of my own defeat
So sing of love, so pure, so sweet
The same kind of love that found me

Fire and brimstone only yield smoke
Doesn't clear the air, only makes us choke
And yeah, I know of a place called hell
A road paved from casted stones that fell

Is it a monster mask
That's got you so enlightened
The questions you never ask
Behind your own devices, hiding

Hide, hide
I won't let my darkness hide
From the sunlight
You seem to forget
That evil flaunts itself in light

Wake up and see the reality
Vinegar doesn't quite match the honey
Of a love, so pure, so sweet
That doesn't sing of my own defeat
Sing of love, so pure, so sweet
The same kind of love that found me

"Do What You Know Is Right"

Face to face
Toe to toe
With your own mistakes
Every traveled road
Past the past
But still feel the sting
The present's here too fast
And you're wondering

If you could make a change
You could make a change

Outcomes, falling down like raindrops
A deluge of decisions runs you dry
When out comes the battle cry of daylight
When your conscience and emotions don't align
Do what you know is right

Feelings fade
Like a washed out scene
Like the falling rain
Wipe the pallet clean
And start again
With eyes open wide
Don't stop listening
Drowning out your pride

If you could make a change
Would you endure the moment's pain
It hurts to break away

Outcomes, falling down like raindrops
A deluge of decisions runs you dry
When out comes the battle cry of daylight
When your feelings and your actions can't decide
Do what you know is right
Do what you know is right

You're holding on
Don't be afraid to let go
If you stay here any longer
You may drown
What you want
Isn't always gonna lead home
You're breaking slowly
The deeper in you go

Outcomes, falling down like raindrops
A million different reasons not to try
When out comes the battle cry of daylight
When your conscience and emotions don't align
When your heart's hidden agendas leave you blind
Do what you know is right

"You Could Ruin Your Life"

Melissa here I am
And you were right
You could ruin your
You could ruin your life

Every choice I made
Of left and right
Yeah I ended up
On a different side

The impact of
A path of love
When all I've left behind
Is a trail of blood
Unfinished deeds
And giving up
Unfinished faith
And giving up

I did all that I can
Tested and tried
Used my own strength
Made a divide

Every choice I made
Of left and right
My heart remains
Where I decide

The impact of
A path of love
When all I've left behind
Is a trail of blood
Unfinished deeds
And giving up
Unfinished faith
And giving up

Half of the way
You won't find yourself
Half of the way
And you're still lost
Half of the way
And you feel the fire around you
From the burning bridge
That you've yet to cross

The impact of
A life of love
A legacy
Of all the wrong I've done
Unfinished deeds
And giving up
Unfinished faith
And giving up
Unrepented sin
And giving up

"Between The Sea And Sky"

He writes about the stars in the sky
I write about the depths of the sea
He writes about the infinite void
I write about the space beneath

And we meet in sound, on common ground
We meet on the dividing line
Between the sea and sky

Old man never understands him
Yeah, I can relate
When all that we know is destruction
We just want to create

And all we want is direction
Walking flat, bending low or high
Between the sea and sky

Can't fight this
Can't fight this, fight this motion
Can't fight this
The waves of an alien ocean

And we meet in sound, on common ground
We meet on the dividing line
Between the sea and sky

"Someone For Me"

Someday, I don't know when
I don't know how it will happen
I'll find, or maybe just be blind

But I hope, in my disarray
That you'll be there to set me straight
Or that I, would be the one to open your eyes

I could try
To be everything, everything
But it's a lie
And I won't live my life pretending
Cause I know
Somewhere out there
There's someone for me

Each day, as I'm in the world
I pass, my fair share of girls
Pretty faces, oh, but in different places

And I keep, walking on
Keep a beat, to my favorite song
And sing a tune, hoping I'll find you soon

No I'm not looking for the perfect one
Just the one who compliments my imperfections

I could try
To be everything, everything
But it's a lie
And I won't live my life pretending
Cause I know
Somewhere out there
There's someone for me

To see all of me
And I can see them
We won't have to pretend
Just be who we want to be
And no, I won't get lost
Down the path of the star-crossed
It's easy
When you believe

I could try
To be everything, everything
But it's a lie
I can only be me
Cause I know
Somewhere out there
There's someone with
This same tune I share
Someone, someone for me

"No Better"

It's okay to be unsure
It's okay to feel insecure
Don't try to mask it, nobody's perfect
Everyone's scarred but nobody's worthless

I've lived my life so afraid of pain
So full of worry that it'll stay the same
But I'm pushing in, and I won't turn back
Though I'm broken now, I will end intact

So why, why do you put it on yourself
I know it's not easy to ask for help
But why, why do you put it on yourself
We can't carry this weight all by ourselves

Yeah it's easy to pretend
It's easy to hide away
Than to face what's behind the face
Let the dark see the light of day

Cause I've put up a front
That I need no one by my side
That I don't feel alone sometimes
What a foolish sense of pride

So why, why do you put it on yourself
I know it's not easy to ask for help
By why, oh why

So we could keep on behaving
Like there's nothing, there's nothing wrong
Build up these walls for nothing
Feel just like we have all along
And we're getting no better, no better
Till we see that we're no better
