Drive

Midnight drive
I'm thinking up lines
To romanticize
Five years of running away from you
I'm dreaming of your eyes
Did we ever say goodbye?
I'm all alone tonight
It's me and this dark sky
And I'm dying to say goodnight
I know that it's been a long time
And you could tell me you're far away
But minutes and miles just fall in line
Feelings don't easily fade away
On those nights when the sky turns a stale shade of gray
And you can't remember the light of day
Another day's indifferent escape
What could I ever say to you?
Could I ever find the words to change your mind?
Or would it be a waste of time?
I'm holding on too tight
Underneath bright starlight
And I'm dying to say goodnight

The Getaway
04:40
|

The miles between you and I
Are driving me out of my mind
Am I still losing touch?
Can I miss you this much?
Am I wishing?
I only wish cold winter miles
Would melt like the horizon
I want to drive all day and night
I want to see the city lights
Fade far behind
It's not like time ever stands still
Despite an unwavering will
You can't stop time
And I feel like I've been misplaced
I wish I could just see your face
You know that I hate the unknown
And I know you're scared to be alone
Some things never change
But if you were here right now
I'd make you forget fear somehow
And turn doubt into abandon

Two Weeks Notice
03:18
|
|||
You open your eyes
Once again you'll be conscious
This half you despise
It's weighing on your conscience
We're always so cautious
And now I wish I lost this
But have I gone too far?
Far too far to drop it
See that change coming
You can't, you won't stop it
I just need some time to collect myself
Son, you'll get none
Life is short
Enjoy your health
We'll be needing your time and your trust
Here's your lust
Here's your wealth
You'll take it and you'll like it
You know, it's bringing me down
Today I missed the sunlight
A blank stare and a frown
Can't you tell I know it's not right?
Soon I'll leave this
Soon I might stop giving into fright
I'll take off without notice
No, you won't get a warning
What happened and where's a helping hand this morning?
It won't take long
I'll be quickly replaced
Someone else to make haste
And to pick up the pace
And I'll be somewhere else
I'll be far from this place
I'll have a smile on my face
I'm ready to go
(Today I missed the sunlight)
Cause I won't take much longer
(Can't you tell I know it's not right?)
Nothing lasts forever
(I'll stop giving into fright)

Eclipse
03:19
|
|||
You rise up in a whisper in the back of my mind
You lay in wait there to burglarize
Growing strong for I give residence
And I know you're wrong but lose my common sense
Fruitless compromise
I found the key to your demise
I can make you disappear
If I turn away and close my eyes
Wanting much more
But aiming for less
We always acquiesce
To what feels best
And though it won't quench you
You're a man obsessed
This forfeit of reason
This sin for a season
Grant me the strength to pass this test

Disappear
03:40
|
|||
The words you write down
Occupy space in my mind
And I wish they'd disappear
I can't be held responsible
For your own unresolved actions and feelings in print
I'll carve this song in iron
And brand it in your skin
The fire singeing it in
So you'll never forget again
I didn't ask for a sign
I would have been happy living life blind and sublime
Keep it all locked up inside next time or try
Try to just recognize
The distance remaining in my eyes
Feelings lie, reason defeats them every time in time
The words you write down
Occupy space in my mind

The Answer
05:26
|
|||
Sifting through sand by the grain
Voices always sounding the same
You don't resist
They're not making much sense anyway
You're sure making headway
Searching the world far and wide
For a philosophy you can buy into
That doesn't put holes in your pride
Cause you are your own god in your mind
They say humanism is the answer to the deepest questions
Though only a shallow facade it provides
Man created God, I've heard it a hundred times
A lie like that can never bring peace of mind
They say humanism is the answer to the deepest questions
Though only a shallow facade it provides
Man created God, a shot in the dark
Regeneration in Christ is the path to true light
They say humanism is the answer to the deepest questions
Though only a shallow facade it provides
Man created God, a shot in the dark
Regeneration in Christ is the path to true sight

Downfall
03:05
|
|||
You would never recall my name
If I came up to you on the street
You'd push your way through the crowd
It wasn't always this way
And it's not so easy now
To remember the past
You know it will never last
It will never be the same again
I'm playing witness to your downfall
You're left alone against it all
How does it feel to know
That when you look into the mirror
And look away
You'll forget what kind of person you are
If it was up to you
Would have ended your life
Those many years ago
On the operating table
You would have been remembered always
But now you slowly fade away

Dawn
05:46
|
|||
Would you choose a different path
If you knew the direction
In which every pathway led?
And do you wish you could rewind
To take back something that you've done
Something that you've said?
And would you make a plan
For more than five minutes ahead?
But how much different would things be?
If we could know the outcome of each and every possibility?
Or travel back to catch ourselves before we fell?
Well I don't know if I can tell
Cause I know that knowing all the I know now
I still can't seem to bring myself around
To step across the cracks I've tripped upon
To peel back the sky, acknowledging the dawn of a new day
There's no telling what we'll see
When we chart the waters
Circumventing all of our distractions
We'll raise our sails and send our new ship out to sea
Then how much different will things be?
And though the tides of doubt can be an overpowering force
My Captain has the strength to calm the waves
He says take the helm and navigate the course
And I'll stand beside and guide you to the dawn of a new day

In the End
03:58
|
|||
This is your only life passing by each day
But what could possibly go a different way?
How many days have passed without a second thought
Without a word of doubt
Without a word
Without a doubt
What if your world came falling down tomorrow?
Who would be there to catch you when you fell?
We're not assured a breath when we're born into the world
What makes us think that we have so much time to waste?
When we grow up, we'll buy a house, marry a pretty girl
While thousands went to meet their Maker yesterday
We may think we know it all but we don't really know
Till we trust God to be there in the end
Mistakes, I've made my share
But I don't look back to see where I've been
All I can do is look ahead to find my place in life
And pray that I don't come this way again
