“Left To Save”
Wake to disaster / Bricks erode, but seeds grow much faster / The rising sun beyond the horizon / Where’s the hope we’ve all had our eyes on? / Spears will shake, shields will splinter / Warmth leaves our souls like hands in the winter / Learn from the past but live for tomorrow / How much more time do we have to borrow? / When the light slips away / In the night through violent waves / Better days are what we crave / Tell me what is left to save / Sing us a song that saves your life / Words cut deep like the sharpest knife / When you’re pushed to the dark / Search inside, ignite the spark / Wash away the grief, wash away the pain / Only time will tell what will remain / Keep your head above, sinking in the water / Following these steps calling out, "dear father" / When the light slips away / In the night through violent waves / Better days are what we crave / Tell me what is left to save / I see the light straight ahead / Now that darkness has finally fled / Better days are on their way / Let me show you / What is left to save

“Hell Gate Lottery”
Most vulnerable I’ve ever been, my existence is your burden / I’m drowning in doubts that fill your head, trade my love for resent instead / We had a chance to see the world / Touch the sky, shake the earth below / I had lightning in a bottle, you chase storms you’ll never catch / Discard the life you never wanted, on this bridge while you hold the match / I’m just a frog in boiling water, here for a meal but I’m just the slaughter / I would give you the shirt off my back / Offers of peace but you still attack / I guess I can’t blame you, it’s all the same (It’s all the same) / How many years ’til you forget my name (Forget my name) / I had lightning in a bottle, you chase storms you’ll never catch / Discard the life you never wanted, on this bridge while you hold the match / I had lightning in a bottle, you ran off to chase the storm

“Blind”
In the land of the blind, faith dissipates / When seeing’s believing, the soul is erased / Your eyes can deceive you and lead you astray, let go of your conscience or lay it to waste / Something burns inside of you, that carries the weight of us all / The shades have been pulled back that obstructed your view, now we must tear down the wall / Pick up the pieces, they’ve fallen apart / Piece them together like they were from the start / If nothing fits right how it did long ago, build something new and pull back on the bow / Hope is the dove that returns from the sea, holding the branch of an olive tree / Through the storm, through the ash, may mercy prevail over wrath / When the sun begins to rise / A new hope restored under brand new eyes / I’m no stranger to pain nor stranger to defeat, with every new challenge that’s laid at my feet / Pressure to pick yourself up above water, anchors you down as you trip and you falter / It’s hard to breathe in inclement weather / Senses have all now gone numb / You must be swift and light as a feather, undo the damage you’ve done / Turn out the light / Soul is my sight / With all my might / Live through the night / Turn out the light (‘Cause my eyes deceive) / Soul is my sight (Makes me believe) / With all my might (Make it to shore) / Live through the night (Peace will endure)

“Compass”
There goes my thousandth thought, another sleepless night / Obscurity and clarity wage a war, begin to fight / Grains of sand fall through the glass, another day’s begun to pass / I think I just need to breathe (I think I just need to breathe) / Seconds turn to minutes turn to hours turn to weeks / An empty piece of paper stares right back at me / Dreams may come and go, but visions last forever / A diamond in the sky guiding this endeavor / Running circles all around my mind, procrastination eats away from the inside / End the cycle, end the curse, quench the overwhelming thirst / But the bottle’s out of reach (But the bottle’s out of reach) / Devastation that I’m feeling, sick and tired of fever dreaming / How do I just stay asleep? / Say your prayers, gaze upon the stars / Stare too long, find out who you are / Dreams may come and go, but visions last forever / A diamond in the sky guiding this endeavor / I can’t see the future, I don’t know what’s next / Take the first step and you hope for the best / Your heart is a compass, your mind is a map / Every step taken forward just bridges the gap
