Here’s Your Day To make your way In a world that’s turning faster every day You know your name But the bulb that flickers gets replaced And sure Enough The black dog takes another What a shame At least you died a hero Here’s your day To try and change A world that runs on sublimated pain But don’t lose hope Just try to send a signal when you go up in smoke Because The black dog takes another What a shame At least you died a hero Here’s your day Here's your day Your day Your day To make your way In a world that’s turning faster every day Because everybody knows We kill the ones that we need the most And sure Enough The black dog takes another What a shame At least you died a hero At least you died a hero Here's your day Your day Your day

I Don’t Believe Well life out on the road Is tough or so I’m told How fast ladders turn to crutches And I guess I’m coming home Waiting for the lights to change Waiting on a southbound train My little corner of the world Is getting smaller every day I don’t believe It makes sense, what I see It can be found, what I seek So now I know And I guess I’m coming home But wait for me I’ve just got to see What I can find On stormy seas I don’t believe It makes sense, what I see It can be found, what I seek So now I know And I guess I’m coming home Talking to a friend I won’t see again How fast crutches turn to ashes Sweet is bitter in the end But wait for me I’ve just got to see What I can find On stormy seas I don’t believe It makes sense, what I see It can be found, what I seek So now I know But I’m not coming home

Stranded 04:21
Stranded Standing among the ruins of my desire Falling from a place I thought was higher You know I guess I thought I’d meet you here But it’s never quite as close as it appears Stumbling over the finer points of this line Stretching between the worldly and divine Wondering where it falls though anymore And I can’t shake the thought I’ve seen this place before Is there a way, I don’t know Is there any other way to go? Back here again Only know where I’ve been My reckless heart made another stand Stranded alone Standing here on my own It’s a long walk back to where I began And I’m scared Of what I’ll find If I just don’t make it back this time Walking with my shadow at my side Broken, but it’s just to proud to hide Talking to myself behind my back About the places I’ve been I know I’m never at One day I hope I’ll find my memory And awaken to a different history One where maybe I’ve never seen these dashed appeals And I can escape the sun that’s always setting on my heels Is there a way, I don’t know Is there any other way to go? Back here again Only know where I’ve been My reckless heart made another stand Stranded alone Standing here on my own It’s a long walk back to where I began And I’m scared Of what I’ll find If I just don’t make it back this time Is there a way, I don’t know Is there any other way to go? Back here again Only know where I’ve been My reckless heart made another stand Stranded alone Standing here on my own It’s a long walk back to where I began And I’m scared Of what I’ll find If I just don’t make it back this time

Captured Light Captured light is meant to fade But my patience is growing thin I can’t see over my own walls ‘Cause when I fall I have to start again I know what’s hard to find Is the only thing worth the time But I know I ain’t got time I need a little peace of mind Build it up Try to hold it in Knock it down Just to start again I’m holding down these rungs Trying to climb to reach the sun Trying to keep what I know I can’t save And No matter how far I come These heights are just to fall from And the ground is just a grave Slow to burn and quick to fade Working by candle light It’s almost here I can see it now No one can see what’s not in sight Hold on tight hold on tight Hold the center from the edge Hold whatever’s there To keep me balanced on the ledge Build it up Try to hold it in Knock it down Just to start again I’m holding down these rungs Trying to climb to reach the sun Trying to keep what I know I can’t save And No matter how far I come These heights are just to fall from And the ground is just a grave Don’t break the silence now Can’t you hear me calling out Don’t break the silence now All this light is much too loud I’m holding down these rungs Trying to climb to reach the sun Trying to keep what I know I can’t save And No matter how far I come These heights are just to fall from And the ground is just a grave
