Tracklist: 01. The Waters Rising [Verse 1] I'm drowning in your sorrow In the belly of your cravings In the darkness of your despair I float face down [Refrain] (You) Can you take me to the ocean side? (You) Can you take me to the water's edge? [Verse 2] See the devil called me here Says my name like a story Holds my blood on the tip of her tongue She pulls me down into her lust [Pre-Chorus] In the dark we're glowing We're clawing [Chorus] (You) Can you take me to the ocean side? (You) Can you take me to the water's edge? (Can you) Can you make these memories come to life, come to life? (You) And reveal what's hidden deep inside me? [Verse 3] You gave birth to this longing Along loins made of stone The light you have eaten from the sky Pitch-black, bleak and gnawing [Pre-Chorus] (She sees) She sees everything (She sees) deep inside me [Chorus] I called to the ocean side I came to the water's edge I'm sinking down to where the light's gone out I'll purge what's hidden inside [Bridge] Demented and screaming I have myself to blame Demented and screaming I have myself to blame I'm dying to get anywhere she might be I'm dying to get anywhere she might be [Chorus] I called to the ocean side I came to the water's edge We're forever We're forever We're forever in your despair [Post-Chorus] Soaking in the aftermath of what we are Soaking in the aftermath of what we are [Outro] I float Face down Waiting To be found So I float face down Waiting 02. Hearts Of Stone [Verse 1] Thick air Nose bleeds You've got rocks in your belly Dragging you around Slow gait Shadows Stumbling over yourself Slowly going blind Dying to crawl back into the womb Hoping that somewhere could feel like home [Pre-Chorus] You smile when you want to scream And you lie so hard it cracks your teeth You try everyday in vain With thorns for hands and blades for veins [Chorus] Oh, here comes the storm You've been standing in for so long Oh, oh, oh You can try to deny it You can try to fight it You'll never shed the mess you're in The mess you're in [Verse 2] Fractured jaw and bloody linen We keep trying as long as the sun is grinning You're just a stranger with vacant eyes and a hollow chest Going around leaving what you found in a bigger mess But, it all ends well It all ends well Ends well [Chorus] Oh, here comes the storm You've been standing in alone Oh, oh, oh You can try to deny it You can try to fight it You'll never shed the mess you're in No, no, no [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Oh, here comes the storm (Here comes the storm) You've been standing in alone Oh, oh, oh You can try to deny it You can try to fight it You'll never shed the mess you're in No, no, no 03. The Lighthouse [Verse 1] Press your hands together, bow your heads Upon our knees is how we'll make amends Our prayers will part the clouds Weathered by the sea and salty air Our solitude will never get us there This place must hold our faith And when the storm swells come It will put us to the test Stone hands will cast away The monsters in the mist [Chorus] It will not let us down It will not cast our hopes Along the rocky shores Of our greatest fears [Verse 2] Press your hands together, bow your heads Upon our knees is how we'll make amends Our prayers will light the night The moon behind the clouds of night's embrace Our beacon is the flame that cuts the haze This hearth of stone and might And when the storm swells come It will put us to the test (it will put us to the test) Stone hands will cast away the monsters in the mist [Chorus] It will not let us down It will not cast our hopes Along the rocky shores Of our greatest fears [Bridge] It will not let us down (It will not let us down) It will not cast our hopes (It will not cast our hopes) Along the rocky shores of our greatest fears It will bring deliverance Back into our hearts Angel of voyagers Can you hear our prayers? [Chorus] It will not let us down It will not cast our hopes Along the rocky shores Of our greatest fears 04. Red Forest Roads [Verse 1] The silence Spans a thousand miles filling the space between us Right now You only exist in my mind [Verse 2] I'm living with the echoes Of the last words you said My heart beats like a drum Full of dread, full of dread [Verse 3] I'm helpless To figure out a way to get to you Much less Find out where you go with your heart of stone when I'm left alone Oh yea I'm not sure what it takes to be a man (be a man, be a man) But I know you can, I know you can [Bridge] You're failing, I'm falling I hear the evergreens calling Take me away Take me away You tell me not to worry But I feel this darkness upon me Take me away Take me away You're failing, I'm falling I hear the evergreens calling Take me away Take me away You tell me not to worry But I feel this darkness upon me Take me away Take me away [Outro] Into the night (You tell me not to worry, but I feel this darkness upon me) Into the night (Take me away, take me away) Can you hear me? I am calling Outrunning this fear that is growing Take me away Take me away Into the night 05. The Hanging Tree [Verse 1] Living with the pictures in my head (Sometimes we forget) This place will hold for me what cannot be said (Sometimes we regret) Where only my hallowed footstep dared to tread (Sometimes we forget) Now times indifference rushes to bury them (Sometimes we regret) [Chorus] So slowly corroding aged with time This places serenity a time lapsе lie I'm inching slowly I'm out my mind And the peacе within me is a lie by design [Verse 2] Distorted memories and pictures (Sometimes we forget) These places they will remember us (Sometimes we regret) Infused deep with all our pain (Sometimes we forget) Somewhere forever pieces of us remain (Sometimes we regret) [Chorus] So slowly corroding aged with time This places serenity a time lapse lie I'm inching slowly I'm out my mind And the peace within me is a lie by design [Bridge] And I, I surrender I take back all I owe And can you tell me where time goes As it flies away from me? [Verse 3] Living with the pictures in my head (Sometimes we forget) This place will hold for me what cannot be said (Sometimes we regret) Distorted memories and pictures (Sometimes we forget) These places they will remember us (Sometimes we regret) [Outro] Hidden in plain view secrecy (Sometimes we forget) This place is haunted if you want it to be 06.

The Spring Of '21[Instrumental] 09. Just A Day [Verse 1] You could see it in my eyes The moment I walked through the door I had had another hard day And I was barely holding on In your arms I I'm defenseless In your eyes I'm Everything I want to be [Verse 2] When I was a little girl I dreamed of all I would become And broken wasn't one I ever Ever thought I'd linger on I dreamed of a man Who would love me For everything I always wanted to be [Chorus] And now it only feels, feels like I am failing And I can't stand a moment with myself And if I can't find a reason, then how could anyone? And I don't wanna bе the reason The rеason that we fail And now it only feels, feels like I am falling And I can't stand to look myself in the eyes And if I can't find the meaning, then how could anyone? And I don't wanna be the reason The reason that we fail [Bridge] I fight, I yell, I fall Back into your open arms I bend, I break, I crawl Back into your open arms I fight, I yell, I fall Back into your open arms I bend, I break, I crawl Back into your open arms [Outro] I need you My darling Without you I'm falling 10. House Of The Rising Sun [The Animals cover] There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl And God, I know, I'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Oh mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain Well, there is a house in Nеw Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been thе ruin of many a poor girl And God, I know, I'm one 11. The Shipbuilder's Son [Verse 1] Servants to the wind and the sea Builders of great sea monsters Yet they've never sailed away To see where the dark clouds go [Chorus] Yet off in the horizon Where the sunset meets the shore That’s where their souls are longing to go In hopes of so much more Their faith now long forgotten In the toil of this harsh land Their dreams lay lost and buried Under the rocks and sand (Their fathers, their fathеrs, their fathers) [Verse 2] The cool breezе mocks the men below Singing of places they'll never know A harsh wind carries away their tears As the salty air wears away the years [Chorus] Yet off into the horizon Where the sunset meets the shore That's where their souls are longing to go In hopes of so much more Their faith now long forgotten In the toil of this harsh land Their dreams lay lost and buried Under the rocks and sand [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Yet off into the horizon Where the sunset meets the shore That’s where their souls are longing to go In hopes of so much more (so much more) Their faith now long forgotten In the toil of this harsh land Their dreams lay lost and buried Under the rocks and sand
