1.	The Wall 03:55	lyrics	buy track
There it is again That wall that seems to block my path And keep me from where I know I should be going I hear that voice inside Telling me to square my shoulders, put my fingers down And tear a hole right through that mother But life keeps on happening And I drift back on whispers of mediocrity And that wall that was right in front of me Grows taller and darker Will I ever be free? Here I go again Questioning if I have the right to want more When on the surface so much has already been given But there’s that voice inside The one that knows I was meant for more Than just some ordinary life in an ordinary place But life keeps on happening And I drift back on whispers of mediocrity And that wall that was right in front of me Grows taller and darker Will I ever be free? And life keeps on happening But I can’t listen to whispers of mediocrity And that wall that’s right in front of me Doesn’t feel so scary now It’s all there for the taking Don’t you see? So I’ll climb Until my fingers bleed and I’m numb from the pain Cause it’s time For me to scale my wall And finally be free And finally be free
2.	Don't Leave 04:25	lyrics	buy track
I've been waiting to meet you for a good long while now But I know from the tone and the murmur of words that my time may be running out So give me a chance let me catch my breath and get my sea legs underneath me I'll be running your way before you can say it's never ever going to come to be Don't you dare underestimate me I have power in my tiny frame I can feel your despair from across the miles But give me chance and you'll love me even though you don't even know my name Don't leave, I'm not there yet Don't leave, I'm not there yet Don't leave me out here You're not alone now Don't make me cry now Just open the door now You gotta try and defy, it's hello not goodbye And I promise I'll never let you despair again My anticipation grows stronger with every passing day My strength and passion build as your resolve continues to dissipate I get a little scared inside because I know the clock is ticking You won't give in without me in your arms, it's simply a matter of fate Don't you dare underestimate me Feel my power, I'm a tiny beast I can feel your love from across the miles So give me a chance and you'll hold my hand and all our fears will be released Don't leave, I'm not there yet Don't leave, I'm not there yet Don't leave me out here You're not alone now Don't make me cry now Just open the door now You gotta try and defy, it's hello not goodbye And I promise I'll never let you despair again Don't leave, I'm not there yet Don't leave, I'm not there yet Don't leave me out here You're not alone now Don't make me cry now Just open the door now You gotta try and defy, it's hello not goodbye And I'll promise you all the love until the very end
3.	Losing My Senses 05:16	lyrics	buy track
Isolated with my thoughts, decompensating My mind is racing, my heart is pacing Don't know how I ended up in this situation But I can't get out, and no one is coming to save me Feel like the walls are closing in on me Feel like my chest is tightening, and I can't breathe This isolation ain't the only thing that wants to kill me And I just don't see any shortcuts to getting free Losing my senses Almost defenseless Losing my senses Resistance is pointless Losing my senses My consequences The fever and delusion are building in my brain Need all the strength I have to see the ones I love again Time, time, time, in a sort of runic rhyme The minutes ticking by are mocking me The minutes ticking by are haunting me Need to see a finish line to keep from going crazy The fever and delusion are building in my brain Need all the strength I have to see the ones I love again Can't wait to embrace the ones I love again Losing my senses Almost defenseless Losing my senses Resistance is pointless Losing my senses My consequences Losing my senses, Losing my senses Almost defenseless, Almost defenseless Losing my senses, Losing my senses Resistance is pointless, Resistance is pointless Losing my senses, Losing my senses My consequences
4.	Drink Yourself Sober 05:33	lyrics	buy track
I’ve worked on you so long And you don’t even know I exist I’m that prideful voice in your head The one you can never resist There’s no money to be made Without conflict being sown So I’ll raise your pulse By showing you what’s wrong What to love or hate Who to defend or attack Lay you in a comfy bed Of ideologies that wrap you like a blanket Surround you with friends who blindly parrot what you say Listen for every verbal and written seed Arrive with a solution you didn’t even know you’d need I become your everything Your thoughts and hopes and dreams And alienating you just the same And alienating you just the same Drink yourself sober Sip the Koolaid down until it all rings true Misinformation indoctrination Drink yourself sober I made it just for you Drink yourself sober Sip the Koolaid down until it all rings true Misinformation indoctrination Drink yourself sober Ever wonder why you feel so devoid of purpose? When was the last time that you opened your mind to another side? Just a sip at a time of the poison Which became all the meaning you thought you knew you needed A hare in a snare A nightmare affair Drink yourself sober Sip the Koolaid down until it all rings true Misinformation indoctrination Drink yourself sober Drink yourself sober, sober Sip the Koolaid down until it all rings true Misinformation indoctrination Drink yourself sober I’ve come for all of you
5.	Happy 03:20	lyrics	buy track
All too easy to fall in the trap that the good life seems to have in store Searched so long for my happiness and I’m always afraid to want more Cause I know there’s that nasty little demon always chirping on my shoulder This happiness can’t belong to you, it’ll go as it always has before But then I see your smiling faces and remember how we got here A lot of love, a lot of work, and a lot of perseverance Ain’t no nasty little mental devil gonna rain on our sunny days ahead I’m happy, and won’t allow myself to be waiting on the alternative Always seemed for years like my happiness was barely out of touch To get so close and be smacked back down eventually gets to be too much So now that we’ve chipped away and our lives feel so much easier Hard to resist that voice inside saying it just means now the slope down is steeper But then I see your smiling faces and remember how we got here A lot of love, a lot of work, and a lot of perseverance Ain’t no nasty little mental devil gonna rain on our sunny days ahead I’m happy, and won’t allow myself to be waiting on the alternative Day by day I’m convincing myself to believe that we’re worth it The little voice in the back of my head is quieter than it’s ever been The one thing I know is we have to push ourselves beyond these fears Ain’t no nasty little mental devil gonna rain on our sunny days ahead I’m happy
6.	Visibility Near Zero 05:27	lyrics	buy track
From the window I watched you walk into the water It took me a second to comprehend It was cold outside We had just had a little fight My mind started screaming an alarm I ran down the stairs and to the back door My thoughts racing, trying to understand Looking left and looking right Wind, salt, and sand stinging my eyes Visibility near zero With each minute more of my hope dies I pushed myself faster across the sand Hope and pain flooding my senses Where are you? Why did you go? What are you thinking? Can this really be a path you choose When you have so much more to lose? Are you really gone? Or in the end could this just be a ruse? Did you end it all to protect her? Or is this all about you? If this is slight of hand and you've disappeared I can't understand or agree I know that you're a woman of conviction But this feels like a lack of vision The ocean begins to churn As the winds continue to increase Hope further fades As the building storm peaks Why! Why! Why! This thought screams again and again Things were always complicated But this was never supposed to end in this way My brain is scrambling to figure this out But all I am filled with is doubt

8.	Splinter In My Brain 03:54	lyrics
Failure of focus Distractions all seem magnified Your lips keep on moving Even though my face suggests you should do otherwise A stubbed and bloody toe Fast lane driving slow You’re killing me, you know? My armrest is not for you Mouth open while you chew You’re killing me, it’s true You’re a splinter in my brain Irritation’s your domain You’re a splinter in my brain I’m going insane You’re a splinter in my brain My battery is fully drained You’re a splinter in my brain Sorry but I just can’t today Can’t you see the look on my face? Your self awareness is a disgrace I would do anything to get out of this place A chewed off angry hangnail Check’s still in the mail Autocorrect fuckin fail A quick traffic light An inside bloody cheek bite It’s killing me, alright You’re a splinter in my brain Irritation’s your domain You’re a splinter in my brain I’m going insane You’re a splinter in my brain My battery is fully drained You’re a splinter in my brain
9.	Take A Breath 05:02	lyrics
Relax, take a breath Stop to catch the world spinning by Have a drink, take a breath Enjoy that brief moment of quiet Close your eyes, take a breath Let your mind drift to another place Let it go, take a breath Allow yourself a moment of grace Days float by Mind takes flight Recharge life Take a walk, take a breath Spin the songs that drive you on Pop a cork, take a breath Celebrate the worries gone Sear a steak, take a breath Take it in under moonlit sky Light a fire, take a breath Chase the Paso chill away Days float by Mind takes flight Recharge life Let the sense of place wash over you Seek the inner spaces of your mind Witness simple beauty all around Let your feet find the ground again Relax, take a breath Stop to catch the world spinning by Have a drink, take a breath Enjoy that brief moment of quiet Close your eyes, take a breath Let your mind drift to another place Let it go, take a breath Allow yourself a moment of grace Days float by Mind takes flight Recharge life
