I feel it closer than the demon on my back
I feel you closer than tomorrow
But it slips the silver through the slackened hand
And It flows where I can’t follow
So am I alone, or just blind?
Is there a point to having these eyes?
All that they see are the things
That don’t make me want to sing anymore
Shut it up with a smile
And the ghost of a God every once in a while
Oh my God did you go
From this old ghost story?
Berated lately, I’ve become accustomed to my pride:
And It’s a throne for none that listen
And I shoot the breeze to ease the doubt within my eyes
But you’re the target that I’m missing
There is a void within humanity
The void of Providence and pleasure
We stake our claim to this insanity:
That all we want is in the latter
Put it down
So am I alone, or just blind?
Is there a point to having these eyes?
All that they see are the things
That don’t make me want to sing anymore
Shut it up with a smile
And the ghost of a God every once in a while
Oh my God did you go
From this old ghost story?
But I see you closer than the mirror in my mind
I feel it closer than my failure
And I’m empty, I’m empty, oh I am
I’m sick of being my own savior

Who do you think you are? Who do you believe?
When despair on carousels is running round our needs?
Shielded from the violence, silenced on your phone
I’m Keeping all at arm’s length. Think I’ll stay at home
It’s nothing for us. It’s all that I erase
So we’ll ignore it till we fade away
Communion wants to haunt me and whispers round the walls
So we just learned evasion and withering withdrawals
Image and perception, when honored on their own
Are blurring masterpieces that now we’ll never know
They’re nothing for us. It’s all that we erase
So we’ll ignore it till we fade away
It’s nothing for us, it’s all that I erase
So we’ll just ignore it until we,
Nothing for us, It’s all that I erase
So we’ll just, we’ll just ignore it baby
Until we fade away

Pull

What light through yonder window breaks? Idealist image of my fate
Oh sun and moon and God do swoon to see her face
Until I find another just as well to fill her place
In your sentimental stomach you feel the steady pull
So you’ll take your fill of beauty but you’ll never be made full
The scales tip and lean to me; the realist instinct of retreat
Cause my love for you is half a truth surrounded by myself
Your body bears the image of my maker and my hell
She pulls me under my own façade
At my sentimental summit I feel the steady pull
Into a lusting prone to plummet to the worst inside my soul
Vicarious narcissism is the new romance
Cause if it looks good and it feels good we don’t mind the circumstance and lies
It’s the only fun we have, the only meaning in our heads
The only thing that ever satiates the suction of our selves
But when two black holes embrace what is the fate that they will face?
And so I love like nothing mattered but the feeling guaranteed to go away
She pulls me under my own façade

Did it break your heart? When you lost your love
Did you shake your fist at God above?
Ask me for the truth, I gave it to a friend
And buried it with notions of a graceful dead end
And It feels so strange to be here
It feels so strange to know
What's happening in your heart now
I'll go, I'll go and do away with my notions
I'll go, I'll go if you want me gone
If you want me gone
Well you're looking pretty small with your feet above your head
Did you know that life would be found in death?
Oh no, don’t ask me for the truth, cause I gave it to my friend
And then he buried it with notions, oh we buried it with him.
And It feels so strange to be here
It feels so strange to know
What's happening in your heart right now
So I'll go, I'll go and do away with my notions
I'll go, I'll go if you want me gone
If you want me gone
It feels so strange to be here
And It feels so strange to know
What's happening in your heart right now
I'll go, I'll go and do away with my notions
I'll go, I'll go if you want me gone
I'll go, I'll go if you want me gone
If you want me (gone)

Defeat taught me everything I know
Weakness is a wound I won’t outgrow
Failure is the clock I am wound to
But this ticking time bomb won’t do what it’s bound to
Cause I’m going nowhere
But you’re calling me there
Lonely is a self-proclaiming preacher
Who was I to make me your measure?
Able as an atheistic Jesus
All my temples crumble into pieces
Cause I’m going nowhere
But you’re calling me there
If scaring the hell out of me
Is letting heaven in
Then may I be terrified
By my own emptiness
Cause I’m going nowhere
But you’re calling me there

Push

So we move against the earth
So we beat against our veins
And we cover all our worth
In the garments of our pain
As we plough along the soil
Push against the leaden sky
Fraught with failure is our toil
Till the day the seed will die
So hold my hand, sure and steady as you can
Where I go pulses still and sleep is slow
Hold my hand, sure and steady as you can
Where I go pulses still and sleep is slow
But when we wake again we’ll know
I heard it once in brittle words
Of everything made new and whole
So I’ll keep tilling till I’ve learned
Our hope is growing ‘neath the cold
But I just feel so cold
Hold my hand, sure and steady as you can
Where I go pulses still and sleep is slow
Hold my hand, sure and steady as you can
Where I go pulses still and sleep is slow
But when we wake again we’ll know

If there’s something that you want
If there's something that you need
You know I’m breaking at the thought
Break my bones and enemies
But you never never get back
Anything you need
But you'll never never get back
Everything you need
If there’s something that you see
If there’s something that you know
You know I’m breaking at the seams
Oh you know I’m losing all control
But you never never get back
Anything you need
But you're never gonna get back
Everything you need
You'll never get it
No you'll never get back what you need now
No you're never gonna get back what you need now
But you never gonna get back
Anything you need
No you're never gonna get back
Everything you need

Rise

Oh I never saw it coming
Oh I never saw it coming
Blades of grass were knives beneath our feet
And ghosts were all we ever seemed to be
But brightly came our memories to meet
these unaware and unforgiving feelings
I always thought that heaven would be mine
Now maybe it’s not quite that black and white
Cause I’ve always loved the idea of love
Much more than the reality that comes
Oh I never saw it coming
Oh I never saw it coming
Now I can’t help this feeling as I rise
That maybe heaven’s higher than the sky
And maybe there’s no place for you and I
Till I’m okay with giving up the fight
Oh I'm giving up
And I never saw it coming
Oh I never saw it coming
I never saw it coming
Oh you know, I never saw it
No I never saw it coming
I never saw it, I never saw it
I never saw it, but I’m coming home tonight

(Empty Space)
03:36

Endless lines of houses sit
Across this plaid rigid rift
Of people living counterfeited lives
Lonely little sounds of feet
Across these safely lifeless streets
No neighbor greets me when I lift my eyes
And all I see, are the ways that I cannot make it right
So this is how it feels when we whisper you’re not real
When your arms are open wide but we will not lift our eyes
Oh I'll always want your grace if it comes with a pretty face
Oh I'll always need your grace even if you’re only empty space
My love we linger much too long
By windows with the curtains drawn
Imagining we’re on the other side
But who are we that we could know
That we could be loved even so
But fear would leave the best of us behind
And all we see, are the ways that we cannot make it right
And all I see, is the distance between you and I
So this is how it feels when we whisper you’re not real
When your arms are open wide but we will not lift our eyes
Oh we'll always want your grace if it comes with a pretty face
Oh and I'll always need your grace even if you’re only empty space
