Nonbelievers

Born from the words of a ghost with no name
They’ve kept us in the dark for too long
Now our hearts are a flame
I can feel the winds changing
I know you do too
By the spark of ambition
Our lives will burn true
Let’s leave this town in the dust
Before our souls start to rust and decay
When it’s my turn to leave
Will tell me to go or stay?
Set your whole life ablaze
In spite of everything
Give yourself a brand new name
Cuz it never meant anything
I know there’s still time
If you’re so inclined
Cover your eyes and let yourself fall
Right into the flames
Dulled and defeated, your edges grew smooth
Like the glimmer of a Phoenix
And the person I knew
Embrace your dissidence
Carry me through
I admired your spirit
Now I’m lost without you
Let’s give this one last try
Block out the voice from the sky
Even if they try to tell us
There’s no point in yelling
We’ll scream out til our bodies die
Set your whole life ablaze
In spite of everything
Give yourself a brand new name
Cuz it never meant anything
I know there’s still time
If you’re so inclined
Cover your eyes and let yourself fall
Right into the flames
We may be broken
We may be lost
But I’m still reaching
No matter the cost
Your fire's dying
But I see the dawn
Will you just give in or
Will you be a nonbeliever?
Set your whole life ablaze
In spite of everything
Give yourself a brand new name
Cuz it never meant anything
I know there’s still time
If you’re so inclined
Cover your eyes and let yourself fall
Right into the flames
It’s a lie that you’re living
These walls are long gone
Will you just give in or
Will you be a nonbeliever?

Disarray

Something has broken
A heart has been betrayed
I need to feel something I know is true
Your voice is an ocean
And I’m a castaway
Never really standing next to you
And every word I say is just another mistake
Blaming me for every single promise you break
Searching for a light but then I can’t make it stay
And when I think it’s over
It’s just starting again
Living in disarray
I’m not here today
Each time I dream about tomorrow
I find I’m missing yesterday
Despite all of my people
Standing right by my side
My head is in a nightmare
And I'm running out of time
Every single second
Every breath I take
Might just lead to somewhere I once knew
Are you the one who’s come to help me?
Or a ghost who’s come to haunt me?
I just can’t seem to find the right way through
Everybody knows I’m waiting
But for what, I can’t explain it
How many times will I pace through the night?
I take a step in your direction
Stumbling towards acceptance
But it’s never right, never right
It’s never right
Disarray
I’m not here today
Each time I dream about tomorrow
I find I’m missing yesterday
Despite all of my people
Standing right by my side
My head is in a nightmare
And I'm running out of time
Everything
Everyone
Is spinning round and round
Anything
Anyone
Among the lost and found
Living in disarray
I’m not here today
Each time I dream tomorrow
I find I’m missing yesterday
All of my people
Right by my side
But I make the same mistakes
And I keep running into
Disarray
I’m not here today
Each time I dream about tomorrow
I find I’m missing yesterday
Despite all of my people
Standing right by my side
My head is in a nightmare
And I'm running out of time
With all of my people
Right by my side
My head is in a nightmare
And I'm running out of

Prisoner of One
04:18

He sits alone
Blocking the sun
Trapped within himself
Prisoner of one
Laughter brings him no joy
His shadow cast can only destroy
Solace in sorrow
He’ll cut you down
The forgotten child will never be found
Lost
Dreams
Echo silently
She pleads for the key
In the other side of me
Disillusioned with discipline
He drags the world behind him
Leaving a trail of mistakes in the wake
She pounds the glass but
It just leaves her bloodied and red
Hearing his voice like a hymn from the dead
And it says
Swallow your secrets
Don’t say a word
Keep your mouth shut before someone gets hurt
Lost
Dreams
Echo silently
She pleads for the other side of me
But if I could
Stop this destruction
And follow my heart
I’d bring you the moon
And I’d give you the stars
But eternal darkness will blacken the sun
And I’ll still be here as a prisoner of one
Cuz he lives in the spaces
Between breaths I take
And he looms in the doubt around
Each choice I make
There’s comfort in pain when it’s all that you see
So I live in a world of my own misery
When I reached for your hand
It was all too late
He’d pushed you away
When I wanted you to stay
He’s filled in the cracks
Where I watched for the sun
So I’ll still be here
As a prisoner of one

Lunar Sparkle

In the silver hour
Lakeside in reverie
A word from you
Ripples through each wave inside a memory
I can’t say that I get it
But can’t seem to forget
We’re lost in our minds but in time
We'll leave it all behind
Held down beneath the waves
By the anchors in my dreams
We stared up at the moon
While we were stranded out at sea
But I don’t wanna know if
There’s a time and place for me cuz
Drifting along with you feels like home to me
Though you’re gone
And I had to stay
I’m left with words
I always meant to say
Stars still shine
In a shipwreck sky
They prophesize one day the sun will die
But time can’t steal
Though it may try
That lunar sparkle
In your eye
Tonight
My heart’s forever midnight
For eons frozen still
Time may ebb and flow by you
But I’m held against my will
And I wish I could tell my ups from downs
How did a flicker in the darkness
Cast the shadow of a doubt?
Second-guessing echoes like I’m thinking that you lied to me
Changing everything, erase the trace of who I used to be
When I lose hope
I still see your face but it seems so far
Stars still shine
In a shipwreck sky
They prophesize one day the sun will die
But time can’t steal
Though it may try
That lunar sparkle
In your eye
What we’ve lost
And what we have
Are proof that things
Don’t go as planned
I’ll hold you close
Just for tonight
So I don’t feel
This moonless night
Stars still shine
In a shipwreck sky
They prophesize one day the sun will die
But time can’t steal
Though it may try
That lunar sparkle
In your eye
Stars still shine (What we've lost)
In a shipwreck sky (And what we have)
They prophesize one day the sun will die (Are proof that things don't go as planned)
But time can’t steal (I'll hold you close)
Though it may try (Just for tonight)
That lunar sparkle (So I don't feel)
In your eye (This moonless night)
So tell me
Can you hear this
I’m waiting
To just exist
I’ll find you
In the darkness
Don’t leave me
Starless
