Under the threat of tragedy and sudden pain for endless seconds your world is still
As if waking straight out from a dream
Whether frozen in time or taking time to process all thats racing stirring within overcoming all reason
In this moment of disbelief i wish i could be there for y

With this life of mine how can I help to make this
A better place for you or should I even try
As I stumble through the shadows I have created for myself
In this attempt to reconcile
The song that we once knew by heart and memory
Has all but completely slipped away
Til we

Unsustainable
The gavel to sentence many to poverty and desperation is in our hands
As we slam it down the sparks ignite
Their very lives the fuel consumed for our convenience
To clothe our backs with blood and hopelessness
With the sweat dripping from their brow
We fill

I guess it comes and it goes as we give and take we push and pull
At the end of the day i’m left standing out in the snow with so much circling through my head
The cold air will answer none of these questions running through my head
I relentlessly pose to it not a whisper not a sign

Once again we are found staring into the void screaming what is to become of this life
Hope engages fear within our restless minds as we struggle to reconnect and redefine
Guarding in our hearts these tests of time
Untangling ourselves from this crooked world with no assurance no fal

Our charted course is lost the stars are veiled but you are leading us onward
Blindly fullspeed in to the fog ahead
The darkness grows as the night consumes the dawn. your promises split over the rocks
With calloused hands we grip what weapons we have found
Kept from your eyes an

This is the place where we have to start a new page and start over
We've been digging through the dark in the cold
With nothing to show for it
What will we keep what will we leave behind

I rise to find that all my thoughts have been pushed aside by a spreading fire
Is it time that clouds my mind i watch everything i love turn to ash as i discover
Stories left untold by young lives taken before their time
Millions more of these once bright lights shimmering are poised

What with virtue i had set out to destroy my own wanting hands let it live now with the onset of its will against me i will not back down but i cannot let go
So i confine this beast to the darkness confused. contorted beyond any recognition with two faces its master both loves and disdains

Was there a first time you can remember the structure of life
It fell into chaos and standing alone you were face to face with uncertainty
Your bare feet sticking to the cold floor
The shrill raised voices echoing off rusted tin
Escalating through those burdened walls
That wa

With this dream in your heart but no place to call your home
No doors have simply opened up to you for you to choose which one to step through
But now there’s pressing time and pressure from every side wearing at your peace of mind
Should this not have been an easy choice

Can't we hear the hurting they are asking
Where is there good in this world
We've seen it in print but there's no one to show it
Will you understand you're not the only ones who suffer
And suffer we will
The cutting wind has it's way of killing hope when it's so cold
We w

In an age when so many words mean nothing we’re not just speaking for the sake of making noise
We call to broken spirits and to open minds to voices who refuse to be silenced
The hope of life on our tongues as we search for a better way
Rummaging through the wilderness and the waste
