Warmth
02:38
|

|
visions of the future,
a glimpse into the past.
the child’s eye imagines shadows
burned into their steps
will healing ever come
to what we cannot grieve?
an ending to paralysis
brave enough to dream.
pieces of this world will be
used to build the next
in this war we hold a weapon;
a love they’ll never comprehend.
flowers wilting. setting sun.
warmth finds its way to me
an ending to paralysis.
brave enough
to dream

Will to Change
02:02
|
|||
|
disconnection. loss of feeling
the simple price to be a man
to fit within the lines they’ve drawn
i kill the joy i once had
anesthetic rite of passage
ignore the feeling to fit the mold
step out from the shadows now
trade apathy for something more
I’m caught between
who i was and who i want to be
ill take the steps
to reconnect
find the will to change
ill take a stand
reach out my hands
through the will to change

Spirit
01:20
|
|||
|
deny the preconception
rejection of the numbing agent.
ripping off the callous,
leaves a promise held so close
righteous indignation.
this value driven, burst of passion.
no more hesitation,
spirit on display.
will you let this fire die?
let it all just go to waste?
the words that you hold close,
do you remember what they mean?
do you feel alive? can i say the same?
the words that you hold close. remember what they mean

Reasons to Remember
02:11
|
|||
|
a reason to remember you
cracks between
is how the light shines through
leaves will change
warmth will fade
what will come to take its place?
i can make the choice to see
the darkness or a light
we can make this promise to ourselves
to dance before we calcify
sing before we sleep
welcoming the conflict between
nothingness and grief
sound of peace moves slowly
upon words so softly spoken
whispered voices bring me back
if only for a moment
as you speak i watch the words
drift beyond my reach
underneath uncertainty
joy to be released

Chasing Light
02:13
|
|||
|
hanging by a single thread
which side of life will pull me in?
answers among the stars,
whispered between trees.
the essence of each moment,
is still waiting to be seen.
life subdued,
distilled, and destroyed.
a figure of this broken life still stands.
wandering,
tracing time.
in search of meaning, chasing light.
it all comes back to me to break this trance.
so finally you hear a song.
thousandfold, all at once.
colors flash, a blinding light.
dancing towards a joyous life.
and darkness falls,
like shattered pieces
soon to break this trance

It’s hard to pick a favorite track on this album, the opener rips, the samples rip, the two slow interlude songs are freaking good too, solid release that’ll be spun a lot and rise to the top of many year end lists.
