Guardian 04:56
GUARDIAN Give me purpose, give me trouble I can take care of myself Give me quarter in the rubble Save your love and save yourself When the pressure pops the windows And the roof is ripped away In the storm I will be standing Shouting curses at the thunder when I pray Feign surprise, hide your eyes Will you remember me Do you brandish me Do you sacrifice me Do you celebrate me Do you conceal me Never back away from daylight Don't deny the truth you see Look me in the eye one last time The hand of fate beckons me When the angels die at midnight And the lightening screams with rage Point to where your fear is hiding Separate your soul from the violence that I wage

Messenger 05:20
MESSENGER A mob is making noise outside A promise made, no need to hide We’re friends today Stand tall, salute the flag My uniform is a tattered rag I stand away You see ships arrive from far away You try to stay alive, send them away I am a messenger I am not alone See the woman in her rags A metal cart with all her bags And you turn away I saw a shadow in the glass And heard a scream that didn’t last You laughed it all away The edge is sharpened now, so cut away Our eyes stare at the ground, all led astray But, I am a messenger And I am not alone Touch me, watch me Touch me, watch me Disappear Show me, tell me Show me, tell me What you hear I am a messenger And I am not alone I am a messenger And I am not alone

Nowhere 05:00
NOWHERE Nowhere to turn Nowhere to hide this time No words to say No verse, no prayers, no rhyme. Nowhere to go That I haven’t left behind I want to be alone A place no one can find Everywhere I look I see Shadows stare back at me And I know I’m never going to be the same Nowhere to pin The medals that I’ve won Nowhere to kneel Repent the sins that I’ve done Nowhere to send The ghosts that live in my mind Nowhere to search For clues that I can’t find I leave behind A restless mind Pay the price Nothing’s free The path ahead With memories fled Eyes are open But I can’t see Nowhere to move Don’t want to leave a trace Don’t recognize my own eyes On my face Nowhere to turn I can’t breathe in this place Nowhere to run I can’t lose this race Everywhere I look I see Shadows stare back at me And I know I’m never going to be the same

Feel 03:37
FEEL Seeing shades of light I never saw before Bright and shining in my eyes Dark and dreary don’t surround me anymore Satisfaction in a radiant sunrise I hear a symphony in every passing breeze A rhythm playing in the wind Scattered songs and tones and random melodies A new beat for my heart, a heart that wants to mend Do you feel This thing that I feel for you Do you feel This thing that I feel for you Private hopes and horoscopes I wonder if you’re reading my mind The compass spins around again Are we who we’re trying to find Do you feel This thing that I feel for you Do you feel This thing that I feel for you Do you feel the connection When you look in my direction Can you see a possibility come true Am I someone that you mention Do we share the same intention Are my crazy wishes reaching you Do you feel This thing that I feel for you Do you feel This thing that I feel for you
