01. Saccharine

Verse 1:

Lay upon me, stay 'til you sleep,

I'll always keep, you in my reach

watching you go, after we've grown,

I've never known, being alone,

thinking 'bout all the days that you would

talk me out of all the holes that I'd dig myself in,

all the nights when I couldn't sleep,

you stayed up by my side your patience never grew thin

Pre Chorus:

And now I wait, try to stand straight

can't turn around, pick up the pace,

I cannot drag more of this weight, more of this weight

Chorus:

Promise I will not forget,

will not regret,

journeys that came to an end,

promise I will treasure these,

old memories my friend.

And I swear I promise I will not forget,

will not regret,

journeys that came to an end,

promise I will treasure these

saccharine memories, saccharine memories

Verse 2: 

Take what you need, take it from me,

I'll always be, here for your grief

though we must go, and we must grow,

we'll always know, what we both hold 

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

Outro:

Lay upon me, stay 'til you sleep,

I'll always keep you in my reach.

Though we must go, and we must grow,

we'll always know, what we both hold.

02. Diving

Verse 1:

I'm diving through a pool of thrill and shooting at every target I see,

the bullets bouncing off right back at me,

and I should stop but I don't know what else to do,

how do I fill the void of you?

Chorus:

Take my flame, take my all, take me whole then build a wall

Lock me out, shut me down, leave me stuck with no way out,

you don't give what I give but I guess I should have known,

windows break with a toss of a stone

Verse 2:

I'm diving through a pool that's full of questions and so much uncertainty,

vulnerable to you but not for me,

I wanna have what I once had but even more,

things just aren't the same as before

Guitar Solo

(Chorus x2)

03. These Words

Verse 1:

I always felt I could see through,

but from day one couldn't read you,

things that you'd say, things that you'd do,

off the display, some things I knew,

intentions, emotion, while some were explosive

I did get the notion some words were untrue,

instead of approach them, annoy or provoke them

you let them stay frozen 'til it was past due

Chorus:

I'll take these words from you and they will haunt my past,

mistakes I've learned from you but now can't give them back 

Verse 2:

Now you're offstage and done, this show you put on for me,

sometimes I retrace it but I'll never know everything.

Is that all there was? 'Cause I could never tell

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Is that all there was? 'Cause I could never tell

Don't think it was love,

maybe once - 'til it all fell

(Chorus x2)

04. Could Have Done a Lot of Things

Verse 1:

Could have told the truth and could have told you from the start,

never hold you to your lies when I don't play my part,

feel emboldened to open a brand new dialogue,

fear of judgement brews and so my sentence never starts.

But did you see it? Did you just push it away?

Chorus:

Give me the rush, never enough,

I want too much, hold back the grudge and just embrace today

Verse 2:

Could have been upfront and told you what you didn't ask,

never could confront the present I was in the past,

don't deserve your luck but I am not a better path,

dragged you through the muck to give you worse than what you had.

But did you see it? Did you just push it away?

(Chorus)

(Instrumental Section)

Bridge:

Lately certain things been on my mind,

but break away don't let me waste your time,

shape your world to fit your paradigm,

I don't wanna see you go through this again

(Chorus)  

05. Take Control

Verse 1:

Take all these regrets, leave them on the steps,

careful you don't let them take control of you.

Watch them as they bend, transform and augment,

don't let them ascend and take control of you

Chorus:

Don't look away, never misplace,

what led you here

Don't let them stay up on you,

don't let them prey upon you (x2)

Verse 2:

Leave all those events, days of discontent,

'cause they never relent - They'll take control of you.

Watch them as they crawl, hiding in the wall,

never heed their call. They'll take control of you

(Chorus)

Outro:

Catch them as they fall,

broken as they are,

pieces of regret,

captured in a jar (x4)

06. Down You Go

Verse 1:

Enter from stage right, under the spotlight

everyone's staring this is the night,

but never forthright and lacking foresight

you're overbearing you lose the fight

Chorus:

Down and down you go

now watch the stars spin,

guessing now you know,

what it takes to win,

what a lovely show,

all of this has been

down and down you go, 

down you go

Verse 2:

When you awaken your world is shaken,

the face of doubting is often spite,

review mistakes and start to reshape them,

fog that was shrouding cleared with hindsight 

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

07. Bloody Hands

Verse 1:

Falling down the slope,

grasping to the rope,

breath is getting short,

vision it distorts,

know what must be done,

what must come undone,

not prepared to face,

the ending of this race,

oh to take it back for another chance it would never crack no way,

Verse 2:

Looking back to see,

control it had decreed,

couldn't find the ways,

to focus on the days,

blood is on the hands,

of he who breaks the band,

taken as it's toll,

was half of what was whole,

oh to take it back for another chance it would never crack no way

(Guitar Solo)

Verse 3:

Every time, every time,

every time, every time,

every time, every time I tell the truth,

it makes me wish I knew how to lie to you (x2)

08. Last Train

Verse 1:

Well I don't mind driving blind and leaving certain things behind,

but comes a point to make a choice, decisions I cannot avoid,

to let it go, this melting snow, to freeze or let the water flow?

What do I gain? Comfort in pain - these thoughts can no longer remain

Chorus:

I can't take them, train is at it's final stop. So stop.

No more hanging off the edge it's time to drop. To drop.

Verse 2:

Gone are the days of slow malaise, I'm gonna enter a new phase,

seeing clear, new frontiers, free of the weight that I dragged here,

to start anew, to break on through, to give up all I am used to,

accepting these, uncertainties, and planting gardens of new seeds

(Chorus)

Bridge:

If I don't make it out alive I'll be alright this will subside,

if I don't make it out alive some peace I'll find from all I tried

if I don't make it out alive, alive, alive, alive, alive

(Chorus x2)

09. Save me a Space

Chorus:

Take my might, my will to fight, my sanity,

but please don't take this light that shines away from me,

you're the spark, you're a firework,

shining the way for me through all that's empty and cold and so dark,

but embark on your journey to where you must go,

I won't stop you but save me a space in your heart

Verse 1:

Two weeks in I'm looking back,

oh what little time we had,

but we built us something that,

is gonna take a lot to crash,

never know where journeys end,

but we'll take it hand in hand,

watch it grow this infant plant,

will it bloom us something grand?

Fear is bound that's nothing new,

try to take a different view,

while the odds are stacking high,

look towards futures through your eyes,

picture days of harmony,

empty house of you and me,

for this image I await,

counting down until the day

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

Outro:

Don't you leave me, you must leave me (x6) 

10. Breathe

Verse 1:

Takes the grief from me, and gives me the light I see,

but she just needs to breathe and my ocean can get deep

Chorus:

I will wait for you, your space

I'll create the time it takes 

Verse 2:

I just felt so gone, misunderstood outside your arms,

but I will stop and pause, before all I've found is lost

(Chorus)

Bridge:

I look too far,

I look too far, to what can't be seen,

but for you I'll learn to breathe

(Chorus x2)
