Dark New Day Album

You desecrate your temple with anger.
A hollow body fueled by hate
Hollow
I feel no better.
Anger
Don't look for answers
Hatred
Blown away there was never a reason why

It's sick either way
It's sick either way
It's sick either way you look at it so

Take what you want and leave a hole inside.
Take everything you need to keep you satisfied.
Break everything you see then try to hide
Take it all but you're never taking me alive

Now you have used my weakness against me.
A Trojan Horse already through the gate.
Weakness
I spiral down into the
Excuses
Search for excuses
Hatred
It's time to take an honest look inside

Once upon a time I knew everything
When I stop to think back on everything
It all runs away like a memory (like a memory)
Once there was a picture of a happy place

But I always keep thinking
What a great place to leave

(Chorus)

I'd trade it all
To have you all here with me

Father, when you coming by?
Mother, leave the light on again
Sister, with someone, somewhere, somewhere
Brother, brother, brother

(Chorus)

Trailer park heaven was a dream to me
'Cause we had it figured out
Simple and not jaded
There was a promise of a brighter day
But soon it would all fade out

(Chorus)

I'd trade it all
To have you all here with me

Father, when you coming by?
Mother, leave the light on again
Sister, with someone, somewhere, somewhere
Brother, brother, brother

When it's something we love that keeps us away,
Well it costs even more and it's so much to pay

To have you all here with me

Father, when you coming by?
Mother, leave the light on again.
Sister, with someone somewhere somewhere
Brother, brother, brother
Brother, brother, brother
Brother, brother, brother

Can you live without one red cent?
Can a little true heart really pay the rent?
No
It'll take a lot of give to get
All the money you've spent it's a game of pressure
So
Put a little on the back of someone else. Cause another problem just to ease yourself.
Can't you see that it's coming back around, and when it comes back
It'll drive you farther down.

Free? Now are you? Is it life that holds us down?
Free? How are you? When I'm stuck here on the ground.

Can you fly without your wings on board?
It seems pretty unfair to end up on the floor.
Paying for a crime you weren't charged for,
Alive in a world that always wants more.
Is it any wonder that you're falling back inside the pattern that defines all you lack?
Don't you want to get into your car and get out of this town?

(Chorus)

It's all about the wrong thing if doesn't make your heart sing.
It couldn't be the right place with those tears upon your face.

(Chorus)

Free? Now are you?

Make me
Into the one you want, into the one you need you bend and
Break me
You watch me separate myself from who I really am
To fit into your plan

You're cutting me in two
And ripping me in three
You're killing with those words you say to me
You're cutting me in two
And ripping me in three
How many pieces can you take from me

Take it
Whatever's left is only following routine and
Fake it
And give in to the thoughts that being bought is what I am
To fit into your plan

(Chorus)

The wheels they turn for you, a deity for two.
Holding on it's true, won't bring it back again.
They way you look my friend...it's closer to the end.
I'm holding out a hand to bring it back again.

Cut down, you cut me up again.
Cut down, you cut me down.

(Chorus)

Hold on, I can't feel you
It's been too long for any rescue.
Is it lost, or just too hard to find?
Cut the cord. Fade to black.
It's better left behind.

It's time to celebrate everything is gone.
We're left with all the waste.
It's time to get it back

Back to Bare Bones

Keep on, it will find you.
A new light-something to see through.


Pay the cost. You're standing in a line.
There's a way to get it back.
Just let it fall behind.

(Chorus)

You never listen. No, you never listen.
Never listen, know you never listen to anything I ever say at all.
You never see them. No you never see the traps set in your way.
But does it really matter if we fall.

Cut the cord. Fade to black. It's better left behind.

Hover above my head and call me out
I'm beneath it all
Just a thief caught in the red
Hands dirty from the crawl
Back to an unsuspecting victim
Waiting on a different view
But it's too late now to change It
Wrapped inside, holding tight, to the memory of your light

And that's enough for me
I'm better off just to know you
Just stay right here with me
And that's enough for me
Just ask and I will show you
The man that I could be
And that's enough for me

They're running from eyes like there's a fire out of control
Saltwater testimony to a feeling in my soul.
Given to me by your tireless power,
Undermining all I've learned.
And it's too late now to change it
Wrapped inside, holding tight, to the memory of your light

(Chorus)

There's noone
And there's nothing left that's ever gonna bring me back down.

(Chorus)

Like a postcard picture fading out to desert winter,
Once an ocean now it leaves me dry.
Clouds are separating. Tear apart this life I'm living
I'm gravitated to this brand new light.

Is it in me? Am I still in control?
Did it leave me? I look around for a soul.
What's come over me? Always waiting for the next wave to wash over,
And Fill Me Again

Will it carry me far enough from all I've suffered?
Will it bridge the gap from there to here?
I wonder if I had it all would I feel there's something missing?
In tomorrow's light it seems so clear

(Chorus)

The wind is keeping me from falling forward.
Just another crutch to get me through.
The wave is coming and it's rising upward.
It's going to lift me to meet the blue.

(Chorus)

By popular demand you fall to waste again.
Brought to the execution by a friend.
The guilt is wearing down the defense, and gearing up your same old reasons.
Allowing you to relive the same old day.

I can see the pain living inside you.
I can see the change standing beside you.
Lean on me this time.
(this time)

Somehow you slip behind and go on your way.
Somewhere you'll find a place to make this stay.
For now it's wearing down the defense, and deconstructing every pretense.
Crawling up your spine and watching you decay.
Decay...

(Chorus)

I've been living it my way. I've been living it for myself.
It's the things that you don't say about the way that I know you've felt.
Everything right in my eyes. Two are one and as a whole.
Pour yourself into my life. I can't feel without your soul.

Say that you'll find no one else.
I pray that you find nothing
To tarnish the shine on what we've built
Beneath you and I.
Living our lives Evergreen.

I've been given the one thing. I've been given the greatest gift.
I've been sheltered on my way. Covered by all you give.
Greater good shines in my sky. I bathe in its precious glow.
Grounded in the heart of life, I've got something that can grow.

(Chorus)

Not affected by the ever changing world around us.
We're protected by the things we share so deep inside us.
Say that you'll stay

We'll stay Evergreen

(Chorus)

There's something every day that keeps on pulling at me.
Mental pictures of a firing line
You put me in that place with no one there to get me out.
Missing chances just to speak my mind.

My oh my, its so hard to pass by

This time
I'm all right but something is broken.
But, will it heal in time?
It's all right. Some words that were spoken leave a mark and change your mind.

It's not too hard to see you left this inside me.
This new emotion that I didn't know I needed.
Thank you for teaching me that I could never trust you.
The day will come when I can ask you why.

(Prechorus)

(Chorus)

I know tomorrow is a maybe.
It doesn't seem so guaranteed.
It seems for once we're finally happy,
And blessed with everything we need.

So take the highway west again
Follow the Sundown
Try to hold on while we can
Follow the Sundown
It could be better in the end.
Follow the Sundown
But we're saving every second of today.
Let's follow the sundown.

Chances come and chances leave you
Stranded on the beaten path
I'm not looking for what's to good to be true.
I'd sure love to see you laugh.

(Chorus)

You can't stop running, no you can't stop running. No you can't stop running now.

(Chorus)
