Track Name: Leaving
Stay by my side until the morning
Because in the morning, I am leaving.

For the hills are alive
All that stands in between
My conquering strides
Are your collapsing knees

Stay by my side until the morning
Because in the morning, I am leaving.

For the hills are in decline
Nothing would keep us here
If my distracted mind
Hadn’t gathered dust all these years

Stay by my side until the morning
Because in the morning, I am leaving.

For the hills are on fire
Satisfied, you will see
What has called me to them
Can’t be what you see in me

So will you go?

Must we move in these circles misconstrued?
Can we slow down?

Stay by my side until the morning
Because in the morning, I am leaving.

For the hills will arise
While you play musical chairs
For fractions of my time
With fingers in your ears

Stay by my side until the morning
Because in the morning, I am leaving.

For the hills are in bloom
You have gathered my seed
To fertilize with barren life
Just to spill at your feet

So will you go?
Track Name: Observer and Creature
Predator would you deliver me
To waves of blades that would have held with ease
Where insect and arachnid nests convene
To worship in my temple’s cavity

Call me the creature who wanders in a fever
Call me the observer who ponders of the creatures

All I want is…
All I need is…
Enough

Scavenger would you surrender me
To accomplices with dominance agreed
As birds bombard to claim their part freely
And take all I am and all I want to be

Call me the creature who wanders in a fever
Call me the observer who ponders of the creatures

All I want is…
All I need is…
Enough
Track Name: I Have Heart, I Have a Heart
I am brave
When the lion lays
And the lamb is slain
But still nourishes

I am great
When my name betrays
But my being remains
And still flourishes

I am strong
When the giant falls
From the stone dissolved
With lack of confidence

I am calm
Though my tone’s all wrong
And my guns are drawn
Partial to consequence

I am safe
When the rapture claims
And the act negates
Any atonement

I am wise
When my compromise
Arrives just in time
For postponement

I am sure
When my thoughts conjure
And my words concur
To slur enlightenment

I am fine
I won’t tell you twice
I haven’t changed my mind
In light of anything

-Memory-
"I don’t need you to tell me of your love songs
When all I do, I seem to do for your love songs
But the words you sing can’t comfort me when you are gone
Because I am through with you and all that you’ve done wrong"

I am full
It isn’t possible
To carry anymore
Although I’ll take what’s left

I am through
But I’ll continue
To notice hidden proofs:
Is this some form of test?

I am done
But I’ll still go on
Look how far I’ve come
I can’t get it right

I am right
I’ve known it this whole time
Though I could not describe
Oh, I hope I’m right

In the early morn, we’ll be reborn; the river knows my name
In the early morn, we’ll be reborn; the river knows my place
Track Name: Prepared
I know you’ll never give me more than I could bear
So I could never say I wasn’t prepared
When all that I do you know beforehand
So I could never say it wasn’t the plan

I am just a single note in the song, here’s how it goes:

Let the river run its course
Let the kingdom claim its land
Let the poet think in code
May the preacher understand
May the magic mystify
Make the science evident
Let the spirit come inside
Keep our monsters under beds

Come outside
Look alive
I’ll be your guide
I’m at your side
Track Name: Bitter Man
Come old blood, are you uninspired?
Disinfect the day from your skin
My pockets cry it’s a fight for survival
My brittle bones sigh I’m finished

On Calvary’s hill, an ark has been built
But the lay of the land is on a map in my hand
Come sons and daughters, file in one by one
Come hell or high water, I will stay till I’m done

Come recluse, are you disillusioned?
Your rocking chair will soon lose its shape
Laboring will soon prove its purpose
Or the rising waters will take my place

On Calvary’s hill, an ark has been built
But the lay of the land is on a map in my hand
Come sons and daughters, file in one by one
Come hell or high water, I will stay till I’m done

But I’ll come outside so you’re not alone
Track Name: Bloody Boat
Though you do not speak
I know you are with me
Broken heart, broken heart

Though I do not bleed
I know blood fills me
Bloody boat, bloody boat

Though my mind is free
It still contains me
Shackled nerves, shackled nerves

Though your words refrain
You can’t sustain me
Hollow verse, hollow verse

Though I still may breathe
My breath will leave me in
Broken earth, broken earth

Though my will concedes
You will not claim me
Holy ghost, holy ghost
Track Name: Never Could Find
Hiding in the only country that I know
Seeking the prosperity of home
Oh, I never could find

Coming to conclusions on my own
Leaving the necessity of hope
Oh, I never could find

I searched all night and day
Only to be misplaced

Basking in the only nature that I know
Concealing the locations that I’ve roamed
Oh, I never could find

Arriving with convictions that I hone
Departing with the awkwardness I boast
Oh, I never could find

I searched all night and day
Only to be misplaced
Track Name: River Return Me
Oh I will lie in the river
And let the current hold me under
And quietly go to the sea.

Come cover me
Fill me with peace, a wash of relief

Come sing to me
Sweet harmony, I’m up to my knees

Oh I will lie in the river
And let the torrent tuck me under
And quietly go to the sea.

Come cover me
Comforting dreams, no thoughts, no belief

Come sing to me
Pure melody deafens me as I sink

Oh I will lie in the river
And let the current hold me under
And quietly go to the sea.
Track Name: Bitter Woman
Stay by my side until the morning?
I want you to remember when all of this is gone
I’ve been a good wife, or haven’t I?
I want you to remember bout how you did me wrong

Where are you hiding, deciding to spite me?
Is all of this so frightening that you run on and on?
Who’s keeping time now that ours has expired?
I want you to remember the heart that breaks at dawn

The hills are getting colder
So you’ll come cry on my shoulder
Until you can figure out
That you can’t sing about
What you don’t believe

Come deserter, are you uninspired?
I want you to surrender to the prosperity of home
You’ve paid your dues, or haven’t you?
I want you to surrender to every debt you owe

What are you seeking, discretely deceiving?
The record keeps repeating, the lies go on and on
Who’s compromised the life they are leading?
I want you to surrender the love you stuff in song

The hills are getting colder
So you’ll come cry on my shoulder
Until you can figure out
That you can’t sing about
What you don’t believe
Track Name: Comin' Home
Nothing is what I thought it was
I move upon a circuit board
I move within a timely course
I move without a distinct cause

But I was clean, if you know what I mean
Layers crumbled at my feet
Mountains rose with every beat
And thunder claimed every movement that I made
Rising steps converted pain
Trailing dust filled up my grave

This is how the story goes
This is how the story is told
Echoes in the land below
Whispers in abandoned homes

And it was free to corrupt my company
Voices fell from hallowed peaks
Verses grew with sharpened teeth
And progress came without leaving an escape
Silent halls collected frames
Ticking clocks filled up my days

I’m coming home
Track Name: Afterword (All I Am)
Call me the creature
Call me the observer

Call me the seeker
Call me the deserter
I begin closer to where I end

All I am, All I am

Call me the conceiver
Call me the deceiver

Call me the reaper
Call me the believer
When I’m done, don’t tell me what I’ve done

All I am, All I am
