If I was the first to cast the stone
Would you know it was for you
If I was to say that you were in the wrong
Would you be afraid to know the truth
I'm finding my way back to you
From all the times you've torn into my spine
I have learned that my strength lies in what I do
Forgive me for what I've done
So sing to me the sweetest songs of peace
So maybe tonight I'll get the sweetest of all sleeps
I finally made up my own mind
But others find it hard to tell
But with you I know the line between the two
My salvation and Hell
Oh God why do we always assume the worst
When every day is just a Times New Roman verse
God I pray that you see me through this shattered heart
Take me to the shores and make my oceans part
Cause there's no stopping now

This is the first time that I've seen you scared
And honestly I am too
Where did I go wrong this time around
This is the first time I spoke out of line
And thankfully not too soon
If I would've held my tongue I probably would've choked
Tell me where did I go wrong
We can't control the way that we move ourselves
Or how fast we run
This is the first time that I've seen your skin
Without the lies deep within
This is the first time that I've seen your skin
Tell me where have you been
We can't control the way that we move ourselves
Or how fast we run
This is the first time that I've seen you scared
Tell me how fast can you run
Where did I go wrong this time around
This is the first time that I've seen you scared
And honestly I am too
We can't control the way that we move ourselves
Or how fast we run
This is the first time that I've seen you scared
Tell me how fast can you run
Where did I go wrong

Another long wasted night, another forgotten fight with you
We throw plastic shards in hopes to pierce the heart of truth
I've never held these knives so perfectly torn inside my shoes
We can untie the knots, take back all that's lost if you
Would just take the time to...
Say that you don't need this
This is the only thing holding me back
Say that you don't need this
This could work if you would try
There's a line that you've drawn, I cannot cross
This could take a while, this could take a while
So say that you don't need any of this
I can't say I can do this on my own
But I can compliment you on your defense
I can't say that I'd still love you
Cause I can't love what I haven't missed
And I can't miss what I've never had
So I'll raise my glass in hopes to see you sad
We've done all we can do
Though we've forgotten who we are

Take a breath, look what I've done
Faithful mistake, slip of the tongue
I never knew it, I never saw it coming
(...2, 3, 4)
Take a pill and morning stare
Out my apartment to open air
I never knew I was the one who forgot how to breathe
And we are the ones where hope was lost
Cause we carelessly carry the cross
And we are the ones whom grace confounds
And we cannot stay, no we can't stay
Make up your mind, we haven't time
To sit around and make up rhymes
The world is quickly dying inside
We can never speak no more
Than for what we've done
Than for who we are
And we are the ones whom grace confounds
And we cannot stay, no we can't stay

The Son of the House

Where could we go
Where we could be alone
This place is not our home
But we didn't know
And there we are underneath ourselves
With all our dreams to tell
And there's never been a time where the sun couldn't sleep
Cause I'm holding on too tight
And here I am in this light
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
And there's no way to tell
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, am I wrong
And if you want to go, well then go
I'm ok with that I guess
Because either way
You're all that I have left
You're all that I have left
And I am the son of a house in the trees
Where I learned to fly on my own
And you were the daughter of the ground
Where I fell

I can feel it in the air
Just like that same perfume you wear
I'll try to reach for it but it's not there
It's somewhere else like your eyes
Better off without the blankets
They hide the scent so comforting
To know what else they hide would be a sin
If you can't see from my own point of view
I won't be the one in shame
Though I'm like the rock and you like the paper
I will never cut out your name
I've tried to erase this story
With all these dream I can't stop sorting
I'm trying to teach myself but it's not working
It's working out like your eyes
Better off without the windows
Paralyzed I'll be just fine
As long as I can see through my eyes
If you can't see from my own point of view
I won't be the one in shame
Though I'm like the rock and you like the paper
I will never cut out your name
Why am I followed by my own dreams
When night after night I cannot sleep
Is it night or day, have I faded away
With all the lies that I am
Constantly repeating in my hands
Better days and better nights
Have shot down all my smiling rights
And thrown them all in an empty grave
Forgive me for I won't submit to
All these mistakes I've made
But I keep my direction
For I've gained a new perspective of us
Seering imperfection

At the foot of everything...
There was a flood in me
So great I could hardly breathe
But you can now rest assured
All of me was accounted for
And all egos aside
Was I just a passerby
Caught and then led astray
I just want to stay awake
Please don't go see me through
Great are those who wait

Hurricanes

There's no way to satisfy this room
Til my leaving floods these floors
I know you're scared fearing you'll be left alone
Fighting hurricanes with swords
We could just stay and fight through this our own way
But the walls will only win
Or say the storm will pass,
I just fear that we won't last any longer in the end
Now that the world has run its course, could you tell me was it worse
When the battles you fought were lost
Let's run away, don't listen to what they say
The fight you've won has no cost
My hands they hurt due to the amount of work
Tearing holes into these frames
Its not your fault, you were always meant to fight
Against all my hurricanes
Against this life, you hold on tight
To all you own
Remember why you did not die
You're much too strong

The world shakes and I'm alive
I cannot speak, I cannot breathe
There is no more of us, there is no more of grace
We ate it up like our endless days
You gave me everything that I thought I would need
Still I consume til I'm complete
We never were the wives or husbands you taught us to be
We all assumed that we would see everything
