Music & Lyrics: Chris Brockhan
Drums: Kellii Scott of Failure

Glassed-eyes
Mirror stars and bonfire light

Laid soft
Biding, pale and peacefully
Bright-lipped
dreaming of
some far-off waking

Scale hand by hand
Slowly, windows alight
Stone tower nightmares to fade
You've got to know once in awhile
That I'll come through
You've got to know once in a while
I'm thinking of you

Peel back curtains
Bending, begging for
Breath poured from your heart-
beats on fiercely
Spilling forward, alive

Claw from these far shadows
Open your eyes
wide, as the dark melts away
You've got to know once in awhile
That I'll come through
You've got to know once in awhile
I'm thinking of you

There is no crown
or gold promise
Just the weight
Of empty coins falling
Creeping up
This beast chasing
but you'll find me at your side

Claw from these far shadows
Open your eyes
wide, as the first touch of
day marks the sky-
line and the dark melts away
You've got to know once in awhile
That I'll come through
You've got to know once in awhile
I'm thinking of you

The Electric Authority - Hosting Trouble

Written by: Chris Brockhan
2008
Special thanks to The Electric Authority, and Chris Cox for drums/percussion inspiration.

I saw the lights
and heard the sirens blaring
but you were only to be found
laying out across a rolling bed
lifted overhead
without uttering a sound

lifted overhead
and I never said goodbye

taken from class
with all these people staring
my eyes fixed upon the ground
walking out towards a telephone
waiting all alone to spin this spirit down

starting down the road
through window barriers watching them carry her
oh, how could I have known 
that when the bus stopped here for me
that you'd stop hearing me?

lifted overhead
and I never said goodbye

Center Switch - Blaring Sirens

Glimpse

Can you see the color of belief
and draw outside the lines
to find your relief
from doubting your release?

Tame some chatter in the mind
Discern the quiet, find
peace within the fold
of what you can control

Call it faith
Call it anything you want
but stay close to me

Come back and hear the melody of us
Grasping at the touch
A taste of something sweet
A raise from your defeat

Don't call it fate
Call it anything else
but don't lose sight of me
