Lyrics:

Verse 1
Your first words to me
Were quite the filigree
To the rioting within my heart

I saw your name in lights
To which you had all the rights
And I had not a thing from the start

Prechorus
Like when we took each other's hands and made a bond
That we'd be together always and beyond
You know you made a liar out of me, yeah
But nothing is ever guaranteed

Chorus
An unchanging mind
Will lead to the frailty of the heart
Lean with the wind
But do not break inside, break inside the arc

Verse 2
I used to love your eyes
But now they make me cry
They look at me with pity, guilt, and shame

And I thought you loved my mind
But no need to remind,
We can't even recall the other's name


Prechorus
Like when we took each other's hands and made a bond
That we'd be together always and beyond
You know you made a liar out of me, yeah
But nothing is ever guaranteed

Chorus
An unchanging mind
Will lead to the frailty of the heart
Lean with the wind
But do not break inside, break inside the arc

Verse 3
My last words to you
Severed solomn truth
And I'm ashamed it had to end that way

But it worked out for the best
'Cause now my soul can rest
In the arms of flexibility


Prechorus
Like when we took each other's hands and made a bond
That we'd be together always and beyond
You know you made a liar out of me, yeah
But nothing is ever guaranteed

Chorus
An unchanging mind
Will lead to the frailty of the heart
Lean with the wind
But do not break inside, break inside the arc


An unchanging mind
Will lead to the frailty of the heart
Lean with the wind
But do not break inside, break inside the arc

Inside The Arc

Rhythmically dynamic alternative rock featuring a reverberated Fender Telecaster, traditional piano, cadence, female vocals, and vocal harmonization.

Lyrics:

Tainted wings of a bird in flight
Spiral down, too far in for the light
Charge a dollar, hire them for spare change
I find it all strange

Don’t you know? This is a losing game
In the end, we all fall just the same
Into shadows hiding beneath the bluff
Was our repentance enough?
Waste not your time diverting all the blame
Eyes open to the flame
Higher they climb, for they will not you name
And we have only ourselves to blame
Yeah

Bright lights shining from the shore
Crown our most impressive feats of war
Buildings taller than the reach of all our sights
Yet we still remain blind

Don’t you know?  This is a one-way route
Once we’re in, ain’t no way to get out
Pose the query when the waters get rough
Was our repentance enough?

Waste not your time diverting all the blame
Eyes open to the flame
Higher they climb, for they will not you name
And we have only ourselves to blame
Yeah

Waste not your time diverting all the blame
Eyes open to the flame
Higher they climb, for they will not you name
And we have only ourselves to blame

Waste not your time diverting all the blame
Eyes open to the flame
Higher they climb, for they will not you name
And we have only ourselves to blame
Yeah
