"Ethereal"

I let the moment slip away 
Always count on other days
But when only memories remain
Regrets become the time we waste

I cannot comprehend
And at the same time I hope I can't begin too
I'm trying hard to comprehend
And at the same time I hope I can't begin too
Know just how it felt

I felt this moment rip away 
Cognizant transcendency
And while the world remains unchanged
My reverie is wavering

I cannot comprehend
And at the same time I hope I can't begin too
I'm trying hard to comprehend
And at the same time I hope I can't begin too
Know just how it felt
Ethereal

"Godspeed"

Thank you for quite a ride
You're not just my friend
You're a brother of mine
Memories of all our times
I'll hold close
Carry them through my life

Goodbye my friend, You'll be always on my mind
Thank you for all you've left
Goodbye my friend, see you on the other side
Then we'll have a good...

Time can be quite unkind
Oh how I long to hear your laugh ignite
Makes this right
I wish for just one more  
Chance to say
We'll miss you, get home safe

Goodbye my friend, You'll be always on my mind
Thank you for all you've left
Goodbye my friend, see you on the other side
We'll have a good time

I can't believe this world won't be seeing you again
Goodbye's never easy
Godspeed, my friend
Although we grieve, I'm thankful for calling you my friend
Goodbye's never easy
Godspeed, my friend
Godspeed, my friend
Godspeed, my friend
Godspeed, my friend

"IN FRONT OF ME"
(Kelly, Bryson, Denton)

This is never gonna be the same, will it babe?
After all that we've said and done, I still threw it away
You are the part of me I just can't keep
You saw a side of me I just can't see
And now I'm mourning you, though you're right in front of me
Right in front of me

You are a part of me I just can't shake
The broken pieces that I can't seem to unbreak
And now I'm mourning you, though you're right in front of me

AND NOW I SEE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG
EVERYTHING IS GREY NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE
AND I KEEP TRYING TO BE, WHO I WAS BEFORE
BUT TIME TURNED THE PAGE AND I AM LOST

I let a fear of flying hold me down
So afraid to fall I never left the ground
You were a part of me I didn't deserve
Tried to convince you but it only seemed to get worse
And now I'm mourning you, though you're right in front of me

AND NOW I SEE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG
EVERYTHING IS GREY NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE
AND I KEEP TRYING TO BE, WHO I WAS BEFORE
BUT TIME TURNED THE PAGE AND I AM LOST

"Let Go of Hate"  
(Kelly, Bryson)

It's in our nature you see
Just too much info to think
And eyes are a function of this simplifying

They segregate by ignorance and boundaries
That don't really exist
Resonating through the ages, passively aided
 
So speak up now, because you know that this is wrong
There's not one color to which you belong
So please don't self differentiate, let go of hate
We are but one race

Dissuade, excuses they are boundless
Stats say anything you wish
Shame, blame and contradictions, complacent, unrest

So stay strong, 'cause disillusionment prolongs
And there's not one color to which you belong
So please don't self differentiate, let go of hate
We are but one race
We are but one race

Ardent are the puppets dancing
Deceit the strings on which they swing
And they swing, oh they swing 

So cut yourself down from this nonsense you were taught
There's not one color to which you belong
So please don't self differentiate, let go of hate
We are but one race

Let Go of Hate

“War Maps and Figurines”
(Kelly, Bryson)

Still the same old lessons 
We refuse to learn 
It all comes down to us
Pawns within the board games
We use to play as kids
War maps and figurines for elites

Lives taking lives over lines
Leaving only lonely brides
Holding flags folded tight 
Never to unfurl or fly
Like these birds
Bullet embers
Dying the night sky a bright 
Crackling Incandescence 

Something solitary 
Lost within our masses
Indignant cries
Seeking sanctuary
Neutrality worn like a big bullseye
We can't hide from all these lies and the lives

Lives taking lives over lines
Leaving only lonely brides
Holding flags folded tight 
Never to unfurl or fly
Like these birds
Bullet embers
Dying the night sky a bright 
Crackling Incandescence

Dying the night sky
Dying the night sky
And I'm so tired of the lies

Lives taking lives over lines
Leaving only lonely brides
Holding flags folded tight 
Never to unfurl or fly
Like these birds
Bullet embers
Dying the night sky a bright 
Crackling Incandescence

"PARDON OR PENANCE"
(Kelly, Bryson, Denton)

We've come undone, we've come undone
No one's won but we've lost
Damnation's path is paved with good plans
Intentions had, mean nothing at all

No one wants to die in vain
I hope you're not interpreting my silence for weakness
No matter what I say
No one's offering you pardon or penance

Do as you're told, marching orders
Right or wrong, you're not to decide
I Just pray that God confides and guides the hearts and minds
Of the men who lead the charge

'Cause no one wants to die in vain
I hope you're not interpreting my silence for weakness
'Cause no matter what we say
No one's offering us pardon or penance

I've come undone, I've come undone
No...No...No...
No one wants to die in vain
I hope you're not interpreting my silence for weakness
No matter what you say
I'm not asking you
My pardon or penance

Pardon or Penance

"PADDLE OUT"
(Kelly, Bryson, Denton)

Somewhere deep inside
A defiant spark ignites
You can float on with the tide
Or row where you decide

So Paddle Out of this, quick as you can
Paddle Out and get, and think for yourself

Somewhere deep inside
Suppressed and confined
The rules are taught and defined
It's creative thought refined

Paddle Out of this, quick as you can
Paddle Out and get, and think for yourself
Yeah, think for yourself

They'll teach what you say, they'll teach what think
And muzzle your God given voice if you let them
They'll teach what you say, they'll teach what think
And they'll muzzle your God given voice if they can
If they can, if they can

So Paddle Out of this, quick as you can
Paddle Out and get, and think for yourself
Think for yourself, think for yourself
Think for yourself

Paddle Out

"ENIGMA"
(Kelly, Bryson)

Among this great expanse of space
My orbiting defines my place
But do I know my role is a just a cog within this spinning wheel
And can it yield a change

The more I wonder, The more I realize I don't know
The more I ponder this, The more my search begins to grow 
Into ignorance, Cause knowledge always leads me to
More questions than truth

Standing in this cosmic place
My atmosphere can bring me peace
But still I'm just as much a part of what's galaxies away
As this person next to me

The more I wonder, The more I realize I don't know
The more I ponder this, The more my search begins to grow 
Into ignorance, Cause knowledge always leads me to 
More questions than truth
The more questions than truth

What more can I do? 
This enigma confuses me, it's bewildering
In my search for truth
This enigma's intriguing me, just how small are we?

The more I wonder, The more I realize I don't know
The more I ponder this, The more my search begins to grow
Into ignorance, Cause knowledge always leads me to
More questions than truth

Enigma

"VOICES"
(Kelly, Bryson, Denton)

Your eyes are your eyes, they aren't mine
Though I've tried to see as the benign
See, I sold what I held dearest, and now the only thing that's clear is
I would walk through the fire, to buy back just one desire

'Cause I feel estranged, and slightly deranged, we're playing games again
I'm seeing plots against me and the moves you've made
I've lost grip of the reigns, enemies are friends, 
And reality escapes me as my freedom fades

The eyes that haunt me look inside
And they pry in places I've denied 
So I shy away from meaning, if it means I hide this feeling
That helpless desire, to take what you dangle like bait as I...

Feel estranged, and slightly deranged, we're playing games again
I'm seeing plots against me and the moves you've made
I've lost grip of the reigns, enemies are friends, 
And reality escapes me as my freedom fades,  yeah my freedom fades, and it fades

And I acquiesce the voices inside, acquiesce the voices inside
And I acquiesce these voices inside, acquiesce the voices inside

Because I feel so estranged, and slightly deranged, we're playing games again
I'm seeing plots against me and the moves you've made
I've lost grip of the reigns, enemies are friends, and our freedom fades, yeah it fades, and it fades
