Waiting For Me
04:14
|
|||
vs 1:
it's 3am and i can't sleep anymore
my head, a storm of memories
i found myself in my great-grandfather's land
a place that i'd not planned to be, but
ch:
you were waiting there for me
you were waiting there for me
yes, you were waiting there for me
thank you for waiting for me
vs 2:
i fell in love as you moved upon my heart
your spirit dancing in between
the lives of songs and daughters chasing after you
of ones i'd only just to meet, and
ch
br:
the hardest hour, well it came too late for tears
my weeping dried them days before
but as the outside world went into free spin
you brought a still pointe to the war, 'cause

Entropy / Apathy
05:29
|
|||
vs 1:
entropy, entropy, all is in entropy
a wheel with a broken spoke tumbling toward destiny
entropy, entropy
apathy, apathy, hearts filled with apathy
abstained from the vote in a silent majority
apathy, apathy
ch 1:
and this world still spins round and round
and the lost soul still longs to be found
we're courting with chaos and don't care at all
oh entropy, apathy
consumed by the fall
vs 2:
the everyman seeks to fulfill every longing
tasting each vintage for what satisfies
while deluding himself, thinking peace is in comfort
that salvation could come without true sacrifice
ch 2:
and this world still spins round and round
and the lost soul still longs to be found
we're following footsteps of failed grand designs
through entropy and apathy
do the blind lead the blind
br:
but even in troubled times
the breadcrumbs still lead from the path that is wide
while love breaks the atmosphere to show a new way
with hope for tomorrow and strength for today
ch 3:
and this world still spins round and round
and the lost soul still longs to be found
will we ever be rid of the curse of this plague
oh entropy, apathy
can't wash it away

Never Walk Alone
04:23
|
|||
vs 1:
disappearing one
two worlds have come together
and from that moment on
our passage linked forever
oh bird on wounded wing
so failed yet not forsaken
what life of mystery
has left you lost and shaken?
pre 1:
don't you go fading
and turn your eyes to stone
i'm right here waiting, you're
not on your own, you've got a home
vs 2:
bending by degrees
with downcast mien, unblinking
your own worst enemy
may not be who you're thinking
you've weathered all that's been
in crowded isolation
but i can just begin
to heal your heart's starvation
pre 2:
i know you're wading
into a sunlit high
while anticipating
some hell to rise and black the sky, with
ch:
head held down along the way
know, my darling, come what may
down roads familiar or unknown
we never walk alone

Offering (Redux)
05:18
|
|||
vs 1:
before the moment i was born, you knew me
all my days were open to your eyes
every single breath i take, you give me
you are my life
vs 2:
your shepherd voice has called me from the lowlands
from the comfort of all i have known
to steal away off to a mountain kingdom
'twill be my home
pre:
and if you're everything to me
if you are everything to me
ch:
i don't want to offer anything that costs me nothing
may everything i bring be a sacrifice of sorts
though could ever anything that i might give
be truly seen as loss when given to you, Lord?
vs 3:
you've set the path i'm meant to walk before me
and suffering and sorrow as my guides
with just a single word of call, you've promised
you're at my side
vs 4:
and though the way is steep and i am fearful
the seed of love you've planted spurs me on
to heights where crippled feet and twisted visage
will all be gone
pre

Working Up The Nerve
02:57
|
|||
i've been working up the nerve for at least a year or two
i think i'm finally at the point now where i'll send it on to you
i've reached my limits how to say this, eloquence is not my strength
so if the meaning still eludes you, we can talk it out at length
i know in pointed conversations we run the risk of being cruel
but neither you nor i are perfect so we'll just have to make due
when our communication broke down something broke in me as well
and the more i think about it, it's put me through a bit of hell, but
ch:
i was never at a place
like i am right now
and i'm praying that you
are at this same place somehow
so i've been working up the nerve to finally bring it up to you
i'm not quite sure what came between us but this talk is overdue
all the bridges that had spanned us, drawing lines between two broken lives
have atrophied in isolation, begun the process to unwind
and if i may have disappointed, i hope you'll travel to, in time
a place for me to find forgiveness, a place for you as well in kind
