El Dorado 02:46
Move on I spent so many years Writing songs about the past I think I’ve finally turned a corner I've, I’ve made it at last For the first time in a long time I’m looking around What use is a city of gold If only you see it that way Or having all the right words on a piece of paper But never knowing what to say? God only gave us one choice of direction So we might as well move on All I know is we’ve gotta start somewhere If we want our pain to be gone For the first time in a long time I’m looking around For the first time in a long time I’m looking around It’s been so long since I’ve looked up And seen the sun It doesn’t matter what it’s shining on ‘Cause it makes me feel like someone For the first time in a long time I’m looking around [It's been so long, it's been so long] I spent years dredging up lost cities Now it’s time to burn them to the ground [It's been so long, it's been so long] To the ground

Deluge 02:40
Sometimes I think of myself And who I’m wanting to be Yeah, that’s a thought so tantalising Hanging just beyond reach There’s a storm in the way It’s raining in my head so constantly [It's raining] and it breaks me down, it breaks me down again There’s a storm in the way It’s raining in my head so constantly [It's raining] and it breaks me down, it breaks me down again I can’t make it stop I can’t make it stop Though not for lack of trying I can’t make it stop I can’t make it stop One thing I’ve learned from tryin' Is that I can't make it on my own Looking back on myself When this is all years behind me Oh, that’s a thought so tantalising And every day it’s closer to my reach There’s a storm in the way It’s raining in my head so constantly [It's raining] and it breaks me down, it breaks me down again There’s a storm in the way It’s raining in my head so constantly [It's raining] and it breaks me down, it breaks me down again And I've come to find That what I thought I had for so long It was right infront, it was right in front of me And I've come to find That what I thought I had for so long It was right infront, it was right in front of me And I've come to find That what I thought I had for so long It was right infront, it was right in front of me [Who I am is not enough So I’ll run into your arms Who I am is not enough You exist in the deluge and the calm] And I've come to find That what I thought I had for so long It was right infront, it was right in front of me [Who I am is not enough So I’ll run into your arms Who I am is not enough You exist in the deluge and the calm]

Yoke 02:43
Help I’ve been had Misery has slithered in Convinced me that it’s not all bad How could I have prepared for Something horrible and new I feel so blind When the plug’s pulled out This world is a big place and it’s scary Help me God This is so horrible and new This is so horrible and new Unpredictable It's unpredictable Unpredictable, I am If only it was as easy as holding your breath And waiting for the storm to just blow over If only it was as easy as closing your eyes And pretending like you don’t need closure When the plug’s pulled out The world is such a scary place When the plug’s pulled out World is such a scary place Scary And whatever’s happening wants to Blind me so I cannot see Blind me so I cannot see Go Carry the weight ‘Cause I’m not that brave and the world is scary

Vultures 03:12
Hopeless arrows blacken the sky As I close my eyes and steeple my hands Spending your whole life pluggin' leaks is one thing But what do you do when nothing goes as planned? I know you’re out there, I know you see You never fail, so is it me? I know you’re out there, I know you see You never fail, it must be me The shadows lengthen, as the night, it creeps in Heralded by birds of prey flying on the blackest wings These vultures will hunt me down then rip me apart And nobody will notice ‘cause it's all in my own head I know you’re out there, I know you see You never fail, so is it me? I know you’re out there, I know you see You never fail, it must be me Frozen in place or sinking I can’t tell what’s worse Frozen in place or sinking I can’t tell what’s worse I know you’re out there, I know you see You never fail, so is it me? I know you’re out there, I know you see You never fail, it must be me Rip off their wings And claw my way back to you And every vulture ahead I'll face with a heart that is brand new I'll rip off their wings And claw my way back to you And every vulture ahead I'll face with a heart that is brand new

Silver 03:03
Maybe we’ll both be broken With only God to put all of our hope in Screamed half to death and yelling at closed doors Defeated by the endless wait for something more I always thought it would be clearer than this But the silver’s rusted in the rain I’ve been underwater and cannot dismiss Feeling that it stays the same Or worse Or worse Or worse Or worse Forever worse Or worse Or worse Or worse Forever God, you say that the door will be open And I believe it, and I believe God you know exactly how much I want this And please say I need it too, because I swear That I need it Need you Need you above all things I need it, need you Hide me beneath your wings Oh Hide me Hide me Oh Maybe we’ll both be broken and wasting away Maybe you’ll make us both brand new Maybe we’ll both be broken and wasting away Maybe you’ll make us both new NWOD MEHT WOM

Depth 03:27
Everyone has their own baggage But it’s so easy to forget when you’re draggin' yours And I know I can’t justify saying that “No one else has ever felt this way before” I can’t remember normal perception Or what the world is s'posed to feel like Somebody told me once that normal is relative When you’re scared to exist, it doesn’t sound right It doesn’t sound right When it feels like I’m wearing shoes of lead In the darkest trench at the bottom of the sea When it feels like all hope is failing Remind me the deep cries out to the deep To the deep As deep cries out to deep So let your love overwhelm As deep cries out to deep So let your love overwhelm me This is a tempering phase that I didn’t ask for And every day I’m struggling And every day God I need you more This is a tempering phase that I didn’t ask for Every day I’m struggling And every day I need you more Than I ever have Than I ever have As deep cries out to deep So let your love overwhelm As deep cries out to deep So let your love overwhelm me
