We Move On
02:12

Deleting what we've seen
Warm fingers cold screen
Recycling before our eyes
We can't find surprise
So we move on
But it hurts
What we've seen can't be unseen
Immortal dreams in concrete
Now we have a choice to make
Do we leave, do we leave or do we stay?
So we move on
But it hurts
Life goes on
So we move on
But it hurts

Silence

26 letters and I got nothing to say
The whole English alphabet just gone to waste
I won’t pick up the phone
And waste your time tying up your line
All you’re gonna hear from me is silence
On the other side
32 teeth and one strong little tongue
Learned to bite it so I won’t do no wrong
A sheath for a sword, a holster for a gun
But one little spark, and your whole forest is gone
I won’t pick up the phone
And waste your time tying up your line
All you’re gonna hear from me is silence
When the time comes, I’ll call
There’s a time to speak
A time for war
But right now I think I’ll hold my peace
I won’t pick up the phone
And waste your time tying up your line
All you’re gonna hear from me is silence
On the other side

If

I used to think that you were ok
But I never looked past your face
One day I drew the away the drapes
If I had seen that you were drowning
I would have pulled you out
If I had seen that you were tangled
I would have cut you out
The mirror hides a forest of orange
Trees whose names I can’t even say
How long have you been suffering this pain?
If I had seen that you were drowning
I would have pulled you out
If I had seen that you were tangled
I would have cut you out
Please forgive me for thinking you were fine all this time
Let’s go to the end of this tunnel
I’ll walk this rugged road with you
You’re not alone

Can't Take It Back
02:34

My fingers take the same shapes
My teeth bite the same tongue
I keep doing the same things
When will I see enough blood?
I can’t take it back
Relive the past
Rewrite the facts
I can’t take it back
My forehead’s built of bronze
My neck is cast of iron
Mentality made of flint
Have I started enough fires?
I can’t take it back
Relive the past
Rewrite the facts
I can’t take it back
I can’t take it back
Like I pull in a breath
I can’t take it back

No More We
04:11

My rubber knife shouldn’t break skin
But it’s strong enough to strike a nerve
Am I like a madman who throws firebrands?
Deceiving the neighbors to say I’m just joking?
I don’t know why I believed
That you couldn’t bleed, you couldn’t bleed
There’s no more we
It’s just you and me, just you and me
I ate sweet words of whisperers
They went down so smoothly like poison in honey
Now there’s no more we; it’s just you and me
I don’t know why I believed
That you couldn’t bleed, you couldn’t bleed
There’s no more we
It’s just you and me, just you and me
There’s a time to plant and a time to harvest
Alone, I’ll be reaping what I’ve sown
I don’t know why I believed
That you couldn’t bleed, you couldn’t bleed
There’s no more we
It’s just you and me, just you and me
No more we; it’s just you and me

Losing You
03:10

Sitting under the orange tree
I watch the fruit fall and bruise
The leaves were golden in spring
But my rivers were blue
To keep the sun out all night
I built a copy with mirrors
Towering a thousand flights
To drive out the fear
Losing you
There hear the music two hours away
And the peaches are close too
A dead general can't persuade you to stay
Neither can a bright newt
Losing you
In the distance I see your train
But will I see you again?
