A Perfect Fit
05:03

This puzzle piece I've never found
It says so much, but not enough
I'll take the chance of drawing in
The small, but crucial, perfect fit
Will you take this chance with me?
There's not much I haven't seen
If you take a stand, take one with me
We will end so perfectly
Take my hand
Take a chance
Take a look at this face
The last mistake you will make
This life is tearing us apart
This mystery still goes unsolved
I've found all the clues, all but one
I've been searching for far too long
This cracked spyglass won't tell me anymore
You can't take this stand with me
You've already seen what's inside of me
If you take a chance, don't take me
We will end so perfectly
Take my hand
Take a stand
Take a look at this face
The last mistake you will make
This life is tearing us apart
If I don't want to be saved
Then there's not much you can say
This fight is tearing me apart
Take my hand
Take a stand
Take my hand
Take a stand
This life is overwhelming
Will you surrender?
No matter what I choose
It won't get much better
Show me my path (Don't hide it from me)
How can I last (When you're running from me)?
Take a look at this face
The last mistake you will make
This life is tearing us apart
If I don't want to be saved
Then there's not much you can say
This fight is tearing me apart

Drained

There's a hole in this thing, I can feel it
Feel it gasping and wheezing for the air it can't breathe in
It's cruel of me to think I can fix it
When there's nothing left in there to keep in
Now this lifeless soul can continue on
Same routine it's been for years and many years to come
I'll build a wall, to hide it all, and show that I'm still strong
Nothing can break this fortress I've become
But I'm drained
From head to toe I'm as dry as they come
Nothing to contain
Perhaps the gravity will bring me to the ground
Maybe someday
The wind will come and lead me to a better place
I'll let these scavengers take what they want
Until there's nothing left to take
There's a cold draft flowing through me, I can feel it
Numbing every single part of me I still believe in
How can I give what I've still got
When the person I am I've already forgot?
No, I refuse to believe that same soul
Is the same one that got himself stuck with that hole
Because that same soul will just keep floating on
Same routine it's been for years and many years to come
He'll build a wall, to hide it all, and show that he's still strong
Nothing can break the fortress he's become
But he's drained
From head to toe he's as dry as they come
Nothing to contain
Perhaps the gravity will bring him to ground
Maybe someday
The wind will come and lead him to a better place
He'll let those scavengers take what they want
Until there's nothing left to take
I'm scarred up, I'm beat down
But I keep coming back for more
I'm wound up, I'm played with
Then thrown back down to the floor
Don't worry, I'll still be there
When you decide you're bored
No feelings here, just chilling gears
That could just use a little warmth
Now that lifeless toy can keep unwinding on
Same routine it's been for years and many years to come
It'll paint a coat, to hide its rust, and show that it still works
Nothing can break the machine it's become
But it's drained
From gear to gear it's as dry as they come
Nothing to contain
Not even a paperweight can keep it to the ground
Maybe someday
A garbage truck will bring it to its rightful place
I'll let those scavengers take what they want
Until there's nothing left to take

Promises

I once looked up to you, imagining how it would be
To be a man like you, would be a blessing to me
You taught me how to hunt, to take everything I need
I thought I had it all, you were everything to me
Look at it, this heart of glass
Can you feel it break? Feel it shatter
Where we have been, is in the past
Cause in the end, it doesn't matter
All your sins were once a promise
All your lies were once a promise
What you did was once a promise
I promise you, you never loved us
Can you see how my trust is frayed?
The same old line, everyday
You swear to love, you swear to stay
You claim that I'm the light of day
But the shards still come crashing down
The spyglass wasn't honest
I'm left alone with a little less
All because you promised
I thought that I had found the one
If I was the night, you were my sun
The earth, revolving around us
I was blind to see what you've become
Look at it, this heart of glass
Can you feel it break? Feel it shatter
Where we have been, is in the past
'Cause in the end, it doesn't matter
All your sins, you promised me
All your lies, you promised me
What you did, you promised me
I promise you, you never loved me
Can you see how my trust is frayed?
The same old line, everyday
You swear to love, you swear to stay
You claim that I'm the light of day
But the shards still come crashing down
The spyglass wasn't honest
I'm left alone with a little less
All because you promised
Now can you see that I've been betrayed?
My heart's desire, has been outweighed
I'm scared to love, in any way
If I'm the night then I'll just stay that way
'Cause the shards still come crashing down
Like the fortress, before it
I'm left alone, beneath the ground
All because you promised
You Promised
I came to you when no one else did
I cared for you, I even took you in
We promised for our hearts' sake
That we would make this last
You can see it, not too far away
Use the spyglass, take it at last
Look at it, this heart of glass
Can you feel it break? Feel it shatter
Where we have been, is in the past
'Cause in the end, it doesn't matter
Can you see how my trust is frayed?
The same old line, everyday
You swear to love, you swear to stay
You claim that I'm the light of day
But the shards still come crashing down
The spyglass wasn't honest
I'm left alone with a little less
All because you promised
Now can you see that I've been betrayed?
My heart's desire, has been outweighed
I'm scared to love, in any way
If I'm the night then I'll just stay that way
'Cause the shards still come crashing down
Like the fortress, before it
I'm left alone, beneath the ground
All because you promised
You Promised

Rebuild
06:04

Here I am again, in such a familiar place
I'm standing here alone, with no one else to blame
The uncertainty's driven me insane
This shattered dream has left me wide awake
The deal was made, and I'm who paid
I made the same mistake again
A chance is all I ask, for an unachievable dream
Must I be blinded by my past, or will you show me how to see?
So can I cast aside my troubles, into an endless sea of rocks?
Can I skip them through the dust? As if they never weighed enough
Rebuild this dream (This dream)
Build to the skies, ‘til we can't reach
Rebuild (Rebuild) with me (with me)
Don't you deny, what I have seen
There you are again, too far from my side
I can't describe the pain, you inflict with those eyes
Your integrity, was my demise
With no retreat, I stood to fight
"I must believe", I thought inside
"Don't make the same mistake this time"
Can I build on top of rubble? Will the dust ever fade away?
Or is my dream just as hopeless? Even our fortress wasn't saved
So can I push aside this gravel, as it breaks within my palms?
How could something so fragile, ever be so strong?
Rebuild this dream (this dream)
Build to the skies, ‘til we can't reach
Rebuild (Rebuild) with me (with me)
Don't you deny what I have seen
A fortress (rebuild) so high (this dream)
Rebuild the walls, make it complete
Hopeless (rebuild) but alive (with me)
Rebuild the walls, restore this dream
Your conscience separates us from what we can achieve
Confront these obligations or you'll never learn to breathe
The dust billowing in all these different spaces
One more gust of wind and this fortress will cave in
Rebuild this dream (this dream)
Build to the skies, 'til we can't reach
Rebuild (rebuild) with me (with me)
Don't you deny what I have seen
I worked (you knew) I climbed (I'd fall)
Our fortress crumbled, at your feet
You heard (I reached) me scream (for you)
I took the fall (now take the leap)

Forged By Fire

This fire's fueled by coals of the past
Her breath has blown on it at last
The hole is gone, a draft, the boulders
A burden lifted off my shoulders
A promise was made for the sake of the flames
So that neither would see darker days
But as the fire died, a spark remained
How could she turn away from her mistake?
Tracing the steps before me
I remember the darker days
Replacing the prints behind me
I remember what I can make
If I was molded by the fire
When it rains will I fade away?
Will the wind decide to take me
And turn me into something great?
So do I rely on nature's calling
Or will I burn forever more?
'Cause when a bitter soul needs healing
It could just use a little warmth
I used to beg for the pain to cease
The heat was too intense for me
At times when I was lost and weak
I could feel the shadow reaching out for me
But I've walked throughout the fire
The sparks remind me of their eyes
You see, the flame is what they desire
With no care of what ignites
Tracing the steps before me
I remember the darker days
Replacing the prints behind me
I remember what I can make
Rising to heights above you
I want you to see what you've made
Erasing the scars entirely
Take a look at my face
If I was molded by the fire
When it rains will I fade away?
Will the wind decide to take me
And turn me into something great?
So do I rely on nature's calling
Or will I burn forever more?
'Cause when a bitter soul needs healing
It could just use a little warmth
I've burned into ashes
And picked up the pieces
My glass heart was shattered
Now ask me how I'm breathing
I was forged by the fire
What I carry is its wake
I was built within destruction
Now there is nothing left to take
