If I had been
A stronger man
I would have spilled my guts
Months ago
But if I were
A stronger man
We wouldn't be in this mess
If I had been stronger
We'd be fine
I'm sorry my friend
For sealing my lips
I shouldn't have kept the lights off
For as long as I did
If I had been
A better man
I would have opened up to you
Months ago
But if I were
A better man
My fears wouldn't get to me
A better man wouldn't have fallen this way
I promise I've got my feet planted deep in the ground
I promise I'm staying here

State of Fear

There's never been a place for this
So why can't we
Get away from it?
Get away from it
There's nothing we can do
They say
There's nothing we can change
A man can take a life
Take a sunny day in winter
And make it rain
The world is so much morse
Than we've ever let on
There's so much to fear
There's so much wrong
What are we doing wrong
There's so many fallen
So many hurt
There's nothing we can do
So what do we do
When those words come true?
Where do we go from here?
We're our own worst enemies
We are the cause
(We are the cause)
Of all this grief

Struggle

On the day that my eyes close
Will I leave what I was born in?
Or will I cease to be?
And if there is more to this
Will I remember what I've learned?
Who's to say I'm not already there?
Lived once before
Unable to recall
The steps I've taken getting there
Lived once before
Unable to recall
When it all deflates
And the hands on my clock stop moving
Will suddenly everything change
Will there be a chance for redemption
(A place to explore)
The half forgotten youth of a man turned aged
Will I even know?
Will I ever really know?
Empty out my contents
And move them to the next
Send me to another place
And let me rest
Oh, I'll never know
No, I'll never really know

Treason

I am a well intentioned man
Don't need your reasoning
I want to make you feel
I want to make you move
But I don't know the right words to use
Gotta be something that I could catch your eye
Gotta be something that could catch your
I am a well intentioned man
I want your mind on my mind
I want to see what's inside
I want your
I want your mind on my mind
I will not crumble where I stand
I'll hold my head above the river rapids
Don't need your hand
I have grown
To the man I am
With a lesson known
When the skin that you're in doesn't suit your needs
(Cut it off)
Cut it off and try again
Wrestle down the righteous
So your actions pass without judgement

I wore a mask
Cause fear was always better
Covered than confronted
I grew a mask
To cover
The face I never wanted
I grew a mask
I never told anyone about the demons
That nested in my head
Like an old sycamore tree
Hollowed out by the tips of their beaks
Wanderer
When will you come home to me?
Wanderer
When will you come to me?
I am the son of an immigrant's daughter
I am the sun
(The man on the moon)
You can lock the devils away
You can let them consume
You can let your demons prevail
You can refuse them
Wanderer
When will you come home to me?
(When will you come home to me?)
Wanderer
When will you come to me?
(When will you come to me?)
