Turn 04:11
this is not a carousel this is not a proper kill this is life a special hell is it possible i'm wrong? and Heaven's clues are in the songs that make me break festering swells? the cataclysmic interstate where we get off the narrow straight in vessels made to speed our fate i'll swerve the line upon the ground to blur the sights and screech the sound and turn the universe around come into us come into us come into us
2.
Spirit Song 03:04
the slightest foe the sorest truth be told intellectuality compresses to align we're not of a strange accord we reign in flames a system of a single core and hearts restored i can't be like this like cigarettes and ashes let's make this last forever we're not backin' down not backin' down the sterile zones and megaphones are sayin' the same thing "Just let it out! Just scream it out! Just sing it out!"
3.
it's hard to see through all the blurs of rain and fears combined this love was mine, but it wasn't hers i've given up, i've given over (there are more to dreams than what meets the eye) i can't begin to even try (there are more to dreams in our naked lives) my hands are open towards the sky what can i be if i have not love? does this render me a robot? i'm punchin' in and i'm punchin' out all the hopes that i had thought about i lie alone for this one i hate making up love turn, bend, spill, spin i still have questions how could you? and how could i?
4.
Own the Sky 04:08
my tongue is squirmin' in my teeth it twists and circles 'til it bleeds if i could only set it free oh, shy in soul am i my dreams are losin' out to greed as wants are feedin' on my needs i've lost the urge to disagree oh, shy in soul am i that i could ever watch this die in hands of those that wouldst deny my chance to ever own the sky the same stall the same crawl you never have to feel that dull the hate grows the shame swallows you never have to deal with those
5.
oh, my dear you are my fears you pierce my heart with the deepest brown spheres i know you ain't got the time to dance with me you're always reading i want to lay with you under the light of your patronus i don't have the magic in me but you've got it in you inside my t.v. still, the world just turns away and leaves me here to pray that when it comes around again i won't still be this way i can not believe that i still dream like i'm 13 reality reaches out for me dammed at the gates of my daydreams i pick up my arms to serve my King i'm sorry friends, i have to leave
6.
WakiTaki 03:52
this isn't how it should go i wanna feel it, but i just can't grow say would you like to sing to me when all i want is you to breathe a single moment that could mean something else if i can only give you what you know then let go this isn't how it should fold i wanna save it but i just can't hold trestle work is shakin', sullen swollen at the bases, breakin' up a single movement and we lean somewhere else if i can only live in what i know then why go? why try? why hold? why fight it all? we can't back up words that we can't speak so know your speech we can't build up strongholds in this heat so cool your feet
7.
i am a war held high on a pedestal driving hard like a vehicle programmed only to scream like hell it's been a cold day under the blazing sun i can't shelter what i have done until my eyes have recognized Your spell cause hearts beat faster when in disaster i am a sickness, so unagreeable starving, but still so unteachable destined to swim in the deepest hell we are nothing, we're just a spectacle searching for something that's tangible within our lies under Your eyes we fell cause hearts beat faster when in disaster so please, so please, please whirlwind, throw me down again lightning, strike me down again flash flood, let me drown again Father, break my heart again Father, i am ready to begin
8.
Tetherball 04:25
too comfortable to make a move to throw a punch at the world it's pitiful, irresponsible but correctable with time on a solid line i'll climb tetherball, coming 'round again you might wanna watch your head i'll stand, i'll strive we live, we climb on a solid line we climb as if we're so inclined to try but who is this man that even the wind and the seas obey Him? time travel is now patience lead us out
9.
the heart is weak it celebrates inactive hate oh, when love is fake sweet embraces, sweaty kisses raise the stakes take what you can take oh, catacombs of possibilities but you kill them daily frivolous force to beat a dying horse esophagus attempts to make a sound oh, how i love you she'll raise you up prior to stomping you in earth oh, see what you're worth a love embargo ends with compromise in hurt buckle your belts, cause here it comes an epilogue she'd written all along esophagus attempts to scream it out oh, how i love you it's more than last time why would you leave me? why can't you save me? my love has limits when i see the future you blur my vision you thunderstorm her
10.
Galadriel 03:23
i stand on my front porch and wait for miracles but they "fail" me i want to marry you if you'd like me to i could love you true get out of my head if you could get out of my heart if you could please? cause we all want what we can't have it makes us who we are and we all want what we should not have but i will take this far as far as i can
11.
lights out i need to get some sleep and dream about the things i wanna be cause that it how i move on, move on, move on the time is now to move on, move on, move on black and laced a memory embraced the battle axe the blood in steps retraced remember how i moved on, moved on, moved on the time was now to move on, move on, move on we will make it out we will make it out we will make it out we will make it out
12.
sink or stand the concept an illuminant options reside in your hands reachin' land to embrace a relief our exceptions are not in our plans "don't be alone" i am ankle-deep, takin' a chance on the fact that i can't fake the damage you inflict and i give you the slip cause i don't like, don't like you, don't like you don't wanna be alone "don't be alone" "don't be alone" don't, yeah, don't don't make me be alone

Thank you very much to:
All of our fans for supporting us.

Everyone who used to work at the Rock (Derek Ferell, Brad Streeter, Charlie, Deryck Stanek, and others) in Papillion (no longer open), for giving our band great opportunities to open for national and international acts. We learned a lot on that stage and it was because of you guys and your advice.

All the local bands that we used to play with OR see that inspired us so much...
Nifty 250, Hot From Far, White Collar Mercy, Mike Harvat and the Perfect Paradox, Tim Wildsmith, O Lovelle, Bartlett, Nicholas Petersen, Skypiper, Barter the Trigger, Alphabet, Scarecrow Rental, Eustace, Tie These Hands, Never Luke, Life's Last Breath, Hercules, Raising Atlantis, Back When, Go Crash Audio, Anniversaire, and many others.

Our parents for driving us to practices and later, trusting us enough to let us go to practices and play shows in and out of town. Cody's parents for letting us practice in their garage and their basement. Chris' dad for helping him deliver phone books when he was 13 so that he could buy his first guitar. Brad's parents for letting us practice and play shows in their basement. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Jesus Christ for keeping us safe all these years and for giving us His love. We played our absolute loudest as often as possible and it was the faintest, faintest, faintest, faintest, pin drop of expression compared to how loud and wonderful His love is. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Love you all. We'll miss you. Thank you.
May patience lead you out.
