Hold the sun, can’t keep it from setting Time rolls on and you can’t fight the waves Remind myself, I keep on forgetting Then I hear that drum and it’s right here Beings of dust, no wonder we’re dirty With so much heart it’s no wonder we’re bleeding So much lost, lost in the waiting Then I hear that drum and it’s right here All these days are written in pages All these ways, I’ve seen them before But oh, that heartbreak sounds like it’s beating Then I hear that drum and it’s right here And it’s right here Hold the sun, can’t keep it from setting Time rolls on and you can’t fight

Tell Me 03:50

I gave it all away, oh so gladly But the price we had to pay But my eyes were wide and my hands were tied I’d come to find the stories lied And the fire that burns, oh burns inside Doesn’t keep you warm at night Why didn’t you tell me I’m not coming home In the stories they’d sell me I didn’t end up alone Was is so bad, was it so wrong Just to want something else of my own Why didn’t you tell me I’m not coming home Pride pushed me out the door And pride kept me away I’d heard it all before, oh I’d hear it when they say You’ve got that spark, kid, and you’d hate to see that die Then I look around and the green’s turned brown And the fire, it’s burned what’s dry Why didn’t you tell me I’m not coming home In the stories they’d sell me I didn’t end up alone Was is so bad, was it so wrong Just to want something else of my own Why didn’t you tell me I’m not coming home And I gave it all away Why didn’t you tell me Why didn’t you tell me Did you tell me Did you tell me

Dark Days 03:44

Oh, we’re living in dark days And our eyes have not adjusted And we’ve found in our lost ways We’re no further from the sunset In a world full of heartbreak We’ve been holding all the pieces But we didn’t speak what was spoken We didn’t break what was broken And We’re living in dark days And our hearts are undecided Wasting breath cursing darkness Or will we find a match and light it Every moment we’ve been passing Holds a lifetime of injustice And we’re guilty for not stopping it Oh, I don’t want to know I don’t need to know this now Everything’s changing us And everything’s changed in us somehow I don’t want to know I don’t need to know this now Everything’s changed in us ‘cause Oh, oh, we’re living in the dark days We’re living in the dark days People picking their battles Just to win despite the cost When you’re fighting in the darkness All are one but all have lost Oh, we say our eyes have opened And we say we’ve seen the light But we’d rather pray with hands folded Instead of live with arms open Oh, I don’t want to know I don’t need to know this now Everything’s changing us And everything’s changed in us somehow I don’t want to know I don’t need to know this now Everything’s changing us And oh, oh, we’re living in the dark days We’re living in the dark days We can shine a light in the dark days We’re living in the dark days. I just want to know I just need to know this now If everything’s changing us Can everything change again somehow I just want to know I just need to know this now Can everything change for us when Oh, oh, we’re living in the dark days

Heartbeat 04:10

Heart beats like a drum Says a lot ‘bout where I’m from When I thought I was moving on but I’m running still And I’m still running Keep it all inside my head Where I can not escape the damage that I’ve done Tell me will my heart still beat for you When the world has beat me down And I don’t know what I’m running after Will I hear that faithful sound Tell me will my heart still beat for you We’re all sages We’re just stories ripped from pages Where we cannot forget the ashes where we’re from And I’m still longing Just to know how far we’ve come Deepest oceans, where I cannot see it raging Tell me will my heart still beat for you When the world has beat me down And I don’t know what I’m running after Will I hear that faithful sound Tell me will my heart still beat for you Tell me will my heart still beat for you Tell me will my heart still beat for you I’ve been running for far too long And far too long, I’ve been chasing after something Will I find it, will I know
