Babel
“And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons. And I know that choices color all I’ve done. But I’ll explain it all to the watchman’s son. I ain't never lived a year better spent in love.”
“I'll know my weakness, know my voice. And I'll believe in grace and choice.”
“So come down from your mountain and stand where we’ve been. You know our breath is weak and our body thin. Press my nose up to the glass around your heart. I should’ve known I was weaker from the start. You’ll build your walls and I will play my bloody part to tear, tear them down.”

Whispers in the Dark
“Spare my sins for the ark. I was too slow to depart. I'm a cad but I'm not a fraud. I'd set out to serve the Lord.”
“Spare my sins for the ark. I was too slow to depart. I'm a cad but I'm not a fraud. I'd set out to serve the Lord.”
I Will Wait
“Now I'll be bold as well as strong, and use my head alongside my heart. So tame my flesh and fix my eyes, a tethered mind freed from the lies.”
“Raise my hands, paint my spirit gold. Bow my head, keep my heart slow.”

Holland Road
“And I will not tell the thoughts of hell that carried me home from the Holland Road with my heart like a stone. I put up no fight to your callous mind and from your corner you rose to cut me down. You cut me down.”
“But I'll still believe though there's crack's, you'll see. When I'm on my knees I'll still believe. And when I've hit the ground, neither lost nor found. If you'll believe in me, I'll still believe.”

“You saw
my pain washed out in the rain and broken glass, saw the blood run from my
veins. But you saw no fault, no cracks
in my heart.”
“So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light… But I will hold as long as you like. Just promise me we'll be alright.”
“So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light… But I will hold as long as you like. Just promise me we'll be alright.”
“But I'd
be yours if you'd be mine.”
“Stretch out my life and pick the seams out. Take what you like but close my ears and eyes or watch me stumble over and over.”
“I had done wrong, you built your tower. But call me home and I will build a throne and wash my eyes out never again.”
“And in the middle of the night I may watch you go. There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I'll have grown. There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown. You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show. But I'd be yours if you'd be mine.”

Lover's
Eyes
Love was
kind for a time. Now just aches and it
makes me blind. This mirror holds my
eyes too bright. I can't see the others
in my life.”
“Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead. Should you shake my ash to the wind, Lord, forget all of my sins. Oh, let me die where I lie ‘neath the curse of my lover's eyes.”
“Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead. Should you shake my ash to the wind, Lord, forget all of my sins. Oh, let me die where I lie ‘neath the curse of my lover's eyes.”
“A
constant reminder of where I can find her, a light that might give up the way is
all that I’m asking, for without her I’m lost.
Oh my love, don’t fade away.”
“So I watched the world tear us apart, a stoic mind and a bleeding heart. You never seen my bleeding heart.”
“So I watched the world tear us apart, a stoic mind and a bleeding heart. You never seen my bleeding heart.”
Hopeless Wanderer
“So when your hope's on fire but you know your desire, don't hold a glass over the flame. Don't let your heart grow cold. I will call you by name. I will share your road.”
“But do not tell me all is fine. When I lose my head I lose my spine.”

“I will learn to love the skies I'm under.”
Broken Crown
“The pull on my flesh was just too strong, stifled the choice and the air in my lungs. Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie ‘cause when I open my body I breathe a lie.”
“Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace?”

Not With Haste
“We will run and scream. You will dance with me. They'll fulfill our dreams and we'll be free. And we will be who we are. And they'll heal our scars. Sadness will be far away.”
“And I will love with urgency but not with haste.”
“We will run and scream. You will dance with me. They'll fulfill our dreams and we'll be free. And we will be who we are. And they'll heal our scars. Sadness will be far away.”

For Those
Below (Bonus Track)
“Helpless, she lies across the stairs haunting your days, consuming your prayers. There will be healing but don't force this girl to stand as she's counting the ceilings with pale voice and trembling hands.”
“Wanting change but loving her just as she lies is the burden of the man who's built his life on love.”

The Boxer
(Paul Simon Cover) [Bonus Track]
“Such are promises, all lies and jest. Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.”

Where Are You
Now (Bonus Track)
“As we walked the city streets, you never said a word. When we finally sat down
your eyes were full of spite. I was desperate, I was weak. I could not put up a fight.”
“As we walked the city streets, you never said a word. When we finally sat down
