"I Feel Alright" I'm killing the spirit I'm ruining the moment and I don't care no I just don't care We're killing the miracles and the consequences of this are two fold the better man dies and doesn't get what's right the poor man dies and doesn't get what's right I feel alright in my bed but down the street and to the right there's a homicide tonight Stained in red do my eyes deceive me? am I unbelieving? 'cause when I said yes you can bet what you'll bet that I meant what I said every word I'm not that naive things won't get better my society is under the weather you hold the world in your hands so come, execute your plan

Red is Gray 03:38
"Red is Gray" Life begun what is truth slip of tongue with no proof stand around we don't care lost or found we're just here Joining the song to believe means belong we're just here Put yourself in your shoes break the mindset that you use bad is good when I should red is gray, your insane Joining the song to believe means belong we're just here dancing around to that awful sound we're just here Pick a day and mark it off grass is green but then it stops purposeful in finding rest yet the morning comes again the morning sun is dim do do do do you know who your maker is?

Oh. 02:50
"Oh." The water broke and through the smoke fire burnt out I saw the wave making it's way so tall and proud but I walked on the fire's gone and now I'm down I thought you said you would set a standard and not let the floods come in I thought you meant I could have my way and ignore all the signs that point to my own good So I was wrong all along I hope I've learned foundations laid on sand and clay will make a way for worlds of pain
4.
Timid Lips 03:48
“Timid Lips” I see travesty with my eyes it’s coming my direction indirectly they despise me but I’m kind of scared since you’re over there waiting for an answer you say “are gonna say anything when the mockery is rising” Well it’s a tough decision but I understand where you’re coming from or at least I thought I did until you made it uncomfortable for me I don’t want to comply but I don’t want you to leave Shake me from the car wreck I’ve become heal me from being deaf and being dumb am I so far away that even a phone call wouldn’t work I think you gave a ring but I chose not to pick up since I was scared of being heard I’m so scared I’m so scared since I saw the truth but my mouth wouldn’t move when directly they despise you Shake me from the car wreck I’ve become heal me from being deaf and being dumb am I so far away that even a phone call wouldn’t work I think you gave a ring but I chose not to pick up since I was scared of being heard I’m so scared I’m so scared since I saw the truth but my mouth wouldn’t move I’m so scared
5.
Trip Him Up 04:12
"Trip Him Up" Trip him up and don’t delay Pick your words and then rephrase ‘Cause this one’s pretty tough But I think He’ll come around Just don’t lay the seduction down Trip him up and don’t delay Put a big fat smile on your face Bat your eyes and shine your shoes Keep it and I know he will lose Make your move before it’s too late Do your best to keep his friends away Pour on the shame to keep him from tellin’ Keep him awake at night Because he deserves to die And so do I But trip him up and don’t delay Stress him out until he caves Jezebel you’re the best You know how to arrest Hearts of men to the death Ripping their hearts from their chests
6.
Anyway 03:29
“Anyway” The treetops sing with birds and things all the while my stomach lies outside of me with knots the size of Ice age Ice I’m freezing to death with worry and unrest among the best of those that lose control the competition for the prize is ever there but never mine I’d try to steal but that’s a crime All I ever do is just what you said you don’t want me too can I rest my eyes ‘cause at this point it looks like I’m gonna die anyway I have pushed and I have pried gone the way I thought was right but ended up without a compass to accompany on my journey to the pit of hell or so it seems Still, awake, death is my fate unless God almighty finds a better way for me because the narrow road was smaller than I envisioned it to be All I ever do is just what you said you don’t want me too can I rest my eyes ‘cause at this point it looks like I’m gonna die anyway all I want from you is the truth on my terms and permission to do what I want to do
7.
Knock Knock 04:21
"Knock Knock" After all we’ve been through I’d think you’d know I’d never leave you Not in a million years Not for a million tears We’ve cried Though I stand behind the door if you let me in I will appear before you so let me through cause you thought by teaching or maybe speaking some good things it’d be a good thing but I say no I want your soul I say no let it go I’d think you’d know I’d never leave you Not in a million years Not for a million tears We’ve cried Don’t you remember why I died? Yet you're so cold inside Although I've stand behind the door if you let me in I will appear before you although I've sewn in pain it's my joy 'cause your my gain
8.
“Let’s Be Serious” Why don’t you cry on the inside but shrug it off as if it’s fine ‘cause everybody knows the times are to fast to do something slow like that And seriously do you think you’ll be taken for sincerity that kind of thing is for soap operas and even those are considered a joke Small talk, this is the result of years of staring at the wall we call television has taught us to laugh it all off like the drunks do without vision But where is my relationship with my father? Oh how you long to find your home when the room is empty you had a good laugh but now that’s past and the peace you never had is gone and it kind of makes you mad ‘cause it’s gone Why don’t you cry on the inside but shrug it off as if it’s fine ‘cause everybody’s souls are just big black holes begging the question Where is my relationship with my father?
9.
“Consequential Relief” Were we not all raised? to not believe everything have we not all died? and if we did is there room for life? and if we did I think death is disguised Trying to make us believe the Life is such a hard thing but if you let it go then you will finally know just what heaven’s like oh it feels so right Have we not all heard that what makes sense is not absurd but I propose a change that what makes sense may not fit in our brains Consequential relief has brought me to my knees and the final word of the truth is heard that if we let it go we’ll finally know just what heaven’s like oh it feel so right If we let it go I know death will show it’s face
10.
Wedding Gown 03:55
"Wedding Gown" Drawn to the way her gown will display cascades of bright white light reflecting from the inside eternity’s past will have brought her at last to the pinnacle of her unending love sent from above Stay true my dear you’re a second away open your ears and I’ll give you understanding that out of the stars there’s not one that’s too far for me to give to you Frozen in place no veil on her face she’s drawn to the way he’s drawn to her so she thinks is this a dream? the softest whisper says Stay true my dear you’re a second away open your ears and I’ll give you understanding that all through the night I will be your guide the evidence of your wedding gown Out of the stars there's not one to far all through the night I will be your guide faithful and true, I'll be to you the evidence of your wedding gown
