1. GHOST OF MY DESIGN

This island is more like a fortress, sadistic in it's ways and torturous.
Surrounded by walls made of water, imprisons our nature, manifests it's silhouette.
And we can walk until our feet fall off, we can run until our bodies have nothing left.
And far isn't ever far enough, it'll never be enough.

This is our chance to write a chapter,
Here inscribed "Today, we'll break beyond the boundaries..."
And if light will fade with time, with the ghost of my design.
This is, this is, this is our chance to leave this place behind.

How far can we cast the line straight to the point that's so symmetrical.
How long until the pattern breaks, the order takes a turn for the worse.
We're left to write the last regards of those who never tried.

So trace the fate that brought us here.
Across state lines, redemption calls.
Border to border, water to water, sending signals through the air.
revealing evidence so evident it's clear.


2. NEWPORT

Stable eyes rest upon me in your glory,
I believe in fate of all the masses,
In lies, deceit, as truth surpasses.
To break a habit, to save a life,
These words are burdens to your ears.
Even though I know you're listening,
And I know that you can hear it,
Give it up before it all is all you are.

Save it for your last breath,
I'm calling for a chance that you will be saved.

Take your time as you find a way,
To prove the world that you are more than this.
Cause I've seen what you're really worth,
And this fire inside is burning out.
For a chance, for a second,
Step outside yourself and see.
There's more than meets the eye,
The only one who knows the truth is me.

And there is something to be said about the way you left,
This is abandonment at it's best,
And I'm not the only one whose suffering,
From this departure from yourself.
A cry for help, a cry to anyone who might be listening,
And I know that this is growing old [2x]


3. ESCAPE FROM BEAR ISLAND

I'm calling back to tell the world,
So all the earth can hear me sing.

And with my stealth intentions,
My worst of ways
While your back is turned
I'll make my escape.

This is a chance to break your pattern,
You're wasting your time.

I'm waiting for an answer.

Time taker, you won't give up on me,
I'm giving up, I'm giving up,
I'm giving everything, giving everything up.

How can you live with yourself
In the hell you created?
(this is)
How can you live with yourself
(a chance)
In the hell you created?

Can't you tell that it's over now
And you're all found out,
You're on your way back home.


4. THE WEATHER PORTRAIT

This world grows three shades darker.
As this tunnel collapses into debris.
And everything turns black and white.
As bone meets the earth the truth meets sky.

Is this what souls are made of?

Feel the wind as the night sets in, as you guide the light, with hopes of reaching home.
Just to keep you moving to keep proving, there's hopes of reaching home.

As these gates they open now I see my life before my eyes.
Escape from my body as projected on silver,
As a shadow of time made to watch over myself.
Just a whisper in the wind,
A shadow casted on the wall
I remain transparent to the world.
This weather portrait paints life on canvas,
Contrasting colors with these eyes.

Bring back this light so that I can start again.
