Monsters
You and I we traveled here and willingly we shared our fears
And patterns we repeated over time
I gave you my honest thoughts and you brought down your broken walls
Abandoned our previous declines
And we continue carefully and keep a pretense running
'Til we crash into another trap again
Return back to our talks as if there's a detail we have missed
And thinking that we'll find it this time
Chorus:
But I let go too suddenly for the pace that we've been following
And let it all come crashing to the ground
But you hid other things from me and in the maze I couldn't see
The monsters that followed you around
And I surrender constantly unsteady as my words might be
And faltering in the spotlight now
If I thought it would make a change I'd tear it down with my bare hands
And rebuild it back up from the ground
But you phrase your words carefully and own up to nothing
As we constantly digress
Going backwards lose our ground more is lost and nothing's found
And we're back to the same as before
Chorus
Bridge:
And in our broken state we go
Following the knots we made through each twist and turn
Of this Labyrinth
Chorus
Bridge
Round and round and back again
Reaching out, reaching
Holding out for something more
Settle not for this is war
Coming back, coming back again

Sight
I heard a voice as I stayed
Calling me to come away
I made a choice and I prayed for a way
To make that call change
And when you came to me I said the truth
Of all the fears of my youth
And holding back the call that strayed from you
I walked down paths that no one knew
And when you came to me I said the truth
Of all the fears of my youth
And when I walked a road that's far from new
In wandering darkness I found you
I found my sight and I walked away
Seeing all was changed
And in mind's eye I held your gaze
Asking me to stay
And when I turned around I said to you
I hold my ground in the truth
And when I lost the fear from my eyes
I gained the clearness of the light
And as I turned away you said to me
You're holding back your memory
And now I've learned from my mistakes
And through the pain I found grace
And now I hold in my past
The reasons for my weak grasp
And now I hold in my heart
The answers from my start
I found my sight
And I walked away
Seeing all was changed

Wait for Words
I lack experience or age
My words are kept to a page
My doubts are what lead me the most
Repetition of my dreams are my ghosts
My visions are swiftly leaving me
But come back as constant memory
My work waits for me to be done
But my effort needs the strength of more than one
Chorus:
And I wait for words but in the silence there is nothing
And I know for me there is a void that must be filled
If only with my dreaming
If only with my dreaming
My coming is yet as not
As I'm battered by my thoughts
If I knew how I'd go the extra mile
Fatigue keeps me still all this while
You praise the false artist with your words
With dread the compliments are heard
Shadows in the light are calling out your name
Reminders of the lies in your ways
And I wait for words but in the silence there is nothing
And I know for me there is a void that I must fill
If only with my dreaming
If only with my dreaming
And I wait for words but in the silence there is nothing
And I know for me there is a void that I must fill
If only with my dreaming
If only with my dreaming

My Shouts
You gave me the scars that just won't fade away
And your hand held the knife
That threatened to slay
And your words told me a new meaning of death
But your actions they spoke
Clear and louder than threats
And why make me your confidant
For all the words you spoke
Soon channeled all my thoughts
Oh all the pain of a love gone to waste
But the sum of all desires
Was outweighed by the risk
But why in that kiss not smother all the lies
Why leave me with the fault
From which you were blind
And I still stood for you waiting at the tracks
I gave you the strength
You just couldn't give back
And I waited for you at the end of the line
And though you wanted me you still weren't mine
One wasn't enough for you in your lost mind
You'll still need a friend to conquer all your doubts
But me you've gone and lost
Wandering in the drought
Your demons they screamed
Louder than my shouts
