1. Leave the Dust Behind
Isolation? Desolation?
You felt that this was the end
You've been mourning the loss
Since the day they buried her my friend
Hibernation Mode far too long
You've got to leave the dust behind
They point until they become
You've got to leave the dust behind
Hibernation mode far too long
You've got to leave the dust behind
They point until they become
You've got to leave the dust behind
Sweep your doorways and keep to yourself
You only talk to those who know
So bottled up, so you bottled up
Is that anyway to deal with death?
Hibernation Mode far too long
You've got to leave the dust behind
You point until you become
You've got to leave the dust behind
Hibernation mode far too long
You've got to leave the dust behind
You point until you become
You've got to leave the dust behind
2. Drive
Behind the wheel-long drive ahead
Hands grip tighter stare gets harder
Leaning on the Lord n' Skynyrd to cope
Cordial and reckless I've lost all hope
"Death only happens to others"
Crack the mold, that ain't me anymore
In the mirror I see the ruins
Speeding highway keeps me alive
In the mirror I see the ruins
They follow me close behind
I can't stop, can't look back
Doesn't matter where I go
Can't have the thoughts catch up to me
In the mirror I see the ruins
Speeding highway keeps me alive
In the mirror I see the ruins
They follow me close behind
Stay on the road
Can't lose my mind no more
Stay on the road
Can't lose my mind no more
Stay on the road
I've got to drive
Stay on the road
I've got the drive
Drive.
3. It Was the Day She Died
.and the flower unraveled
As the petals hit the earth
My fragile girl is taken away
As I beat the walls screaming in tears.
It was the day she died.
Another hole in me
It was the day we died.
Do you know what it's like to lose the one?
The one you said you couldn't live without?
I walk in circles with an empty stare
Looking for you everywhere I go
It was the day she died
It was the day we died.
My flower unraveled
And her petals hit the earth
I'll never be the same without you
No, I'll never be the same.
4. I'm Gonna Show You
I told you
You couldn't beat me just the other day
I spit at you
As you try to walk away
Stupid fool
Don't you know that I will walk through you?
Stamp out and erased
And I'll make a wreck of you!
I'm Gonna Show You!
Test the boundaries for so long every time
Untouchable? The road gets worn with time
Beware!
Heed my warning
Don't you think it falls on your deaf ears?
Can't you see that I won't stop until I see your tears?
Your world crumbles as you fall
It's all too late for you now
I'll scare you straight after it's way too late
I'll shine a light on something so ugly
It's your fate
I'm gonna show you!
5. Got To Get Through This
I'm at a loss
I can't come up for air
The celebrations aren't the same without you there
I stay quiet but I want to scream
The circle was broken the absence is felt
Please help me cope
Got to get through this.
Another death another loss
Another death another loss
I can't take what's been taken away
It's just a task to make it day to day
I feel like I'm losing my mind
I feel all alone
I sit in silence
Does anybody else feel this at all?
Got to get through this.
6. What These Eyes Have Seen
These hands reach to fix all of those around
But inside there's a silent scream that doesn't make a sound
Buried now are the dreams that were once glory bound
Inside there's a tortured scream but still no sound
Are you trying to fix the world?
As you swim in misery
If only I could show you
What these eyes have seen
A search for your soul has left you so unfound
Your battle with darkness has left you gagged and bound
Do you think you're swimming as we watch you drown
As you reach for peace when there's no one around
Are you trying to fix the world?
As you swim in misery
If only I could show you
What these eyes have seen
7. See Me Through
It's hard to believe that you are no longer here
It's even harder to face it's been another year
We cling tighter as we try to cope
I wish you here
I'm beginning to lean,
Bending and splitting at the seems
See me through
I'm drowning everyday
See me through
I'm so desperate to speak with you again
The urge to join you begins, but never ends
Can you help me? It's getting hard to breathe
The sound of your voice
The depth of you words
Looking for a sign
Where are you now to see me through
I'm drowning everyday
See me through
It's hard to believe that you are no longer here
It's even harder to face it's been another year
Looking for you
Where are you now to see me through?
See me through
8. Never Crawl
Sometimes you must surrender to win
You've got to let it consume you
Close the door, seal it tight, keep it in
So it surrounds you
I always have a little more to tell you
When I haven't seen you in a while
Will it consume you?
Will you stand tall?
They assume if you lean you will fall
Never show them
Never Crawl!
Some people have watched this inferno
And pray it never happens to them
Without enemies, you're soft in the middle
Those without worries are the ones that you hate
They point fingers and try to belittle
They'll understand after it's too late
Will it consume you?
Will you stand tall?
They assume if you lean you will fall
Never show them
Never Crawl!
They want to see you
They want to bleed you
Never Crawl
They want to test you
But they detest you
Never Crawl.
9. What Was
They greet with hands, they greet with smiles
And stories of yesterday
Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry
Sometimes I cringe at their words
But that ain't me anymore
What was and what use to be
What was will never be
Do you fell like me?
Feel so lost, so lost today
The dirt that brought you joy
Is now the piper you have to pay
What was and what use to be
What was will never be
A different look, a different view
You can almost read it on my face
These tired eyes look to hide
What doesn't fit my skin any more
Can't seem to find that somewhere
That I've been looking for
What was and what use to be
What was will never be
Do you fell like me?
Feel so lost, so lost today
The dirt that brought you joy
Is now the piper you have to pay
10. It Was the Day He Died
The day they buried the blood
Was the day he became a man
He never wanted it this way
So many things left to say
A part of him died, got torn away
When he buried his Dad
He sits in silence begging for sleep
Torn between tears and madness within
What a fool I use to be
It took his death for me to see
What a fool I use to be
I watched others cry in misery
What a fool I use to be
I understand 'cause it happened to me
There's a different look in his eyes
Deep down inside this man is destroyed
The wave has hit harder this time
In a zone he can't hear what they say
It'll never be what it was
It's not the same since he buried his Dad
Invincible it wouldn't happen to him
But in the end, we buried the blood.
What a fool I use to be
It took his death for me to see.
It Was The Day He Died.
No one knows, no one knows
But I know!
11. Can't Turn Back Anymore
Try to fill the time with anything I see
Can't sit around, my misery
Don't celebrate, I just keep moving on
The sites and sounds that open the door
In a haze, in a blaze in a blur
The weeks, and months, and years they start to burn
Can't shake the tears, but I've got to go on
Can't shake the fears, but I have to go on
You can't turn back anymore
The memories and embers never fade away
In my heart I will keep them alive
Cause I know that we'll meet in the end
And I know that we're not alone
The woes of others can be worse than your own
Dig down deep and let out the grief
They'll be a time you can leave it behind
But for now it's ok to cry.
You can't turn back anymore
12. One Last Sunset With You
If I could just hold you one last time.
If I could just hear your voice again.
Just to hear you say my name
Just to hold your hand as we watch the setting sun.
One Last Sunset With You
That's All I Ask
The hands of the world reached out to you
But you were just somewhere else
We all tried to save you
But you were someone else.
One Last Sunset With You
That's All I Ask
I want to cling to the old, familiar and the free
But when I reached for you it was no longer there for me
I can't remember a day when the news wasn't there
Knowing that your gone is our burden to bare
I only saw black that day
Will I ever see your colors again?
One Last Sunset With You
That's All I Ask.
