Flesh Wound (DEMO) 01:18
lyrics
buy track
Like a martyr with a flesh wound You just need somewhere to rest But you laid right down and died Yea you laid right there and died Now the public's got their eyes on your beloved You saw it coming You saw it coming Like a stone without a slingshot You were left out on your own But you wouldn't compromise No you wouldn't compromise Now the public's got their eyes on your beloved You saw it coming You saw it coming

Porcelain (DEMO) 03:07
lyrics

We were told we were just made of porcelain We were told we should just stay inside Then removed from the back-lit Glass cabinet And thrown right into the fire We were young/Life was heavy We only believed In the power of love We gathered our lives from the ashes Save for the humiliation Disenchantment set in Like a lump in our throats With no room for reconciliation No longer young Life's still heavy Lost the power of love Along the way When we were young We were so fragile Naive enough to believe In the power of love

Back Home (DEMO) 02:28
lyrics

Back to my old stomping grounds Been a while since I've been around Everyone's still singing the same tune Excuses for staying poor I moved out from right next door It'll be five years ago this June Never thought I'd be back home Only home I've ever known Guess it isn't home to me no more So what's the sense in catching up You live the life your father loved You swore you'd leave so many times before Back Home Again Back Home Again Back Home Again Back Home Again

Fast Asleep (DEMO) 02:57
lyrics
buy track
I took my love Down by the river I laid it out And told her I forgive her I took my heart Down by the ocean Emotionless Just going through the motions We're so naïve We're so naïve I took my life Living in the city The ground flies up Then suddenly it hits me I'll take my time They told me that they'd miss me I drank the wine Turned the water into whiskey We're so naïve We're so naïve We're so naïve We're fast asleep You believe in the sincerity of words Like a child who's just inherited the earth.

Wild Beating Heart (DEMO) 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Raised inside a matchbox I saw just what I was supposed to see Then one day I stepped out and suddenly it just occurred to me Light? Humans are like goldfish only shaped a little differently You know the sphere of influence determines what we grow to be Right? So Fly Fly me Fly me far away From here In an age where strangers rarely sing together we could be a band But you don't want to know my name and you don't want to hold my hand Why? You would kill for anything and you would die for nothing now Maybe we should start again and try to turn it all around Fight? So Fly Fly me Fly me far away From here This wild beating heart was never free This wild beating heart belongs to me This wild beating heart was never free Belong to me/It belongs to me So Fly Fly me Fly me far away From here

Look Inside, It's Snowing (DEMO) 02:38
lyrics
buy track
I'm an angel in the snow A disproportionate contortion Of the man that you used to know However bright and vibrant Silent snow devoid of violence Is as violent as we could ever know Sweet snow We know Sweet snow Please go You're a stranger on the prowl On the periphery of missing me We're watching snow gather on the ground However sweet and vibrant Silent snow devoid of violence Is as violent as we could ever know Sweet snow We know Sweet snow We know It's a blanket to cover the ugly truth That true winter lives inside me and you It's a blanket to cover the ugly truth That true winter lives inside me and you

Maps (DEMO) 02:41
lyrics
buy track
A map of the stars had been carved in our hearts We laid it out under the tree And subtly she said like a brick to the head No one hates me quite like me We ran We ran Til we couldn't breathe We buried the map with the knives in our backs Our thoughts were designed to deceive Though crippled she spoke like a beacon of hope In the end we just want to believe We swam We swam Into the sea We searched for reprieve from the secrets we keep We ended up back on the shore As many might find in a matter of time The shadows we bottled were yours Bury them deep Bury them deep With me If only we sung with the fire in our lungs We could do something different for once We might do something different for once

Gaudenzia (DEMO) 03:19
lyrics
buy track
How long had I spent under sterile white lights It was summer I went in and stayed overnight They took out my teeth and replaced them with crayons And told me to draw what I saw in the clouds We can sing we can sing We can sing all the time We were bodies of water We were turning to wine There was a thirst in your voice When the elephants arrived And the room filled your eyes With nothing The sun and it's shadows just stared at the ground I was screaming out loud without making a sound The walls were unnerving and the ceilings were the same The nurses were nervously circling the drain We can sing we can sing We can sing all the time We were bodies of water We were turning to wine There was a thirst in your voice When the elephants arrived And the room filled your eyes With nothing I ran fast as I could from the edge of the town To the spot where the blue sky had crashed to the ground The green green grass always seems to go last After leaves turn to fire and the sky turns to ash Now we sing and we sing We sing every day We are bodies of water We are making our way The path of least resistance will no longer suffice We're the river that flows Up the mountain We're the river that flows Up the mountain We're the river that flows Up the mountain Up the mountain Up the mountain

Midstate (DEMO) 02:50
lyrics
buy track
A man who's made of stone stands alone A man who's made of wood still stood still alone A man who's made of sand Is slipping through the hands Of the man who's made of flesh and bone This road can take us anywhere but home Baby we can leave this place if we want to Maybe we can even stay if we don't Maybe we can breathe in place of impromptu Conversations set in stone Maybe if this house just burns down quickly Maybe we can hide out underground Maybe if this stopwatch wasn't choking Fear of failure don't fail me now Fear of failure don't fail me now This road can take us anywhere but home Baby we can leave this place if we want to Maybe we can even stay if we Don't

Mountains (DEMO) 03:30
lyrics
buy track
You were violent like the rest And as the day progressed You sunk your arms Deep into my chest My heart was still at last My lungs were filled with glass My stomach tied like A noose that held my past A storm rose out of you You could carry me Or bury me Alive The choice is up to you You stole the anchor from my bones I floated far from home The mountains took me in And carved me out of stone With no fear of reproach My shadow held a rope The sun might gleam Upon our long lost dream of hope But a storm rose out of you You could carry me Or bury me Alive The choice is up to you The choice is up to you The choice is up to you

Nobodies Home (DEMO) 02:27
lyrics
buy track
I'm not at home Please take your hands off me I can breathe fine on my own Give me away This gut-wrenching silence you can't hide behind it today I'm not afraid I traded my cash in for ashes it all blew away Leave me my name The mistakes that I make are the monsters that take all the blame

Dreaming In Realtime (DEMO) 03:45

Open eyes are on the sun Feed the fire you've become Open eyes are on the sun Feed the fire you've become Am I dreaming again Am I dreaming again Am I dreaming again Am I dreaming again Tragedy was met with love First the fire then the flood Tragedy was met with love First the fire then the flood Cliffs have promised nothing less You your worst and them their best Cliffs have promised nothing less You your worst and them their best Only mountains ever yield To the rivers and the fields Only mountains ever yield To the rivers and the fields Oh the dream is on the rise Oh the dream is on the rise Oh the dream is on the rise Oh the dream is on the rise

Mantra (DEMO) 02:45

All heroes are villains All Bobs are not Dylans All monsters are mentors And mentors are fill-ins For fathers or fixtures Like lampshades and pictures That sit there till we become One of them too
