Darkness told a lie
Overcame my eyes
Drank me into the maw of slumber
Now if I find a light
Will it be in time
Or will the waves keep forcing me under?
Tonight I'm swimming to the stars
It's too high up, I'm too far gone
And this is way too hard
Tonight I'm swimming to the stars
'Cause in my dreams I can believe
They're really not that far
(Don't you want to feel a little more alive
And live with open eyes?)
Mortal, come choose life
Call the dawn to end the night
To shed new light on landscapes crumbling
Show me your reality
(If you can believe then you will find
You're just in time)
Yield up every doubt
That holds you
Sail the skies
And breathe beyond the blue

Don’t you know just what you’re made of?
Child I see you there
Regretting all you couldn’t be
A fearful wonder when you wake up
‘Cause you were unaware
That you have a destiny
Nail the lid shut on your past
The casket for your doubts
Who you're meant to be is yours for finding out
Don’t be satisfied with a compromise
When you realize that you’re worth so much more
Don’t be scared to try; raise your colours high
If you don’t then I’m afraid you’ll never know
You’re a child of eternity
Seen by Divine eyes
Bought by sacrifice
And led into the light
Nail your colours to the mast
And let the whole world know
You’re not scared to face the danger on your own
Don’t be satisfied with a compromise
When you realize that you’re worth so much more
Don’t be scared to try, raise your colours high
If you don’t then I’m afraid you’ll never know
Someday you will wake, and you won’t run away
Don’t be satisfied with a compromise
When you realize that you’re worth so much more
Don’t be scared to try, raise your colours high
If you don’t then I’m afraid you’ll never know
Don't you want to feel a little more alive
And live with open eyes?
(Show me your reality)
If you can believe then you will find
You're just in time
Yield up every doubt
That holds you
Sail the skies
And breathe beyond the blue
Someday you will wake, and you won't run away

Show me my hubris and my abuses
All my excuses become elusive
Another broken vow today
Another price I couldn’t pay
Another nail in hands that save
I let my promise break
Oh, it’s burning in my mind
How I can’t face all my mistakes or bring them to the light
No, I’m running out of time
And I can’t face my judgment day if I can’t make this right
My failures looming; it's all consuming
Always assuming my flaws have doomed me
Another prayed I fail to pray
Another sorry I can't say
I am the blemish on my faith
The servant of the snake
Oh, it’s burning in my mind
How I can’t face all my mistakes or bring them to the light
No, I’m running out of time
And I can’t face my judgment day if I can’t make this right
It’s time to go; terror grips my throat
Death calls, I know just why the bell tolls
I stand alone at the judgment throne
Guilt breaks these bones
There’s no way that I could atone
Oh, it’s burning in my mind
How I can’t face all my mistakes or bring them to the light
No, I’m running out of time
And I can’t face my judgment day if I can’t make this right
Oh, I can’t believe my eyes
But I’ve seen grace replace mistakes with perfect sacrifice
And though I fall a thousand times
I will remain to rise again and stand to face the light

Love I need I give away
Love in vain – the price I pay
Love I need I give away
I’ve trained my heart for this mistake
In my disgrace
I watched you fade away
I watched you wave and then I forgot your face
Bewildered minds
Grasp at the wasted time
Weary from wondering why I tried to make you mine
Oh my soul
How have you grown cold
I siphoned passion from another day
Another face
Another one I almost chased
Another one that got away
I let you fade
Love I need I give away
Love in vain – the price I pay
Love I need I give away
I’ve trained my heart for this mistake
Evermore becoming fake
It’s a sin sick wish I make
One of many hearts I’ll break
I’ve trained my heart for this mistake
Awake before it so desires
My heart lights me with this dark fire
I make believe sincerity
I forced my heart to fall in love
Before it was ready
Love I need I give away
Love in vain – the price I pay
Love I need I give away
I’ve trained my heart for this mistake
Evermore becoming fake
It’s a sin sick wish I make
One of many hearts I’ll break
I’ve trained my heart for this mistake
Regret knows my name,
Regret knows my face,
My hand,
Your heart torn through your ribcage
And through skin
I never meant for you to truly let me in

Today I watched a day go sailing by
A look of longing in tomorrow’s eyes
For yesterday
I chased it desperately at anchor speed
And let my rudder tangle in the weeds
Then night fell on the sea
And my ship sank
The stars are swept out of their place
While I just watch them flee
It’s like the heavens rushing over me
I’m gone, I’m gone
I’m gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent
Time like a torrent starts to pour
Faster than I can see
I feel my shadows catching up to me
I’m gone, I’m gone
I’m gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent
Do you feel time pull like the undertow?
The dread of everything that dwells below?
It’s bottomless
I see the lights from where I want to be
I feel the gravity that still impedes
But just you wait and see
I’ll cut through it
The stars are swept out of their place
While I just watch them flee
It’s like the heavens rushing over me
I’m gone, I’m gone
I’m gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent
Time like a torrent starts to pour
Faster than I can see
I feel my shadows catching up to me
I’m gone, I’m gone
I’m gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent
(Guitar solo - Maxwell Kozen)
You took the anchor’s bait
Clinging on to doubt’s dead weight
You could have walked on waves
The stars are swept out of their place
While I just watch them flee
It’s like the heavens rushing over me
I’m gone, I’m gone
I’m gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent
Time like a torrent starts to pour
Faster than I can see
I feel my shadows catching up to me
I’m gone, I’m gone
I’m gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent
