Overtaken 04:26
I learned from the way he lies I know there's something left inside I can't go I learned from the way he spies with eyes closed There's no vacancy He said so Oh how the mighty have fallen to the ground begging, "Don't let me be overtaken I'm over-shaken won't you please let me be alone" I learned from the way he bites I know there's something left in me that won't go I learned from the way he fights without blows There's nothing I can do He said so Oh how the mighty have fallen Oh how the mighty could have been How was I supposed to know he isn't you?

Landslide 04:40
Wading through the river Watching for the fall Waiting on the landslide to bury us all Coming down the mountain Raining mud and ice Searching for the color of my eyes You know you want to need Maybe we got it right this time Hold on Maybe we got it right this time Wade into my river Watch me as I fall Holding back the landslide with our love You know you want to please Maybe we got it You know you want it Maybe we got it right Holding back the landslide Hold on Maybe we got it You know you want it Maybe we got it right Holding back the landslide with our love

It's time to set you down There's no way out of this Burning building except to jump Expect to fly I can't carry you and survive Maybe your silence will save me this time And it's not my place to question you When it's not my arms around you anymore It's not your light that guides me And you are not my home You are like a broken mirror You twisted my vision Made a believer out of me I joined your religion and worshiped you Now you're just another god Who was never there You were never there And it's not my place to question you When it's not my arms around you anymore It's not your light that guides me And you are not my home You are gone All that's left in this broken mirror It's time to set you down There's no way out of this Burning building except to jump Expect to fly

Crazy One 05:37
When I hear God speak I know it's only me You are wondering why He doesn't say anything I look to the moon and pretend I'm landing soon You look to the stars as if they know who you are And I am the crazy one You can't help yourself Your hands are drawn to mine You are holding out for someone better you may never find Certainty is the warning Certainty is the warning I am wrong And I am the crazy one I know it's only me resisting entropy I know it's only me I know it's only you trying not to fall apart I know it's only you When I hear God speak He says Don't you come apart, girl Not on me You know what you are I am the crazy one He says

Burn 05:42
I desire to kill God for what he's done to you Does that make me a sinner Does that mean I should burn the way I do Burn I desire to understand Does that make me a loser Does that mean I shouldn't try the way I do Try Am I so morbid that you would deny me Deny me as real Am I so threatened by your happiness that I cannot see clearly Clearly There must be some sins worth forgiving but they are not yours There must be some sins worth forgiving I desire you to dream of what we could be Does that make me the hero Does that mean I should burn the way I do Burn You would You would deny me as real

How could I believe you Were anything other than A liar and a thief How could I believe If you are my anti-self It doesn’t matter It doesn’t matter how You lose me I suffer this entanglement Of charming ups and strange downs Wishing you would be my end How could I believe you Were anything other than A liar and a thief How could I believe You’d leave me If you are my anti-self It doesn’t matter It doesn’t matter when You annihilate me How could I believe A liar and a thief, a liar and a thief Could annihilate me There’s no other way I’d want to go There’s no other way, no other way, no other way Wishing you would, wishing you would, wishing you would Annihilate me I’m wishing you would, wishing you would There’s no other way I’d want to go

Go ahead, test my faith Push a little bit harder until I'm ready to give in How thin can I get How long will I last without you Turn around and touch me I don't care why or how Did you ever stop to think that maybe I need you now Try my patience once again Push me down deeper until hope gives way Where starving is reborn Where I will live without you Turn around and touch me I don't care why or how Did you ever stop to think that maybe I need you now Hope twists and turns around in circles, around in circles Hope twists and turns around my neck Hope twists and turns around in circles, around in circles Hope twists and turns around I hold on to keep us from falling through the black Too ravenous to notice there is no one here but me Go ahead, test my faith Push a little bit harder Touch me a little bit longer Hit me a little bit stronger Push me a little bit harder Turn around Turn around Touch me Push a little bit harder Turn around

We multiply and divide ourselves.
We add and subtract each other.
We are numbers.
We are meaningless.
Value is a gift we give to each other.
To value is to love.
