A Storm You Can't See 03:13
lyrics
When the sky gets dark When the cold moves in Goodbye to better weather When the lightning strikes When the thunder cracks I will be your shelter I will be the ground beneath you I will be the roof above The rain will never fall on her There won't be a wet day again The Sun will never shine on her It's a cloudy day again When the winds are strong When the waves are high Goodbye to calmer water When the seas are rough When the sharks smell blood I will be your vessel I will be the floor below you I will be the deck above The rain will never fall on her There won't be a wet day again The Sun will never shine on her It's a cloudy day again

Treading Water in Winter 00:47
lyrics
Words like wildfire, burning me down Stripped bare, only ashes remain Whisper softly, turning me on Stripped bare, only impulse remains I am standing in the center of a frozen lake Waiting for the ice to break I am pushing boulders up a slope that's far too steep Wondering what you've made of me Moving slowly, dragging this out Stripped bare, only seconds remain Holding tightly, clinging to hope Stripped bare, now nothing remains I am standing in the center of a frozen lake Waiting for the ice to break I am pushing boulders up a slope that's far too steep Wondering what you've made of me Fractured, the ice gives way Sinking, water welcomes me I am drowning in the center of a frozen lake Pounding on the ice above I am chasing boulders down a slope that's far too steep Fighting to stay on my feet

Everything, All at Once 03:39
lyrics
If everything I touch just crumbles into dust Is it me, or is everything just made to break? I am an earthquake, I am a hurricane I am a tornado, a thousand floods and storms I will make you suffer, I will make you wonder: "Why me? Why not someone else? Anyone else?" If everything I see is weathered at the seams Is it me, or is everything just meant to fray? I am an earthquake, I am a hurricane I am a tornado, a thousand floods and storms I will make you suffer, I will make you wonder: "Why me? Why not someone else? Anyone else?" I will bring the wind, I will bring the rain I will bring the thunder, I will bring the end I am an earthquake, I am a hurricane I am a tornado, a thousand floods and storms I will make you suffer, I will make you wonder: "Why me? Why not someone else? Anyone else?"

Fighting Fire with Firewood 03:56
lyrics
You built a pyre in our home Fashioned from all that we owned Doused it in rum and kerosene Then, with the match in your hand You said, "If you love something, set it on fire Watch it melt into you." You said, "If you love something, let it expire Watch it turn into dust You know that this could never last We were lost from the start." Embers are all I have left Flashes of light in the dark Whispers of life on the wind Speak to me in your voice You said, "If you love something, set it on fire Watch it melt into you." You said, "If you love something, let it expire Watch it turn into dust You know that this could never last We were lost from the start You know that I have nothing to give You deserve so much more Let it burn, you should forget what we had Let it die, you should let go of the past." You said, "If you love something, set it on fire Watch it melt into you." You said, "If you love something, let it expire Watch it turn into dust You said, "If you love something, set it on fire."

They Come and They Go 03:48
lyrics
I still remember the way it began It came with a wintery wind Calling my name, I'll never forget That was the last time I felt warm Now the cold is all I know And though the seasons will change I will always be a failure Whatever promise I make I'm a constant, falling farther I've given up the hope it will end The first day of spring came and went Summer is gone, its warmth at an end The colors of fall are erased Now the cold is all I know And though the seasons will change I will always be a failure Whatever promise I make I'm a constant, falling farther Then the cold comes again I wonder if this goes away The ice melts and life begins Is this the end? Days stretch on, and on, and on I wonder if this goes away Nights grow long and leaves fall Is this the end?

The Landscapes You Paint 03:19
lyrics
My dear, in a distant land I left what we had, I want to forget The love that you never gave Did I not deserve what you gave to them? The hope that you might still change It tore me apart, left me bruised and scarred The way that you wanted me Don't act like it's not, I know what you want You got what you want, it wasn't enough You never want it again You got what you want, it's never enough You never want it again My dear, on a distant sea I sailed through a storm that you made for me The spell that you cast on me It slowly wore off, left me thinking clear The lie that you sold me on I took it to heart, I still like to think That you never meant for things To get out of hand, you just lost control You got what you want, it wasn't enough You never want it again You got what you want, it's never enough You never want it again It's not what you want, it never was I was just a way to fill the time And though you'll just be moving on I can never hide the mark you left on me You got what you want, it wasn't enough You never want it again You got what you want, it's never enough You never want it again
