Blue Sky 03:50
Lyrics: Look toward the sky And let your spirit fly Close your eyes You can see more clearly Head in the clouds Let your feet leave the ground If only for a moment You can reach beyond what you see Forget what you can't do Affirm that you can Break free from this reality The sun may remind you Your dreams are blue sky You will never believe until you try Even in the dark You can follow the stars If you're led by your heart You will keep on going This life is too short To just stay where you are So just open the door You can reach beyond what you see Forget what you can't do Affirm that you can Break free from this reality The sun may remind you Your dreams are blue sky You will never believe until you try Blue sky ​

Chasm 03:22
Lyrics: Living in my own memories Effervescent glow I can not let them go Yearning for a time machine Go back to the days when all was better or so it seemed I stop and ask myself why I cling to days gone by Because I know I've got a lot going on for me And I'm happy to be alive I just can't dismiss the chasm you left on my inside Phantoms haunting my restless dreams I know I made a mistake but your smile was a stake Straight through my heart and in my soul I realize now that it was better to let you go I stop and ask myself why I cling to days gone by Because I know I've got a lot going on for me And I'm happy to be alive I just can't dismiss the chasm I'm happy to be alive I just can't dismiss the chasm I'm happy to be alive I just can't dismiss the chasm you left on my inside

Go Figure 04:22
Lyrics: I build my confidence up just to be let down But I swear that won't happen this time so why can't I turn back around I've said so many things I thought would give it way Yet you stand here today telling me you like him that way Can't you see what you're doing to me I don't know how you can't hear my heart beating And I don't know how you haven't figured it out I don't know how you can't see that my heart is bleeding And I don't know how there could be any doubt Any doubt that I love you I want to tell you how I feel but I think it's too late I've known you for all of my life but now I'm stuck with this fate Will I ever get the chance to make you mine So tell me what am I supposed to do how can I get through And will you ever love me too I don't know how you can't hear my heart beating And I don't know how you haven't figured it out I don't know how you can't see that my heart is bleeding And I don't know how there could be any doubt Any doubt Any doubt Any doubt that I love you I don't know how you can't hear my heart beating And I don't know how you haven't figured it out I don't know how you can't see that my heart is bleeding And I don't know how there could be any doubt I don't know how you can't hear my heart beating And I don't know how you haven't figured it out

The Burn 03:56
Lyrics: Heavy handed rose in bloom I am stricken I am stone Knowing what her words can do I won't fall before her throne And she calls to me so fervently As a spark she'll start a fire Though I want for temporary gain I remember the burn Am I lost without her here Standing in a hall of mirrors No I won't be held by fear I'll break the glass I will disappear And she calls to me so fervently As a spark she'll start a fire Though I want for temporary gain I remember the burn I remember the burn I remember the burn And she calls to me so fervently As a spark she'll start a fire Though I want for temporary gain I remember the burn I remember the burn I remember the burn

Idle 03:12
Lyrics: A couple lines or more and I'll call it a night Crafting a melody that I think sounds alright But I'm not satisfied just singing to myself So why can't I work out enough to show everybody else I really want to know where I'm going from here It seems I've been running blind and I don't want to waste my life There's so much I want to do if only I'd come through But I sit here idle My father told me son you've got to have some drive But my foot's on the brake and I'm checking the engine light I know I'm capable of so much more Than just sitting looking at an open door I really want to know where I'm going from here It seems I've been running blind and I don't want to waste my life There's so much I want to do if only I'd come through But I sit here idle I really want to know where I'm going from here It seems I've been running blind and I don't want to waste my life There's so much I want to do if only I'd come through But I sit here idle I really want to know where I'm going from here It seems I've been running blind and I don't want to lose my life There's so much I want to do if only I'd come through But I sit here Yes I sit here I sit here idle

Now I See 04:47
Lyrics: Our love was strong but my faith in us was blind My world outside of you pushed us apart I couldn't see that it wasn't you but me And the silence filled the rift between our hearts And there's no bitter words between us We will make it on our own, there's no shame in letting go I have to say I didn't notice when I let you slip away Only now do I see I see that I've changed We carried on but the magic had all gone Looking at each other through a thin disguise We should've known that house was not a home And when the mask has faded we will realize That there's no bitter words between us We will make it on our own, there's no shame in letting go I have to say I didn't notice when I let you slip away Only now do I see I see that I've changed There's a part of me that screams what have you done But I'm not giving up, no I'm just moving on And there's no bitter words between us We will make it on our own, there's no shame in letting go I have to say I didn't notice when I let you slip away Only now do I see I see that I've changed And there's no bitter words between us We will make it on our own, there's no shame in letting go I have to say I didn't notice when we let it slip away Only now do I see I see that I've I see that I've changed
