I see you in the wind I hear you in the colors Colors crashing, calling me to come alive Falling into a new era, but I’m human just the same Doubts and victories too tangible to turn and tuck away Am I to blame For this impending rain? In my head, you’re by my side So just convince my eyes Can we run forever Share tears and tremors To chase embracing life? I see you in the wind I hear you in the colors Colors crashing, calling me to come alive Salvation in the sky I hear you in the colors Colors crashing, calling me to come alive Fade out, nobody asked for it, but we get it anyway Is there meaning in loss? Cuz I’m at a loss for words when I feel your pain No time for blame Just help me pass through this storm Hope’s the timbre of your voice And purpose is a choice Higher than these towers In darkest hours Come meet me in the clouds I see you in the wind I hear you in the colors Colors crashing, calling me to come alive Salvation in the sky I hear you in the colors Colors crashing, calling me to come alive I can still believe If you meet me where I am I’ll find your peace If you meet me where I see you in the wind I hear you in the colors Colors crashing, calling me to come alive Salvation in the sky I hear you in the colors Colors crashing, calling me to come alive

Deon 03:44
When I woke up I was in dullness Were all these dreams just visions I made up, or promises? Spinning it always comes back around To the part where I move forward while my love is backing out So I break down these walls Why does change come at the cost of abandoning all? No Expressionless all the while But with time I can tell you’re trying to hold back a smile, oh Can I find my place in this essence all around us? (Holding on to this single moment) (Never quit and I’ll never change my mind) When you meet my gaze, and my feet can’t feel the ground, guess (Piecing back all these shreds) It’s safe to say I’m not going anywhere I’m sure you’ll find I’ve got a way of never backing down even when I probably should And I probably should So if you’re in, it’s a perfect mix, we can Tear it down (Look at us, what a beautiful balance to) Tear it down I think we’re ready for this My fears face up in the fog looking like yours And no one seems to know if it’s the future or a metaphor But maybe that’s the trick To overcoming it Cuz you keep swirling through my mind, but I don’t mind it Can I find my place in this essence all around us? (Holding on to this single moment) (Never quit and I’ll never change my mind) When you meet my gaze, and my feet can’t feel the ground, guess (Piecing back all these shreds) It’s safe to say We’re all alone And I’m running on adrenaline, yeah I’m running on So just let me know When you need me to cave it in With all this love and this rage in the same place They try to touch you, I don’t know when to stop With all this love and this rage in the same place They try to touch you, I don’t know when to stop (Stop now) Square up all you cowards (Back out) Who’s the tough one, now? (Shut up) Eat your hate, all you cowards (Back out) Exit stage, count them out Can I find my place in this essence all around us? To say When you meet my gaze, and my feet can’t feel the ground, guess It’s safe to say you’re safe with me

Your universe changed all at once And now I know you hate surprises Can't say I blame you When the life you had Was the warmth of sun But now it's freezing cold out here Everyone around says we're the hope But the way you sigh says you deny it You don't know who you are But now it's shifting into the ambition you sought Cuz you are not what you thought Open up and find it The heart you hold is quiet But it's the reason we survive our fears The reason I'm still standing here Your bravery is endless But when it leaves you breathless Just rest And wait And I'll say It's all Okay Heavy eyes, unsteady I thought I should push you away I thought I should hide all my pain So I could save you from me I know you're still afraid But you spoke up anyway And now we're floating from the fear and loathing we fought Because you are not what you thought And my friend, months have passed us and still I forget you're so young Though you're small and soft-spoken, well, you leave a grand impression Now it's shifting into the ambition you sought and And we're floating from the fear and loathing we fought it's A mess but a blessing with lessons it taught And I'm still grateful whether we make it or not Just remember in shadows when you're feeling caught, that You are not what you thought I won’t forget I won’t forget you Open up and find it The heart you hold is quiet But it's the reason we survive our fears The reason I'm still standing here Your bravery is endless But when it leaves you breathless Just rest And wait And I'll say It's all Okay (I won’t forget you)

Dream World 04:53
Enter Waning while I watch my memories fading Washed out, extra black in the shading Gonna need a mirror if we're gonna be blaming Gonna need a sword for the peace they're proclaiming Wait Could've sworn I was the good guy Mug shot, make sure you get my good side I'm not a threat, just saying that you could die One look, six words: hope you have a good night No one I know knows me, and that's okay Maybe it's not, hey, tell me if I scare you I'm gonna sail this sea till I drown out You wanna meet me here, then I dare you Please I don't wanna be alone If I'm the target I might cast the first stone And crawl away slow while they fight for the throne If I created this, it's time I atone, but Colors crash and cast a different light Open up, the heartbeat's deep inside It's a dream, but I know I'm alive It's a dream, but it's where the secret hides Who I am is not who I thought Tried to keep you safe, overshot Everything we feared is just what we got And all this time we bought, will it get us home? I just wanna make you smile, no strings attached Kick the monsters out, while I close the hatch Dragon swing down quick, got a ride to catch If I remember how to hope, will it get us home? It's a trick, they're right behind us, the truth will find us, it'll snag and gag and bind us Remind us how to live in a fire I'm a killer, they thought I was a crumbling crier Pull me by the collar and tug me higher I lost all the facts but I'm not a liar Wonder what they fear, maybe I'll inquire Nightmare: watch them expire Can't wake up, we're stuck here, so fight back, the memory attack and fresh tears I'm right here. They wanted me to feel it, well I'm right here This is what they asked for, so I'm right here Oh God, blood on my hands They're not prepared for who I really am, oh God Who will understand? Oh God, this is my burden I am the light and darkness, oh God! Hiding heart and closing eyes Will I fall away? Will I fall away? Hiding heart and closing eyes Will I fall away? Will I fall away? Flying shards through redding skies I will end your pain I will end your pain I’ll end your pain Open your eyes
