Track Name: A Storm and a Hanging
The tides collide Poseidon says
“The winds will change”
From inside this black box we watch
The chaos that tears us apart
And screaming does nothing
Waves swallow the sound
Toss me now overboard

And I can’t swim
But I know how to drown
Throw me over
And I’ll show you how
Don’t feed me your oxygen
I’d rather let the storm consume me
(Take me in)

In black and white or color
This boat is breaking
Through the glass I watch you fall
But I won’t take the wheel
The sea will yield when it is through here
Better off hanging in the galley

I can’t breathe
But I can hear the sound
Take the chair out
And I’ll show you how
Don’t feed me your oxygen
I’d rather let the storm consume me

And all the things I had to hear
From you tonight
Come up slowly, raise your hands
And praying’s fine but not for this
When this boat goes down
Illusions lost are found

And I can’t swim
But I know how to drown
Toss me over
And I’ll show you how

I can’t breathe
But I can hear the sound
Take the chair out
And I’ll show you how
Track Name: Romeo and Juliet
Verse 1:
I look at you
You look at me
We both sit here staring happily
Losing time
Losing our minds

Verse 2:
We both lose faith
And we both lose our taste for this world
For this world today

Pre-Chorus:
And you can't convince me
To change my mind
No you can't convince me
To turn back time

Chorus:
It's not just another Romeo loves Juliet
Walking through the dead remains of
Love at first regret
They may call us foolish
Call us anything they can
But irrationality and this love
Doesn't come in hand

Verse 3:
We could grow old
Lose all our teeth
Watch the kids grow up in the summer heat
Just you and me

Verse 4:
Listen to the rain
As the record plays
Of submarines and strawberry fields

Bridge:
We keep growing old tonight
Losing all our thoughts our years
I'd give it all to see you one last time
We're growing old tonight
We're losing all our thoughts our years
I'd give it all to see you one last time
Track Name: Through the Mirrors
Verse 1:
Here they come
Gazing again
Watching our aching
But when it comes
Down to this
Who are we?
Who are we?

Verse 2:
Silent days
In our glass cage
Rearrange
Just for display
Just a scene
To look into
Just a dream
To fall into
Falling into

Chorus:
What are we seeing
Through these mirrors
Dreams become clearer
Through the years
Our eyes will pour water
And our feet turn to sand
And as they walk closer
We’ll lead them to
The Promise Land

Verse 3:
Calvary
Comes to sleep here
Resting deep
Drawing nearer
And we breathe
Just the slightest sound

Bridge:
Can we come to a conclusion
Can we or not?
Are we stuck in this rut
Are we stuck in this spot
Track Name: Before the Dawn
Verse 1:
When the battle's nearly won
And the day is almost done
All that's left is standing here
For it has just begun
But we do it all again
Say another grace and amen
Keep on talking to ourselves
On and on

Chorus:
And the darkest part
The darkest moment rises
Rises right before the dawn
And we keep on hearing
Those birds singing
The silence disappears
And we're closer to the sun

Verse 2:
And we're spinning twice around
Faster than the speed of sound
Looking to the sky to see
If something's coming down
But it all just feels the same
Like we've done this all before
Can't give it a name
But we survived the storm
Track Name: Let's Take a Walk
Verse 1:
I took a step back, saw you there
Didn’t think that I would stare
Is that what got us here?

Verse 2:
Your eyes and mine connected
Our weary hearts expected
Something to come
Not just a summer love

Chorus:
We took our walks at night
Gave away our midnight fights
Sat together and watched the sunrise
But no one ever told us why

Verse 3:
We do everything but talked
Been twice around this city block
But you’re still just a stranger to me
Constantly telling me what’s wrong
But still I hear the same old song
Tell me this dear

Verse 4:
Do we fight, do we hold onto this
Our midnight bliss
How could we foresee

Bridge:
Had the fairytale story
Messed up the ending
Nothing ever
Falls into place here
But no one ever told us why
Track Name: Salem
Salem

Intro:
Brothers and fathers
Sisters and mothers
Come gather around here
And I’ll tell you a story
Of a world that is so different from
The ashes
We have gathered here

The crowds arrive in desperation
Join in our anticipation
Silenced by
This cosmic atmosphere
What do we fear?

Verse 1:
Once upon a time
(In a faraway land)
The people would gather
(To kill the witches plans)
Drag her out on her knees
(She was begging them please)
“Just believe me!”

Chorus:
We are the children of the light
(They would say to her)
We are the children of the light
And we will save

Verse 2:
The priest came a running
And up on his heels
Came torches and pitchforks
They were gonna seal the deal
They told her to be silent
Maybe God would come down
Take away the demons
And bless this holy town

Bridge:
People of Salem don’t you hear them
Calling out your name?
(repeat)
Drag your people out and burn them
Take your witches out and turn them
Into saints
(repeat)
Track Name: Bittersweet
Verse 1:
There will be a time that we
Will watch the people
Walk across the bridge
And we’ll question our existence
And though the sirens call my name
Transfixed my steady gazing
Into your eyes
This bittersweet goodbye
Don’t let go
Or maybe I should try

Chorus:
And the walls come closing in
Light fades and dusk begins
And we try to hide away from the night

Verse 2:
Here we come surrender thoughts
And sacrifice the things
We love the most
Here I’ll give you away
Though the winds have been released
And we sailed the seven seas
Or so it seems
It’s bittersweet
I’ll mend the seams
Or maybe just release

Tag:
And this time break out into song
Close your eyes and sing along
Lay you to rest
