Glasshouse 03:03
You’re so brave with your head held high screaming down your lies just to keep them in line but as soon as it looks like they’re going to fight your armour is paper just like your spine Why did you go and build your house of glass? when your heart is full of stones Well if you build build your house of glass be careful with the words you throw Here we sit in the palm of your hand bending to your sway as you make your demands your lack of control is damaging your soul don’t push this on me it won’t make you feel whole Build yourself up to unreachable heights with foundations on sand and these hands that will pull straight from beneath if you never give anything Yeah you built yourself up now can you hold it? build your house of glass and watch it break before your eyes
2.
Come Alive 03:21
I wanted to feel hurt by your words unsure of a future without you but I couldn’t bring myself to care there was nothing hanging in the air don’t feel the way I should and that speaks volumes enough So you were gone when I opened my eyes I’m awake from the dream & the lie Never meant to come alive I understand if you don’t believe in this just don’t try and twist me out of shape I felt your aura drain out in front of me but I couldn’t grieve And now the sky can’t hold you in and we cannot force what would have never been I have to let you pass me by your moving on was a blessing in disguise
3.
Run Wild 03:45
I have walked in those shoes I get your point of view when piece by piece you’re trying to force together these things that are not real not now or ever Are you really gonna live like this forever? You will always be looking over your shoulder You’ve let your mind run wild you’re seeing things that are out of sight You’ve let your mind run wild ghost in the night You’re only hurting yourself yeah and you will never feel well yeah yeah and in this state of mind in fear you grip too tight but will you live your life afraid? til it slips away You’ve been trying to hide from what’s inside you’ve let your mind let it run wild (You’ve been trying to hide) They visit you in the night (but reflections don’t lie) they’re haunting you

This Divide 03:05
It’s so quiet all around our footsteps barely make a sound as we tip toe so carefully away from problems we don’t wanna see It’s the words we never say that are weighing down on me and all we know is the to and fro There are words we never say and I’ve fallen by the way side can we close this divide? Try to make myself numb so you never see me come undone I feel the words on the tip of my tongue begging me to escape We both have our demons trying to make their way way in but we still believe in everything that led us to where we are now It’s the word we never say that are weighing down on me and all we know is the to and fro There are words we never say and I’ve fallen by the way side can we close this divide? when we collide can we close this?
5.
Be Enough 02:46
I’m always waiting for a sign something to tell me I should trust my insides Am I just in over my head with every decision a second guess there is a part of me waiting to turn back I’ve built this place for my own but a prison is not a home won’t close the door before it’s begun I have to let this be enough I’m always looking for direction I need to know what it’s like to move without restriction A light to chase away the shadows on the path my fears take forms of their own I have to leave them in the dark Maybe this feeling is reason enough to show me that I’m not misleading myself and to know this is what I want
6.
Underwater 03:38
Another year has passed I feel alive inside my head at last and we are not running from When another doubt is cast just like the shadow over my own confidence you never stop believing in Break the cycle in my head this dead skin I will shed Here I am anew anew I’m trying to breathe underwater and I won’t let myself swim I’m trying to live without borders but I’m caging myself in in Another year has passed we aren’t faded we are colourfast and I am not running from When another doubt is cast I’ll light the shadow over my own confidence and I won’t stop believing in Inside these walls I swore to never let them win Now I accept that it was never meant to be perfect Please bring me back If I get lost again so when I am underwater I won’t breathe in
7.
Wildflower 03:29
Oh I know why you had to go it doesn’t mean it’s easy for me Something greater is calling your name we’ll change directions at the end of this road Wildflower your roots have grown so vast you’ve journeyed into unchartered lands I know that feeling you have the need to know and not regret just like you I can’t live like this this means to an end is starting to feel infinite we need meaning again no matter where it leads us Wildlfower your roots have grown so vast you’ve journeyed into unchartered lands Wildflower your missing piece is here within your reach but if you start to lose sight I will be there to remind you
8.
Disconnect 03:23
Don’t we all deserve to sleep without fear? There’s nothing left here let’s leave everything we know caught up in what we can’t control (Our disconnect) You are so disconnected your heart is cold heart is stone You’ve turned your backs on innocents Don’t you feel hollow? We’re losing out on beautiful minds all because some stars don’t align It’s just up to fate for which side of this imaginary divide How do you sleep? You’ve covered our eyes cause your conscience sees the way that you bring them to their knees Will we ever be free or only prisoners of your apathy?
9.
Voices 02:59
There is a girl who’s been hiding from the world trying to fade away but hoping one day to hold her ground but she’s afraid of what they’ll say that she will become their prey Voices whisper from within they’re trying to break her skin and she’s trying to shake her fear of them with every step another two back can she find the strength within to resist? It’s only ever been me Now I see I never had the room to breathe It was only me who was suffocating couldn’t let myself believe
10.
You’ve ignored the warning signs you’ve broken this intertwine you’re chasing your fortune with disregard for destruction When you rise we all fall soon you’ll find it’s all gone Keep reaching out your hands until there’s nothing left Listen to this wake up call you are chaos at your very core you have chosen your reckless greed not the future we all need We will be left in the dust just repeating mistakes of the past This is all we have so this can’t be the end or there will be nothing left
11.
Such wonder brings me to tears so I focus on the moment before it disappears we are draining all the colour from what once was so flawless we can’t keep burning on forever straight toward collapse We have to look beyond ourselves if we don’t care then no-one will if we fail now it’s over and we will bid farewell We have to look beyond ourselves the marks and scars we leave will tell we never cared enough to cover impressions where we fell And the ocean will swallow the earth it will take back all we’ve burnt if we don’t realise we still have time And the ocean will swallow the earth unless we realise we can change the tide
