Loss of Endurance 03:25
lyrics
I would welcome any tears with this sorrow But not one seems to fall. Silence wraps around me like an ice storm In the dead of winter’s cold blues. I would call you on the phone if I could Just to hear your voice in my ear. I’d tell you that I love you if I thought it’d do any good, But who am I but a broken man. CHORUS: Emily, bring me home. I’m lost and tired and all alone. Emily, bring me home. I can’t get there on my own. -- I would welcome any comfort in this hour But nothing seems to hold anymore The alcohol is all dried up and now long gone What’s left is just a shadow on the wall CHORUS: Emily, bring me home. I’m lost and tired and all alone. Emily, bring me home. I can’t get there on my own. -- BRIDGE: What’s Left when were all gone? Just a hollowed out hull of a song. I know I’ve done right and I’ve done wrong. Won’t you help me along? CHORUS: Emily, bring me home. I’m lost and tired and all alone. Emily, bring me home. I can’t get there on my own.

From a Mile Away 03:08
lyrics
I can see from a mile away, the rope you hold to is tired and frade. I know I’m just a little late to help you up and get you straight. I won’t ask if you don’t want, and I won’t press if you’re not strong. It’s a thin line that we walk upon. Any turn can end up wrong. I can see from a mile away, the knots you tied have come undone. Time may pass through an hour-glass, but falling sand won’t fall for long. I wonder if you’re here with me, cause your eyes are open but they seem empty. It’s just a thin line that I can see. You could tell me now and I’ll let it be. I can see from a mile away, there’s a light that’s breaking through the fog. And I know it’s just a little late, but your still afloat despite it all. You have to kill the weed so flowers bloom, there’s still time if you have room. It’s a thinnest thread that guides us through, the needles eye that mends the wound.

Winter Sun 03:17
lyrics
Wait for me, I’ll wait for you. Hold my hand, I’ll hold yours too. Winter sun you don’t stay long. I’ll stand right here for you now. I'll wait right here. You know I will. -- Wait for me, I’ll wait for you. Hold my hand, I’ll hold yours too. Winter sun you don’t stay long. I’ll stand right here for you now. Hold on to your great big star. Bring with it all that you are. Winter sun you don’t stay long. I’ll wait, I’ll wait right here. I'll wait right here. You know I will.

Tired Eyed Savior 04:26
lyrics
Wait now, it won’t be long. You’re tired eyed savior will come down soon. You’ll praise him till you don’t, and you’ll kill him when he don’t fit your minds pretty box. Wait now, it won’t be long. The rain doesn’t mean to break down the mountains, to flood out the valleys. And the “saved” don’t mean to send the “sinner” to hell. CHORUS: I know your eyes cannot see, and your wondering where your heading too as your world holds you still. Hold on, I know your earth is shaking, but your rock will soon show as you wait for this moment to either break you, or set you free. -- Wait now, it won’t be long. This storm will pass and wash away what was, and bring us to our knees, and make us seek relief. CHORUS: I know your eyes cannot see, and your wondering where your heading too as your world holds you still. Hold on, I know your earth is shaking, but your rock will soon show as you wait for this moment to either break you, or set you free. -- BRIDGE: I know your tired eyes see no more, they’ve seen too much. And your hands are empty, but in your heart there is gold. CHORUS: I know your eyes cannot see, and your wondering where your heading too as your world holds you still. Hold on, I know your earth is shaking, but your rock will soon show as you wait for this moment to either break you, or set you free.

Fog 04:05
lyrics
Listen as the rain falls down. Watch it as it covers the ground. Listen as the thunder breaks above you, Above your head at night. Watch it as it all comes crashing down, A hurricane in your mind. You’d stop if you could. CHORUS: Hold on, the stars above will shine real soon. -- Listen to the crashing waves below. Watch them as a they swirl far away. Watch as the ocean curls around you. It's calling you on your way. Your feet, they will not go any further. Your saving grace upon the shore. You've already carried the weight of a sinking anchor Into the depths and back to the surface again. CHORUS: Hold on, the stars above will shine real soon.
