Two

To the wide road that lies ahead
To the harsh trail we must tread
All we dream
All we dread
Two are led
Two of hearts on an uphill climb
Two to start down the steep decline
All is certain
All is fine
If you are mine
To your heart, I spread this wing
Odyssey for the offering
All the things that I long to bring
Here I sing
To the darkness
To the light
To the fortune
And to the fight
All our wrongs
We made right
This our plight
To the future
To the past
To the now
We lift our glass
All that rises
All that's crashed
Two at last
To your love
I draw the line
Soul and space
And your place in mine
All the things that I can't define
Defy time
Defy time
Defy time
Defy time

Blindside
04:31
|
|||
|
This road you ride
A steady decline
Curves run deep
Risk is steep
What's around the next bend
Might spell out the end
Can't rely on that pride
To make it out alive
Steer away from me
Veer from my path
Before we both crash
Cause I'm lethal, baby
Silent and speeding fast
I am all I imply
I will be your demise
Every thrill that you seek
Ends in fatality
You are reckless
Endangered
Are you wise to the wager?
See the hazards are high
On this deathly drive
Steer away from me
Clear into safety
Get outta my tracks
Cause I'm diesel, baby
Crude and I'm coming up fast
Heading straight for your blindside
We collide...
Be brave for me
The structure gave way
When the metal went slack
And it's evil, babe
But I promise you
I've got your back
Breathe into me
Resuscitate
From the weight of impact
Believe in me
I will make up for all that I lack
Stay with me, babe
Stay with me, baby
Please
Lay with me
Feel the power of sight
Coming back

Rightfully
04:08
|
|||
|
Wrong in the right ways
We make a fine match
You bend when I break
You fall and I'll catch
We're too young to resign
And too old to align
Masters of mistakes
The best of the batch
You locked the front gate
And I broke the latch
We're too young to define
And too old to deny
But we are ripe for it
Right for this
We had both set our sights on it
Love is righteous
And rivaled
And rightfully
Ours
Soft to the touch
But split at the seams
Wake up with angels
Lie down with the beast
We're too wise to let fly
And foolish not to try
The labor is loaded
The joy is supreme
Dead weight and lightweight
And space in between
See, the answer lies
With no questions why
Cause we are ripe for it
Right for this
We had both set our sights on it
Love is righteous
And rivaled
And rightfully
Ours
Rightfully ours
Rightfully ours
Rightfully ours
And it's rightfully ours

Reservoir Road
03:30
|
|||
|
Called it home before I could speak
Hiding out before I could seek
Just a wee mouse
In the brick house
Just off Reservoir Road
'Twas the wood that rooted me
Flowering on my family tree
Learned to know how
In that brick house
Just off Reservoir Road
Goddamn, have a built a dam
Between my future and past
But goddamn, do I give a damn
Gonna make the moment last
Once a teller read my palm
She spoke of how I wrote my songs
On the floorboards of that big house
Just off Reservoir Road
And it was through those window panes
Grew my deepest growing pains
Yeah, what I know now
From that big house
Just off Reservoir Road
Goddamn, have I built a dam
Between history and hope
But goddamn, do I give a damn
Gonna let the water flow
So, my true love
He and I
Joined our hands under bluest sky
Took a big vow
At the big house
Just off Reservoir Road
And in time
See, I have found
Sometimes you build
Sometimes you tear it down
Something I learned how
From the big house
Just off Reservoir Road

The Drone
02:30
|
|||
|
Lying restless in our bed
Victim to a tortured head
We are wired
Too tired to fight the good fight
Feeling battered
Blocked and blind
Made of suffering
The human kind
Let it fly
Let us find some solace tonight
Heart longs to take the leap
Head fears the fall
Rock it all fast asleep
Finding the drone
Drown out the voices
And let it alone
I'm alright
If you're ok
Fear's an illusion, anyway
Find a light
Push it out of mind
Out of sight
The path is crucial
The road is rough
Let's ride it till our wheels fall off
Say goodnight
You and I have a legend to write
But something is stirring deep
Within these walls
I've heard that talk is cheap
Finding the drone
Drown out the voices
And let it alone
Drown out the voices
Let it alone
Drown out the noise
Let it alone
