Tonight so we roll the dice
If just to stop and pray for paradise to come through
Straight in to the dark
Straight into something looking for the spark that we knew
No thinking of tomorrow
We only got today
You are the only thing that keeps me hanging on
And on and on
There's nothing else could ever come between us 'cause we are
The diamond and the missing son
Diamond, you should know
Nothing and no one makes me feel anything like you do
For all the things you show
There's always something that leaves we wondering and blind and confused
No thinking of tomorrow
We only got today
You are the only thing that keeps me hanging on
And on and on
There's nothing else could ever come between us 'cause we are
The diamond and the missing son

Break Through The Waves
03:54
|

I was thinking I should run
Sense the game cannot be won
Become the missing son, pretty much disappear
Cause I ain't got a role
In this life I am on my own
Got danger in the home, that much is clear
Didn't we break through the waves
The seasons changing in me
Didn't we break through the waves of a loveless sea
Didn't we stand by the guns
That saw us overcome, pretty much everything
I could hear you talking loud
Memories of that sweet surround
But there ain't no sword of justice here
Well take me as I am
This is my line in the sand
Things are far from how they might appear
Didn't we break through the waves
The seasons changing in me
Didn't we break through the waves of a loveless sea
Didn't we stand by the guns
That saw us overcome, pretty much everything

In a conversation high
When we would walk for miles
Though the city kind of flickers at night
This one never seems to die
When I first arrived I was broke
Now I got just enough to cope
You said put your faith to the test
See those words turn into flesh
Things could be so good for you
Things could be so good for you
Still kind of feeling the sting
I don't take for granted anything
You should take your own advice
Stop asking twice
See how that building is lit
One day I'm gonna own a piece of it
You said put your faith to the test
See those words turn into flesh
Things could be so good for you
Things could be so good for you
If you think these things just can't be done
Waiting for a sign then I can show you one
Things could be so good for you
Things could be so good for you

This Is My Oxygen
03:30
|
|||
Morning light has left a calm complexion
Throwing golden circles on the street
Hopelessness has gone with no direction home to me
So tomorrow night I'm leaving early
People seem to think they can tell me what I need
I followed their beliefs on what's expected
Followed them until they were following me
I heard my chance was wearing thin
But now they see those colours creeping in
In silence I hear victory
This is the oxygen I wanna breathe
This is the oxygen I wanna breathe
I set my bag down at the front desk
I asked for lucky number nine
I took my keys and got to thinking
It's better if I stay here for a while
There were photographs of winners
And the golden age of rat pack on the wall
Some strangers threw some pennies in the fountain
Then disappeared like they weren't there at all
I heard my chance was wearing thin
But now they see those colours creeping in
In silence I hear victory
This is the oxygen I wanna breathe
This is the oxygen I wanna breathe
This is the oxygen I wanna breathe

You Are My Wilderness
03:30
|
|||
Just give me a reason
To turn my back on everything I've done
I'm waiting on a change in season
Some day what's lost can still be won
We twist, we play them as they come
But some mistakes they can't ever be undone
Maybe it was fate that took us on this ride
Or maybe we just had this need inside?
You are my wilderness
You are my wilderness
In truth, it was just a judgement call
Sometimes things don't make much sense at all
But I can feel it in the air, and read those warning signs
An ascent into those blinding heights
Maybe it was fate, but it ain't make believe
I can feel an angel watching me
You are my wilderness
You are my wilderness
You are my wilderness
You are my wilderness

High Conviction Play
03:25
|
|||
It was a high conviction play, but we took it all the way
Sometimes it all seems crystal clear
And I ain't ever seen a ceiling so high
It looks as though it was painted to the sky
Where we started is a long way out from here
So, I forget myself some times
But didn't it such a long way down the line?
So I cut just a little close to the bone
But you know I couldn't have done it on my own?
Colour blind in the worst kind of way
'Cause I don't see those shades of grey
So many things don't seem to matter all that much to me
But in the distance I can see the end
Coming faster than that bullet train
I've been running to escape my own anxiety
So, I forget myself some times
But didn't it such a long way down the line?
So I cut just a little close to the bone
But you know I couldn't have done it on my own?
I looked ahead just as the elevator beeped
I checked my phone and looked down to the street
Outside everything was burning hot
Right below where we used to sleep
I could hear the dogs barking in the street
Sometimes it seems like everything comes down to just one shot....

See the rooftops stretch from view
Raise a glass to your chosen few
See the bright sun going down
Hear the bottle as as it hits the ground
Here's to those who wish us well
And those who don't can go straight to hell
They knew for sure we wouldn't be around
But it was just another sun going down
Take one look back through the gates
'Cause you know we won't be back again
Raise a glass to the ones you know
We changed how the story should go
Here's to those who wish us well
And those who don't can go straight to hell
They knew for sure we wouldn't be around
But it was just another sun going down
Here's to those who wish us well
And those who don't can go straight to hell
They knew for sure we wouldn't be around
But it was just another sun going down

Thuja Green
03:43
|
|||
Everyone gotta choose
What they want, and what they wanna lose
I saw it in a dream
Among the autumn leaves
I found myself in a way
And all my senses seem to say
That it was with me in the wind
Every vessel of blood within
The sunlight breaking through those trees
The rows and rows of Thuja Green
I'm going to find my way by spring
Just trying to make sense of everything
I was standing by a bridge that day
A thousand voices seem to say
That soon I would be free
From the scenes unfolding under me
These streets ain't paved with gold
Many flamed out by the road
Still I don't regret a thing
Said my reflection in the stream
The sunlight breaking through those trees
The rows and rows of Thuja Green
I'm going to find my way by spring
Just trying to make sense of everything
