One Step
04:00
|
|||
when you walked away I lost my anchor
the world fell upside down
I've been swimming at odd angles
tracking the surface
but I still can't open my mouth
One step, one step, one breath, one breath
one step, one step, one
when you walked away I was a sailor
mapping my way out
now I live here underwater
I find my way forward
but I still can't open my mouth
One step, one step, one breath, one breath
one step, one step, one
I am a lighthouse
I am a whale's eye
I am the ocean
I am a cloud
I am the voice that knows what the truth is
I am a small child, can't open my mouth
can't open my mouth through the water
if I look at it long enough
do you think I'll be strong enough
if I look at it long enough
do you think I'll be strong enough
to let it go
I was a mountain
I am the fallout
I have been angry
gather the clouds
I am a word that knows it is useless
I am a small child, can't open my mouth
can't open my mouth, open my mouth
through the water
One step, one step, one breath, one breath
one step, one step, one

Call Us What We Are
04:07
|
|
||
We’ve been running, never fast enough
We’ve been hunted, we take the punches, and then we get back up
We’ve been burdened, we’ve endured the pain
We’ve been outspoken, we’ve been hoping, we would see the change
You say that we earn what we work for, you say if it sells it has a worth
You say sweetheart, the choice is yours
Don’t call me sweetheart unless you’re my sweetheart
And if you were my sweetheart you’d know
I’ve played the right cards, now you can do your part
And don’t call me sweetheart. Call us what we are
We’re still waging wars our mothers fought
We’re still taking what we can make to give it all we’ve got
You say that we earn what we work for, you say if it sells it has a worth
You say sorry darlin’, we can’t do more
Don’t call me darlin’ unless you’re my darlin’
And if you were my darlin’ you’d know
I’ve seen your false starts, you bet some bad cards
Ran away with the wrong hearts, now
call us what we are (3x)
Warrior
We’ll play the drumbeat
We need you marching
Don’t call me sweetheart
Call me warrior

Work Fires
03:32
|
|||
hey, it could be that we found it
we've danced around it, never committed
yeah, I want a chance to show you
I wanna know you've seen what I can do
but you tell me don't wait, tonight you can't put me first
say you gotta stay late, to put out a fire at work
I wanna be one of your work fires
gotta stay late to put me out
I wanna be one of your work fires, baby
make you forget about everything else
hey, you know it when you feel it
I'm not here to steal it, got to be the right fit
yeah, but don't you write me off yet
I'm a cost I can offset, let me prove it
I want your tie loosened, to get your mind ready
want you makin' excuses why you gotta stay here with me
I wanna be one of your work fires
gotta stay late to put me out
I wanna be one of your work fires, baby
make you forget about everything else
I wanna be, I wanna be one of your work fires
I wanna be, I wanna be in your hands
I wanna be, I wanna be your problem
I wanna burn, I wanna burn so hot you can't stand it
I made a promise I'm gonna keep
I made a promise (I'm a force of nature)
I'm gonna keep (let the storm change you)
I wanna be, I wanna be one of your work fires
I wanna be, I wanna be in your hands
I wanna be, I wanna be your problem
I wanna burn, I wanna burn so hot you can't stand it

Nothing But Family
04:38
|
|||
so you don't know what the hell you're doing here
get in line
join the rest of us signing up for a long ride
so you think you're not better off for what you started with
then let's take it away
see how far you make it with nothing but the suit you were wearing
on your birthday, baby
I’ve got nothing but family now, got nothing but family now
And the empire we built was barely standing
I’ve got nothing but family now, got nothing but family now
And the empire we built is a body burning
I’ve tasted just enough of what it’s like to skim the bottom
I know there’s always further I could fall
We like to think that we could all be islands
But baby, so often it’s a brother, a sister, who keeps us hanging on
We’ve got nothing but family now, got nothing but family now
And the empire we built was barely standing
We’ve got nothing but family now, got nothing but family now
And the empire we built is a body burning
When we don’t feel safe gotta save each other, when we don’t feel safe
When we don’t feel safe gotta save each other, when we don’t feel safe
They cannot take one of us out without taking both of us down
They cannot take one of us out without taking both of us down
We’ve got nothing but family now, got nothing but family now
And the empire we built is a baby crying
We’ve got nothing but family now, got nothing but family now
And the empire we built is a teenage hellion
We’ve got nothing but family now, got nothing but family now
And the empire we built needs all our love to grow up

This is a Test
03:21
|
|||
This is a test
This is a test
Take it or need it
Can you calm the beast but let the storm rage
Can you unravel in a contained space
Can you stare the fire down and be unchanged
Or do you run into the smoke to rescue every precious thing
This is a test
Take it or
This is a test
Need it
Oh, can you be all things at once, can you be all things at once
Can you be alone
Oh, can you be all things at once, can you be all things at once
Can you fall and fall again
This is a test
Take it or
This is a test
Need it
Can you fall, can you fall, can you fall again, fall
Oh, can you be all things at once, can you be all things at once
Can you be alone
Oh, can you be all things at once, can you be all things at once
Can you fall and fall again
This is a test

Hush We Found
03:45
|
|||
Oh, when the dusk came down
When the dusk came down
Oh, in the hush we found, in the hush we found
Wait for it, wait for it, ‘till the night falls all the way
Oh, when the dusk came down
When the dusk came down
Oh, in the hush we found, in the hush we found
Our breathing was the loudest sound
Our breathing was the loudest sound
Wait for it, wait for it, ‘till the night falls all the way

This Will Hurt
03:05
|
|||
When all of this is over I’ll be what I always was
I will stand without a veil where you can see me
When the stones forget to bind themselves and buildings fall to dust
I’ll reflect the way you thought you could defeat me
And this will hurt, and this will break you
It’s good to break when something needs to change
And I’ll be here, I’ll always love you
But I will not intervene to save you pain
When we are young again and we meet back where time begins
At the birth of everything, about to watch it all
I will kiss you in the moment just before we can imagine
We will ever be so divided we could fall
And it will shine, it will deceive us
It will seem so perfect it could never end
And we will think love cannot leave us
But we will lose what we forget to defend
And this will hurt, and it will break you
It’s good to break when something needs to change
Now we are here, and I still love you
But I will not intervene to save you pain
