BEYOND THE SHORE LYRICS

1. Dividers

I want to learn how to be the person in my dreams.
I want to learn how to be the person of your dreams.
We could draw beneath the shade, outlines of shapes to protect ourselves from sadness.
From what we know will come.
I’d teach you to look through the mirror.
I’d teach you to dream more.
They can’t touch us here.

2. Half Lived

I'll hold weightless words above your head
You won't even notice
The last thing on your mind was the only prize

The ocean sings a sweet song
I can see it in your eyes
Only to the grave

Collapse against the windward ground
You'll promise to be safe and sound
Watch as the limbs of the trees sway
Escape is only a breath away

I can taste the promise of better days
Oh I can taste the promise of better days
Sleepwalking on the tip of a tongue that can't pronounce
Forgotten words are the beginning stages
Far worse than our hearts we keep locked up in cages
So taste the promise of better days

Collapse against the windward ground
You'll promise to be safe and sound
Watch as the limbs of the trees sway
Escape is only a breath away

I can taste the promise of better days
Oh I can taste the promise of better days

I've watched the seasons change along with you all
The leaves from up above cut like razors as they fall
The ocean sings a sweet song
I can see it in your eyes
Only to the grave

Sleepwalking on the tip of a tongue that can't pronounce
Forgotten words are the beginning stages
Far worse than our hearts we keep locked up in cages
So taste the promise of better days

I'll hold weightless words above your head
You won't even notice
The last thing on your mind was the only prize

3. Transitions

Drift away, daydreaming into nightmares.
Alive in the structures without frames.
Teach me to count the seconds, learn all your names.
Clock watching makes it harder to find sleep.
Watch them turn back the teeth of time.
This vessel seeks the caverns of my deepest dreams.
The lights are out, but my imagination is finally free.
Remember, heavy limbs will never meet the sky.
So cross your heart and hope to fly.
A home is more than walls, bricks and mortar.
Let it run, let it run.
Your imagination has secret faces you wouldn't recognize.
Let your imagination run.
Our home is more than walls, bricks and mortar.

4. Homewrecker

Teach me to walk without making a sound.
So I can roam the dark hallways of this empty town, where glass bottles cover the floors.
You’re just basic buildings with no windows or doors.
They belong to the ships that promised to carry me away.
Through the icebergs that swore to keep me at bay.
Keep me at bay.
Through the icebergs that swore to, keep me at bay.
Teach me to fly high above the ground.
Teach me to walk without making a sound.
So I can roam the dark hallways of this empty town, where glass bottles cover the floors.
You’re just basic buildings with no windows or doors.
Teach me to walk. High above the ground.
Closing in the weigh my eyes back to sleep.
Weigh my eyes back to sleep.
Years from now I won’t remember you, but in my dreams you’re so hard to forget.
So count backwards from nine.
Eight, seven, six, five.
As the sheep dance through your mind.
Knock out the lights as the wolves descend.
Four, three, two, one.
The floor you’re on wasn't built for this end.

5. Glass Houses

If I could reach up
And scrape the clouds out of the sky
I would rearrange them
In shapes that would leave you breathless
Not one would be the same
They would chase each other around
Until they returned to the dust as they came

The sun would hide behind the hills
Where it couldn't be found
We could walk across the ocean
As if it were glass not making a sound

Constellations of another generation are where I belong
Our navigation is only met by the passing ships on the horizon
Brushing the edge of this world

If I could reach up
And scrape the clouds out of the sky
I would rearrange them
In shapes that would leave you breathless
Not one would be the same
They would chase each other around
Until they returned to the dust as they came

The sun would hide behind the hills
Where it couldn't be found
We could walk across the ocean
As if it were glass not making a sound

Constellations of another generation are where I belong
Our navigation is only met by the passing ships on the horizon
Brushing the edge of this world

Don't give up on your dreams, son
The destination of where we need to be is hanging in the balance [2x]

Set sail far away outside this hell
Here we are more than royalty
No empty shell [2x]

Don't worry
No need to be scared
I'll keep you by my side
Write our names in the sand,
They'll be gone with the tide

Running along the water's edge is where I'll be
Avoiding strangers and monsters of the sea

6. Milestone

[Instrumental]

7. #Dreamkiller

Where are the scars we can’t yet feel?
The tongues we speak in won’t allow them to heal.
Attempts at luring in shadows from the walls.
Painting pictures with their words, nails and claws.
Age is the death of imagination, they say.
The colors are dull, defined by blue and grey.
Hold your breath kid, the lines and sinkers aren’t keeping us afloat.
Cast your familiar stares, I’ll be counting the hours as the hands on the clocks spin around.
Walking the hallways of an empty house without making a sound.
So keep light feet through the air, don’t touch the ground.
The floorboards burn with a passion to eat through your soul.
Age is the death of imagination, they say.
Defined by blue and grey.

8. Visions

There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
Like driftwood that comes together to make the shapes of the sea.
Continents have drifted between the cracks.
A new beginning, a fresh start is all we need.
Reach around the edges and find the slave of our mind.
He doesn’t mean any harm until we run wild in time.
Open pages to the extent of any imagination free to climb.
This sinking feeling can eat through the furthest of my dreams.
Desperate for the most secret hiding places, I’ve searched high and low.
And don’t we all have our own, second chances always seem to hit home.
Swing for the fences, we don’t want to be left alone.

9. Breathe On Ice

Vipers say the poison we let out will always be in our veins.
Strong and sincere, inside these bones are my highways.
My lonely mind is all I can find these days to keep me sane.
So many sticks and stones are all that seem to find my name.
Bite down so the punctured wound will lose it's sting.
They say the venom will only spread if I let it.
Let it in, let it out.
There are things we hear we can live without.
Strong and sincere, beneath the bones are my highways.
To the heart is where I travel.
Hold on, the pain is only tearing you inside out.
Our words cut like knives placed behind poisonous teeth.
I wish I could sit still long enough to let the sunlight come through the windowpane.
Maybe then, I’d find you outside right where I left you.
Strong and sincere, inside these bones are my highways.
The poison we let out will always be in our veins.

10. Ghostwatcher

Let it wear you out.
Weaving a web of confusion.
Between the silk trees, across the front yard.
White lies catch the strongest off guard.
Sleepless nights have led you to my home, far from our own.
