1. Act I: Memento Amare (Intro)

[Instrumental]

2. ...Said The Sapling To The Sun

This landslide, it pulls me down
It sweeps me off my feet and plants me in the ground
The longer I'm tied to this post, the deeper my roots grow
My branches reach out pleading to be free
Come on, you're wasting daylight
(These flowers won't bloom if you wait any longer)
My love: will you take my hand?
'Cause I can't live without you
They say with love when you know you know
I gave you my heart
I promised you everything because I know you'd do the same for me
Yeah, you're the sun; you're my favorite season
But what happens when the air gets cold?
When I lose all my leaves and my limbs start to freeze
Will you keep me hanging on?
You're the sun you're my favorite season
So I know that when the air gets cold
Through the snow and the sleet you're my reason to be
Keep me alive 'til the Summer comes
We will survive this cold dark winter ahead before this hurricane tears us apart to nourish the earth that held our prosperity.
WE WILL SURVIVE
I've been battered by wind and by rain
It's been so dark
Will you bring me the light again
So I can see all these things all of these things in front of me
That will try to break us
These are the storms that will make us stronger
You are the sun
We’ll keep the storms at the gate with the walls we built together
We’ll keep the storms far away with the walls we wield forever

3. Lost In The Sea (Intimacy) Pt. II

This is my fate
This is the sea
This is where I want to be for the rest of my life
Treading unknown waters as the waves crash in my face
The tides pull me under
The surface is so far away
I feel a presence beneath me
Seems as if someone is watching over me
With knowing what lies ahead I hold my breath and close my eyes
I can hear her singing
If you want, I can take you to the bottom of the sea
(Without a submarine) the sea (you can live like me)
If you want I can teach you how to breathe like me
How to breathe like me, like me.
She's singing underwater to the tune of my despair
Loneliness is all she’s ever known
And it’s got her ensnared
The melody drowns my sorrows as the current pulls me in
Can you hear me singing?
Can you hear me up here? I’m singing along
I’d die trying to reach you
because it’s where I belong
Under the sea

4. Simone

Open your eyes baby--you don't see how good I am to you.
You know what I’d do for you is crazy--let’s stay together.
Darling I’ll find a way
Because after everything you put me through, my god I’m still in love with you.
Baby, I've been thinking of the day.
Let’s not pick and choose because you know I’m the one that’s here to stay
and girl you keep me on my toes, illuminate the lowest lows
And baby in my heart—I know that you’re the one
It’s thirty degrees outside and it’s starting to snow so take off your clothes baby let me keep you warm.
Take a dip in the river; don’t shiver, Simone
I’ll be your secret and always keep you warm.
Take a dip in the river; don’t shiver alone,
I’ll be your blanket and always keep you warm.
I’d do anything to hold you in my arms, sweet Simone. You’re all that I desire!
I’d do anything to hold you in my arms, sweet Simone. You’re all that I require!
I’d do anything to hold you in my arms, sweet Simone.

5. Penny Serenade

I said it’s over; don’t talk to me
Because that’s what It comes down to
And I don’t want to listen to another damn word you have to say to me
(Just let go)
I think the moment you left
was the moment my life started making sense
(I've opened up my eyes--there's so much more)
I had to follow my heart--the only way to make my life feel whole again
I hope you understand that I have grown,
Being without you was hard, but I've learned to stand on my own
I hope you understand that
I have grown
I know that I’ll see you again, when we both have learned to be on our own
On our own, understand that I
Have shown you I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I won’t change
Because you make me, yeah, you make me somebody I wasn't before.
Now that you’re gone I have to face all my demons.
Why do they all remind me of you?
You matter to no one I doubt that they'll miss you.
Bear with me now; you'll know what comes next.
We are the mirror your lies will reflect, so run! Run away! Because you'll never learn from your mistakes!
It was cursed from the start; the lies were more dependable than the truth
When it all fell apart I finally found myself again

6. Luna Amante

Looking back at earth from a million miles away
You know you’ll see me again, again someday
But for now just stare at my constellation
Can’t you see me burning beyond the atmosphere?
Don’t you feel me yearning? I just wish you were here
Hurry up and do what it takes, I feel like I’m losing faith
I won’t rest till you decide
Go and leave it all behind--the family you hate and lies you were told to abide
Can I convince you that they‘re not going to miss you like I do
Like I do
When the stars align in the future and our zodiac signs are one
We can get married in space, without the human race discouraging what we’ve done
I’m drifting away into space
It’s been 20 years since I’ve seen your face, and I’ve come to understand nothing at all
I don’t know where I am, but I’m sure that where I am is paradise
Looking back at earth
From a million miles away
You know that you’ll see me again, again someday
But for now just stay away

7. Act II: Memento Mori (Interlude)

[Instrumental]

8. Overneath

[feat. KC Simonsen From Outline In Color]

And when I sing, I want the whole world there to see
To scream my name; I need your hearts along with me
And I won't stop until the last of your eyes have opened up
And this is instinct; I will lead--come with me
You don't want to miss this
In a world without light, scream, "WE WILL RISE ABOVE"
I can see my name written in the stars
(Being level-headed never got us far)
Constantly becoming who we are
(And I'm sick of waiting for my life to start)
When I wake up, I still think I'm dreaming
'Cause I just can't believe the world I'm seeing: "one day, I hope we'll learn"
Just take my hand and we can find true beauty
We'll string together all the pieces missing: "someday we'll find true love"
I don’t want to be impersonating figurines
I don’t want to be a man of less integrity
What would the people say? What would the people say?
(I don’t give a fuck what they think of me)
Speak up--don’t be afraid; speak up--don't be afraid
The crowd is against your will either way
Come with me you will feel the suffering stop

9. I'm Trevor Collins, And These Are My Real Teeth

I’m a ghost in a body I found--a cold heart, and warm skin
Once I’m done with your body I leave
I Lock my mind in a box to get rid of the pain
...I’m having trouble remembering your name
You can find me in a fake sleep
Addicted to this memory; addicted to the sound of your voice.
Turn your head--I can’t look you in the eyes, and you’re the reason why.
Shaken, oh but how we've grown
Building houses from broken homes
Haunted, but it makes us...
The memory of that day still haunts me (still haunts me)
I believe that, someday, the sirens will fade (the sirens will fade)
For we are the children of bones--it’s all that we know (it's all that we know--it’s all that we need)
So when you find me in this slumber: don’t wake me up because I’m dreaming of you
When you find me in a deep sleep
Addicted to this memory; addicted to the sound of your voice
Turn your head--I can’t look you in the eyes and you’re the reason why
HAUNTED, BUT IT MAKES US WHOLE

10. Words Unspoken

We open on darkened horizons; young and violent, miles away
On different roads we were aimless--can you blame us?
How we’ve found our way
Oh, your face is perfection--the solace that I need
The reflection of words that I could never say
We met on a course of white horses; white horses, not like today
With all of our trouble behind us--to remind us that nothing’s in our way
Escaping the past that consumed, us we found trust--a reason to be
When everything seemed to be broken, it was spoken to be our destiny

11. Hiraeth

When will this feeling ever go away?
Everything’s dead to me including myself
Why should I question if you ever cared at all?
After all you brought me into this world
Over two decades of empty words fill my head
What drove you over the edge? Was it me?
December: I remember the sound
Oh, it’s over; I never left town
You come to me in my dreams; is this reality? Maybe when I’m awake I’m really asleep
You said if I get back to myself and escape this self-made hell
Time is told, "time is told" to help let go, but I never will
His last sun is rising; there’s a deafening sound
The birds abandon the trees; in minutes the blood runs out
"I’m screaming so loud, nothing's coming out; these powerless lungs I could do without"
(The frequency’s too high to hear)

12. A Snake Will Say It Loves You

Anxiety seeps out of my pores; insomnia takes over
(Can someone please clean the blood in my veins?)
Temptation lies within these walls; there’s no exit, I am confined
No matter how far I run, I can’t escape
I am broken; I’ve tried to forget what I’ve lost without all these drugs
But I need them by my side to get through the night--I can’t do this on my own.
I’m so gone--you’re all the same
Distinguish my arms and not my name
I’m sharpening the only thing that brings me hope
Reopening the scars--I don’t want them to heal
Where has all my medicine gone? My medicine gone? My medicine gone?
(I don’t want to feel anymore, where is my antidote?)
I’m slowly dying and there’s nothing you can do to bring me back
Bring me back! Bring me back!
(From this intoxicating nightmare)
And I’m hypnotizing anyone that tries to keep me from this drug
From this drug! From this drug!
(So they know I’m the victim not the cause)
Society sleeps while I’m awake in a cold sweat; my bones ache
Ignoring the signs, I’m out of time
I have nothing left!
This addiction has gone too far I can’t be saved.
I get the feeling I’ll never be satisfied
What will it take to just be happy again?
When everything’s perfect is it really worth it to come down from this high?
Should I sell my soul or make amends?
Should I try to be something that I'm not, and remember all the faith that I forgot?
