HALCYON WANDER LYRICS

1. Tembo

2. Novaturient

It's said, "We are who we are."
"We were born this way."
But nothing is created broken.
Have you ever seen something so broken?
Have you given up on me?

I'm always chasing away the ones who want to stay
'cause if they met the real me, oh, they'd be sorry
I've got a way of making things okay just long enough for them to break
If I repeat the cycle, soon enough I'll be on my own

I hear you. I hear you.
Don't tell me how to live!
Don't you dare tell me I'm the coward here!
Show your face! Don't hide from me!
A life lived alone is colorless

I'm always chasing away the ones who want to stay
'cause if they met the real me, oh, they'd be sorry

I've got a way of making things okay just long enough for them to break
If I repeat the cycle, soon enough I'll be on my own
I'll be on my own

3. Empty Is Insight

So here we are. Let's play pretend
I'll take the blade without hesitance
'Cause I'm the only one who'll ever know
What goes on in my own head
You see for me I let it bleed
I draw these lines just to feel something
This game has always been release for me
But this time, this time...

I found nothing at all in bleeding
I guess that's what it took to cross this line

I guess I thought that
I could never turn back
I could never turn back
Is this the bottom of the pit?
Is this when the darkness shifts?
I'll strip my fate from the hands of the enemy
And lift my hands as the demons flee!

I am finally free

4. Bones

I can feel you in my bones (I can feel you in my bones)
This life is not my own, I gave it up for the One who built this home
I can hear you in these walls (I can hear you in these walls)
We're in this till the end, to trust your design through thick and thin

Cover me, blanket my imperfection
Smother me, with purpose and direction
I've been long past dead but my lungs keep breathing
How much can a broken body take?
My skin's cold but my heart's still beating
Is this the consequence of one mistake?

I never thought we'd still be standing within the house we built on sand
The earth below is collapsing from the weight of our destructive hands
It's a long shot to ask your forgiveness
Wash my hands of all the blood
From the lives I've truly broken, what's there to be loved?

I'll scream at the top of my lungs and cry from the bottom of my heart and know this,
I'm moving on ahead, I'm not better off dead, you're not better off dead

We'll scream at the top of our lungs and cry from the bottom of our hearts and know this,
We're moving on ahead, we're not better off dead, we're not better off dead

5. Jacob's Song

Daddy, where did you go?
Why would you leave me all alone
To wander the halls of a broken home
and I'll never know your love
Maybe, I'm just unloveable

Daddy, where did you go?
I miss you so. Please just call.
Daddy, where did you go?
I miss you so.

Daddy, I'm sorry I lost my sense of home
Daddy, I'm sorry I wasn't worth the call
Maybe one day you'll hear my song and realize it wasn't all my fault
Maybe, I'm not unloveable

What would it take for forgiveness to break through the walls of this glass heart, I've hidden in shame?
What would it take?

'Cause I just want to hear you say my name
and that you left me for a reason
I can't understand the change
Tell me that you love me after all this time
Tell me you're sorry and I'm not alone

Tell me I'm loved
Tell me I'm loved

6. Atlantis

You used to stand on solid ground
You used to walk on the water
You used to say you'd never fall astray
And now I watch as the waves take you away

There was a bridge we used to cross that brought us from death to life
And now that bridge is like a lost city in the sea
Forgotten

My God, you came looking for us
Though we are only idle vessels made of blood and rust
Is this it, is this what's left of us?
Don't get me wrong, yeah, we're to blame
For we haven't moved in months. We are but fragile frames
Would you send rescue again knowing we'll never change?

Just like the night submits to the light [to the light]
We will not try to hide. We will not dare to fight.
Just like the sandstone crumbles below
Few of us will grow old. These bones aren't made of stone.
Time is running out. Time is running out.
Time is running out.

There was a bridge you used to cross that brought you from death to life
And now that bridge is like a lost city in the sea
Forgotten

One hand can pull you out and it's not mine
Keep your head up! Keep your head up!
I can't save your life without losing mine
Keep your head up! Keep your head up!

Slowly drifting away, goodbye my friend
I hate to see that this is where it ends

7. The Fight In You

When tired arms can't hold the dimming light, I'll hold your hand until that light is bright

It's okay if you were a mess today and it's fine if you couldn't hold back the tears you cried.
Sing: It's okay
Scream: It's okay
Sing: if you were a mess today.
Sing: Don't cry
Scream: I'll be there on your darkest night.

In the pain from today we find hope for tomorrow.
As seasons change, we know this pain is only temporary.
It may hurt for now but when it's gone and you're feeling strong,
remember, remember the fight was in you all along

I want to see you fight! Your light within shines bright!
I want to see you fight! Your light within shines bright!

DANCE BREAK

Carry on, child
Fight for hope
Take my hand
I fight for my own

When tired arms can't hold the dimming light, I'll hold your hand until that light is bright
When bloodshot eyes can't see the passing night, don't wait for dawn when you can't rely on sight

8. The Influence

Everywhere I turn they're screaming
"Give in. Give in. Just give in."
Everywhere I turn they're giving in

I will never let this go
I will sing it louder than ever before
I will never give up hope
For I found my voice
I was never alone

I know the messages you're sending out to the masses
What is your fame when it tears them down?
Why then should they be wearing your name
When what they see on stage is fake?
Your poise hides nothing but your poisoned words

Their worth is not defined by your painted lies
Their worth is not defined by your troubled times
Their worth is not defined by your painted lies
Their worth is not defined by you

Everywhere I turn they're screaming
"Give in. Give in. Just give in."
Everywhere I turn they're giving in

I will never let this go
I will sing it louder than ever before
I will never give up hope
For I found my voice
I was never alone

They say it's nothing more than illusions of grandeur
They say it can't be found what I'm holding now

Rise up rise up
We're not backing down
Rise up Rise up
All at once

Rise up now

Hope binds us together
Altogether now

We will never let this go
We will sing it louder than ever before
We will never give up hope
For we found our voice
we are never alone

You can't hold us down
We're not backing down

9. What Unites Us

[feat. Jonny LaDuke]

Wake up, wake up and see the light
As it shines for you, it's burning bright
You say that you can't, don't say that you can't
You will never learn to run if you refuse to stand
The very thing that made you an outcast is
What unites us

You live in a shell believing you're nothing
But what makes you feel that you can't be something more?
What are you waiting for?

Only confident in being talentless
These self-defeating lies will leave you paralyzed

Wake up, wake up and see the light
As it shines for you, it's burning bright
You say that you can't, don't say that you can't
You will never learn to run if you refuse to stand
The very thing that made you an outcast is
What unites us in the dark
Don't ever let them steal that spark
You say that you can't, don't say that you can't
You are worth more than you know. When will you understand?
The very thing that made you an outcast is

What will be the common ground we walk upon
And we will never, we'll never give up
Oh, their words, they hurt.
All it took for you and I to become one
Was to find we were never alone
I swear we will fight for you as one.
We fight for our own
Never again will you swing with your back against the wall

Wake up, wake up and see the light
As it shines for you, it's burning bright
You say that you can't, don't say that you can't
You will never learn to run if you refuse to stand
The very thing that made you an outcast is
What unites us in the dark
Don't ever let them steal that spark
You say that you can't, don't say that you can't
You are worth more than you know. When will you understand
The very thing that made you an outcast is
The very thing that made you an outcast is
What unites us
