Track Name: Terminal
we are the calm before the storm
but what will become of us when we are gone?
are we graced?
or without a cure?

breathe deep
breathe soft
sing loud
stay

if i die before i wake
dont pray for me
i've found my place
so sing for your lover lost long ago
sing for your mother who's tired and old

it's terminal when you know
no simple faith makes strong hearts grow
i hear your words but feel no pain without you now
we will never be the same
we'll never be the same

can we fade out the ambiance
we bleed trust and uncertainty in what we give away
the colours change from obvious to blue
no city lights could glow as pale as you
but they light the way
if god is a part of us then take the world and make it yours again

if i die before i wake
dont pray for me
i've found my place
so sing for your lover lost long ago
sing for your mother who's tired and old

it's terminal when you know
no simple faith makes strong hearts grow
i hear your words but feel no pain without you now
we will never be the same
we'll never be the same

we'll never be the same
never be the same
if it all comes to an end we'll only have ourselves to blame
take it for the pain
take it for the pain
we all go down together
but broken as the day we came

it's terminal when you know
no simple faith makes strong hearts grow

it's terminal when you know
no simple faith makes strong hearts grow
i hear your words but feel no pain
but without you now
we will never be the same
we'll never be the same
Track Name: Northern Drawn and Quartered
well it rains here for days
the sky indelible grey
and every girl i meet
just sees through me
but if you've got the time
darling i'm sure i'll find
a little something to take the edge off this
something to numb the memory of her kiss

so i've been looking in the bars
dodging the oncoming cars
in search of something lost I found
gets me high then it just brings me down
gets me high but it just tears me down

northern drawn and quartered love
what you give is not enough
it's what you take that kills it all
it' s what you take that kills it all

well the kids here they know
love 'aint what follows you home
but one night wont mean a thing
with shaking hands they hold
stumbling drunk out in the cold
its who we are that we don't show
its who we lose that makes us know

well the whiskey and pills
just imitate the thrill
of what i cant replace
and when i lay down at night
with only sleep left to fight
i'll always wonder where you are
but i'll black out and never know
who you've found and how you've grown


Northern drawn and quartered love
what you give is not enough
it's what you take that kills it all
its who you lose that makes you whole
its who you lose that makes you whole
Track Name: Soften the Edges
soften the edges
and straighten these lines
ties i've undone
are the ties that bind

and i'm here
somewhere between
intentions i've sown
and the failures i've reaped

and i know its too late to fix it now
i could beg till i bled
or tear at your gown
from a hospital bed i wont find my way out of
in silence i've learned, its a short way down

frayed at the edges
I'm torn like a page
from a book never written
of promises i've made

and i'm here
somewhere between
the battles i've lost
and the defeats I have been

and i know its too late to fix it now
i could beg till i bled
or tear at your gown
from a hospital bed i wont find my way out of
in silence i've learned, its a short way down

it's a short way down
Track Name: A Long Road Home (How I Fear)
its a long road home
but not too far down
where i live with my head to the floor
oh how i fear
how i fear

it's a long road home
if its a place at all
a place where you lived
with one foot out the door
oh how i fear
oh how i fear

Its a long road home
now too far to go
i'll die by the side of the road
confuse headlights for halos
oh how i fear
oh how i fear

i'm on my way out
my way out
i'm on my way out
my way out
Track Name: When You Were My Mirror
When you were my mirror in you I'd see
the best parts of me
and you would reflect all the light of the truth
a truth i'd never seen

You were my mirror, and in you I'd gaze
lose myself for days
and you would reflect all the lightness of my youth
a youth i found in you

but i broke you
seven years bad luck
and im two months in
and i never drink enough to ease my pain

When you were my mirror in you'd I'd see
no pain in saddest songs
and you would reflect every melody I'd hear
the soundtrack to your tears

when you were my mirror in you i'd lose
the worst parts of me
and you would reflect all the tragedy i've been
the tragedy i'll be

but I broke you
seven years bad luck
now i cant see myself
and all i see is shadows cast across our walls
and i'm talking to these ghosts who never have much to say
they just haunt to remind that you're not here today

when you were my mirror
in you i'd see the man I want to be
