Track Name: Better
I’m lonely tonight
don’t come one step closer
your heart is not mine to break

chorus:
I may have burned some bridges to build these walls
I’m not always ashamed, your heart is safer this way
I’d like to think we’re better, we can laugh about it now
I was wrong. I was wrong. I am wrong.

I'm tired tonight
I can't stand one more argument
I'm just so tired of winning

I know that we’re not better
I know that you’re not better
you’re still crying for me
I was wrong. I was wrong. I am sorry.
Track Name: Branches
You stole my heart
please leave my soul
I can live without you
if you’re not a part of me

chorus:
I loved you, it’s true
but lower your branches, dear
winter is here

I thought about
the way our roots
are tangled
they need to break!

bridge:
So many times I’ve said I’m okay when I’M NOT.

I never intended to hurt your pretty leaves. Still your bark is peeling off. Perhaps the changing seasons are to blame. Please don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’m a man then, and now, and when we say goodbye. I won’t be cryin’. I can live without you.

I never intended to hurt your pretty leaves & lovely bark. I guess it’s just one of the side effects of love falling apart. I’m sorry.. I don’t really know what else to say to make it right.

You stole my heart
please leave my soul..
Track Name: Echoes
Oh my God
why does this still hurt?
I heard that
you could heal this pain
but maybe I heard something wrong

Jesus
I called your name
and all I heard
was my echo

I think it
gets harder each day
and I wish there
was another way
but you don’t get off so easy

Jesus
I called your name
and all I heard
was my echo

Jesus
I called your name
and now I hear
your answer
Track Name: Wretch
I took a walk, to the convenience store
just to see if anyone knew my name.
I came home, the same as before,
but, I don’t think anyone’s to blame

I decided to go down to the lake
see how it was doing without the rain.
I felt the same, as if I were a half-dry lake
waiting for that living water
and when I looked down, oh, I looked down
saw him and her, hand within hand

I thought about the moon
how it might feel lonely, but it’s not alone
if it opens her mournful eyes, sometimes the earth is near
but right now - I am very close.

I looked through a cold, blue window
saw a mother and son, alone, I wondered
why it was this way! I don’t understand..
but I believe in a better way, if you trust in a better way

I knew a girl from a big, bright city
that was only good for packing up and leaving
she’s so young, but oh, so pretty!
Penelope, oh, Penelope..

I thought about all the hurting people in the world
and my problems seem so small to compare!
Who am I to complain? I’ve got a heart
and two perfectly fine hands!

Jesus died to save this beloved wretch!
my God cried to save this beloved wretch!
Track Name: Yana
From the 15th story, his voice resounds
"I cannot live with this pain which abounds!"
his feet left the rooftop, and fell to the blacktop
sometime in sick summertime

chorus:
You are not alone
Your tears are heard
Just pick up the phone
Hear this one word

refrain:
You are not alone!

With a cold glass of water, to wash it down
the pills found their mark inside her stomach
she left life as usual, her face all up in a frown
thinking no one knew how she cried (oh, how she cried)

(chorus) (refrain)

bridge:
I've got the scars to show
this is the truth, I know..

(chorus) (refrain)
Track Name: Sound
The sound of waiting
the feeling of hope
the light is dawning
love, survived the night

I believe, we can
I believe, we have a chance
to be better
we can be better!
