Track Name: Join Together (Alternate Version)
I lay sleepless in my bedroom
Terrified by silence
Controlled by thoughts of brighter days
Brighter days

Come and join the chorus

And it would be good for my soul
If I could only sing a kind of melody
And the world would show
But i spend most my life
Caught beneath the web of plans I made

Join together
We are doomed

And it would be good for my soul
If I could only sing a kind of melody
And the world would show
But i spend most my life
Caught beneath the web of plans I made

Join together
We are doomed
Track Name: What Lies Ahead?
A broken down house
Sits alone in the grass and trees
The wind spreads the seeds

A brave old soul
Turns his frame to the setting sun
His time has come

Whisper of the past,
Louder than what lies ahead
What lies ahead?
What lies ahead?

Sail away,
Sit alone in a concrete space,
Can't bear to show my face

Your presence,
No longer a thought of mine,
No ties to bind

Whisper of the past,
Louder than what lies ahead
What lies ahead?
What lies ahead?
Track Name: Here I Am
Here I am, under control now
Asking you to move on
Here I am, giving you answers
To the questions on your mind

Will you find it for yourself?
I don't mind
But why'd you have to turn
This whole thing around
In my face?
Like I need you anyway,
You put me on display

We've gone miles together,
Now I have to push you away
Here I am, what can I give you
To make us forget?
Track Name: Join Together
I won't hear the old excuses
I'm tired of empty music
I hope for brighter days ahead

We must join together, lift eachother
Break the bonds that hold us

I pray mistakes can be corrected
Ever we're directed
Down paths that polarize our fates

So we must join together, lift eachother
Break the bonds that hold us
Come and join together, bring us higher
Far above all we see
Far above the broken world we made

Try to write it on a page
I'm not the one to write what we're trying to say
Now I make my case
I don't know what it will take

Come and join the music
Come and take your place
Track Name: The Easy Road
Whisper's floating to my ears
All of the time
In our mind
The easy road finds the answer

We're not happy, we're not sad
Just misunderstood
Nothing we seem to gain
Makes us feel whole

We are out
Asking all these people simple questions
Turn around
Hope that the wind wont catch me
Sleeping soundly
Or running around with my eyes shut
But it's easier to make my own rules

Changing seasons, the age of reason
Has dried up the bones
What do they know?
Fire and stone, oh no
So it goes
