\/>\nEven the ache that these thoughts slowly bring.<br \/>\nOh it\u2019s a word or two<br \/>\nThat makes a thought go through<br \/>\nMy mind of times gone from my life.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re so much more than me<br \/>\nMore than I\u2019ll ever be.<br \/>\nI\u2019m left holding my heart out in my hand<br \/>\nPlease don\u2019t pity me, please know I understand<\/p>\n<p>Faded old photographs of things long since past<br \/>\nI will not forget them, forever they\u2019ll last<br \/>\nThey\u2019ll stay in my heart<br \/>\nBeautiful as stars<br \/>\nThey\u2019ll play for today, wash me away.<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve a life still to live<br \/>\nUnlike me you still have a heart to give<br \/>\nHow could I ever be so selfishly blinded by envy<br \/>\nThat I could not see that some memories<br \/>\nAren\u2019t meant to leave traces in other people\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"ashes\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Ashes and Dust<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sitting in the ashes of what was a life<br \/>\nBefore it burned up I thought I was alright,<br \/>\nBut now it\u2019s all dust<br \/>\nAnd I tried to save us<br \/>\nBut I just couldn\u2019t muster the strength.<\/p>\n<p>Oh the deadly sweet taste<br \/>\nOf the trust so misplaced<br \/>\nIn myself is now bitter regret<br \/>\nWhen it went up in flames<br \/>\nAnd left me with the blame<br \/>\nOh the pain I will never forget<\/p>\n<p>But now it\u2019s all dust<br \/>\nAnd I tried to save us<br \/>\nBut I just couldn\u2019t muster the strength<br \/>\nTo myself I lied<br \/>\nTold myself that I tried<br \/>\nThat ever would I fight to the end<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p>Softly sinking as I grope<br \/>\nI am slowly slipping down the slope<br \/>\nOf the foolish lies that I have told<br \/>\nThat are now too slippery to hold<br \/>\nTell myself I cannot change<br \/>\nWhat I am but all the same<br \/>\nI still know I am the one to blame<br \/>\nWill my efforts always be in vain?<\/p>\n<p>Oh I burned up my life<br \/>\nWith my eyes shut up tight<br \/>\nNow it feels like a knife in my back<br \/>\nAnd what\u2019s left of it now<br \/>\nI really don\u2019t know how<br \/>\nI can pick up the pieces again.<\/p>\n<p>Ashes and Dust as I\u2019m lying here crushed,<br \/>\nIt\u2019s all slipping away through my fingers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Praying For Rain<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When I walk in silence<br \/>\nMemories rise with violence.<br \/>\nLosses linger, pain grows sharp<br \/>\nAshes cloud the sky so dark.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m praying for rain,<br \/>\nFather give me the strength<br \/>\nWhen it stings my bare back to rejoice<br \/>\nGod I\u2019m begging you now<br \/>\nFor the rain to fall down<br \/>\nCause it keeps me moving on when I pray<br \/>\nFor rain<\/p>\n<p>Remedy my life with rain<br \/>\nHeal this broken heart with pain<br \/>\nAfter all this I should know<br \/>\nComfort kills me, hardships grow<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p>Praying for rain,<br \/>\nBecause I won\u2019t stay the same<br \/>\nIt\u2019ll kill me or make me more strong<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<br \/>\n<a name=\"undone\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Can\u2019t Come Undone<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Oh I am feeling so up tight<br \/>\nAnd all I know is that it hurts inside<br \/>\nAnd I\u2019m sitting here in silence \u2018cause the words just won\u2019t come<br \/>\nAnd all the pressure\u2019s building up \u2018cause I can\u2019t come undone.<\/p>\n<p>I wanna cry, let it all out,<br \/>\nBut when I try I can\u2019t make a sound.<\/p>\n<p>Oh I don\u2019t wanna love you right now<br \/>\nI know I say that every time I\u2019m down<br \/>\nBut I\u2019m sitting here in silence \u2018cause the words just won\u2019 come<br \/>\nAnd all the pressure\u2019s building up \u2018cause I can\u2019t come undone.<\/p>\n<p>I wanna cry, let it all out,<br \/>\nBut when I try I can\u2019t make a sound<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re sitting there and you just can\u2019t come undone<br \/>\nWhile you\u2019re sitting staring blankly wishing that you could just run away<br \/>\nAnd scream and let all the stuff out that\u2019s caged inside of you\u2026<br \/>\nWill you have the strength to spit it out and tear your way through?<br \/>\nAnd you just can\u2019t hold it in, but you just can\u2019t let it out,<br \/>\nSo whatya do my friend just hobble around?<br \/>\nAnd hope that someone somewhere sometime picks you out from the crowd<br \/>\nOf people surrounding you who feel it to with nothing to do?<br \/>\nThey\u2019re just like you!<\/p>\n<p>Right now it\u2019s just a little hard to think.<br \/>\n\u2018Cause there\u2019s a silent storm that you can\u2019t see.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s slowly growing stronger, but I don\u2019t know what that means\u2026<br \/>\nStill somehow it just won\u2019t seem to release.<\/p>\n<p>(First Verse)<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"ashes\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>You\u2019re Beautiful To Me<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Oh I don\u2019t ever want to leave behind<br \/>\nYour deep

will always forever be friends<br \/>\nI know we have both made mistakes just like everyone<br \/>\nBut I don\u2019t believe that I\u2019ll ever be sorry or done<br \/>\nWith us<\/p>\n<p>All those nights we\u2019d lie and watch the stars,<br \/>\nThey\u2019re written on my heart.<br \/>\nAnd once the moon rose from behind the lake\u2026<br \/>\nIt\u2019s by my bed to this day.<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p>If God ever<br \/>\nParts our ways<br \/>\nI just wanna say\u2026 You\u2019re beautiful to me.<br \/>\nI hope you don\u2019t forget what I just said\u2026<br \/>\nSo just in case, I\u2019ll say it once again.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"wings\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Wings of Love<\/b><\/p>\n<p>All I need is for you to care about me,<br \/>\nI gave you my heart and I try to be

me I\u2019m the one running away.<br \/>\nSo I guess I\u2019ll sit and wait<br \/>\nAnd cry over my mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Bring forth from the pieces of this wretched life<br \/>\nA joy in my heart carved by agony\u2019s knife<br \/>\nWhen fate feeds my apathy and I lose this fight<br \/>\nRaise hope on the wings of love to dance through the night.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m struggling through to the best of my abilities,<br \/>\nI\u2019m trying and trying but you never tell me you see.<br \/>\nSo does that mean I\u2019m not enough?<br \/>\n\u2018Cause if it does, I\u2019m out of luck.<br \/>\nI\u2019ve been feeling so hurt, so lost and alone,<br \/>\nI see all my faults and mistakes and I hate them, Oh you should know.<br \/>\nSome how it seems you don\u2019t,<br \/>\nWhich hurts a lot more than you know.<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p>If I start believing the lies told by fate,<br \/>\nStill love whispers softly it\u2019ll all be ok.<br \/>\nJust keep on believing and hold on to hope,<br \/>\nDon\u2019t ever stop loving, don\u2019t ever let go.<\/p>\n<p>Brought forth from the pieces of this wretched life<br \/>\nIs a joy in my heart carved by agony.<br \/>\nFate won\u2019t feed my apathy when I\u2019m not enough,<br \/>\n\u2018Cause hope\u2019s flying high on the wings of love.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"world\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>It Means The World<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Over time I\u2019ve slowly learned<br \/>\nWhen there\u2019s nowhere left to turn,<br \/>\nThen the only thing that dulls the sting<br \/>\nIs to sing out all the hurt.<br \/>\nSometimes life gets so surreal<br \/>\nAnd there\u2019s only pain to feel.<br \/>\nInspiration dies and despite my tries,<br \/>\nWhat\u2019s left is just too real.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019ll close my eyes and sing for you,<br

listen\u2026<br \/>\nSo I\u2019m giving you all that\u2019s left<br \/>\nOf me after all this mess<br \/>\nI\u2019ve opened my heart I hope you see<br \/>\nA little bit of beauty.<\/p>\n<p>Son these notes will fade away<br \/>\nAnd the feelings that they make<br \/>\nWill be left behind and will dim and die<br \/>\n\u2018Cause that\u2019s always been their fate.<br \/>\nOh the music won\u2019t last long,<br \/>\nAnd in a moment I\u2019ll be gone,<br \/>\nBut because you stopped just to hear me talk,<br \/>\nOh tomorrow I\u2019ll keep

love.<br \/>\nWhile right now it\u2019s quiet, and everything\u2019s calm,<br \/>\nRight here in this moment is where you belong.<\/p>\n<p>Can you hear the sound of silence?<br \/>\nIt rings so dead and cold.<br \/>\nEven amidst all our meaningless noise,<br \/>\nIt will leave a gaping hole.<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p>Think of all the beauty throughout all your life<br \/>\nWrought by the bruises, the scars and the fights<br \/>\nIf you listen careful, and slow down your heart,<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll hear the very subtle quiet of God.<\/p>\n<p>(Verse 1)<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"road\"><\/a><br
