1.
Overwhelmed by places I cannot erase the memory of our fall Oh, but it’s a time to recognize my saints But I’m not waking up at all Pray over my head Fill up on the bread It’s all that I have to give while you may violently repent For something I said But I never asked for a second chance Just for this one to be a life I won’t resent CHORUS I see faces and colors That long for each other But I can’t live in the palm of your hand Sisters and Brothers Look out for each other For who wants to be misled Oh… Open wide our stances For the silent dances are not just for us to be redeemed Every breath we take is overturned By our intentions of getting to where we want to be Pray over my head That I may be well fed That we may discover love before we’re old And before our deathbed May we be protected from dangers and lies in the stories we have been told CHORUS I see faces and colors Love one another

Holding On 03:52
I fall apart in my head in this space All of the life is in my suitcase Lonely I wander in this place but I find a way To bet on the wires Bet on the cold hopes of our ship to unfold And stamp out the waters, useless desires All of it with our stories untold CHORUS: This is me holding on This is me holding on Bound to the certainties Comfort I just can’t leave Do I trust your ways Bound to desires of the life I never wanted anyway And all that I’m asking for is an opportunity to escape But all I have found is the lack of courage not to stay CHORUS Past the breaking point Past the breaking point Past the breaking point Lonely I wander past the breaking point Unpack my suitcase Lonely I wander past the breaking point Dream of a new place
3.
And I Try 04:06
I could count the reasons I’ve had Like the stars I’ll never ever run out of them But our nights are numbered and I’ve fed myself with every list of why I should turn around But I know I’ll know better when all my chances have just slipped away But my shaking fingers cannot turn the handle When I don’t know the forecast beyond today CHORUS And I try And I try And I try to let it go But I’m not so rational Can I find Can I find Can I find a ray of hope That somehow, someday I’ll find a way I go weak when I think of how you might wonder what I am wondering But still my tongue finds it hard to speak And so I find myself fumbling For words to tell you that you should know what I’m feeling Before it’s much too late Still I’ve had my share of opening empty cases And the broken piece is telling me love can wait CHORUS All my, all my questions have just piled up high trying to make my case that All my, all my fears have been answered and I’ve only got myself to blame that Oh my, oh my hands are shaking Oh my, oh my But I’m awake and Oh my, oh my Heart is racing Oh my Please say that I’m not too late CHORUS

Move On 03:56
This is a quiet prayer for the ones who we have lost And the ones we’ve yet to lose but are gone We long for unbridled joy in the moments we have shared the same air We breathe with you CHORUS Move on with love Move on for me Move on for love Move on Say the word and I will follow you until the earth is no longer beneath the footsteps I have made And I will miss you until the air is gone from my lungs and the thumping in my chest goes away CHORUS Hope, I will wear you like a ring Sometimes it’s the only comforting thing Hope, I will wear you when I’m wondering When time will take away this beautiful sting CHORUS I will hold on to a picture of you there For now, it’s as close as I can get to you
5.
You can see my branches on the ground You can hear the voices, bitter sounds You can feel the dirt underneath your feet It’s gone and made a mess of me PRE-CHORUS: Swallow your pride Be strong Don’t follow the tide It’s wrong to fight against a beating heart It’s only hardest at the start CHORUS: All I want is for you to put me back together Put me back together All I want is for you to put me back together Put me back together Can you feel my last trace of my acclaim Has fallen with my fight to be known by my name Can you see that I’m not strong, I am weak Can you tell that I’m not who I was made to be PRE-CHORUS (I can’t, I can’t, I can’t) CHORUS And all I want… Wrap your arms around the scars Around the tears Around the reasons why we’re scared of who we are Around our faults Around our dreams Around the pieces of ourselves that have been torn apart We’ve been torn apart All I want is for you to put me back together Put me back together All I want is for you to put me back together Put me back together
