Masks 03:20
I hid under a reef All my skeletons were sheltering me But I knew I couldn't breathe So, I swam back up to the top of the sea The tidal waves hit me so hard But it's better than being stuck in the dark Hope is raining down So why do we feel alone? It's the result of the walls From the masks that we call home Some guppies came to play There were a million, but one seemed so unique So I asked if he would stay He taught me that the world would see change I learned to dance with the wales and the sharks The complex seaway become water art Hope is raining down So why do we feel alone? The foundation cracks When we try to build a throne We can make it if our chances aren't blown As a result of the walls From the masks that we call home Hope is raining down So why do we feel alone? It's the result of the walls From the masks that we call home Hope is raining down So why do we feel alone? It's the result of the walls From the masks that we call home

Hello Autumn Maple sugary sweet I can't wait to touch your colors to curl up in your leaves I've never had a friend That proved so well the world was changing To pick back up in just awhile The spring rain you'll be saving Chilly orange haze Right where a pumpkin lays And I'll remember harvest weather With a smile on my face All your honeysuckle withers Leaves a drip that I still taste It tricked me for awhile When the warmth all went away I'll remember harvest weather with a smile on my face I'll remember harvest weather with a smile on my face Hello sweetheart With those soft summer lips May I have the pleasure Of a syrupy kiss A sticky reminder Of the things I'll miss When old man winter shows his face I'll think of this Brown horizon gaze Golden leaves ablaze And I'll remember harvest weather With a smile on my face All your honeysuckle withers Leaves a drip that I still taste It tricked me for awhile When the warmth all went away I'll remember harvest weather with a smile on my face I'll remember harvest weather with a smile on my face Ooh Ooh And I'll remember harvest weather With a smile on my face All your honeysuckle withers Leaves a drip that I still taste It tricked me for awhile When the warmth all went away I'll remember harvest weather with a smile on my face I'll remember harvest weather with a smile on my face I'll remember harvest weather with a smile on my face I'll remember harvest weather with a smile on my face

The Ghost 03:49
I wrote a letter to a Ghost To find out his dreams and his hopes And how he could walk through the walls That have been holding me back all along He took a pen and a page He wrote in invisible ink But the meaning would still stay as grave He could see through my skin and my veins He signed it "Sincerely, I'm dead. Could I tell you in person instead?" So he showed up, well halfway I guess And he opened his mouth and he said, We all need somebody to hold us We all need somebody who cares We all need a shelter to come to When the world turns its back on our fears I sat and stared at the wraith Like the monster had taken my brain He held out his wisp of a hand The two of us faded away We drifted out into the fog Looking for something to haunt When no one showed up we realized We'd been haunted ourselves the whole time We gave up and headed indoors An old haunted house by the shore When the spectre turned on all the lights All his friends jumped and yelled out, "surprise!" We all need somebody to hold us We all need somebody who cares We all need a shelter to come to When the world turns its back on our fears We all need somebody to hold us We all need somebody who cares We all need a shelter to come to When the world turns its back on our fears

The Honor 04:20
There's a change that's in the wind I sense it more and more each day There's a fire deep within And I won't let it die away We'll run into the mighty oceans And we won't even get wet Cause strange things happen we're together And it's unstoppable I bet We reflect on the mirrors on the walls A ballroom floor becomes an endless hall It would be an honor To be with you forever, yeah Through thick and through thin Our love never ends Oh no, Oh no, Yeah Yeah, the world might pass away And the universe go dark Our lvoe will still remain From just one tiny spark We'll never have to miss a single waltz The bathroom floor can become a ballroom hall It would be an honor To be with you forever, yeah Through thick and through thin Our love never ends Oh no, Oh no I wanna thank you For waking up my soul And everyone has lost control We'll laugh, We'll laugh Cause we have each other It would be an honor To be with you forever, yeah Through thick and through thin Our love never ends Oh no, Oh no It would be an honor To be with you forever, yeah Through thick and through thin Our love never ends Oh no, Oh no, yeah

Father Christmas I'm missing the time that I had For Christmas I want it all back And I bet the snowflakes Can carry it my way Then winter, it won't be so sad On a highway I drive by gingerbread homes Their sugarplum chimneys are froze But the warmth inside rises And melts all the icing But I keep on driving alone Fa la la, Fa la la, Fa la la, La la la Fa la la, Fa la la, Fa la la, La la la Fa la la, Fa la la, Fa la la, La la la la I need Jesus To tell me that love isn't bought In a store. It's found out in the lot By a couple of brothers Who needed each other When their world had been torn apart Fa la la, Fa la la, Fa la la, La la la Fa la la, Fa la la, Fa la la, La la la Fa la la, Fa la la, Fa la la, La la la la Merry Christmas to us all When the snowmen start to fall We won't forget, all the time that we spent With the ones that we cherish and love Fa la la, Fa la la, Fa la la, La la la Fa la la, Fa la la, Fa la la, La la la Fa la la, Fa la la, Fa la la, La la la la
