White as Gold

Forged by our leaders
Can these old seasons
Rectify the means before the cause
Stepping forth from the embers white as gold
And wrapped in crimson
The beauty's here if you see it
The music's real if you listen
Can we sow, can we grow on this island
Of dissent
Can we commit, can we admit
To something
And our heads, head for the hills
When history's darkness is revealed, please don't run
For the morning's coming
We can this world the way we need
And our generation has a song that sounds so different to everyone
We can sow, we can grow on this island
Of existence
We can commit, we can admit
To something
And freedom is a chain for us
And peace is lies they told to us
A photograph's what we've become
Our future is a beating drum
And we will hear the story now
I wish I could believe that somehow
We will persevere
And not be another casualty
I want what you have promised me
I need a little spark of hope
I want to be as white as gold

I'm beyond words
For you have said yours and I
Think we both see
That there's nothing here left for me
So I guess the time has now come
Though it's clear that it's just one of us
That may make it out alive
So knowing now that this table's set
Do I sit and eat, all of my lies
That tell me I'm fine, when I'm not
You have heard all I've got
Guess there's nothing more here I can offer
Maybe it's better for you, to jump out of your views and
Make some mistakes for a while
Thought I won't be the one to be at
All the places where you might land
We have memories and chemistry
That tears at every part of me now, so deep inside
So knowing now that this table's set
Do I sit and eat, all of my lies
That tell me I'm fine, some time
Can mend, things we have done to our own end
Hope you can see that I, won't eat alone
I'll wait til' we both, meet again

If we both, take a moment
Can we follow the dreams that we've spun?
I don't know, if I'm able
To pack up my bags and just run
If we go at the same time, I guarantee we will not last
How I hope, that I can do, a shred of the things that you ask
And I wait for reality to fall like the rain from the sky
And I want, I want you so bad that I will not be denied
Strike down the stars that don't believe
Drive out the demons hiding inside of me
Warm up our souls with your bodies words
Lay with me, hopes and dreams
Until we leave this world
I am here, I am waiting
For you to come around
And believe, I won't leave this place
Unless I show you what I've found
Strike down the stars that don't believe
Drive out the demons hiding inside of me
Warm up our souls with your bodies words
Lay with me, hopes and dreams
Until we leave this world

They have released "The Dawn EP" in 2010, "The Dark EP" in 2011, and their first full length produced by John Vanderslice June 2012, "This Dreamt Existence".
