Hammer 03:42
This World is Made of Stone And I Hold the Hammer I am not a master of this form, Nor the ruler of the land But I have had the fortune to be born With a hammer in my hand This World is Made of Stone And I Hold the Hammer Your woods are lovely, dark and deep But I have promises to keep, my friend As long as I keep two in line, my step will ne'er be out of time And this road will never end This World is Made of Stone And I hold the Hammer I am not a master of this form, Nor a ruler of the land But I have had the fortune to be born With a hammer in my hand And this path is paved in living wood, And it grows with me This World is Made of Stone And I Hold the Hammer

How much do you love her? My beautiful friend If your world was at an end Would it matter? How much do you want her? When you lay in your bed Alone How much does it matter? Is there anyone else? Could there be somebody else? For her? And do you think she'll see What you want her to see in you? You really do now How much do you love her? How much do you love her? Is a beautiful day, Just a beautiful way to hurt? And how do you cut it out? When you've paved your ways around her... When you're fallin' asleep For her But you're wakin' up But there's no one there How much do you love her? Is it worth your suffering?

If you see Then light the way for me And if you're lost Then follow me We'll dance through Flashing lights And laser beams For the world outside is only as it seems Come with me I'll show you where you've been And where you'll go I guess we'll see We'll dance through Flashing lights And laser beams For the world outside is only as it seems I've fallen so far from the light I'm diggin' a hole tryna find it I've given up on my body now Please get me out of here

Convalescent 04:42
These are our voices These are a single flame in song These are our choices These are the roads we travel on These are our fingers Up to their knees in spinning clay These are our hands that grasp, and feet that turn away These are our places These are our every changing homes Oh, can't keep a hold of it for long Convalescent, I've been leaving all this time This is how it feels to be alive. It's like I'm stepping outside for the first time And I can't believe that it's taken me such a long time To manifest the world through my own two eyes, Quiet myself down when I'm tellin' me lies, And start to recognize That this truth is mine That I build the walls between inside and outside And I'm doing the best that I can, But I stand where I stand, And I am only a man, So I can only make the choice to accept this My dialectics, Had me livin' inside a head trip Of perspectives That I would always compare To people and things That I really couldn't see from right here, Yo I was scared. Throughout my life, Someone had told me The way that I was livin aint right, like There's a certain set of things that a man has to have And if you don't have a plan, well how do you get that?? I suppose it just comes And I've only just begun. So I'm takin' a trip up the coast, Make the most of livin' before I turn into a ghost Cause I'm feelin like This is the only world that I'm gonna get, But lost in my thoughts I haven't stopped to see it quite yet, So I get my feet wet, Not knowing if I'm ready for that, But I'm makin' a bet, That givin' up is worth what I get When I let go

I told myself that I was through with climbin' That the fall was just too high But you showed me something that seemed to be worth tryin' So I lifted my gaze to the sky Climbin' your walls wasn't easy Climbin' your walls took some time Enduring it all, only to be leavin' But oh what a view from so up high Well I told myself that I was through with tryin' That the fault was always mine My situation was never worth the cryin' And to the cost, I was always blind Oh, but Climbin' your walls was different Climbin' your walls was worth a try And during it all, oh I've been slippin' But I found you at the bottom When I stopped to do mine Climbin' your walls wasn't easy No, but climbin' your walls was worth the time Enduring it all, only to reach you When I found you at the bottom, You were right there at the bottom All the time
