Track Name: In Your Hands: This is a lonely life you chose
Whats in your heart nobody knows
You've got your money saved up now
Is it enough to bail you out?

There is a line you've never crossed
Still trying to get back all you lost
And when you see the time you waste
Will you still make the same mistakes?

And now its in your hands
So this is where you make your stand
When you see your name in lights
Will it all be worth the fight?

Nobody's standing in your way
Track Name: Only Human: You're only human to wonder why you're here
The pain of losing, is it everything we fear?
We're all we've got now
The past is sinking in the sea
We're under water
But tell me how can you still breathe?

Our lives seem to float in the air
And when we land there's a hard cross to bear

It's only human to think its all your fault
You've got the bruises and all your wounds are filled with salt
But it's not the end now for you
Just make yourself believe
You've got the answer
And it's the only thing you need

When the light catches up to the dark

Our lives seem to float in the air
And when we land there's a hard cross to bear
Track Name: Right on Time: In the middle of nowhere, when it mattered most
I was walking a fine line, and I walked it way too close
We praise the beginning but I love her to the end
Well she came into my world right on time

We've all been the victim of a solitary heart
And while I was waiting it was tearing me apart
Someday when its over we'll have nothing left to give
And somehow the end will come right on time

Just take what you want now
