Convocation Lyrics
[Intro: Instrumental]
Transmission Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m here reaching out again
Lean into the wind on my knees
My fear is a memory
It’s a reverie and I’m free
I wanna take this crown from my head
I wanna build something with my hands
[Chorus]
I will send a transmission home
To say that I’ve been out here too long alone
And I wanna come down now
I will send a transmission home
To say I should have called in so long ago
And I wanna come down
[Verse 2]
Life comes at the speed of light
But there’s a place in time for me
When love runs into every day
Over every place that I’ve been
I wanna wipe these stars from my eyes
I wanna search and see what I find
[Chorus]
I will send a transmission home
To say that I’ve been out here too long alone
And I wanna come down now
I will send a transmission home
To say I should have called in so long ago
And I wanna come down
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I will send a transmission home
To say that I’ve been out here too long alone
And I wanna come down now
I will send a transmission home
To say I should have called in so long ago
And I wanna come down now
Crash the Gates Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Something here, it never looks right
We've been fighting on the front lines for so long
I go digging in a graveyard
To find the remnants of your heart but it's gone
And I won't wait for my revenge
I will seek to see the end
And I won't sing a battle cry
I will let the sleepless lie
[Chorus 1]
Sing, "oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh"
Crash the gates, light a fire, and watch it burn
Sing, "oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh"
Storm the walls, light a fire, and watch it burn
Sing, "oh oh oh"
[Verse 2]
Now it's crying all around us
Smoke rising from the ground up and I stare
You go digging in a graveyard
But the remnants of my heart are nowhere
And I won't crave to feel contempt
I will faithfully forget
And I won't claim a victory
I will revel silently
[Chorus 2]
Sing, "oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh"
Crash the gates, light a fire, and watch it burn
Sing, "oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh"
Storm the walls, light a fire, and watch it burn
[Bridge]
Sing, "oh oh oh oh"
[Chorus 2]
Sing, "oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh"
Crash the gates, light a fire, and watch it burn
Sing, "oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh"
Storm the walls, light a fire, and watch it burn
Make Me So Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Turn around before you go
Look in your eyes is letting me know
I hear you breathing out
My house of cards is coming down
I thought we were alive
Thought it was like when planets align
You dreamt of some better place
Some better love with some better name
[Chorus 1]
Why, why do you make me so?
Why, why do you let me go?
[Verse 2]
Close calls hang by a thread
I never could forget what you said
Too late don't want to be saved
These are the choices that we gotta make
Truth is the world's gonna spin
With or without you, again and again
If I ever escape, I'm gonna love and give it a name
[Chorus 2]
Why, why do you make me so?
Why, why do you let me go?
Why do I lose my head?
You make me so
Why do I lose myself?
You let me go
[Bridge]
You dreamt of some better place
Some better love with some better name
If I ever escape, I'm gonna love and give it a name
[Chorus 3]
Why, why do you make me so?
Why, why do you let me go?
Why do I lose my head?
You make me so
Why do I lose myself?
You let me go
Yeah, yeah (Why do you make me so?)
Why do you make me so?
Yeah, yeah (Why do you let me go?)
Why do you let me go?
One Bedroom Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stay the night
Touch the sky with me
We can live like we have forever
Spend your days
Watch the waves with me
We can love like we are forever
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re the light from the moon tonight
You’re the history I will write
You’re the last stop and I arrive
You’re the one for the rest of time
[Chorus 1]
What good could I do
In a life without you?
What more could I lose
Than what I found in you?
[Verse 2]
When you’re gone
You belong with me
‘Cause you know that we are forever
Take your time
To realize, you’ll see
We will always be here forever
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
What words could I use
To say all this to you?
What verse could I choose
To give myself to you?
[Hook]
I wanna love with you and live, yeah
Live right here forever
Fragile and Dear Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We spent years on a tear to get away
You and I, we revived yesterdays
But, the movements in between our hearts' desires
Oh, they changed so suddenly and we expired
[Chorus]
You can't know
The way it feels
To lose something so
Fragile and dear
To you
Hold you up against the light
Speak the truth and say goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
[Verse 2]
I'm trying so hard
To get free
But, you still
Come back and haunt me
[Pre-Chorus]
And the movements that divide our hearts' desires
All the reasons that I knew we would expire
[Chorus - x3]
Illuminate Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's hard to think where we began
We were born and learned to stand
Recollections scattered out inside my head
We came across a broken road
With broken hearts that overflowed
Taking turns and never knowing where they lead
[Chorus]
Do you picture me?
What do you see?
Maybe a future full of unwritten things
We hope to run
From what's been done
Look for a future no one else has sung
[Verse 2]
Records on the speakers blown
Fill the air with what we know
Climb a ladder up and hang a hopeful sign
Never lonely, never lost
Never scared to jump across
Revolutions come and go, but we survive
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Our darkest days are done (Illuminate)
Rise like the brightest sun (Illuminate)
Our darkest days are done (Illuminate)
Rise like the brightest sun
[Outro]
As we get warm, ice will get thin
We'll become ghosts, together again
As we ascend, air will get thin
We'll become ghosts, together again
Madrid Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take me home
Take me home
I am lost in the world
All I know
All I know
Is that I miss you more
[Pre-Chorus]
It was cold on the street
And my heart skipped a beat
When you said you'd be mine
Now I fear I might freeze
So, I'm asking you please
Would you let me inside
[Chorus]
Oh, you never change
So, that's why I stay
Oh, I'll never go
So, you won't be alone
[Verse 2]
Which way now
Which way now
Is this road gonna end?
Tell me how
Tell me how
I am wandering again
The Deepest Well Lyrics
[Verse 1-Yellowcard]
I see the barricades ahead
Roll my sleeves up, lift my head
I hear you well, what can't be done
You are many, I am one
And what becomes, it's hard to tell
Like looking down the deepest well
But I will take a torch with me
And light the way for you to see
[Pre-Chorus: Matty Mullins]
Do you understand, what it's for?
This dirt is on my hands, blood on yours
[Chorus-Yellowcard]
I was crawling up the walls for so long
(You were pulling me down, pulling me)
I was trying not to fall for so long
(Now I'm gonna get out, gonna get) out
[Verse 2-Yellowcard]
Compliments like falling rocks
Are ticking bombs with faulty clocks
And I will not be fooled again
I took my means and found my end
Took all the days from then to now
The steps I climbed to show you how
Small the world would seem to be
When you forget what you believed
[Pre-Chorus-Yellowcard]
Do you understand, what it's for?
This dirt is on my hands, blood on yours
[Chorus - -Yellowcard]
I was crawling up the walls for so long
(You were pulling me down, pulling me)
I was trying not to fall for so long
(Now I'm gonna get out, gonna get) out
I was crawling up the walls for so long
(You were pulling me down, pulling me)
I was trying not to fall for so long
(Now I'm gonna get out, gonna get) out
Lift a Sail Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
If a cold wind starts to rise
I am ready now, I am ready now
With the last sail lifted high
I am ready now, I am ready now
[Verse 1]
All the wreckage I left behind
I burned the earth beneath my weary weakened feet
Feel my heart stop and lift my eyes
I can’t choose when to love
Or who I am part of
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 2]
I was so wrong and unaware
I locked myself away
I thought that I’d be safe
Then I realized I’d gone nowhere
And life is just too sweet to lie in this defeat
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
If a storm blows in on me
I am ready now, I am ready now
When the waves come from underneath
I am ready now, I am ready
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
MSK Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Storybooks I thought
Written for my heart
From my fingers fall
With you gone I break
Drifting off in space
Can you hear me call?
[Pre-Chorus] x2
I need you
Need you
I need you
[Chorus]
As all these mornings turn
Into brand new days
Everything still hurts
You're so far away
I would dig a hole
Through the Earth and crawl
To get to you [x2]
[Verse 2]
Wicked dreams they come
When I sleep alone
So I stay awake
Thinking "No-oh-oh"
How I miss her so
How long must I await?
[Pre-Chorus] x2
[Chorus]
As all these mornings turn
Into brand new days
Everything still hurts
You're so far away
I would dig a hole
Through the Earth and crawl
To get to you
[Pre-Chorus] x2
My Mountain Lyrics
[was] written from the… Read More [Verse 1]
I am on my mountain
I am there with her
I can see it all so clear
I am young again up here
[Chorus]
I can’t come back from where I’ve gone but I’ll be close
I’ve left myself in every song, in every note
And if you need me, I will never be too far
I’m always with you like the child in your heart
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I have found my mountain
I can be with her
When I finally came across
I recovered all I lost
[Chorus]
California Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me secrets
Cause I know you're scared
And you dream of California tonight
If you wait up
I can meet you there
And we could be in California tonight
[Chorus]
When everything that I can see
Goes dark I feel you here with me
And I, I'm holding on to you
When shadows try to swallow me
You're the only light I'll ever need
And I, I'm holding on to you
[Verse 2]
Tell me all this
Was another life
And what it's like in California tonight
Where the sun sets
In a perfect sky
I wanna be in California tonight
[Chorus]
When everything that I can see
Goes dark I feel you here with me
And I, I'm holding on to you
When shadows try to swallow me
You're the only light I'll ever need
And I, I'm holding on to you
[Bridge]
Salt in the air
Blood in my veins
No more black clouds
Just colorful days
Salt in the air
Blood in my veins
No more black clouds
Just colorful days
[Chorus]
When everything that I can see
Goes dark I feel you here with me
And I, I'm holding on to you
When shadows try to swallow me
You're the only light I'll ever need
And I, I'm holding on to you
[Outro]
Tell me secrets
Cause I know you're scared
And you dream of California tonight
