Lyrics from:  Stirring Up The Echoes

CAUTIONARY TALE

BY: Khawaja, Marsh, Unger

Blinking yellow lights

Speak the cautionary tale for me tonight

Those eyes deceive more than open-ended lips can lie

Damn the nightmares that keep demons in my mind

Caught in a hesitation

Lost in this situation

Can’t stop….Think it through (hysteria)

This pace is far to slow

There’s nowhere else I can go

I’m the last one standing

With a blink of your eyes

With a blink of your eye ‘ohh you can control me

Blinking yellow lights

Speak the cautionary tale for me tonight

Those eyes deceive more than open-ended lips can lie

Damn the nightmares that keep demons in my mind

I thought I knew about it

But I just can’t keep up

This is the struggle to get through

The windows shut around me

My fingers caught in panes

But I’ll just keep movin’

With a blink of your eyes

With a blink of your eye ‘ohh you can control me

Blinking yellow lights

Speak the cautionary tale for me tonight

Those eyes deceive more than open-ended lips can lie

Damn the nightmares that keep demons in my mind

GUILTY NIGHT

LYRICS: Khawaja and Unger

This dark and guilty night

Life came into sight

Try to feel again

Who’s to say what’s right

It took the lonely mess with fear caught in its eyes

Try to feel again

Life came into sight

Try to feel again

Try to feel again

This dark and guilty night

Something just ain’t right

But I can see again

Something just ain’t right

This dark and guilty night

Something just ain’t right

But I can see again

Pain open my eyes

I took the message

And I ran towards it’s light

But I can see again

Dark and guilty night

Try to feel again

Try to feel again

Try to feel again

THE SIGNAL

LYRICS: Khawaja and Unger

Washed up and tired of the same old drill

I’ve learned my lessons on what is real

Washed up and tired of the same old thing

Like a long exposure of this moving life

The lights all strain

And we get these signals as we walk on by

Who gets the message

Who wonders why

I put my finger on it Saturday night

And I knew that everything was not going right

And I saw through my eyes

Took the truth from the lies

It ain’t right it ain’t right it was wrong

I put my finger on it Saturday night

And I knew that everything was not going right

And I saw through my eyes

Took the truth from the lies

It ain’t right it ain’t right it was wrong

Washed up and tired of the same old drill

I’ve learned my lessons on what is real

Washed up and tired

Washed up and tired

The same old drill

Washed up and tired

It’s like a long exposure of this moving life

The lights all strain

Just like a long exposure of this moving life

The lights all strain

I put my finger on it Saturday night

And I knew that everything was not going right

And I saw through my eyes

Took the truth from the lies

It ain’t right it ain’t right it was wrong

I put my finger on it Saturday night

And I knew that everything was not going right

And I saw through my eyes

Took the truth from the lies

It ain’t right it ain’t right it was wrong

RUN TO REWIND

LYRICS: Khawaja and Unger

Inside my old mind

Thoughts left behind

In what direction

Could I run to rewind

Don’t say its too late

And keep it all inside

I can’t find the answer

Should I run to rewind

I found myself in your clouded water (I found myself)

It seems so clear to me (I found myself)

We grew farther

I found myself in your clouded water (I found myself)

It seems so clear to me (I found myself)

We grew farther (I found myself)

Beneath the disguise

Words left to find

In which direction do I

Run to rewind

It can’t be too late

And leave it all behind

I can’t find the answer

Could I pause this place in time

It can’t be too late

Inside this new mind

Thoughts realized

In this direction I will

Run to rewind

I can’t deny it

And I recognize

That I found the answer

Now I run to rewind

I found myself in your clouded water (I found myself)

It seems so clear to me (I found myself)

We grew farther

I found myself in your clouded water (I found myself)

It seems so clear to me (I found myself)

We grew farther (I found myself)

LEARN TO LIVE

LYRICS: Khawaja, Unger

In this life we all get knocked around

In this life we all get the run around

With these times

We strive to move on again

In our lives we’ll wave goodbye to friends

Throughout our lives we’ll learn to mend

With these times

We will hear laughter again

In our thoughts we tend to fool ourselves

In our minds we lost what’s felt

In these hands

We’ll find answers again

When we hurt

We strive to rise above

On this path

We’ll rediscover

In time we will learn to live life again

THINK BACK

LYRICS: Khawaja and Unger

This life is not the same

This life is not the same

This life is not the same

Not the same, Not the same

Turn back to another day

Things aren’t quite the same

I won’t run and hide from the inside

Could it be too late

To make a change

I keep on doubting myself

Stole my silence with the pastime

I am not a needle in the hay

Think back to a different day

Right back where you thought this started from

Things end in different ways

Right deep down below you in your soul

Think back to a different day

Right back where you thought this started from

Things end in different ways

Right deep down below you in your soul

This life is not the same

This life is not the same

This life is not the same

Not the same

Not the same

Thought I knew the way

Lying in the shadows of dawn

Words ashamed by some plastic thoughts

Hard to seek a compromise

Ideas move on by

I will climb out from the surface

I am not a needle in the hay

Think back to a different day

Right back where you thought this started from

Things end in different ways

Right deep down below you in your soul

Think back to a different day

Right back where you thought this started from

Things end in different ways

Right deep down below you in your soul

RUN AROUND

LYRICS: Khawaja and Unger

At sixteen you were droppin’ this off in my thoughts

By now you’d think that they’d get lost

Well I am here and I am telling you that they’re found

I see your run around

I see around you

Since there’s a lot on your mind

Well I think it’s time

To let me know

What you want me to see

What you want me to do

Have you dropped the time

Have you lost control again

Was it worth the risk getting’ in this hole

Is this right, well you don’t know

At twenty-four you were knocking on my door

What now do you think you’ll use me for

Well it’s sound and I am telling you that it’s clear

I see the end is near

I see the end

Since there’s a lot on your mind

Well I think it’s time

To let me know

What you want me to see

What you want me to do

Have you dropped the time

Have you lost control again

Was it worth the risk getting’ in this hole

Is this right, well you don’t know

At sixteen you were droppin’ this off in my thoughts

By now you’d think that they’d get lost

Well I am here and I am telling you that they’re found

I see your run around

I see around you

FACES

LYRICS: Griljava, Khawaja, Unger

Take the memories off the wall

These photos fade and fall

Trapped in frames of the past

In broken glass

Faces

Shadowed by their time

They’re downed in

Inside the outlines

These faces

Shadowed by their time

They’re drowned in

Inside the outlines

Colors changed by tones of gray

In yearn to stay

Hear the whispers in our thoughts

Silently lost

Faces

Shadowed by their time

They’re downed in

Inside the outlines

These faces

Shadowed by their time

They’re drowned in

Inside the outlines

HOME TONIGHT

LYRICS: Khawaja and Unger

I don’t want to say goodbye

But you are more inclined to fly

Home tonight

I don’t want to say goodbye

But you are more inclined to fly

Home tonight

I don’t wanna shut this door

You were the greatest time of my life

I don’t want to say goodbye

But you are more inclined to fly

Home tonight

Home tonight

I don’t want to say goodbye

I don’t want to (But you are more inclined to fly)

Home tonight (I don’t want to say goodbye)

Home tonight

I won’t forget that voice of yours

It made me feel like I was alive

When I was yours

And you were mine

I won’t forget that voice of yours

You made me feel like I was alive

When I was yours and you were mine

I don’t wanna shut this door

You were the greatest time in my life

I don’t want to say goodbye

But you are more inclined to fly

Home tonight

Home tonight

I don’t want to say goodbye

(I don’t want to)

But you are more inclined to fly

I don’t want to say goodbye

Home tonight

SEPARATE

LYRICS: Khawaja and Unger

Regret will tear your soul

Hold still and take control

You lost yourself and now you fold

Troubled by these hard times

Can’t disguise what’s felt inside

I conform even when I struggle to separate

To separate

I ain’t got no time to provide

For this masquerade

You lost out on an ego

That you left out to parade

Blinded you are by comfort

In time I am sure you’ll realize

In time I am sure you’ll realize

Regret will tear your soul

Hold still and take control

You lost yourself and now you fold

Troubled by these hard times

Can’t disguise what’s felt inside

I conform even when I struggle to separate

To separate

Look back the years have passed me by

The wind blows by your side

I will stand in an earshot

To watch your walls come crumble down

I want to hold you now

But you are traveling to your demise

Regret will tear your soul

Regret will tear your soul

Regret will tear your soul

Hold still and take control

You lost yourself and now you fold

Troubled by these hard times

Can’t disguise what’s felt inside

I conform even when I struggle to separate

To separate

DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES

LYRICS: Khawaja and Unger

Yeah, I got my will

It’s gonna keep movin’

’till my heart is still

Ohhh yeah, I broke this back

To pay my dues along the way

No, the past won’t define me

I changed the way I look at everyone speak

Yeah, I got my will

It’s gonna keep movin’

until my heart is still

Thrown from everything I know

I’ve made myself so much stronger than before

Jump into this devious maze

Know who you are

Don’t let ‘em pick you apart

Looking around

I see the most positive opportunities

Just don’t close your eyes

Looking around

Don’t close your eyes

Looking around

Yeah, I got my will

It’s gonna keep movin’

’till my heart is still

Ohhh yeah, I broke this back

To pay my dues along the way

No, the past won’t define me

I changed the way I look at everyone speak

Yeah, I got my will

It’s gonna keep movin’

until my heart is still

Electric voice in your head

Remind you there’s difference in perceptions

Open like a book

Your writing is shaping this universe

Looking around

I see the most positive opportunities

Just don’t close your eyes

Don’t close your eyes

EMPTY SILENCE

LYRICS: Griljalva, Khawaja, Unger

It’s hard to deny

These thoughts inside

A spark of shadow by light

Burnin’ through time

There’s nothing left

How these minutes define

Empty silence

With open space

Now it’s time to rearrange

This empty silence

Has gone away

Dimming down to find our fate

Lives intertwined

As we move together

Seperated by design

Follow the line

Denied by reason

Turn around

But don’t look behind

Empty silence

With open space

Now it’s time to rearrange

This empty silence

Has gone away

Dimming down to find our fate

This empty silence

Has gone away

Dimming down to find our fate

FIGHT OR FLIGHT

BY: Khawaja and Unger

It’s out now

I can see what you want for me

Through your lies you disguise what you need to see

Inside your heart

Inside yours

Inside your heart

Inside yours

Fight or flight

Fight or flight

(Inside your heart)

Fight or flight

Fight or flight

(Inside your Heart)

Calm down now

It’s so clear how to see the truth

You hold me down

How I take abuse

Inside your heart

Inside yours

Inside yours

Inside yours

Fight or flight

Fight or flight

Inside your heart

Fight or flight

Fight or flight

Inside yours

STIRRING UP THE ECHOES

LYRICS: Khawaja, Palsgaard, Unger

Hand in what kept you warm

Caught up inside the norm

Toss out what you thought was true

Filter the morning light

In search of something right

Can’t take what was done by you

Stuck in thoughts of disbelief

They’re pulling me in between

Time cannot save me now

I found it and it’s going down

Stirring up the echoes of my mind

Stuck in thoughts of disbelief

They’re pulling me in between

Time cannot save me now

I found it and it’s going down

Stirring up the echoes of my mind

WAIT UP FOR ME

LYRICS: Unger

There’s  nobody like you

So far away

I travel this road

Into your heart

So glad I found you

Deep in this crowd

And I hear your voice

I feel at home

Well I’ve got my jacket

And I got my keys

And I’ll just be driving

So wait for me

We’ll keep on talking

‘Till you get here

Such a long road

You’ll find your way

Into my heart

I’ll just be drivin’

As you talk to me

We’ll be together

So wait up for me

Wait up for me

Wait up for me

Wait up for me
