I’ll find a song
That will sing my life
In shades greater than black or white
I’m more than a star
In the sky at night
There’s more to me than blinking lights
Cause it’s all falling down
But you think it’s fine
Don’t look now
You’ve closed your eyes
I don’t know how
But to my surprise
Oh love, the days
They pass us by
We call their name
They never reply
Always the same
Each sunset death
Sunrise, new life
I’ll find the words
That will speak my heart
Anything less and it won’t be worth
The time it takes
Just to make a sound
I might as well have not been heard

just hold it inside
03:41
|
|||
|
counting mistakes
as blades of grass
how high were the stakes anyway?
we forgot to ask
the game is hearts
we only dealt one hand
played ours and lost
forced to fold again
just hold it inside
keep your lips locked tight
though you're breaking inside
you've got to make this right
darlin' now's not the time
to say what's on your mind
though it burns like a fire
you've got to make this right
searching for answers
tearing them off the wall
counting the questions
will we find them all?
seeing the stitches
where we fell apart
unsubmission
--how you broke my heart

the leaves
have changed
though you don’t seem to mind
and there’s nothing i can do
no, nothing i can do
the wind has turned
and a storm is blowing in
and there’s nothing i can do
no, nothing i can do
(oh)
devil took you away devil took you
(ooh)

someone else
03:41

trust just doesn’t bend
she only breaks and then
you’ve got deal with her remains
so give it away now
fear just doesn’t kill
he maims until you feel
helpless and insane
he’s coming to stay now
in his arms you swear you’re there to stay but in his eyes he gave his heart away
to someone else,
someone else
keep him close and baby don’t look back
go ahead, hold off your heart attack
bout that someone else,
someone else (oh)
beg him for his love
give till he’s had enough
suffocate him till
he’s backing away now
hold tight to the thought
that if you don’t give up
things will be okay
you’re placing the blame, now
in his arms you swear you’re there to stay
but in his eyes he gave his heart away
to someone else,
someone else
keep him close and baby don’t look back
go ahead, hold off your heart attack
bout that someone else,
someone else (oh)
suffering,
she watches where she stands
he’s holding her heart within his hands
all for all she has (oh)
hold on tight and baby don’t you stay
cause in his eyes he gave his heart away
to someone else,
someone else
hold on tight and baby don’t look back
go ahead hold off your heart attack
bout that someone else,
someone else (oh)

don't go (stow away)
03:39

teardrops fall into my hand
but the thoughts inside my head
are the happiest that i have ever had
looks like my eyes have shown
what all the rescued people know
that what looks like sadness outside
is the joy within
don’t go, don’t go away
hold on, don’t go, please stay
don’t go, don’t turn away
don’t go, don’t go away
can’t you see how much all that you did for me
left me so completely free
free to walk away from
me and start over, start over!
so take your fingertips
and trace in me a new beginning
and i know if i slip
i know, i know you’ll catch me
autumn leaves are falling
so soon and suddenly
outside the world falls to ruins
downtown the city goes to waste
so
lets escape
away

here's to the weekend
03:06
|
|||
|
you and i
aren’t just anybody
we are volatile
bottled up
counting down
ticking till it’s time
so here’s to the weekend (oh)
don’t stop to breathe it in (oh)
live it how you like it (oh)
cause next you know, it’s gone again (oh)
another day
another dollar that i’ve made
at night i sleep
and then i wake
to do it all again

dayside
02:56
|
|||
|
my heart aches
to pull you to dayside
to shatter the seam
between the real and the dream
just to know you only behind closed eyes
my love follows through
so then why don’t you?
and i wake,
my eyes glazed in the haze of a world tainted and sharpened, breathed life by a girl
dipped in the shades of her gypsy braids
and i am
stranded
abandoned on dayside
can it hardly be considered life
when you’re not living
for the waking hours
of the day?
lost in waking sleep,
till in sleep i wait
for you to come
come and take me away
wasting down to dust
waiting, will these hands ever know,
will they ever feel your touch?
slowly the days grow longer without you
suffering each hour i scream,
will i ever make it through?
wishing just to know that you’re real
hoping to know

the odyssey
06:31
|
|||
|
it’s been
ten years since i’ve left and you’ve been
lying awake at night
lying awake at night
you can’t sleep
till staring at the morning light
praying that i’d survive
praying that i’d survive
it’s been
ten years since you’ve heard of me
my gravestone’s in the ground
my gravestone’s in the ground
they always say you’ll
save yourself for judgement day
your husband to be found
your husband to be found
if love is blind then hope will see me through
cause i’m coming home
you’ll know me in stranger’s clothes
in stranger’s clothes
it’s been ten years since i’ve left you for
a war i couldn’t win
a war no one could win
through the sirens
i’ve fought across the ancient world
lived tales no one should tell
tales no one should tell
it’s been
ten years since i’ve been at home
there’re suitors at the door
suitors at the door
but in triumph
i watch you as you run to see
me shipwreck on the shore
shipwrecked on the shore
if love is blind
then hope will see me through
cause i’m coming home
you’ll know me in stranger’s clothes
in stranger’s clothes
i will fight
i will fight
for your hand in love again
(oh)

the thing is
03:44
|
|||
|
it came as no surprise
that she plainly broke my heart
to try and hold a firefly
is to surely end up burnt
and the thing about it all, well
is that we’d never even kissed
maybe if we had
than i might be over this (oh)
the thing is
there’s only one world
how will i ever get better
when i’m chased down by you
through the sunlight
through ordinary days
whether it’s wrong or right,
day or night
--they remind me of you
and like a gushing fool
i held on to my love
i was thinking that that could be
enough for the both of us
and what a stupid thing to do
because she never even knew
all the things i tried or what i went through
for the two of us, the hope us
that one day she’d thank her lucky stars that i held on to (that i held on to us, to us woah)

better off without you
03:51
|
|||
|
’ve known you for the longest time
i know i need you
i’ve wondered how much are lies
and how much truth
but you tell me you love me
(you tell me you love me)
but you turn away
(please don’t turn away)
when i open my broken, bleeding heart
of which i’m ashamed
where is love
if not in your arms
where can i turn if you turn me away?
where is peace
if not in your hands
how can i hope to be okay?
i must be better off without you
where is love?
where is peace?
where is joy?
where is love
if not in your arms
where can i turn if you turn me away?
where is peace
if not in your hands
how can i hope to be okay?
where is love?
i must be better off without you
(i must be better off)
