Still
03:31
|

Took you at your word again
Lies lingered on your breath
As you did your best to talk me round
Salvage what was left
Told me how you’re different now
About how you’d right your wrongs
The red flags waved and passed me by
Should’ve known it all along
Still, you tempt me still
Still, you tempt me still
I try to let it go
Keep my pride
You catch me when I’m low
I let you back inside
Still, you tempt me still
Still, you tempt me still

Out Of Time
03:11
|
|||
|
Head is spinning round
I can barely see the ground
The street’s a blur of flashing lights
Passing cars and sirens, across the black and white
The end is drawing near
Our future’s clear
We’re out of time
Out of time
What lies beyond the gates
Will try our luck and test our faith
But all the flights are full
Final boarding call
We’re out of time
Out of time
They’ll find us where we lay
To watch the starships outrun the vapor trails
We’re out of time
Out of time
Out of time

Into The Blue
04:40
|
|||
|
One day we’ll leave and we’ll never come back
Ditch the roads, cross the rivers and cover our tracks
Find places on maps few have seen
As far from the city anyone has been
Take on despair whatever the cost
Find a beautiful, beautiful place to get lost
And if we take our time, reclaiming all we find
You’ll see everything change
To be exactly as you imagined it to
Into the blue
Far from the sins of mankind
Beyond distractions, all we left behind
Let the stars in the sky light the way
Across landscapes the sun breaks
The first light of day
And if we take our time, reclaiming all we find
You’ll see everything change
To be exactly as you imagined it to
Into the blue
You’ll see everything change
To be exactly as you imagined it to
Into the blue

Words of the Saviour
05:09
|
|||
|
Words of the saviour, painted and bright
Call in a favour, slip away in the night
All that you’ve given, a life can’t define
Some remain hidden, revealed in good time
They praise your name
But words don’t mean that much
They praise your name
Banks of the river, water so calm
Mourners in white wade in up to their arms
As they reach for the heavens, gathered as one
Sings hymns and lay flowers under the sun
They praise your name
But words don’t mean that much
They praise your name

Waves

All we didn’t say, the words we couldn’t keep
When you went away I’d curse you in my sleep
Still eats you up inside, it’s a war you’ll never win
Nowhere left to hide, but struggle from within
Big waves could drag me under
Wash me out to sea
Fill my lungs with water
Deep enough to breathe
Breathe
Breathe
I heard you call my name, drifting on the tide
So we said goodbye again, catch you on the other side
Still you’re running from the same old ghosts, faded by the sun
Leave behind the ones you love the most, for safety on the run
Big waves could drag me under
Wash me out to sea
Fill my lungs with water
Deep enough to breathe
Breathe
Breathe

Folk Song #2
02:48
|
|||
|
When do the fables come to pass,
And why do the good times never last?
Catcher of falling knives beware,
No I’m not drowning just coming up for air
Expectations high
Into something I
Could never be
Be
Feels like my spirit’s drained away,
Gathering losses every day
Imagine fading that demand
Letting it slip right through your hands
Wasting the payments in advance
Just hoping to get that second chance
Expectations high
Into something I
Could never be
Be
Preview coming, what’s in store?
For the many that have been before
You’ll see
Could never be

When The Lights Go Down
03:58
|
|||
|
Deep down in your chest
Way down where the weariness rests
It burrows inside
To the spot where the pain still resides
I’m wide awake
With every ounce of strength that it takes just to be here
When it feels like nobody’s coming to save you
Cos it’s too late to call out the name that they gave you
When the lights go down
Reach out into space
Lay back as the memory escapes
You’ve nothing to say
So float on drive the demons away
The colder your heart
Come on, come on and take me apart just to be sure
When it feels like nobody’s coming to save you
Cos it’s too late to call out the name that they gave you
When it feels like nobody’s coming to save you
Cos it’s too late to call out the name that they gave you
When the lights go down

Second Time Around
03:19
|
|||
|
Stones that skip across the water ripple on the bay
Just as the tide that brought you here will carry you away
Beneath the surface and the breaks
Beyond the deep blue space
Where the fearless disappear without a trace
And the ghosts of those who passed
Join the friends that didn’t last
Reflected in the lines that cross your face
If there’s no second time around
Don’t let the currents drag you down
Memories chased the shadows as they vanished with the dawn
Storms that raged throughout the night until the rain was gone
Beneath the surface and the breaks
Beyond the deep blue space
Where the fearless disappear without a trace
And the ghosts of those who passed
Join the friends that didn’t last
Reflected in the lines that cross your face
If there’s no second time around
Don’t let the currents drag you down
All the thoughts that kept you up at night are finally laid to rest
Found a place to take you where the words just can’t express
If there’s no second time around
Don’t let the currents drag you down

Never Satisfied
03:36
|
|||
|
You always thought you were a cut above the rest
Seeing out God’s plan
Born into money you wore the privilege on your chest
Hid the blood upon your hands
Hid the blood upon your hands
How do you sleep at night?
Does the truth bother you?
When it’s not enough for you to win, everybody else must lose
To keep you satisfied
Along the way you learned to lie and cheat and steal
For someone like you it’s justified
Obfuscate the details, the rest you can conceal
And cover up with lies
Cover up with lies
How do you sleep at night?
Does the truth bother you?
When it’s not enough for you to win, everybody else must lose
To keep you satisfied
Keep you satisfied

I'll Watch Over You
02:11
|
|||
|
I’ll be there with you
When the day is through
We’ll dance among the stars so blue
And I’ll watch over you
I’ll hold your hand so tight
Stay with you all night
Until the morning light shines through
I’ll watch over you
When your eyes are tired
I’ll sing a lullaby
Under the light of a silver moon
And I’ll watch over you
I’ll watch over you
