I'm in shambles
Blown to bits by our troubles These brambles Our stumbling’s, our struggles Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra! And it's a forced march And I’m parched in denial And it's a struggle Of faith and of fire Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra! Walking we are caught by tiny hooks that hold our hope Our skin may be scratched but nothing holds us back Walking we are caught by tiny hooks that hold our hope Our skin may be scratched but nothing holds us back I will be brave, I will be brave My body may change But my spirit will stay, I will be brave Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra! I’m in shambles Blown to bits by our troubles These brambles Our stumblings, our struggles Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra! Thorns! Over thorns! Through this trouble, we are born! |

Air! In my bones where the marrow should be
But what I lack for guts and blood I make up for in dreams Love! And you're wondering how it works The heart in the natural world It's a wonder that science can hurt I am made to fly You are made for flight From the structure of our cells To the chambers we share inside So let's become like birds We will become like birds Hope! It's the one thing that science will prove What you don’t have hope for you lose Evolution is what you choose I am made to fly You are made for flight From the structure of our cells To the chambers we share inside So let's become like birds We’ll become like birds Air! In my bones where the marrow should be But what I lack for guts and blood I make up for in dreams I make up for in dreams I make up for in dreams |

Maybe someday we can live on the moon
Milk in our eyes and the coffee cups too If we behave, play our cards right Moon'll be our fortune tonight Frequency of traditional child Ignition becomes a spark of disguise Where we are from, where we begin Philosophy on paper napkin Dutiful daughter never wanted to fly She swims through the air like she swims through the sky Waves of phosphor, waves of grace Lights on the square and lights on her face Saturn returns and Mercury slaves Atoms transmit to gravity's play Dutiful daughter never wanted to fly She swims through the air like she swims through the sky Maybe someday we can live on the moon But ‘cause we can, doesn't mean we have to Rockets will come, astronauts go Nothing so precious as what we don’t know Dutiful daughter never wanted to fly She swims through the air like she swims through the sky We know too much! We know too much! We have to find it ourselves! We know too much! We know too much! We have to find it ourselves! We know too much! We know too much! We have to find it ourselves! We know too much! We know too much! We have to find it ourselves! |

One part sad and two parts brave
One part's silent and one part says To the stars! One part black and two parts blue One part wishes the best for you One part changed and two parts fine I'm telling you, I'm fine To the stars, to the stars Oh, we are lit within By all we've been And by all we care to be To the stars, from the wars Oh, we'll wake up a little this morning A little better than we were before We were before One part lustre, two parts shy Heaven's above, trouble behind One part glory, two parts glow Shine on, shine well, you're free to go To the stars, to the stars Oh, we are lit within By all we've been And by all we care to be To the stars, from the wars Oh, we'll wake up a little this morning A little better than we were before We were before One part brilliant, two parts fade Stars apart, shine the same |

Our love in little heaps
Our love now fast asleep Our love was taking leaps Don't land You're so pretty floating through the air How you pause by despair Bullet flies toward disrepair Don't land, don’t land Don't land, don’t land Alleluia! Alleluia! Bright trails against the sky So much destruction, how does it fly? I must avert my eyes Don't land, don’t land Don't land, don’t land Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Our love was built on heavy things Our love survives and sings Our love always it had wings Don't land, don’t land Don't land, don’t land Don't land |

This morning I saw a glimmer of hope
In the eyes that I met at the door Of separate futures and confident sutures To the wounds that we have endured Oh, you hate the words of war, but baby Face it! That's what it's been for us We were never good fighters or very good soldiers But through this we are more It's Victorian this embroidering ordering and Sorting of memory to museum quality In a box we are, we are and we're art For the victims and tourists to see And this victory we're part of is part and Parameter of all that has come before We were never good fighters or very good soldiers But through this we are more What's the harm in ruins, reminds us of who We were in the darker times In the pieces of colonies, we'll find that we follow A church of our own design By our best, we're remembered, baptised we surrender By air, by water, by shore We were never good fighters or very good soldiers But through this we are more We are more We are more We are more We are more |

Us Among men
In the plans of shifting lime We stood beside A foundation of space and time What would you say To a city built in Jackson Park? Electric castles and A promise kept of highest art In our white city We'll stroll together in Streets of wax Streets of plaster In our white city White with wonder and Heights of greatness and Nights asunder Down to the wire Time is running out on our project World, look to us Find a model of what's not thought yet In our white city We'll stroll together In streets of wax Streets of plaster In our white city White with wonder and Heights of greatness and Nights asunder How beautiful is beauty When it's only temporary A decade a century stands still In the white city of our will Raise and be raised Our hands face up and our faces forward Show us the beauty Show us where we aim our story In our white city We'll stroll together In streets of wax Streets of plaster In our white city White with wonder and Heights of greatness and Nights asunder In our white city Of domes and girders We can fall but The fall wont hurt us |

Kill the sun, kill the moon instead
Someone's gone to your little head Don't look so sad! Chevaux il fait Chevaux il fait Fatal place in your final hour Little peace for the hear and now Don't look so sad Chevaux il fait Chevaux il fait You say you're so unmade You're untitled too You make the stars behave When they're close to you Don't forget, when you're fast asleep There's a plan you need to keep Roll on! Roll on Chevaux il fait Chevaux il fait Chimere dore Chevaux il fait Chevaux il fait Chevaux il fait Chevaux il fait Chevaux il fait |

When our love is gone, we will be calm
We will be calm And when the feelings come, I will fight them off We will fight them off In the evening blooms, I still think of you I’m thinking only of you But when temptation starts, I will fight it off We will fight it off Fire, all our guns and arrows Fire, all our guns The bells and bombs, we'll fight them off The fireworks say it's over Now the fall begins, and our failing hearts May come apart But I will be on guard, I will fight it off We will fight it off Fire, all our guns and arrows Fire, all our guns The bells and bombs, we'll fight them off The fireworks say it's over Some day, in some other life We'll let this battle pass us by Some day, in some other time We will be the ones who are left alive In my weakened state, I could fall for you Like I fell for you But lord, when it grows late, I will fight it off I will fight it off Fire! All our guns and arrows Fire! All our guns Fire! All our guns and arrows Fire! All our guns The bells and bombs, we'll fight them off The fireworks say it's over The bells and bombs, we'll fight them off The fireworks say it's over It’s over |

Delicate December, let's remember
When we were tall And we can pretend it's just summer We're neither spring nor fall Would you want my number Were I someone You didn't know at all? Special for December Let's pretend we're All for one I know, it's not the same What's said is said and won't be said again I know, it's not the same What's said is said and won't be said again Delicate December Let's be tender Slow down time to a crawl Nothing's temperamental If we're gentle Hands up Let's call it a draw Elegant and simple Sentiment means Letting go and letting fall Special for December Let's pretend we're All for one, one for all |

You were never broken by ordinary things
You kept holding out for the big mistake I was fragile, too scared and delicate You kept trying, I'm the one that quit Worn out by the baggage that we bring You were right about everything There were times your age began to show You were never more dangerous to know You passed me running, you caught me standing still You'd do it all again all for the thrill I was raised you get out before you sink You were brave about everything Nostalgia sweet, hindsight so dear Objects now are smaller than they appeared The birds of summer, in winter disappear In spring return, new life, new years Here I am, humble on my knees Come back to life, come back to everything Come back to life, come back to everything Oh, you were right about everything Oh, you were right about everything Oh, you were right about everything |
