What on earth is going on in my heart
Has it turned as cold as stone Seems theres days I don't feel anything Less it cuts me right down to the bone What on earth is going on in my heart My oh my You know it just don't stop It's in my mind I wanna tear it up I've tried to fight it Tried to turn it off But it's not enough It takes a lot of love It takes a lot of love my friend To keep your heart from freezing To push on to the end My oh my What on earth is going on in my head You know I used to be so sure You know I used to be so definite Thought I knew what love was for I look around these days and I'm not so sure No, nah nah My oh my You know it just don't stop It's in my mind I wanna tear it up I've tried to fight it Tried to turn it off But it's not enough It takes a lot of love It takes a lot of love my friend To keep your heart from freezing To push on to the end My oh my You know I just can't win I burn it down It comes right back again What kind of world is this we're living in Where you never win It takes a lot of love It takes a lot of love these days To keep your heart from freezing To keep your spirit free Ah, my oh my My oh my You know it just don't stop It's in my mind I wanna tear it up I've tried to fight it Tried to turn it off But it's not enough It takes a lot of love It takes a lot of love my friend To keep your heart from freezing To push on to the end My oh my You know it just don't stop My oh my You know it just don't stop My oh my You know it just don't stop My oh my You know it just don't stop |

Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on The stolen glances, broken threads The visions looming in our heads The years spent running parallel To everything that might of been No longer possible to hide The feeling welling up inside Ain't never been this close before Ain't never felt so far away When a moment A moment changes everything When a moment A moment changes everything When a moment, it changes everything The summer sky is blushing pink The heart is running out of sync (?) Could this just be the day, I think When anything is possible Well, hey now you've been here before To see your face and slam the door And waiting for the floor to drop Feel like time is standing still When a moment A moment changes everything [x3] When a moment, it changes everything Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on [x2] A moment, a moment changes everything [x4] Then a moment A moment changes everything A moment |

Oh my word ain't never seen
Day so golden, Earth so green Put my face into the stream That I might see What might have been Oh my heart how time has flown Feet that pass along the stone I hardly recognized my home All the paths had overgrown The music and the laughter gone 'Pon my soul ain't never felt So free of all the chains I built All the pain and all the guilt Vanished now beneath the silt I'm striding 'cross Orion's belt Oh my word I... Oh my word I... Oh my word I... |

Maybe that it would do me good
If I believed there were a god Cut in the starry firmament But as it is that's just a lie And I'm here eating up the boredom On an island of cement Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it Open window and I'll steal it Baby like it's heaven sent This ain't no love that's guiding me Some days I'm bursting at the seams With all my half remembered dreams And then it shoots me down again I feel the dampness as it creeps I hear you coughing in your sleep Beneath a broken window pane Tomorrow girl I'll buy you chips A lollipop to stain your lips And it'll all be right as rain This ain't no love that's guiding me This ain't no love that's guiding me No it ain't no love guiding me No it ain't no love guiding me No it ain't no love guiding me This ain't no love that's guiding me This ain't no love that's guiding me On winter trees the fruit of rain Is hanging trembling in the branches Like a thousand diamond buds And waiting there in every pause That old familiar fear that claws you Tells you nothing ain't no good Then pulling back you see it all Down here so laughable and small Hardly a quiver in the dirt This ain't no love that's guiding me |

Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red Turning over TV stations Situations running through my head Well looking back through time You know it's clear that I've been blind I've been a fool To ever open up my heart To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule Saturday I'm running wild And all the lights are changing red to green Moving through the crowd I'm pushing Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream Only wish that you were here You know I'm seeing it so clear I've been afraid To tell you how I really feel Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made If you want it Come and get it Crying out loud The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Babylon, Babylon Sunday all the lights of London Shining , Sky is fading red to blue I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves And wondering where it is you might be going to Turning back for home You know I'm feeling so alone I can't believe Climbing on the stair I turn around to see you smiling there In front of me If you want it Come and get it Crying out loud The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Babylon, Babylon, Babylon written by David Gray in 1998 |

Wake, wake and the moments gone
Wake, wake and the moments gone Wake, wake and the moments gone Wake, wake and the moments gone Then the door bell rings Some ask u could Spare a little time To feel the weight that's mine The lower down you go Get out your heart get sniped Caught in the wheels in dust tracks Angle on the edge Breathe Feel your in too deep So ill corrupt some ton Drop it in the tin An slither back within Your crenelated wealth Your educated self Your family in rue-health And all the joy it bring Aren't we forgetting something? Feed it on the ledge, Feed it on the ledge Breathe, Breathe, Breathe, Breathe And in the heat of bloom You find you're like some dog Parked up in a field Medically sealed Scratching at the wind shield And howling at the glass And anyone might walk past Were you not aware? Were you not aware? Were you not aware? Breathe The sea of broken lives Mechanics, doctor, house wives Feed it on the ledge Feed it on the ledge Feed it on the ledge And Breathe Breathe |

Well we had to pull on something
so we're grabbing at the threads and now the world's unravelin' inside our very heads Glasses smeared with lipstick hungry eyes out in the street Same old bodies moving to the same old beat Had to draw the line Had to draw the line All this talk of hypnotising we can ill afford to give ourselves to sentiment when our time is oh so short Names beneath the lichen on these, cemetery stones There are carnivals of silver fish waiting to dance upon our bones Had to draw the line help me draw the line help me draw the line help me draw the line I've been doubting yours baby I've been doubting mine I've been out of circulation where the sun don't shine I've been doubting fame and wealth, charity, even love itself draw the line I aint saying he's bad baby, I aint saying he's good Merely that he ain't so different 'neath the executioner's hood In the name of liberty, in the name of brotherhood had to draw the line had to draw the line Need to take some pride baby need to take some heart need to take evasive action when the rumpass start Here we are buck naked yeah but where should we begin? when it's not the flesh we're after but the howlin' ghost within help me draw the line help me draw the line help me draw the line need to draw the line help me draw the line need to draw the line had to draw the line pack your bags we're going home pack you're bags we're going home |

Just to find that it was never real This sure ain't no great Valhalla Coming closer each turn of the wheel Forlorn adrift on seas of beige In this our Golden Age Bullied suckered pimped and patronized Every day your tawdry little lives So loose your head And step within The silence deafening Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming We all saw it coming But we still bought it Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming but still Running full steam ahead In and out of consciousness It breaks my heart to see you like this Crying wringing hands and cursing fate Always so little far too late It's 3am I'm wide awake There's still one call to make Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming We all saw it coming But we still bought it Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming We all saw it coming But we still bought it Running full steam ahead Running full steam ahead Running full steam Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming and I Running full steam Now you And I We all saw it coming But we still bought it We all saw it coming But we Still bought it |

Can’t recall the moment when the doubt
Ripped your face Or put my finger on quite when the fog Took your place Now we’ve been beating on it 'til we’re black and blue Just what good exactly is it gonna do Always so much harder So much harder when you have to try Could we at least agree upon the size And the shape The relative dimensions that the lie Ought to take For your delectation a scenario Taken so much further than it needs to go Always so much harder Always so much If we could get away just for a week or two Baby let it burn the way it used to do Always so much harder So much harder when you have to try Have to try And if the ground should open up And swallow me It would not stop That minute hand from ticking off The minutes 'til the penny drop Not a breath of wind And not a cloud in the sky All the better then to watch the world passing by Passing by Passing by Passing by |

If I believed there were a god Cut in the starry firmament But as it is that's just a lie And I'm here eating up the boredom On an island of cement Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it Open window and I'll steal it Baby like it's heaven sent This ain't no love that's guiding me Some days I'm bursting at the seams With all my half remembered dreams And then it shoots me down again I feel the dampness as it creeps I hear you coughing in your sleep Beneath a broken window pane Tomorrow girl I'll buy you chips A lollipop to stain your lips And it'll all be right as rain This ain't no love that's guiding me This ain't no love that's guiding me No it ain't no love guiding me No it ain't no love guiding me No it ain't no love guiding me This ain't no love that's guiding me This ain't no love that's guiding me On winter trees the fruit of rain Is hanging trembling in the branches Like a thousand diamond buds And waiting there in every pause That old familiar fear that claws you Tells you nothing ain't no good Then pulling back you see it all Down here so laughable and small Hardly a quiver in the dirt This ain't no love that's guiding me |

Come the weekend
And we’ll long gone baby Just like the old days Letting the world flow through me Just a parasite in a line I'm smoking, killing the time How long’s a piece of twine What use is sympathy From here you can almost see the sea If you would hold still Could make a clean incision Then we could sit back And watch the demolition Little puppy dog in a box Somebody’s picking the locks Must want the darn from the socks Here comes the cavalry From here you can almost see the sea Just another fool in the line I dream of high clouds Flushed with the light of daybreak I'm gonna dive in To water so cold it makes your bones ache Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped All of the rubbish heaped A piece of cardboard taped Up where the bedroom window pane used to be From here you can almost From here you can almost see the sea Just another fool in the line Just another fool in the line I saw a film once Where all the airholes froze up A killer whale swam Under the blue ice Until her heart stopped |

I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true That our love it has faded Like the summer run through So well walk down the shoreline One last time together Feel the wind blow our wanderin hearts Like a feather But who knows whats waiting In the wings of time Dry your eyes We gotta go where we can shine Dont be hiding in sorrow Or clinging to the past With your beauty so precious And the season so fast No matter how cold the horizon appear Or how far the first night When I held you near You gotta rise from these ashes Like a bird of flame Step out of the shadow Weve gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle For all we pretend It dont come down to nothing Except love in the end And ours is a road That is strewn with goodbyes But as it unfolds As it all unwinds Remember your soul is the one thing You cant compromise Take my hand Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine (and look, and look) Through the windows of midnight Moonfoam and silver |

Gonna close my eyes
Gonna watch you go Running through this life, darling Like a field of snow As the tracer glides And its graceful arc Send a little prayer up to you Cross the falling dark Tell the repo man And the stars above That you're the one I love Perfect summer's night Not a wind or breeze Just the bullets whispering gentle Amongst the new green leaves These things I might have said Only wish I could Now I'm leaking life faster than I'm leaking blood Tell the repo man And the stars above That you're the one I love Don't see elysium Don't see no fiery hell Just the lights all bright, baby, in the big hotel Next wave coming in Like an ocean rock Won't you take my hand, darling, on that old dance floor We can twist and shout Do the turtle dove |

I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah, but no one just a stranger I did find I never noticed, hadn't seen it as it grew The void between us where the flame turns blueDifferent places, yeah, but they all look the same Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw And blind ambition where the flame turns blueWords dismantled, hey, and all the books unbound Conversations though we utter not a sound I heard a rumour, I don't know if it's true That you'd meet me where the flame turns blueSo I venture underneath the leaden sky See the freight train with it's one fierce eye And then I listen as it tears the night in two With a whistle and the flame turns blueIn the morning I will sing In the morning I will singThrough the lemon trees, the diamonds of light Break in splinters on the pages where I write That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do Burn forever where the flame turns blue That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do Burn forever where the flame turns blueIn the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing |

Was there in your cage
When your lion got tamed Was up on your stage When your childhood flamed The sorrow and rage But it ain't no game To me now All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London shining now Standing in line With these abstract gifts Counting the time As the dragnet shifts A quarter to nine and the gray cloud lifts Away now All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London falling down Hearing you say With your perspect's tongue Walking the way Where the dreams get flung Was never your thing When it all goes wrong To worry Whoa-oa All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London shining now Interlude Telling a lie Cause the truth just stinks Out in the mud Where the lightning sinks Wishing you could As the strip light blinks Away now Whoa-oa All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London falling down All of London falling down All of London falling down All of London |

Heaven knows it's high time I've been waiting on my own too long When ya hold me like you do It feels so right I start to forget How my heart gets torn When that hurt gets flowin Feeling like ya can't go on Turning circles and time again It cut like a knife oh now If ya love me, got to know for sure Cause it takes something more this time Than sweet, sweet lies oh now Before I open up my arms and fall Losing all control Every dream inside my soul When ya kiss me On that midnight street Sweep me off my feet Singing ain't this life so sweet This year's love had better last This year's love had better last Cause who's to worry If our hearts get torn When that hurt gets flowin' Don't ya know this life goes on Won't ya kiss me On that midnight street Sweep me off my feet Singing ain't this life so sweet This year's love had better last This year's love had better last This year's love had better last This year's love had better last |

If the silence doesn't kill you then an illusion will
You're starin' at the sky But the moon isn't gonna pay our bills And we're laughin' 'bout it loud But oh you know it ain't no joke See them cake the roads with glitter Trade your dreams for smoke There's teardrops in the treetops The wind is whistling through the mountain's teeth A song for every wounded dove And we're out further than the razor's edge Going down down to the roots of love And its rainin' in my kitchen A storm in my front room The instructions don't say nothing Just desire consume And the stars are falling right into my eye Might be built out of stand But maybe baby it's paradise There's teardrops in the treetops The wind is whistling through the mountain's teeth A song for every wounded dove And we're out further than the razor's edge Going down down to the roots Going down down to the roots Going down down to the roots of love na na na na... |

I’m weighted down with love Snow lying deep and even Strung out and dreaming of Night falling on the city Quite something to behold Don’t it just look so pretty This disappearing world We’re threading hope like fire Down through the desperate blood Down through the trailing wire Into the leafless wood Night falling on the city Quite something to behold Don’t it just look so pretty This disappearing world This disappearing world I’ll be sticking right there with it I’ll be by your side Sailing like a silver bullet Hit ‘em ‘tween the eyes Through the smoke and rising water Cross the great divide Baby till it all feels right Night falling on the city Sparkling red and gold Don’t it just look so pretty This disappearing world This disappearing world This disappearing world This disappearing world |

Hospital food getting you down? Honey now I’m not one to complain But this hangin’ around Is wearing me out So patch me up boys take me home Are you not hearing a word I say? She sounds so different on the phone I just sink like a stone Back to the bay Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something Tell me something I don’t know Don’t seem to have that much to show For all the hard work, the sweat and toil You say ‘well that’s right’, and you should know You’ve been there before You’ve basked in the glow You’ve stood in the roar You’ve tasted the snow Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already Seeing it all so beautiful The way it oughta be Seeing it all so beautiful And turning away Turning away Turning away Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already know |

One lifetime is long enough
Is long enough to wait The rain like silver in my ears Fat nothing on my plate A bucketful of Babylon A belly full of hate Go to sleep my one true love And may your dreams be sweet Then we’ll be running See its face beneath the glass It murmurs on the breeze Like a long black Cadillac It passes ‘neath the trees What is it you’re waiting for? Sweet love is on its knees Go to sleep my one true love And find your heart’s release Then we’ll be running Afraid of nothing Yeah we’ll be running Silence is golden Here I am I ain’t afraid of nothing Silence is golden Here I am The sun above the cotton grass Is sinking down like lead The seagulls know the truth of it And scream it overhead Hold on to St. Christopher The sky is murderous red Go to sleep my one true love Our glory lies ahead Then we’ll be running Afraid of nothing Then we’ll be running All wired up in a dawning ray All wired up in a dawning ray All wired up in a dawning ray All wired up in a dawning ray |

Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange For I know not what I do. Feels like lightning running through my veins Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Help me out here All my words are falling short And there's so much I want to say Want to tell you just how good it feels When you look at me that way When you look at me that way Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow Moving out across the bay Like a stone I fall into your eyes Deep into some mystery Deep into that mystery I got half a mind to scream out loud I got half a mind to die So I won't ever have to lose you girl Won't ever have to say goodbye I won't ever have to lie Won't ever have to say goodbye Yeah na na na na Yeah na na na na Please forgive me If I act alittle strange For I know not what I do It's like my head is filled with lightning girl Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you |

The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away The dawn in all its honesty Is turning me to clay And through the bars of iron rain Way beyond and back again I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up I'm walking on high It's real love Real love This world in all its clarity Is glorious, is fake This world in all its vanity Is more than I can take And down the road the iron wheels Chain my heart to how it feels I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up I'm walking on high It's real love Real love Real love Real love And something in the heart of me Is telling me it's time To meet the eye of destiny And leave it all behind And through my bones an iron rage paints my soul upon the page I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up to walk on high Makes me wanna lay and die It's real love Real love Real love Real love The dawn in all its majesty Is stealing me away |

Was there in your cage
When your lion got tamed Was up on your stage When your childhood flamed The sorrow and rage But it ain't no game To me now All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London shining now Standing in line With these abstract gifts Counting the time As the dragnet shifts A quarter to nine and the gray cloud lifts Away now All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London falling down Hearing you say With your perspect's tongue Walking the way Where the dreams get flung Was never your thing When it all goes wrong To worry Whoa-oa All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London shining now Interlude Telling a lie Cause the truth just stinks Out in the mud Where the lightning sinks Wishing you could As the strip light blinks Away now Whoa-oa All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London falling down All of London falling down All of London falling down All of London |

Cast your eyes into the distance
Try to focus on it all Find a spirit of resistance Instead of pride before the fall Forge some opposition From disparate strands It ain't the prettiest position As a century ends Unstable situation Faces made of wax Streams of melting glass Sheets of butchered facts The roar of the machine Hooded hearts and jewelled hands And anger spilling out like gasoline As a century ends Everything I seen, everything that I heard It ain't even the top of the iceberg Fire down memory lane So pass me my rose tinted glasses again Through a fog of contradiction Out to the lake of tears See society admiring it's own reflection Chase a light that shines and disappears Careful what you say, 'cause reality offends Just sit back and let your soul decay As a century ends And it's easy to get weary As you fight to get it done Against a popular theory That it's over before it's even begun Strain the limit of compassion Tend a wound that never mends And honesty still out of fashion As a century ends |

Wishing that something would happen
a change in this place 'cause I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping find an empty package Take for a while your trumpet from your lip loosen your hold, loosen your grip on your old ways that have fallen out of step in a changing time hoist a new flag hoist a new flag Angry sun burn down judging us all guilty of neglect and disrespect and thinking small And death by boredom and death by greed if we can't stop taking more than we need Across the fractured the landscape I see the same things tired ideas birds without wings Birds without wings birds without wings But these are just thoughts on lackluster times and I've no interest in excuses you can find Like you've had a hard day now you're too tired to care now you're too tired to care you've had a hard day Well across the fractured landscape I see the same things tired ideas, broken values many with the notion that to share is to lose a hollow people bound by a lack of imagination and too much looking back without the courage to give a new thing a chance grounded by this ignorance When the cat comes we're just birds without wings Birds without wings birds without wings |

Drunken ferry boat woman
swayin' on your sea if I turn on the gasfire by the rain rattled window won't you sail over to me And the hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you move in the porch with me on an overcast day the pale winter city an afternoon's debauchery Your blouse your skirt I'll undo them so gently with beautiful care I'm a lonely man with five bottles of wine I'd like you to share The hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you move through the doors with me on an overcast day the pale winter city an afternoon's debauchery Orange street light afternoon becomes night you drink your wine from a mug there's cats at the backdoor the snow is two inches you roll down your tights on the rug The hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you lie on the floor with me come closer my love I'm badly in need of an afternoon's debauchery |

I got no reason
but that I must maybe I feel like I've been gathering dust I must leave this harbour for the sea I'm too young to settle down and make a home but I don't know where I'm wanting to be I just know I have to be there alone Stole my time, all my time stole my time, for you Pale winter sun is beating the ground why am I throwing away the best thing that I've found My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure that it will be a long time healing It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for when loneliness is all that I'm feeling Stole my time, all my time spent my time, for you Now the wind it is blowing blowing leaves from the trees I've got no use knowing that with time it will ease I don't know where I'm going hope I get there soon 'Cos my soul is hollow as the sorrowful moon Now the wind it is blowing blowing leaves from the trees I've got no use knowing that with time it will ease I don't know where I'm going hope I get there soon 'Cos my soul is hollow as the sorrowful moon as the sorrowful moon as the sorrowful moon Oh the night is raining on my weary head taking my back See the sun spread wings of gold as the dawn unfurls hear the song that the moon sings to the darkened world Feel the fire lighting in the bitter cold It's the light that shines through the windows of your soul Windows of your soul na na na na Windows of your soul na na na na |

In the bitter violet night
The stars wear sour grins In the vastness of the black sky I'm cradled in your arms Unbridled by alarm 'Cause I know the end is nigh It's all over bar the shoutin' One thing's for sure It's all over now It's all over now Confusion wanders in Strides the evening like a king Chaos and turmoil prevail Bedlam reigns, hope is drowned As, but strangely we settle down Resigned to the sinking ship on which we sail It's all over bar the shoutin' One thing's for sure It's all over now It's all over now Our love's just smithereens Too much beer in my head Another night is getting late And I don't know where to go There's just this long white road And I can't think straight No I can't think straight It's all over bar the shoutin' One thing's for sure It's all over now It's all over now |

I care little for my body she said
I couldn't care less about my soul and as she lead me upstairs in whispers my whole summer turned cold I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs If you've got no worries then I've got no cares I lead you upstairs I told her people had been talking about how dark she was inside She said my hope are buried in the soil deep in the earth outside and with one twist of the world she brought me to her side She asked me for the truth one time and all I did was lie I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs If you've got no worries then I've got no cares I lead you upstairs I lead me upstairs in whispers my whole summer turned cold my whole summer turned cold I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs If you've got no worries then I've got no cares I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs |

The hour is out of joint
Black sun has risen And the river of words Is flowing on through The cages of tradition They're handing out emptiness We'll take it, 'cause it's given Free with this plastic innocence And these standards of living Questions, lighted questions Burnin' holes into my head Hanging like shadows o'er the sun Staring out like the eyes of the dead And sometimes my soul flickers As the wind of change blows cold Over the mire of repetition Down the corridors of rigamarole What I say, what I think What I put down in ink I'm only tryin' to find a way to understand And I mean no harm I'm just searching for calm In the storm of mankind Do you find it there In the sea of faces That drowns you every day Or in the silence and rubble and empty spaces Where children and rottweilers play Is it buried in the praise Given so cheap With a meaningless movement of the jaws In the looking glass That flatters you Or in the rattle of hollow applause Blind circle, moon and sun Body willing, mind undone One pain ending while another begins Lies, ruin, disease Into wounds like these Let the truth sting From the hub to the limit Through the urban hollows Out into the poles of the extreme To echo through the numbness Of these godless minutes In the shadow of delusion's regime But here watching the night As it opens like a flower And the day starts to rust Feeling time pound Like a silent hammer On this empire of dust And I'm thinking 'bout the bullet And the TV screen, the dollar, and the clenched fist And if we're searching for peace How come we still believe In hatred as the catalyst Through the borderline In front and behind Down the road of thorns Between the the barbwire and the soul Bitters and chains Is all that remains Where the wheel has rolled I feel it from the pit of my stomach Into the ditch of my mind Inside the chambers of my heart As I stare half blind At these walls of cardboard At this space that I've rented At your beauty that is crumbling Though you try so hard to prevent it On and on Body willing, mind undone One pain ending while another begins Lies, ruin, disease Into wounds like these Let the truth sting Let the truth sting Let the truth sting |

My good friends speak
Like they did last year Last night's a blur Through a head full of beer My good friends speak Like they did last year And last year's just a blur Through a head of full beer Where's your wisdom Put that broken bottle down Let the wind in your sails Take you out of this town So sad I think I'm dying And if life's just a living room Then I'm in the hall and I'm glad If life's just a living room I'm in the hall and I'm glad Oh I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad Now the dawn it has broke Still the night don't clear Memories falling in the morning rain I'm up too close to see it clear And last year's just a blur Through a head full of beer I think I'm dying And if life's just a living room Then I'm in the hall and I'm glad If life's just a living room I'm in the hall and I'm glad Oh I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad |

I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true That our love it has faded Like the summer run through So well walk down the shoreline One last time together Feel the wind blow our wanderin hearts Like a feather But who knows whats waiting In the wings of time Dry your eyes We gotta go where we can shine Dont be hiding in sorrow Or clinging to the past With your beauty so precious And the season so fast No matter how cold the horizon appear Or how far the first night When I held you near You gotta rise from these ashes Like a bird of flame Step out of the shadow Weve gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle For all we pretend It dont come down to nothing Except love in the end And ours is a road That is strewn with goodbyes But as it unfolds As it all unwinds Remember your soul is the one thing You cant compromise Take my hand Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine (and look, and look) Through the windows of midnight Moonfoam and silver |

Time no good
Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore Now night has fallen on the stair Some things you do you can never repair Seems I'm always pretending Things aren't there when they are And the leaves are nearly off the trees The traffic thick past yellow windows And I'm lost inside the frozen headlights Thinking of you Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore And the trees are looking like bones And the afternoon's filled with storm and rain I'm staring out of this metal train Thinking of you And the trees are looking like bones The afternoon filled with rain and storm And I'm tangled up in memory's thorns No way through Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore Trees like bones, yellow windows Memories, thorns, oh and you Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore |

Tears falling slow.
From the bridge into the river below. In your eyes I start to see. A starry veil and the oceans of infinity. Moon and stars above me. Mingle with the blood inside my veins. Empty arms that should be Holding me close through nights of winter rain. And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain. It's colder than ever coming down Now I'm drowning in shallows Cause I'm in so deep There's neon melting in the rain I took too much powder to sleep When I hold you naked When I hear your laugh I got a sword to stem the rivers And cut the moon in half. Frozen stars above me Mingle with the blood inside my veins Empty arms that should be Holding you close through nights of winter rain And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain It's colder than ever coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down We danced wild Kicked off our shoes Not a cloud in the the sky to confuse. Now the sky is cold and the sea is white And there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun And scratching the mountain side Frozen stars above me Mingle with the blood inside my veins Empty arms that should be Holding you close through nights of winter rain And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain It's colder than ever coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down |

All of my senses overthrown
by the might of your skin and the lamplight on your cheek bone drawing me further in no sentence I can speak for the wonder so unique breaking like a wave upon the shore mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door See how the sky is made of sapphire the colours flowing through our hands the moon is fire in your hair a million miles beyond what science understands smell that mountain heaven I don't remember ever feeling like this before mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door And if every window pane should shatter if every wall should fall apart well it might hurt a bit but would it matter this diamond in my heart there's no need to nail it to the ground there's no need to smother it with sense just listen to the rhythm of your heart that pounds and trust it all to chance 'cause we're standing face to face with the Angel of grace and don't it just taste so pure mercy me, I'm falling free mercy me, I'm falling free mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door |
