There you are, The one that listens First of all, We must create a circle of light See what you're missing? Lift the dark, clean up the mess and Where to start? The simplest way to stand Is taking my hand Hey, How you feeling? Oh, Just keep breathing Fine You keep spinning I'll just hang around Twist your eyes, What are they seeking? Those painful sighs, are they trying to console us or are they leaving? The wish to drown is only fleeting Kiss the ground, Your heart's still beating bold as love Though quite elusive

Come on let's waste some time Can't always be in control Can't plant the seeds inside If you've got nowhere to grow What is this debt of life Pay back whatever we owe Nobody's questioning why Just leave your keys by the door There you were my glowing friend You were chasing me but I was chaste to him We're always losing minds and keeping calm Yeah, sure take it from me, I'll be taking you home I think you must be blind thinking I didn't know There's a time to grieve and a time to glow There you were my glowing friend You kept chasing me time and time again If you wake up to the sounds of birds in sun You know you're losing me to someone you don't even know We're not over this Let's not ruin it We'll come back again One more time

Given every reason why you shouldn't have Bleeding like a servant with a master plan I'm not the perfect angel that you think I am You're losing all your feeling as I cut you in half The spell's already been cast The writing is on the wall Chasing every heart like it's my other half Hiding all the pieces of a broken past Misery's been begging me to take its hand History repeating like a needles been scratched I've got a question to ask Is this because of the wall? All we need is someone there you call their name And they'll be running faster Pat your cheek Fix your hair Break the ice and find that someone special you've been hiding from All alone Every night You say a name and hope it turns out better There it is another twist Another chance To make this Falling feather find its final home

Feed the fire, drink the rain Hide the light, blow out the flame Deeper night, Softer still Close your eyes to fight the chill Light another fire, Toss another stone. Waste a little time Before you leave alone Destroy it with your art Created with a fist Cast into the dark A figment with a twist A vision you forgot, Tell me what I missed Nostalgia bringing back A fabricated kiss Fall from high, Dyeing one Hail the light, bless the sun We are lost without your light This thin disguise we deny Lift your head to the sky racing stars go drifting by

Waves 05:31
Is this the way I have to feel? Alone in the dead of night Hoping something could be real Knowing nothing's ever right Drifting in a sea of fear Dreaming of a different life Do you know what's happened here? Will there be chances I get twice? So it goes, no one knows Beat back the tears, Feed your desire Taste the fear spark the fire Sail out You say the things you want to hear With every breath you're casting doubt In every face a broken mirror You're looking in I'm lashing out So it goes, no one knows Beat back the tears, Feed your desire You taste the fear You spark the fire Slake the knife

Let's Start 03:16
Please, Won't you come inside? These ears are just my size Eyes deep enough to dive Teeth are sharp like knives We've wasted so much time Freeze the few little moments left Skin that moves in time with mine Lips that taste like wine Wonder if this one's good enough Somehow new is always tough Love is just a word with strings So let's see what tomorrow brings

Season 5 05:06
Losing my faith Seeing them lie Can't fight the fates On channel 5 If you give them the ownership That's sifting through their finger tips Even if we co-exist Doesn't mean they're fine Caught in a haze No end in sight Left in a maze In season 5 Giving them the ownership It's done Sifting through their finger tips It's Gone Even t hen they don't exist They're lost Does it mean they're fine They're not

In My Head 03:35
The whistle's blown, the bullet's bit We shake the walls, Break promises The endless scroll, our consumer fix Can you please let me off How long Will I Be here In my mind It's all been said The camera roll, the corporate bid the ticking clock, your pockets picked A spinning top, a power shift A total eclipse While they're cancelling a season We've been dancing on the ceiling Can we have another reason why we Let this operation carry on and on and on I hear it in my head The reason it started But when will we notice We're not who we say we are The fear, it's there The calm will only wear me out
9.
When you lie The truth is known If you like I can show you... Where do we come from? Why don't we belong? What do we become? When all this is done Sing silent night That's their favourite song Hear this lullaby While drifting into the sun It's been nice This old haunt You can write what you want Just sing silent night And drift into the sun Hear this lullaby And keep the porch light on Silent Night Holy Night All is calm All is bright
