'Icarus'
Arms outstretched
You leap into the heavens
And you glide on the wind
Heading to oblivion
We are Gods without the wisdom
Held in our fists is our own existence
Through our lives
Alone we are together
But you've always been here
I've thought of you forever
To be loved is to be eternal
Every moment we live is to be eternal
Sunshine on the darkest of days
Sunshine in the dark
The wax within your wings
Rains like a scalding kiss
To be strong when you face your doomsday
And I watch as you fall like a silent ballet
Sunshine on the darkest of days
Sunshine in the dark
If I had held you more
I could have broke your fall

'The Sky Has Always Been Falling'
And your words are as empty as the bed where I lay
Your lips forming words I don't hear
And you flatter yourself that you mean what you say
But your eyes they lie
And the sky will fall, and the sky will fall
And the hole in your argument
Is the whole of your argument
And you ask just how lonely does it get?
But nobody's answered you yet
And the tears will fall, and the tears will fall
Tears that fall
Return to the deep
And love once born
Returns to its sleep, returns to its sleep, returns to sleep
And you're describing this moment
While you're living in this moment
And the threads that were tightly weaved
Are loosening with such speed
And the leaves will fall, and the leaves will fall
Leaves that fall
Return to their roots
And lives ignored
Return to the noose, return to the noose, return to the noose
The sky has
Always
Been falling
As we fall
Return to the earth
Rain clouds form
And cleanse this re-birth, they cleanse this re-birth, cleanse this re-birth
The sky has
Always
Been falling
The sky has
Always
Been falling

'Lighthouse'
There is a light inside you
It just refused to shine
Your heart is like a lighthouse
Burning brightly for the blind
Your light creates more darkness
I'm the shadows on the stone
As dark as my heart beating
Now my voice is what you don't remember
You don't remember
Waves they climb and fall
Surround you
Your light is a beating heart
Inside you
The light is a burning star
The lighthouse stands alone
They see your light and go
The lighthouse stands alone
I washed up years ago
I tell you the worst of me
But try to show the best
With every wave I'm drowning
With every broken sail I rest beside you
I rest beside you
Waves they climb and fall
Surround you
Your light is a beating heart
Inside you
The light is a burning star
The lighthouse stands alone
They see your light and go
The lighthouse stands alone
I washed up years ago
Waves they climb and fall
Surround you
Your light is a beating heart
Inside you
The light is a burning star
The lighthouse stands alone
They see your light and go
The lighthouse stands alone
I washed up years ago

'Blue Rain'
You're not fair
You don't need to speak
No more tears
I've just found my feet
How did I come back home?
How did I come back home?
Last in line
I'll dance on my own
Lost in time
Bend and twist these bones
How did I come back home?
How did I come back home?
How did I come back home?
How did I come back home?
It doesn't really matter as long as you know where you came from
And it doesn't seem to matter as long as you know where you're going
How did I come back home?
How did I come back home?
How did I come back home?
How did I come back home?

'Red To Grey'
On this perfect day
As the sun goes down
And the sky turns red
Over your home town
Tell her it's ok
That she left so soon
And you wipe the tiles
In your bathroom
And now something cold
Descends on you
The setting sun
This life you choose
And the stars will shine
Oh, less bright tonight
But the world is yours
Under electric light
How we healed our broken hearts
I should have known it from the start
Who will ever love me now?
I killed my last girlfriend!
And you sit so still
You could stare for hours
As you wash the pain
Under this cold shower
And you fold her up
Back in the box
And these sores that cry
A disease called love
How we healed our broken hearts
I should have known it from the start
Who will ever love me now?
I killed my last girlfriend!
Carol, please believe me
It rinsed the colour from my face
Carol, please believe me
It rinsed the colour from my face
And now these voices in my head
Fade away…
Fade away…
Red to grey…

'The World Turns'
Used to be so strong
I used to have the sunlight of a thousand suns
Used to be so pure
Pure as drops of water poised to fall
Now I feel so weak
My shoulders cannot carry all this weight I feel
And now it's all unclear
The muddied waters drowned me in those darkened years
And although the world turns
Well, I refuse
I want to go back
I don't want to lose
Eyes that shone so bright
Brighter than the sunrise and the morning light
But now my eyes can't see
I can't see further than the mist surrounding me
And although the world turns
Well, I refuse
I want to go back
I don't want to lose
Yes, I know the world turns
Well, I refuse
I don't want to change
But to learn you must lose

'At Last It Moves The Silence'
At last it moves the silence
At last it moves the silence
At last it moves the silence
At last it moves the silence
At last it moves the silence
At last it moves the silence
At last it moves the silence
At last it moves the silence
At last it moves the silence
At last it moves the silence
At last...

'The Last Hello'
If you saw me now
Old and out of time
If you touch my face
Trace the lines that crease
Fingers on my cheeks
Whispers in my ears
Light shines through the blinds
Hear a voice of knives
Incense of my death
On this day of mist
If you lift the veil
Mark the years I failed
The last hello
I just let it go
The last hello
I just had to let it go
Shrouded in a baby's fist
Put the water to my lips
I thought you knew
The moon is full
The sea is calm
The boat was pushed
I let it go…
The last hello
I just let it go
The last hello
I just had to let it go
