Who Were You

Who were you when the gloves were off And it all came down to the line
Who were you when the lights went out Were you flying blind
Who were you when the curtain fell Did they like what you said?
Was it just entertainment
And there’s no pride in my desire to see you fall
To see you taken to the wall
Who were you when the wall came down And hope flowed like wine
Who were you when deals were done Did you say what’s yours is mine?
And did you and your image Start to crack with time
Did you drown by your own hand
And there’s no saviour who can save you from yourself
The shattered pieces on the shelf Who are you?
Who were you When the gloves were off
When the lights went down
When the curtain fell
Who were you When the gloves were off
When the lights went down
When the curtain fell
When the walls came down

Don’t bring me Flowers When you are dead to me
And everything crashes to the ground
We both know the poison That tastes as sweet as win
But it’s over now
Cos I’ve Had too many conversations
I’ve heard too many lies
Watching something beautiful down and die
And I’ve Had too many nights alone
Been too long in the cold,
now I’m taking back my heart
And I’m taking back Control Control
Now I’m On the path that leads me home
I’ve crossed the bridge of sighs
Wiped away the blindfold From my eyes
Cos I’ve Wandered in the dark too long
Searching for my soul, Now I’m
Taking back my heart And I’m taking back
Control Control

These are the Days

These are the days You can’t hold them in your hand
All the moments passing by
These are the days A magic saraband
Beneath the sheltering sky
These are the days They may never be the same
Were there world enough or time
These are the days flowing through like river veins
Leading on to the sublime
So dance with me there on the other shore
And Sing with me songs you’ve not sung before
The darkening sky and the rising moon
Gone too soon

Kiss Him Goodbye

Kiss Him goodbye
There was a moment It was the past
That set the future The die was cast
You no longer recognise The version of yourself you used to sell
The power of a lie Featherlight corruption weaves its spell
There was a lover No passing fling
And on his finger A wedding ring
And the consequences flowed Like ripples on a river to the sea
But you were not to know The tide flows back to you endlessly
Now I can’t help you with your state of mind
The cuts are deepest when the blade is so refined
But the carnage never touched you, like you were born to fly
Kiss Him Goodbye
As you wrap yourself around him it’s a fading lullaby
Kiss Him Goodbye

Snow

Emptiness is guiding the way
To the horizon
All the edges melting away
I'm a child again washing me clean
It calls to me the cold in your eyes
Echoing beckoning
I'm reaching out for a crack in the ice
But it''s always winter inside
Emptiness is guiding the way
To the horizon
All the edges melting away and I'm alone again
Your breath in the air Your voice like a stone
Your silence the hardest blow
When you don't speak I can never get warm

Find My Way Home
03:47
|

|
Take me by the hand Walk with me to the sand
Cos I've been travelling alone
I need someone to help me find my way home
Won't you fly with me Across the land and to the sea
Cos I've been travelling alone
won't you help me help me find my way home
And all around the madness of the world
Defies the armour that you wear
And the dreams that you once held
Gone to air Gone to Air
Take my hand fly with me across the land
Cos you've been travelling alone
You need someone to help you find your way home

Take me to the Moon
03:50
|

Take me with you to the Moon
Take me with you to the Stars
Tell me if we're going soon
Take me with you up to Mars
This whole world's an abomination
Talk about a cruel joke
There's no room for reparation
Everybody's dreams going up in smoke
Watching how the boots go stomping
Doesn't sound like fun to me
Watching super rich go romping
It just ain't my cup of tea
It's no mystery why
I keep on looking to the sky
I'm not waiting for a sign
Another star another planet's what I've got to find
Watching how the boots go stomping
Doesn't sound like fun to me
Watching super rich go romping
It just ain't my cup of tea

Fall
04:14
|

|
Blue open sky
It's time to leave the lights you know behind
Blue Indigo
It's time to travel on to the unknown
Fragments of victory
Choice and regret
They don't own you don't define you anymore
Aching and longing and hunger for more
Will release you never keep you anymore
Just Fall into the blue
