When The Pieces Fall

Sometimes you've gotta hold onto the things
That make life seem real
'Cause every once in a while
Something good will come along
That takes your breath away
'Cause I know
What it's like
To feel left on your own
For things to slip through your fingers like sand
Sometimes you've gotta push through all the pain
That makes the heart grow strong
And through the darkest nights
I wish that I could sleep
To dream of the times we had
'Cause I know
What it's like
To feel left on your own
For things to slip through your fingers like sand
And I know
That I've lied
To try to tell myself it's all right
So I can pick up the pieces when they fall
How was I wrong?
Somebody said that it'll be all right
And I believed him
Sometimes you've gotta let go of the thoughts
That make you feel alone
'Cause when I see your smile
It takes me to a place
I thought I'd never go
'Cause I know
What it's like
To feel left on your own
For things to slip through your fingers like sand
And I know
That I've lied
To try to tell myself it's all right
So I can pick up the pieces when they fall

The Rain

If you could pause a moment
Would it always feel the same?
Would you try to read your emotions
Like letters on a page?
Are we drawn like flies to a light
To the things that make us feel alive?
Are we wasting all our time
When we put our hopes so high?
Before the sea
Calms and recedes
The waves will rise again
Before the sun
Comes over the hill
The rain will fall again
If your thoughts could paint a picture
Would they paint it all in grey?
Would you switch from fact to fiction
And pretend that you're OK?
Do we tape over our mouths
To stop screaming everything out loud?
Do we hide from the light we've found
Amongst the shade, behind the clouds?
Before the sea
Calms and recedes
The waves will rise again
Before the sun
Comes over the hill
The rain will fall again
The leaves fall from the
Trees onto the ground
They float along in the
Wind without a sound
Without a sound
Before the sea
Calms and recedes
The waves will rise again
Before the sun
Comes over the hill
The rain will fall again
Before the sun
Comes over the hill
The rain will fall again

Something More
05:48

The sky is white
And the birds won't sing
And the trees are all on fire
Cracks appear
In the frozen ground
And I hear the voices screaming
Your name
And in the fire I can see your face
Oh
I need to get away
'Cause something's chasing me
Surely this should be easier
I need a change of pace
And just a little space
I need something more
Something more
The birds don't fly
With their tattered wings
And the smoke is rising higher
Shadows dance
In the mist
And the trees exchange whispers
Of your name
And in the fire they can see your face
Oh
I need to get away
'Cause something's chasing me
Surely this should be easier
I need a change of pace
And just a little space
I need something more
Something more
Something more
I am tired of being here
I'm tired of giving into fear
I need to get away
'Cause something's chasing me
Surely this should be easier
I need a change of pace
And just a little space
I need something more
Something more
Something more

Footprints

Close your eyes
Sleep
And I'll meet you by the trees
Go and run
Hide
Try to forget the memories
Walk in the sun
Don't stray into the shade
Come with me
Tonight
And our ship will sail away
Oh, your hands were cold
As the hail came down
And they waves, they rose
All around
But as we sailed for home
You and I, my friend
We were warm
Run away
With me
We'll lay beneath the stars
I would give
Up
All I own to have your heart
Now I've seen
A place
Where people rarely go
Hidden
Away
Like footprints in the snow
Oh, your hands were cold
As the hail came down
And they waves, they rose
All around
But as we sailed for home
You and I, my friend
We were warm
I would walk the earth
If it meant I could be with you
We could have the stars
And then we'd take the moon
I'd crawl along the shores
Shout your name as the waves roared
The foam would sting my eyes
As the water drowned my cries
Drowned my cries
Oh, your hands were cold
As the hail came down
And they waves, they rose
All around
But as we sailed back home
You and I, my friend
We were warm

Stars and Maelströms
04:42
|
|

I watched you drift away
And leave me alone
On this isle
Of isolation
But I will brave the storms
Of the ocean
And build a boat
To sail me home
And maybe I will drown
Sink down, sleep soundly
Or maybe I'll be lost
With no salvation
But I will search the stars
And the illumination
Will light the way back home
Back to you
Your face was in the waves
It hypnotised me
And I dreamed
Of running through the jungle
But then I felt the pull
Of the maelström
It pulled me down
And maybe I will drown
Sink down, sleep soundly
Or maybe I'll be lost
With no salvation
But I will search the stars
And the illumination
Will light the way back home
Back to you
And now the storm has taken hold
Of me
A prisoner of the sea
And I can't sail away this time
To you
To where I wanna be
'Cause I'm sinking down (sinking down)
Water is crushing me, I'm fading out (fading out)
Drinking up the poison as I'm sinking down (further down)
Water is crushing me, I'm fading out (fading out)
The stars all cast their light on the wreck
They bleed as the waves rush over my head
And maybe I will drown
Sink down, sleep soundly
Or maybe I'll be lost
With no salvation
But I will search the stars
And the illumination
Will light the way back home
Back to you

Go to sleep
You'll see me in your dreams
And I'll wait for you
Beside the stormy seas
Escape while you can
This world of enemies
Just leave this place
And all your memories
Take my hand
Follow me down
Forget the world
That let you down
Don't wake me up
I've found the way to go
There's a place for you and I
Along this barren road
So take my hand
As the world starts falling down
We're together now
And we are getting out
Take my hand
Follow me down
Forget the world
That let you down
Heed my words
Follow the sound
Forget the world
That let you down
I will find you
In the dark
Feel the beating
Of your heart
A thousand voices
Scream your name
We can't go back there
We're not the same
Take my hand
Follow me down
Forget the world
That let you down
Heed my words
Follow the sound
Forget the world
That let you down
