Silver
02:53
|
|||
I feel in tune to a bigger kind of life
And I can feel it, a wave running through my soul
Even when it rains, I see through the grey
'Cause every silver lining shows itself to me
I could run away or fake the right words to say
But I don't need to hide, my wonder is growing inside
Even when it rains, I see through the grey
'Cause every silver lining shows itself to me
Even when it rains, I see through the grey
'Cause every silver lining shows itself to me

Dreary Days
02:40
|
|||
Water falls down to my eyes
Rain blinding me
Dreary days, cold, cold nights
Bring my blue skies back
Thunderstruck by my own dumb luck
The stars forever hide
Dreary days, cold, cold nights
Bring my blue skies back
Open up these eyes of mine
Bring a new sunrise
Bring my blue skies back
Bring my blue skies back

Snared
03:21
|
|||
Oh, make your peace
Oh, if only
Oh, quiet these dreams
Oh, I know this game
Hiding in the shadows
Waiting for my weakest moment
Ready to strike me down
I gave it my all
Oh, if only
I could have made it work
Oh, I know this game
Crouching in the darkness
It waits for me to fall asleep
And send needles into my dreams
I stumble over snares
I'm caught in it's stare
It's trying to tear me down
Oh, I know this game

Winds Blowing
03:42
|
|||
Bring me all of your grace
I'll bring you sunshine
Endless worlds spin around my face
I don't know what I feel anymore
Winds blowing, clouds pour in
The sun goes away
I need to find a word to speak
To wake me up from this haze
I forgot what it is I seek
My world seems to mean nothing
Winds blowing, clouds pour in
The sun goes away
Wake up this heart of mine
I want to live again
Winds blowing, clouds pour in
The sun goes away

Just One
03:03
|
|||
Just one note to hold my reason
Just one reason to continue
Higher, and low down
Fire, and burned out
Just one breath, followed by the next
Just one spark that makes it burn
Higher, and low down
Fire, and burned out
Just one note

Live
02:51
|
|||
Time goes by, life unfolds before my eyes
I stand on the edge of worlds colliding
I face the curtain call
I'm basking in the grace
My face to the wind, and I still live
An endless dance, lost in time
I wonder ceaselessly
I stand at the wall, shed my pride
I'm not hiding anymore
I'm basking in the grace
My face to the wind, and I still live
Wonder, mercy me
I'm awake
I'm basking in the grace
My face to the wind, and I still live

In Flames
02:30
|
|||
I don't mind being nobody
Lists of lists ignore me
But sometimes I just have to scream
I'm going down in flames tonight
I'm going down in flames tonight
I don't mind minding my own business
Everyone has got something
But sometimes I just have to laugh
I'm going down in flames tonight
I'm going down in flames tonight
Don't look away, don't look away no
Don't look away, don't look away no
I'm sinking down
I'm going down in flames tonight
I'm going down in flames tonight

Give Me
03:42
|
|||
Call my name and calm my mind
A timeless dream awakens
Dying to make my way
Trace a wounded fire to it's source
Give me what I want, I'll run in place
Give me what I want, I'll show my face
Give me what I need, I'll run away
Give me what I need, I'll hide my ways
Plant a tree and stake your claim
Fill my heart with bliss
Trying to fill a void
Avoiding killing time
Give me what I want, I'll run in place
Give me what I want, I'll show my face
Give me what I need, I'll run away
Give me what I need, I'll hide my ways
Killing thoughts of doom
Chase me out of this mental room
Give me what I want, I'll run in place
Give me what I want, I'll show my face
Give me what I need, I'll run away
Give me what I need, I'll hide my ways

Stolen Fate
02:43
|
|||
Inside my skin I scream
Inside my skull, lights flashing
Stolen fate, stolen fate
Inside my dreams I wait
Inside my head I'm alive
Stolen fate, stolen fate
Chosen one, they all said
Chosen one, they all said
Stolen fate,stolen fate

Battle Cry
04:07
|
|||
I guess I'll burn those bridges
Burn them to the ground
I guess I'll burn those bridges
Burn them to the ground
I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of being down
I'm tired of the chances, hiding underground
In plain sight
Swallow down that bottle of rocks
And wash it down with sunshine
Swallow down that bottle of rocks
And wash it down with sunshine
I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of being fooled
I'm tired of chasing ghosts, wondering what's what
In this life
Call it my battle cry
Call it my battle cry
Cuz this is war
I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of being fooled
I'm tired of chasing ghosts, wondering what's what
In this life
Call it my battle cry
Call it my battle cry
Cuz this is war

Rain Down
04:09
|
|||
Colors form out of endless space
Swirling, flashes of light
Rain down on my eyes
Images I can't ignore
Spinning and floating
My endless dream
Rain down on my eyes
Am I what I seem
Alien castles on the moon
Fading lights in the sky
Rain down on my eyes
Worlds I've yet to see
Drifting and dancing
Extra points of light
Rain down on my eyes
Do the rules exist
A wild truce, gone too soon
Spinning and floating, drifting and dancing
Spinning and floating, drifting and dancing
Rain down on my eyes
|

The Pieces
03:31
|
|||
Pick up all, pick up all the pieces
When your heart won't stay broken
March back through that door
And take back your life
The world is waiting
For you to stay alive
You're not running out of time
You can still love
If you try, you can see the picture
Your whole life is leading up to this
The world is waiting
For you to stay alive
You're not running out of time
You can still love
You can get by, you'll see in time
This is not the end
Pick up all the pieces
Pick up all the pieces
You can still love

Fire Away
03:57
|
|||
Stuck back in my own world, I've given up my pride
A stolen glance of the universe hidden in my eyes
I ask a question, you refuse to answer
Do I fear love, or does love fear me
Fire away, fire away
I take my shot and call out loud
Know my name
I've spent a lot of time, giving my life away
Endless days pushing through the storm
I am a whirlwind, spinning chaos
I give up on chasing what I missed
Fire away, fire away
I take my shot and call out loud
Know my name
Fire away, fire away
Know my name, know my name
|

Bells
04:09
|
|||
Rise above the wind
My wings are worn and raw
I look out over waters, flowing to my heart
The world makes sense today, while I fly away
The sound I appear to make is just an illusion
The vows I tried to take end in confusion
I reach out to the noise, pluck memories from my mind
The world makes sense today and I've gone blind
Pick a word and suffer, the sticks and stones
I dream of all the time I could waste
The bells are ringing, calling me home

We Just Need
02:48
|
|||
Give me a chance to breathe
My world feels alive tonight
Just let that pain go
We can make the world we want to know
We just need to believe in love
Give some light to me
Our love can be alive tonight
Just let that pain go
We can make the world we want to know
We just need to believe in love
Give me a chance to breathe
Give some light to me
We just need to believe in love

The Signal
03:39
|
|||
I hear signals in the wind
I fear where it all begins
A choice left up to time
A hidden world to find
I feel the pull of the wild
I was such a foolish child
The signals that I fear
Miss my reception
I slip away in the haze
These endless days
I fade in the fire
Lost a reason to change
|
||||
19. |
Look My Way
03:20
|
|||
I don't know what to say
The look in your eyes makes me want to stay
Warm in your arms tonight
There's been a lot of pain in this life
The look in your eyes makes everything alright
If you look my way, I'll feel alright
I've been waiting for you all my life
Is it too far to go
The look in your eyes shows me what you know
And what you want tonight
We don't have to pretend
I don't want this night to end
Please look my way
Please look my way
I'll feel alright, alright

Just Another One
03:57
|
|||
When that wind is blowing
I forget my name and all my troubles
I may not know why I'm standing here
But everything in life becomes clear
I'm just a leaf dancing
While those cold winds blow
Are you one
Or just another one
When those stars shine
I mistake my fortune for fate
The wheel of time may lie
But truth is in your eyes
I'm just a leaf dancing
While those cold winds blow
Are you one
Or just another one
A shining light or darkest night
Am I a ghost haunting life
I don't know why I'm standing here
I don't know why I'm standing here
Everything in life becomes clear
|

Cross My Heart
03:10
|
|||
I set in place my own set of fears
I let them wear me down
Fires slowly fading
Wires crossing my heart
Cross my heart and hope to die
I tell myself those lies
I run in place til I'm satisfied
I let the demon run rampant
A sunset is slowly fading
Pins and needles in my hands
Cross my heart and hope to die
I tell myself those lies
Save the words I misspeak
I know it's all my fault
Oh, I will, I won't
Cross my heart and hope to die
I tell myself those lies
|

I Thought I was
02:28
|
|||
Does anybody know why, all these feelings go by
The wayside of my life
I've been known to play a trick or two
But I trick my heart when I'm with you
Can anybody tell me who I thought I was
When I was standing tall
I've been known to play a trick or two
But I trick my heart when I'm with you
Dancing waves, falling down
But I had all my pieces right
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Who I thought I was
Who I thought I was

No Pain
03:07
|
|||
I'm growing underwhelmed by the story so far
I don't wanna fight but I don't mind the scars
I'm making an excuse for every passing car
There's never a trick to show what you are
Break down me, shaking my brain
Lost around me, feeling no pain
I was taught a lesson on overload
I spent my youth on an open road
I missed the pain I never showed
I lost count of all the lines I towed
Break down me, shaking my brain
Lost around me, feeling no pain
Feeling no pain
|

Fastwalker
03:07
|
|||
Drifting along with my eyes to the sky
Walking faster and I can't believe my eyes
I hope I make it home, I'm haunted by the unknown
Lights growing brighter, silence fills my ears
Other worlds I can't explain, preying on my fears
I hope it passes me by, I can't believe my eyes
Darkness returns, above me only stars
I don't feel right, counting down my scars
I hope I made it out, but I can't shake the doubt
I hope I made it out, but I can't shake the doubt
He's a real fast walker
He's a real fast walker

Forgotten Tears
02:58
|
|||
The rain falls on my window like tears forgotten
The rain in my heart never dried up
That sun can stay away
Cause I can break my heart
On my own
A smile soon forgotten like an angel in disguise
A smile is hard to see reflected in the rain
That sun can stay away
Cause I can break my heart
On my own
I don't need to be told
Why I feel so old
Why there's always rain in the way
Night falls down and I'm alone
But I don't want this feeling any more
Shining sun, please come home
I don't want this broken heart
|

Say All You Want
03:00
|
|||
Pockets full of sand where silver should be
Say all you want to me
I keep the secrets safe
My head full of dreams where reality should be
Say all you want to me
I never let it go
Always dreaming, always walking
Down that winding road
I promise I'm on my way, I promise I won't be late
Say all you want to me
Say all you want to me
Say all you want to me
I won't say goodbye

If You Want It
03:02
|
|||
It's just another Saturday, but I feel alright
I've got nothing going on, it's just another night
So come and say hello
You don't have to go
We don't have to be alone tonight
The world is ours tonight, if you want it
The stars shine for us, if you want it
This is our night
Let's make it shine, put on that fancy dress
I'm feeling fine, so put me to the test
Please say hello
You don't have to go
We don't have to be alone tonight
The world is ours tonight, if you want it
The stars shine for us, if you want it
This is our night
Let's set the world on fire
Fire
The world is ours tonight, if you want it
The world is ours tonight, if you want it
Please say hello
You don't have to go
We don't have to be alone tonight
Tonight

Chances
03:06
|
|||
Chances are I gave away too much
I've gone far with a soul to touch
Races run, feelings gone
Truth like a punch, endless streams
Chances are I missed my mark
I've gone far from what I used to be
Innocent belief, rain in the streets
Impolite manipulations of the heart
Chances are all I have left
I've gone far with weight on my chest
Tearing off the words
Cast into shadows unwelcome
Chances are I'm not heard
I've gone far from here

Hallowed
03:23
|

Years go by, time never dies
Years go by, time never dies
Count my wounds, many moons
Go past my eyes
Years go by, time never dies
Years go by, time never dies
Missing pieces, ticking bombs
Wait to call me home
Years go by, time never dies
Years go by, time never dies
Trusting looks, all hallowed
A fear put to rest
Years go by, time never dies
Years go by, time never dies
Simple rebirth, darkened eyes
What may last is never known
Years go by, time never dies
Years go by, time never dies
Hushed voices, softly singing
Time never dies
