When you know, you know, I know
With you I'm going to go somewhere I've never been
But it's where I want to be, I breathe easy for the
first time
I never got much out of this life,
Never saw myself in someone's eyes until this day
Never had the things I really wanted,
Never had the things that people flaunted
Until this day with you
I can't explain just how changed how I see myself now,
it's amazing
I never want this feeling to leave me
Please don't ever leave me
I never got much out of this life,
Never saw myself in someone's eyes until this day
Never had the things I really wanted,
Never had the things that people flaunted
Until this day with you
I never saw this coming on
And now that it's here I won't let go
This could save me
I never got much out of this life,
Never saw myself in someone's eyes until this day
Never had the things I really wanted,
Never had the things that people flaunted
Until this day with you
I know this is the best thing for me
I wonder, can you hear me?
Have you been here all this time, right here with me?
Or is this all for nothing, am I talking to the air? Nothing here.
I need you to be here to say goodbye, all this time.
But years come and go and I still have dreams that your here.
What's real is the fact that I cant recall the sound of your voice.
I don't want to lose the memories, the way I lost you. They're all I had.
Life was never on our side.
Hard candy and pipes of tobacco, symphonies and apple peels; I see so clear.
Your arms, your face, your smile,
all the things I hold so dear are slipping away from me.
So show me the way 'cause I cannot find it on my own.
Life has a way of taking away the things I love the most.
What's real is the fact that I cant recall the sound of your voice.
I don't want to lose the memories, the way I lost you. They're all I have.
Life was never on our side.
Sleep holds no peace for me I cry in my dreams and wake in pain.
Sleep still holds no peace for me.
I don't want to dream and wake in pain.
I don't want to lose the memories the way I lost you.
I sang the song the blackbird sings, a song so blue.
A requiem for the dreams he never knew. I never knew what I missed when Im so focused on things I cant undo. Standing's only half the battle now I have to move.
Finally everythings unfolding now,
i'd forgotten how life can pick you up when it spits you out.
Im ok now.
Im forgetting all the years i spent hoping things would change.
Today is a good day, a good day.
I'll take this time to be thankful for all the days I'm given
cuz every moment spent on wishes is a moment im missing.
i dont want to waste my time, I want to be there for life.
I dont want to waste my time, this is my life.
Finally everythings unfolding now,
i'd forgotten how life can pick you up when it spits you out.
Im ok now.
Im forgetting all the years i spent hoping things would change.
Today is a good day, a good day.
Its never late, things can change. Everyday has a meaning. And i know when things get hard you want to run away.
but these things you can face and this fate you can change.
And this place will hold joy if you stay where you are,
dont you push it away.
Finally everythings unfolding now,
i'd forgotten how life can pick you up when it spits you out.
Im ok now.
Im forgetting all the years i spent hoping things would change.
One trip it all came down
you think it's over now.
but its not time to break
there's at least 10 more rounds in this game.
I know the way from here, so I'll go and one day you'll care.
And everything you say and everything you take could never make me give in.
So you just give me time and please believe that I'll forget about this one day.
Cuz I'll try til my whole face goes blue and I cant breathe
this chance is worth taking.
So take this time, say goodbye cuz I'll follow this road til the end.
One step the world awaits.
It all begins today.
Just know i didnt break,
this time there's nothing you can say.
I know the way from here, so I'll go and one day you'll care.
And everything you say and everything you take could never make me give in.
So you just give me time and please believe that I'll forget about this one day.
Cuz I'll try til my whole face goes blue and I cant breathe
this chance is worth taking.
So take this time, say goodbye cuz I'll follow this road til the end.
They say live and let live, forget but i cant forgive someone with a heart that cannot give.
There's no room for those so critical of everything that's meaningful.
Bound in flesh where blood runs deep,
and underneath are 1000 years tied to stones thrown in,
not deep enough for me...
Who cares about these ties,
they bound me by my neck and they choke me,
Who cares about lost time,
Because you threw the clock away.
I'll cut the pieces of you away,
a monument to pain,
but cuts turn to scars and they don't fade,
it's all the same,
you never asked me what I thought of you,
it doesn't matter, who cares?
Who cares about these ties,
they bound me by my neck and they choke me,
Who cares about lost time,
Because you threw the clock away.
Why do I find its not so hard to say we're over and done with?
it's over.
Why do I find its not so hard for me to go,
Why do I find it's not so hard to say we're over and done with?
we're over. Why do I find it's not so hard for me to go?
Why do I find, it's not so hard to go?
Why do I find it's not so hard to leave?
Who cares about these ties,
they bound me by my neck and they choke me,
Who cares about lost time,
Because you threw the clock away.
Why do I find its not so hard to say we're over and done with? its over.
Why do I find its not so hard to go?
Why do I find its not so hard to say we're over and done with? It's over.
Why do I find its not so hard for me to leave.
I dont want to have to say this twice,
dont make me lift a finger,
even though i owe you one.
i can think of a thousand things inside my head i'd love to scream
but i just hold my tongue.
you dont think that i can hear but my ears are always burning.
dont make me say this twice.
Dont you tell me that its ok, that you never said a word when I wasnt looking.
I'll tear this playhouse down and laugh at how your drama has no place.
You never should have crossed me.
Now that I know that things will never ever be the same..
oh wait, i forgot that this was never really all that great.
There are better ways to waste my time, stay right there
I'll be the one to walk away from
you dont think that i can hear but my ears are always burning.
dont make me say this twice.
Dont you tell me that its ok, that you never said a word when I wasnt looking.
I'll tear this playhouse down and laugh at how your drama has no place.
You never should have crossed me
You dug your grave, you cant get out
should i top the dirt off to keep you down?
You dug your grave, you cant get out
should i top the dirt off to keep you down?
You dont think that i can hear.
Silence, listen
Write it down, take it in
I was never interested in shadows,
they've nothing for me.
And i will never be your shadow though you look right through me.
This is not the way to live a life, it's not a life.
It's just a way of wasting time, I wont waste time.
Cause you give up...
On everything...
Thrown away, your only chance to ever know me in and out.
Im shutting down now.
If i was the best thing ever for you, you wont see cuz its gone now.
I can hear the things you say, all your complaints.
Where's tomorrow? I hate today, wont this go away?
But while you shut your eyes, it's passing by. I'll wave goodbye.
But its not me thats on your mind. Am i on your mind?
You give up...
On everything...
Thrown away, your only chance to ever know me in and out.
Im shutting down now.
If i was the best thing ever for you, you wont see cuz its gone now.
One more last chance
Makes no difference
They're all the same...
They're all the same...
One more last chance
Makes no difference
They're all the same...
They're all the same...
Thrown away, your only chance to ever know me in and out.
Im shutting down now.
If i was the best thing ever for you, you wont see cuz its gone now.
I'll watch you throw this away.
oh dont you throw it away.
one day it will be worth it.
Oh don't you throw this away
I know it's worth it to you
It wasn't time for this,
it never is,
the minutes, they hide from me,
and it's the cruelest game of hide and seek,
where all I want is slipping through my fingers,
and I'm crumbling, it all falls apart everytime.
this break forms on a fault,
everything's fragile now,
and hanging by my last heartstring,
these eyes glaze over,
these feet stumble forth,
and everything is ignored,
these feet stumble forth,
these eyes glaze over,
there's nothing to see here anymore.
and it's something I've always wanted,
something I'm always chasing,
but I followed it down too far,
into the trenches,
down where this belongs now.
this break forms on a fault,
everything's fragile now,
and hanging by my last heartstring,
these eyes glaze over,
these feet stumble forth,
and everything is ignored,
these feet stumble forth,
these eyes glaze over,
there's nothing to see here anymore.
And I'll say goodbye to the thing I've always wanted,
let it go.
this break forms on a fault,
everything's fragile now,
and hanging by my last heartstring,
these eyes glaze over,
these feet stumble forth,
and everything is ignored,
these feet stumble forth,
these eyes glaze over,
So this is where that road goes.
The shaded back road that desperate chose,
it leads you here to your last fight
and its ticking by.
You're dying slowly,
open your eyes.
This fight you're failing losing pieces of your life.
This picture's fading, there are memories on the line.
so one more battle can you turn it all around?
It's all depending on you, this final round.
With every step you find that vision gets a bit more hazy.
You fight for balance struggling in the wake of fragments of dreams
and they're ending here, lying broken dying at your feet.
will you turn and leave?
You're dying slowly,
open your eyes
This fight you're failing losing pieces of your life.
This picture's fading, there are memories on the line.
so one more battle can you turn it all around?
It's all depending on you, this final round.
you're all you have left, and you can't be carried.
your condition is "breaking"
your back is crumbling, open your eyes.
is this what you want for your life?
open your eyes
is this what you want for your life?
open your eyes
This fight you're failing losing pieces of your life.
This picture's fading, there are memories on the line.
so one more battle can you turn it all around?
It's all depending on you, this final round.
You're dying slowly,
From the top I fell and landed on my face
The bottom became my place
So far under low you almost couldn't see me
Kept falling in and digging holes that were just way too deep
And tunnel vision's all I know (all I know)
True perspective never holds (never holds)
Stationery never got me anywhere
I'm broken in but breaking out of here
I'll fake it if that's what it takes to get me moving
Sometimes it takes a crash to turn around your thinking
Tell me that this time there's something out there for me
Tell me there's something
Nothing helps to call you out
It broke my legs and brought me down
Just in case blue skies were forming
It broke my neck and blacked me out
Shoved the shade in, forced it down
And tore the sky down for me
Nothing helps to call you out
It broke my legs and brought me down
Just in case blue skies were forming
It broke my neck and blacked me out
Shoved the shade in, forced it down
And tore the sky down for me
And tunnel vision's all I know
True perspective never holds
Stationery never got me anywhere
I'm broken in but breaking out of here
This time I want to feel something
It's time I feel there's something there
This time I want to feel something
It's time I feel there's something there
This time I want to feel something
It's time I feel there's something there
This time I want to feel something
It's time I feel there's something there
I want to feel
(I feel so alone)
I need to feel
(Lost it all)
I want to feel
(I feel so alone)
I need to feel
But tunnel vision's all I know
And true perspective never holds
Stationery never got me anywhere
I'm broken in but breaking out of here
This time I feel there's something there
Ten thousand clocks but now I care
[Chorus]
I can't find a way out
and the clocks are broken, leaking time.
One more second, I may die
'Cuz my wounds are open bleeding life.
[Verse 1]
You're a problem, I'll never solve.
How do I say it and let it go?
You never told me just what you wanted,
I'm only guessing you're wanting me.
I never said this is what I wanted,
A love that's shaking and all onesided.
So tell me why you have kept me here,
Empty and lifeless, afraid to leave this.
Should I stay and pretend to smile?
There's nothing for me, I need to go.
[Chorus]
I can't find a way out
and the clocks are broken, leaking time.
One more second, I may die
'Cuz my wounds are open bleeding life.
Where do you go when your eyes are closed?
Why do you waste it all for show?
Am I there when your eyes are closed?
Am I wasting this all for show? Am I wrong? Is this wrong?
Is it a lie? You always lie.
Look at you, already gone..
But expecting me here waiting for you when
you're feeling lonely.
[Chorus]
I can't find a way out
and the clocks are broken, leaking time.
One more second, I may die
'Cuz my wounds are open bleeding life.
And I will never know
why I let myself be broken.
But when this rip becomes a tear,
I'll have lost the will for hoping. If i stay I risk losing a part of me that i once loved.
And you're not worth that loss,
I'll chalk it up to broken hearts.
If I'm strong and I dig myself out,
I'll live.
[Chorus]
I can't find a way out
and the clocks are broken, leaking time.
One more second, I may die
'Cuz my wounds are open bleeding life.
I didn't plan this and if I did,
I wouldn't be having this conversation now
'Cause I can't take it, no I can't take it but I'll be
fair
And I won't fake this, I can't unbreak something that's
broken now
This is over for me
[Chorus]
This is just the way it has to be
And I'm sorry, please believe me it's not what I wanted
This is just the way this has to be
Please forgive me when I tell you it's not what I
wanted
Hey you, hey you
Keep breathing, keep breathing
Hey you, hey you
If it's meant to be, it will come back to you
So now here we are in this place where both of us
should never have to be
We put out everything, it didn't mean we wouldn't bleed
Maybe it wasn't supposed to last forever, but maybe's
not what we need
This is something that I chose, so why does it always
have to kill me?
[Chorus]
This is just the way it has to be
And I'm sorry, please believe me it's not what I wanted
This is just the way this has to be
Please forgive me when I tell you it's not what I
wanted
Hey you, hey you
Keep breathing, keep breathing
Hey you, hey you
If it's meant to be, it will come back to you
I am lost, so far from unknown
Who will save me from myself?
I am lost so far from unknown
Who will save me from myself?
[Chorus]
This is just the way it has to be
And I'm sorry, please believe me it's not what I wanted
This is just the way this has to be
Please forgive me when I tell you it's not what I
wanted
Hey you, hey you
Keep breathing, keep breathing
Hey you, hey you
Everybody make some room, they're coming
Back it up, don't you know who's walking?
These are the biggest stars. They think they're going far
But let's back it up, back it up, back it up now
We invited you, this is our town and we don't take kindly to liars
Who asked you anyway?
Run your mouth and watch this slip away, you'll never take what we made.
We're better off now that you're gone
And I'm not sorry, I'll never apologize for the truth:
We're better off without you.
Now you can blame me all day for your loss,
but you got what you deserved, this is your fault.
So tell me all you know, it doesn't seem like that much now.
I am done being silent, compliant, useless and spineless, afraid.
I said I'm done being silent, compliant, useless and spineless. I'm not afraid.
None of this was ever yours
and I almost lost the things I worked so hard for.
Run your mouth and watch this slip away, you'll never take what we made.
We're better off now that you're gone
And I'm not sorry, I'll never apologize for the truth:
We're better off without you.
It's a sad day when you realize your friends will turn their backs,
but I'm getting past it all and I think we're right on track.
But you were never my friends, I could tell by all the things you said.
I won't forget, I won't forget.
You asked for silence so you can still hold up your head
but I can recall that when it was me the same courtesy was never granted.
You asked for silence so you can still hold up your head
I promise I won't speak, I'll sing this song instead.
Run your mouth and watch this slip away, you'll never take what we made.
We're better off now that you're gone
And I'm not sorry, I'll never apologize for the truth:
the blues the greys the rainy days, they're coming to get ya
they rearrange and seem to change, the rhythm it sets ya
we crave the wave we need to save the thrill and the feeling
part of the flood boarding the blood what is it we're dealing
you find it hard to draw the line from one verse to the next one
can it all just be undone?
but its alright, its ok, you know theres one who looks at you to say
its alright, its ok I am with you we can face the darkest day
we stand we fall we run we crawl anothers perception
the view refracts the light reacts you know we buy the deception
I think I see what it will be you know I make my decision
i look at you what did you do you looked beyond position
you find it hard to draw the line from one view to the next one
can they all just be undone?
Mundane predictability
Dawns on me like the sunrise
There's no unknown within the place
Where I exist
Mechanic like occurrence
Of each days routine
With prosaic efficiency
That steals the dream
If you always do what you've always done
And you always sing what you've always sung
Then you'll always get what you always had
If you always go where you've always been
You'll always see what you've always seen
And you'll always be who you always are
It's time for change, can't live like this no more
It's time for change, can't live like this no more
The insecurity of difference
It threatens my very core
It wraps and binds me up
Walked home tonight through the streets
Where we all came of age
Buildings still the same but the faces
Now seem so strange
Though its been so many years
Since I saw your face
I still think about you all the time
But you left no trace
Where are you now?
Do you have somebody to love you?
Where are you now?
Could it be that you're thinking about me too
I'd give anything to see you again
I'd give anything to see you again
No-one else
Could come close
To your Memory
I'd give anything to see you again
Do you still believe in the Faith
That burned inside of us
Is your soul like a stone like our friends
Eroded to dust
Though it's been so many years
Since I heard your voice
One question still remains
Did you make the choice?
This town has watched us rise and fall
To famine and to fame
Won't gain the World to lose my soul
Blue summer carpet 'tween the trees
No longer smothered by the leaves
You bring your sun to light the days
The summertime lightens my ways
Though the rain is falling fast
The summer in your heart will last
Kicking darkness far away
Lighting up the darkest day
Though the discontented,
Misconnected winters come and go
Still you shine as mine
No UV warning needed for this show
So come on now
Let's bring the summer in
Though days are cloudy
Come on now
Let's bring the summer in
Let's change the season
For one reason
Bring the summer in
No sweat marks lurking underneath
No fast acting anti histamines
No need to fear the outside burn
Just be prepared for inside turn
Sky forms the feeling day by day
But you can choose to push away
Any winter of your heart
Bring in summer at the start
So as you plan your steps along
This weather front stays ever strong
No need to pack your water proofs
Just get the sunnys, drop the roof
Live in summertime today
Its burning in you day by day
Every season of your soul
When I look at you
I see something so beautiful
When I see you
You shine the truth
When I look I see
All you shine and all your beauty
If you only knew what i know
And if you only knew what I know
If you'd only seen what I've seen
If you understood what I now understand
Then you would surely see
And you would listen just to me
For you are beautiful
You are beautiful
Beautiful to me
If you could shut the eary darkness
And if you could focus on the light
If you could hear the song
That's sung over you
So don't give them the power
To tell them who you are
For you were born to shine
Through the noise of the street
And the screams inside my head
I don't seem to find peace
Through the words that you have said
The traffic's constant pulse through the rush of pouring rain
Make me crave for a moment
When I can hear you speak again
Running round like I need to break free
Come to me like I need you to be
I can't hear you
No matter how hard I try
I can't hear you
I know that you'll hear my cry
Longing for the hush
That escapes me every day
Need to break through it all
But there seems no easy way
Fortress all around me
Sound walls moving in
Desperate just to you hear you
I love it, I hate it
For the fire it stirs in me
My passion, soul ashen
Do I want to be set free?
When time marches on relentless
I reach for you
When pressing on seems senseless
I reach (for you)
Kill my idols
Only you can satisfy
Kill my idols
You won't let me calcify
I love it, I hate it
Like I love and hate myself
You are my golden eye
Teach me to delight in you
And you can take
You can take it all away
My fist is open
She's been drifting for too long now
But now her ship's come in
He'd been running from the shadows
Now sunlight floods within
There's something new inside
First time to realise
Afterglow
Afterglow
He built his fortress so high
With walls of past mistakes
But now he leaves it burning
Purged from regret's heartbreak
There's something new inside
First time to realise
New light behind those eyes
First time to realise
Afterglow
Afterglow
Afterglow
Afterglow
I've been drifting for too long now
But now my ship's come in
I've been running from the shadows
Keep expecting so much
Seeing little in return
Desperate for the deeper moments
Begin to see them slowly burning down
I see them slowly burning down
Needing meaning in this
Heavy day I seem to bear
Everything comes into question
Lessons learned just seem to tear apart
They seem to tear apart
And I am underwhelmed again
Wanting more than you are giving
Underwhelmed again
Is there more that I am seeing
You promised me so much when
We began to walk this way
You said we'd change the world together
But now it seems we're nowhere further on
It seems we're nowhere further on
There must be more
Much more than this
Please show me more
At the lowest low now
Thinking I should can it all
Needing breakthrough from the nothing
But remembering the call
Where it really started
Hearing fresh your voice again
Something calling me to press on
Seeing you again
I'm bowing down
I'm bowing down
And I am overwhelmed again
I hear your voice still calling for me
Overwhelmed again
Remembering all you've made for me
Overwhelmed again
Not deserving all you're giving
Overwhelmed again
I hear your voice calling me, seducing me
To jump into the waters again
My body aches, restraining me, reminding me
Every time I drown in my shame
I'm diving headlong
The current's too strong
I knew it was wrong
I'll end up washed up on the shore again
Won't somebody, somebody, anybody
Won't somebody rescue me?
Won't somebody, somebody, anybody
Won't somebody rescue me
From the face I try to hide
When I fall undignified?
Won't somebody, somebody, anybody
Won't somebody rescue me?
I see the trap, red alert: the threat is there
I have a master and it's not you
Self confident, my will of steel, there'll be no deal
Whatever is noble
Whatever is true
So compelling
Perfect to you
Whatever you heard or learnt or receive
It's time to practise what you believe
Think, just think about it
Let it totally fill your mind
Look ahead and not behind
Whatever is generous
Whatever is sound
Or just and good and honourable
Or beauty bound
Honest and real
