Prisoner 04:35
I am a prisoner here Stranger in a foreign land There’s no way out of this hole Dug deep in the desert sand I was a visitor here Thought I could just pass through But now I’m stuck forever Forever chained to you I am a wounded animal Trapped in a rusty cage There’s no way out of here now No way to turn this page This is not what I signed up for I’m on the wrong side of another locked door Thought if I gave you what you need You’d stop trying to leave
2.
Jet Lag 05:34
Take me back to any other time To any moment but this In time I will be over it But now I’m just coasting ‘cause everybody said that you’d be leaving Everybody knew you wouldn’t stay But you’re here today Hold me down Under the waterfall Under the moonlight And say you’ll stay And I will hold you high Under starlit skies And everybody said That you’d be leaving Everybody knew You wouldn’t stay But you’re here today Take me back Hold me down Take me back Hold me down Everybody knows Everybody knows
3.
Machine 04:21
I don’t think this is going anywhere Don’t think you were even aware That I might be on my way out Just one more thing to cry about How could this be so painful to hear? You’re not the only one drowning in fear I was hooked up to a machine It was the loneliest I had ever been When everything is clouded By the longing that you feel You make it all about yourself Like no-one else is real I tore myself to pieces Trying to find my way to you But you won’t want to be here When my nightmares all come true They all come true They all come true And you make it all about yourself You make it all about yourself You make it all, you make it all You make it all about yourself This could be The only moment that was real This could be The only moment that was real
4.
Mocking Moon 04:39
I hope that someday you might See that it’s not right You made a big mistake tonight Standing in the wind alone Beneath the mocking full moon Colours fade to black and white Because I know that you’re broken ‘cause I am broken too And I would do anything To be the one that broke you Because I know that you’re haunted ‘cause I am haunted too and I would do anything To die in your arms and haunt you I would do anything To die in your arms and haunt you I hope that someday we’ll find A safer place to hide A place where we can own the night I know I’ll survive alone But I don’t want to go home Sick of pretending it’s alright Because I know that you’re broken ‘cause I am broken too And I would do anything To be the one that broke you Because I know that you’re haunted ‘cause I am haunted too And I would do anything To die in your arms and haunt you I would do anything To die in your arms and haunt you How did you know that you Would break my heart tonight How’d you decide that it Could never feel right Set me alight and then Watch me burn to ash Forever marooned Underneath this mocking moon
5.
No Sunlight 04:29
Bring me to life I don’t know if I’ll survive Here in this room For one more night One more day with no sunlight No end in sight How could I know what I wait for? Stay prepared for the worst I’ll fight this curse if you’ll be waiting Days pass me by Where I don’t know why I keep trying But that look in your eyes Tells me that this will be worth it Hold me ‘til I’m gone Hold me while I’m still here Hold me and keep me strong Hold me ‘til I disappear
6.
Fragile 04:21
If I could be honest now I would say That you’ll never get rid of me If you can stay faithful I’ll keep you near I will hold you so close my dear If we could stay warm in the coldest night Soft whispers by candlelight Stay electric I’ll stay on fire We can be all we desire ‘Cause I want you by my side I need you by my side Now I know that everything ends in time But for now I want you to be mine If we could be alone in a crowded place I would stay alive just to see your face Keep me hidden, I’ll keep you safe You can never be replaced ‘cause I want you by my side I need you by my side Now I know that everything ends in time But for now I want you to be mine Hold on, hold on If I could be so bold to say Hold on, hold on I will never let you get away I’ll stay gentle I’ll stay fragile I’ll stay gentle Please don’t make me cold
7.
Now And Then 05:09
Raise your glass up high There’s a new star in the sky All the words you can never say Rise with the wind and fade away The only thing worse than change Is staying the same day after day Night after night, year after year There is so much left to lose Sometimes we don’t get to choose How and when Now and then I dream myself awake And I know that’s when I’m learning how to swim In the turning tide, the seasonal drift And you know I’ll try To move alone with it Now the tides have turned Let the future that you’ve earned Start today Nothing left for you to say Rise with the wind and fade away Now and then I scream myself awake And I know that’s when I’m learning how to take The turning tide, the seasonal drift And you know I’ll try to move alone with it
8.
Storms 06:30
Suffering, endless suffering I don’t know why this is happening My mouth is dry and my chest is tight I don’t know how to sleep at night Suffering, endless suffering I don’t know where you are Or who you’ve seen I am all alone and I think I’m dying I think I’m dying alone This is the only way I know To let these demons go So sober and so tired And my ignorance has expired You know we should have tried But this is the life That I leave behind You left me alone with my Sickness and sleepless nights So sober and so tired And my patience has expired You know we should have tried But this is the life That I leave behind I leave it behind

about
