Help Me Out of the Dark
03:24
|
|||
|
I think I need
Someone to show me the light
Take me by the hand please
And help me out of the dark
Verse 1:
Oh please
Don’t tell me how to be
Cos right now I need a friend
More than I need to see
Take a trip with me
Into the places I’ve been
Every shadow in my heart
Is a roadmap for me
Verse 2:
Tell me about you
Cos I want to know
All the places inside us
That we never show
Try to hold on tight
This ride could get real
And if you close yourself down
What will you ever feel?
Chorus:
I can hear Angels crying
I can feel whole worlds burning
But you and I
Were never mean’t to be apart
So take me by the hand
And help me out of the dark
Verse 3:
So take me by the hand
Help me out of the dark
I don’t care if I’m blinded
Just help me out of the dark
If you’re drowning in shadows
It’s not a walk in the park
All I need is a friend
To help me out of the dark

We Are The Ones
03:14
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I fall
To the ground
You stand tall
You hold me up
I think
That you are a Goddess
Sometimes
I feel faithless
Chorus:
We are the ones who care the most
We are the ones who want to share the most
We are the ones who need to dare the most
Cos’ we are the ones who always bear the most
Verse 2 :
We have seen
Every heartache
Felt the calm
Between every single storm
We are rocks
For you to build upon
We will sing
You other songs

Other Days
04:06
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I look out the window
To greet the day
And it never matters
If I’ve nothing else to say
Chorus:
Oh well
There’s always other days
We tell ourselves
There’s always other days
Verse 2:
You can hold a feeling
As close as any you have held
It will only vanish
When you forget how it was made
Chorus:
Oh well
There’s always other days
We tell ourselves
There’s always other days
Verse 3:
I’ve seen empty hearts and
I’ve seen Godless ways
All the worst within ourselves
Rewarded come what may
Chorus:
Oh well
There’s always other days
We tell ourselves
There’s always other days
Oh well
There’s always other days
We tell ourselves
There’s always other days
Until there comes a time
When there’s no more days

Hearts of Stone
03:22
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Sometimes
I hope that Heaven’s Vault
Has Cracked
Wide open
Forgive me
But I think it might be just
If we remembered
To pray where that might happen
Chorus:
Do we have hearts of stone
That we ignore the cries?
Can we really turn away what’s needed?
Do we have hearts of stone?
Verse 2:
I feel
A stirring in the air
But I know it hasn’t
Really fanned the flames yet
I’ll take
Another yesterday
Just because
It might be worse this time tomorrow
Verse 3:
Alright
So we might just have a chance
But only if we learn
To work together
Don’t think
It’s all that much to ask
Cos let’s face it
We’re not getting any younger

|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I’m all burned out
And you just wanna twist and shout
So whatcha gotta dance about?
You wanna talk
Like little elves and little wizards
So whatcha gonna talk about?
Chorus:
I’m all burned out
Yeah I can’t bare the state I’m in
I’m all burned out by life
I’m all burned out
And I could sleep a thousand years tonight
All burned out by life
Verse 2:
I’m so burned out
That I can feel things slipping from me
So watcha wanna think about?
D’you wanna make
Like everything is cool and special
What else we gonna lie about?
Verse 3:
I’m all burned out
If you’re on vapours you’re ahead of me
So whatcha got to brag about?
You wanna tell me
Everything that I did wrong
So what d’ya wanna talk about?

Do You Still Believe?
04:15
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Climbed in the back
Of my head for a while
So sick and tired
Of all the fighting in the world
My instincts say
Just run away
But I can’t find
Any way to get me out of here
Chorus
Do you still believe?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Do you still believe?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Verse 2:
So now we’re here
And I can’t understand
Just what is real
And what is fantasy
My head is saying
Don’t pay it any mind
But my heart keeps showing me
My head is never kind

Catalyst
03:21
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
So many broken dreams
Such a colourful kaleidoscope of fear
Always a bad way
To start up a conversation
And now you leave the bottle empty
And I think its started raining again
And we all want somewhere comfortable
Yeah, when the rain is falling
Refrain:
Don’t try to help me
Unless you’re really really sure
That you can spare the time
Cos’ I think I deserve a little more
Chorus:
And I believe
You made a catalyst of me
I feel deceived
You have stopped believing
I’ve been thinking
That this can never be the way
Cos’ I just won’t burn up
Like a catalyst
Verse 2:
Well I’m gonna make my purpose
Give myself a different way to be
So many choices
To make differently
Yeah I say you have take the time to think
Maybe you’ll get left behind
When everything changes
Like it always does
Refrain:
Don’t say you’ll help me
If your own life is on the floor
I can lend a hand
But I can’t promise anymore

This Time Tomorrow
03:05
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I’ve heard there’s gonna be trouble
Looks like it’s already begun, well
You stop ducking and diving
You get hit dead on
And things are really gonna shake up
With anxiety and fear
So if you want my advice now baby
You’d better just disappear
Chorus:
Well I know I’m going crazy
That I’m living in a dream
But if I’m crazy, so’s the World
And that’s not how things should be
And if I start looking for trouble
It’ll all just turn out mean
Let’s see if this time tomorrow baby
Things are really how they seem
Verse 2:
My walls are turning into prisons
And I don’t have any keys
But still I can’t see any locks or guards
But I know that can’t be real
We all know giving is better
That avarice is a sin
But if you’re selfish in this world
Then you fit right in

A Revolution
03:24
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
We watch
We think we see the world we think we see
Through eyes
That are blinded in the light
We feel
That something somewhere must be wrong
That thought
Lives inside you all the time
Chorus:
Tonight there’ll be
A Revolution
We’ll watch the stars fall from the sky
Tonight there’ll be
A Revolution
Tomorrow we’ll be done with lies
Verse 2:
We know
We always seem to find the things to say
Through lips
That are always hiding
And the lies
That drip like saccharine to hide the truth
Have poisoned
Every dream we ever made
|

10. |
||||
|
Verse 1:
Down in the dark
Where all my monsters live
I felt a spark
From where my conscience’s supposed to be
I’m holding on
But things are slipping from me
I can’t be strong
Unless the world seems like it’s breaking
Chorus:
Someone screams
Where all my monsters are
And I am wondering
If I’m dreaming
It pierces me
And makes me feel
Where all my monsters are
I guess I’m the one who’s screaming
Verse 2:
Up in the light
Where all my monsters fear to tread
I hear a voice
That I think I can almost recognise
But every word
Has many meanings, none of which make sense
They’re used like swords
To wound our hearts and keep us separate
|

11. |

|
VERSE 1:
Don’t waste a moment
Don’t waste a day
Don’t waste an hour baby
Don’t care what other people say
Don’t give a second
To any passing fear
We can shine a new light, you and me
Onto everything
CHORUS:
Shine a new light on the day, on the day
Shine a new light over everything we say
Shine a new light through the old and broken windows
Yeah shine a new light over me
VERSE 2:
Just remember
You’re alive
Every passing moment
Proves that you’ve survived
Maybe give a second
Maybe think
Of shinning new light
over everything
CHORUS:
Shine a new light on the day, on the day
Shine a new light over everything we say
Shine a new light through the old and broken windows, Yeah shine a new light over me
Shine a new light
Shine a new light over me
Shine a new light
Shine a new light over me
Shine a new light
Shine a new light over me
Shine a new light
Shine a new light over me
