 | I feel my wings have broken in your hands I feel the words unspoken inside And, they pull you under And, I will give you anything you want, oh You are all I wanted All my dreams are fallen down Crawlin' around and around and around Somebody save me Let your warm hands break right through it Somebody save me I don't care how you do it, just stay, stay C'mon, I've been waiting for you I see the world has folded in your heart I feel the waves crash down inside And, they pull me under I would give you anything you want, oh You are all I wanted All my dreams have fallen down Crawlin' around and around and around... Somebody save me Let your warm hands break right through it Somebody save me I don't care how you do it, just stay, stay C'mon, I've been waiting for you All my dreams are on the ground Crawlin' around and around and around...

 | After all that you put me through, You think I'd despise you, But in the end I wanna thank you, 'Cause you've made me that much stronger Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up 'Cause I've had enough You were there by my side, always down for the ride But your joy ride just came down in flames 'cause your greed sold me out in shame After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for you But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong 'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know Just how capable I am to pull through So I wanna say thank you 'Cause it makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter |

 | And I never wanted anything from you Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses? 'Cause here they come Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses? 'Cause here they come The dog days are over The dog days are done The horses are coming So you better run |

 | Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind Alone in the wind and the rain you left me It's getting dark darling, too dark to see And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown I know you have felt much more love than you've shown And I'm on my knees and the water creeps to my chest But plant your hope with good seeds Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds Rain down, rain down on me Look over your hills and be still The sky above us shoots to kill Rain down, rain down on me But I will hold on I will hold on hope I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones Let the dead bury the dead, they will come out in droves But take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you've made But plant your hope with good seeds Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds Rain down, rain down on me |
 | Cause I have other things to fill my time You take what is yours and I'll take mine Now let me at the truth Which will refresh my broken mind So tie me to a post and block my ears I can see widows and orphans through my tears I know my call despite my faults And despite my growing fears But I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke On the noose around your neck And I'll find strength in pain And I will change my ways I'll know my name as it's called again So come out of your cave walking on your hands And see the world hanging upside down You can understand dependence When you know the maker's land So make your siren's call And sing all you want I will not hear what you have to say Cause I need freedom now And I need to know how To live my life as it's meant to be And I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke On the noose around your neck And I'll find strength in pain And I will change my ways I'll know my name as it's called again |
   | A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat I tried to find the sound But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness, So darkness I became The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map And knew that somehow I could find my way back Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart |

 | There isn't much I haven't shared With you along the road And through it all there'd always be Tomorrow's episode Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning, the great divide Ask no questions, take no side Who's to say who's right or wrong Whose course is braver run Will ever be, ask one What is done has been done for the best Though the mist in my eyes might suggest Just a little confusion about what I'll lose But if I started over I know I would choose The same joy the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and thought me that friends never say Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning, the great divide I would choose The same joy the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and taught me that friends never say Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye |

 | This love, it is a distant star Guiding us home wherever we are This love, it is a burning sun Shining light on the things that we've done I try to speak to you everyday But each word we spoke, the wind blew away Could these walls come crumbling down? I want to feel my feet on the ground And leave behind this prison we share Step into the open air How did we let it come to this? What we just tasted we somehow still miss How will it feel when this day is done And can we keep what we've only begun? And now these walls come crumbling down And I can feel my feet on the ground Can we carry this love that we share Into the open air? Into the open air? Into the open air? This love, it is a burning sun |
 | When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach And the bullets catch in her teeth Life goes on It gets so heavy The wheel breaks the butterfly Every tear, a waterfall In the night, the stormy night She closed her eyes In the night, the stormy night Away she'd fly. And dreamed of para- para- paradise Para- para- paradise Para- para- paradise Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh She dreamed of para- para- paradise Para- para- paradise Para- para- paradise Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh. La la la La La la la So lying underneath those stormy skies. She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. I know the sun must set to rise. |
 | If you love somebody Better tell them while they’re here ’cause They just may run away from you You’ll never know what went well Then again it just depends on How long of time is left for you I’ve had the highest mountains I’ve had the deepest rivers You can have it all but life keeps moving Now take it in but don’t look down ‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay I’m on top of the world, ‘ay Waiting on this for a while now Paying my dues to the dirt I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay Take it with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child I’m on top of the world. I’ve tried to cut these corners Try to take the easy way out I kept on falling short of something I coulda gave up then but Then again I couldn’t have ’cause I’ve traveled all this way for something Now take it in but don’t look down |

 | I’m bleeding out So if the last thing that I do Is to bring you down I’ll bleed out for you So I bare my skin And I count my sins And I close my eyes And I take it in And I’m bleeding out I’m bleeding out for you (for you) When the day has come That I’ve lost my way around And the seasons stop and hide beneath the ground When the sky turns gray And everything is screaming I will reach inside Just to find my heart is beating You tell me to hold on Oh you tell me to hold on But innocence is gone And what was right is wrong ‘Cause I’m bleeding out So if the last thing that I do Is to bring you down I’ll bleed out for you So I bare my skin And I count my sins And I close my eyes And I take it in And I’m bleeding out I’m bleeding out for you (for you) |
 | I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend... Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you Because I knew you I have been changed for good |
 | Here I go again Another leap of faith I close my eyes and wait to fall I see a future in which I will soon become The only truth you know at all You wanna know what I'm thinking I think about back then Back when we built something new The world was ours to conquer And we were not afraid to lose ourselves Somewhere inside this, you changed And I could never follow you that way I miss you madly and it's raining on the coast I'm supposed to say "this was your loss", and "I'm fine" I stare for hours at these numbers in my hand But ringing you would mend your heart, and break mine You wanna know what I'm thinking I think about back then Back when we built something new The world was ours to conquer And we were not afraid to lose ourselves Somewhere inside this, you changed And I could never follow you that way (Sometimes I dream) We laugh 'til we cry (With smoke in our eyes) Just like old times Never again That was back then |
 | And of these cut-throat busted sunsets, these cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary If through my cracked and dusted dime-store lips I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me? Lay your blouse across the chair, Let fall the flowers from your hair And kiss me with that country mouth so plain. Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves To me it sounds like they're applauding us, The quiet love we've made. Will I always feel this way So empty, so estranged? Well, I looked my demons in the eyes laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me. You see, I've been to hell and back so many times, I must admit you kind of bore me." There's a lot of things that can kill a man There's a lot of ways to die Yes, and some already dead that walk beside me There's a lot of things I don't understand Why so many people lie Well, it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fires inside me Will I always feel this way So empty, so estranged? |

 | You and I were two old and tortured souls Repaired by a love of broken things In a life, just some bodies growing old No fear of the end, of anything We're just ordinary people, you and me Time will turn us into statues, eventually We got by, though we never needed much A sliver of hope, no diamond rings We got high, it was heaven it was hell Flying over them, with broken wings We're just ordinary people, you and me Time will turn us into statues, eventually Oh, just two ordinary people, you and me Time will turn us into statues, eventually Our bones forever in stone Monuments of life To dust, as everything must We fade away in time, oh We're just ordinary people, you and me Time will turn us into statues, eventually Oh, just two ordinary people, you and me Oh, time will turn us into statues, eventually |
 | Oh, Lord, where are you? Do not forget me here I cry in silence Can you not see my tears? When all have left me And hope has disappeared You'll find me here And when I had to crawl Well, you crawl too I stumble and I fall Carry me through The wonder of it all is you See me through When everything I was is lost I have forgot but you have not When I am lost, you have not lost me When everything I was is lost I have forgot but you have not When I am lost, you have not lost me, you have not lost me |
 | If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand Hope you find out what you are; already know what I am And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again You can tell me how vile I already know that I am I'll grow old, start acting my age It'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate A crown of gold, a heart that's harder than stone And it hurts to hold on, but it's missed when it's gone Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not I'm glad that you can forgive, only hoping as time goes, you can forget If it makes you less sad, I'll move out of this state You can keep to yourself, I'll keep out of your way And if it makes you less sad, I'll take your pictures all down Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out It's cold as a tomb, and it's dark in your room When I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds So call it quits, or get a grip You say you wanted a solution; you just wanted to be missed Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not I'm glad that you can forgive, only hoping as time goes, you can forget So you can forget, you can forget You are calm and reposed Let your beauty unfold Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones Spring keeps you ever close You are second-hand smoke You are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins Holding on to yourself the best you can You are the smell before rain You are the blood in my veins |
 | Through my sleepless days I've found, That in my dreamless sleep I'm bound, To one night here the sound, of you calling, Do not stumble through tonight, Have no fear of falling. And if nobody got lost, And if no-one paid the cost, The price of this you may summise, is forever after, You won't stumble through tonight drowning in their laughter. You won't stumble through tonight drowning in their laughter. From these moments, we awake, Our heads clear of the mistakes, How we never hit the breaks, or felt it stalling, Just don't stumble through tonight, Have no fear of falling. No don't stumble through tonight, Have no fear of falling. |
 | Road map is a bitter pill Scene stinks of a double deal A good front like the devil will Your eyes on the prize Come clean like you said you would Make peace like i know you could Hero's don't do any good With tears in their eyes Fight the good fight Maintain the trend Just look me in the eyes and say The world's not gonna end Take stock in a master plan Place bets on an empty hand Empire has a leg to stand Holy roman style A poison from a holy grail Blind faith doesn't make a sale Landmines on a righteous trail March rank and file Unpatriotic Friend stabbing friend You'll look me in the eyes And say the worlds not gonna end Just look me in the eyes And say the worlds not gonna end Will you save us? Will you save us? |
 | If you can't take the weather You can take my sweater With the loose threads. I know that I'm in danger Of unravelling, But believe me, I'm fine with it Because I'd rather fall apart Than hold it all together. So I'm ready now To let go. Broken words Come from healing hearts. Stitch me up, I'm ready to talk. You'd better hit the deck. I'm ready to talk. So leave the old sayings to the old folks With both feet planted in the past. Roots run deep and Broken words come from healing jaws. We'll keep reaching until the last leaf falls. I'm ready now To move on. Broken words Come from healing hearts. Stitch me up, I'm ready to talk. You'd better hit the deck. I'm ready to talk. If you can't take the weather You can take my sweater With the loose threads. |

 | Hello, hello Anybody out there? Cause I don't hear a sound Alone, alone I don't really know where the world is but I miss it now I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name Like a fool at the top of my lungs Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright But it's never enough Cause my echo, echo Is the only voice coming back My shadow, shadow Is the only friend that I have Listen, listen I would take a whisper if that's all you had to give But it isn't, isn't You could come and save me and try to chase the crazy right out of my head I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name Like a fool at the top of my lungs Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright But it's never enough Cause my echo, echo Is the only voice coming back My shadow, shadow Is the only friend that I have I don't wanna be down and I just wanna feel alive and Get to see your face again |
 | That's it, it's split - it won't recover Just frame the halves and call them brothers Find their fathers and their mothers If you remember who they are Over and over they call us their friends Can't we find something else to pretend? Like nobody's won and we're safe at the end In the darkness the film machine's spinning So let's leave it on We'll be out in the street before anyone knows that we're gone That's it, it's split, it can't recover Just frame the halves and call them a whole And chip at the bricks and fill up your pockets With the pieces of the wall that you stole The hunt is on, everyone's chasing Everyone's chasing a shot A shot rings out, nobody wants it Nobody wants it to stop That's it, it's split, it won't recover Just frame the halves and call them brothers Find your fathers and your mothers If you remember who they are If you remember, if you remember, if you remember who they are |
 | Last night I had a dream we were inseparably entwined Like a piece of rope made out of two pieces of vine Held together, holding each other with no one else in mind Like 2 atoms in a molecule inseparably combined But then I woke from the dream to realise I was alone A tragic event I must admit but let's not be overblown I'm not trying to write a love song just a sad, pathetic moan Maybe I just need a change, maybe I just need a new cologne So now I look at love like being stabbed in the heart You torture each other from day to day and then one day you part Most of the time it's misery but there's some joy at the start Oh for that I'd say it's worth it, just use a blade that's short and sharp on me I mean if love is just a game then how come it's no fun If love is just a game how come I've never won I guess maybe it's possible I might be playing it wrong And that's why every time I roll the dice I always come undone |
 | The perfect words never crossed my mind, Cause there was nothin' in there but you. I felt every ounce of me screaming out, But the sound was trapped deep in me. All I wanted just sped right past me, While I was rooted fast to the earth, I could be stuck here for a thousand years, Without your arms to drag me out. There you are standing right in front of me There you are standing right in front of me All this fear falls away to leave me naked, Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety. No, I won't wait forever No, I won't wait forever In the confusion and the aftermath, You are my signal fire. The only resolution and the only joy, Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes. There you are standing right in front of me There you are standing right in front of me All this fear falls away to leave me naked, Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety. |
