I can't escape this now
unless you can now
show me how

Tear Me Up
05:31
|
|||
|
Castaway, forlorn, adrift for life
Abandoned for so long
Overwhelmed by feelings long gone
Tearing down my walls
Carried by the fateful tides
Taken back where meaning lies
Torn apart by kindest souls
Searching for a hold to hang on
All I wished for in the rain
All my hopes
Were lost and found
Don’t tear me up
Don’t tear me up
Don’t tear me up
Never meant to cause pain to you
Precious time runs through my hands
Yet you drag me down while I'm drowning out
Wish I was both here and there
All I wished for in the rain
All my hopes
Were lost and found
Don’t tear me up
Don’t tear me up
Don’t tear me up
Just tell me if you need me
If there’s nothing left for me
All I wished for in the rain
All my hopes
Were lost and found
Don’t tear me up
Don’t tear me up
Don’t tear me up

No Man's Land
05:47
|
|||
|
Drifting back like an anchor in the sand
And the flight of your days is still wasted in aband
No man's land, only home you’ve ever had
And you wonder just when will your life begin
Heart still holding all you knew
Searching for what is not there for you
Wandering, looking for sign, to find out
If this is all there is to life
Make believe only to find the day
You don't even know if you're alive
In your
Heart still holding all you knew
Searching for what is not there for you

Sky of Dreaming
07:34
|
|||
|
A wish to stay, you float away
The words we held above the waterline
A memory wakes but won't remain
To break the chain of all this needing
The empty sea, in harmony
The grey alone will take these thoughts away
No light today, the sun astray
I'm falling off the sky of dreaming
I’m tired of lies, I’m tired of people,
I’m tired of smoke, I’m tired of mirrors
Now all the rain, so cold today
My memory lanes are washed away
A masquerade beneath the waves
You turned away, from my decay
Now all the colours will fade away
I’m tired of lies, I’m tired of people,
I’m tired of smoke, I’m tired of mirrors

Promise
03:38

Remember all the words I said?
The only lines I ever meant
I vowed to never let me go
But foreign dreams take their toll
All I wished to be
All that I meant to be
The promise I made I'll try to keep
But fear that I can’t hold on
I can’t ask you for forgiveness
I only hope you understand
You didn’t lose your grip, it was me who let go
Now I truly am no more
The words that I said still shelter me
But holding me up, no more
The promise I made I tried to keep

Lost in the moonlight alone
Away from the eden of home
You brought light to lives' weary grove
Heal all you can to thaw
The winter you hide inside
Search for a haven to find
A reason to wake alive
You’ll open your wings, shelter all
To feel whole inside bleeding heart
And leave hope, in kindness hiding truth
Of you
lie awake while
stars beneath are dying
behind smile you’re hiding
Anything to live in that smile
You’ll open your wings, shelter all
To feel whole inside bleeding heart
And leave hope, in kindness hiding truth
Of you

Kindred souls
Felt like we had known
A life ago untold
Yearning hearts
Across our stars
A longing gaze apart
Always doubt
The truth so loud
Afraid to let them out
Countless times
In dreamer’s mind
The hopeful stars align
Keep me holding on
When this life is gone
Lost in breaking ties
Please don’t pass me by
Cold burn inside,
Like cord untwined,
Your hope in mine
Deep half light moon inside
If all you lied is true
Queen of May
I wish you’d take
Away the war I wage
Hold these tears
I nursed in fear
Dissolved when you appeared
Siren’s call
To break our walls
The ones we built so tall
All we own
To save our soul
Is chance of love we hold
Keep me holding on
When this life is gone
Lost in breaking ties
Please don’t pass me by
Cinders alive
Two souls in mine
Our hopes entwined
But I’m forlorn if all you hide
inside your eyes is true
Why does youth come undone
All these years so fleeting
Grasp for one touch in this life
Make it all worthwhile again
Let your stars align and see
For one moment all is right
Why does faith come undone
All these vows we’ve broken
Hold on to love across these stars
Keep it safe inside our hearts
All we have, to be of love
The light inside when you are gone

Now You're Just a Memory
09:22
|
|||
|
Awaiting for the morning
The solace in your arms I found to rest
You found me in the cold
And gave me a window to a life I never had
But I never told you all that you mean to me
And I never gave you all that I wished to give
Only emptiness to hold me,
still longing for a time that failed to last
The darkness inside falling,
I wish the sun would set inside my eyes
But I never showed you how truly I care
And I never told you how sorry I am
Now you’re just a memory
Now you’re just a memory (and I won’t miss you anymore)
Now you’re just a memory and you can’t hurt me anymore
Now you’re just a memory and I won’t miss you anymore
Now you’re just a memory and I won’t
Now you’re just a memory
