Here we go again back to the start Same old fires we can’t put out Dance round the talk, silence remains Same old Shame and disgrace Same old tears staining your cheeks Staining your cheeks Darlin don’t cry I’m back to the window Your back to the dark Back to the heartache the same as before I don’t know the answers, riddles remain The same old stuff now for days It’s easy to see when your looking in When your looking in Your not living it Darlin don’t cry Quit your whining boy Catch yourself on

Anvil 04:06
When your body gets cold Need someone to warm your bones Need someone to call you home No one I know No one I know When your home ain’t your home anymore than skin and bones Wrapped around a helpless hope I know what I know I know what I know I see your lit silver lining I see your red river ride in I see your love Your hand to hold How do you know Whether to stay or go Hide h Or fall on your sword

My love 03:36
Oh you know why I never said those words believe me Cuz they can’t be unsaid And the truth always sticks in my throat believe me More than a lie ever did And old wounds they open up Far too easy I don’t blame your mum or your dad I just hate them Oh my love it’s time to go I know how little you sow and I sow Oh my love it’s time to go Oh I know that the hurt won’t fade too easy And your blue eyes fill when your alone in the evenings Don’t sulk me out don’t shut me down cuz you need me Oh my love it’s time to go I know how little I sow and you sow Oh my love it’s time to go

Pirouette 04:10
I said all these things I know I did I wish I could take them all back again Fool in the storm my weakness Not for nothing my bitterness Oh I know that I cause you trouble now There’s a love for you that is forever now Take my hand my port in the storm I’ll lead you forever now Meet me there on the ledge I’ll watch you pirouette While everything falls Not for nothing now All love for us is gone Bitterness remains All I’ve got is the word on the page I’m bringing up gallons of blood My memory is shot Bones are getting old Heads getting weary Dreams are getting cold I fell for the lie, hook line , lie lie sinker

I remember the stone, the one that was thrown Years ago years ago I remember the sound as it hit the ground Yeah I know yeah I know We sink like a stone or soar like an arrow And in your heart I don’t know the start I’m betting on us , let that be known Yeah it’s known , yeah it’s known And for all of us , this is my home Yeah it’s home yeah it’s home We sink like a stone or soar like an arrow And in your heart I don’t know the start All I ever wanted was a place to call my own A place for all the family a place for weary bones yeah I ripped the angels wings and stuffed them in my skull For every single day that was never less than wonderful Oh I’m never gonna change from the top of my lungs I’ll scream it from the stage I’m not the only one I’m not the only one Yeah I don’t know the start. Noone nowhere never come

Terra Firma 03:04
Pick your feet up, put em down Terra firm, solid ground Forward motion like the ocean Always pushing always going One last song to save us all For every stick and every stone Every tear and broken bone And all of this in spite of you When I can’t think of a single decent word to say I’ll give you my hand There’s desolation in his smile Tears that last for miles and miles But there’s a new life for you round the corner Waiting for you Follow that light from your eyes From photos we took mesmerised There was so much energy , light and love And all of it from you When I can’t think of a single decent word to say I’ll give you my hand

Listen up, while I say, I don’t regret the family we made But I don’t want to stay , cold on the mountain in May, the mountain in May There’s no time for hiding no more There’s no time for hiding no more And we dried the river Raw And we dried the river Routines suffocate Like a noose you lovingly made Your hand cold on my neck Your hand cold on my neck There’s no time for hiding No more And we dried the river Raw And we dried the river
9.
Sun has fallen from the sky Left a trail of blood red behind my eye Let’s not pretend we were still best friends I know we let it slide I just figured you were off somewhere Living your life And the future was bright But now your gone and I don’t know why Can I make this pain all mine? But I’ll see you around won’t I ? Surfed some crowds, kissed some girls Found love on the other side of the world But it’s not enough, it’s all just stuff As I let my rope unfurl It’s not that I don’t get it , you know I do ! And not just me but others do too If you say it out loud you would find that out And we can share this pain around But I’ll see you around won’t I Look at the world outside Outside your window I’d look at the world outside But my eyes can’t seem to carry on Seem to carry on See you around Around , round I’ll see you around won’t i ?
