If these walls could talk
What would they say, of me?
I'm dazed and confused
Just saving face, you see?
The blade cuts deep into my soul, again
I can take it I will stand
Self-control slipping through my hands
I can feel it in my bones
I can tame this on my own
I can feel it in my mind, yeah, yeah
I feel the rage hidden deep inside
I keep it caged for another time
Darkness surrounds me,
I can't see no lights
Shadows in hallways,
My demons brought to life
The Armageddon for my mind, brings fear
I'm cast away I'll make my stand
I'm asking God for a better plan
I can feel it in my bones
I can't tame this on my own
I can feel it in my mind, yeah, yeah
I keep the rage boiling deep inside
I keep it caged, running out of time
I can't hold on, I need someone
To help me fight the dark and find the light
You reach your hand out, won't let me fall down
Pull me back again and hold me tight,
I can feel it in my bones,
Your love is guiding my way home
I can feel you in my mind
I feel the love hidden deep inside
Unlock the cage and I let it shine
Unlock the cage and I let it shine

Grace's Song

Dark Sky on the horizon
Through a dusty windowpane
I see the mountains in the distance, yeah
They've got me missing you again
There’s a feeling growing deeper
It's getting harder to deny
My defences getting weaker, babe
With every minute passing by
But I'm far from you and lonely,
As the rain is coming down
This old heart is breaking slowly
Wishing you I was right there with you now
All the five-hour conversations
Still can't keep the pain at bay
And all the miles that fall between us, babe
They feel further every day
Cos I’m imagining your warm skin, darlin'
It's bathed in the early morning light
As the dawn creeps through my windowpane
I’m missing you here by my side
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
As the saying often goes
As our love grows ever stronger
I just want to hold you close
Until the last day of forever
I will keep you safe from harm
We were meant to be together
I just need you in my arms
But you're far away and lonely,
As the rain is pouring down
Your kind heart is breaking slowly
Wishing I was right there with you now
I would swim across the ocean
I would walk a million miles
I would climb the highest mountains, babe
Just to see your pretty smile
I hope this love will last a lifetime,
As nothing ever will compare
I pray the days apart pass quickly
And we can be together, there
But your far away and lonely,
As the rain is coming down
This old heart is breaking slowly
Wishing I was right there with you now
Right there with you now
I need you with me now

Empty Space
04:33

There's an open wound,
In my heart
Where you tore me, apart
There's an empty space,
Where you lay
Right beside me
Yeah, you took it away
You took away everything
I had nothing to say
Now you mess with my mind
Still after all this time
I've got nowhere to go
Through the open door,
I was led
I let my heart rule, my head
In another's arms,
There you lay
Just to spite me
Yeah, you threw me away
You threw away everything
You had so much to say
You still play with my mind
Now after all this time
You want somewhere to go
Misdeeds of the past can’t be changed
With feelings left hurt and betrayed
This love should have stood for the ages
Instead, it lies dead and decayed
It needs somewhere to go
There's a scar that's formed,
Around my heart
It protects me, from harm
My new lover sleeps,
Where you lay
Here beside me
She won't throw it away
She holds on with everything
She knows just what to say
Now you're free from my mind,
I think back to all those times,
I should've just walked away.

Lies
05:18
|
|||
|
Another night of silence
Of staring at your phone
The conversation’s all but dead
I feel like I'm alone
You’ve barely said a word in days
That alone speaks tomes
Your cards held firmly at your chest
There's a coldness in your tone
The lies that come between us
Can’t take it anymore
You’re crying in your sleep again
And I'm heading out the door
The fault is not decided
As neither of us try
We're far too scared of finding out
The truth that lies inside
The truth that lies inside
There's no communication
I've got secrets of my own
The walls are closing in now darlin'
In this unhappy home
Could I survive the wreckage baby
If I open up my soul
Or are we far too damaged?
Should we both just let it go
The lies that come between us
Can’t take it anymore
I'm screaming in my sleep again
And you're sleeping on the floor
The fault is not decided
Cos neither of us try
We're far too scared of finding out
The truth that lies inside
The truth that lies inside
All this cloak and dagger
The secrets and the lies (secrets and the lies)
In this misdirection and the misconceptions
The spark of love has died
Do we clean the slate
And try to reconcile (try to reconcile)
Or are we too far down the road
With our love stuck in exile
The lies that come between us
Can’t take it anymore
I'm tired of losing sleep again
As you pull me back for more
The fault is not decided
Cos neither of us try
We're far too scared of finding out
The truth that lies inside
The truth that lies inside

I Know

I know
That it’s time
That I let my feelings go
She said
As she walked to the door
I know
You’ll be back here again
In the end
I said
As she turned round to go
She is the warmth
And the light of my life
Now she’s gone
So cold, so cold
But I wait
For the dark to turn bright
Once again
And so
And so
She sits
With her head in her hands
On the chair
So low
And she feels all alone
She knows
That the grass isn't greener over there
She says
As she cries on the phone
She is holding
My heart in her hands
Once again
I know
I know
I should leave
I should just let her go
But I won't
I know
I know
So what do I do now
I keep holding out
I’m hoping that something will change, and she'll stay
This time I hope
My heart won't get broke
Because I just can’t take this again
This I know
I know
I know
We lay
Face to face
She feels safe here in my arms
She's home,
Maybe this time she'll stay
So I wait,
Til the next time she walks through the door
And I'll break,
And we'll go round again
My fate
Is forever entwined
In her charm
I'm sold
I'm sold
Her love
Is the habit I can’t
Seem to break
I know
I know

Breaking Free
04:51
|

|
I hide my emotions
I keep them buried beneath the surface
I keep them locked away
So you can’t use them to make me feel worthless
You’re suffocating me
Feel like I’m drowning and I’m breathless
You’re dominating me
I’m under your thumb and getting restless
But a change is gonna come
Gonna see you come undone, yeah
Oh a change is gonna come
One day you'll see
I’m breaking free
I’m breaking free
Your bitterness bites
Your words have an edge and they cut like a knife
I have to face up to my fear
I know I can’t stay,
I’ve gotta get out of here
But a change is gonna come (oh a change is gonna come)
Gonna see you come undone, yeah
Oh a change is gonna come
One day you'll see
I’m breaking free
Cause in my mind I’m flying through blue skies
The ghost of you lay far behind
Gotta take my chance
From under your thumb I will climb
It’s clear to see
Cos I’m breaking free
I’m breaking free
I’m breaking free
I’m breaking free
I hide my emotions
As they bury you beneath the surface

Paper Aeroplanes
06:38

Thoughts like paper aeroplanes
Are flying through my mind,
Messing with my memories
Like the creases of kindness
In the corners of your eyes,
Each time you smile at me
The sunrise over the horizon breaks
My concentration
Waves crash over the shore as I search
In desperation
I went searching for you
To search for the love you've awoken
Searching for me
I search to find out I'm still broken
The words to say how I feel
And verbalise my soul
Have all but deserted me (try to make up for the damage I’ve done)
Emotions held deep inside
No longer have control
Quickly pour out of me (can you forgive me and let me atone)
The longing of each waking moment,
Sweet, anticipation
The distance I've travelled so far as I search
In desperation
Mistakes that I made,
The regret for the debts I can't pay
Don't tell me there's no turning back
It's forgiveness I ask
I will travel the world 'til the end
Won't you let me back in
Can't we bury the past and begin, again?
Thoughts like paper aeroplanes
Are flying through my mind
Fleeting distant memories (am I forgiven for all that I’ve done)
Forgiven with kindness
The deceptions and the lies
With tired eyes you smile at me (I wake to your smile; a new day has begun)
A new day has dawned from those shadows
Through Grace not obligation (la, la, la, la, la)
The storms we have weathered so far give our love
its validation (la di da, la di da, la di di da, la)
I went searching for you, (searching for you)
To win back the love I had stolen
Searching for me (searching for me)
I searched to repair what was broken
