The Tide That Never Returns

There must be something, about this place in time.
She told me about her past, and secrets.
You know I'll stay here, always by your side.
Just as long, as we have nothing left to hide.
Bliss may be ignorance, yet truth can kill.
I will wander here aimlessly if I have to.
I don't care.
They may have captured the beauty in this.
They may have bled it out and hung it out to dry.
Yet this truth, somehow feels wrong.
So what if ignorance is bliss?
They always said, curiousity killed the cat.
I don't care.
No, not anymore.
The fog may not be lifted.
Yet I can still see, through to dark endevour.
There must be something, about this place in time.
She told me about her past, and secrets.
I wish she hadn't said those words.
Afterall.
Ignorance is bliss.

Until the Day

I take these things in life,
Lining them side by side,
until all reality is blurred.
You twist inside,
the comfort you wish to hide,
from this world so old, so cruel.

Until the day our lives cave in,
four walls broken down,
forgotten from within

YOU CANNOT SEE THOSE LIES,
WHICH THREATEN YOUR DISGUISE.
YOU CAN NO LONGER HIDE FROM THE WORLD,
WHEN YOUR WORLD,
IS CRUMBLING TO YOUR FEET.

Face down, running away from your shadow,
through you fall and never get away.
The stars, they look so pretty tonight.
What a shame that they'll soon have to die,
when the world falls down.

And until the day our lives cave in,
I am yours.

AND EVEN WHEN THE LIES,
UNCOVER YOUR DISGUISE,
THERES NO LONGER A REASON TO HIDE FROM THE WORLD,
AS ITS CRUMBLING TO YOUR FEET.

YOU CANNOT SEE THOSE LIES,
WHICH THREATEN YOUR DISGUISE.
YOU CAN NO LONGER HIDE FROM THE WORLD,
WHEN YOUR WORLD,
IS CRUMBLING TO YOUR FEET.

I am yours.
Under these stars that will shine forever.
I am yours.

Our Dying Day

Drifting away in blissful unknown.
And now theres no escape.
From this crazy thing called love.
That seems to follow me,
like a bird to the scarecrow.
Never gonna let me go.

YET HERE I AM IN YOUR ARMS,
CRYING AWAY ALL THESE PROMISES AND HURT.
LONGING FOR THE DAY WE CAN SEE,
THE IRONY UNDERLYING OUR DREAMS.
TO HAVE SAID I LOVE YOU.
WOULD HAVE BEEN A LIE.
INSTEAD I GIVE YOU MY HEART.
AND PROMISE TO BE HERE BY YOUR SIDE.
FOR NOW UNTIL OUR DYING DAY.

Is there something you forget to tell?
A break in your conscience,
the very thing you thought you'd sell.
Yet even love cannot conquer all,
like in fairytales and the silver screen.
All we have is now.
It is all we know.
It is all we are.

YET HERE I AM IN YOUR ARMS,
CRYING AWAY ALL THESE PROMISES AND HURT.
LONGING FOR THE DAY WE CAN SEE,
THE IRONY UNDERLYING OUR DREAMS.
TO HAVE SAID I LOVE YOU.
WOULD HAVE BEEN A LIE.
INSTEAD I GIVE YOU MY HEART.
AND PROMISE TO BE HERE BY YOUR SIDE.
FOR NOW UNTIL OUR DYING DAY.

Redemption

Lets just say,
for redemption's sake.
That you and I could last.
Would you try to stop its path?
Let us just burn away?
Or is there something in that heart of yours,
that yearns for our love tonight?

Let's just say,
for redemption's sake.
This love of ours will last.
Would you give into its path?
Or let us just fade away?
I know there is something in that heart of yours,
that yearns for our love tonight.

So lets just say,
for redemption's sake.
That you and I are one.

This is How it Feels to Die

Now there's no light.
Now right paths to fix this mess.
I was never me, hidden behind a facade.
Of loneliness and treachery.

Yet this distance between us is endless.
I fear it is too far gone.
You are no longer in my reach,
and now my chest, it aches.
I can no longer see the light in your eyes,
now way to lead me home.
No way to find my own.
I've lost myself, in this game we played.
I lost this time, yet never again.
I will win, if its the last thing I do.

I wander around this place,
looking for a helping face.
All I find in hopeless songs,
and news of war and death.
This world has truly gone mad,
I fear I am lost in it.

It's all your fault.

Lies (I Hope)

Beneath these moonlit skies,
I hope to find,
all this magic, hidden in the words.
We drift here,
waiting to find a flicker of hope.
I hope to find,
people in these empty streets,
away from all this entropy and lies.
I hope,
I can find my way.
I hope,
That everything will be okay.

True

I was losing myself to the sound,
broken down and losing ground.
That I covered, in these past few days.
When we were friends, without a care in the world.

Now you've come undone,
and I don't know how to go,
when all I see is your face.
Staring out into the deep blue sky,
free of promises we once made.

IT FEELS LIKE WERE SINKING TO THE BOTTOM.
THE SUN HAS GONE DOWN ON THIS LOVE.
I FEAR WE'VE BEEN FORGOTTEN,
SO JUST KEEP SINGING.
UNTIL WE'VE FINALLY SUNK DEEP ENOUGH TO HIDE.

Tomorrow somehow finds us, yet again.
I cannot pretend, I cannot forget.
And I know that your drowning,
yet my legs won't start running.
I fear this may be the last time, I ever see your face.
I hope to God, we can make it,
somehow.

IT FEELS LIKE WERE SINKING TO THE BOTTOM.
THE SUN HAS GONE DOWN ON THIS LOVE.
I FEAR WE'VE BEEN FORGOTTEN,
SO JUST KEEP SINGING.
UNTIL WE'VE FINALLY SUNK DEEP ENOUGH TO HIDE.

Murmur

Is there something you want to say?
I feel you breathing on my neck.
Your beautiful, as beautiful can be.
Just to hear you murmur.
Just to hear you breathe.

JUST TO HEAR YOU BREATHE.
JUST TO HEAR YOU MURMUR.

I'm haunted by your loving touch.
Nothing in the world really matters.
Because all I see is you,
its all I want to believe.

JUST TO HEAR YOU BREATHE.
JUST TO HEAR YOU MURMUR.

I feel lost in our embrace.
Just one kiss and I'm lost in your eyes.
At least for that moment,
I can see forever.
Didn't I tell you,
how much you mean.
I'm sorry now, its been far too long.
I should have told you then,
So just listen to my song.

I will always be by your side.
Through the good and bad,
the loneliest depths are to long to hide.
Just to hear you murmur.
Just to hear you breathe.

JUST TO HEAR YOU BREATHE.
JUST TO HEAR YOU MURMUR.

As long as I have that.
I'm alive.
