I can see you turning over, coming loose, Warring with the shadows in the darkness there without me, deep in Blue. I can’t hold you every time you lose control. I’m losing faith in holding out, it tears me up that you can’t let it go. Stop Falling, Stop Falling Down Stop Falling, Stop Falling Down I can hold you if holding means you’re letting go, Of this idea you’re not enough, not worthy of a life, you sink so low. I still see you turning into something new, Into something beautiful unfolding in the light you never knew. Stop Falling, Stop Falling Down Stop Falling, Stop Falling Down

I Want You 04:40
I want you, yes it’s true it’s the only thing I’m sure of, It’s not love, more like a disease, only one cure that I’m sure of Should I fight how I feel? go against my dark desire? Is it me, am I real? Do we need to feed the fire? Getting cold, burning up, preaching newer lies and nevers Underneath, I just know, that we’re in for nasty weather Dark clouds form, I close my eyes, upside down in revelation I can see, seek to find, a cure for my infatuation And I want you, from behind, inside out, every breath, your very core I won’t lie, give it up and I’m gonna give you more Losing sight, we’ll have less of getting better without you I’m sure it’s right, I want you Turn it down, I’m getting up, it's time I moved on, never knew you Break the spell, make it stop. we’re not meant to see the years through I won’t lie I’ll let you down, burn it out now, kill the passion Take me down, use me up, fulfil every satisfaction of mine Is it wrong who we are? truer lies and untold notions, Open up, take the beast, go against the common motion Fiery flames will burn us out, persecution from above Now come to me, we’ll show them all, that it’s a different kind of love And I want you, from behind, inside out, every breath, your very core I won’t lie, give it up and I’m gonna give you more Losing sight, we’ll have less of getting better without you I’m sure it’s right, I want you

Phoenix 06:40
Catch a wind before it dies away Or leave it be to try another day See it in a photograph, an honest smile; the way you laughed before You lost your way Be someone else and live as un-aware As underneath, that life was never there The dark of night reveals a door, A window; A life you sought to store away But never change Run away It's not too late To rise, High, Again Then i see you becoming, Rising High again Burning out and succumbing To rise again, one day Forget the things that played upon your mind In summer years, a youth still there inside A ray of light will shine on you, A window; a song that you once knew before You lost you way Forced into a cast to serve away To time and tide you stand and fade to grey Be the person they require, But carry on that hidden fire inside But never fade Burn away It's not too late To Rise High Again Then i see you becoming, Rising High again Burning out and succumbing To rise again, one day Hold me now, for one last time Turn around, you'll be just fine Walk away, your head held high Leave me now and Rise, High...

These Demons 07:23
I can see the end inside my mind I can see an endless stretch of time I can feel the moon in the darkness call Breaking through the cover of these walls The middle of the night I lose control And wrestle with the demons for my soul I’m hoping in the morning I’ll be saved And live again to die another day I realized today I love you but hate you the next day The reason why I think I want you but keep pushing you away You and I have many faces, faces we can’t change All said and done what can we blame, These Demons… I can see the colours running dark Close my eyes but light still burning stark This heart of darkness presses me inside The thought of love a shadow to deride I Call out in the night when darkness falls And truth appears in shadows six feet tall The breaking dawn will burn all that we’ve made And you can hide as someone else instead I realized today I love you but hate you the next day The reason why I think I want you but keep pushing you away You and I have many faces, faces we can’t change All said and done what can we blame, These Demons… All said and done what can we blame, These Demons I hate you but I want you, my hand keeps pushing you away I’d fight it but I see now, we’re not made to live our lives this way Stay blind dear, live the lie here, close your eyes to the demons everywhere

Dying Light 03:17
Dying light, makes way for the dark of night And the cold wind blows it all away I see no faces that I recognise here And I’ve found no place I want to stay The shadows dance, remembering old romance In a face I’ve never seen before We had so much then without a thought to grasp We take it all and still we ask for more Now we’re finding home In the dark places of the road And it hurt so much more not to feel I'm throwing myself into the hurricane I’d cry if I could for something real So go once more into the dark of night And realize that you’ll be facing this alone I pray you’ll find there somewhere the strength you need When you find all else has died and gone for

Run, Rabbit 04:48
Tide’s coming in now, it's time we were done Saying goodbye to another summer sun Everything changes but moves on as one, away Moving too fast, try to stay by your side Go on without me if you should decide I’ll always be here but sometimes you must hide, away I never thought I’d love someone again Burning to have you as more than a friend If you only feel you can stay with the sun Then come the night and you must run, rabbit. Run, rabbit, run After the storm comes an end to the rain You’ve been through the dark now, don’t go there again I’ll always be here if you choose to remain, with me
