Someone

Verse 1
Running round in circles I learned to play a game
Where rules are nonexistent and the players are the same
And this is where I met someone as different as can be
who ran around against the crowd agreeing to disagree
Verse 2
This someone made it clear to me that everything we do
is based upon a disregarded universal truth
And even though we seem to have it all under control
There’s always something else that’s eating at your soul
Chorus
I hate how it is
I hate how we all forget to live
I hate how we don’t move on
I hate how we wait for the other to be gone
I hate how I would do the same
I hate how I know there was nothing to gain
but alas I am sure
that I don’t want to anymore
Verse 3
Maybe its a fact that none of us know what to do
Or maybe we don’t care enough to find out what is true
then someone walks into our lives and changes how we see
the shooting starts and airplanes are brighter suddenly
Chorus
I hate how it is
I hate how we all forget to live
I hate how we don’t move on
I hate how we wait for the other to be gone
I hate how I would do the same
I hate how I know there was nothing to gain
but alas I am sure
that I don’t want to anymore

Forgiveness
03:18
|
|

Verse 1
We follow the shadows the shadows that walk through our homes
We look through the windows the windows with scars on their bones
Chorus
And we fall far from forgiveness
When the tables have turned the roof that we burned was our own
Verse 2
We look for the answers woven in the sheets that we lay
We search for the memories the memories that haunt all our days
Chorus
And we fall far from forgiveness
When the fire goes down the ashes will burn the decay
Bridge (x2)
Can you see the ghost that’s sleeping on your side of the bed?
Can you feel the ghost that’s breathing for you in your head?
Verse 3
Lock all the doors and the corpse in the closet again
Lock all the boxes of pictures and whispers and sin
Chorus
And we fall far from forgiveness
When the feelings are lost the flames that we cross are within

After All
03:54
|
|||
I had almost passed the point of no return I lost my senses on the road back home to you
I had almost passed the torch of my defences to the person that I almost thought I knew
Now I seem to be following a never ending stream
Now I seem to be letting go of every little dream
I had with you guess I didn’t have a clue
that I had with you something that was never true
After all, after all
after all you watched me fall
after all, after all
this time […] I wasted on you
I had fallen far below your expectations that were higher than sky but not so blue
I had fallen from our cloud nine reservations when I found that you found somebody new
Now I seem to be following a never ending stream
Now I seem to be letting go of every little dream
I had with you guess I didn’t have a clue
that I had with you something that was never true
After all, after all
after all you watched me fall
after all, after all
This time
After all, after all
after all you watched me fall
after all, after all
this time […] I wasted on you

Mountains
03:54
|
|||
Verse 1
how’s it going over there
is there really better air
on the other side of the mountains like you said
Verse 2
does the sunset bring you fear
that the darkness is so near
on the other side of the mountains like you said
Chorus
but the sky is grey
and I don’t believe a word you say
Verse 2
Is this everything you want
to sit and stare and point and taunt
from the other side of the mountains like you said
Refrain
but the sky is grey
and I don’t believe a single word you say
Bridge
I will just keep falling with the rain
even though its driving me insane
I will keep on following the storm
even though it doesn’t keep me nearly quite as warm
as you used to do
you used to do
Chorus
but the sky is grey
and I don’t believe a word you say

Home
03:48
|
|||
Verse 1
home home home where are you
I lost you down the river years ago
home home home how are you
I should’ve called you earlier I know
Chorus
but remember that we stare at the same dark sky each night
and remember that we share all the same bright stars in sight
forgive me for I let you down when you let down your guard
I bid you farewell and regards
Verse 2
home home home I need you
I never needed anyone before
home home home I miss you
I miss you when the nights aren’t warm
Chorus
but I remember that we stare at the same dark sky each night
and I remember that we share all the same bright stars in sight
forgive me for I let you down when you let down your guard
I bid you farewell and regards
Bridge
I can’t expect an answer
I can’t expect you’ll understand
but I’ve travelled far and wide
just to be here by your side
to take me home, home
Verse 3
home home home I see you
setting shop up on a brand new shore
Home home home I found you
and with that I could never ask for more
Chorus
for I remember that we stare at the same dark sky each night
an I remember that we share all the same bright stars in sight
forgive me for I let you down when you let down your guard
I bid you farewell and regards
I bid you farewell and regards
