forgotten faces
05:00

in your world of forgotten faces
love is a sign in a dark hour
in the first flush of morning
the first kiss in the last second
in this storm that’s been here all along
in the first light of the last day
there is a shadow
on my face
from yesterday
all around me
darkness seems so real
it’s not easy
to see a better way
in your face there's an angel laughing
i feel it all over your body
in your smile there's an angel speaking
it's so natural to say
in you there are church bells
in your kiss i hear a song
we came to find life
we came to find out
what it is to live
we came to feel it
we came to give it away
if you're looking for heaven
then carry on
but if you’re headed down
i will go with you

the perfect heart
04:24
|
|||
the pain begins
it fills me with despair
the mask falls off
the blood it burns
to tear apart
the perfect heart
i could not rest
in this world
there was nobody there
there was nobody here
painting in the fire
my words fell into the fade
death from the first kiss
the scar was never the same
they wore it in their anger
their joy became a memory
as the madness comes
and the sadness descends
i fell into the spell unbroken
and I sang these words
as you break the spell
and then steal her away
when my face is too long
in saying goodbye
i find myself alone
laughing on the wind i've seen
painting in the fire
my words fell into the fade
death from the first kiss
the scar was never the same
they wore it in their anger
their joy became a memory
as the madness comes
and the sadness descends
all the innocence
in the face of rising
it had its day
until it fell on our eyes
i stood beneath stars
the moon was thrown down from the skies
there was fear everywhere
all of it was closing in
you just walked out the door
painting in the fire
my words fell into the fade
death from the first kiss
the scar was never the same
they wore it in their anger
their joy became a memory
as the madness comes
and the sadness descends

black coat
04:37
|
|||
i never wanted to be
the king of twilight lies
the sign on the wall hung flashing
the spark that set the fire off
it didn't touch the mark
as they pulled away i knew
at that point there was a burning inside
that icy black coat of regret
on an unfurled face
waiting there on the ledge
it was lying there… lying there
and then the sign
i met her at the back of the day
just a couple of miles away
she had a crack in her heart
but no cup where she’d been
so i took my time
didn't waste any more
through just a rusty door
i knew she'd be there waiting
and there she was all alone
as she pictured me down the stars
she whispered this beside me
love is waiting here for you
i moved into slow motion
the girl that was there by my side
as the plane flew i failed to fly
i've since seen that silent remember
stretching the hand of desire
inheritors chained… forgotten
during every step of the way
inner hits and bruises break
every scar has its own fall
they're so close
i met her at the back of the day
just a couple of miles away
she had a crack in her heart
but no cup was where she’d been
so i took my time
didn't waste any more
through a rusty door
i knew she'd be there waiting
and there she was all alone
there she was all alone

tip of my tongue
05:23
|
|||
i keep on falling through clouds
and i still can't pull myself away
from this silent playground
so let's just keep it between us
as we try to get out of this hole
one thing i want to thank you for
and if they ask me i shall
that's all they ask me
cause i made this journey without exception
they'll never find me
until one day my color came along
my life was never really the same
i sat by the ocean waiting
tied up in a golden ring
a tearing of those around me
with silent chills
i saw the sunrise
it started dim in darkness
it rained down upon the cobwebs
the faces all rusted away
i gazed at my tomorrow
and at its end the tears
i lost that simple sign
when i touch your smile
you left me on my feet again
in the night alone
i miss the taste of you on my tongue
on the tip of my tongue
choking on the heartbreak
the vulnerable kind
what do you do when love has gone
i can feel you falling through the sky
i thank you for the dark seed
i’ve got nothing left
in this world where crazy people go
we could not see
i sat by the ocean waiting
tied up in a golden ring
a tearing of those around me
with silent chills
i saw the sunrise
it started dim in darkness
it rained down upon the cobwebs
the faces all rusted away
i gazed at my tomorrow
and at its end the tears
i sat by the ocean waiting
tied up in a golden ring
a tearing of those around me
with silent chills
the faces all rusted away

the cloth of one girl
03:47
|
|||
she needs no permission
she has her own downfall
she wants to get somewhere
but she already has it all
what she wants is innocence
or so the children say
she has her daydreams
with her words and melody
her haunted makeup
i saw her eyes like an open sky
a never ending tale
the ocean takes me down
starting from my sleep
i saw her walking
in a stormy sea
she was reaching for
a shooting star
and every breath she needed
was answered by an angel
her smile formed a miracle
the one i could speak to
the aches i had
then comes the rain
her heart bled underneath
the cloth of one girl
stumbling silent
as madness rained on me again
i saw her eyes like an open sky
a never ending tale
the ocean takes me down
starting from my sleep

in this lonely place
05:32
|
|||
there’s the sound of laughter
in its silence in this lonely place
i came for the dancing
but the world has come undone
this you see here today
is not what it used to be
the pain of lies again
it’s all too much to bear
too much to take any more
the loneliness of the last time
when you think
of something beautiful
you fill that place with loneliness
when you think of nothing else
you turn away
you fell in love with yesterday
heaven looked down on earth In disguise
i was nowhere
i was all alone
i remembered a secret
there's a silence that comes
as I stood in the station
there were people passing by
I looked the other way
but they just kept on talking
there was something wrong
i just stopped to stare at them
i was laughing out loud
but she kept walking away
it took her breath away
before I knew what she had found
i felt a light in my mind
now i find myself on my feet again
when i move inside
there's a person screaming out
the sun is in my eyes again
the clouds have stopped moving
when you think
of something beautiful
you fill that place with loneliness
when you think of nothing else
you turn away
you fell in love with a yesterday
heaven looked down on earth In disguise
i was nowhere
i was all alone
i remembered a secret
there's a silence that comes

my happy ending
04:48
|
|||
i will paint your face upon my window
i’ll be glad when it shines
you are so very dear
you are all and everything to me
i will paint your face upon my gown
i will smile until the morning
i’ve seen through your eyes
just enough to make me cry
when the rain falls all around
please don't wake me
i can't help myself
i’m falling apart
any broken smile starts a tear
so much for my happy ending
so much for my happy ending
dark stained wonders of everyone
broken dreams and memories no longer
haunted sirens of yesterday
have written on my wall
hiding the faces
of those
who stand looking on
these are not kings
these are not queens
take my treasure
where there once was danger
you're a stranger in disguise
i can hold your heart in my hand
hold your heart in my hand
hold your heart in my hand

falling through stars
03:53
|
|||
there were bells on every door
and they just kept on ringing
the light on the hillside made you disappear
all the love I had for you has vanished
drowned before my very first embrace
all that I have found is lost at last
so we can get the dreaming done
i saw your silhouette today
rising up through the shadows
stripped of all seeing
take this heart
it comes crashing down
this is no ordinary dream
when all the colours come
the sound of children’s illusions
all collide at heavens door
in the eye of the storm
we are falling through stars
the moon will follow us tonight
i stand beside your sleeping flame
rain rolls down your face
and your prayer says nothing for another sign
the silence was like thunder
every tear must fall into place
let the dawn come running
if the song gets it wrong
a perfect sunrise on a dark hazy night
rising up through the shadows
stripped of all seeing
take this heart
it comes crashing down
this is no ordinary dream
when all the colours come
the sound of children’s illusions
all collide at heavens door
in the eye of the storm
we are falling through stars
the moon will follow us

spinning sky
04:55
|
|||
i used to know you
when you were young
unknown and free
wreathless you remain
In the ancient light
in the eye of an angel
a shadow of my ghost
love is a blossom
with splinters for petals
in a world gone dark
was it lonely
the black of the storm
of a spinning sky
a hand that hides the eye
there's a leaking
at the edges of time
but you won't look
where the shadows belong
i just had a dream
you knocked on my door
the tear drops were turned
the rain it drips
down into your heart
I looked for a dream
out in the world
there was someone there
she told me her name
from a secret place
she wouldn't speak
to see inside
the heart of her heart
the heart of her heart

all that holds her
04:11
|
|||
there is a girl
who sees the world
from her bed
on the fourth day of seven
as she lies
where there is no grave
beneath a star
that falls from the sky
the fear that's inside
just doesn't show
chains around her face
crowned in the storm
that tears the night
rescuing an angel
with her need to fly
she just doesn't know
a low embrace
is all that holds her here
I’m looking up at the sky
for another sign
an open embrace
as the angel disappears
on the wings of night
like spirits flickering
as the candle burns
I can hear my song
It’s just out of reach
crowned in the storm
that tears the night
rescuing an angel
with her need to fly
she just doesn't know
a low embrace
is all that holds her here
love is just a empty word
hanging in the space left behind

no place for shadows
04:27
|
|||
across the floor there's a weeping sound
as he breaks the mirror on the wall
it hits him where he barely smiles
crying out in anger laughing out loud
as he stands above the rain
and a sky is dying on a hill
he’s just alive and it's flowing away
too far on the down and down it goes
he sits in an oxygen chamber
with his head in the stars
his hands shake in anger
while the tears that were never cried
for years will go on and on
the day after the fall is long
the day after the day is gone
there will be nothing more to say
you thought you fell in love
turned out to be nothing
just a hurt deep inside
like a little universe
but you try to hide your pain
can't hide your twisted smile
moving up above somehow
so far away somewhere
when he came through the storm it was cold
it was no place for shadows
he felt like an ember of stars
there was a knock on the door
he saw the sunlight and the rain
saw that someone somewhere might rise
then he came to realize
every wonder when it came to you
and he knew what to do
dreams told him you were there
he wanted to be where you are
when he thinks about the love
that left his heart behind
the pain you had inside
when you were gathering
all the pieces of your soul
you thought you fell in love
turned out to be nothing
just a hurt deep inside
like a little universe
but you try to hide your pain
can't hide your twisted smile
moving up above somehow
so far away somewhere

there's a time when darkness is all around
and beauty descends on strangers so alone
when no one wants or bothers to speak
it's the broken heart of the moment
memory lingers in the twinkling of a star
rising up through the shadows at dawn
in restless dreams you’re just traveling
trying to find a familiar face upon a frosted ground
now you’ve found it's just another ghost
just another ghost
to the eye of the woman… the man
to the voice of another deathless spell
to the dream of an empty room
for as long as you can run
how do you know if no one will catch you
they don't want you inside the crawling pain
you had a dream that you were never here
a girl who could break the spell
she didn't call you out when she told you
and the wind went the other way
you look back on the clues she left behind
there's glitter scattered in the wake of her nightmare
as the shadows fall and the light is fading
in my head… in my heart
in my head… in my heart
