falling through stars

1.
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 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

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

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

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

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

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
10.
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
11.
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

12.
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
