my black bones 05:14
lyrics
buy track
this is what was and what was needed in my life i never let it keep me down in my head a scissor blossom in my bed a yellow flower i lay down next to her my heart beneath the roses one two three four five six seven live and love heaven shines down on me so my black bones and an empty stomach the tears kept flowing down my face on all the places i used to be in the velvet rains
 a turn of fate and a broken heart tidal wave re-entry 
into the never ending i could dream up a thing 
standing in my way 
i will never find what you’re after 
 i watch the sun rise in your eyes like a river flowing through the night with an empty sky and endless cries please hear my restless heart i need you now through the falling sands of night so much for sweet love after all the hurt and bitterness if only i could nestle in your life each day without end you would be left alone with memories stillness ever flowing 
 dreaming of a new dawn in the breath of spring as the sun will rise again head blown by stormy waves in the velvet rains
 a turn of fate and a broken heart tidal wave re-entry 
 into the never ending i could dream of a thing 
 standing in my way 
i will never be what you’re after tell me when you find it
 in the velvet rains
 a turn of fate and a broken heart

haunted memory 04:09
lyrics
buy track
it's still a haunted memory 
 of innocence and what no one else could say the silence felt like proof in the uttered words of my face that night filled me with tears and when i let go feeling pain inside i saw our faces standing there next to me the night was never ending i had my doubts and i had to break away find me in this lonely hour i felt the presence of a spirit

 on and on and i can’t get anywhere all my dreams keep singing all the sad songs like the words you said that day and all my tears they keep falling just one touch 
i can’t get anywhere all my dreams keep singing all the sad songs 

it was a storm that i saw before all through the night when the ghost of my dreams comes to me with a fire in the heart i'll paint the color before my eyes rising above it all again i can just burn and fade away so imagine there’s no tomorrow just an endless road i’ll follow to the other side 
 on and on and i can’t get anywhere all my dreams keep singing all the sad songs like the words you said that day and all my tears they keep falling just one touch 
 and i can’t get anywhere all my dreams keep singing all the sad songs

out on the clouds 04:54
lyrics
buy track
i was out on the clouds before the waves came i had to fall to pieces you were always standing there so you sat between buildings the one at the top was me but you can't be here at all your silence is magical it chills me when i read your words like an echo
 in this bright room 
 the dark angel wings smiling through tears so dim the glow of the light stars were never born your eyes hold the sky your lips deny your heart wants to sleep
 we were drifting on a river a songbird singing sad i saw my earth shining in the trees
 offering electric words now and each time i'm not alone
we've been speaking as the sun shines on the floor my universe breathes 

 in this bright room 
 the dark angel wings smiling through tears so dim the glow of the light stars were never born your eyes hold the sky your lips deny your heart wants to sleep

eyes on fire 04:55
lyrics
buy track
and it was just a dream i reached out for another stone all in my circle my eye is all around in the sky i don't want to break or drift away i have to live this all in my nature in the motion of my death and in the instant i feel alive 
i want to scream my lungs are hot 'cause no one 
is out there my words are 
no longer needed it had to be this way 
i'm swallowing the darkness hiding in myself
 eyes on fire talking to myself heads touching fingers
 the universe is full of ghosts 
it’s so crowded below the universe is full of bones 
if there's poison in your smile you're not alone you're not alone you stop and you go one thing leads to another world another place and time your innocence filled with fallen stars and the moonlight on your face you're not alone heaven shines wherever you go but no one knows you're not alone the universe is full of bones 
i stare too much this is exactly what i expected everyone is watching while i sit there with my own reflection and the rain came like tears onto our faces and it just rains turning into rivers and there it goes... i know, i know, i know, i know 

i'm swallowing the darkness hiding in myself
 eyes on fire talking to myself heads touching fingers
 the universe is full of ghosts 
it’s so crowded below the universe is full of bones

in this house 05:31
lyrics
buy track
in this house there is someone hiding in this house there are birds flying everywhere there are birds soaring on the light going nowhere on the wind help us sleep in our broken clothes help me make it clear from this house on the hill we're out of touch
 out of mind out of tune and we're not going anywhere where is the sun let it shine let it steal the night away cut down the shadows out of all these things 
 you're in the blossom in the bloom of an old dream take the starlight i'm in the doorway where we first met lost in the garden

 cut-cut away the shadows out of all these things something better than this welcome to this world of ours as the sun comes up and shadows fall around this house of ours tell me where you are now it takes me when midnight comes we will always stay in the bright shadows our dream will never end cause there is always now and always

 you're in the blossom in the bloom of an old dream take the starlight i'm in the doorway where we first met lost in the garden

sky black windows 04:45
lyrics
buy track
for a soul that needs jewels are an open wound
 a cup of deep scarred folds on a hem an empire of one voice spirits never walked this way before stars only look then fade away the hope that was promised is not real except in dreams sky black windows on everyone at a place where the light ends where the wise man 
comes to face every fate strip through all the paint on your skin all the pieces wrap around your heart

 the fireflies 
light the corners of my eyes rising up again
 the fireflies light the skies
 i am so high 
 i can feel the heavens 
 caressing me 
I am so low 
 the angels can no longer 
touch me 
 on the sidewalk 
in the blinding light you've seen too much 
 too far gone the jagged edge of falling rain the broken ghost 
who smiled so bright just another face 
just another name that you used to know push away all the sadness

 the fireflies 
light the corners of my eyes rising up again
 the fireflies light the skies 
i am so high 
 i can feel the heavens 
 caressing me 
I am so low 
 the angels can no longer 
 touch me

or so it seems 05:12
lyrics
buy track
among dreams and fears 
that arrive and are cast away an eye for an eye 
 and a tooth for a purse the call for prayer that can't be heard falling through shrouds and endless doubt the devil plays on our wings the sun is rising you can run you can run away there are no words left to speak just speechless shadows on your face what have you learned is a voice inside that is not around there were stolen moments and the laughter ringing through my tears on a broken empty stage fallen angels at my feet on the day the music was 

 i saw your reflection 
in an empty glass i saw a nightmare in a crowded room and so it was just another day 
and i thought i'd wake up make my tears fall down bring me your embrace there's a firefly waiting to fly it follows you up and down my spine don't walk away we're bound to linger right beyond the eye of death or in the blink of an eye just you and me 
feeling the wings of vapour for the circus child

 you see no more tears 
 in this world to fall from your eyes when you smile at the frowns 
 and the faces in your dreams 
is it them or sadness 
tomorrow or so it seems there are no words left to speak your spirit has caught up 
 with a presence that's too strong the sun rises in the morning the stars will always shine the rainbow is on the wall all those angry children had enough to fill the sky with such a light so climb the stars let the children say their love 
has come this way 
 i see your reflection 
in an empty glass i saw a nightmare in a crowded room and so it was just another day

beneath the broken hours 05:49
lyrics
buy track
i took a look through child's eyes saw the crumbling souls and weeping love i looked into their frozen blankness wondered if there was a god above i felt the harsh lights and talked to those too troubled inside before i could count the flying stones i sat there beside myself with heavy breath i filled the space before my two lonely fears started to fade come swim with me we'll never know the pain we shared when it was over i was prepared to climb 
 every mountain of doubt never looking back so strong that i could go on again

 i fell there 
beneath the broken hours with silent breath 
 at last breath and then watching time fly by me like a thousand ships 
tell me your secrets and i'll take care innocence is lost 
 along the way 
 a boy who ran 
 and locked his life away kept waiting for the coldness in the moonlight a girl who heard the footsteps of silence and whispered in her head 
 who are you?
 where are you hiding? i'm not blind she said
 as they let her fly with silent breath 
 my tongue became a razor
 words were sharp as broken glass cut through the atmosphere a kiss at the start like a knife and cut me to the bone to kill away from belief when there's nothing left it’s so clear on memory day

 i fell there 
 beneath the broken hours with silent breath 
 a last breath and then watching time fly by me like a thousand ships 
tell me your secrets and i'll take care innocence is lost 
 along the way
 silence is long abandoned in no man's land i'll find my way home the darkness that fills my eyes you know this will never leave
 this will never leave

unknown garden 04:38
lyrics
buy track
i looked into your eyes roused from the edge of nothing i stood on the moon i never looked back there was fire in your veins i followed you down the whisper lingers here the whisper and it's there 
 take me to that place where the light is waiting and you look at me you watch me burn it’s just another day you watch my heart break with tears i must stay
 my heart is all aches 
welcome to my secret garden unknown garden so all the strangers can see they’re not alone no one watches but us who else is looking through these eyes rising up to the stars

 take me to that place where the light is waiting and you look at me you watch me burn it’s just another day you watch my heart break with tears i must stay my heart is all aches

 to the sun 
they cast their wings around every day 
the color of the leaves

 take me to that place where the light is waiting you look at me you watch me burn it’s just another day you watch my heart break with tears i must stay my heart is all aches

shadows on the sun 05:02
lyrics
buy track
you are all alone and you feel so small you feel so strange in your own way it's too late for tears now no longer riding on this empty bus you know you never loved me i was too young to know but you forgot me i'll be here the sound of a man on his way home a tearful smile that scared all the angels away so sing to me softly while i face the night 
shadows of the sun calling my name they twinkle on my fingertips i count the hours as they rush by the echo of a noise in my head masks the murmurs of my heart 
it chills me inside but i shall return my body tries to hide but it's too late it's too late i find something wrong the color of the sky turns as soft as the clouds the ones i'm longing for 
the dark reach out to me thoughts of you as warm as the sun in silent clover i rest and i sleep helplessly still 
 feel your heart beating it's right before your eyes stumbling on the cracks blood spilling down

 shadows on the sun keep calling my name they twinkle on my fingertips i count the hours as they rush by the echo of a noise in my head masks the murmurs of my heart

sound of light 04:42
lyrics

in my head and i find myself in my heart inside and i rise i still have all that i am shifting through black and white is this then a dream is this then reality is this what everyone says see the fire 
i can hear the sound of light and my soul keeps singing 
its song for you when the night has no other sound angels keep singing their words so i guess i'm not alone sleeping among the bone s

if there is no love then this is my prayer for the perfect love is waiting to be born before the fall it lies in the seeds of life if there is no love then this is my last an unspoken memory on the wings of night in the soft light of candle burns the only hungry eyes as the shadow crosses the sky i feel desire and i turn to face her in a stormy sea see the fire 
i can hear the sound of light my soul keeps singing 
its song for you when the night has no other sound angels keep singing their words so i guess i'm not alone sleeping among the bones

vesper sparrow (for sinéad o'connor) 05:03

stained with other light burned behind the altar hardened by the flame
 footsteps did not falter seed was opened rising up 
shining through murmured anger
 shrieking mercy dreadful truths exposed for every eye sainted movements sacred woman heart daughter wounded womb salvation mother cradled grief redemption sister of my sadness singing seas of tears raged too briefly now releasing cloud arisen free at last 
 sister of my sadness singing seas of tears vesper sparrows whisper her to heaven
