lyrics

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
