Burning Now (2014) |
And the colors of the sky wane blue
And we’ll make it if we never go
And the tidal waves are making me sick
And the mystery remains Why is everything so slow?
And we’ll make it if we never go
And the tidal waves are making me sick
And the mystery remains Why is everything so slow?
Once I was lonely
Before you came to know me
Once I was innocent
I knew you too early
Before I knew a thing about me
You showed me how to sin
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
All smoke, no fire
But you had my mind
Twisted up
Around your lovely lies
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
You promised me freedom
From darkness and demons
You cast all the shadows out
As long as I praised you
And loved you and paid you
And bottled up every doubt
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
Dead leaves and no branches
Your smoke signal dances
Once I believed, but you cannot fool me anymore
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
Before you came to know me
Once I was innocent
I knew you too early
Before I knew a thing about me
You showed me how to sin
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade

Grey morning
Aftermath is falling from my eyes
no warning
I’m shell-shocked from the chaos of last night
I saw a side of you I’ve never seen before
You saw a side of me I only save for war
I’m on the floor…
In the Fallout, Fallout
Fallout, Fallout
We both lit the fuse
How will we make it through
the Fallout, Fallout
Oooh…
Grey morning
my face is wet my mouth is dry
words forming
to apologize but then I’ll lose the fight
I saw a side of you I’ve never seen before
You saw a side of me I only save for war
I’m on the floor…
In the Fallout, Fallout
Fallout, Fallout
We both lit the fuse
How will we make it through
the Fallout, Fallout
Oooh…
your face is covered in ashes and dust,
the air is colder in the space between us
Is this armageddon, is this how it ends?
In the Fallout, Fallout (4x)
Oooh…
Aftermath is falling from my eyes
no warning
I’m shell-shocked from the chaos of last night
I saw a side of you I’ve never seen before

Coffee tastes the same every day
My simple things that I repeat
I don’t think I’ve missed a thing
No emptiness, no hollow needs
Then I think of you
There is a depth I’ve never reached
A pulse I’ve never felt
There is a death waiting to breathe
There you are in my mind
With your father’s eyes
There you are in my mind
The first time you smile
There you are in my mind
There you are in my mind
Take you all the places I love
Desert in May, June on the coast
Hold your head when you get sick
Sing the same songs over and over
The first time that your heart breaks
I’ll sit with you, no need to speak
But there I go again
Slipping away to who you could be
There you are in my mind
With your father’s eyes
There you are in my mind
The first night you get high
There you are in my mind
There you are in my mind
You push a muscle in my heart
I’ve never used before
Just when I don’t think
There is room for any more
There you are in my mind
With your father’s eyes
There you are in my mind
The only you I will find
There you are in my mind
There you are in my mind
There you are
There you are
There you are
My simple things that I repeat
I don’t think I’ve missed a thing
No emptiness, no hollow needs
Then I think of you

A pulse I’ve never felt

There you are
There you are
I learned to speak to say your name
I learned to see if you felt the same
I learned to hold just to hold on
Learned it better when you were gone
You will never have nowhere to run
You will never have nowhere to turn
You are all I know
You will never have nowhere to go
I’ll carve my life to fit in yours
I’ll kill the dreams that came before
throw my soul into the flame
just to bring you home again
You will never have nowhere to run
You will never have nowhere to turn
You are all I know
You will never have nowhere to go
Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere…
Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere…
You will never have nowhere to run
You will never have nowhere to turn
You are all I know
You will never have nowhere to go

Hey you in the mirror
I hate that I hate you
Your eyes full of anger
Skin so thin you see right through
I put on my makeup and my bulletproof clothes
Warpaint to hide what I can’t control
Words be my army, smile be my sword
Tonight you can’t harm me, tonight this is war
Tonight this means war, oh… (2x)
Tonight this means war
Hey you in the mirror
I tried to be your friend
Your voice keeps getting meaner
How long can I pretend?
I put on my makeup and my bulletproof clothes
Warpaint to hide what I can’t control
Words be my army, smile be my sword
Tonight you can’t harm me, tonight this is war
Tonight this means war, oh… (2x)
Tonight this means war
I’ll face you now
I’ll face you down
I’m stronger than before
You can’t hurt me anymore
Tonight this means war, oh… (2x)
Tonight this means war
I hate that I hate you
Your eyes full of anger
Skin so thin you see right through
I put on my makeup and my bulletproof clothes

There once was a man who’d sell you a dream
he’d spin you a story from silken strings
weaving visions you’ve never seen
one silver dollar would buy you a dream
Oooh…
His loom wove patterns of lives intertwined
stories to move your heart and your mind
adventures that wander through faraway lands
inventions that alter the lives of man
Dreams
dreams for sale, dreams for sale…”
One winter the shop took a turn for the worse
people doubted his dreams, questioned their worth
fewer customers came through his doors
no-one remembers what dreaming is for
He closed up his shop and grew cold in the streets
begging for scraps and peddling dreams
His beautiful stories threadbare and thin
No-one could spare a penny for him
(instrumental)
His body grew weak, his mind grew frail
unraveling sanity starting to fail
and from his lips, cracked and pale
repeated the words “Dreams for sale…”
He held in his hands his very last thread
He knew that this spot was his finishing bed
then what he saw he could hardly believe
a little boy sitting and sewing a dream
Singing “ Dreams
dreams for sale, dreams for sale…”

I’m drawn into the darkness
Like a moth into the flame
All the demons know me
They call me by my name
I know that I’ve been hiding
I feel like I’m alone
Choosing to be blind
to things I can’t control, but don’t go….
Look into the stars
Look into the stars
We only have the day if we give into the night
It’s who we are
Look into the stars
I can’t pretend to understand
The things that make you break
I’ll try my best to stop myself
From calling your mistakes
I know that you are hiding
You feel like you’re alone
Choosing to be blind
To things you can’t control, But don’t go
Look into the stars
Look into the stars
We only have the day if we give into the night
It’s who we are
Look into the stars
Throw yourself into the old light
Throw yourself into the old light
it’s not just about the sunrise
There is beauty in the dark times
Look into the stars
Look into the stars
We only have the day if we give into the night
It’s who we are
Look into the stars
Like a moth into the flame
All the demons know me
They call me by my name
I know that I’ve been hiding
I feel like I’m alone
Choosing to be blind

We only have the day if we give into the night
It’s who we are
Look into the stars
The stars are so close,
They are just out of reach
All that I need
Is a flying machine
I’m building a contraption
To fly me to my dreams
Everyone is laughin’
Well, they can laugh at me
Cuz I’m too old to be a dreamer, too young to die in bed
I don’t listen to the cynics, listen to my soul instead
If I never learn the secret to this flying machine
Just watch… one day I’ll grow wings
I work every day
On my flying machine
But work isn’t work
When you’re workin’ for a dream
You can call me crazy
Maybe I’ve lost my mind
Sometimes I’m afraid
That I’m just wastin’ time
Will you join me for the ride
Holding hands and starry-eyed
If we never leave the ground
Broken wings won’t bring us down
At least we can say
We had fun along the way
Cuz I’m too old to be a dreamer, too young to die in bed
I don’t listen to the cynics, listen to my soul instead
If I never learn the secret to this flying machine
Just watch… one day I’ll grow wings
They are just out of reach

You want to know right now
But you’re a pool of doubts
Running down some empty road
Thinking time is running out
Take a deep breath, baby
Take it all in
Take the first step and begin
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
You try to outrun fate
You’ve come a long way
You’ve got so long left to go
You wonder how much you can take
So you take a deep breath, baby
Take it all in
Take the first step and begin
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
It takes a lot of days to make a life
Every day has so little black and white
It takes a lot of steps to make a life
Every step takes you through your night
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
But you’re a pool of doubts
Running down some empty road
Thinking time is running out
Take a deep breath, baby
Take it all in
Take the first step and begin
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
You try to outrun fate
You’ve come a long way
You’ve got so long left to go
You wonder how much you can take
So you take a deep breath, baby
Take it all in
Take the first step and begin

Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
It takes a lot of days to make a life
Every day has so little black and white
It takes a lot of steps to make a life
Every step takes you through your night
Don't you rush it
The heart knows where to go
Bit by bit
Just get quiet
And you will hear your soul
Bit by bit, bit by bit
It took me in the blink of an eye
My body empty, my soul undersigned
I’m captive, I watch them confess
To the devil in his Sunday best
I can’t stop him, I don’t stand a chance
I’ll fall victim, dance his wicked dance
We’re divided, maybe we can stand
Maybe we can…
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Every morning, feel you when I wake
Wash myself of your sins and shame
I can hear your hollow pointed lies
I can see it bloody in your eyes
We can’t stop him, we don’t stand a chance
We’ll fall victim, dance his wicked dance
We’re divided, maybe we can stand
Maybe we can….
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Hell is empty, the devils run free
The wicked in you knows the wicked in me
I dance, you dangle the strings
But I’ll be damned if I give you everything
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
My body empty, my soul undersigned
I’m captive, I watch them confess
To the devil in his Sunday best
I can’t stop him, I don’t stand a chance

Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x)
Slow the devil….
I ran into the desert
Below a lonely sky
Let my heart be empty
Let my love run dry
I ran into the canyon
Where I said goodbye
Let my mind be barren
Let my body cry
The river carved the canyon
Through a million years of stone
I’ve been living in your blood
And I am etched into your bones
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I will run, I will wander
I was meant to roam
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
Home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling me
Calling me home
Between two walls you held me
We shared a dusty bed
I wore down your defenses
You forced me to bend
The river carved the canyon
Through a million years of stone
I’ve been living in your blood and I am
Etched into your bones
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I will run, I will wander
I was meant to roam
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling
I never meant to hurt you
Never wanted you to change
I never meant to hurt you
I’m wild to my veins, I cannot be contained
Like the river, the river, the river
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I’m the blood and the water
You’re the skin and bone
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
Oh my lover
Together we’re alone
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling me
Calling me home
Below a lonely sky
Let my heart be empty
Let my love run dry
I ran into the canyon
Where I said goodbye
Let my mind be barren
Let my body cry
The river carved the canyon
Through a million years of stone
I’ve been living in your blood
And I am etched into your bones
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I will run, I will wander
I was meant to roam
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
Home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling me
Calling me home
Between two walls you held me
We shared a dusty bed
I wore down your defenses

You’re the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling
I never meant to hurt you
Never wanted you to change
I never meant to hurt you
I’m wild to my veins, I cannot be contained
Like the river, the river, the river
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I’m the blood and the water
You’re the skin and bone
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
Oh my lover
Together we’re alone
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling me
Calling me home
Take a measured breath
Not too much
Just enough
To stay alive
Words are better left
Left unsaid
Don’t express
Lock it up inside
Slow it, control it, don’t show it, just hold it And don’t let it go…
Oh, what would happen if I
Let life happen, let life happen?
Let life happen, let life happen?
Try to tame the flame
The belly fire
Don’t desire
Keep contained
Feel the pressure pain
Gripping tighter
Knuckles white
Learn to love the chains
Choke it, control it, don’t show it, just hold It until it explodes
Oh, oh, what would happen if I
Let life happen, let life happen?
Let life happen, let life happen?
Let life happen, let life happen to me?
Let life happen, let life happen?
This heart grows slower
This body of mine’s quietly going colder
The god inside’s alive
But I don’t know her
Thought I heard her say
There’s no such thing as safe
Take a breath
Fill it up
Let your love
Be open wide
Oh…
Oh, what would happen if I
Let life happen, let life happen
Let life happen, let life happen
Let life happen, let life happen
Not too much
Just enough
To stay alive
Words are better left
Left unsaid
Don’t express
Lock it up inside
Slow it, control it, don’t show it, just hold it And don’t let it go…
Oh, what would happen if I
Let life happen, let life happen?
Let life happen, let life happen?
Try to tame the flame
The belly fire
Don’t desire
Keep contained
Feel the pressure pain
Gripping tighter
Knuckles white
Learn to love the chains
Choke it, control it, don’t show it, just hold It until it explodes
Oh, oh, what would happen if I
Let life happen, let life happen?
Let life happen, let life happen?
Let life happen, let life happen to me?
Let life happen, let life happen?
This heart grows slower
This body of mine’s quietly going colder
The god inside’s alive
But I don’t know her
Thought I heard her say
There’s no such thing as safe
Take a breath
Fill it up
Let your love
Be open wide
Oh…
Oh, what would happen if I
Let life happen, let life happen
Let life happen, let life happen
Let life happen, let life happen
My fallen king, my everything,
What happened to our dream?
I once believed I’d be your queen
At the end of all things
Though our love was still alive
Buried under alibis
Darkness came into our life
Stole away the light… in your eyes
Empires rise
We built them tall
Higher highs
Higher walls
Our kingdom was a paradise
We seemed to have it all
In the end it’s not your fault
Empires rise
Empires fall
Our desperate quests for happiness
Existing in extremes
To separate ends with separate friends
Enlisting in our dreams
The slow collapse of passing time
Showed the cracks were growing wide
While we grasped for the divine
Despite the warning signs… in our eyes
Empires rise
We built them tall
Higher highs
Higher walls
Our kingdom was a paradise
We seemed to have it all
In the end it’s not our fault
Empires rise
It was a lonely throne, a lonely throne,
A lonely throne that you held
And I’m the one, oh I’m the one,
I’m the one who failed
Empires rise
Empires rise
Our kingdom is in ruins
But our legacy lives on
In the end it’s not all gone
Empires rise
What happened to our dream?
I once believed I’d be your queen
At the end of all things
Though our love was still alive
Buried under alibis
Darkness came into our life
Stole away the light… in your eyes
Empires rise
We built them tall
Higher highs
Higher walls
Our kingdom was a paradise
We seemed to have it all
In the end it’s not your fault
Empires rise
Empires fall
Our desperate quests for happiness
Existing in extremes
To separate ends with separate friends
Enlisting in our dreams
The slow collapse of passing time
Showed the cracks were growing wide
While we grasped for the divine
Despite the warning signs… in our eyes
Empires rise
We built them tall
Higher highs
Higher walls
Our kingdom was a paradise
We seemed to have it all
In the end it’s not our fault
Empires rise
It was a lonely throne, a lonely throne,
A lonely throne that you held
And I’m the one, oh I’m the one,
I’m the one who failed
Empires rise
Empires rise
Our kingdom is in ruins
But our legacy lives on
In the end it’s not all gone
Empires rise
When the fire in the sky
Starts its journey sinking
And the blue fades
While the red waves
reach further
When the mountains keep
The sun from the water drinking
And the last light dies
In the eyes of the warrior
She sings hey
I’m walking all the way
And I won’t come home
‘Til I find my own way
When the fox and the owl
And the firefly awaken
And the moon paints shadows
Against the darkened earth
When the mirrored lake
Reflects the constellations
As they wash away
The wounds of the warrior
She sings hey
I’m walking all the way
And I won’t come home
‘Til I find my own way
When the first of the light
Ignites the whole horizon
And the stars against the blue
Begin to blur
And the roots and the rocks
And the dust of the road start rising
Up to meet
The feet of the warrior
She sings hey
I’m running all the way
And I won’t come home
I won’t come home
Hey
I’m running all the way
And I won’t come home
I won’t come home
Hey
I’m running all the way
And I won’t come home
‘Til I find my own way
No I won’t come home
‘Til I find my own way
Starts its journey sinking
And the blue fades
While the red waves
reach further
When the mountains keep
The sun from the water drinking
And the last light dies
In the eyes of the warrior
She sings hey
I’m walking all the way
And I won’t come home
‘Til I find my own way
When the fox and the owl
And the firefly awaken
And the moon paints shadows
Against the darkened earth
When the mirrored lake
Reflects the constellations
As they wash away
The wounds of the warrior
She sings hey
I’m walking all the way
And I won’t come home
‘Til I find my own way
When the first of the light
Ignites the whole horizon
And the stars against the blue
Begin to blur
And the roots and the rocks
And the dust of the road start rising
Up to meet
The feet of the warrior
She sings hey
I’m running all the way
And I won’t come home
I won’t come home
Hey
I’m running all the way
And I won’t come home
I won’t come home
Hey
I’m running all the way
And I won’t come home
‘Til I find my own way
No I won’t come home
‘Til I find my own way
This is a sign, a warning
This is the beginning of the end
All around us the world is crashing down
while you and I play pretend
You think we’re bound for glory, the road’s about to bend
I know this story, I know how it ends
I see the future (the shape of things to come)
I see the ending (and we’d only just begun)
And baby I’m trying not to run, but I can see
the damage that’s been done
and the shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Is it too late to save us?
Is it too late to change?
Cuz I would rather die than be lifeless and alive
baby, we’re dying anyway
You think we’re bound for glory, the road’s about to bend
I know this story, I know how it ends
I see the future (the shape of things to come)
I see the ending (and we’d only just begun)
And baby I’m trying not to run, but I can see
the damage that’s been done
and the shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
We could face it, spare ourselves the hurt
Instead of waiting for the pain to get much worse
I know it’s over, I won’t let go
I’m holding on for one last hope
For the future ...
in the ending…
And when it’s done I hope we see the sun
and the shape of things to come
This is the beginning of the end
All around us the world is crashing down

All of my weaknesses
Secrets and sins
So, help me, Jesus
Can't keep it all in
My mind may be breaking
I'm aching with hope
If I don't make it
I need you to know
You torment me so sweet
You bring me to my knees
I finally found what I'm fighting for
I'm losing ground in this holy war
And all I know for sure
Love is never simple
But it's pure
Pure
This torch I have carried
I married a lie
My conscience I buried
My cross is a lie
Will you redeem me
Teach me to pray
Or break me completely
Don't leave me this way
You torment me so sweet
You bring me to my knees
I finally found what I'm fighting for
I'm losing ground in this holy war
And all I know for sure
Love is never simple
But it's pure, pure
Pure, pure
Pure, pure
Pure
I finally found what I'm fighting for
I'm losing ground in this holy war
And all I know for sure
Love is never simple
Love is never simple
But it's pure
Secrets and sins
So, help me, Jesus
Can't keep it all in
My mind may be breaking
I'm aching with hope
If I don't make it
I need you to know
You torment me so sweet
You bring me to my knees
I finally found what I'm fighting for
I'm losing ground in this holy war
And all I know for sure
Love is never simple
But it's pure
Pure
This torch I have carried
I married a lie
My conscience I buried
My cross is a lie
Will you redeem me

Pure, pure
Pure, pure
Pure
I finally found what I'm fighting for
I'm losing ground in this holy war
And all I know for sure
Love is never simple
Love is never simple
But it's pure
They tell me our lives are so very small
Like roses, we die, like shadows we fall
They tell me that time slips by like a thief
Our fire is fleeting our candle is brief
But somebody told me
You still love me
Somebody told me
You still love me
Oh, could it be
They tell me that Fate likes to play with our lives
And all of her promises turn into lies
She makes illusions, impossible dreams
And laughs at how badly we want to believe
But somebody told me
You still love me
Somebody told me
You still love me
Oh, could it be
Oh, could it be
If you heard a whisper, a voice in the dark
Told you I'm holding you still in my heart
If you heard a rumor, could you forget it
Shhh… it's a secret don't tell them I said it
If somebody told you
I still love you
If somebody told you
I still love you
Well, what would you do
What would you do
They tell me our lives are so very small
Like roses, we die, worth nothing at all
Our longing is empty our sorrows are cheap
Even our memories aren't ours to keep
But somebody told me
You still love me
Somebody told me
You still love me
Oh, could it be
Like roses, we die, like shadows we fall
They tell me that time slips by like a thief
Our fire is fleeting our candle is brief

You still love me

Old bones
In the closet of my mind
Where I buried you alive
So many years behind
My bones
Still remember how I cried
When the girl they live inside
Couldn't keep you satisfied
Your skeleton knocks on my door
Like you've done a lifetime before
Music begins, you take my hands
And we dance
We dance
Your bones still live inside of a man
Who shows he is as shy as I am
We dance
We dance
Our bones
Still sing the same old song
While our bodies sing along
And our minds are all but gone
Now I know
Broken hearts and broken bones
Are a part of how we grow
Every monster, every lover plays a role
Your skeleton knocks on my door
Like you've done so often before
Music begins, you take my hands
And we dance
We dance
Your bones still live inside of a man
As hopeful and as high as I am
We dance
We dance
Your bones still live inside of a man
You hold me 'til you're human again
We dance
We dance
We dance
We dance
In the closet of my mind
Where I buried you alive
So many years behind
My bones
Still remember how I cried
When the girl they live inside
Couldn't keep you satisfied
Your skeleton knocks on my door
Like you've done a lifetime before
Music begins, you take my hands
And we dance
We dance
Your bones still live inside of a man
Who shows he is as shy as I am
We dance
We dance
Our bones
Still sing the same old song
While our bodies sing along
And our minds are all but gone
Now I know
Broken hearts and broken bones
Are a part of how we grow
Every monster, every lover plays a role
Your skeleton knocks on my door
Like you've done so often before
Music begins, you take my hands
And we dance

Your bones still live inside of a man
As hopeful and as high as I am
We dance
We dance
Your bones still live inside of a man
You hold me 'til you're human again
We dance
We dance
We dance
We dance
