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?
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 ​
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…
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 ​
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
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
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
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 
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
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….
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
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
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
​
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
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
​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
​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
​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
