[Delete] | Time
Time here
all but means nothing
just shadows that move 'cross the wall
They keep me company
but they don't ask of me
They don't say nothing at all
I need just a little more silence
I need just a little more time
You send your thieves to me
Silently stalking me
Dragging me into your war
Would you give me no choice in this
I know you can't resist trying to reopen a sore
Leave me be I don't wanna argue
I just get confused and I come all undone
If I agree well it's just to appease you
'Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for
You see love
a tight thorny thread that you spin in a circle of gold
to have me to hold me
a token for all to see
captured to be yours alone
I need just a little more silence
Yeah I need just a little more time
The courage to pull away
There will be hell to pay
deeper you cut to the bone
Leave me be I don't wanna argue
I just get confused and I come all undone
If I agree well it's just to appease you
'Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for
Time here
all but means nothing
just shadows that move 'cross the wall
They keep me company
but they don't ask of me
They don't say nothing at all
So leave me be I don't wanna argue
I just get confused and I come all undone
If I agree well it's just to appease you
'Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for

Perfect Girl
Am I faithful, am I strong
am I good enough to belong
in your reverie a perfect girl
Your vision of romance is cruel
and all along I played the fool
All your expectations bury me
Don't worry
(chorus)
You will find the answer if you let it go
Give yourself some time to falter
But don't forgo this
Knowing that you're loved no matter what
and everything will come around
in time
I own my insecurities
I try to own my destiny
That I can make or break it if I choose
But you take my words and twist them 'round
'til I'm the one that brings you down
Make me feel like I'm the one to blame
For all this
(chorus)
You need everybody with you on your side
Know that I am here for you
but I hope in time
You'll find yourself alright alone
You'll find yourself with open arms
You'll find yourself, you'll find yourself
In time
The riot in my heart decides
To keep me open and alive
I have to take myself away from you
'Cause I can't compete
I can't deny
There's nothing that I didn't try
how did I go so wrong in loving you
Don't worry
-----------------------------------------------------
Dirty Little Secret
If I had the chance, love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all the things I'd never said before
Don't tell me it's too late
'Cause I've relied on my illusions
to keep me warm at night
and I've denied in my capacity to love
but I am willing to give up this fight
I've been up all night drinking
to drown my sorrows down
But nothing seems to help me since you went away
I'm so tired of this town
Where every tongue is wagging
Where every back is turned
They're telling secrets that should never be revealed
There's nothing to be gained from this but disaster
Here's a good one
Did you hear about my friend
He's embarrassed to be seen now
'Cause we all know his sins
If I had the chance, love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all the things I'd never said before
Don't tell me it's too late
'Cause I've relied on my illusions
to keep me warm at night
and I've denied in my capacity to love
But I am willing to give up this fight
Oh I am willing to give up this fight
----------------------------------------------
Fallen
Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
We all begin with good intent
When love was raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burden time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear
I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
Heaven bend to take my hand
With no where left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one missed step, one slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
I've messed up
Better I should know
Don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
-----------------------------------------------------
World On Fire
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
The night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I'll try to hold it in
Yeah I'll try to hold it in
(chorus)
The world's on fire
It's more than I can handle
Tap into the water, try to bring my share
Try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what's coming
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone
Don't wanna be alone
(chorus)
Hearts break Hearts mend love still hurts
Visions clash planes crash still there's talk of
saving souls still the cold's closing in on us
We part the veil on our killing sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some
(chorus x2)
-----------------------------
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Possession
Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?
and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied
and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...
