Track Name: My Head Will Fall
i give myself all that i need
cause if i don't, my head will fall
i'm walkin down these dark roads
and there i hear my own voice call
oh please, please
please don't take
don't take, take it away from me
because every time, i've fallen down
i break all that i had built

there is not much left
than a handful of dust
i have loved so much
and no matter how many times
that i rise up
this world is always pulling me back down

i give myself all that i need
cause if i don't, my head will fall
i'm walkin down these dark roads
and there i hear my own voice call
Track Name: Veins Blood Sound
you think it's safe on a moonlit darkened night
find yourself

i'm moving through darkened days
singing to the girls who cannot listen
beside the roads that stretch forever
my head is in the way

what if i
take the time
to hear my stone breath cutting out?

veins keep on pumping
blood through the night
sounds keep on vibrating
around through the night
i'll stay silent
you'll keep retreating inside
you'll keep retreating inside
you'll keep retreating inside

i will write this blank love letter
because everyone remains doing as they are told
forgetting the truth that flows inside
mindless chaos open wide

veins keep on pumping
blood through the light
sounds keep on vibrating
around through the night
i'll stay silent
silent
Track Name: Horizon
you put me down my entire life
stay back

i almost broke down from what you said
i need to break free from your iron fist

i'm breaking down the lies
breaking down the lies

i'm breaking through the walls you built, now
i'm tearing down the traps from the past
i'm falling down the stairs you built
watching the sun rise around the bend
watching the sun rising around the bend

it's my horizon
come on
it's my horizon
Track Name: Break Through
beware of the vampire souls out there
because if you let their plastic teeth bite you
and their foam claws reach your skin
you will create a poison
inside of you

break through
the cardboard box
walls
they have devised

you've got angel wings
hang on
you see
the only way to get it out
is to sing
your true voice
Track Name: Fever
you need to live
and i need to die
let me see your hands
one last time
time

let me see your eyes
unfold under the sun ray shine
just let me see your lips
let me kiss you one more time

because there's darkness around
i know there is
and there is lightness around
and there are angels around
and there is you and me and the night

give in
as i take you there
let the sparrows fly as they may

your skin is immaculate
like the porcelain figure
i want you to know
that will never leave my mind

there's so many words to say
and they'll come out
in the way they're meant to

hear the sound
hear the sound of my heart
beat

something's going to change in you
something is growing in you
something's going to give to you
i know, i know

someone's going to look right through you
someone's going to speak right through you
and it will not do anything
to change your heart
soul

let go, let go

fever, fever
fever, fever
Track Name: Hands
my journey has reached a point
no returns
this place where there are no walls
no corridors, no exits
no space no time

everything is one
every voice is life
every creature is glowing white
there there, what a good teacher
what a good teacher

crushing their souls out of my sight

your hands
are stronger
than you know

do you feel
everybody's
beating heart?

not anymore

i have landed back on ground

all of these things in your way
are simply things

you really need to start doubting
everything they have told you

because you have a strength
inside of you
that is more powerful than a thousand nuclear bombs

do not forget
Track Name: Darkness
looking outside
can shed some light
of what is burning inside

when i silence my mind
and open my heart
things are making more sense

but i have no one to give this to

i see people holding tight
what i have always wanted here

so all i can do is sit still
in silence inside
despite this frozen silence
that is growing in time

and i have no one to share this with
i have all that i need
but i never get what i truly want

i can bury my hope
in a mound of sand
by the beach that i can hide

and the summer will end
and the leaves will fall
covering me tightly

somewhere in darkness
i will go
Track Name: Little Things
hollow sighs
give me strength

when it all falls down
my heart is crushed by life

all around me
are flaming cars and trucks
and every single person lives inside a box

it's the little things
you see
that gives me life

it's the little things
in life
that gives me love

where you live
or where you go
doesn't matter
it's all who you know
and what you do
it's all who you know
and what you do

i know you can rise above
Track Name: Don't Mistaken Me
don't mistaken me
it is a beautiful thing
to lay by your side
and heal with you
and heal with you

the changes that naturally come
have been
surrounding us like a whirlwind

and as the endless nights give way
i don't want to sleep alone
not anymore
not anymore
because i have for too many years

don't mistaken me
it is a beautiful thing
to tell me of our brokenness
as the rain falls outside

i have been strengthened
i have been strengthened
in the center of my heart

there is a bond that feels endless

and the darkness that whispers
venomous lies into your ear
don't believe it
Track Name: I Noticed
it was you that i noticed
feeling lost and alone
it was you that i noticed

it was your essence and purpose
that held me still, held me still
it was you that i noticed

angels, angels
must have wings

it was you that i noticed
to have seen what i have seen
and been where i have been

it was an absolute miracle
in every way i could ever imagine
it was an absolute miracle
in every way i could ever imagine

it was you that i noticed
it was you
it was you that i noticed
it was you
Track Name: Here's The Door
your teardrops
falling

the things you do to yourself
the things you do to yourself

shine on now
shine on right now
here's the door
here's the door

take the love you have in your heart
for the other person

you know when you're feeling pain
when they do not accept you

now take that pain
and take the love

you give it to yourself
give it to yourself

the answers are inside of you
put that love back inside of you

the door is here
the door is here
inside of you
my friends
Track Name: In These Eyes
in these eyes i can see something
beautiful inside of you
inside of you

the purest heart scarred by those who have none

i want to sit beside you
and listen to your words
i don't think you know how much they hit me

in these eyes i can see something
in these eyes i can see something
inside of you

i know it takes a long time
to see what i can see
to see what i can see
inside of you

fall beside me
and feel around me
and breathe within me
and talk lightly
touch me gently
and crawl, no running
just close your eyes please
you need no sight now
just hear the music

fall beside me
and feel around me
and breathe within me
and talk lightly
touch me gently
and crawl, no running
just close your eyes please
you need no sight now
just hear the music
Track Name: The Ghosts Are Free
look in the sun

now i've got so many things to say
i'm walking outside
i look into the clouds
i see who i am

i walk to the fountain
i'm cleansed by the water
it takes two eyes
and two ears
to take it all in

what i see

i'm feeling what i feel
and it feels soaked in feeling
i bow down to my knees
everything surrounding me is sacred

weeping willow, surround me
weep with me

come sigh with me when i am ready
come breathe with me when i am treading
the ghosts are free when i'm leaning
the ghosts are here when words are freed
Track Name: Orchids
give me my cloak back
gonna find a way down

to drop my dead ways
from the tower

losing myself
to the orchids
of her eyes

giving myself
a soul

through broken metal gates i passed
the ornate drapes they concealed from me
in the color of blood they flapped
flowing from the top of the vaulted ceiling
in the center of the room
there stood a table holding a letter written to myself
but i never opened it
i did not want to see
the truth

my mind has lost control
of all the things that god knows
you see, i'm on the edge of a lonely spire
some say you can feel love so much higher
i began alone and i cannot see
what flames burn in front of me
Track Name: Ariel
twilight's waiting to open
let's sit here for a while
won't you hold my head up straight
oh ariel

give me some color i know
i am looking too pale
don't let me freeze here
oh ariel

maybe i'm a ghost
maybe you're not here
my life an illusion

oh ariel my hands have gone numb
the streets are empty
the kings have their crowns and sceptres
oh ariel, my friend
keep me calm

give me breath
oh ariel, my friend

hold my hand
oh ariel, my friend

it's getting dark now
it's getting dark now
oh ariel, my friend

maybe i'm a ghost
it's getting brighter now
maybe i'm a ghost
it'll be alright
Track Name: Curtains
if your curtains fell
what would be good enough?

how many constant things are there
truly in this world that could make you feel secure?

i will make this vow right now
to be who i am and stand as still as i can
because the tide has turned
and the candles have been burned
from the ghosts who have worn those crowns

and as long as living things decay
so will i walk the path that so many are afraid to

but the clock never strikes thirteen
in your mind it cannot
but it can strike fifteen if you want it to

no matter how tall the trees have grown
the wind still blows and the harder they fall
but maybe that's how it's meant
maybe that's how it's meant
to go
