Clear skies On the shores of my mind Still picking up the pieces that you left behind It’s painstaking but after all you've taken I have so much left to find You see the wreckage When you look my way You leave me broken Like a violent wave You crash right through Like a tsunami Silent After the last storm But I feel so cold, but you wouldn’t know You couldn’t be told and so I let you go And now I have lost my heart And I am drowning You see the wreckage You crash right through Like a tsunami Silent And now I have lost my heart And I am drowning I’m drowning, you see the wreckage When you look my way You leave me broken Like a violent wave You crash right through Like a tsunami Silent Like a tsunami Can you see the wreckage? When you look my way You leave me broken Like a violent wave You crash right through Like a tsunami Like a tsunami

It’s an old schoolyard trick Standing with your back against the brick With the roving-eye To watch the rocks and sticks Hang low Hang low The ice will melt soon Caterpillar spring from their cocoon Trees filling in the air They’re going to get a chance to bloom Hang low Hang low Hang low Hang low The ice will melt soon The ice will melt soon, soon, soon It’s ok to hibernate And work on your tune Hang low (repeat)

You look like an angel in dark clouds Your voice is shaky and muffled by this shroud The shroud of lies we knit to stay so close hmmhmmmmmm I am all you want and nothing more I am falling and you’re like a ghost I am laid up waiting on this floor I’m so in love with you it’s tragic you have the sweetest smell it’s magic here comes apocalypse now hmmhmmmmmm I am all you want and nothing more I want to feel you tearing down my door Oh, I will pine for you, forever you’re my golden sun my treasure oh oh oh oh oh I’m so in love with you it’s tragic you have the sweetest smell it’s magic hmmhmmmmmm I want to feel you tearing down my door I am all you want and nothing more here comes apocalypse now here comes apocalypse now here comes apocalypse now

We go here We go there We go where we think we’ll find it Again we search Until we see How it is Where do we go with our broken hearts? Tell me where do we go with our broken hearts? We make love We take stands We know our time is short We go where we think we’ll find it Again we search Never be free But where, where do we go with our broken hearts? Tell me where do we go? Where, where do we go with our broken hearts? Where, where, where do we go?

Keep the silence Keep believing, its something until I sleep Too many tears are bouncing off rainbows Mechanics switch this channel to play Heed the silence Keep believing, it’s something until I sleep And wind whispers through my veins I can’t imagine keeping warm Because my eyelids are ashamed to speak for daytime All this pain Is suspended given all these teardrops on my cheeks Begin 40,000 beliefs into the future Well I belong It’s just too long Just too long Keep the silence Keep believing, it’s something until I Keep the silence Don’t let it go Must keep believing In something until I sleep I never thought I could be so good I gotta face my fears I gotta warn myself I miss me

They all think one thought She won’t be joining She’s just too afraid She’s just too afraid She’s just Everything in-between She’s just too afraid She’s just too afraid Because none really cares if she makes it big or not It's not another ploy to get in and out of here Everything in-between She’s just too afraid She’s just too afraid Everything in-between She’s just too afraid She’s just too afraid Everything

This is the time when the nights are long The air seems to bite, this cold has a strong hold Of fear in the dark But a fire burns in my heart A power unspoken pulls me outside Thick night like a blanket gripping me tight Something lifts my eyes To diamonds piercing the sky And three kings known to be wise Have me frozen, hypnotized The silver-white Christmas star reminds Follow the signs Follow the signs On a cold peaceful road in the dark That cold peaceful road To the Christmas Star Do you remember why A chorus rang from the sky? And angels born to be wise Are now waking to the Christ inside The silver-white Christmas star still leaves me mystified Oh follow the Christmas Star That promises a new sunrise The glimmering Christmas star reminds Follow the signs Follow the signs This is a time when the night feels long On a road to the light But I’m not alone Follow the signs Follow the signs Follow the signs Follow the signs

Close the window and your eye Disappear into the blue Wrap your fingers around the great escape Looking down on those traveling lights I best be on my way Floating down that moving sidewalk I go clear-eyed and calm Don’t want the footfall That’s delight Tell me far too long And without you No longer trouble I’m looking down on those traveling lights And I am on my way Floating down that moving sidewalk I go clear-eyed and calm Don’t want the footfall That’s delight And I am on my way This torch is heavy But I travel light I know its lonely on the top shelf Cos I’ve been there myself Oh, I‘ve been there Deep in my cups High in the sky When I just wanted something of my own Oh, I’ve been there

Dream, dream of light, oh dream Dream The ground is disappearing and you’re closer to the sun Traveling faster than the speed of light Dream, dream of light, oh dream Dream of light Dream, dream of light, oh dream You running like you’re inside a world that has come undone Dream, dream of light, oh dream Dream, dream of light

Turn out the lines Open your mind It’s all been the same What will it take? Clear out the rain It’s time for a change There’s always a mountain to climb To take you higher Only love can make us strong, nothing else only love Sometimes we find Emotions ignite Were both on the same side And I am going to reach you someday Together we’ll shine We will cast off the night We will turn the tide Only love can make us strong, nothing else only love Hear the sound of our hearts, we live for love, only love Only love can make us strong, only love Hear the sound of our hearts, we live for love, only love Only love Only love

Words roll on by Mmm, it’s such a thinking world It’s only Think you And me All by inside I give and I receive Moved by this sublime feeling, all through my emotive world Of conscious thought we keep conceptualising It’s relieving It’s only Think you And me It’s such an imperfect world That keeps moving It’s such an imperfect world, perfectly, mmm, perfectly, mmm It’s such an imperfect world, perfectly, mmm, perfectly, mmm
