With a comb down here, it's easy
But do you rather have a good day?
But a dream like this gets wasted
That you'll, bend under pressure
Still you'll, bend over pressure
I really love it, oh, you love it
Not gonna loose you, when it all breaks down
And the runaways standing in the wind and pray
And they stare straight into nothing,
But we're all kinda the same. You all raise
On a promise, found out over time
Bet it will come around, get a new way
Or watches how it all breaks down here
Under the pressure
Never break out there
The storm and the wind will go
However you count down there
Stay, keep holding on!
In a cold wind, all arrested
Now, you know how it feels
This is really, warden in my back
Goose all in my gut
Standing in the water, just trying not to crack
Under pressure

Red Eyes
Come and see
Where are we, this everything
On my knees
Beat it down to get to my soul
Against my way
Anyone can tell it's you coming
Baby, you're on my mind
Leave it on a lie, leave it your way
Come and ride away,
It's easier to stick to the earth
Surrounded by the night
Surrounded by the night, and you don't grow old
But you abuse my faith
Losing every time but I don't know where
You're on my side again
So ride the key wherever it goes
I'll be the one, I can't, whoo!
You are all I've got, away
Running in the dark I come to my soul
You can see it through the dark, it's coming my way
Well we won't get lost inside again
Oh no, no season I can wait
Made of time, made of wool, I can't
Don't think they would mind against
I will keep you here, but I can't
Oh, I'll talk to you if I can
I'll see you where I go
Seen the darkness coming for me
??
Where are we, this everything
On my knees
Beat it down to get to my soul
Against my way

It's easier to stick to the earth
Surrounded by the night
Surrounded by the night, and you don't grow old
But you abuse my faith
Losing every time but I don't know where

Oh, I'll talk to you if I can
I'll see you where I go
Seen the darkness coming for me

Suffering
I was here in the world, the world that you gave me every time
You can say that you're running " cuz I can go back on the street "
I'll be here when we both gonna fake it
We're awake
No more try to hear killing your goal
Means I can be bigger then the tones
In the moments of suffering
Like the feeling that you gave me, like a snowflake though the fire
I'll be frozen in time but you'll be here
Suffering
Will you be here suffering?
Will you be here suffering?
"Well I hope to be"
You can say that you're running " cuz I can go back on the street "
I'll be here when we both gonna fake it
We're awake
No more try to hear killing your goal
Means I can be bigger then the tones
In the moments of suffering
Like the feeling that you gave me, like a snowflake though the fire
I'll be frozen in time but you'll be here
Suffering
Will you be here suffering?
Will you be here suffering?
"Well I hope to be"

An Ocean In Between The Waves
Run away, I'm a travellin' man
Been working every day
I watch you as you hesitate
Walking through the rain
I bet against the company again
Been trying to redefine
Everything that I know and love
Gotta know you're mine, yeah
Feel the way that the wild wind blows through the room
Like a nail gun through the heart
That just don't beat the same anymore
That might as well be gone
I'm in my finest hour
Can I be more than just a fool?
It always gets so hard to seem bright
Before the moon
Far away ma, there's a black sun risin' overhead
There's a moon through the midnight rain
How can I surround myself in time and time again?
How can I be free?
Just wanna lay in the moonlight
See the light shine in, see you in the outline
It never gets too dark to find
Anybody at anytime
I'm at the darkened hillside
And there's a haze right between the trees
And I can barely see you
You're like an ocean in between the waves
Been working every day
I watch you as you hesitate
Walking through the rain
I bet against the company again
Been trying to redefine
Everything that I know and love
Gotta know you're mine, yeah
Feel the way that the wild wind blows through the room
Like a nail gun through the heart
That just don't beat the same anymore
That might as well be gone
I'm in my finest hour
Can I be more than just a fool?
It always gets so hard to seem bright
Before the moon
Far away ma, there's a black sun risin' overhead
There's a moon through the midnight rain
How can I surround myself in time and time again?
How can I be free?
Just wanna lay in the moonlight
See the light shine in, see you in the outline
It never gets too dark to find
Anybody at anytime
I'm at the darkened hillside
And there's a haze right between the trees
And I can barely see you
You're like an ocean in between the waves

Disappearing
All this way to connect
And all the way to the corner everyday
You were there for me
But will you wait for the one that disappear?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was home when you came
It threw me out of touch
It took away from the cold of your arms
Now I wait for my turn to let it blow
Against me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Will you wait for the one that disappears?
And all the way to the corner everyday
You were there for me
But will you wait for the one that disappear?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was home when you came
It threw me out of touch
It took away from the cold of your arms
Now I wait for my turn to let it blow
Against me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Will you wait for the one that disappears?

Eyes To The Wind
I was sailin' down here on the wind
When I met you and I fell away again
Like a train in reverse down a dark road
Carrying the whole load
Just rattling the whole way home
Have you fixed your eyes to the wind?
Will you let it pull you in again?
On the way back in?
I'm a bit run down here at the moment
Let me think about it babe
Let me hold ya
There's a cold wind blowing down my old road
Down the backstreets where the pines grow
Where the river splits the undertows
But I'd be lying to myself if I said that I didn't mind
Leave it hanging on a line
Lost inside my head
Is this the way I'll be denied, again?
So I'll set my eyes to the wind
But it won't be easy
To leave it all again
Just bit run down here
There's just a stranger
Living in me
As you set your eyes to the wind
And you see me pull away again
haven't lost it on a friend
I'm just bit run down here at the moment
Yeah, I'm all alone here
Living in darkness
When I met you and I fell away again
Like a train in reverse down a dark road
Carrying the whole load
Just rattling the whole way home
Have you fixed your eyes to the wind?
Will you let it pull you in again?
On the way back in?
I'm a bit run down here at the moment
Let me think about it babe
Let me hold ya
There's a cold wind blowing down my old road
Down the backstreets where the pines grow
Where the river splits the undertows
But I'd be lying to myself if I said that I didn't mind
Leave it hanging on a line
Lost inside my head
Is this the way I'll be denied, again?
So I'll set my eyes to the wind
But it won't be easy
To leave it all again
Just bit run down here
There's just a stranger
Living in me
As you set your eyes to the wind
And you see me pull away again
haven't lost it on a friend
I'm just bit run down here at the moment
Yeah, I'm all alone here
Living in darkness

Burning
On a drive, I'm taking backroads
High against where the rivers are flowing
I didn't think that our love had grown
You had me dead to rights
Hey, I'm trying to get some rest
To keep on moving
How you been, you looking back?
You tried to change your burning boat
Until you realized what you were up against
I spent all those nights just trying to take you home
'Til you released me
Cross the bridge to redefine your pain
When the answer's in your heart
Wide awake, I rearrange the way I listen in the dark
Dreaming of starting up again
So if you look, you'll find yourself
You're not the demon in the dark
That you and I, yeah we'd been through that
Oh, can you rectify it all the times I took you away from choosing?
So as you find yourself flying high up there
When you release me from your heart again (woo!)
I'm just a burning man trying to keep this ship
From turning over again
Cross the rich derivative of pain
Crush the burning in your heart
Wide awake to redefine the way you listen in the dark
Dreaming, starting
Like a stranded kid in a doorway just burning
Yeah, I turn the light, babe
High against where the rivers are flowing
I didn't think that our love had grown
You had me dead to rights
Hey, I'm trying to get some rest
To keep on moving
How you been, you looking back?
You tried to change your burning boat
Until you realized what you were up against
I spent all those nights just trying to take you home
'Til you released me
Cross the bridge to redefine your pain
When the answer's in your heart
Wide awake, I rearrange the way I listen in the dark
Dreaming of starting up again
So if you look, you'll find yourself
You're not the demon in the dark
That you and I, yeah we'd been through that
Oh, can you rectify it all the times I took you away from choosing?
So as you find yourself flying high up there
When you release me from your heart again (woo!)
I'm just a burning man trying to keep this ship
From turning over again
Cross the rich derivative of pain
Crush the burning in your heart
Wide awake to redefine the way you listen in the dark
Dreaming, starting
Like a stranded kid in a doorway just burning
Yeah, I turn the light, babe

Lost In The Dream
Lost in the dream
Or just the silence of a moment
It's always hard to tell
Down in the way
They cut it open and they sold it
It's always hard to tell
I saw a soldier man
He locked his eyes like they were red
Ooh but it's hard they can't resist
You may risk it all
You'd risk it all for the memory
But it's living under your skin
Love's the key to the things that we see
And don't mind chasing
Leave the light on in the yard for me
When we were the same
We stroked our arms and we wore them thin
Ah the sadness it was in
You don't miss it man
You got it all like a memory
Now it's living under your skin
Love's the key to the games that we play
But don't mind losing
Love's the key to the things that we see
But you don't mind moving
It's a door...
It's the key to the dark...
Love's a game; it's always the same
Oh, all the way
Or just the silence of a moment
It's always hard to tell
Down in the way
They cut it open and they sold it
It's always hard to tell
I saw a soldier man
He locked his eyes like they were red
Ooh but it's hard they can't resist
You may risk it all
You'd risk it all for the memory
But it's living under your skin
Love's the key to the things that we see
And don't mind chasing
Leave the light on in the yard for me
When we were the same
We stroked our arms and we wore them thin
Ah the sadness it was in
You don't miss it man
You got it all like a memory
Now it's living under your skin
Love's the key to the games that we play
But don't mind losing
Love's the key to the things that we see
But you don't mind moving
It's a door...
It's the key to the dark...
Love's a game; it's always the same
Oh, all the way

In Reverse
You've been out on the street
Talkin' bout the war with me
And the background is at night
Don't want to hesitate
Will they tell me where you're hiding?
But through the haze there's no one there.
Wondering if you care.
Callin' out your name in the darkness
When I'm done with my time here
I'm going to keep staying strong
Through the railways
But I never mind going
And I realize now that the road is bare
And I hear it all through the grand parade
And I don't mind you disappearing
Cause I know you can be found
We be livin' on the dark side of the street, damn.
When we livin' in the moment
and losing our grasp
making it last with the grand parade in our past
Sometimes I wait for the cold wind to blow
As I struggle with myself right now as I let the darkness in
But I don't mind chasing you through the back ways for the keys
It evaporates and fades like a grand parade
And I don't mind you disappearing
When I know you can be found
When you livin' on the dark side of the street, damn?
We just livin' in the moment, making our past, losin' our grasp through the grand parade
I'll be here or I'll fade away
Never cared about moving, Never cared about now
Not the notes I'm playing
Is there room in the dark, In between the changes?
Like a light that's drifting, In reverse I'm moving.
Talkin' bout the war with me
And the background is at night
Don't want to hesitate
Will they tell me where you're hiding?
But through the haze there's no one there.
Wondering if you care.
Callin' out your name in the darkness
When I'm done with my time here
I'm going to keep staying strong
Through the railways
But I never mind going
And I realize now that the road is bare
And I hear it all through the grand parade
And I don't mind you disappearing
Cause I know you can be found
We be livin' on the dark side of the street, damn.
When we livin' in the moment
and losing our grasp
making it last with the grand parade in our past
Sometimes I wait for the cold wind to blow
As I struggle with myself right now as I let the darkness in
But I don't mind chasing you through the back ways for the keys
It evaporates and fades like a grand parade
And I don't mind you disappearing
When I know you can be found
When you livin' on the dark side of the street, damn?
We just livin' in the moment, making our past, losin' our grasp through the grand parade
I'll be here or I'll fade away
Never cared about moving, Never cared about now
Not the notes I'm playing
Is there room in the dark, In between the changes?
Like a light that's drifting, In reverse I'm moving.
