1.    Swallowed By The Fire

​

it's on nights like this that I dream

of what could have been

in the company of my ghosts

and all those paths unseen

​

I hear your voice

from a distant past

our deepest fears 

are the ones that last

 

and there's nothing

left to say

won't you stay

oh my head's far away

on wings

of desire

I'm swallowed up by the fire

​

first thing's first, to fill the cup

to quench that thirst

for someplace safe, for angels' song

sweet memory

​

​

2.    The Ocean

​

talk to me softly tonight

I'm not myself

the waves are getting the better of me

and I could use some help

​

time, like veil it falls

on you and me

time, is my condemnation

or it will set me free

​

this ocean

is deep and cold

honey

I can't say I wasn't told

​

​

3.    Drifting

​

clear skies

the infinite sea

I remember you

like a dream

​

lines tangled 

are never free

the truths we learn

the secrets we keep

​

and days roll by

like drops of rain

I have changed

and I'm the same

​

I'm ready now

ready for the fall

I'm drifting now

drifting from the shore

​

​

4.   As I Fade

​

oh, do you see

the night surrounding me

oh, it's late

here she comes, fate

​

oh, will you stay

it's dark and I'm not one to pray

oh, at the gate

here she comes, fate

​

as I fade, I can't see or be seen

as I fade, back into the dream

a faith betrayed, and a love that's been

as I fade, as I fade

​

as I fade away

as I fade away

as I fade away

as I fade

as I fade

​

​

5.    The Weight Of The World

​

all those empty rooms I live in

all those fragile lives that break

all the guilt and the forgiving

all that's real and all that's fake

​

your dreams are born, collide and die

shadows dancing on the wall

you won't know if you don't try

you can't climb if you can't fall

​

bending

under the weight of the world

hey now honey

how d'you keep your head?

bending

under the weight of the world

hey now honey

how d'you keep your head?

​

​

6.    Cover Me

​

first we divide the gold

and then we run like hell

as the sun comes up

they're still on our tail

​

secrets too big to keep

a truth that's hard to tell

I'm going to run to you

now I'm under your spell

​

time, cover me

love, set me free

​

​

7.    Just Another Day

​

boy 

it's just another day

and the part you play

and all that shame

​

child

I know just how it feels

guilty unless you kneel

it's all just a game

​

safe

you're safe with me

and child don't you see

it's just the parts we play

it's just another day

​

boy

it's just another day

and the part you play

and you take is hard

​

child

I know just how it feels

guilty unless you kneel

always on your guard

​

​

8.    What Love Can Do

​

neither here

not there

all the love in this world won't stop me

from where I head

​

won't you tell me the things I need

to hear tonight

won't you tell me the things you'll do

if I get it right

​

'cause I have seen what love can do

I have seen what love can do

I have felt the pain in you

I have seen what love can do 

​

​

9.    Parade

​

won't you come here, help me out

I'm in a spot of trouble

will you tell me, what it's all about 

I think I'm thinking double

​

kings and queens

on this parade

to hate to love

to hope to crave

plastic faces

my fear and shame

to burn out or to fade

​

​

10.   Hide

​

I mean no harm

maybe one day

I will become

the man you say

​

I hide in me

strong and free

​

the colours spin

through empty streets

beloved sin

you're mine to keep

​

you hide in me

I'll just wait and see

​

there's a time to shout out loud

there's a time to swallow pride

there's a time to run and hide

​

​

11.   High Up

​

you don't know what it feels like

to be in this room

you don't know what it feels like

staring at the moon

you and I, bluest skies

give us a smile

why don't you stay for a drink

stay for a while

​

I'm on the edge

perched high up on a ledge

I'm about to fall

don't you, don't you

hear me call

​

​

12.   Silence Of Night

​

the shadows play with the light

and I am deep underground

a boxer who's thrown his fight

night falls without a sound

​

this place

all that I have

your face

tears mixing with love

​

dreams dissolve

in the silence of night

how to know

what's wrong and what's right

colours that fade

were never that bringht

dreams dissolve

in the silence of night

​

the shadows play with the light

and I am up in the clouds

a boxer who's thrown his fight

a silence that's ever so loud

​

the lights go down

I'm back at the start

kept awake

by the beat of my heart

​

​

13.   Nothing

​

all the tears

all the cries

all the fears

and all the lies

all that you love

all that you've seen

what I have

and where I've been

nothing

nothing

nothing

​

long shadows in the red sunset

a breeze on my tired face

life is love, fear and regret

and time is our saving grace
