By the time it takes to say,
“It’s gonna be one of those days.”
The light in the room,
Doesn’t shine, it joins the gloom.
I think you’re bright enough to say
I’m going to be someone
And not just grey.
And the hurt in your soul.
You better let it out before it takes control.
So C’mon, let’s run away.
Run through the night ‘til we find the day.
So c’mon, let’s disappear,
And leave this place like we were never here.
The way was always clear,
Let’s get the fuck outta here.
And the light in your eyes,
Has dulled, by no surprise.
I think you’re bright enough to say
I’m going to be someone
And not just grey.
And the hurt in your soul
You better let it out before it takes control.
So C’mon, let’s run away
Run through the night ‘til we find the day.
So c’mon, let’s disappear,
And leave this place like we were never here.
When things fall apart,
Your sacred heart,
Heals my broken heart.
So C’mon, let’s run away.
Run through the night ‘til we find the day.
So c’mon, let’s disappear,
And leave this place like we were never here.
So C’mon, let’s run away
Run through the night ‘til we find the day.
So c’mon, let’s disappear,
And leave this place like we were never here.

Open cast to break my fall,
And hide away from you all.
'Til I fall in and say "So long!",
And the world just laughs along.
Highs and lows are all I know.
My highs are low, my lows are so.
'Til I fall in and say "I'm gone"
And the world just sings along.
You could help me,
You could raise me up,
You could save me.
But you tear me down,
You break me.
That's why I'll always be alone.
Follow your bliss, and you will see,
That road is paved with misery.
And the hardest bit is holding on
To your dreams when everything goes wrong.
You could help me,
You could raise me up,
You could save me.
But you tear me down,
You break me.
That's why I'll always be alone,
In your Violent monochrome.
You whisper, "Could I believe?" but hold back.
You tell me to hurry up but wait for it.
The treasure that you found is my loss.
In running away from you, I've stayed right here.
You could help me,
You could raise me up,
You could save me.
But you tear me down,
You break me.
That's why I'll always be alone,
In your Violent monochrome.

And I awake to find I am snowbound.
And my blood is spilling on the ground.
On this battlefield, the casualties,
Are when my friends become my enemies.
And I struggle on through the night,
With no lover by my side.
As she fades away into the sea,
She breaks my heart oh so callously.
So say a little prayer for me,
As you light another light for me,
'Cos the night is fading in on me,
And time, my friend, is just memory.
And I know you cannot feel the same.
But I'm handing you the blame.
As we stumble through this pageantry,
How we recoil, oh so readily.
So say a little prayer for me,
As you light another light for me,
'Cos the night is fading in on me,
And time, my friend, is just memory.
Let's wait and see,
If this hurt will take its toll,
Or be the light,
Through this dark night of my soul.
So say a little prayer for me,
As you light another light for me,
'Cos the night is fading in on me,
And time, my friend, is just memory.

Let's watch the sun go down,
And see if we are found.
And if hope is lost,
Well, let's lie down on the ground.
And watch my bleeding heart,
ignored and thrown away,
as the magician plans,
the ending of the day.
CHORUS
I may be blind,
But I've been here before.
You say you don't mind,
But I've been here before.
Water to wine,
But I've been here before.
Nothing is fine,
But I've been hear before.
To be born again,
Nothing left to say.
Another son of man,
Who claims he is the way.
Take this photograph,
That's faded by the sun,
That shows a happy time
That wasn't that much fun.
CHORUS
I felt so bad when I played your game,
But to tell the truth, man,
I still feel the same.
Cos I can't do right for doing wrong,
It's the same old line, man,
The same old song.

Haunted

You're so lovely,
And I'm so lonely.
But you're not here to pick me up.
Pick me up.
Its soul ending,
All this pretending
That you're still here to talk it out.
Talk it out.
CHORUS
And I guess I'm haunted,
By the world you wanted.
Will I always be here?
Right inside of someone else's fight,
Haunted by your words at night.
You're half-crazy.
You call me lazy.
And I can't wait to beat you down.
See you around.
CHORUS
MIDDLE
And the world you sold to me,
To me and me alone,
And the lies you told to me,
Have left me all alone.
END CHORUS

Hold On

I'm getting lost in these rising tides
And I know that God isn't here.
You cling to me as we're going down
And the end is getting near.
And I want you to stay,
But your hand just slips away,
And I need you to breathe,
And your soul to not recede
Hold on, yeah?
Just hold on to me.
Hold on, yeah?
Just hold on for me.
I'm drowning in my past mistakes
And regrets I cannot heal.
No redemption. No Safety nets.
I am Numb. I cannot feel.
And I want you to stay,
But your hand just slips away,
And I need you to breathe,
And your soul to not recede
Hold on, yeah?
Just hold on to me.
Hold on, yeah?
Just hold on for me.
Hold on, yeah?
Just hold on to me.
Hold on, yeah?
Just hold on for me.
