"Fairytales Sandcastles"

"Fairytales Sandcastles"


He says he looks in the mirror
And he can't tell anymore
Who he really is and who they believe him to be
He says he walks a thin line
Between what is and what could be
And he's getting closer to something he can't understand
But there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder, there was nothing there
Now it's a long way down
It's a long way down
On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
On and on and on he goes, dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand
He says his head is filled with cartoons and fairytales
He's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls with smiles on their faces
He's built a pretty cage
It shows on a beautiful stage
With candy-coated prison bars and chains that look like jewellery
'Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder, there was nothing there
Now it's a long way down
On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
On and on and on he goes, dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand
On and on and on and on he goes, on and on
On and on and on and on he goes, on and on
'Cause he lives inside of fairytales and castles now
And there's room inside for false expectations and illusions
'Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder, there was nothing there
Now it's a long way down
It's a long way down
On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
On and on and on he goes, dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand
On and on and on and on he goes, on and on
On and on and on and on he goes, on and on

"Falling In"

"Falling In"


Every time I see your face
My heart takes off on a high speed chase
Now don't be scared, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in
I can't wait till tomorrow
This feeling has swallowed me whole
And know that I've lost control
This heart that I've followed
Has left me so hollow
That was then, this is now, yeah you have changed everything
Every time I see your face
My heart takes off on a high speed chase
Now don't be scared, it's only love
That we're falling in
I would never do you wrong
Or let you down or lead you on
Don't look down, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in
I'm standing in your driveway
It's midnight and I'm sideways
I have to find out if you feel the same
Won't be easy, have my doubts too
But it's over, without you I'm just lost, incomplete
Yeah you feel like home, home to me
Every time I see your face
My heart takes off on a high speed chase
Now don't be scared, it's only love
That we're falling in
I would never do you wrong
Or let you down or lead you on
Don't look down, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in
All those nights I stayed awake
Thinking of all the ways to make you mine
All of those smiles will never fade
Never run out of ways to blow my mind
Every time I see your face
My heart takes off on a high speed chase
Now don't be scared, it's only love
That we're falling in
I would never do you wrong
Or let you down or lead you on
Don't look down, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in
Don't be scared, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in

"Firing Squad"

"Firing Squad"


Early morning rain crashing upon
My rooftop and my brain,
Woke up in my clothes
Feeling like I'm insane,
The hours pass like days
Like days

And now you're on the firing squad
I throw my hands up, I surrender
I don't want to be a fraud
I don't want to be the pretender
And I was like a lightening rod
I was always your defender
We were both right and wrong
I throw my hands up, I surrender

I see your eyes, hear your voice
Outside my window
Calling for me in a time of trouble,
And you know I'd be there
Yes you know I'd be there

And now you're on the firing squad
I throw my hands up, I surrender
I don't want to be a fraud
I don't want to be the pretender
And I was like a lightening rod
I was always your defender
We were both right and wrong
I throw my hands up, I surrender

And I stand,
And I watch
As the streetcar's rolling,
As the wind is blowing,
And there's no way of knowing now

And now you're on the firing squad
I throw my hands up, I surrender
I don't want to be a fraud
I don't want to be the pretender
And I was like a lightening rod
I was always your defender
We were both right and wrong
I throw my hands up, I surrender

"First Time"

"First Time"


We're both looking for something
We've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide
Looking at you,holding my breath,
For once in my life,I'm scared to death,
I'm taking a chance,letting you inside.
Feeling alive all over again,
As deep as the sky, under my skin
Like being in love, she says
For the first time
Maybe I'm wrong,
But I'm feeling right where I belong
With you tonight
Like being in love
To feel for the first time
The world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes
Looking at you,
Holding my breath,
For once in my life
I'm scared to death,
I'm taking a chance,
Letting you inside.
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky that's under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time
We're crashing
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But it feels like home
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky that's under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time

"Flight"

"Flight"


I've lost my balance
I fell from the trapeze
This act isn't easy

I've been under water
This storm has been raging
These nights are not sleeping
My dreams are now strangers to me

And I need you now
There's too many miles on my bones
I can't carry the weight of the world
No, not on my own

Your eyes are like lightning
Your voice is like water
This place is a desert

I've been walking in circles
I'm screaming for answers
Am I falling to pieces?
Or maybe I'm finally breaking through

I need you now
There's too many miles on my bones
I can't carry the weight of the world
No, not on my own

No more running, no more hiding
No more hurting, no more crying
No more trouble, no more sighing
No more falling, no more striving
No more heartache, no more fighting
No more fears, only flying

No more running, no more hiding
No more hurting, no more crying
No more trouble, no more sighing
No more falling, no more striving
No more heartache, no more fighting
No more fears, only flying

(No more running, no more hiding)
(No more hurting, no more crying)
Only flying

(No more trouble, no more sighing)
(No more falling, no more striving)
Only flying

(No more heartache, no more fighting)
(No more fears)
Only flying

"Fool"

"Fool"


Seems my own arrogance has knocked me off my feet again,
When you know I'm crawling to you as fast as I can
First teach me to walk and then I'll learn to dance for you,
Like an honest clumsy clown, tripping along the way
'Cause I am reaching for you but my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you, if I could go a little faster
And I am crying to you but I can't hear my own voice
And I am waiting for you and trying not to fall asleep now
'Cause I'm clumsily dancing away this fear
I'm stumbling closer to you
And I'm tumbling over my pride
I'll be a fool for you
What are you thinking as you look down on me?
Are you frustrated with my inconsistency?
Or intrigued that I can find the will to get back up,
Or maybe all of this is simply amusing
'Cause I am reaching for you but my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you, if I could go a little faster
And I am crying to you but I can't hear my own voice
And I am waiting for you and trying not to fall asleep now
And I'm clumsily dancing away this fear
I'm stumbling closer to you
And I'm tumbling over my pride
I will be a fool
And I'm clumsily dancing away this fear
I'm stumbling closer to you
And I'm tumbling over my pride
I'll be a fool for you
And I'm clumsily dancing away this fear
I'm stumbling closer to you
And I'm tumbling over my pride
I'll be a fool for you

"From Where You Are"

"From Where You Are"


So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you, yeah I miss you
So far away from where you are
I'm standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here
I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here
I feel the beating of your heart
I see the shadows of your face
Just know that wherever you are
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here
I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here
So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you, yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here

"Good Enough"

"Good Enough"


It seems the more we talk, the less I have to say,
Lets put our differences aside, wanted to make you proud,
but I just got in your way, I found a place that I can hide,
Now everything is changing, but I still feel the same,
We're running out of time,
What do I have to do?
To try and make you see, that this is who I am, and it's all that I can be,
I try to find myself, looking inside your eyes, you're all that I wanted to be,
There must be something else, behind all the lies, that you wanted me to believe,
now everyone is saying, that I should find a way, to leave it all behind,
What do I have to do? to try and make you see, that this is who I am, and it's all that I can be,
What do I have to do? to try and make you see, trying to be like you,
isn't good enough for me, and I wont let you go, and I wont let you down,
and I wont give you up, don't you give up on me now, what do I have to do?
to try and make you see, that this is who I am, and
It's all that I can be,
What do I have to do? tryin to be like you, isn't good enough for me

"H2O"

"H2O"


You tried your best to bury in the ground
A place, a face, a very small town
The walls you built are crumbling down
Haunted by the shadows all around
And yeah, it was forever ago
The scars are more painful than you'll know
The ghosts in your heart are alive, spread the ashes of your father
If your angst has survived, then you're only treading water
You feel like you can never get it right
Sticks and stones have given up the fight
Cause words cut sharper than a knife
And losses become larger than life
And yeah, it was forever ago
The closer sometimes just wont stay closed
The ghosts in your heart are alive, spread the ashes of your father
If your angst has survived then you're only treading water
If you're lost in the dark then you're only treading water
Release to the wind, spread the ashes of your father
Cause you're only treading water
Release me
Let me go
Release me
Let me go
Release me
And yeah, it was forever ago
But the past has a deadly undertoe
The ghosts in your heart are alive, spread the ashes of your father
If your angst has survived, then you're only treading water
If you're lost in the dark, then you're only treading water
Release to the wind, spread the ashes of your father
'Cause you're only treading water
Yeah, you're only treading water (let me go)
You're only treading water (release me)
