Never Let Me Down
03:09
|
|||
|
I think I’m drifting
Between the head and the heart
How do I know that is you?
Oh I’m listening
For the faintest of thoughts
I know you hear me
And I’ve seen
And I’ve heard
Hanging on to your words
And I’m not going to stop
As if you’d ever let me down
And I feel
I can hear
That you want me to know
You can never let me down
Never let me down
From the start
To the end
Oh I know this is real
You can never let me down
I was drowning in the cycle of doubt
Trying to figure it out
Don’t want to fake it
But there is light in the dusk
Light in my dusk
This is where I grow
In the silence
Tuning out my voice
As if you’d ever let me
Slip in to the cracks
Because you know

Bright Heart
03:32
|
|||
|
I was searching
Even though I could be found
On the coastlands
In the corners of the dust of my mind
I knew the religion
Every line, dot, phrase and code
Even dressed for redemption
Yet a part of my heart had closed, down, down, down, down
You reached out your hand
From the highest of heavens
You reach out where fingers collide
Bright hands, Bright heart
You reached out your hand
From the highest of heavens
You’ve come in, you’ve turned my head
Bright hands, Bright heart
And in the suppression
When faith lies in hospitals
When holding on is hurting
When walking away seems the only hope
I knew somewhere you were
There longing for me to see
But somehow my mindset
Needed climbing over or breaking down
This is why they say
Your love, love, love is better than life
This is why they say
Your love, love, love is better than life
I’ve tasted the dream
I’ve been to the edge and I’ve dived in
This is why they say
Your love, love, love is better than life

You Know/ I Know
04:10
|
|||
|
This is, sometimes this is all I know
Sometimes this is all I’ve got
But it is, all that I will ever need
Someone who will stand beside me
Someone who loves me better than I do myself
And I know
I know, I know, you know, I know
You will never leave
Your hand upon my head
My heart upon your sleeve
I’ve never been like this, no, no
Never been like this before
Never been like this
Fixes, where the pieces have become
Sometimes irretrievable
But you walk and touch with supernatural
Someone who will stand beside me
Someone who calls out of me the better life, better life, better life
Realise it’s one day at a time
Holding your hand along the way
I know somedays I get it so wrong
But I’ve not found a fuller love
In truth you found me before
So oh hey!
And you come in close
And you close each eye
And you come in close
Colour up my mind

Bitterness
04:18
|
|||
|
This root of bitterness
Has so many flavours
So many flavours
These thoughts of judgement
Wear so many colours
So many colours
Sometimes I don’t know
Which tongue is tasting
Each one has elements
Of each of my failings
Sometimes I don’t know
Throw my hands up to the air
I won’t let it get, get rooted
That root of ugliness
I’ve tugged and I’ve pulled it
Tried to remove it
But you can’t leave me there
It’s not in your nature
You won’t confuse me
I won’t let it get, get rooted
Or tell me that ooooh I’m loosing
I won’t let it get, get rooted
Or tell me that ooooh I’m loosing
I won’t let it get, get rooted
Won’t let it get, get rooted
I’ll distinguish the lies,
Extinguish fires that
want to take over
I’m not listening to whispers
I will dig down deep, I know You
Want to take over
Take, take, over
Take, take, over

Down Down
03:37
|
|||
|
I held too firm, creased my hands
And couldn’t see
Was blinded by
The immensity
You say let go of every dream
The tiny seed
Let it die
Then go, bury it tonight
So underground
Is where I lay it down
Deep underground
So down, down, down, down I go
A seed into the unknown
Down, down, down I go
[Deep underground]
I’ve been caught too long, resenting things
I didn’t think should
Happen to me (happen to me)
But I can’t keep swallowing those bitter pills
The tree that grows
Each root, leaf and branch
Tangled round and round my heart
What they did doesn’t justify
What they said about you can’t be taken back
But somewhere deep deep inside of all of us (I know, I know)
I can forgive
I can let go

Not An Island
03:42
|
|||
|
We are, we are, Oh
We are, we are, Oh
Not an island, no oh oh
Everybody knows
I’ve been down the road of the narrow minded
I’ve made choices that have hurt the ones I love
I’ve touched the limits of isolation
Everybody knows, we’re not meant to be like this
We’re not meant to be this
You’ve been closing doors that should be wide open
Trying to protect your heart from being unloved
You’ve learnt to numb the separation
Everybody knows, we’re not meant to be like this
We’re not meant to be this
Not gonna hold back, gonna stand firm
On the lessons we’ve learned
Linked by the past and the memories made
From our better days
We’ve come to the end of ourselves
We’ve come to the end of ourselves

Minor Land
03:33
|
|||
|
I was living in the minor land
Filled with pity for my tiny plans
Held in place by the fear of man
No escape, no escape
I was standing on the cliff of doubt
Not a day that I could make it out
My ponderings were wandering
They took me to the ledge and back
Then you blew
From the four corners of the world
Then you moved
Like a hurricane
Running through the muddy planes
Oh I’ve seen you
I knew you would you come
Oh I’ve seen you
I knew you would run
Oh come come run away
Run run run away
Come run run away
Run away with me
I decided that I’d make a break
Throw my neck to the wind and rain
Climbing down to the stoney shore
Hear your voice calling
Fainter to louder, fainter to louder, fainter to louder
Til louder was a shouter
And when they push me down
I’ll remember that minor land
And when they put me down
I’ll remember that minor land
And when they push me down
I’ll remember that minor land
And when they push me down
I’ll remember that minor land

Young
04:29
|
|||
|
When I was young
I thought that perfection was possible
When I was young
I dreamed I could make it all happen
When I was younger
The world seemed to be so so simple
Simple
This songs for those
Who can’t lift their heads above the pillow
This songs for those
Who live in a constant present pain
This song I’ll sing
Cos sometimes you can’t seem to utter words
Utter words
Crossword puzzle
Mending that muddle
Again and again and again
My feelings are teasing
Emotions are feeding
An empty and fragile skin
When I had fire
To play with, to burn things, to watch at night
When I had fire
Inside me I couldn’t contain
I long for fire
To keep me dancing to the end
To the end

Envy
03:57
|
|||
|
I don’t want to get caught up in the middle
Don’t want to think these thoughts
That pull, pull others down
I see where I’ve been treading lately
And I’m not proud
Oh envy get behind me
Jealousy don’t walk beside me
I wash my hands of your control
Wash my hands of your control
Oh I don’t want to be living in a glass house
Of comparison
One day I’m up
One day I am down
So keep my head level and humbly
Stay the course, run the race, even paced
Live on knees
Breathe and be
Held in hands
Know I’m loved
Almightily

Stairway
03:15
|
|||
|
Standing in the eye of the storm
I feel nothing while the world
is tearing apart, apart
Don’t know how I got to this place
Wanna run But you say I’m going no-where
You stole the stairway up to my heart
And I’m helpless
But I’m hounding you
With my heart
My heart
I’ll get up and wake up from my sleep
Cos I was getting way too comfortable
This ain’t the place to decide my fate
Don’t hold me closer and then forget
Don’t hold me now and then regret
Cos you stole the stairway up to my heart

Surrender
04:33
|
|||
|
When all around me
Is sinking
Should you have told me
That this is open water?
Feeling the pull pull
Further and further out
Feeling the pull pull
To come closer
Surrender! Surrender!
Come closer
Draw near and
Be still now
Surrender!
When I first jumped in
The freedom feeling
Took me high as a kite
But the surging winds blew me down
Back to the waters
Further and further out
Feeding the waters
No boat to pull me out
Lately I’ve
Got caught up
In Living
Each day as it comes
Lately I’ve
Seen so much more
Healing ss stones
Lifts off my heart
Lately I’ve
Desperately been
Hungry for more
Of the One
He moves beyond the world
Tuning my thoughts and words
Hearing the movements of my heart

Being Honest
07:50
|
|||
|
I am waking up
In the orchard of our dreams
It hasn’t been easy
We haven’t been friends for a while
I will turn my back
On the things I’ve done
That have made you disappear
You haven’t been first, for a while
I could I could
blame it on the weather
Blame it on the plan
I could, I could
Blame it on my job
Blame the other man
I could, I could
Gather up my stones
Hurl them at you
But if I lay a single finger
I’m hurting me too
I can see the light
And it doesn’t burn my eyes
For the first time in a long time
I’m walking out from the shadows
You twist your head
Turn your heart to my face
Your independent smile
Tells me we can be friends again
I’m being honest
I’m being honest
I’m being honest
Right with you now
I’m being honest
I’m being honest
I’m being honest
Right here now
