Hummingbird
04:11
|
|||
She's leaving trails in the dark like a firefly
Her every move a spark you wanna amplify
You wanna bring her in and keep her safe and warm
You'll never understand, she doesn't fear the storm
She's a hummingbird, you will never learn
Her song's for her, she will never sing for you
She's a burning flame and she cannot be tamed
She's a hummingbird, you will never learn
You clip her wings, she'll just grow them back like new
She's a cannonball against a paper wall
You watch her fearless flight, the way she owns the sky
You see her razor bright, as she goes flashing by
You think to show your love, you'll keep her locked away
You'll never understand, she won't do what you say
She's a hummingbird, you will never learn
Her song's for her, she will never sing for you
She's elemental rage and she cannot be caged
She's a hummingbird, you will never learn
You clip her wings, she'll just grow them back like new
She's the rushing flood, the burning in your blood
You try and you try but you can't stop her flying
She'll fly til she dies, that's the way she is
You grip and you grip but you can't stop her slipping
Out of your grasp, that's the way she is
She's a hummingbird, you will never learn
Her song's for her, she will never sing for you
She's a burning flame and she cannot be tamed
She's a hummingbird, you will never learn
You clip her wings, she'll just grow them back like new
She's a cannonball against a paper wall
She's a hummingbird, you will never learn
Her song's for her, she will never sing for you
She's elemental rage and she cannot be caged
She's a hummingbird, you will never learn
You clip her wings, she'll just grow them back like new
She's the rushing flood, the burning in your blood
The burning in your blood.

As Shadows Fall
02:44
|
|||
As shadows creep, as shadows fall
I see your footprints, in my hall
I feel your handprints on my heart
Feel my reason torn apart
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
The darkness spills over the edge
Taste like ashes, bitter sage
Wine like blood, no place to hide
Icy fractures deep inside
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me

Super
02:37
|
|||
I was never blessed with courage, spent my life on the sidelines dreaming
'Bout a day when I'd be picked out from the crowd
But you're the one on the rollercoaster, I'm the one on the ground screaming
ah ah-ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah-ah ah ah ah ah
Superman's got a job to do, when it all goes wrong it's up to you
Wish I had a cape to wear but it wouldn't match my underwear
And I had a different story written out where I was cool
I wish that I was super just like you
Ambition's not my forte, but I'd like to hear the ringing
Of the applause that I deserve to come my way
But you're the one up on the stage, I'm the one in the crowd singing
ah ah-ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah-ah ah ah ah ah
Superman's got a job to do, when it all goes wrong it's up to you
Wish I had a cape to wear but it wouldn't match my underwear
And I had a different story written out where I was cool
I wish that I was super just like you
I wish that I was super just like you
Ooooh
Superman's got a job to do, when it all goes wrong it's up to you
Wish I had a cape to wear but it wouldn't match my underwear
And I had a different story written out where I was cool
I wish that I was super just like you
I wish that I was super just like you

Faded and Foolish
03:48
|
|||
I lost my alibi when I came here again
I stand at your door undecided in the rain
I'm here looking in, don't know how to begin to explain
The stories we shared made me think that you cared
Now I'm standing alone feeling faded and foolish
I'm here in the night, won't you ask me inside to explain?
Those times, they were bright and I grew in your light
Now I stand in the dark feeling faded and foolish
I lost my way home when my compass spun astray
Now I'm here at your door, please don't send me on my way
I'm here looking in, don't know how to begin to explain
The stories we shared made me think that you cared
Now I'm standing alone feeling faded and foolish
I'm here in the night, won't you ask me inside to explain?
Those times, they were bright and I grew in your light
Now I stand in the dark feeling faded and foolish
All that I want is to walk in the sun like the rain never came
All that I need is to go back in time to where nothing has changed
I lost my alibi when I came here again
I'm still at your door undecided in the rain
I'm here looking in, don't know how to begin to explain
The stories we shared made me think that you cared
Now I'm standing alone feeling faded and foolish
I'm here in the night, won't you ask me inside to explain?
Those times, they were bright and I grew in your light
Now I stand in the dark feeling faded and foolish

Wolf Among the Flock
02:44
|
|||
I've turned a corner, now I understand
You're just a shadow of a broken man
You hide in darkness but I bring the light
Drag your corruption out and into sight
You are revealed, you're the wolf among the flock
The pretender to the throne, in a crowd but all alone
You are revealed, the pretty cuckoo in the nest
In stolen feathers flashing gold, but your heart is stone and cold
Your impotence is equalled by your lies
Your shallow, wooden soul and hollow eyes
But I have come too far to let you win
My mind's my own and I won't let you in
You are revealed, you're the wolf among the flock
The imposter to the throne, in a crowd but all alone
You are revealed, the pretty cuckoo in the nest
In stolen feathers flashing gold, but your heart is stone and cold
You might have thought you'd find redemption in my eyes
But I'm sad to say it doesn't work that way
You burned the bridge, now there's no turning back
You can't outrun your crime, you're running out of time
You are revealed, you are the wolf among the flock
The pretender to the throne, in a crowd but all alone
You are revealed, the pretty cuckoo in the nest
In stolen feathers flashing gold, but your heart is stone and cold
You are revealed, you are the wolf among the flock
The farmer's coming with her gun
The farmer's coming with her gun

Roses
04:22
|
|||
Where did the roses go, they used to grow in your heart
So beautiful and red like blood
The trees dropped their leaves, now they're bare and diseased in the dark
There's nothing here for us anymore
There's nothing here for us anymore
Time moves on, so do we
Like the seasons, like the sea
And I try to forget
The look in your eyes, the taste of regret
Cause there's no turning back now
It's too late now
Who let the winter in, icy and frozen inside
So bittersweet and blue like pain
The sun went away with no reason to stay in the sky
We didn't have time for goodbye
No, no, no, no, we didn't have time for goodbye
Time moves on, so do we
Like the seasons, like the sea
And I try to forget
The look in your eyes, the taste of regret
Cause there's no turning back now
It's too late now
Oh there's no turning back now,
It's too late now
Now my coffee is cold, and I feel so old
And I'm tired of starting again
I'll find my way home but I'll do it alone
I'm too tired of starting again
So tired of starting again
Time moves on, so do we
Like the seasons, like the sea
And I try to forget
The look in your eyes, the taste of regret
There's no turning back now
It's too late now
Time moves on, so do we
Like the seasons, like the sea
And I try, I try to forget
The look in your eyes, the taste of regret
There's no turning back now
It's too late now
There's no turning back now
It's too late now
It's too late now

Believe
03:38
|
|||
I can't believe you when you tell me there's no sunrise
Just rotations of the planet and an orbit counter-clockwise
I can't believe you when you say there is no heaven
Just a vacuum stretching into space from here until forever
The glitter turns to ashes with each year passing by
And we hide in the shadows, we've forgotten how to fly
We're digging deep for miracles and only finding mud
There's no magic anymore since we grew up
I don't believe you when you tell me there's no reason
Just a sequence of coincidences leading to the seasons
I don't believe you when you say there's nothing new to find
No mysteries or powers that we haven't yet defined
The glitter turns to ashes with each year passing by
And we hide in the shadows, we've forgotten how to fly
We're digging deep for miracles and only finding mud
There's no magic anymore since we grew up
I wish I could turn back time
Things were so much simpler back when I was a child who believed
I wish I could turn back time
And lose this ageing cynicism, the world was amazing when I believed
Glitter turns to ashes with each year passing by
And we hide in the shadows, we've forgotten how to fly
We're digging deep for miracles and only finding mud
There's no magic anymore since we grew up
The glitter turns to ashes with each year passing by
And we hide in the shadows, we've forgotten how to fly
We're digging deep for miracles and only finding mud
There's no magic anymore since we grew up

Lifeboat
03:34
|
|||
I look in the mirror, clean the mascara off my face
I want to be clearer, want to disappear without a trace
I stand in your shadow, looking at everything but you
Try to untangle all of the things I thought I knew
I can't save you, I can barely save myself,
This lifeboat ain't big enough for both of us
I'm on my knees, you're the weight that's crushing me
I need to let you go
You keep dragging me under, I can't help but wonder
If you ever loved me at all
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself
Your sky is falling, the house you build crumbles brick by brick
But still you keep stalling, unable to commit to twist or stick
I'm lost in your shadow, looking for a way to find the light
But everything's hollow, there'll be no answers here tonight
I can't save you, I can barely save myself,
This lifeboat's not big enough for both of us
I'm on my knees, you're the weight that's crushing me
I need to stand and fight
You keep dragging me under, I can't help but wonder
Why I let you waste my time
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself
I'm gonna let this lifeboat take me
Where you can't reach and you can't break me
I won't come back and you can't make me
Cause baby I'm free
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself
I can't save you but I'm gonna save myself

Wild Heather
03:44
|
|||
The darkness came arising, sweeping through the land
It came in with the winter and took away the man
Oooh, now the hills have lost their heart
The wild heather's bending 'neath the weight of all her tears
There will never be another in a hundred million year
Oooh, now the hills have lost their heart
Who will find him where he's gone?
The darkness came arising, and the wild heather tried
With all her might to save him from the cold and bitter tide
Oooh, now the hills have lost their heart
Who will find him where he's gone?
Who will wake him with a song?
The darkness came arising, sweeping through the land
It came in with the winter and took away the man
Oooh, now the hills have lost their heart
Oooh, now the hills have lost their heart
Oooh, now the hills have lost their heart

Burn
03:49
|
|||
Running on empty, running out of time
Dancing on the edge of a state of mind
I've been playing with fire cause I never learn
So won't you stand back and watch me
Burn, burn
Feed the fire and fan the flame
I bare my soul and I'm whole again
Open my heart and scorch it clean
Feel the furnace beneath my skin
Fan the flame and feed the fire
Take my voice and lift it higher
I was lost but now I'm found
Running over higher ground
Running on empty, running out of time
Dancing on the edge of a state of mind
I've been playing with fire cause I never learn
So won't you stand back and watch me
Burn, burn
Feed the fire and fan the spark
Look for a glimmer in the dark
Strip me naked to the bone
Raw and wounded, lead me home
Fan the spark and feed the fire
Let the whirlwind lift me higher
Hook the barbs into my heart
Pray I won't be torn apart
Running on empty, running out of time
Dancing on the edge of a state of mind
I've been playing with fire cause I never learn
So won't you stand back and watch me
Burn, burn
Running on empty, running out of time
Dancing on the edge of a state of mind
I've been playing with fire cause I never learn
So won't you stand back and watch me
Burn, burn, burn, burn

Tiny Hands
02:39
|
|||
Tiny hands make the biggest plans all across the lands
Build the biggest wall, make it nice and tall (and solar powered)
Tiny hands have a tiny heart, and that other part
Isn't there at all, don't you feel small?
Don't try to tell me you're superman
You're just a fascist with a wandering eye and some evil plans
Don't try to tell me that you're gonna save the world
With the button under the finger of your tiny hand
Tiny hands that are cold as ice, they don't feel nice
Keep them far away, there's no need for them to stray, no
Tiny hands think they're tiny gods and against the odds, oooh
They're gonna save the day, well I'm sorry to say
No-one believes that you're superman
You're just a fascist with a wandering eye and some evil plans
No-one believes that you're gonna save the world
With the button under the finger of your tiny hand
The button under the finger of your tiny, doll-like hand
Tiny hands that are putrid orange
What a shame. There's no rhyme for orange.
