[edit]Hopes and Fears
[edit]- You're aching you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
since everybody's changing and I don't know why
- I felt the earth
beneath my feet
sat by the river
and it made me complete
- I know you think I'm holding you down
And I've fallen by the wayside now,
And I don't understand the same things as you
But I do
- Lonely people
Tumble downwards
And my heart opens up to you
When she says she has no time
For you now- "She Has No Time"
- The motion
keeps my heart
running- "Can't Stop Now"
- I saw you
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel I'd really love to tell you
But I
Can never find the words to say
And I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
I don't know why...- "On A Day Like Today"
- Who ate your heart?
You're cold inside
You're not the one I hoped for
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side- "Untitled 1"
Under the Iron Sea
[edit]- I need a place
That's hidden in the deep
Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
Though all the world is broken- "Atlantic"
- And why do you say
"It's just another day
Nothing in my way
I don't want to go
I don't want to stay
So there's nothing left to say?"- "Nothing in my way"
- Where will I meet my fate?
Baby I'm a man and I was born to hate
And when will I meet my end?
In a better time you could be my friend- "A Bad Dream"
- Say a word or two to brighten
My day
D'you think that you could see your way
To lay yourself down?
And make it so but you don't want to know
You take much more than I'd ever ask for...- "Hamburg Song"
- But I was made the way I am
I'm not a stone
I'm just a man
Lay down your arms
And I will lay down mine
Rip back the time that we've been wasting- "Try Again"
- Who says a river can't leave its waters?
Who says you walk in a line?
Who says a city can't change its borders?
Who says you're mine?- "Broken Toy"
- You will lie in a deep sleep
That's when your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
'Cause now we all know...- "The Frog Prince"
- is it any wonder I´m tired?
is it any wonder i feel uptight is it any wonder I don´t know what right? oh these days...after all the misery you made is it any wonder I feel afraid? Is it any wonder i feel betrayed
Perfect Symmetry
[edit]- I wish I could make sense of what we do
Burning down the capitols
The wisest of the animals
Who are you, what are you fighting for
Holy truth, brother I chose this mortal life
lived in perfect symmetry
And maybe you find, life is unkind
and over so soon
There is no golden gate
There's no heaven waiting for you
- "Perfect Symmetry"
- You can hang your hopes
On the bedsits masses
You can put your faith
In the foreign
You can tell yourself
You're doing your best
You could do so much
Better than this
- "Better than this"
- I wish that I could be
In the cellars of the sea
And disappear in them
Never to be seen again
- "Black burning heart"
- I took off my clothes and I ran to the ocean
Looking for somewhere to start anew
When I was drowning in that holy water
All I could think of was you
- "Love is the end"
- And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves
When we don't want to live alone
So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes
And be born again
- "Pretend that you're alone"
- When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling
- "Spiralling"
Night Train (EP)
[edit]- I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen such high hopess
I've never seen such tired eyes
- "Clear skies"
- In every speck of dust
In every universe
When you feel most alone
You will not be alone
- "My shadow"
- Some days, feel my soul has left my body
feel im floating high above me
like im looking down upon me
- "Stop for a minute"
- Time realign just what you got
With what you nearly had and what you want
You fall asleep and then the moment's gone
So open your eyes
- "Looking Back"
