Emperor

I know something you don’t want to know
I saw it in the way the autumn left at the first sight of snow
So, don’t pretend you don’t see the blood
I swear I saw the emperor’s clothes
But I’ve been wrong before
(Oh)
Don’t count any loses
It’s all part of the process
(Oh)
There’s no point in pretending
We can’t author the ending
So, let go
Tracing back where we both
Chose to pass into the dark
We gained a new world
With colours so vibrant
And a peace I can feel
How could we go back to the old?
So, don’t pretend you don’t see the blood
I swear I saw the emperor’s clothes
But I’ve been wrong before
(Oh)
Don’t count any loses
It’s all part of the process
(Oh)
There’s no point in pretending
We can’t author the ending
So, let go
It’s too bad
It’s too bad
We lost it

Old World
03:54
|
|||
|
It only gets clearer
I’m alone in my head
But truth is a mirror
That only gets safer to hold
I can’t go on believing any soul
Would care enough to gain some ground
In this war
Sure, you can live a life against a wall
But I won’t
The answers were the things I feared the most
But I won’t
And I don’t.
It only gets clearer
Every part in its place
Every breath part of something
Much bigger than us
Sure, you can live a life against a wall
But I won’t
The answers were the things I feared the most
But I won’t
And I don’t.

Totem
03:18
|

|
I spent a long time looking for love
I went looking in all the wrong places
When I saw you, I knew it was real
I’ll never give up this dream we’re sharing
(Oh)
I want to be the kind of man that could deserve you
(Oh)
I want to see your face when I wake up
(Oh)
If this whole life is just a dream we’re sharing
Than what’s not real about that?
We’re driving on through these fields
Looking for somewhere to park this car
I’ve always been one with this world
I’ll always be one with you
(Oh)
I want to be the kind of man that could deserve you
(Oh)
I want to see your face when I wake up
(Oh)
If this whole life is just a dream we’re sharing
Than what’s not real about that?

December
04:14
|
|||
|
What a lonely, empty room
Without you on the walls
Your smile speaks
It sings me back to sleep
When the dark is too much,
Surround me
To hold the ending
Defeating death
We will face the end
Sooner than later I’m told
Will you meet me there?
Without you I’ll never be home
How could this matter?
It’s only water
We’ll have our answer
If we spend December alone
What an empty, hopeless life
Without love in our hearts
You know it’s true
Still, we hunt our worst fears down
Until nothing is left
Balance is lost
No second chances
No shifting blame
We will face the end
Sooner than later I’m told
Will you meet me there?
Without you I’ll never be home
How could this matter?
It’s only water
We’ll have our answer
If we spend December alone
Will we spend December alone

Connecticut
03:41
|
|||
|
You drove that hook into my cheek
And dragged me all along the beach
‘Til I was laying there alone in the sand
I had forgotten who I was
While I was choking on my blood
Still, you cover my eyes with your hands
The light has emptied from my face
You stole their years, you stole my faith
And this is all that I have left
In Connecticut
I know I’ve seen this place before
The broken windows, opened doors
They always let in the worst of us
The news, it travels through my mind
As I lose my track of time
This is it. This is all there is.
The light has emptied from my face
You stole their years, you stole my faith
And this is all that I have left
In Connecticut

Blank Stares
04:20
|
|||
|
Blank stares from eyes I know
Still tongues from mouths I trust
Seems like I caught my breath
Later than anyone would expect
The writing on the wall
Was in another tongue
I waited for so long
(Only silence)
I’m not closing my eyes anymore
I’ve spent too many years on the floor
I won’t wish for a crown anymore
No
And so we’re back where we started again
The point where truth makes us equals again
When every last excuse is spent,
It’s telling
Cold hands and colder shoulders
Do you think I can’t see through?
I would have gave my life
You haven’t felt the pain of giving it all
The writing on the wall
Was in another tongue
I waited for so long
(Only silence)
I’m not closing my eyes anymore
I’ve spent too many years on the floor
I won’t wish for a crown anymore
No
And so we’re back where we started again
The point where truth makes us equals again
When every last excuse is spent,
It’s telling
And if I drown,
It’s you that let me sink

26 Nov
02:32
|
|||
|
Living like a vapour out in open space
Still looking for an answer
I know I’m getting closer every single day
Don’t remind me
Just say it’s time
Just say it’s done
Just say it’s done

Fall Forever
04:38
|
|||
|
The greatest weight I carry
The half dream, half reality
Call me naive
I want to keep love
I lost a lot these past two years
And I’ve pushed through dark tunnels
With you,
I was never alone
With you,
I was never alone
I’m afraid of what lies at the bottom of this pit
It might not be what I expected
Can anyone fall forever?
Can anyone fall forever?
I once believed what I was told
In car rides between two homes
About this life and what comes after
The fear of God guided me on
The lighthouses have all turned to rubble now
It’s like they never were at all
Like they remained ideas on a page
That die with us
And so, we walk home alone
The great fear we all share
Far from any streetlights
We get used to that out here

Ancient Pages
03:05
|
|||
|
Ancient pages
Running through my head again
Down for too long
And we’re to blame
Guiltless children
Never coming home again
The trick is to not mind the pain
Why don’t we call it a draw?
We all know that it’s over
Some of us pray to forget
Some of us pray to remember

Highlands
04:25

|
Heaven sent
My window and the warmth I feel within
Is this it?
Is this enough?
The river bend
Fields, swallows
The only place I call my home
Feel the glow taking over
Every step in silence
Exchanging universal breath
Giving life
Take our chances
The moment is a shadow
Following my every step
I’m already home
