Velvet cool night air,
Comfort me.
A phantom in memory,
All are welcome here

Feathered footsteps,
They’re pushing me forward.
While looking backwards,
Our plans are dust.

But hopelessly I know,
That everything must change.

But you will always find me here,
You will always find me where I began.

Where are you now?
I was thinking of you.

Whispers hold me,
Pull me under.

Our lives shifted,
Time is drifting.
Faces fading,
The light is failing on us,
For us.

Your pictures helped me,
Softly, I am sad to accept,
I will never understand why,
You and I drifted so far apart.

Where were you?

How’s the time so silently,
Slipped away from your own grasp?
Your tired, weathered hands,
Clutch at what you cannot face.

Nothing dark to fear my friend,
As scarlet turned to sunken cold.
We were with you all the way,
As you were with me, always.

Bring me hope and bring me poise,
Mind the way you carry on.
Legacies will always burn,
Brighter than you’ve ever known.

There’s really been no way to know,
When it’s been our time to go.
As moments flash before my eyes,
Crystal clear and sharp as knives.

When everything is said and it is done,
We will be the setting sun.
You’ll never have to be alone,
Free at last, we’re coming home.

We’re coming home.

One day this sky will be yours,
The sun leads the way.
One day all this will be yours,
Nothing stands in our way.

These wings, I built them for you.
The father’s only son.
One single purpose remains:
Steel yourself, we’re going home.

Spread your wings and don’t look down.

One day this sky will be yours.

Flying, soaring, drifting,
Why am I falling?
Steel yourself, we’re going home.

Spread your wings and don’t look down.
Save yourself, you’re tumbling down.

One day this sky will be yours.

The light is always warmer in our ever darker spaces.
Let silence never falter and the stars belie no traces.

Do watch over us.
Do guide me home.
Are lights approaching?
Radiating the same way, outward.

Somewhere our answers lie,
Buried within an ocean of a million lives.
Breath slows down and and our hearts race on,
Ever still.

We free fall to oblivion,
And all these precious moments,
Still live among the brave night sky,
Everlasting.

If all we ever wanted, everlasting in this twilight,
Was all we ever needed,
When it’s over, would you be there?

Always.

So we’re running to the sound of angels,
In a never ending sea of light.
Exposure to our perfect dawn,
Is ever feeling.

If all we ever wanted, everlasting in this twilight,
Was all we ever needed,
When it’s over, would you be there?

Always.

Somewhere out there, where are you?
Don’t you fear. Though I had to stay,
This fire still burns in the dark.
Soon you’re home, and I’ll breathe again.

And I don’t mind these lonely times.
There’s light to see at the end.

Still I miss you in my life.
Though stars still burn through us all.

You’ll stay strong, somewhere out there.
I don’t mind. I’ll try to cope.

And you’ll stay strong, somewhere out there.

We never asked for much, too wired like the drones.
All our variations were stripped away from home.

So steal emotions from the darkest places here.
Just store it all away, but it doesn’t feel the same.

This doesn’t feel the same today.

Find me, stop me.
Save us, destroy me.

Still all our hopes will see us through,
And on the other side I will find you.

So graft these wings today upon my lowly soul.
If it fits on me then God help us all.

Find me, stop me.
Save us, destroy me.

Something here just doesn’t feel right,
Beneath the surface we called home.
Out of sight and in the dark – well, are you unafraid?

So while the sun lives through you, so far away.
I am not afraid.

Catch me if you can.
Lift me away from here.
Catch me if you can.
Stop me if I’m on fire.

Break me down and put me together.

So while the sun lives through you, so far away.
I am not afraid.

Are you not afraid?

It’s over now.
It’s all burned out.
At last – now we know. All must end.

We scored the earth then we broke the sky.
Now it ends, once and for all.

Steel yourself, we’re going home.

The light starts to fade and the darkness grows near,
In a world without limits we’re watching right here.
The glow in the distance draws ever on closer,
As the end calls our name we’d all hoped for the answer.

We’ve all had to change but it’s not been for the bad.
When all of these fears were all that we had.

We set fire to the sky but no lines have been drawn.
So we all burn the same and we’re ashes by dawn.

We’re all ashes by dawn.

You’re angry now. We understand. So let it go.
You’re in this with me,
And the mess that we made,
Steals the life from all.

When all our fears have disappeared into the dark,
That we’ll never know,
These lights will burn on.
And I’m still here with you.

I’m finding it hard to breathe
How did I end up here?
Standing on the edge of the world
Touch the sky, and stave the fall

You are not alone

Before we reach the hour
Let me have this moment
Of absolute clarity

I won’t let you down
I won’t let you fail
As we fall through the sun
And we are falling through the sun

I won’t let you down
I won’t let you burn
As we fall through the sun
And we are falling through the sun

Blessed by the company of those
You swore you’d never let them go
And in the face of overwhelming odds
Love will finally conquer all somehow

This final truth
It keeps me, it haunts me
Look what it’s done to me
Alone in this field of lights
We were abandoned, we may be broken
Yet still we burn so bright

For a single moment there
I thought I found myself once more
Standing where it all began
We broke the earth and stole the sun

When all of this is said and done
The end is where we are right now

Time slips away
What have I done?

You took all of the pieces
And cast them to the stars
If you don’t believe in miracles, then
When you stand before your deity
With your head in your hands
And all you have is ruined
Who am I to judge you?

You said it all along
You don’t know where you’re heading
Down

What’s done is done and will never
Be the same again

You broke down the barrier
You swore you’d never cross
I’m sorry that you made it
So sorry for your loss

And we can be insensitive sometimes
And we all make mistakes sometimes

You took all of the pieces
And cast them to the stars
If you don’t believe in miracles, then
When you stand before your deity
With your head in your hands
And all you have is ruined
Who am I to judge you?
What am I to you?

A wash of fire strips your soul
It picks away the difference of us all
Reborn amongst the ashes of your past
And all is as it should be here
Yeah all is as it should be now
So

How can you say
We’re not the same?
We feared the signs
We are alive
But in your eyes I am saved
So don’t you feel the same way too?

Stand your ground
Don’t tear your expectations down
They’ll strip you bare
Then they’ll eat you alive
They’ll bury you alive

But even after everything
I’ve seen how this story ends
So don’t turn back now

I’m losing my grip on whatever may come
My fingers are slipping and cut to the bone
Seems what was forward is running on backwards
Want to look up but I seem to fall
Down

I am here
You are dreaming
I am gone

I am saved
You will be too

Goodbye

Gone further still
I’ll keep searching
Inhaling your light
It’s always the same

Forced all your worries
Caught in the glow
You’ll keep on dreaming
Always

My confidante, hear me now
You’ve changed me in ways
I’m only starting to understand
For once I’ve seen you

You stole my heart and broke me down
Cast out the worst but left me whole
You stole my breath, then cut my soul
I want this
You complete me

You stole my heart then cut my soul
Cast out the worst
You complete me

For what remains
In all of us
If we’re not the same
If we’re not the same way anymore?

For what remains
Of all of us
If I couldn’t change
If I couldn’t change anything

For what remains
If we’re not the same
For what remains
If I never change?

All our dreams are turning up roses
A busy night again
Constants shifting all around
Pulsing to the collective rhythm
As I lie awake

Awake to the sight of a Sunday afternoon
Result of a time spent gazing at the sky
With crimson shadows falling across the floor
Light rising from whence it came to rest

Alive for the moments when the world isn’t listening
Stay or go, a picture says more than words could say

So hurry up and make your choice
Know you’ll always be beautiful in my eyes
Blind sunrays kissing single moments
We don’t have nearly enough time to savour this

Aurora

We’re alone at last and watching light form beyond the sky
You take the glass, drink to the sight of countless angels

Daylight calling, the pulse of life coursing through our veins
The world’s alive

I’m gonna collapse beneath the stars
Then I’m gonna blame it on the time
Half past life and I’m still shaking
We’ll keep on stumbling until the end
And we won’t look back

Don’t look back

But I don’t regret anything
And I just don’t understand
But I’ll keep on wondering

And I won’t look back
Just don’t look back

Somehow I knew this day was coming
Time to go I guess
Alone here in silence
Guess there’s nothing left to say but

Don’t fight the fact
No-one comes home
Just face the truth
You’re on your own

You’re on your own

We waved goodbye on the open road
Said farewell and now
I’m staggering randomly at 4am
And God I miss you

But whatever, I hope you’re having fun
Wherever the hell you are
If I knew it would be this hard
Would I still try?

Don’t fight the fact
No-one’s coming home
Just face the truth
You’re on your own

You’re on your own

Can you feel your heartbeat
Can you hear that sound
Can you spread the daylight
Could you turn around

Can you sense the breathing
Can you live this time
Can you feel this light
It’s inside us all

Least of all I figure
We stay young and proud
Growing up forever
It’s just not my style

Picking scars together
Busy lives unrest
Close to call to consider
Angels in denial

That’s the devil in the details
Empty and alone

Yet
Still you feel your heartbeat
Still you hear that sound
Can you sense the light
Within us all

Still you feel each second
Slipping from us all
Still you feel this time
But do you feel at all

(Angels in disguise)

Do you feel at all

I am falling
And I am fading
I am sinking
And yet I’m breathing

If I’m talking
Then I am losing
And if we’re thinking
Then are we living at all

I am falling

It’s a pretense defined by six long years
In the absense of all your hopes and fears
Since we cannot see the light through all our tears
And I cannot see the ground
And I cannot see the ground from way up here

Friend, are you with me?
To the end.

Our faith is a constant,
Where I stand.
Where we land.

So call to the silence,
Let it in.
You breathe it in.

So friend, are you with me?
To the end.

From isolation comes the shame
When feelings rage, mistakes are made
For out of fear we can’t sustain
From out of nothing we remain

Further apart
And still the same
Further apart we remain

From out of nowhere
You came
