1. INTRODUCTION

(Instrumental)


2. THINGS TOO VISIBLE TO SEE

Start over clean and just empty this plate
Sweep up the guilt and learn to survive
Because when it ends,
You won't be alive

Would you notice,
If these eyes where closed?
Cause from every direction comes someone's objection
(Someone's objection)
This is wearing thin,
We all just see white
Nothing more beautiful,
Beautiful than this
Beautiful,
Beautiful than this

And pretend that what is known does not exist
And you will find a light that shined so long ago
I've been shadowed
They hold silhouettes over my head
Pretend that what is known does not exist

Sailing alone around the room never seemed best
Sailing alone around the room
Sailing alone around the room never seemed best

Sailing alone around the room never seemed best
Sailing alone around the room
Sailing alone around the room never seemed best


3. IT MUST BELONG SOMEWHERE

This place feels so surreal
Am I alive?
Alive?
(Am I Alive?)
Her perfume fills the room but will it die?
Die?
(Will this die?)

I never been the one to hold something for so long
(As you dig in my soul...)
It must belong somewhere
It must have some sort of grasp on me
(It gets clearer...)

I need to fill your lungs
Don't let this light go out
We can't let this take us
We can't let this take us
It won't be long

I've seen this place before
I've been here before
But why do I not know my way
(And for you I'd do anything...)
(Just let me be your world...)

I need to fill your lungs
Don't let this light go out
We can't let this take us
We can't let this take us
It won't be long

It won't be long
Don't let this go out


4. RESET, REFLECT

I'm in too deep to know that I'm not alone
This is not my escape.
So many times before we'd go along
These words are weakening
I won't look back on these feelings I can't ignore
(We'd go along)

My presence stays but the truth remains
A reflection of what I used to see
A chance to separate the lines
Dear god,
Can't you see my hands reaching out?
Take me!
I'm barely breathing now
This is what I've been searching for all along
This light grows faint as I persist
With no direction to go
To keep me alive
To keep me alive

I'm in too deep to know that I'm not alone
This is not my escape.
So many times before we'd go along
These words are weakening
I won't look back on these feelings I can't ignore
(We'd go along)

And now I find myself so indifferent
We have no attachments
No attachments

No
No
Well,
Does it phase me?
No
We need to find my way home
I find it in your eyes

Just one more night
Just one more night
We have to keep this moving
Keep this moving
Just one more night
Just one more night
To find my own way home
My own way home
To find my way


5. SAILING ALONE

Arise now we've burned the villages
We've burned the villages and left them empty
Sing now we carry in our lungs:
The hearts of millions, but will we hear them?


6. AS IF EVERYTHING WAS HELD IN PLACE

I'm in too deep to know that I'm not alone
This is not my escape.
So many times before we'd go along
These words are weakening
I won't look back on these feelings I can't ignore
(We'd go along)

My presence stays but the truth remains
A reflection of what I used to see
A chance to separate the lines
Dear god,
Can't you see my hands reaching out?
Take me!
I'm barely breathing now
This is what I've been searching for all along
This light grows faint as I persist
With no direction to go
To keep me alive
To keep me alive

I'm in too deep to know that I'm not alone
This is not my escape.
So many times before we'd go along
These words are weakening
I won't look back on these feelings I can't ignore
(We'd go along)

And now I find myself so indifferent
We have no attachments
No attachments

No
No
Well,
Does it phase me?
No
We need to find my way home
I find it in your eyes

Just one more night
Just one more night
We have to keep this moving
Keep this moving
Just one more night
Just one more night
To find my own way home
My own way home
To find my way


7. BECOMING CLOSER TO CLOSER

Drawn to lines which fill the emptiness
Searching for a place
(The conversations)
(Well,)
(They start to turn...)
To heal the wounds

Don't fall asleep,
Don't fall asleep
We can't afford you to be alone!
Don't fall asleep,
Don't fall asleep

These dreams and the reality never seemed so refined
Until I awoke to find...

(That this house is not a home)
(But something I can not define)

Don't fall asleep,
Don't fall asleep
We can't afford you to be alone!
Don't fall asleep,
Don't fall asleep

How long will it be
Until I turn this key and just walk away
Just walk away
((And this I find so unlike me))
Seeking the parts that are lost
Never have I felt so deceived

Don't fall asleep,
Don't fall asleep
We can't afford you to be alone!
Don't fall asleep,
Don't fall asleep


8. LOST IN TRANSLATION

This is your way out of space
A fool to fall for that line
For those who hoped
You'd be everything
(Be everything)

Your quiet eyes won't sleep tonight
This is a message to the weak
And now we know,
Just who you are
Yeah,
We've all caught on

And now you're on
And now you're on

Your words run so well together
You have lost your touch,
In those you cannot trust
This is your way out of here
Girl, you need to listen up
Before I let you go

Attention!
We have stolen the hearts
Of the machines

Attention!
We have stolen the hearts

And you find yourself
So confined by those who point at you
Tear down these weights
Give it all
Just let this go

For all the times you just stood there and stared
Into my stained glass eyes
And now and now we've come to understand what makes a man a man.

Your words run so well together
You have lost your touch,
In those you cannot trust
This is your way out of here
Girl, you need to listen up
Before I let you go

Girl, you need to listen up
Before I let you go


9. I WRITE IN THE HOPES OF...

(Instrumental)


10. WEAVING THE VALUES

Everyone clears from the room but I seem to maintain posture
Is this a street sign ahead of me or a road to show the way
Cause I've learned to live with failure
And It painted such picture that I cannot speak at all
That I cannot speak at all

And may you find someone who compels you
And with these hands I can not repel you

This is such an amazing sight to see you again
That white picked face yeah I've seen what lies ached
I know what is kept at day
May find someone who comples you comples you

How can I (how can I)
How can I (how can I)
How can I find what's inside you

How can I (nothing will ever change)
How can I (how can I)
How can I find what's inside you
How can I (how can I find what's inside)
How can I (how can I find what's inside)

How can I find what's inside you find what's inside you
Tonight oh god


11. AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Living in recession.
It isolates the time that's past by.
And it feels so long.
I reach for that line I can't hold on,
I can't hold on...

I can't see what lies beneath the words.
Where have I been?
Where have I been?
Between what rests in my soul and what's given.
It will never...
It will never weigh the truth.

I WON'T GIVE UP!
THIS IS NOT WHERE I STOP!
THE TRUTH IT LIES AND THERE IS FAITH BEHIND THE FRAMES!

I have a lot riding on this.
And I can't afford to give up now.
The scene's repeating.

I have a lot riding on this.
And I can't afford to give up now.
The scene's repeating.

I Wont Give Up!
I've Come To The Conclusion That There Is No Escaping!

I have a lot riding on this.
And I can't afford to give up now.
The scene's repeating.

I Wont Give Up!
I've Come To The Conclusion That There Is No Escaping!

I told you once,
I'm not telling you again,
Secrets are kept by your men,
And I told you once,
I'm not telling you again,

When we survive,
We only pretend,
When we survive,
We only pretend,

This is the golden rule,
Keep what you have,
Coz its all we have left,
This is the golden rule,
Keep what you have,
Coz its all we have left,
This is the golden rule,
Keep what you have,
Coz its all we have left
