I don’t want to wait
For better days
Our hardships shape us
Our challenges make us
Now’s the time to dream
Believe in love and everything in between, in between
Hold on to
The light inside of you
Fight back the pain
It won’t always feel the same
I’m not giving in
To the way I’m feeling
Failure won’t break us
It just likes to shake us
Now I’m stronger than before
Can’t ignore the past
But I can want for more
Hold on to
The light inside of you
Fight back the pain
It won’t always feel the same

Passing Ships
03:07
|
|

A year has elapsed
Already and I hardly saw the last
I’m just a passenger
Moving through indefinable days
That all start and end the same
I get up and I go to bed
Don’t feel like I achieve anything
And I miss you
It feels like days since we met
We’re just passing ships in the night
Just passing ships in the night
I don’t know when and I don’t know why
We ever decided to put up the fight
I don’t know where our quality of life lies now
This is no way to live
Counting the hours and counting the days
Until finally we manage to escape
These indefinable days
That all start and end the same

Blueprint
03:50

|

I feel thin
Rolling between the sheets
Of a rusty, dusty skin
I’m shedding extra weight
Just thinking about the pain you left
Written in the blueprints
Etched upon my mind
Written in the unmoving, uncaring depths of time
I know love is bittersweet
These foundations shake beneath my feet
But darling without you I feel incomplete
I’m incomplete, I’m out of touch
I’m incomplete, without your love
I’m an emaciated mess
There’s nothing to caress
I’m smothered by the covers
Of your picturesque outlines
How I’d like to be within your arms tonight
I know love is bittersweet
These foundations shake beneath my feet
But darling without you I feel incomplete
I know love is bittersweet
These foundations shake beneath my feet
But darling without you I feel incomplete
I’m incomplete, I’m out of touch
I’m incomplete, without your love
I’m incomplete, I’m out of touch
I’m incomplete, without your love

For The One That I Love
04:41

We were so young
When we fell in love
So naïve but right to believe
Because honey you are the one
The one that I love
You spin my world right round
You lift my feet right of the ground
You make the ordinary feel less mundane
You make every day special in your own way
Darling I’ve known right from the start
You hold the key, the key to my heart
And darling I know, know you’re the one
The one that I love
The years have brought us closer
Together we’ve grown, stronger I know
Every single day and every word you say
My heart stays the same
This love is unwavering this love is unchanging
This love is unwavering this love is unchanging
This love is unwavering this love is unchanging
Because honey you are the one
The one that I love
You spin my world right round
You lift my feet right of the ground
You make the ordinary feel less mundane
You make every day special in your own way
Darling I’ve known right from the start
You hold the key, the key to my heart
And darling I know, know you’re the one
The one that I love

Tired
03:42
|
|

I’m tired of talking
All of your questions hollow me out
I’m tired of thinking
About all of the things that I think about now
Oh where were we then?
Where did it start and where did it end?
Where were we then?
I’m tired of listening
To people saying it’ll all be ok
I’m tired of hearing
The same things over and over again
I’m tired of the hurt
I’m tired of the pain
I’m tired of the hurt
I’m tired of the pain
Oh where were we then?
Where did it start and where did it end?
Where were we then?
I’m tired of the hurt
I’m tired of the pain
Tired of it all
Tired of this game
I’m tired of the hurt
I’m tired of the pain

English Rogue
04:00

|

A sheet of darkness crawled across the land
You stepped forward like an honourable man
This isn’t fate, this is disgraceful
This isn’t the life that you were made for
I won’t forget you, I won’t let you go
I won’t forget you, my English rogue
I’ll be dancing in the shadows that you left behind
I’ll be living on your memory until the end of time
I remember wedding bells and the touch of your hand
Within an instant war shattered all our plans
We held our heads high, took it on the chin
This isn’t the world I dreamed we’d be living in
I won’t forget you, I won’t let you go
I won’t forget you, my English rogue
I hope you’ll be home soon sharing my warm embrace
I pray to the darkness you’ll live to see my face
You’re fghting for our lives, you’re fghting for our rights
You’re fghting for our lives, you’re fghting for our rights
I won’t forget you, I won’t let you go
I won’t forget you, my English rogue

We're Not Perfect
05:11
|
|

It’s easy to say that we’ll be better people some day
It’s easy to believe we’ll love each other more
When we’re happy, when we’re happy
How I’d like to believe
We’re not perfect
Let’s not pretend
I am violent in my silence
You are angry when you smile at me
This is dangerous, I’m contagious
All our anger will degrade us
This is not how I want this to end
Pent up hate, carry on for the sake of it
This is not how I want this to end
Pent up hate, carry on for the sake of it
This is not how I want this to end
Pent up hate, carry on for the sake of it
We must change
We can’t stay the same
We’re not perfect
Lets not pretend
I am violent in my silence
You are angry when you smile at me
This is dangerous I’m contagious
All our anger will degrade us
This is dangerous, I’m contagious
All our anger will degrade us
We must change

Home
02:22

All I want is to be at home
In your arms all alone
Where the universe feels so small
Inside these loving walls
Every worry and every chore
Can wait a minute more
All I want is to be with you
All alone in our living room
Where all the stars look so small
Because our love is so much more
All I want is to be at home
In your arms all alone

Disappear
04:42
|
|

I feel like I might just disappear
No one even seems to notice I’m here
I’m not being morbid, I just call it as I see
There’s no room here now for me
I cooked your dinners and I made your bed
I raised your children and I praised your success
I ironed your shirts whilst swallowing my regrets
Without value I stand here, hollow on the inside
About to disappear
I feel like I could just slip away
Out of the back door when no one’s looking one day
Through all the commotion you’d never even know
I am just a vessel, but I’m hollow
I made your lunches and I rocked you to sleep
I tied your shoelaces and told you the world was at your feet
I made sacrifices in your best interest
Without purpose I stand here, hollow on the inside
About to disappear

Don't Let Go
03:45

|

I’ve never seen you so broken to the bone
Breathing pain in and out with every breath
Like a feather being ground against a stone
Crushed by the weight of what’s left
It will get harder and the harder it gets
I will hold you closer so you don’t forget
Don’t let go
You’re the only one who knows
Don’t let go
You’re the only one who knows
I’ve never seen you so broken to the bone
Breathing pain in and out with every breath
It will get harder and the harder it gets
I will hold you closer so you don’t forget
Don’t let go
You’re the only one who knows
Don’t let go
You’re the only one who knows
Don’t let go
Don’t let go
You’re the only one who knows
You’re the only one who knows
