Beating Hearts
04:23

1) these days i dont even feel my fingers
these days i dont even feel misplaced
our fire burned so bright once
the flame is almost gone
the engine is almost empty
we need to burn on
2) we fought like knights in shiny armour
we slaughter lives on battle gournds
we cut each others arms like cattle
we march in silence on our own
this ocean is so deep now
its full of monsters too
im so scared for your life now
and that other life too
3) we are blind dancers in an alley
we mislead each other in the dark
we should be holding hands at midnight
we should be beating hearts at dawn
but we're driven, driven creatures
we cannot help but long
we should be links in a chain now
we should be holding strong
4) we could b so much more than we are
we could be so much more than this
we are more than the sum of our parts
we are so much stronger than we think
we carry human frailty
but never get too far
sometimes we catch glimpses
of who we really are

1) and now there's loving you
with all my heart loving you
i never thought we'd make it through
i miss my lonelyness
my island named lonelyness
it's still out there in the northern sea
Bridge
i know you sail out there too
while i look out for you
oh i know you need it too
i do too, oh
2) love is a fairytale
recounted in record sales
it's pink and bright and sometimes blue
and underneath it all
it can't be chained at all
it moves and changes everyday
bridge
and sometimes it breaks the cage
lashes out and makes us rage
comes back and wraps us in
and we ride it, oh
3) and there you go again
hands in your lovers hands
blues in your lovers eyes
you feel a fool again
love made you blue again
oh baby they're just growing pains
bridge
and when they're gone there's just you
just yourself loving you
clouds they just come and go
but it's you who holds on

Hostile Shore
05:29
|
|||
|
1) In a time when living gets harder
and the struggle for survival too
you ask yourself what is wrong with this world
it used to be a place i loved
and i put my arms around you
and we hold each other tight
its the only thing that keeps us
that keeps us alive
oh oh oh
2) We fell in love as the world was going crazy
we talked and talked for hours
it was easy to collapse into your arms now
and your scent's still in my bed
driving through clouds of people on the cold floor
these are dark dark times
oh im so scared of the things that might come now
and i dont know what to do
oh oh oh
3) we spent the afternoon on rollercoasters
as the leaves turned brown
and the wind said autumn and the cold air
proved the blue skies liars
human bodies stranded somewhere on a cold shore
this could have been my child
what if we have to flee someday too now
into some rotten paradise
oh oh oh
4) these days we're writing poems and lighting candles
for our hearts and for our minds
im falling deeper and deeper as i hold you
this could have been my child
these days we're keeping our heads down low now
until we're ready to fight
we used to sing this song past midnight
this could have been my child
oh oh oh
5) and if we ever lose our fear now
together we will stand
we could end the pain and the hardship
it is divided that we fall
we're swimmers in the arctic sea now
we should b building ships
our anger is a starting point now
our pain is our guide

1) do u remember what u said
When u kissed me long ago
Love shouldnt b a battlefield
But the battles we all know
In the blink of an eye
Ten years go by
And u never wonder why
We were young & wounded
And we sang songs of love
Chorus
We were young & wounded
We were young & poor
We were young & wounded
And we sang songs of love
2) a womans heart is never hers
Its never hers alone
Ur always there
Ur everywhere
And i am mostly gone
I wish i could regain my heart
And find my peace of mind
Oh, we're still young & wounded
And we sing songs of love
3) theres a struggle to b seperate
And a struggle to b one
We kiss our kids goodnifht and then we wonder where they've gone
I once was a lady
I once was a girl
I am mostly me these days
And i like who ive become

Those who made no sound
04:21
|
|||
|
1) There was a time that i once lost
it was a time that knew no cost
and many days we spent in bliss
no need for pain no need for this
chorus:
And I'd have never thought
that we'd look back on days like this
and i'd have never thought
that we would ever fall out of love
2) Sweet and innocent like us
we feel the rain, we fell the loss
we count these days long as they last
as they swell and as they pass
chorus
3) We pick the fruits up from the fields
they're full and thick far as i see
we think of those who made no sound
after they shot them to the ground
chorus II:
And I'd have never thought
that we'd look back on days like this
and i'd have never thought
this world would ever fall out of love
4) There'll be a time to think of this
to tell them no, to stop them doing this
there'll be a time when we will shout
shout out our pain
shout it out loud
chorus II

1) come on into my kitchen
i'll put the kettle on
there are times when im unsettled
there are times when im at home
i'll light the candles when the day is done
we'll watch the trees as they fight the storm
outisde it's cold, inside it's warm
its late autumn and early storms
2) knock hard against my window
then i might let you in
the winds are getting stronger
but we'll defy the storm
we'll cook potatoes and we'll wash the dishes
we'll break the silence and we'll sing the songs
we listen closely to the wind a howling
in late autumn and early storms
3) you come and go so lightly
but im good where i am
you do know where to find me
you do know where im gone
and finally there is peace within me
the outside world is slowing down
and my heart it asks for nothing
but late autumn and early storms

Lament
03:04
|
|||
|
1) i lost another baby
in the most silent of months
it left me sorely wailing
this winter was so long
chorus:
oh dear i cannot see thee
with u i cannot speak
oh dear i cannot see thee
and u cannot see me
2) i lost another lover
in the most silent of years
my loss it was my secret
and so were my tears
3) i lost another winter
seeking shelter from my pain
the years they passed in silence
like a sad refrain
4) a woman knows the sadness
she cannot help but bleed
some might think men are stronger
but they are too in need

1) I wish i knew how to conquer planets
i wish i knew how to light my own sun
i wish i was a rocket scientist
i wish i was a sailor like u
and now ur here with me and i'm with u
i figured that science is easy to do
2) I wish i knew how to be a chess master
i wish i knew how to play my own game
i wish i knew how to sing my own voice
i wish i knew how to be my own song
and now ur here with me and i'm with u
i figured that songs are so easy to do
3) I wish i knew how to improvise failure
i wish i knew how to spell success
i wish i knew how to build my own castles
i wish i knew how to be my own friend
and now ur here with me and im with u
i figured that castles are easy to do
4) I wish i knew how to write my own story
i wish i knew how to tell my own tale
i wish that life was less like a mountain
i wish that life was more like a song
and now ur here with me and im with u
i figured that stories are easy to do
5) i wish i was a super hero
i wish i was an anthem or hymn
i wish that i had super powers
i wish that i could cast my own spells
and now ur here with me and im with u
i figured that heroes are like me and u

The Day After Tomorrow
02:36
|
|||
|
1) On the day after tomorrow we will all b homeless poets
we will all b angry marchers on the stage of history
we will keep our dancing demons in our bottles of red wine
we will sing our songs of sorrow to the dying buds of may
but we never will forgive what the greed bastards did
they stole our homes and children with their lies
2) on the day after tomorrow we will take our bleeding hearts
to the debt collectors castle just to watch it burning down
there'll be angry screaming widows they'll be tearing down these halls
there'll b no more scattered hopes cos we will make these fuckers crawl
and we'll take all their belongings and divide them between us
and the tide of time shall wash them away
3) on the day after tomorrow we might finally arrive
at conclusions that were always in our hearts and in our minds
they have only been forgotten as the wheel of history turned
and the dust that kept them hidden is now swiftly blown aside
and we'll believe no more lies and we'll believe in ourselves
and the world that we create will b ours
4) on the day after tomorrow all the thieves will be deprived
of everything they took from us and everything they hide
and the burned soil that they left will b made furtile again
we will finally take our own fate into our own hands
and we'll believe no more lies and we'll believe in ourselves
and the world that we create will b ours

im a mother and a lover
im a worker and a friend
ive been through all this shit before
im not running anymore
i am a tree
and i'll stay here
i am an artist
i dont take the world for granted
we can change it if we want it
and i know that ur around somewhere in this stonecold city
i know ur nights are lonely too
oh my heart it sees so clearly
sees the pain that uve been through
sees the the times that uve been blue
all my cards are on the table
all my words are in this song
if ur strong enough to take me
if ur strong enough to stay
if ur strong enough to hold me
come stormy weather come what may
if all these feelings do not scare u
if ur mind is moving too
if u wonder if this world is either crazy or in pain
we might stand and breathe together
heads on shoulders
heart on heart
and i know that ur around somewhere in this stonecold city
i know ur nights are lonely too
oh my heart it sees so clearly
sees the pain that uve been through
sees the the times that uve been blue

1) feeling close tonight
with just half the world between us
as if we were in one single skin
how crazily amazing
He said babe sad songs light up parts of us that feel

while being with someone
and how u can feel close to someone

He said babe i already know u
and i feel u i feel u i feel u
I said baby this sounds like a song
and i cant stop singing it
he siad we got under each others skin
and into each others mind
i said we should write a song together
give it a name, give it a heart
and i feel u i feel u i feel u

Love will find you too
and there's nothing you can do
you might toss and turn
but we all have to learn
love will find you too
Love will blind you too
and there's nothing you can do
you might toss and turn
but we all have to learn
love will blind you too
Love will hurt you too
and there's nothing you can do
you might toss and turn
but we all have to learn
love will hurt you too
Love will leave you too
and there's nothing you can do
you might toss and turn
but we all have to learn
love will leave you too
Love will find you too for a new
and there's nothing you can do
you might toss and turn
but we all have to learn
love will find you too

1) baby ive been thinking of u
thinking of u in a world that dont exist
baby ive been feeling lost and lonely
lost and lonely cos i just dont seem to fit
ref
no i dont fit in this world no not me
i dont fit with what this world wants from me
they give me shoes that are too small for me
so baby lets break free
2) baby ive been wondering lately
if there is anyone who feels they way i do
and if they do why dont they tell me
why dont they tell me that they hate it in here too
ref
no we dont fit in this world no not us
we dont fit with what this world wants from us
they give us shoes that are to small for us
so baby lets break free
ref
and if this world doesnt fit anyway
if it dont fit with what we all want to be
we should make shoes that will let us be a bit bigger
broken free

We will reach them all
01:31
|
|||
|
The mountains that we're climbing
turn out to be too small
for us to reach the stars
we want to reach them all
the one thing that we can do
is build a stairway hall
i dont know how we'll make it
but we will reach them all
we will build a wall
for every castle in the air
for each and every moment
we will count the fools that stare at us
the one thing that we can do
is build a stairway hall
i dont know how we'll make it
but we will reach them all
