here i am: album version
04:03
|
|||
I’ve seen futures pass,
Taken from right before my eyes Who I am, don’t decide.
Leave it all behind.
Burnt by the sun,
Pieces of a life gone fading by,
All prevailed,
Then turned around to say good-bye.
It’s all I know, all I’ve ever known, All I know is here I am.
Still beating heart,
Found underneath the heaving sky, I remember it well,
Forget the reasons why.
It’s all I know, all I’ve ever known. All I know is here I am.
It’s all I know, all I’ve ever known. All I know is here I am.
Here I am Here I am Here I am

slow, girl
03:43
|

Time tends to open wounds so settle down, and look for a clearer view.
Bandage the past. Strange, but it has to be true, coming from me to you.
I’ve painted all the rooms you can’t see anymore, but your memory is on the wall.
Brushed from the past, unable to try any more.
But you can go too far. Easy
To win a heart, it’s easy.
I’ve found a way to kill it slow.
Girl, I’ve found a way, to kill it slow.
Girl, I’ve found a way to kill it slow.
Girl, I’ve found a way to kill it slow.
Girl!
Of all the lines you’ve broken, for me to take a breath... But in your eyes a token, of a token life.
I’ve found a way to kill it slow.
Girl, I’ve found a way, to kill it slow.
Girl, I’ve found a way to kill it slow.
Girl, I’ve found a way to kill it slow.
Slow, Girl!

overflow
04:45
|
|||
In this quiet time, we’re polarising winning feeling,
But in the silence while you’re becoming something different,
We overflow with sideways glances.
We overflow and drip down the stairs.
We drip down the stairs.
But I will hold it. ( I've been meaning to say )
I will hold it in. ( If you ever let go )
I will hold it. ( I've been meaning to say )
I will hold it in. ( If you ever let go )
In this longing time I’m missing dreaming, under-reaching.
But in belonging I’m not getting closer, no closer to it.
We overflow with sideways glances.
We overflow and drip down the stairs.
We drip down the stairs.
But I will hold it. ( I've been meaning to say )
I will hold it in. ( If you ever let go )
I will hold it. ( I've been meaning to say )
I will hold it in. ( If you ever let go )

building to crumble
05:42
|

As the days linger on
There’s an optimistic slide
Into time and over me.
Take it slowly, take it slow,Take it slowly,
Take it slowly, take it slow, Take it slowly.
Well I’ll try!
It’s like the sun on my face.
It’s unsure of where I’ll be.
into time and over me.
Take it slowly, take it slow,Take it slowly,
Take it slowly, take it slow, Take it slowly.
Well I’ll try!
Are we building to crumble apart at the seams of my life?
Or are we building to crumble what little remains?
There is an open door
And with an optimistic slide
I’m over time and into me
Take it slowly, take it slow,Take it slowly,
Take it slowly, take it slow, Take it slowly.
Well I’ll try!
Are we building to crumble apart at the seams of my life?
Or are we building to crumble what little remains?
Are we building to crumble apart at the seams of my life?
Or are we building to crumble what little remains of my life?
Of my life
Of my life
It’s my life.

straight and true
04:38
|

Hold me in your loveless arms again.
Run your sorrows through my hair.
I am overjoyed!
I am overjoyed!
There’s truth, It hides behind the eyes.
And proof if you read between the lies.
I am overjoyed!
I am overjoyed, just to be here,
just to be here.
Lives cross wires
And faith expires
But we try til we tire
Of these days desires
Because I know…
Take these arms and bend again.
Hold this time until the end
I will see it through.
I will see it through just to be here,
Just to be here
And lives cross wires
And faith expires
But we try til we tire
Of these days desires
Because I know
That blindness takes its toll
Like a river left to flow straight and…
Straight and true
it’s true!
It’s true
It’s true!

home again
03:56
|
|||
This window pane serves to clear my name.
Tumbling down, tumbling down.
And this, while we go from fear to what we know.
Tumbling down again, turn it around again..
We fail, we go forward in line, and the year steers us into hell and home again.
In time we try to right this rhyme we fall out and back into hell and home again.
In my older time, is a smiled design.
Tumbling down. Tumbling down.
I’m a wild winged boy with a sideways style.
Tumbling down again. Turn it around again.
In time we try to right this rhyme we fall out and back into hell and home again. We fail, We go forward in line, and the year steers us into hell and home again.
I’m a wild winged boy with a sideways style.
Tumbling down again. Turn it around again.
We fail, we go forward in line, and the year steers us into hell and home again.
In time we try to right this rhyme we fall out and back into hell and home again.
Home again.
Home again
Home again

staring down the sun
04:15
|
|||
We’ve stared at the moon, all we can.
We wished on the star that never was.
We’ve spoken the words, best un-said.
Looked over our paths with a critical eye.
The rise and fall,
We watched it all.
We’re the ‘also ran’,
The ‘doing the best we can’.
Blinded by staring down the sun.
We’ve been to the wall, we know it still.
We’ve been the one that never was.
We’ve read for the parts, felt that chill.
Looked into their eyes for the very last time.
We rise, we fall.
We’ve seen it all;
Sometimes a little too closely.
We’re the ‘Also ran’,
The ‘Doing the best we can’.
Blinded by staring down the sun.

Another time look for a sign and it takes a while to reconcile.
Another place your smiling face and it takes a while to find the end.
You take a step away from me, you say to yourself,
You take a step away from me, you say to yourself, It’s finally over
You’re biding your time in another place and we’re climbing higher to the next cliff face.
And when the rain will never end, we’re closer now to the next bend.
You take a step away from me, you say to yourself,
You take a step away from me you say to yourself, “ It’s finally over
Moving down the forgotten road and you say to yourself it’s finally over
It’s burning red inside your head and you say to yourself it’s finally over
It’s over.
You take a step away from me, you say to yourself,
You take a step away from me, you say to yourself, “It’s finally over”
“It’s finally over”
“It’s finally over”
“It’s finally over”
“It’s finally over”
“It’s finally over”
Over.
It’s over

god-like
04:26

Take a turn for the worse with an angel in my hand.
I should learn from this curse, but I will never understand, understand?
god-like is not pale and grey,
So take my halo away.
Catch the light from my head, it’s so easy to demand,
What I am, is what you said, but I will never understand.
It could be anybody else.
Understand?
It could be anybody else.
god-like not is pale and grey,
So take my halo away.
See how the mighty fall and leave no scars at all?
god-like is not pale and grey,
So take my halo away.
god-like is not pale and grey,
So take my halo away!
Understand? It could be anybody else.
If you understand, it could be anybody else.
god-like is not pale and grey, so take my halo away!
Do you understand? It could be anybody else.
If you understand, it could be anybody else, we’re not god-like!
We’re not god-like!
We’re not bound to earth nor god-like.
Understand? It could be anybody else.
If you understand, it should be anybody else.

I rushed away, couldn’t bear to stay for a glimpse of the past.
First time, never last.
I knew that I’d run, at a hint of the sun,‘cause i’d been there before.
Too hard to ignore.
I couldn’t even stay, by the end of the day
With not much to say, we threw it away
On a rising star.
Away! On a rising star.
It’s been a million miles since yesteryear’s smiles,
And now, wouldn’t you say? Hey?
I spend most of my time, trying to forget about you,
Then it gets to the point that it’s when? where? and who?
So we do whatever we do.
I couldn’t even stay, by the end of the day.
With nothing to say, we threw it away,
On a rising star.
Away! On a rising star.
It’s been a million miles since yesteryear’s smiles,
And now, wouldn’t you say? Hey?
I couldn’t even stay, by the end of the day.
With nothing to say, we threw it away,
On a rising star.
Away! On a rising star.
