What Do I Know? 05:06
lyrics
buy track
This is where you and me Debate the things that ought to be This is where we talk about All our fear and all our doubt And all that you say Is there’s nothing here to blind you And all of my doubts Are just begging me to find you But what do I know anyway Who do I think I can sway There’s nothing but uncertainty And thoughts that turn to doubt Well I can’t see the light When I’m fumbling in the night And the stars are all out With my fears And if I said I could be wrong But one more thought will come along And maybe it will strike a chord Or one more dud to be ignored And all of our hopes Are just flotsam on the ocean With all of our fears And our negative emotion But what do I know anyway Who do I think I can sway There’s nothing but uncertainty And thoughts that turn to doubt Well I can’t see the light When I’m fumbling in the night And the stars are all out With my fears And I don’t know if I’ll come to forgive you And I don’t if I will follow you We disappear into the air The wind scatters the dreams we share We disappear into the breeze We float adrift like autumn leaves

Dreams 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Talk talk it out Show me your doubts Just talk it out I’m here We talk our lives away And we will talk our dreams away Talking all day But do we have something to say? I tell you I’m near you But I don’t think I’ll ever hear you And so it’s just not what it seems Holding on Even when the moment’s gone You’re holding on To dreams Don’t you walk away Just help me to find a way I wish you would stay There's nothing left to throw away But with all the things that I need to say Well I can’t believe that you’d be this way It’s such a cruel game that you play. You're holding on to dreams And all the things that you wished away And all your dreams that will drift away

This is How our Hearts are Broken 03:04
lyrics
buy track
A broken dream, a broken world Well I think I know how this unfurls My broken dream, in your hand Scattered pieces all around So this is how our hearts are broken This is what the wounded say This is what was left unspoken This is why the faithful pray An ugly scene, and ugly words And all the lies we overheard And so it seems, we understand We’re arguing on sinking sand So this is how our hearts are broken This is what the wounded say This is what was left unspoken This is why the faithful pray

If You Want to Help Me 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Lost, crossed, thrown away And still not sure I know the way Shake me break me Let me go If you want to help me When I feel so lonely The shadow that engulfs me Just won’t go away But you can say It’s all ok Old, cold, washed away And still not sure what card to play Love me shove me Out the way If you want to help me When I feel so lonely The shadow that engulfs me Just won’t go away But you can say It’s all ok

Years That Slipped Away 02:40
lyrics
buy track
King for a day if you just believed Kill for a say you feel so relieved You’re lonely so lonely You are such a phoney You left me, in between All of the dreams that you’ve never seen And if you try to reach out All you feel is your doubt Cling to the hope that the end is near Ring out the doubt just to end the fear And slowly so slowly If you listen closely You will see, in your dreams All of the hope that you’ve never seen And if you try to reach out You will be in no doubt

Secrets and Lies 04:20
lyrics
buy track
You made me look into the void Told me I was paranoid And then you looked me in the eye And you saw through my alibi What I think the things I say Well you found out to your dismay Things I never told you After all these years Thoughts that only I knew My secrets and my fears I never let you near me I hid my silent tears My sorrow and my worry Until the darkness clears We make it in the make-believe We use kind words when we deceive But build your life on shifting sand And you will sink right where you stand What I think the things I say Well you found out to your dismay Things I never told you After all these years Thoughts that only I knew My secrets and my fears I never let you near me I hid my silent tears My sorrow and my worry Until the darkness clears Secrets and lies destroy you Secrets and lies that throw you Secrets that you don’t know So much was left unspoken So many things seem broken And so little left to show Secrets and lies still hidden Too shy once you’ve been bitten So much that you don’t know

Some Days 04:19
lyrics
buy track
What we are, who can say? Just a mayfly for a day Who am I, who are you? We don’t really have a clue Some days Some days when we were dreaming Some days so full of meaning Some days we threw away And so We’re longing for tomorrow In happiness or sorrow I guess we’ll be ok What to do, who can tell? It’s not heaven it’s not hell But we try anyway Even if we lose our way Some days Some days when we were dreaming Some days so full of meaning Some days we threw away And so We’re longing for tomorrow In happiness or sorrow I guess we’ll be ok

The Best Chance We Ever Had 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Out of the shadows love came So alive no longer numb So alive and overcome Out of the shadows and pain Don’t be so sad It was the best chance we ever had The doubting will tear us apart If you could see There’s something in me If you could see in my heart Out of our sorrow love came So alive no longer young So alive and so far gone Out of our sorrow and pain Don’t be so sad It was the best chance we ever had The doubting will tear us apart If you could see There’s something in me If you could see in my heart

I Can’t See the Stars 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Hold me, help me Spend some time alone with me You don’t know I’m fading You can’t see me waiting But you know You know where we are And you say We can’t get to go all that far But I I can’t see the stars in the sky I’m half blind and I don’t know why What, and how? Can you help me now? We can’t relive the pain we tasted We can’t live those days again Show me, so I can see Something hopeful something sweet You can keep me waiting Although I’m hesitating But you know You know what we say And you pray We can’t get to go all that way You can wish the pain away But it will come back anyway Accept that you are grieving With hope you can start healing But in the end, in disarray We'll try to meet our fate halfway As long as we keep breathing We have to keep believing

Waves 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Walking through your gilded palace Searching through your marbled halls Looking for a glimpse of solace But comfort never heeds your calls We’ll walk into the waves The tide will wash us both away I’ll walk into the waves with you dear And we will count the days The dwindling days that drift away And we will count the days without fear We’ll walk into the waves The tide will wash us both away I’ll walk into the waves with you dear
