Mirrors (Album Version) 05:07
lyrics
buy track
It’s so dark Your hands are cold You feel that you’re not in control You’ve lost your spark You’re tired and old The feral nights will take their toll Let go can’t you see When you look inwardly There’s a hall of mirrors In your mind So you try and you try But you can’t believe You just see what you want to see And your illusions Make you blind You need a friend To help you see That excess is your enemy You reach the end The apogee Of your joyless revelry Let go can’t you see When you look inwardly There’s a hall of mirrors In your mind So you try and you try But you can’t believe You just see what you want to see And your illusions Make you blind Feeling nothing Numb and blind Is there something Left to find? But you are blinded by the lies The mirrors in your mind

Sparks 03:17
lyrics

There is a cold And empty place An endless span of silent space And I see I can’t win Against all that is and all that’s been We’re sparks In the night A flickering of light We’re running for cover We’re holding each other So wake me and shake me and tell me you'll take me You can’t avoid The hand of fate It will snuff out all you create And you’re caught On a pin This is not a fight that you can win We’re sparks In the night A flickering of light We’re running for cover We’re holding each other So wake me and shake me and tell me you'll take me

I Just Fell For A Lie 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Tic Tac Toe To the wire Head to toe In the mire Lying in the long grass trying to start a fire But I'm stuck here alone With my thoughts and the unknown And I am short of time To be playing in this pantomime And I, I just fell for a lie I can’t remember why I wanted to believe in you that’s why We choose what we believe We lie and we deceive We’re nothing if not human, hopelessly naive There you go Pants on fire Said the thief To the liar Life is so confusing With your feet held to the fire And so I try to find Some way to clear my mind And shake off this heavy weight But I'm tired and it’s getting late And I, I just fell for a lie I can’t remember why I wanted to believe in you that’s why We choose what we believe We lie and we deceive We’re nothing if not human, hopelessly naive

Boudleaux and Felice (with Jean-François Bergeon) 03:43
lyrics
buy track
In Tennessee the Bryants Are working on a song You never see these giants But their shadow is long Destiny and fate Bought them to this place They were destined to be great When they first met face to face He wrote for you You were writing for him too He wrote for you And soon you wrote as two Boudleaux said to his Felice This dream is what we’re meant to be Boudleaux said to his Felice Honey just you wait and see To Tennessee from Georgia The road was hard and long But then one day a barber Said his boys needed a song Destiny and fate And the Everly’s boyish charm They were destined to be great When they left that Georgia farm

We Try But We Are Filled With Doubt 03:57
lyrics
buy track
You see me as I stand You take me as I am I’m rough around the edges I’m not a perfect man You clap your hands in time with me You tell me what I ought to be You’re not in love with what you see You tell me wistfully The fire in our hearts is out We try but are filled with doubt If I want to start anew I need to reach out to you Let’s run before we’re caught By all our troubled thoughts All we tried to be All our history You take me by the hand You tell me where you stand You know that life’s not perfect There is no master plan You dance your steps in time with me You show me all that life can be We make the best of what we see We look up hopefully The fire in our hearts is out We try but are filled with doubt If I want to start anew I need to reach out to you Let’s run before we’re caught By all our troubled thoughts All we tried to be All our history

Older 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Who are you? What is it that feels true? The things you say, that you believe All those things you thought you knew Now you’re older You feel colder So many days just feel the same Just apathy and pointless blame Now you’re older You feel cold What to do? When the bill becomes due What’s left to say, that you believe If there’s nothing here for you Now you’re older You feel colder So many days just feel the same Just apathy and pointless blame Now you’re older You feel cold

I Fell Into Your Eyes 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Here you are A moonlit Queen The coldest face I’ve ever seen But there’s one thing I know About delusion Beauty and grace are a tempting illusion I saw what I wanted to see A lie that was waiting for me I fell into your eyes I fell into your sighs I fell into a world of lies where I was paralysed Cut the cord Let it be If you want your sanity Because you know there’s nothing here There is not, there is not, that to me is clear You say there’s nothing You claim there’s nothing You tell me there’s nothing for me I fell into your eyes I fell into your sighs I fell into a world of lies where I was paralysed Let it go Now you’re free You can face reality Because you know there’s nothing here There is not, there is not, that to me is clear

Sorry 04:08
lyrics
buy track
You reached out, you touched my face You told me I was a disgrace That I caused so much sorrow I left you feeling hollow How? You ask me, can this be true? You know me, and I think that I know you too I wanted to tell you that something was wrong But what can I say when I’m feeling so dumb? So I threw you away I regret it every day There’s just one thing I can say I’m sorry I’m sorry You called me out, you said to me I treated you so callously I was never faithful Loving me was painful Why? You ask me, can’t I be true? You hurt me and that means I just can’t trust you I wanted to tell you that something was wrong But what can I say when I’m feeling so dumb? So I threw you away I regret it every day There’s just one thing I can say I’m sorry I’m sorry So I wasn’t with you, I wasn’t there I wasn’t with you because I didn’t care I wanted to tell you that something was wrong But what can I say when I’m feeling so dumb? So I threw you away I regret it every day There’s just one thing I can say I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry

Crows 04:02
lyrics
buy track
The crows gather, one by one As dawn reveals a blood red sun A shadow spreads across the sky A crow pecks a corpse’s eye As the crows fly Silhouettes against the sky A shadow that passes you by Dark wings against the sky Dogs whimper, children cry A shadow spreads across the land A gun is clenched in a bleeding hand As the crows fly Silhouettes against the sky A shadow that passes you by We live out our lives Until the day when hell arrives We live out our lives Comfortably
