Cover me over Feel the dark come in closer and closer I don't want to be woke in the morning Just to find it's all gone Weeping the willow Feel the light crossing over my pillow I don't want to be woke in the morning Just to find the decision is already made Made before I came your way I don't know what to say But I could show you What it all meant through my eyes Did you want me to stay Just to do it over and over Bear the weight of the world on your shoulders Well this burden is ridden today When decisions are made in a rage Somethings can never be taken away Well I know what I said But can you blame me Look through it all from my side Did you want me to stay Just to do it over Now my backs turned away I guess we're done and we're over Over We do it all over Then we're over Over Yeah we're over Look for it all in my eyes

Ghosts 02:38
You gave me a feeling that I hadn't felt for a long time Belief in myself Not always a test Some strength so I know I could make it alone Sometimes you meet the right one It's never the right time Always there's something to tear you apart It aches in the space that we fill with regret It aches in the space that you are We make it to break it We sing when we're down on our knees For the choices we pass When we're locked behind the ghosts in our dreams You gave me a reason to find out myself for the first time Always too scared that I'd fail the first test To fail is not so bad when the lesson is learned The lesson I took with you We make it to break it We sing when we're down on our knees For the choices we pass When we're locked behind the ghosts in our dreams Said like the final word (say it again) Love is the final word (say it again) We make it to break it We sing when we're down on our knees For the choices we pass When we're locked behind the ghosts in our dreams We make it to break it We sing when we're down on our knees For the choices we pass When we're locked behind the ghosts in our dreams

Everybody on a high line Barely able but I think that I'll be fine Stop wasting all your time Past the point where I see straight I am aware but I'm not sure I am awake Been like this for some time But I feel in love with the world I dance with the sun Taken by all that is new I knew that I'd won Yes, I'd won For the rest of my life I will know Nothing is sure Playing out the situation Well it may seem like I don't know how you feel I've learned to numb my mind And if I seem a little distant Out of line or too insistant I'm counting down my time But I feel in love with the world I dance with the sun Strange to the point of it all I'm out for no one No one For the rest of my life I will know Nothing is sure Breathe take the life from right inside of me To heal your heart it's broken misery that I leave Nothing is sure The rest of my life I will know Nothing is sure

So many people give me much of their time In the end I throw it all away Sometimes I wonder if my sanity is mine Every time it blows up in my face It's not the way I'd like to see myself But it is me So many places never settled me down Every time I'd have to leave No childhood memories or fond reflection Well I know I don't believe It's not the way I'd like to see myself But I paint these pictures of me It's the only side I really see I needed some time to be on my own I knew what I'd done didn't think it was wrong No So many people give me much of their time In the end I throw it all away Well I've got to wonder if my sanity is mine When every time it blows up in my face It's not the way I'd like to see myself But I paint these pictures of me It's the only side I really see I needed some time to be on my own I knew what I'd done didn't think it was wrong No I paint these pictures of me

Murder Mile 02:04
Back at murder mile One last chance before we say goodbye To oust that part of you that never wants to try Never ask me why Sat in the Red Lion Waiting for a spark to change my life After all was said I never should return Back to a long lost love Pull yourself together Get a grip Don't worry now Let them weave their wicked web They'll end up eating flies So you belong inside Somewhere where we never have to find After all I said I never would become Back to the one I know Pull yourself together Get a grip Don't worry now Let them weave their wicked web They'll end up eating flies Nobody said goodbye They never asked you why I blind my sight Back at murder mile Back at murder mile

Walk Away 06:17
Wait a moment your life has just begun Don't waste in desperation Don't walk into the setting sun Those around you care for who you are One day you will be patient One day you'll find out what it's for What ever I said I'm sorry What ever I did don't worry You know I didn't mean it that way Don't take offence I'll walk away Wait a minute you've done nothing wrong I'll make a dedication To put right the things that I've done wrong When everything just seems to get you down It's easy to pass on the blame Or send it back to where it's from What ever I said I'm sorry What ever I did don't worry You know I didn't mean it that way Don't take offence I'll walk away What ever I said I'm sorry What ever I did don't worry You know I didn't mean it that way Don't take offence I'll walk away Hey I'll walk away

A cold wind blows As the sun rides down The tide does grow I stand alone By the shoreline To cleanse my soul From the things you said before The things I tried to ignore I spoken wave Pulls me under I hear my name And it's now forever blamed Feelings that control you are just better left alone Sometimes it's better to feel numb People will console you but then what do they all know We always end our life alone
