Lyrics
I’d swim unfriendly oceans for you
Dive into the shallows
Deep blue
Ride the tide turn noon to night
And brave the mid day sun
End before I’d never begun
Oh its like a burning candle
Alight so you can’t handle
Trying to be untangled
Oh it’s a perfect place to start
I’ll save until I’m ready for you
Make something out of nothing to use
Drain myself of rainbow colour
And give you what is left
What you see isn’t always what you get
Oh its like a burning candle
Alight so you can’t handle
Trying to be untangled
Oh it’s a perfect place to start
A good place to start
A good place to start
I’d swim unfriendly oceans for you

Lyrics
Here with doubt
You call me now
To walk out in the snow
I’m too busy I cant go
Losing sleep
Trying to find a cure
For the illness you endure
In a dream
All in a dream
I am hopeful
I have seen, I have seen
We’ll ride the light in space so deep
We’ll travel light years to be free
I need to know
Just where you’ll go
And what you’ll leave behind
All the answers are inside
I stroke your back
I kiss your neck
Hairs go static life’s in check
In a breath
All in your breath
Each one precious
One more left, one more left
We’ll ride the light in space so deep
We’ll travel light years to be free
Losing sleep
To your book of light
The last chapter I will write
In a dream
All in a dream
I am hopeful
I have seen, I have seen
We’ll ride the light in space so deep
We’ll travel light years to be free
Your soul resides inside the tree

Lyrics
Its easy to not get by
Here on a Sunday night
You can’t except things are different now
A room you used to share
Your home but there’s no one there
Try to except things are different now
You listen but you wont be told
It happens to be all your fault
No one can go on this way
You used to be so strong
Bouncing back when things went wrong
Try to except that your different now
You never cared about the chase
You got by at your own pace
Try to except things are different now
You listen but you wont be told
It happens to be all your fault
No one can go on this way
Music is your life its true
But there's a world outside for you
No one can go on this way
You miss her presence so terribly
Early morning cleaning spree
Your time is now
You listen but you wont be told
It happens to be all your fault
No one can go on this way
Music is your life its true
But there's a world outside for you
No one can go on this way

Lyrics
I hope I’ll float
When all is done and its my time to go
And I hope I’m thankful for
Every minute and I leave wanting more
We don’t always overcome the
Things we fear the most
And we don’t always get to finish
It just the way it goes
And I wait to face
All the light and take it with good grace
And I wait to be as one
Take every moment every second as it comes
We don’t always come to cherish
The ones that mean the most
And we don’t always put aside
The time to tell them so
You’re my sane asylum
One true silence
In my soul
I owe you my soul
You’re my only pardon
Perfect garden
In my soul
I owe you my soul
And I wait to face
The light with grace
And I wait to take
The final breath
That takes me home

Lyrics
Standing underneath the bullet rain
You can moan but you can not complain
No religion’s gonna pull you through
Its yourself you have to wake up to
You’re a self fulfilling prophecy
Your own worst enemy
You always said that this would never work
You made sure of that with every word
Move out of the light
Give me space give me time
Retreat to the sides
Cause your thoughts are now mine
Standing underneath the bullet rain
We can laugh now it has passed away
I see a future way back in your eyes
I wish you well and to be still inside
Move out of the light
Give me space give me time
Retreat to the sides
Cause your thoughts are now mine
Just carry on
Write your journal write your songs
Don’t look around
Look ahead
Your not done yet
