So we live, you and I, either side of the edge
And we run, and we scream, with the dilated stare
Of obsession, and dreaming
After all this time
Cynical and jaded
All the stones are diamonds
All the blues are faded
But you fly above the clouds
Where the air’s to thin to think of falling back again
When you fly above the clouds
You see the shadow of a doubt
An eternity away upon the ground
Take me by the hand
You’ll either kill me or you’ll save me
Take me to the island
Show me what might be real life
I woke up to feel no pain
Day from night
Anti-gravity and light
It’s so clear, just what I’m doing here
Strangers don’t hide
The morning hunts you down
And there’s nothing stranger
Than to love someone

Take me to the fantastic place
Keep the rest of my life away
Your mind will find a way
To be unkind to you somehow
But all we really have
Is happening to us right now
I need a place to hide
Before the storm begins
Under the stars which prick us and call us
Connect us to hope that perfection’s within us
Here on the ground, the reckless and hopeless
Damned by the slip of a pen
How do we now come to be
Afraid of sunlight?
It’s all so clear
We can see the madness
Perfectly from here
What the hell do we want?
Is it only to go
Where nobody has gone?
I always used to believe
That beauty was skin-deep
Now I need a new word
To describe you
Love can heal
And love can sting
Heads you lose
And tails I win
Lift the weight
Of the world
From my shoulders again
Rambling poets
Manic with vision
We are the drivers
Yet we feel driven
When I meet god
I’m going to ask her
What makes her cry?
It’s empty in the valley of your heart
The sun it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you left behind
Sometimes I just
Can’t help myself
I guess I’m clockwork
And you’re quartz
You fuse my broken bones
Back together again
Lift the weight of the world
From my shoulders again
Nobody said it was easy
No-one ever said
It would be this hard
Make our escape
You’re my own Papillion
The world turns too fast
Feel love before it’s gone
Liars and lovers
Combine tonight
We’re going to make a scene
I heard your heart beating
You were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness
With you
Listening to the pouring rain
Waiting for the world to change
Beginning to wonder if we wait in vain
For one fine day
But when you fly above the clouds
And they fade away to silence there’s regret again
When you look down at the clouds
And know that your whole world’s beneath them
An eternity away upon the ground
Watch the big wheel, turning round
Some go up, and some go down
Some go thirsty, some just drown
That’s the law round here
Said the King of Sunset Town
You never want to run away again
But you looked into the eye of hell
And it left you comatose
You found your fears and you gave them names
Found them carved into a silent stone
And you left each one a rose
What did she say?
I know the pain of too much tenderness
Wondering when, or if you’ll come back again
Wanting to live for you, and being banned from giving
But only love will turn you round
There’s a truth in the madness
That I can’t get beyond
And a fever that won’t leave me alone
I can’t get beyond you
Sing a different song
‘Til you’re running the ledge
To the gasp from the crowd
Spinning round in your head
Everything that she said…
The ends of the world
Form a ring from here
As wide as the eyes
Or as wide as the mind can be
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again
Bring back the water, let your ships roll in
In my heart she left a hole
They said to lose my life
Or lose my love
That’s the nightmare
I’ve been running from
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful
As you
All sparks will burn out
In the end
If you hear me
Throw me a line or strike me down
Do you refuse to even accuse?
Do your worst
Lift this curse
Give me a flare to paint the sky
So I can light the world for a second
Before we fade away
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me
I just want to take my chance
To live through a miracle
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt I love
Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such oceans within
In the end I will always love you
Silent night surrounding me
On the shore of wistful sea
Her kindest heart made me believe
The world as I wish it to be
So I'll wait till midnight tolls
Two souls almost touching
In the dark
I’ll be alright…
