Dreamland

Dreamland, nothing’s ever what it seems
You stumble around and you fall down, you think it’s everybody else’s dream
Here in dreamland everything’s a broken line
You think it’s you who’s falling apart and everybody else is fine
But I, I’m not afraid to dream
Even when I can’t stop shaking
Even when my heart is breaking
And I, I’m not afraid to dream
Even when I can’t stop falling
Even when the light is calling
Dreamland, faces without their eyes
Trying to hypnotize me
Trying to advertise me
Into dreamland
Sleep walking into walls
When I feel it tearing me down
That’s when I hear my angel’s calls
But I, I’m not afraid to dream
Even when I can’t stop shaking
Even when my heart is breaking
And I, I’m not afraid to dream
Even when I can’t stop falling
Even when the light is calling
Dreamland, here we go again
feeling like a story doesn’t have an end
I can’t wake up even when I’m falling through the deepest blue
I keep on reaching out for you but you just listen to me scream
I’m not afraid to dream
Even when I can’t stop shaking
Even when my heart is breaking
And I, I’m not afraid to dream
Even when I can’t stop falling
Even when the light is calling
I’m not afraid

How You Run
03:01

Oh fighter
Oh fighter
Born to the fire
Left on your own
Oh fighter
Sky igniter
Cry in the night to get you back home
Precious gunner
The stars you’re under
The sound of thunder is all that you’ve known
Disappearing
Skies are clearing
Left you fearing for none but your own
How you run
How you run
How you run
Pretty baby
Pretty baby
Who will save you
Who will you know?
Not your mother
Not your father
A fire fight breaks out in the fog
How you run
How you run
How you run
Pray love
Pray love
Pray love
Pray love
Oh fighter
How you run
How you run
How you run
Pray love
Pray love
Pray love
Pray love
Oh fighter

Into The Clearing
03:09
|
|||
I done so many people wrong in my time
I was only concerned with getting what was mine
Breaking, forsaking, all of this shit’s been taking its toll on me
My soul ain’t free
I was always waiting for something more to cure
I wanna burn up
I wanna burn up
I wanna burn up
And disappear into the clearing
I done you wrong baby, I know, I know
I took the best you had to give and I left you waiting at the door
All of my lonely nights just ain’t worth the fight no more
My radar’s been busted, shouldn’t be trusted with something so pure
I wanna burn up
I wanna burn up
I wanna burn up
And disappear into the clearing
I can be free again
I can be free again
Into the clearing
Into the clearing
I wanna burn up
I wanna burn up
I wanna burn up
And disappear into the clearing
All the silence I’ve been hearing

Hold You
04:42
|
|||
I see you in the doorway, those tears on your face
Singing stand by me, I wanna make you see, I can keep you safe
Don’t need no one to fix you, ‘cause babe you ain’t broken
There’s hope in your eyes, a new sun will rise, you shall be woken
I wanna hold you
I just wanna hold you
I wanna hold you
You say everyone seems happy, everyone except for you
Babe I know it seems that way, everybody got pain, something they’re going through
I don’t wanna hurt you, don’t wanna cause you pain
If you fight through, I’ll stand by you, ours shall be the same
I wanna hold you
Just wanna hold you
I wanna hold you
There is a shelter, a sweet little shack
Sit with me, wait peacefully for the storm to pass
Beauty beneath me, beauty above me
I want you to reach me, I want you to teach me, I want you to love me
I wanna hold you
I just wanna hold you
I wanna hold you
So just reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
Reach out

See The Light
02:50
|

Even when I lose a winner
Even when I fail to place
When I fall off the map and disappear without a trace
Even when I can’t breathe in
And I’m falling out of line
Everybody round me says everything gonna be alright
See the light
See the light
See the light
See the light
Even when I feel I’m falling
And there ain’t no one to catch
Feeling weightless even know I did my best
Even when I know I’m crying, I’m smiling on the side
‘Cause I know everything gonna be alright
See the light
See the light
See the light
Hold on, hold on, hold on
See the light
For everybody that don’t see the light
See the light
Everybody that don’t see the light
See the light

It's Real
03:03
|

So you want to walk away just like you always did
Push me down and run away just like a little kid
You hold up me up and so I feel the flame
Then you leave me in the dark again
It’s all so precious, this part of the game
You say you love me but you need the pain
Wild-eyed with your hands on the wheel
I’m a fool when I want you to feel
My love is real
My love is real
My love is real
It’s real
I’m the same sort of misfit that missed it when I had a wishlist that I made
But I’d like to believe you when you say you still feel the same
And if you want me I’d fall at your feet
There’s a hole where your heart used to be
And I can’t deny I don’t want you to leave
It’s a sadness and a sickness that I still believe
My love is real
My love is real
My love is real
It’s real

Seeing Ghosts
03:25
|
|||
In the garden
I woke up alone
Startled by the radio
I’m home in the shadows
I’m seeing ghosts everywhere
I’m seeing ghosts
In the light they disappear but I’m not scared
I’m seeing ghosts
I’m seeing ghosts
I’m seeing ghosts
I’m a slave
to the tidal wave been crashing down
Can’t see the sounds that hold me near
But will I reappear?
I’m seeing ghosts everywhere
I’m seeing ghosts
In the light they disappear but I’m not scared
I’m seeing ghosts
I’m seeing ghosts
I’m seeing ghosts
From where you stand
From where you see me
Am I a mystery?
Part of your history?
I’m seeing ghosts everywhere
I’m seeing ghosts
In the light they disappear but I’m not scared
I’m seeing ghosts
I’m seeing ghosts
I’m seeing ghosts
I’m seeing ghosts
I’m seeing ghosts

Shoulda Known Better
03:04
|
|||
She came to me like a dream
Like nothing that I’d ever seen
Lying awake here in the dark
Trying to find out what to do with my heart
Still coming down from the high
I’m asking myself why I had to tell a lie
Still coming down from the high
I’m asking myself why I had to tell a lie
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
How was I supposed to let you go?
I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess
I shoulda known better but I got no regrets
I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess
I shoulda known better, known better
We both got considerations
Other city situations
Faraway conversations
That might’ve led us to these deviations
No, I won’t regret a minute of it
No, I won’t regret a second of it
No, I won’t regret a minute of your lovin’
No, your lovin’ got me open
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
How was I supposed to let you go?
I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess
I shoulda known better but I got no regrets
I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess
I shoulda known better, known better
But I stayed
And I stayed so I could lay in your glow
But I stayed
Oh I stayed
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
How was I supposed to let you go?
I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess
I shoulda known better but I got no regrets
I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess
I shoulda known better, known better
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, known better

Clean
03:47
|
|||
It's been so cold up here
The sky won’t clear, no the sky won’t clear
Will you come to see
What’s become of me, what’s become of me?
Nothing can come between us
Except for my fevers, except for my demons
And they will not leave my side
They will behind
Oh they will be
Will you wait, will you wait
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait, will you wait
Will you wait for me?
It’s been snowing now for days
I can’t get away, no I can’t can’t get away
I smile but it fogs the glass
Time slowly passes, yes time slowly passes
And babe, oh babe, going crazy
Will you wait, will you wait
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait, will you wait
Will you wait for me?
You said that you would wait for me
You said that you would climb
Up any mountain I was stranded
I think about it all the time
But I know the words I said to you
I was broken, I was blind
I took so much and never gave back
But do I ever cross your mind?
I was swallowed by the avalanche
And now I watch the hourglass
I need one thing I can remember
So I don’t surrender
Will you wait, will you wait
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait, will you wait
Will you wait for me?
If I get clean

Invisible Oceans
03:59
|
|||
In invisible oceans we get so carried away
And she's lying there motionless, corpse-like in a daze
Sinking way down
Curled up like a wave
She calls my name, and I go to her
And wait until the tide is turned
It's unbearable that I can't lift the weight of her world
And I guess it was delusional to think I ever could
She says
You don't have to save me
You don't have to say a word
In love and silence I'll return
Now I’m lying in our dark room with the wave gone back to sea
And I’m staring in the mirror wondering how wrong I could be?
Sinking way down
I wish that she could save
I wish I hadn’t said a word
In silence our love returns
In waves, like waves
Like waves, like waves
Like waves, like waves
In invisible oceans we get so carried away
