Dreamland 05:05
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

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

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

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

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

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
