1. Fallen Heaven bend to take my hand And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer To a long and painful fight Truth be told I tried my best But somewhere 'long the way I got caught up in all there was to offer But the cost was so much more than I could bear Though I've tried I've fallen I have sunk so low I messed up Better I should know So don't come 'round here and Tell me I told you so We all begin out with good intent When love is raw and young We believe that we can change ourselves The past can be undone But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals In the lonely light of morning In the wound that would not heal It's the bitter taste of losing everything I've held so dear Though I've tried I've fallen I have sunk so low I messed up Better I should know So don't come 'round here and Tell me I told you so Heaven bend to take my hand I've nowhere left to turn I'm lost to these I thought were friends To everyone I know Oh they turn their heads embarrassed Pretend that they don't see That it's one wrong step one slip before you know it And there doesn't seem away to be revealed Though I've tried I've fallen I have sunk so low I messed up Better I should know So don't come 'round here and Tell me I told you so I messed up Better I should know So don't come 'round here and Tell me I told you so 2. World On Fire The worlds on fire its more then I can handle Ill tap into the water try and bring my share Try to bring more, more then I can handle Bring it to the table Bring what I am able Hearts are worn in these dark ages You're not alone in these stories pages The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying And Ill try to hold it in Yeah Ill try to hold it in Chorus I watch the heavens but I find no calling Something I can do to change whats coming Stay close to me while the skys falling I don't wanna be left alone don't wanna be alone Chorus Hearts break hearts mend love still hurts Visions clash planes crash still theres talk of saving souls still colds closing in on us We part the veil on our killer sun Stray from the straight line on this short run The more we take the less we become The fortune of one man means less for some Chorus 3. Stupid Night lift up the shades let in the brilliant light of morning But steady me now for I am weak and starving for mercy Sleep has left me alone to carry the weight of unraveling where we went wrong And all I can do to hang on, to keep me from falling into old familiar shoes How stupid could I be a simpleton could see that you're no good for me but you're the only one I see Love has made me a fool set me on fire and watched as I floundered unable to speak except to cry out and wait for your answer and you come around in your time speaking of fabulous places create an oasis that dries up as soon as you're gone you leave me here burning in this desert without you Chorus Everything changes everything falls apart I can't stand to feel myself losing control In the deep of my weakness I know Chorus 4. Drifting You've been gone for so long all that you know Has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow of the beautiful strangers that whisper your name do they fill up the emptiness Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one Chorus 'Cause you have been drifting for so long I know you don't want to come down But somewhere below you theres people who love you and theyre waiting for you to come home please come home You walk in a room and the world stops to stare You mesmerize all who are caught in the glare of the spotlight that follows wherever you go does it light up the emptiness Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one Chorus 5. Trainwreck Would your love in all its finery tear at the darkness all around me until I can feel again until I can breathe again 'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks a wild fire born of frustration born of the one love that gets me so high I've no fear at all Would your eyes like midnight fireflies light up the trenches where my heart lies until I can see again to find my way back again Chorus To fall so deep into you lose myself completely in your sweet embrace all my pains erased From your mouth its all that I wish the mercy of your lips just one kiss until I can breathe again so that I can sing again chorus 6. Push Every time I look at you the world just melts away All my troubles all my fears dissolve in your affections You've seen me at my weakest but you take me as I am And when I fall you offer me a softer place to land Chorus You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together You're the one true thing I know I can believe in You're all the things that I desire you save me you complete me You're the one true thing I know I can believe I get mad so easy but you give me room to breathe No matter what I say or do 'cause you're too good to fight about it Even when I have to push just to see how far youll go You wont stoop down to battle but you never turn to go Chorus There are times I can't decide when I can't tell up from down You make me feel less crazy when otherwise Id drown But you pick me up & brush me off and tell me I'm OK sometimes thats just what we need to get us through the day Chorus 7. Answer I will be the answer at the end of the line I will be there for you while you take the time In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground I will hold the balance if you can't look down If it takes my whole life I wont break I wont bend Itll all be worth it worth it in the end 'Cause I can only tell you what I know that I need you in my life When the stars have all gone out youll still be burning so bright Cast me gently into morning For the night has been unkind Take me to a place so holy That I can wash this from my mind The memory of choosing not to fight If it takes a whole life I wont break I wont bend Itll all be worth it worth it in the end 'Cause I can only tell you what I know That I need you in my life And when the stars have all burned out Youll still be burning so bright Cast me gently into morning for the night has been unkind 8. Time Time here all but means nothing just shadows that move 'cross the wall they keep me company but they don't ask of me they don't say nothing at all I need just a little more silence, I need just a little more time You send your thieves to me silently stalking me dragging me into your war Would you give me no choice in this I know you can't resist trying to re-open a sore So leave me be, I don't want to argue I just get confused and I come all undone If I agree well its just to appease you 'cause I don't remember what were fighting for You see love a tight thorny thread that you spin in a circle of gold to have me to hold me a token for all to see captured to be yours alone I need just a little more silence yeah I need just a little more time For courage to pull away there will be hell to pay deeper you cut to the bone Chorus Time here all but means nothing just shadows that move 'cross the walls They keep me company but they don't ask of me they don't say nothing at all Chorus 9. Perfect Girl Am I faithful, am I strong, am I good enough to belong in your reverie a perfect girl Your vision of romance is cruel and all along I played the fool all your expectations bury me Chorus Don't worry you will find the answer if you let it go give yourself some time to falter But don't forgo knowing that you're loved no matter what and everything will come around in time I own my insecurities I try to own my destiny That I can make or break it if I choose But you take my words and twist them 'round 'till I'm the one who brings you down Make me feel like I'm the one to blame for all of this Chorus You need everybody with you on your side Know that I am here for you but I hope in time Youll find yourself allright alone Youll find yourself with open arms Youll find yourself youll find yourself in time The riot in my heart decides to keep me open and alive I have to take myself away from you 'Cause I can't compete I can't deny theres nothing that I didn't try how did I go wrong in loving you Chorus 10. Dirty Little Secret If I had the chance love I would not hesitate To tell you all things I never said before Don't tell me its too late 'Cause I've relied on my illusion to keep me warm at night and I've denied in my capacity to love but I am willing to give up this fight Been up all night drinking to drown my sorrows down But nothing seems to help me since you've gone away I'm so tired of this town where every tongue is wagging When every back is turned Theyre telling secrets that should never be revealed Theres nothing to be gained from this but disaster Heres a good one Did you hear about my friend Hes embarrassed to be seen now 'Cause we all know his sins If I had the chance love I would not hesitate To tell you all things I never said before Don't tell me its too late 'Cause I've relied on my illusion to keep me warm at night and I've denied in my capacity to love But I am willing to give up this fight Oh I am willing to give up this fight Afterglow | Surfacing | Fumbling | B-Sides | Solace | Touch
