1.DEATH

I love the feeling when we lift up
watching the world so small below
i love the dreaming when i think of
the saftey in the clouds out my window
i wonder what keeps us so high up
could there be a love beneth these wings
if we suddenly fall should i scream out
or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i'm crying
so frightend of dying
relax yes im trying
this fears got a hold on me
yes, this fears got a hold on me
i love the quite of the night time
when the sun in the deathly sea
i can feel my heart beating as i speed from
then sense of time catching up with me
the sky set out like a pathway
but who decides which path we take
as people drift into a dream world
i close my eyes as my hands shake and when i see a new day
who's driving this anyway
i picture my own grave
cause fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
Floating neither up or down i wonder when i'll hit the ground
well the earth beneth my body shake
and cast your sleeping hearts awake
could it tremble stars from moon light skies
could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
i live on the right side i sleep in the left
thats why everythings got to be love or death
yes this fears got a hold on me

2.TO LOSE MY LIFE

He said to lose my life or lose my love
That's the nightmare I've been running from
So let me hold you in my arms a while
I was always careless as a child
And there's a part of me that still believes
My soul will soar above the trees
But a desperate fear flows through my blood
That our dead loves buried beneath the mud
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
I said I've got no time I have to go
And I was more right then now I'll ever know
He said my heart is faint, will minds regret
And left him crying next to the chapels steps
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
He said
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
He said
He said to lose my life or lose my love
That's the nightmare I've been running from
So let me hold you in my arms a while
I was careless as a child
There's a part of me that still believes
My soul will soar above the trees
A desperate fear flows through my blood
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud
A desperate fear flows through my blood
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud

3.A PLACE TO HIDE

Could I sit alone and ask about my future
When you replied I'd just turn away
I've been searching through my books to try and
Find some truth
Perhaps disguise is a mysterious way
And if I made a promise
Could I stay by your side
Would you guarantee my safety
And say that I'b be alright
And if judgement day started tonight
At least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
But take my hand tonight I think we'll be alright
I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains
Screaming I'll be back
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in
I need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins
If I told you all the times when I'd done wrong
Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away?
I can't forgive the things that I can still
remember
So I think my friend these sins are here to stay
And I could make a promise
With a tear in my eye
And all the hope in my heart
But all the doubt in my mind
But if judgement day started tonight
At least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
But take my hand tonight I think we'll be alright girl
I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains
Screaming I'll be back
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in
I need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

4.FIFTY ON OUR FOREHEADS

On the cusp of vessel 18
A look of terror in our eyes
The moonlight licked the face of danger
Innocence made us like soldiers
Untouchable and golden
The quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops
I know you're sad i'm leaving
So this may hurt a little
But girl look from your window late tonight
You think my heart is frozen
While yours is slowly grieving
You'll see the boy you loved start burning in the sky
We were a dozen to the project
With a galaxy of questions
And all we heard was lies about the truth
No choice but be obedient
Like prisoners of war
Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth
We thought about our loved ones
Tallied 50 on our foreheads
With the pen your mother gave me in the spring
The sun beat at the windows
Within an hour james had cracked
Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings

5.UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Just give me a second darling
To clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby, on this single bed
The sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind
The rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill
I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon
Shone through cracks in your hair.
I shouted with passion
I love you so much
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch.
You whispered where are you?
I questioned your doubt
But soon realised, you were talking to God now
You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get off your low and let's dance like we used to
But there's a light in the distance
Waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low and let's kiss like we used to
I looked in the mirror
But something was wrong.
I saw you behind but my reflection was gone.
There was smoke in the fireplace
As white as the snow.
A voice beckoned gently
Now it's time to go
A requiem played as you begged for forgiveness
Don't touch me! I screamed
I've got unfinished business
You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get off your low and let's dance like we used to
But there's a light in the distance
Waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, and let's kiss like we used to

6.E.S.T.

If you tell me to jump, then I'll die
In my dreams, I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams, I'm there
Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told
If you tell me to jump, then I'll die
In my dreams, I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams, I'm there
I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor of my fears with the nurse on the steps
I'm only going where you'll be someday
So don't say "Rest in peace" in your prayers
Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told
I hold you
Remember me
I hold you
Never pretend for me
I hold you
Remember me
I hold you
Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told
I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never pretend for me
I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never forget about me
I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never forget about me
I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never forget about me

7.FROM THE STARS

I saw a friend that i once knew at a funeral
He took the time out to be seen
His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch
That he'd been given by a magazine
He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon
Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece.
Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased
He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands
He took a chauffeur driven car back to his hotel
Passing through the sick streets where he was born
He said "Driver, what's happened to these buildings?
They all look run down and so alone"
He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse,
Put the “Do not Disturb” on his door
When the maid came in the morning
She found him shivering on the bedroom floor
He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands
He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands

8. FAREWELL TO THE FAIREGROUND

Lights still in our eyes, we're leaving this whole fairground behind, it's a dream that's going cold
Circus never dies, the act forever haunts these skies
I know we cannot stay
Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren't working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw
This place used to gleam, I see it in my hopeful dreams, now i had to get away
We move towards the stars, and all that we touch becomes ours, let’s keep warm till it's day.
Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren't working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw
We'll head south, just hold my hand now. I feel like I'm casting off my clothes and I'm running through the snow towards the sunset and I'm always with you.
Keep on running, keep on running, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.
Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren't working anymore. Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw
We'll head south, just hold my hand now, I feel like I'm casting off my clothes, and I'm running through the snow towards the sunset, where I'm always with you

9.NOTHING TO GIVE

You talked me to sleep last night
I hadn't felt that sad in years
Your eyes like glass mistakes
They moved me close to tears
You speak those favorite fables
Which I am yet to live
And Casually confirm my fears
That I've got nothing to give
I wish I could say
That I've got no regrets
But saying that would be one more
To pile on my desk
I wish I could say I've clung to time like gold
Bust as you said goodbye I almost died
I take it back all of it
Those names I called myself
the heroes of my childhood
Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back those promises
I made to everyone
I'm falling through a ribbon last
Before I'd learn to run
I wish I could say
That I've got no regrets
But saying that would be one more
To pile on my desk
I wish I could say I've clung to time like gold
Bust as you said goodbye I almost died

10.THE PRICE OF LOVE

Don't lay a finger I said, as he held her with fire
Kissed the crest of her lips and put his hands on her theighs
One million in a week or the girls gonna go
I'll kill you in a second he laughed yeah I know.
I want eight hundred thousand on a game show but it's not enough to win her back.
As my tears hit the floor he still said no come on man give me some slack,
I looked at the case he said I'll show you her blood
Screamed don’t the phone line so is this the price of love.
When I stare in your eyes I see the image of god, well girl listen out for the phone call and pray for a flood.
I called at a quarter past nine and said I've done all I can
He said you win some you lose some I feel bad for you man
He slammed down the phone and took his coat from the bin
She said what happens now or tell your husband your dead.
She said I loved you and pleaded for a hero to stay but knew deep inside that he'd planned it this way
I gave him my heart and now he left it to die and I know I can't go back,
He walks out the room and shouts I'll see you around,
She begged come on give me some slack.
he said there’s no hope but babe you can wait for that dove
She screamed from the window so is this the price of love
Said is this the price of love
Said is this the price of love
So is this the price of love
So is this the price of love
