Atlas Sky

Lyrics: 
I thought I heard you talk to me last night
Maybe it was all in my mind.
I painted no warning, no promises signed,
Led towards you from the greatest of heights.

The Sandman, he tried to beg me wake
I had a date with the devil
My biggest mistake.
If mercy so hollow is all that I have
No man could carry me,
I’m stuck to this bed.

All I want is nothing more
Than what you gave or what you sold,
Blame me for a love so cold. 
All I need is what there is
And all there is, is what we missed,
Blame me for a love so cold
Blame you for a love so cold.

Spoke to a stillness colored by night,
Gave it a talking to, to rid my pride
If there’s nothing to say for,
Nothing to show,
I swear to be better, I swear to let go.

The Sandman, he tried to salvage my blame
I could not forget it, my love could not save
And if mercy so hollow is all that I have
Please momma carry me, I’m over my head.

All I want is nothing that more
Than what you gave or what you sold
Blame me for a love so cold.
All I need is what there is 
And all there is, is what we missed.
Blame me for a love so cold,
Blame you for a love so old.

Don't you know how much I love you, darling?
Don't you know how much I care?
I did not mean to bother you lover
But know I still want you here.
Don't you know how much I love you, darling?
Don't you know how much I care?
I did not mean to bother you, lover
But know I still want you here

All I want is nothing more
Than what you gave or what you sold,
Blame me for a love so cold
All I want is nothing more
Than what you gave or what you sold
Blame me for a love so cold,
All I need is what there is
And all there is, is what we missed
Blame me for a love so cold
Blame you for a love so old. 


Sandman

Breathless

Blank Page is the first single from the upcoming album 'Memories of a New Home'

Lyrics:  

Don't tell me that you are tired
don't tell me that you've been blue
cause we were just, we were just starting
how dare you say this wasn't true?

You were a light that haunted me
your indecision brings me down
but I need you now to start all over
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
Let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
my false steps and all my ways,
I swear i'm gonna change them all
to start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

A warning sign just blinded me
I knew I wasn't going right
now there's a fire inside me
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
My false steps and all my ways, 
I swear I'm gonna change them all 
to start on a blank page

If you take this away from me
it's gonna get too dark to see
so now, I beg you for a chance

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
my false steps and all my ways
I swear I'm gonna change them all
to start on a blank page

We'll get back to the start

'Talk to Me'

And I’ve been waiting by the phone
‘Cause I know that when you call 
I’ll get you alone
I’ll get you alone

And you’ll be safer in this place 
And I can’t wait to share my name
And give all of my soul to you 
Together growing old with you

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
‘Cause darling when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

And now I’m trying to hold my breath
With my arm behind your head
Darling I’m in ecstasy
When you’re sleeping next to me

And I’m scared to wake you up
‘Cause the way you look’s enough
To ask if you will marry me
Darling will you marry me

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
‘Cause darling when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

Like the river feeds the sea
Know that you, are all that I will need

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
Say my name ‘cause when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy

‘Cause I feel loved
Come on baby bring me up
‘Cause when you talk to me
Darling I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

I feel loved

'Cold'

Broken skies on the horizon, 
give me fever, tear me up. 
There’s a calm before the thunder. 
Never sure of, what’s to come.

So hold my soul ‘til the morning. 
Love me to the bone. 
Heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold.

Every day the sun is rising, 
is it too good to be true? 
You’ve got me caught in a twist in my head. 
Overthinking the things that you’ve said. 
Make me dream that I drive you away all alone. 
Everything I invent in my head, 
sabotaging the time that we spent. 
And now I need to know.

Just tell me that you’ll, 
hold my soul ‘til the morning. 
Love me to the bone. 
Heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold. 
Say you love me. Say you feel it. 
Say you’re never turning cold. 
Cos heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold.

I’ve been spinning out of place, 
but it’s an illusion I know. 
Maybe it’s a test of faith, 
to leave me feeling cold.

Hold my soul ‘til the morning. 
Love me to the bone. 
Heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold. 
Say you love me. Say you feel it. 
Say you’re never turning cold. 
Cos heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold.

'Hollow'

It’s not right, but it’s okay, I can’t feel it anyway.
Turn the knife, dig it in, in the end it’s only skin.

I’m a mess, shaking wreck, scared to speak I’m so on edge.
You must be crazy, to think that we can call this love.

You cut the air I need to breathe,
and all that’s left is a hollow version of me, version of me.

I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I’ve taken all that I can take. I knew I’d break eventually.
And if you think I’m coming back, I don’t really think that I’m down for that cos
I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this.

Broken stone, on my chest, rolled it off and took a breath.
You went crazy, but I was never good enough.

You cut the air I need to breathe,
but now I’ve shed this hollow version of me, version of me.

I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I’ve taken all that I can take. I knew I’d break eventually.
And if you think I’m coming back, I don’t really think that I’m down for that cos
I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.

I feel like I’m awake,
I feel like I am waking up, waking up.

I feel like I’m awake,
I feel like I am waking up.

It’s not right, but it’s okay, I can’t feel it anyway,
You must be crazy. You must be crazy so,

I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I’ve taken all that I can take, I knew I’d break eventually.
And if you think I’m coming back, I don’t really think that I’m down for that,
cos I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this.

SWIM

Deep blue and golden.
Bubbles on the sand where the tide has run away.
First light of morning, 
journey to the coast and your mine down by the waves.
Head on my shoulder now, I feel your breath on my skin, pull you close in the wind.
I’d give my soul just to keep you warm.

Love, give me love, give me love. Dig your toes in the sand.
Give me love, give me love. Take a hold of my hand.
Give me love, give love. We’re tumbling in.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean,
with you, with you.

We’re treading water.
Sun is beating down as we’re floating by the shore.
A short adventure, perfect weather, going for a swim.
Hands on my shoulders now, got my head in the clouds and I don’t wanna come down.
I’d give my soul just to keep you warm.

Love, give me love, give me love. Dig your toes in the sand.
Give me love, give me love. Take a hold of my hand.
Give me love, give love. We’re tumbling in.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean,
with you, with you, with you. 
 
Maybe we could stay.
Joining up the stars to spell you name.
And I don’t know ‘bout you,
but maybe we could stay a while.
Sleep beside the rolling of the waves.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean.
with you, with you.
