Help

I hide
From your words like knives
Scorpion sting in your eyes
I’m always watching you leave
When I need you
My love
Everything’s never enough
I keep your amused with my sadness
Pretending to hurt when I caught you in a lie

I won’t cry out loud
Standing alone in the mess that you left me with
I feel your gravity
Pulling me down again
Pulling me
Into your arms

Free
Free as a bird in a storm
If I ever find my way home
I don’t believe you will leave the light on
My love
I pay in pain for my sins
The devil in you always wins
You lose my love like a chain to bind me with

I won’t cry out loud
Standing alone in the mess that you left me with
I feel your gravity
Pulling me down again
Pulling me
Into your arms

Gravity
Pulls me closer
Gravity
Pulls me closer
Every time
I suddenly realize
All the love and hate
Feel the same inside
Our darkest stars collide

I won’t cry out loud
Standing alone in the mess that you left me with
I feel your gravity
Pulling me down again
Pulling me
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms

Gravity

So many roads to follow 
So many rivers to seek 
So many mountains and bays
All them stars on display 
Won’t you come run away with me 

So many trails to step upon 
So many peaks to reach 
So many colours and coves 
Tiny islands to roam 
Wont you come run away with me 

Cause I, I’ve been thinking 
This town ain’t what it used to be 
And I, I’ve been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine trees 
And sunsets over lake Louise 
Wont you come run away with me   

To much time stuck in the city
To many days lost to a screen 
Subways and trains
tall buildings and cranes 
Its, gonna drive a man insane 

Well I need a week out in the woodland 
With a lantern and kerosene 
Pine cones and sparks 
September dark 
Wont you come run away with me 

Cause I, I’ve been thinking 
This town ain’t what it used to be 
And I, I’ve been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine trees 
And sunsets over lake Louise   

Cause I, I’ve been thinking 
This town ain’t where we both should be 
And I, I’ve been wandering 
If you’ll wander round this world with me 

Cause I, I’ve been thinking 
This town ain’t what it used to be 
And I, I’ve been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine trees 
And sunsets over lake Louise 
Of you wandering this world with me

Breathe

He came when you were weak
you had such bad conscience
It was a little too soon
but you weren't ready to regret

It was sincere and secure
different and precise
You remembered the smile
remembered the clothes
remembered every single feeling
Remembered the rhythm of the heartbeat

Your mind is heavy 
and you’re ready 
to do anything
to feel safe again
and to share your thoughts
And even if too soon
you finally felt something
You remembered the smile
remembered the clothes
remembered every single feeling
Remembered the rhythm of the heartbeat

And as you get up
remember to breathe
This won't make your world collapse 
after all
Even when the mornings weigh more 
than your head can bear
You're still there 
and breathe the same air

And as you get up
remember to breathe
This won't make your world collapse 
after all
Even when the mornings weigh more 
than your head can bear
You're still there 
and breathe the same air

This won't make your world collapse 
after all

I hate being so cynical
I hate feeling so
Cautious and jaded and scared

What has made us this way?
Who has led us so far astray?
Surely this can’t be
All we can be

Can we undo it all?
Lay down the armor
Of smooth and easy insincerity

Oh, how good would that be?  

I hate being so hard
I hate going through motions
And feeling so dead inside

Sometimes this isolation is crushing me
And it’s hard to figure out how I should be
How I can be
Different

Can we undo it all
With openness, courage and love?
Can I reach out to you?
And you to me?

Oh, how good would that be?

Different

Lyrics:

"They’ll call you crazy," 
they always do,
say you’re chasing 
things no one pursues.
They’ll roll their eyes, 
they’ll shake their heads,
“Who are you to dream that big?” they said.

They don’t understand,
you were made for this.
They won’t see it coming,
you carry the gift.
You hold the strength,
you bring the shift.

“You know nothing,” 
they will shout,
“Where’s your title? 
What’s your route?”
They’ll laugh and point 
from their safe ground,
while you’re building storms 
without a sound.

They don’t understand,
you were made for this.
They won’t see it coming,
you carry the gift.
You hold the strength,
you bring the shift.

You walk alone, 
but not in fear,
your fire speaks 
when none will hear.
Born with light 
they tried to dim,
but stars don’t ask 
the world to grin.

Let them doubt, let them resist,
true change was never born to fit.
The wheel of life won’t place you high or low
it takes you where you’re meant to go.
But only a few know how to draw
the map that leads through fire and flaw.

They don’t understand,
you were made for this.
They won’t see it coming,
you carry the gift.
You hold the strength,
you bring the shift.

So stand your ground 
and face the fire,
you were never meant 
to just admire.
The world will change 
because you stayed—
not when they clapped,
but when they swayed.

The wheel of life

Wings once stretched to touch the sky
A shadow cast so broad and high
The symbol strong a nation's pride
But every rise meets time's cruel tide

Feathers bright like golden flame
A predator with a mighty name
Through valleys deep and mountains steep
The eagle soared where dreams could leap

Oh eagle bold oh eagle free
What happened to your majesty
From heights you fell a story told
Of power lost and wings grown cold

The rivers whispered tales of flight
The forests hummed of strength and might
But progress came with steel and smoke
And nature bent until it broke

The cries of prey now fade away
The sky grows still where once you’d play
But hope remains in hearts and land
A second chance a helping hand

Oh eagle bold oh eagle free
What happened to your majesty
From heights you fell a story told
Of power lost and wings grown cold
