Another log rolls from the fire
As hours drift away
A soft goodbye that cracks the sky
And hatches night from day
A subtle tone
Takes your own
You follow
Failing seams
In waking dreams
Into your head
These bitter hands relieve their hold
Drawn in by foreign flames
This time we steal and warmth we feel
A scene played out in frames
A subtle tone
Takes your own
You follow
Failing seams
In waking dreams
Into your head
Another tone
You've made your own
To follow
Open seams
In waking dreams
Into your head
The priest split his eyes in a fit of cold lies
When he found his true sight in his sleep
And the mourners they gathered where shipyards were shattered
Condemning his mind to the deep
So the bell that was tolled dragged the young from the old
For a bargain struck far too steep
Now dig in those heels if you value what's real
These illusions are ours to keep
The beggar prince took his throne
And spoke of times he tried
And as the castle tumbled down
His audience arrived

Escapism

I can't quite shake this feeling
When the walls are closing in
Can't seem to remember why
Or how it came to be this way
I just know that I've got to get away
While these days pass me by
Somewhere else I can't describe
Waiting for me to return
And next time I'm ready to stay
I just know that I've got to get away
Will you take me now
We could never look back again
We could close our minds, forget all our friends
And fall into their traps once more
Out that door
No hero will leap from the screen
Not when it falls back onto you and me
But somehow we'll find our own way
To escape
No bringing me back this time
Can't convince me I'm not right
Tell me I need to get clean
Or just let this body decay
But you can't always get it your own way
Will you take me now
We could never look back again
We could close our minds, forget all our friends
And fall into their traps once more
Out that door
No hero will leap from the screen
Not when it falls back onto you and me
But somehow we'll find our own way
To escape

The Silver Moon

Out on the bridge no one waits
No one
No one, no one waits
Under the sky no one waits
No one
No one, no one waits
The people of the night closing in about their targets
Behind their locked doors they will shudder and whisper for
Another dream
Picture this for a while
Adrift on vapour tides
Show me what's outside your window
Painted colours fade into disarray
Summer left us with an autumn day
Shadowing the light of a burning youth
Tell me everything
When it's too late for the truth to be heard
Before we fall we've got to fly
Melting wax wings up in the sky
And far too young to die
Twenty seven feels alive
But I won't be the first of us to go
Descending to the ground below
Underneath the silver moon
Another one that's gone too soon
River runs wild
And leads us out to the sea
Where cold winds blow by
They're taking me to what I need
Out on the bridge no one waits
No one
No one, no one waits
Under the sky no one waits
No one
No one, no one waits
The people of the night closing in about their targets
Behind their locked doors they will shudder and whisper for
Another dream
Before we fall we've got to fly
Melting wax wings up in the sky
And far too young to die
Twenty seven feels alive
But I won't be the first of us to go
Descending to the ground below
Underneath the silver moon
Another one that's gone too soon

Building
Up brick by brick
There's no release
Alone
He found his peace
Preacher
Caught in the storm
Blessing these walls
Patience
The morning calls
Screaming
Scriptures
Catatonic
Laid in this tomb with no sleep
Bleeding
Left in the darkness
Clinging to vultures
They've taken
All he's got
The life he lost
Upon sickly wings
Lifted from halos
A risen prince
Indifferent
He sings
For the sun

Horizons

Only when you have seen
The first light of dawn
Rising like before
Only when you can feel
The rush of the wind
Wrapping around you like it did before
A subtle tone
Has changed your world
You're older
Only when you have known
What's there all along
The constellations crowning everyone
A subtle tone
Has changed your world
You're older
Another tone
Has changed your world
Forever
The moment's gone
But always there
In time
Everything you told me
And everything you say
Changes meaning
When you think your work is done
Life no longer on the run
Another calling
And outside there's a new day dawning
