Final Hour
04:58
|
|||
We came into this world alone
And life decides our fate however much we contemplate
Headed for the great unknown
Each and every one of us
Is gonna have to be strong enough inside
Every road will lead us to another
We go on, it always ends and it always ends the same
In the final hour would you bow when you meet your maker
In the final hour would you take a bow when you hear the curtain call
Do you know yourself to show yourself or would you be a faker
In the final hour would you take a bow when the writings on the wall
And we go on, on and on
Feels like there’s no way out
No matter how we try and ours is not to reason why
You know there can be no doubt
The time will surely come to keep the equilibrium
Memories is all that we are left with
Who we are, is everything that we try to hold on to
In the final hour would you bow when you meet your maker
In the final hour would you take a bow when you hear the curtain call
Do you know yourself to show yourself or would you be a faker
In the final hour would you take a bow when the writings on the wall
And we go on, on and on, we go on, every one of us
Had a dream and it turned to dust
Had a love didn’t want enough
Had a heart didn’t love enough
Nothing good’s gonna last forever
Had it all but I wanted more
Didn’t stop till I hit the floor
All I know is what I knew before
Nothing good’s gonna last forever
We go on, every one of us, and it always ends the same
And the wheels of time go on and on forever turning
Never ending no beginning til the final hour

Numb
05:35
|
|
||
Lonely in a crowd, it’s a cliché, it’s a friend to me
And the buzzing in my brain so removed I feel no pain
And for all I know I could be having the time of my life
Calling from the deep, I can hear it, going down I’m going down
Out of here is out of touch and out of mind is all too much
And for all I know I could be having the time of my life
Having the time of my life
How could I ever know
Being without from within
I’m numb
Standing as still as I can, in the middle, of the chaos
That I brought upon myself, I become somebody else
And for all I know I could be having the time of my life
Hapless intuition, escapes me, it eludes me
And the clowns have gone and left me
And the jokers they were right
And for all I know I could be having the time of my life
Having the time of my life
How could I ever know
Being without from within
I’m numb
And for all I know
I could be having the time of my life
Taking the easy way down
Being without from within
I am numb
For all I know I could be having the time of my life
For all I know I could be having the time, having the time of my life

Feels So Good
04:29
|
|

So good being with you
Even think that I should be together
Any way and any day
In all and anytime forever
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
I’m not happy at all
I’ve given up the chase and now I’m aching
I know in my heart may be you’re the one
It’s better when you’re here not gone
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Hey, why don’t you leave me down here all alone
Say, why don’t you leave me out here in the cold
Oh no, should I let you go
If you’re never gonna need me now you never will, anyhow
Hey, can you hear me say
If you’re never gonna need me now, you’re never ever gonna need me at all
So good being with you
Whether you’re here or far away
Best thing I ever did, ooh the best thing I ever did
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
Feels so good, so good
So good being with you yeah
(Any time forever)
Any way and any day
May be you’re the one
(Any time forever)
So good being with you

Apathy
05:29
|
|
||
It’s a long way down when you’re high above the ground
It’s a long long way to fall when you think you’re standing taller than the rest
And you’re turning into someone you detest, dressed in your apathy
And you feel no shame, it’s the nature of the game
It’s the chance you take when you think that you can make it on your own
And me and mine is all you’ve ever known, all you could ever be
And you, feeling safer in the sound
And you, so high you never touch the ground
And you, hear a voice inside your head
And you ask yourself is it really worth it and you don’t know
When you’ve gone too far and you’re losing who you are
And you’re cold inside and there’s nowhere left to hide away the pain
And you tell yourself time and time again, everything will be alright
Were you born this way, does it make you wanna say
It’s too late now if you’re tryna to work out how to carry on
Been living life this way for far too long, far too long
And you, feeling safer in the sound
And you, so high you never touch the ground
And you, hear a voice inside your head
And you ask yourself is it really worth it and you don’t know
Is it really worth it, what are we going to do
And you, feeling safer in the sound
And you, so high you never touch the ground
And you, hear a voice inside your head
And you ask yourself is it really worth it and you don’t know

Worried Mind
05:17
|
|
||
I see red, when I see blue
Clouds my mind, with a darkened hue
When I go to pieces, I go too far
And I don’t know what I’m doing, cos I’m not here
I can be the good guy, I do it well
And only for a short time, you can never tell
I’ll show you my right side and left side too
And if you saw the real side, you may have to leave
I never see blue skies, I never see sunny days
The hardest part is when it’s all about to break and I have found
Living too many lifetimes, can leave a mark on you
And it all feels so familiar
It gets so bad I afraid, I might bring the whole world down with me
I close my eyes, and disappear
Follow the noises, and there’s nothing there
And the darkest thoughts, all that’s left behind
In the shattered pieces of my worried mind
I never see blue skies, I never see sunny days
The hardest part is when it’s all about to break and I have found
Living too many lifetimes, can leave a mark on you
And it all feels so familiar
It gets so bad I afraid, I might bring the whole world down with me
(And it all feels so familiar)

Please
05:41
|
|
||
Only echoes of a shallow tune
Lead a dancer for a while
Faded faces see across the room
Long forgotten, out of time
Lights soften down, there’s no-one around
The scene dissolving
Please, please, please
Ode to the chances of faraway left behind
I think of you
In the space on the side of sublime
And you say
The way is dark in the light of your eyes
And they’re both burning
Is anything ever the way it appears to be
At all in our lives
Moving through the day in a gentle slow
Takes the nearer far away
The final scene in the sad picture show
The Technicolor has turned to grey
Bird on a wire, a song to inspire
And no-one’s listening
Please, please, please
Ode to the chances of faraway left behind
I think of you
In the space on the side of sublime
And you say
The way is dark in the light of your eyes
And they’re both burning
Is anything ever the way it appears to be
At all in our lives
In my life
A life and years wasted, so far so bad but I believe
I have cried myself to sleep, for promises I’ll never never never keep
And its still, playing, on my mind
I still believe (So far away left behind)

Brave Heart
05:21
|
|

Brave heart, you’ve got a brave heart
Trouble with you baby
You got a brave heart
Brave heart, you’ve got a brave heart
Trouble with you baby
You got a brave heart
Walking tightrope
Never get too far
You’re so high hope
That’s the way you are
Raining, raining, raining down on you
And it’s tearing you apart
You got a brave heart
Trouble with you baby
You got a brave heart
Ooh you got a brave heart
Ooh you got a brave heart
Ooh
Overloaded
Under lock and key
You’re so lo-fi
Will you ever see
Raining, raining, raining down on you
Got to find a reason
You got a brave heart
Trouble with you baby
You got a brave heart
Ooh you got a brave heart
Ooh you got a brave heart
Ooh
You got a brave heart
And you know in your mind you’ll be fine if you’re taking it easy
You got a brave heart
And the shape that you’re in it’s the way that you’ve been from the start
You got a brave heart

Is It Cool
05:30
|
|
||
Danger danger hides behind a mirror never let me be
Smiling on both faces and I don’t like what I see
Sure footed so sure footed can’t keep up with you
Draggin’ my chains draggin’ ‘em draggin’
Is the best that I can do
And my lifeline is slipping through my fingers
And the sins of a hundred lay heavy on my chest
And I’m thinking if my life should end this very moment here
Then may be it would be for the best
Is it cool, is it cool, all senses lay down darker with the fool, yeah
Hard pushing pushing at the thin line holding back the fear
Silently screaming and I don’t like what I hear
Imperfection burns in my reflection and you know darn well
Try to fill the cracks up, but everybody else can tell
And my lifeline is slipping through my fingers
And the sins of a hundred lay heavy on my chest
And I’m thinking if my life should end this very moment here
Then may be it would be for the best
Is it cool, is it cool, all senses lay down darker with the fool, yeah
And I know even though I’ve given it all away
It was never the intention for me to follow a cause without prevention
And it’s all that I can do to keep myself together, I gotta keep myself together
And my lifeline is slipping through my fingers
And the sins of a hundred lay heavy on my chest
And I’m thinking if my life should end this very moment here
Then may be it would be for the best
Is it cool, is it cool, all senses lay down darker with the fool
Is it cool, best I can do
Senses lay down darker with the fool, lay down darker

Nearer
05:44
|
|

Sanctuary for me, is always out of reach, no matter how I try
All I want is to be free, and to feel, and the moment to be wonderful
What kind of miracle am I hoping for
To wake up wasted washed up here
And I was hoping for more
But if I keep on moving
With every step I take, I feel, I’m getting nearer, nearer
What kind of memory have I left behind
Another place somebody else from a time long time ago
Can’t stop now keep on moving
It may not be right now, but I feel I’m getting nearer, nearer
Ahhh, sweet salvation and peace of mind
Well, here’s to them that go on, the rest of us weary
And carry their burden, in a silence of sadness
And here’s to the ones, who never find easy
All hope for them gone and they’re going nowhere
Sanctuary for me, is always out of reach, no matter how I try
All I want is to be free, and to feel, and the moment to be wonderful
Sanctuary has always been out of reach, no matter how I try
(I’m getting nearer and nearer)

Being Broken
04:57
|
|
||
And the heart that beats for evermore never breaks
It’s hard to get around this feeling
When for a fool a lover takes
And who waits on the other side and how long
Before being broken in the heart
Without any satisfaction
And nobody sets you free
Maybe it’s just a reaction
For somebody just like me
Ah, ah, ah somebody just like me
And the path of broken promises left behind
It’s just another tragic failure
That weighs so heavy on my mind
And please show me the difference in this case
From those who are broken from the start
So tell me I should cry an ocean
While waiting for tears to fall
Couldn’t I just go through the motions
If I’m feeling nothing at all
Ah, ah, ah somebody just like me
So tell me I should cry an ocean (gone and passes by)
While waiting for tears to fall (feeling nothing)
Couldn’t I just go through the motions
If I’m feeling nothing at all
Ah, ah, ah somebody just like me
