Aurore 05:01
I sing the prayer of a slave being sold And the chains that are wrapped in hells hold Set me free dear lord come to me And break the pain of a life beneath the yoke

Endings 03:54
Walking on the bones of lovers past Endings like the music in her heart She turns the music up to drown out her life The rotten sounds of his words Burn like candle wax upon her golden skin Blisters help her pain She writes the letter that she promised she would write She finds the sentences she needs The clock is ticking on his moribund charade She cuts his words and sees them bleed Walk the long and winding path Walk alone and breathe at last Run the corridors of your mind Prayers said in different times She turns the scribbled pages on the diary of her life And old love letters make her cry Caressing words from some long forgotten past Misled her mind and her heart She turns away from the biting hungry wind Let her feelings get their way She turns another page in the book of secrets lost Will he ever leave her mind and go away Walk the long and winding path Walk alone and breathe at last Burn the rumours from your mind Forget his words they made you blind Walking on the bones of lovers past Endings like the music in her heart

Sleeping with someone And breaking the rule of thumb Come suddenly from out of the blue Making your bed is a strange kind of step For somebody who doesn't know what it means Drinking in all kinds of madness Taking all of their sadness The song is so blue She's turning from you To the other side of the world in your bed The letter you saved Sort of gave it away You won't try to be hard ever again Sinking in all kinds of drama Smiling but just for the camera Lately she's wearing a frown Digging and prying and she won't stop crying The song takes a turn for the worse The shame of her asking to be someone that she Believes she'd be better off as The songs turning once more As she tears what she once wore Forgetting that it was once her favourite gift The mood matches indigo But her life is so-so She's talking now but you cannot speak Drinking in all of her candour Wishing is all that you hoped for Lately she's talking you down Cheating and lying and still won't stop crying The song makes a line for the door Maybe and one day she'll try for the clean way Believing she'll see so much more

I am a man who will turn on a friend If the weathers not right I'll turn round and bite To get my own end I am the one won't get anything done Won't do things for free You can't count on me I do nothing for fun I won't bat an eye when I see children die In a war overseas If it won't affect me Or anyone close When people shed tears for the long weary years When the famine bites deep I won't lose any sleep But that's just me I could lend a hand if I was half a man But it costs too much I swear I'd help if I could and I promise I would But then I'd have to care If I had a heart you could cut it apart And you would see it won't bleed It's not something I need It just keeps me alive I will always come first and if you have a thirst At my well you may drink But you'll pay at my sink Or don't even try If disaster should strike on a hot foreign night And the news fills your screen I'll consider it seen And turn to the fight If you want things for free then don't come to me I don't work that way You can bribe me with pay But that's just me

Em Esus4 Em Esus4 Em9 Em7 I find my broken pieces in you Em9 Em7 In times of innocence and all you've got Em add9 Em add 11 Loving you is easy, missing you is not A6/E Em add 11 You are my daily bread Em add9/add11 Bm I'm dried of all this despair A6/E Em add 11 Finding, liking, passing train A6/E Em add 11 Bm Em And empty of all despair Em Esus4......................................... I break the lonely strands of my past I call your name like a prayer Losing you was easy Finding you is not She was my only thought A lifetime in six months Breathing in and breathing out I only loved her once E E7 Breathing in for the first time E E7 Breathing out for the last time A6/E Em add 9 Em add 11 Bm Em Em Asus 4 I find my broken pieces in you The cancer keeps on breathing Lying waking always thinking None of it is true You are my daily bread My life is not despair Asking finding nothing all her lies So empty like here stare
