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

The Song is Blue
05:00
|
|||
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

But That's Just Me
06:00
|

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

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
