I'll take my jacket off Only if we'll stay a while Your mind was made up Driving round to pass the time All through my childhood I walked these streets passed every day For this place is changing A shadow of what I would claim I think about the gardens roamed Amongst the English roses there is stood is stood the place we own Surrounded by the houses They set it on fire Don't look back we'll flee from this city We'll fight our desire Don't look back for fear that we'll turn to salt And I hear my hearts cry To my head my hands my feet Speaks of this city This feast I find my table seat They'll find our absence To empty chairs perverse our names But this place is changing A shadow of what I would claim I think about the gardens roamed Amongst the English roses there is stood is stood the place we own Surrounded by the houses They set it on fire Don't look back we'll flee from this city We'll fight our desire Don't look back for fear that we'll turn to salt They set it on fire Don't look back we'll flee from this city We'll fight our desire Don't look back for fear that we'll turn to salt

This Time 03:17
Push my weight into the ground I never thought I'd make it Dust in my mouth I have found I never thought I'd take it On On We were thinking about this world we made together Time will come back around This time this time I'll say I love you Calm my conscience it's overrun I'll bear this measure Time will come back around This time this time I'll say I love you I'll say I love you Clear my thoughts so I can hear I always thought I said it Touch to know if you are near You're further than you let it On On We were thinking about this world we made together Time will come back around This time this time I'll say I love you Calm my conscience it's overrun I'll bear this measure Time will come back around This time this time I'll say I love you I'll say I love you We were thinking about this world we made together Time will come back around This time this time I'll say I love you Calm my conscience it's overrun I'll bear this measure Time will come back around This time this time I'll say I love you I'll say I love you

We walk to the river And rinse the dirt from our feet The path cuts through the Trees which shield relief We'll claim this hidden ground as our own Yes we'll claim this hidden ground as our home. We're never turning back to the place that we've come from Sit by the riverside we don't care that the suns gone. And all that you noted Evades my eyes The long for this river Will fade with time We'll claim this hidden ground as our own Yes we'll claim this hidden ground as our home. We're never turning back to the place that we've come from Sit by the riverside we don't care that the suns gone. We'll claim this hidden ground as our own Yes we'll claim this hidden ground as our home. We'll claim this hidden ground as our own Yes we'll claim this hidden ground as our home. We're never turning back to the place that we've come from Sit by the riverside we don't care that the suns gone. We're never turning back to the place that we've come from Sit by the riverside we don't care that the suns gone.

Heartbeat 03:14
All of these dreams that I have searched lie over the mountain but the sun on my skin makes me want to stay For my mind that absorbs the things that I've read is confused when my heart won't align with my head Summer comes kisses the fields but this heart won't beat forever Seasons pass with greater ease but this heart won't beat forever Held to the cord of my ambition hemmed by the wayside But this pull on my hand begs me to be free For my mind that absorbs the things that I've read is confused when my heart won't align with my head Summer comes kisses the fields but this heart won't beat forever Seasons pass with greater ease but this heart won't beat forever Heartbeat carries on I'm looking for a way over my Mountain clothed in sun I'm hoping I won't run out of time Summer comes kisses the fields but this heart won't beat forever Seasons pass with greater ease but this heart won't beat forever

The Fall 03:36
This citadel this heavy name this stake to which I lay my claim we're coming down we'll fall again back to the old road This is the life we've chosen Now this space grows colder This is the life we've chosen Can't get away from the robes you're clothed in You've said enough now to be safe You've seen these lines form across your face Clutch to youth for your namesake Caught like a dreamer This is the life we've chosen Now this space grows colder This is the life we've chosen You'll fight the fall Holding on for your dear life Just feel the tension grow That foreign toil I wish I could cure the strife Stop slipping here below Appearing through my empty gaze I see this form beyond the haze Now you're eclipsed by this new day born to a lover This is the life we've chosen Now this space grows colder This is the life we've chosen You'll fight the fall Holding on for your dear life Just feel the tension grow That foreign toil I wish I could cure the strife Stop slipping here below

These Trees 04:18
I'm overthrown Longing for the doves which fled these trees Just to return This foreign home move to douse the flames that plague this dream I won't watch it burn I'll fight before I fall seek out the man I used to know Stand fast amongst it all grounded by this stone I long to overthrow my fears I'll stand and know my heart is clear I'm overthrown Longing for the doves which fled these trees Just to return This foreign home move to douse the flames that plague this dream I won't watch it burn This sodden ground I'll crawl Through mist plagued plains I will emerge Ten fold repaid in all Still grounded by this stone I long to overthrow my fears I'll stand and know my heart is clear I'm overthrown Longing for the doves which fled these trees Just to return This foreign home move to douse the flames that plague this dream I won't watch it burn I will never leave your side I long to overthrow my fears I'll stand and know my heart is clear I'm overthrown Longing for the doves which fled these trees Just to return This foreign home move to douse the flames that plague this dream I won't watch it burn

Piano Song 02:49
I'm coming before the Silence that sees my figure drown I'm waling beside the shore You're all i have left once more We will run From the dust of which we've come Just to return This time forever we will know We've stood before All those scars which we once bore But now we'll run Until our hearts last beat is done

Picture Of 03:28
Take my hand through everything I've found the courage of my youth To guide us to the shore We won't hide from anything This is the picture of our youth To guide us to the shore Running through the mire that coats this land Just say you're here Fighting for the words I'll understand Just say you're here Come towards the light dear We'll find the colours of our dreams discarded on the floor I can't afford the fight dear This is the picture of our dreams discarded on the floor Running through the mire that coats this land Just say you're here Fighting for the words I'll understand Just say you're here I'm waiting cause in time we'll go under No need to take me there I'm waiting cause in time we'll go under No need to take me there Running through the mire that coats this land Just say you're here Fighting for the words I'll understand Just say you're here

Only Words 03:21
It's calm in the water still But I won't come to the depths to greet you And now that I finally feel I'll rise from the pit that will soon defeat you It's hard not to live my life Like it's only words It's hard not to live my life Like it's only words My thoughts and I became lost In the city that sleeps Bound to debt there I lay With my back to the wall And now that I've come for you this shoreline will call for the depths beneath it My lungs filled with smoke ensue A breath that will grasp my own fear to meet it It's hard not to live my life Like it's only words It's hard not to live my life Like it's only words My thoughts and I became lost In the city that sleeps Bound to debt there I lay With my back to the wall We were holding back the tears We were holding back the tears For I know this life draws near From the city we were swept to different shores My thoughts and I became lost In the city that sleeps Bound to debt there I lay With my back to the wall

This I Know 04:30
This I know For Bacchus we kissed and we hid in our wistful youth Now we've grown With fruit here we bear Our leaves the don't dare to wilt Dark ropes climb this mast That seldom will last We were doomed from the start Doomed from the start We fell from this grace Wrong course set to chase We were doomed from the start This I know For Bacchus we kissed and we hid in our wistful youth Now we've grown With fruit here we bear Our leaves the don't dare to wilt And though this harvest surpassed the hopes held in hearts The rain failed to fall The rain failed to fall Though we scorched the land Our mistakes held in hand We failed to fall For Bacchus we kissed and we hid in our wistful youth With fruit here we bear Our leaves the don't dare to wilt This I know For Bacchus we kissed and we hid in our wistful youth Now we've grown With fruit here we bear Our leaves the don't dare to wilt
