The river 05:03
The River I’ve been stretched too thin I’ve got permeable skin Go down to the river and I soak it all in Been down to the river Like the saint and the sinner Cast off my coat and I’m sinking deeper Kneel down in the water Feel the current growing stronger Let my mind drift away I’ve been to the bottom Dull, drab and rotten I took my place among the forgotten I’ve been left for dead I’ve got a hole in my head Eyes open wide, see the water turning red Oh river Wash away my wrongs Run deeper Take me where I belong
2.
Let me sleep 03:34
Let Me Sleep It’s raining roses My feet are trapped in gelatine All I can taste is moonlight on my skin Let me sleep, let me sleep Just a little bit longer A dozing hornet in the palm of my hand I watch you building a fortress made of sand Let me sleep, let me sleep Just a little bit deeper I know you’re gone I know you left me before dawn So please don’t wake me Let me dream on I am floating Suspended on cotton wool I’m not crying Your shadow will see me through
3.
Torn in two 04:04
Torn In Two Stones in my pocket Water in my ears Deep in darkness A sinking fear You You’re gonna save the world You Got a lot of nerve Mouth to mouth won’t heal me Don’t you know that I’ve been… Torn in two? You can’t mend me, make me new Torn in two I’m too broken for you I’ve been entangled Mangled, ensnared A wounded animal Teeth laid bare You You’re gonna save the world You Got a lot of nerve To take me home and feed me Don’t you know that I’ve been… Maybe in time We’ll intertwine Connect and combine
4.
Come find me 05:34
Come Find Me I know I won’t sleep tonight I keep turning inside out Shadows swarming by my side Devil’s dancing on my mind I’m lost again Dead weight drags me down I worm my way deep underground Weather worn, I wander on Wonder where my mind has gone I’m lost again Come find me, come find me And take me home back to you Black road I walk down Just leads me round and round I cannot hide under my bed From the monster in my head I feel you coming You’re reaching in I’m waiting I hear you calling I’m listening I’m waiting
5.
You Bring Me Down I see your eyes in the mirror Looking back through time The memory couldn't be clearer In my clouded mind I remember what you said Planted demons in my head I was helpless in your prison Haggard, haunted, hollow I have grown, I have risen Above your long shadow But whenever you're around You can still bring me down You bring me down You bring me down You say you hold me dear You keep me bound You bring me down I am a part of you Your blood runs through my veins I have your temper too But you are not the one to blame Generation to generation You only give what you've been given
6.
Show Me Your Light Little star Show me your light Little star Guide me through the night The blazing sun has gone All is dark, I'm alone Little star Show me your light Little star Keep it burning bright Up above, so high You're a diamond in my sky How I wonder what you are Little star Show me your light Little star Take me home tonight
