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

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

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

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

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

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
