Lyrics
go on
I feel broken
Torn wide open
Lost a good friend
To a sad end
We were so close
Now it’s over
Fill the aching
With sad singing
Go on
On
Go on
Calm and hoping
I’ll be chosen
To go heal
Break the seal
On this aching
Caught not chasing
Watch her breaking
Helpless praying
chariots / maybe one day you can fly away
Lights go down
As the stars come up
You feel so tired
Like you're giving up
The days are long
And they're full of hurt
You lay there watch the ceiling burn
Maybe one day you can fly away
you pray
Maybe one day you can fly away
One day you'll be lifted up by the chariots
Things you think and the things you say
Tear you down make you feel afraid
Is there anywhere were you feel safe
that makes your troubles all just float away?
all the streets look the same
Now that you’ve left for the day I miss you
Only the loneliness stays I feel blue
It can be so hard to keep a friend today
Drift in my own thoughts everything’s so grey
All the streets look the same without you
Fall from peace, shook don’t know what to do
Won’t you come home
Weight on my chest need a way to escape
Can’t be still when you are so far away
It can be so hard to keep a friend today
Drift in my own thoughts don’t think I’m ok
a place for you
Faults in your stars
Trying so hard to find love
the mistakes in your past
make you look back
keeping you off the right path
The things that you say
that tear you away
from a home
Oh I know you mean well
but you're broken as hell
Can't make it out on your own
There will always be a place for you here
you can try again now
you can make it out
You hope that you're right
Stay strong in the fight
but you're tired
if you could just let go
and still somehow know
that you'd make it out on your own
that there would always be a place for you here
you can try again now
you can make it out
to be happy (ft. Juniper Vale)
I don't want to lose you to the wind
but the storm in your heart is pulling you in
I don't want to see those big tears
and all of your thoughts filling with fear
I will hold you be the firm foundation
Cry I'll hold you be the still and patient
I just want to feel you like the wind
Let the rush of your touch cover my skin
I just want to laugh til we see tears
Let the dreams that we dream chase out the fear
so I will hold you be the firm foundation
'cause I love you and I want you to be happy
to be happy
people’s heartaches make others’ hearts break
I'm feeling so lost
Can't read the map where to go
'Cause we hurt each other so=
these broken words
and broken bones
I need a sunrise
A pleasant surprise
to rest
my weary head is full of pain
and so much heavy stress
and people's heartaches
makes others hearts break
and so the story goes
I need to know there's hope
behind this rain and all this snow
sometimes love is not enough
We all got married at the same age
But time has brought its twists and aches
Growing old means some dreams will fail
And losing loved ones fills us with pain
The stars seemed brighter when I was young
Now that life has beaten us down
Friends all smile and say that they’re fine
But rumor has it they’re just getting by
Sometimes love is not enough
The excitement they’re having a kid
Just to lose him on New Year’s Eve
Held to hope and said words of love
A miracle that never showed up
'Cause sometimes love is not enough
You still get hurt and life’s still rough
Love give me love through the pain
Through months
Of wondering what is to gain
From this loss
Give me love
not the end / and when you look at the stars
Feels like the weight of the world
is hanging heavy tonight.
Sometimes it's hard to be strong
And when the heartache it hurts
keep getting caught in the fight
it feels like everything's wrong
I've seen enough to know that life is tough.
I'll be the hand to hold when it's too much.
It hurts now more than ever
You can start again.
'cause love will last forever
this is not the end.
And when you look at the stars
I hope they help you hold on
and light the way as you go.
I've seen enough to know that life gets dark.
So when you need a hand to hold I won't be far.
glow in the dark (ft. Ekaterina Shelehova)
Carry all the pains that are heavy
all the weight leaves you empty
you're feeling worn
Snow fall and the winter feels so long
there's no sleep in this cold dark
you can't get warm
You are never really on your own
there is a love out there that you can call your home
there is a light that turns on when you're feeling alone
You are never really on your own
know that the shine inside will always keep you strong
Just listen to your own heart
you can glow in the dark
Sorrow is a burden that brings low
and you've tried just to let go
Still holding on
Smile but your insides are wild
running blind through the miles of
broken hopes
give it up
Chasing after peace by making war
Losing yourself to make things worse
And you just can’t seem to find your solid ground
Every time you’re up you’re falling down
Let the weight fall from your heart
Give it up now (all for love)
the london air raids
And we sit here so close in the dark
And we're so close to being torn apart
Every crash I can feel in our foundation
It runs through my veins and I hate the sensation
But I know that I'm safe here with you
'Cause we made it through everything, the old and the new
Just wake me up when all this is over
Wake me up and tell me it's not true
My sweet love, watch the air raids
As the streets of London are not safe
I wish that we could escape
As the beat of the drum keeps on its play
I long to feel the rain on my face
So I wait, I want the bombs to fade away
And the hum of the airplanes is such a sweet sound
As we're coming up from underground
Coming up to see our ruined state
Coming up to see those ruins that you've made
And in the East, I hear a nation shout
And we wait for the day when we can sing it out
