Lyrics --
You hit the ground so hard, it's a wonder you're awake,
You walk alone, but I'll wait for you.
The storm at sea, and the changing tides,
Pull our city's streets into the night.
So you turn and run through the mud and the stones,
And our rivers might run dry, but they'll never run alone.
//Let your tears, roll down,
When nothing feels right,
I will stay closer than the night.//
Mirrors will crack and portraits will fall,
And doors will close and open for any man at all,
If the clocks still work then keep the time,
I'll be waiting for you through all the long cold days and nights.
//Let your tears roll down,
When nothing feels right,
I will, stay closer than the night,//
I'll be down at the seashore, when your tears fall down like rain,
From your eyes, like an electric storm,
From your soul, like gentle waves.
//Let your tears roll down,
When nothing feels right,
I will, stay closer than the night,//

Desperation

Lyrics --
(Love is just another word for desperation)
What's up, what's down?
What's leaving you, what's coming back around?
What's your motivation? What's your motivation?
I've been, so low,
And I think that you love me but I don't know,
It's all in traslation, lost in translation.
//I've been living for this,
Desperation. Desperation.
Love has burned me down to my foundations,
Oh, oh, desperation.//
What's new, what's the same?
It's been so long since you called my name,
Feels like starvation, feels like starvation.
Who's right, who's wrong?
If I'm just missing out on a chance to belong,
Then it's my imagination, my imagination that,
//I've been living for this,
Desperation. Desperation.
Love has burned me down to my foundations,
Oh, oh, desperation.//
Come on, back down.
Give it a try if you don't know how,
No time for education, no time to educate.
Don't swim, and you'll sink,
You've gotta say it if it's how you think.
There's always temptation, oh the temptation.
//I've been living for this,
Desperation. Desperation.
Love has burned me down to my foundations,
Oh, oh, desperation.//

Bullet Proof

Lyrics --
You painted over all the cracks, so no one could see it,
You hid your heart behind your back, so you couldn't feel it.
You ran from the silence that chases you around,
Cause in that silence, the world breaks you down.
You look so beautiful tonight, with your glass heart inside.
Oh my love, I'll be there.
You've loved too much not to cry,
All those tears trapped in your eyes,
Let them go.
You ran from everything that dragged you down,
Where will you run to now?
//Yeah, I know, we've got everything to lose,
And I want you to know,
Right now, you don't have to be bullet proof,
Just let it go.//
The shadows have been my closest friends, as I lay underneath them,
I can't help thinking how much I'm bent, and what I wouldn't give just to begin again.
The streets I walk to lead me home, are the streets I'm walking on my own.
//Yeah, I know, we've got everything to lose,
And I want you to know,
Right now, you don't have to be bullet proof,
Just let it go.//
Who wants a way out when you are, shining like a star, in the eyes of the world,
Who wants to climb down to the ground, and carry me out, out of sight of the world,
//Yeah, I know, we've got everything to lose,
And I want you to know,
Right now, you don't have to be bullet proof,
Just let it go.//

The Valley Of Dry Bones

Lyrics --
Cold water, carry me away,
Over the distant sky.
In the city, the rain began to fall,
For all who have no reason to cry.
Can this valley of dry bones awake,
And walk into the light?
God only knows who will rise and who will fall.
Whose bones will sit and dry.
Cold water, pour from Heaven's Gates,
And clean the dust from the stars.
Let the light shine on every brick and mortar soul.
Let the rain wash my heart.
Bring this valley of dry bones to life,
And wipe the sleep from my eyes.
Every road must surely meet an end,
For every tear I've cried.
Cold water and thunder split the sky.
Rise up from your sleep.
The sun will break the clouds and the rain will disappear,
Once we all find a reason to weep.
