Broken Home

Every time you make me want to cry,
I can see the devil in your eye.
Teardrops form a river, wash and take me away.
Now I'm 10 years old and I can see,
the impact your behaviours had on me.
Like all the times you'd strike us, Mum would fall to the floor.
Every moment was lost, you had a heart it was crushed.
But today you, seem at peace so you hold me.
Today, I can put all of that aside,
The real you has left now in my mind.
Scars are on my shoulders, no more tears left to cry.
As they lower you down, to your place in the ground.
I wish you'd hold me, just one more time.
For me the heartbreak and pain, has left me feeling this way.
I can't forgive you, but I love you so...

Dancing Through The Pain
04:08

How could she make it through the day?
At night, she lays awake
Facing up to reality
Her heart, broken forever
When she see's her face
She starts to move and sway
Light fills the room
Now she's dancing through the pain
Relentless strength, in the face of adversity
As she stands, to tell us all
The room in floods of tears
Composed, she begins to recall
How she made her smile
How she made her proud
Her light, fills her heart
Now she's dancing through the pain.
Most other people would just fall apart
How life can be so fucking hard
You've shown your strength, held your head up high
You are remarkable to me.

The Light On The Train
02:47
|
|||
|
Somewhere down the line
like the size of a train
speeding towards me with so much force
will it hit me again?
I'm feeling it tonight
straight up ahead
can anyone help me
I know it's going to tear us apart
Trust in you
secrets and lies
two lost souls working it through
like we're old friends
'Cause there's a distant light
on the horizon
drawing me closer
I don't want to lose her again

Taking the footsteps through the door
Nobody's ever, really been here before
Picking the lies out of your heart
Stopping the circle, on a journey where to start?
Look to the stars and start running
Never to return to nothing
See the hope in your eyes
This has been a long time coming
Tears come, heart is thumping oh
You had to run, from here
When the lies kept on coming
You had to go, from here
When the white lies became your biggest fear.
The feeling of something close behind
Turning to see, just a frail state of mind
Thinking of places where to go
What's the answer to the fire in your soul?
Dreaming of a long lost lover
To come and help you colour
The next page of your love
Will they make your dreams all come true
You couldn't stay friends 'cause they knew, oh
You had to run, from here
When the lies kept on coming
You had to go, from here
When the white lies became your biggest fear.
You had to run, you had to run, you had to run
You had to run, from here
When the lies kept on coming
You had to go, from here
When the white lies became your biggest fear.

You're always hiding, your darkest side.
We all have troubles, some are easy to find.
Seems like you're falling from a window.
Feels like you're heading towards the ground.
Overwhelming feelings inside,
Suppress it with drink, now out of your mind.
Over and over and over, you try.
It's good to stand tall, when feeling so low.
A will to believe, there's more to this world.
The fear that you hold inside of your soul.
Removing your skin, and blood will flow.
Overwhelming feelings inside,
Suppress it with drink, get out of your mind.
Over and over and over, you try.
When the morning comes around.
There's a light, but there's no sound.
Overwhelming feelings inside,
Suppress it with drink, get out of your mind.
Overwhelming feelings inside,
Suppress it with drink, get out of your mind.
Over and over and over, you try.

Death Is At My Door
05:01
|
|||
|
I wake up, alone and scared
I long to feel the touch of your hair
I am lost in a blackhole
nowhere to run and nowhere left to go
I can feel you banging at my door
I'm locked inside I wanna live some more
I knew this day would come for me
and I hope you're thinking fondly of me
Even now, I don't believe it
There's nothing left when I close my eyes
Now I'm gone, oh how I've faded
I regret I leave the world and never made it.
I can feel you banging at my door
I'm locked inside I wanna live some more
I knew this day would come to be
well I hope you're thinking fondly of me
Now the time has passed, oh
Things left unsaid, they will
remain that way, forever more
I can feel you banging at my door
I'm locked inside I wanna live some more
I knew this day would come to be
I hope you're thinking fondly of me
and I hope you're thinking fondly of me
and I hope that you'll remember me

I Have Grown
02:58
|
|||
|
Tear down all you know
deep breath stay in control
I have grown this way
the scars on my face, they tell a story
I have grown to love
and all my worries, they fade away.
Finally, I feel warm
Sunlight, flowers start to bloom
I have grown this way
the scars on my face, they tell a story
I have grown to love
and all my worries, they fade away.

Smile
02:30
|
|||
|
Well somedays I don't feel right
the burden on my shoulders,
too tired to fight
All I want is to hold you
to hold you tight
and see you smile, see you smile
A gentle word of kindness
can cleanse my soul
silly conversations
they ease the toll
Every time I see you
with that smile on your face
I come alive, smile
Someday I hope to be free
from this world and all its misery
I'm so glad I've found you
so we can hide away
You make me smile, smile.

Magic Of Medication
03:46
|
|||
|
Early in the morning
pours himself a glass
the pains got hold
it's too much for him to take
Makes his way down the hallway
with the glass in his hand
a stick to keep himself from falling
How has he lived so long?
what gives him strength, to carry on?
He spent his life researching
trying to find a cure
the magic of medication was his lure
When he found the breakthrough
he was so very young
he felt that he had more to give the world
Why has he lived so long?
Life gave him strength, to carry on.
Sunday he wakes up
pressed shirt and bow-tie
his daughter comes to take him for a ride
He sits and looks out the window
at the blue in the sky
it makes him feel like the luckiest man alive
Why did he lived so long?
Life gave him strength, to carry on.

You're Free (Movie Song)
05:42
|
|||
|
Don't leave me
All your pain, it can be told
Please come home
It's always worse left unresolved
Light you're free
now for eternity
Now you say
Not a word, just silence
for the fight has died
All that's left is broken inside
