holding a light above my head
it's been years since we've seen the sun
digging out of the spirit bed
changing hues, reflections run
you've got a baneful heart
the lotus leaves its mark
such a baneful heart
the lotus leaves its mark
out from the dark water it comes
crystalline as it marks its way
shimmering towards the sun
careful where your hands are placed
carried from a house of cards
dropped off at the river's edge
can't believe we've come this far
can't believe it isn't dead
you've got a baneful heart
the lotus leaves its mark
such a baneful heart
the lotus leaves its mark
the lotus leaves its mark
the lotus leaves its mark

in the mountains at night
i felt a sense of peace
rising over the backs of the trees
and when the dawn broke
a chill in the air
told me things would be different back down here
i catch a train but it ends in the place
where i recall your face
and it gets to be too much to think of this time
so i do everything to find peace of mind
if you tell me to come, i'd follow you down
i'd follow you to that dark hole in the ground
if you want me to try, i won't ask you why
it's not getting any easier without you here
in the valley by day
i walked a long ways
trying to find memories we left there
and when i came home
it was already gone
couldn't get back to the place it's from
i catch a train but it ends in the place
where i recall your face
and it gets to be too much to think of this time
so i do everything so i find peace of mind
if you tell me to come, i'd follow you down
i'd follow you to that dark hole in the ground
if you want me to try, i won't ask you why
it's not getting any easier without you here
you run through my heart like you're running a race
where every time you try, you can't beat second place
it's the only one wish i have to hold onto
knowing you'll be ok when i finally leave you
if you tell me to come, i'd follow you down
i'd follow you to that dark hole in the ground
if you want me to try, i won't ask you why
it's not getting any easier without you here
if you tell me to come, i'd follow you down
i'd follow you to that dark hole in the ground

after the fall

Every night I walk
Towards the cliff and jump off
Angels carry me up
Angels carry me up
Every day I run
Though the magic’s come undone
I still have to hold on
I still have to hold on
And here is my place
Far away from it all
And here I will stay
You’ll discover in time
After you fall
Every year it comes
Rushing through my blood
Though I’ve survived the flood
I still take the blame
For it all
And here is my place
Far away from it all
And here I will stay
You’ll discover in time
After you fall
Here is my place
Far away from it all
And here I will stay
After the fall
After the fall

only if I walk the line
only if I take my time
only if I catch on fire
while you're sleeping
only if we hit it right
only if we left tonight
only if we drop the wire
when it falls down
if you play your part
if you play your part
if you play your part
it's yours to find
only if I figure out
only if I find out how
only if I don't fall down
will it reveal to me
only if you promise twice
only if you're asking nice
only if you pay the price
for the ransom
if you play your part
if you play your part
if you play your part
it's yours to find
let's run away
I don't have a reason to stay
let's run away from it all
let's run away
if it's only for one day
let's run away from it all
let's run away
I don't have a reason to stay
let's run away from it all

stuck in the middle again
you try hard not to notice
you're cut, bleeding again
all the light cuts into focus
your voice stuck
it's just a knock on the wall
it's your turn
you get ready to fall
pick from the images
then, get ready to push them away before
you can't crawl
you can't crawl on your own
you'll just fall
you'll just fall back alone
don't start
don't let it show
you're just a pawn
get ready to move on from it all
caught in the middle again
you'll fake it so well
they won't notice
cracked glass in your fingers again
slide your hand down your side
just to focus
the pain cuts
the pain cuts too close
it's your turn
it's your chance to show
pick from the line-up and guess
get ready
this is your last chance
you can't crawl
you can't crawl on your own
you'll just fall
you'll just fall back alone
don't start
don't let it show
you're just a pawn
get ready to move on from it all
you can't crawl
you can't crawl on your own
you'll just fall
you'll just fall back alone
don't start
don't let it show
you're just a pawn
get ready to move on from it all
you can't crawl
you can't crawl on your own
you'll just fall
you'll just fall back alone
don't start
don't let it show
you're just a pawn
get ready to move on from it all

don't you cry
while the monsters stay hidden inside
you'll find a whole new world
in your time
a clue's been given to you
all you need is to hold it close to you
they don't have the time like you have
they don't know a thing about you
they won't ask unless you tell them to
they don't know a thing about you
it won't be that way
anymore
like it used to
anymore
feeling torn and frayed
anymore
it won't be like that
anymore
keep inside
it's a real rough zoo of a world out there
you'll find it changed without you
walk the line
keep your feet one step ahead of your mind
and all will be fine
they don't have the time like you have
they don't know a thing about you
they won't ask unless you tell them to
they don't know a thing about you
it won't be that way
anymore
like it used to
anymore
feeling torn and frayed
anymore
it won't be like that
anymore

wait for you
04:11

sitting in the car
looking out far
waiting for days now
stopped at the lights
they keep cycling
I'm just sitting here frozen
if there was a word
would it be spoken
if there was no heart
would it stay unbroken
unmoved?
everything's stopped
everything's cancelled
I'm just wandering
people pass by
birds in the sky
and me on the ground
if there was a thought
would it be thought of
if there was a course
would it still be run
alone?
sitting in the park
sitting in the dark
the gates are closing
time to go home
I've been alone
and I'm just floating
I don't know why
I don't know if I can wait for you
I don't know why
I don't know if I can wait for you
this time
