Breaking Me Down
03:46

I can't sleep at night
I can't sleep at night (2xs)
(VERSE)
There's a hole in your heart - that I speak to
Feel it echo inside - as I slip through
with every breath that you breathe
leaving less there of me
than before
There's your skin against mine - In the silence
Feel you looking at me -You don't notice
As these seconds slip by - I'm this ghost by your side
Fading from you
(CHORUS)
Don't you know that you're breaking me down
Don't you know that you're breaking me down
Don't just lay there - say nothing at all
I need to hear more
Don't you know that you're breaking me down
(VERSE 2)
I can't sleep at night
I can't sleep at night (2x)
If I sit up in bed will you see me
place my feet on the floor - would you stop me
or with glazed over eyes - and diminished surprise
think you're only dreaming
A bittersweet gesture to hold you
met with little reponse - I can't breakthrough
this space taking hold - doesn't linger - it grows
can't fight it alone
(TO CHORUS) (2xs)
(BRIDGE)
Watch it now - fade away
curtain falls - empty stage
nothing but -this bed we made
no -
desperate call - in the dark
waking us - from where we are
just me holding on
to you

Glitters Like Gold
03:32
|
|||
(VERSE 1)
Hello operator, wait- I've been searching for this place
I've been, looking for you - stop
Is there somethin' I can hold onto - Shiny, bright and all brand new
(Say,) I've got something for you
(CHORUS)
And it glitters like gold - the things that you wanted
Did it lead you astray more than you know
It glitters like gold - Is all that you wanted
Something beyond what you could hold
Does it glitter like gold?
(VERSE 2)
You ask me can we start again - A broken fence, that's on the mend
Will I'll be, waitin' for you - stop
Dreaming of the day we met - A reverie before regret
so far, from where we are
(CHORUS)
That it glitters like gold - the love that we wanted
Can't light up your heart if you don't know - It glitters like gold
All the things that we wanted - Always outside what we could hold
yeah, it glitters like gold -Yeah, it glitters like gold
(BRIDGE)
No -- I'm out
No -- I'm out, of reach
(VERSE 3)
Hello operator, wait - All I need is just someplace
I've been searching for you, stop
All the world from spinning round - It lifts me up, I can't get down
Blinding glow, unending
(CHORUS)
And it glitters like gold - the life you thought that you wanted
Did it lead you astray more than you know - It glitters like gold
Is all that you wanted - Something beyond what you could hold
Does it glitters like gold?

Take Back Your Heart
03:23
|
|||
(VERSE1)
We didn't think about, this life, back then
no no
We didn't think about, the last page
the start, this end
Make me a little bit a little bit wiser
Lift us a little bit a little bit higher
Make me a little bit a little bit wiser
And let us be still
(CHORUS)
Little did we know - No roots were taking hold
Ice water fills our souls - Watch us grow apart
take back your heart
take back your heart
How could we have known - reaching for alone
searching through the dark - of all those missing parts
take back your heart
take back your heart
take back your heart
(VERSE2)
You ask me if I dream, at night
I'm dreaming all the time
You ask me if I think of us,
truth is, all the time
(CHORUS)
Little did we know - trail was growing cold
nothing left to show - before you go
take back your heart
How could we have known - feeling so alone
reaching through the dark - of all those missing parts
take back your heart
take back your heart

Voyeur and Starlet
04:01
|
|||
(VERSE 1)
I know what you're thinkin
I'm inside your head
voice is like an angel
devil in your bed
We don't have to be sorry
throw the white flag down
kiss away your worries
No ones around
Think nothing of the world outside
There's nothing but this place
Everything outside this room - is gone
There's nothing but the way you feel
There's nothing to escape
There's nothing of the things we've done
no wrong, come on...
(1/2 CHORUS)
Roll your camera, at every angle - burn this innocence
Film your old age silent movie - Oh Voyeur and starlette
(VERSE 2)
Do you spend each the hour
breathless for my touch
every waking moment
dizzied by the rush
You don't have to be sorry
and no one has to know
the depth of this obsession
(CHORUS)
Roll your camera, at every angle - burn this innocence
Film your old age silent movie - blur our sillouettes
Take your lens and look right through me, take all I have left
Dim the lights from white to black
Oh Voyeur and starlette
(Bridge)
Silence - Silence
Roll your Camera (Burn this Innocence)
Film your old age silent movie
(Dim the lights on Down)
(END CHORUS)

Hope
03:57
|

(VERSE1)
Sleep-walk
from the boulvevard
A dirt path
into the dark
No light - just stars
No peace from where we are
As if you're even there at all
As if you're even there at all
(CHORUS)
Hope, come for me
Hope, we are on our knees
Don't you leave me
lost, out here alone
Hope, come for me
(VERSE2)
The city sleeps
but it never stops
feel it pulling us - along
faith calls -- it slows us down
To stop and stare
until it's found
As if you're even there at all
As if you're even there at all
(CHORUS)
