I felt the sun rays down on me
They pierce my eyes and
slowly leave me into this
This trance of unintentional
feeling on my own
(on my own)
These words will guide you
through this mess, they will
comfort you, protect you
From what is left of this world
They'll lead you to a better world tonight
These words will guide you
through this mess, they will
comfort you, protect you
From what is left of this world
They'll lead you to a better world tonight
I've sailed the seven seas
And all I've found is solitude
Beyond your wildest
Beyond your wildest imagination
I can't seem to
Find the words to
Explain to you that
This ain't a test
This is your fault
This is reality
These words will guide you
through this mess, they will
comfort you, protect you from
what is left of this world
They'll lead you to a better world tonight
These words will guide you
through this mess, they will
comfort you, protect you
From what is left of this world
They'll lead you to a better world tonight
All I had
I left by the ocean bed
All I had
I left by the ocean bed
All I had
I left by the ocean bed
All I had
I left by the ocean bed

Surviving The Flood
03:24
|

The waves are rising
They are sweeping the shore
And there's no solution
We won't make it out in time
A flood is coming and we
Cower in fear
As the sea builds
It's come to take all that's mine
This town is sinking
The flood is rising
(UP!)
(We all know it's too late)
We're trapped and alone
Shut off from the world by this flood
(Our chances are slim to none)
So we'll stand together
We'll pick up the pieces and
Show the world
Nothing will bring us down
We're fighting to keep this town
And through it all
We'll never fall, we'll stand up tall
We're fighting to keep this town
I see the pain in the eyes of the
Ones that I love
Leaving behind all the memories
They've had
But we wont back down, no we'll
Face this flood
We wont back down, no,
We're fighting to keep this town
All these waves are crashing
And taking what is mine
My world is quickly falling
But I know it's not my time
I wont let this ruin me
I wont let this ruin... (let this ruin...)
I wont let this ruin me
I wont let this ruin... (let this ruin me)

So, I'm left here again
My thoughts eat away
At the memories, they
Slowly drain me down 'til
There's nothing left
For me to use
I'm so god damn lost in my
Fake reality
(there's no more turning back now)
I can't sleep, can't eat
There's something chewing
At me underneath my skin
(with all these vacant stares surrounding me)
This distance brings me down
But all this time, I find that
Distance only brings me back to you
All my life my
Heart has yearned for a
Thing I cannot name
All my life I've been
Waiting for someone to
Make me feel the same as the ones I
Envy so bad
The ones who claim that
Love is just for them
Well, I'll make them see
You gotta trust me, baby
Absence isn't for the faint at heart
But I promise you, we'll make it out alive
And all I know, is
We will make the best of this
Although I fall
I get back up because
In my mind
I know it's gonna be okay
Don't look past the
Future we are holding
In our hands
I'd give my life for this
As long as you would too
I'd sell my soul for this
As long as I'm with you
We won't let this conquer us
(We won't let this conquer us
We are not the faint at heart)
We are not the faint at heart
(we won't let this conquer us
We are not the weak
We are not the faint at heart
We won't let this conquer us now)
You gotta trust me, baby
Absence isn't for the faint at heart
So I promise you, we'll make it out alive
And all I know, is
We will make the best of this
Although I fall (although I fall)
I get back up (I get back up)
Because In my mind (In my mind)
I know it's gonna be okay

Consonants & Vowels
05:26

Pace yourself now
Take a deep, deep breath and
Let the words flow out
Let your mind wander
Through the streets of
Imagination
Cos with paper and ink
You will get those
Voices from deep
Within your head tonight
From in your head
But I stop
I can't
Describe the feeling I have
Its gone
And my thoughts have wandered
off too far
It's all a blur to me
The voices are taking over
and it brings me
Down to my knees
There's a mental blank
And it's blocking all these
Heartfelt words
From reaching this page
Down to my knees
I fight and fall
The emptiness
Inside my head
It's killing me
I won't rest till this page is done
I won't sleep till my words are in ink
I won't stop till I've reached the end
I won't rest till this page is covered in
Words
My words
I need them to burst right out
My mind
And onto this page
I won't be taken on this
Ride again
These voices are taking over
And it brings me...
It brings me down
And it's there and then
That I realise that I've done it again
I've spoken from my mind, and not my heart
All these consonants and vowels are forever just lies to cover up the truth
But it hurts to admit
That in the end
I'll probably just fall
And end up going against
What my heart believes
I can't stop leading myself down this road forever
And how I've made it on my own 'cos i won't give up
'Cos we've been walking for far too long x2
(Pace yourself now
Take a deep, deep breath and
Let the words flow out
Let your mind wander
Through the streets of
Imagination
'Cos with paper and ink
You will get those
Voices from deep
Within your head tonight)
From deep
Within
Your
Head
I will not
Get this right
Not until
The day I die
I will not
Get this right
Not until
The day I die
