Aeroplanes
Come out of your hiding place
Still floating around your head
Is the child, that turned and said
Leave your window open at night
Let the monsters come in and fight
Why did you run
When your picture was restored
Why did you give up
Was your innocence so flawed
Why did you sleep
You could wash away those stains
I've seen you take
I've seen you break
I've watched you make aeroplanes
The world is a frightening space
Claim your moon
State your case
The stranger in cold refrain
Used to make aeroplanes
You were dancing and then you fell
Is it safe there inside your shell

Demons
Don't be afraid of your demons
When they come knock on your door
You've been described as fantastic
Don't hide in the basement
Not anymore
Don't be a slave to your demons
Try not to hear what was said
Don't ever budge from your vision
A head on collision
Is all that is left
Created
Elated
You made it
This is your homecoming
You steal it
You feel it
You've seen it
This is your home coming
I've seen you drown in your nightmares
I know you know who I am
It's time to bring down defences
And that's where your strength is
Breaking the dam
There's something I want to say to you
Something I've always wanted to say to you
There's something I wanna do with you
Something I've always, wanted to do with you
There's something I wanna share with you
Something I've always
Wanted to share with you
There's something I wanna give to you
Something I've always wanted to give you
There's something I wanna say to you
Something I've always wanted to say.

Raindrops
I saw a dark cloud
Of stories never been told
I made them come out
Like raindrops
You heard my secrets
You told me let them unfold
They fell on your ground
Like raindrops
And it feels like home
Live we've never been away
And a light goes on
And it all begins to fade
And we look towards the dawn
Like raindrops from a storm
And we look towards the dawn
Like raindrops
Nobody's perfect
But we are never alone
If we're together, like raindrops.

Shadows
I see you there in silhouette
Shadows are made with no regret
Only you know what it represents:
The truth of it
Still up above in skies of black
There will be light coming through the crack
Just look ahead and don't turn back
The ice is thin
Count from ten now slowly backwards drifting
You can fly now there's nothing left for you here
You feel high as you drown out all you fear
When you try but the life you had disappears
You can dance with shadows
Your faith is weaving through the mire
One thread of hope close to the wire
Throw all the waste into the fire: the lies of it
Untie your snare till it comes undone
Dust off your cloud and begin to run
Walls of ice and walls of stone will melt away
Count from ten now slowly backwards dreaming
I never once pretended I could see you
I never once pretended I could find what I lost
I only wanna know your deepest secret
Do you keep it in a box?
I never once pretended I could see you
I never once pretended I could find what I lost
I only wanna know you deepest secret
Do you keep it in a box?

Stolen
She won't take ice in her drinks in the summer
Nothing unusual for that kind of girl
She's had a life from which she won't recover
Something quite sinister
Out of this world
Don't look for the child in her eyes
The mountain of innocent lies
Somehow, somewhere along the way
They were stolen
He doesn't look quite the same in his pictures
As he did before Reverend John was his friend
All of his claims were ignored as fictitious
Learning the scriptures
Taught him to pretend
Don't look for the hope in his heart
The faith that would set them apart
Sometimes, some things you never get back
When they're stolen
You want your stories of her fucked up childhood
You play with fire
You're gonna get burned
She has no interest in sharing her secrets
Memories are tragedies
Where she's concerned
Don't look for the light in her face
The passion in her empty space
Somehow, somewhere along the way
They were stolen
Don't wake him up when he finds himself talking
About what he sees when he closes his eyes
People that know him say he's just troubled
Try not to stare as he passes you by
Don't look for the peace in his life
Forgiveness is not on his mind
Sometimes, some things you never get back.

Silent Dreams
Welcome to my world I'm under water
Drowning in my thoughts
Your lips they move but I can't hear
Floating in my silent dreams
Wish you were
Here in my silent dreams
When all that you know is out of focus
Let me draw you near
I'll make your demons disappear
Times like these I contemplate my conscience
Imaging its clear
But then I'd have nowhere to go...

Cynical
Nothing ever seems to work out
I don't know what this is all about
But I know I don't belong here
I watch you breaking everything in sight
I can't seem to stop this fight
But it's not for lack of trying
I've been holding on
Soon I will be gone
I won't say goodbye
Call me cynical
Cause that I understand
I'm illogical
I never have a plan
And I'm radical
But I don't give a damn
If that's cynical
Then I'm cynical
No more talk
I've had enough
Your words like water
Run right off my back
If you cared you would be listening
Cause all that will be left behind
Are shattered hearts
And battered minds
I’ve tried
Turn around and keep on walking
Time to disappear
I am out of here
I won't say goodbye
I wanna walk I wanna run
Wanna turn myself around
There's no point in holding on anymore
You better leave this web you've spun
Better find yourself new ground
Cause I won't be broken.

Emily Valentine
You had to break your chains
No one knew when or if you'd surface
Beautiful creature
You were hiding far away
The cloth was drawn
Upon your cage
Too young to understand
They saw you coming from a distance
Looking for answers
Down some dirty avenue
They set the stage
And blocked your view
Emily Valentine
Held her breath again
No one could stop her this time
Till the very end
She was determined to fly far away
To a place where she's finally happy
Your screams were never heard
Your life was drowned in expectation
You never set out
To destroy their hopes and dreams
You just got parted at the seams.......

No Apologies
No apologies
No time for anger or remorse
I'll still be saying goodbye
When every ship has left the harbour
And every choice has changed my course
I thought that thinking would destroy me
I've heard that's how it is for some
Instead it's peaceful as I leave you
I thought this day would never come
I thought this day would never come
I thought this day........

Friday Street
Looking through your window
No one ever shows up
Trying not to close up
But it's too late
Now you're at a dead end
Feel as if you're frozen
Look at what you've chosen
Seal your fate
Now you're never going back
Never going back
But you know you had a lot to learn
And time won't wait now
Gotta make your choice
Now you're on Friday Street
Standing in your doorway
See the picture changing
All the rearranging
As lights go out
Friday Street is empty
Only going one way
Running from the rat race
That got you down
And you're never going back
Never going back
Now you're at the point of no return
Now you're never going back
Never going back
But you know you had a lot to learn.

Open Door
If you really wanna know the day
It's Monday
Going back a thousand years
It seems
Makin' paper aeroplanes to fly
Someday
Not knowing what the future holds
A child
Still dreams
The tale
Has been told through your silence
The truth will unfold
If your mind is an open door..... The End
