History

There are emeralds in your eyes
They're reflecting in candlelight
While we’re dreaming side by side
As constellations envy us

Let’s crack the dirt and feel it move
We’ll change the world like a typhoon
This humble home that we outgrew
Will be our history, will be our history soon

Will be our history soon

There are skylines yet to see
London, Paris, NYC
While we're singing side by side
As constellations dream of us

Let’s crack the dirt and feel it move
We’ll change the world like a typhoon
This humble home that we've outgrew
Will be our history, will be our history soon

Taking leaps from shattered cliffs
We’re too young to return our gifts
We’ll take chances and we won’t miss
As constellations sleep

Let’s crack the dirt and feel it move
We’ll change the world like a typhoon
This humble home that we've outgrew
Will be our history, will be our history
Let’s crack the dirt and feel it move
We’ll change the world like a typhoon
This humble home that we've outgrew
Will be our history, will be our history soon

Pieces

She can’t sleep in her own bed
She’s living inside her head
She’s lost hope, tiptoes the line
A line she will not describe

I will not give, I will not lie
You are broken, so am I

Let’s piece ourselves together
Let’s piece ourselves together and maybe we’ll find hope
Let’s piece ourselves together
Let’s piece ourselves together and maybe we’ll find love

She lies lonely on her side
Shedding tears through window eyes
Let me in, I’ll break apart
So we can restart

I will build, I will mend
These foundations that are broken

Let’s piece ourselves together
Let’s piece ourselves together and maybe we’ll find hope
Let’s piece ourselves together
Let’s piece ourselves together and maybe we’ll find love

Let’s piece ourselves together
Let’s piece ourselves together and maybe we’ll find hope
Let’s piece ourselves together
Let’s piece ourselves together and maybe we’ll find love
And that’ll be enough

Your Path 

For 20 years I was faceless
Just an empty shell of dreams
From being told where my place was
What to have inside of me

And even though I knew my name
It was foreign on my tongue
Even though I knew my face
It was a mask I’d overgrown

But I found a voice inside my mind
Singing to me...

“Don't be scared, my friend, there are footsteps to follow
But don't forget, the path is your own”
"Don't be scared, my friend, there are footsteps to follow
But don't forget, the path is your own"
The path is your own

For 20 years, in the backseat
Just a passenger to my life
Being told not to spread my wings
Now soaring up to brighter heights

Cuz I found a voice inside my mind
Singing to me...

“Don't be scared, my friend, there are footsteps to follow
But don't forget, the path is your own”
"Don't be scared, my friend, there are footsteps to follow
But don't forget, the path is your own"
The path is your own
The path is your own

For 20 years I was faceless
Just an empty shell of dreams

“Don't be scared, my friend, there are footsteps to follow
But don't forget, the path is your own”
“Don't be scared, my friend, there are footsteps to follow
But don't forget, the path is your own”
The path is your own

Dream On

I remember the stars that kept us company
As police sirens whispered by
We talked of how far we'd go
While your posters slept in candlelight

So dream on darling, dream on
Maybe in another life we'd be...
So dream on darling , dream on
Just for tonight we'll be alright 

I remember when t-o-p sang us to sleep
And woke us up to dewey light
We talked of how far we'd go
We knew there was an end in sight

So dream on darling, dream on
Maybe in another life we'd be...
So dream on darling , dream on
Just for tonight we'll be alright 

Two hundred miles away
Your cherry scent still on my clothes
A kiss I never gave
Only a question left unknown

So dream on darling, dream on
Maybe in another life we'd be...
So dream on darling , dream on
Just for tonight we'll be alright 
So dream on darling, dream on
Maybe in another life we'd be...
So dream on darling , dream on
Just for tonight we'll be alright 

Paper Plane

At ten years old I built a paper plane
To take me to a better place
I whispered dreams inside with hopeful eyes
To sing them high up in the sky

Oh wind, please, take me away

Higher and higher these fragile wings climb
Slipping and shaking in the stormy light
Once I reach the peak who knows what I'll be
So higher and higher these fragile wings climb 
'til I touch the sky

At twenty-three I’ve packed up all my things
To leave my nest and spread my wings
Make new friends while others say goodbye
While I sing high up in the sky

Higher and higher these fragile wings climb
Slipping and shaking in the stormy light
Once I reach the peak who knows what I'll be
So higher and higher these fragile wings climb 
'til I touch the sky
‘til I touch the sky
‘til I touch the sky

At fifty-five I’ll see what I have made
While flying in a better place
A family of blood and one of belief
All built on paper wings

Oh, wind, please take me away 

Higher and higher these fragile wings climb
Slipping and shaking in the stormy light
Once I reach the peak who knows what I'll be
So higher and higher these fragile wings climb 
'til I touch the sky
Higher and higher these fragile wings climb
Slipping and shaking in the stormy light
Once I reach the peak who knows what I'll be
So higher and higher these fragile wings climb 
'til I touch the sky
‘til I touch the sky 
Higher and higher these fragile wings climb
‘til I touch the sky 

At ten years old I built a paper plane
To take me to a better place

Won’t Be Young

Shake, shake me down
Steal me of my innocence
Strip, strip my sound
And take my voice away from me

What’s left is hollowness

Breathe, breathe it out
My lungs are soaked with disease
There’s something inside 
But it’s not me

Where there is fear there is hope
Burn the candle and let the light grow

Oh, there’s something on the shelf that I can’t reach
These tiny hands are young and green
Oh, these scars on my hands and blisters on my feet
Have yet to form, I’m still naive
But I’m not worried
The path I’m on is the right one
And when I’m done I won’t be young

Stall, stall the stars
They are leaving me behind
Reach, reach your hand out
And pull me from this grime

Where there is fear there is hope
I’ll be your candle just hold me close

Oh, there’s something on the shelf that I can’t reach
These tiny hands are young and green
Oh, these scars on my hands and blisters on my feet
Have yet to form, I’m still naive
But I’m not worried
The path I’m on is the right one
And when I’m done I won’t be young
I won’t be young

Oh, there’s something on the shelf that I can’t reach
These tiny hands are young and green
Oh, these scars on my hands and blisters on my feet
Have yet to form, I’m still naive
But I’m not worried
The path I’m on is the right one
And when I’m done I won’t be young

Oh, there’s something on the shelf that I can’t reach
These tiny hands are young and green
Oh, these scars on my hands and blisters on my feet
Oh, there’s something on the shelf that I can’t reach
These tiny hands are young and green
Oh, these scars on my hands and blisters on my feet
Have yet to form, I’m still naive

Reflections

I’m stepping on the spaces in between the cracks
To avoid any bad luck coming my way
Cuz God knows I’m from hell and back
And I’m still waiting to be saved

I can't look myself in the mirror
'Til I've left my past behind
So I'll draw a smile into my breathe
To remind myself I'm alive

I’m slipping down the spaces in between the cracks
To a world that is unknown where we are free
And life is given a second chance
To let go and breathe

I can't look myself in the mirror
'Til I've left my past behind
So I'll draw a smile into my breathe
To remind myself I'm alive

I can't look myself in the mirror
'Til I've left my past behind
So I'll draw a smile into my breathe
To remind myself I'm alive
I can't look myself in the mirror
'Til I've left my past behind
So I'll draw a smile into my breathe
To remind myself I'm alive

State Of Mind

Happiness is a state of mind
But it's not a state of mine
Felt the spark of it in my life
But it’s not enough to light

Its whispers are beckoning

Will I have another chance
To push the door open
Open to this winding road
Open to my changing soul

I think I've finally found a path
Leading through this dark forest
Even though I’m not with a map
My heart is sure of it

These dense walls are falling down

Will I have another chance
To push the door open
Open to this winding road
Open to my changing soul

Will I have another chance
To push the door open
Open to this winding road
Open to my changing soul
Will I have another chance
To push the door open
Open to this winding road
Open to my changing soul

STRANDED IN THE OCEAN

I was once drifting through the fog
Waterlogged and all alone
Until I heard the sirens song
Calling me to come home

You left me stranded in the ocean
Holding onto hope as currents drag me down
You left me stranded in the ocean
Searching for the coast but nowhere to be found

Your whispers in my ear
Blinded me, only love to see
But stormy skies had different plans
Casting me into the tides

You left me stranded in the ocean 
Holding onto hopes as currents drag me down
You left me stranded in the ocean
Searching for the coast but nowhere to be found

And all you wanted was another heart to hold
And all you needed was the power to control
You cast your net, you claim another soul
And you caught me
(Another heart to hold)

You left me stranded in the ocean 
You left me stranded in the ocean
Searching for the coast but nowhere to be found

You left me stranded in the ocean 
Holding onto hopes as currents drag me down
You left me stranded in the ocean
Searching for the coast but nowhere to be found
You left me stranded in the ocean 
Holding onto hopes as currents drag me down
You left me stranded in the ocean
Searching for the coast but nowhere to be found

HOME

Sometimes you're just left dreaming of
Street lights that flicker and die
Empty roads that lead nowhere and
Covered in cracks and dried leaves
Scenes of an old, weathered oak tree that
Breathes of fond memories
Floats through your mind as you
Search for a new weathered tree

Just hope for a better place
Just hope for a better time

If you're lost and alone
With everywhere to roam
Just follow my voice
And I'll take you home
I'll take you home

Somewhere are birds singing of
Spring air and flowers unbloomed
Warm nights cradle your dreams as you
Shamble down this road to
Truth that will take you somewhere
Close that will make you believe
How restless it can be
To be unseen

Just hope for a better place
And you'll find it soon

If you're lost and alone
With everywhere to roam
Just follow my voice
And I'll take you home
If you're lost and alone
With everywhere to roam
Just follow my voice
And I'll take you home
I'll take you home

If you're lost and alone
With everywhere to roam
Just follow my voice
And I'll take you home
I'll take you home

TIED UP IN THE SHEETS

When sparks are igniting hearts
And hope fuels the fire
When all our passions found
And Spring has made its sound

Is this a connection or is it just me

When we struggle to breathe
We're tied up in these sheets
The closer we get
The more we can see

Is this a connection or is this just me
Can you feel the electricity

Do we wear these masks out of fear or love?
Do we keep our hearts in our palms?
Is it love, is it love?
I hope it is
I hope it is

When life has crossed our paths
And we guess everything we had
When eyes lock and remain
And we both want to stay

Can you feel the electricity

Do we wear these masks out of fear or love?
Do we keep our hearts in our palms?
Is it love, is it love? 
I hope it is

Let's take the leap and go
Down this long and dusty road
And see where we end up
Let's take another guess
At everything we said
And see where we end up

Do we wear these masks out of fear or love?
Do we keep our hearts in our palms?
Is it love, is it love? 
I hope it is
Do we wear these masks out of fear or love?
Do we keep our hearts in our palms?
Is it love, is it love? 
I hope it is
I hope it is
I hope it is, hope it is
Is it love
Yes, it is
