The Heart Of Emptiness

Tick tock, overclocked, my inner thoughts have moved,
Just as all we see, our mind’s a cloud that’s bruised,
And whoever believes in our thieves,
For what they take will not be recieved,
Yeahhhhh!
Waiting for no one,
Containing the feeling’s numb,
Showing no weakness while I
Break apart the heart of emptiness
Your love’s a holy ghost, in this eternal spring,
Fighting a war that’s won, my soul begins to sing.
And whoever believes in our thieves,
For what they take will not be recieved,
Yeahhhhh!
Waiting for no one,
Containing the feeling’s numb,
Showing no weakness while I
Break apart the heart of emptiness
Waiting for no one,
Containing the feeling’s numb,
Showing no weakness while I
Break apart the heart of emptiness
Waiting for no one,
Containing the feeling’s numb,
Showing no weakness while I
Break apart the heart of emptiness
Waiting for no one,
Containing the feeling’s numb,
Showing no weakness while I
Break apart the heart of emptiness

Going, flowing
The days draw into me
Holding, loathing
My leaves shed from your tree
Inciting, the words you’re hiding,
Pages torn from me,
The wind is blowing, where I’m going,
Just don’t follow me
We’re hurtling down…
and down and down and down,
Into the dark we run.
I close my eyes, and remember why,
(And you’re lying next to me),
Over time I sometimes cry,
(Thinking of what was meant to be),
But here is where I like to stay
(As our memories will decay…)
Thoughts haunt, they fade away…
Reviving what I confide in,
Your shadows touching me,
Waiting, and fading,
Time waves its own marquee
Love’s warning, is haunting,
Heed it before me,
Take flight, tonight,
Cross the deep blue sea
We’re hurtling down…
and down and down and down,
Into the dark we run.
The conjuring is a romance,
The way that we observe,
It hits you hard without a chance,
You get what you deserve
The conjuring is a romance,
The way that we observe,
It hits you hard without a chance,
You get what you deserve
The conjuring is a romance,
The way that we observe,
It hits you hard without a chance,
You get what you deserve

Forever Yours

Too high strung,
Well I don’t even know where we’re going,
We lie in toungs,
It is where my love is slowing
And I become,
Nothing seems right but I am holding,
Onto you
Nearby me
The time has come for my so-ul to flee
Quietly,
I find a way to treat my piety,
Now I see
I’m wounded but able to walk free
Away from you
Into you,
and onto me,
Caught in between,
In this made-up dream,
And I don’t know what we ought to be,
But I’m right here waiting, for you right now.
[Verse]
I see.
The haze has lifted ever so gently
So heavy,
hearted I leave this town weary,
But me,
The wind beneath my sails I’m free,
Breathing now.
Was I wrong?
or was I right to deter from your hurt?
I cried from
The bottom of my seething self worth
You belong,
Forever yours and safely secure
Away from me
Into you,
and onto me,
Caught in between,
This made-up dream,
And I don’t know what we ought to be,
But I’m right here waiting for you, right now.
As time comes home,
The hours march on by a thread,.
As we reside under the sky I'm forever yours…
I'm falling, yeah yeah
I'm falling, yeah yeah

Beautifully Wasted

Turn away from each other,
Don't want to get closer,
Does your heart still remember?
Memories blown by a zephyr.
Sail away into me, while I colour you the sea,
Beautiful yet wasted
What else is there left to be?
Turn away from each other,
Don't want to get closer,
Does your heart still remember?
Memories blown by a zephyr.
Sail away into me, while I colour you the sea,
Beautiful yet wasted
What else is there left to be?
Waiting undercover between lovers who understand
That there’s nowhere to run, there’s nowhere to hide,
Inside the soul, darkness resides.
Slowly to fade, what’s left up inside.
Yeah yeah yeah
Turn away from each other,
Don't want to get closer,
Does your heart still remember?
Memories blown by a zephyr.

Cascading Into You

Hold my hand
Step inside
The wind is blowing and
And there’s nowhere to hide
I close my eyes
As time passes by
I hear your voice
I see your smile
From teardrops to morning dew
I’m cascading into-ooh you
The love that I yield
Is hardly concealed
Yet takes form in ways we once knew
Your gentle eyes
And your soothing voice
Calms the storm enough to
Brighten the skies
I close my eyes
As time passes by
I hear your voice
I see your smile
From teardrops to morning dew
I’m cascading into-ooh you
The love that I yield
Is hardly concealed
Yet takes form in ways we once knew
Here I stand
I was waiting for you
To cross my path, my eternal love
And into the next life
We’ll find each other again
Whispy cheeks
Deep brown eyes
I’m forever yours
Always be mine

For Nobody [Bonus Track]

If you see me by the hillside sitting all alone,
Remember to turn off the lights,
All of what’s left is the figure in my mind,
And who I’ll be before I forget.
We’re a shadow of our past, a ghost trapped in time,
Liberated by the ones who love first,
But a love that is lost, is a love that is won,
Until we realise the damage its done,
So if you see me on the hillside yearning for you
Remember to turn off the lights
Gently plucking the chords to a song,
A song for nobody.
