open up your eyes let me surprise you watch me my hands upon your skin I want to pull you in come closer crash into me tempo and the time rhythm of the climb you move me my heart is beating fast I want to make it last I count to myself one two three hearts on fire my heart’s on fire give me a line to walk away I’m burning up burning down burning shadow and the sea take them both from me unbeholden damage and the dark it’s just a little part of me hiding away scars are hidden though they begin to show as you know me - as easy as they come, words become undone do you love me my heart’s on fire give me a line to walk away burning up burning down burning you’ve got a hold on me now that you’ve got me you better not let go of me you gotta hold on me burning up burning down burning burning

Whether 03:50
whether you know it by name whether it’s vague and in vain whether it’s sadly the same come on in whether the tide dragged you in whether you’ve stumbled again whether you fear it’s a dream come on in whether you’re singing whether you’re numb whether you do it for fun come my dear gather around the fire and don’t worry or wonder is it what you deserve raise your cup and sing hey oh hey oh slam it down away oh way oh we will need at least one more round hey oh hey oh slam it down away oh way oh and you’re done whether you wanted your fame whether you shouldered their shame whether you’ve tempered the blame come on in whether you thrilled on a lie whether it was do or die whether you care to know why come on in come my dear gather around the fire and don’t worry or wonder is it what you deserve raise your cup and sing hey oh hey oh slam it down away oh way oh we will need at least one more round hey oh hey oh slam it down away oh way oh and we’re done now that you’ve come through the door and you’ve had the floor do you find you want more since you came in

NEVER TOO FAR “nolite te bastardes carborundorum” why did you have to go bend your knee to gilded thrones obeisance has its toll you are heading nowhere but down do you want to leave your crown do you want to burn your paper town if you’re wanting to turn it around I will catch you cause you’re never too far gone you can’t come home demand and demand and demand burning headlights scare the lamb the hammer’s heavy in your hand don’t let the bastards get you down do you want to feel the ground do you want to let go free fall down if you’re wanting to turn it around I will catch you cause you’re never too far gone that you can’t come home well you’ve been running so hard for so long it’s getting to be like a new normal and the harder you run the more you burn it away you told me nobody’s broken but some lose their way you’re never too far gone that you can’t come home you’re never too far gone now come on home any day any time come on home open doors open arms come on home

she wore a ribbon purple and gray so he would know her as she slipped away I hope you remember If not now, someday I wore my desire purple and gray feeling the echoes fading away shadows whisper sometimes they say can you hear me calling your name like thunder purple and gray purple for the sundown purple for the sea and gray for the others lost between purple for the chaos purple for pain and gray for the coming of the rain heard there’s trouble in the canyon hallowed ground giving way can you hear me purple and gray

Homeward 03:50
I wonder where I’ll be when I’m called to come home will I be with you or will I be alone? in the dead of the night will I slip away when it comes to pass I would say buy me a drink drink up a round don’t be sad we are still around some will say their prayers just sing me a song and I will watch over you and I will see you I will see you before long everyday will come - not a one will last will you let it go or will you hold on fast my heart beats harder as we all draw near raise ‘em up, raise ‘em high my dear homeward it’s time to head on home

I promised I would lie for you just like you wanted me to no one survives all the lies we keep we all hold on to what we want to believe in don’t call the cavalry don’t overcomplicate it now we play the hands that we have tell me who ever says all that they mean just tell me who ever says all that they mean any way I used to cry over you now you know it would be so damn hard to do you pushed away so I wouldn’t know how far beyond you were willing to go don’t call out the cavalry don’t try to justify it now how could you how would it be tell me who ever says all that they mean anyway they say you are a diamond I don’t see you shining any more I’m not holding out for you who ever says all that they mean I don’t see you trying I can’t hear your lying I see through you no matter what they say

as I lay dying what will I see will I see pastures promised to be green will I see blue skies falling into the sea will I see you coming for me as I lay dying what will I hear will I hear voices of those I love and hold dear will I hear echoes of forgotten years will I hear you calling for me as I lay dying what will I feel will I feel the haunting of untended dreams will I feel the burning of a wound unhealed will I feel you coming for me I’m holding sunlight in my hands breathing perfume on the wind is it madness is it fear all these questions of the end heaven is here and now if we make our own eden I’m letting loose the reins come on, hear your angels sing though I know the song will end I will sing on as I lay dying who will I be I will be full of thunder and lightning I will have loved this life as life loved me I will find you coming for me I will feel you coming for me

sharp teeth can hide in the softest mouth I heard what you said I know what you meant but I’m playing the long game you push me down I’m going to push away you got what you need so take it and leave cause I’m not gonna back down now if I kept all of the stones that you’ve thrown I would not know my own I am not willing to be somebody’s shadow oh in my mind I’m awesome I’m frickin’ awesome say I’m proud that I live too loud it isn’t for you that I do what I do and I’m gonna keep dancing I will double down on my daydreams come on now raise high the roof beams no more hiding out and away I am right here right now oh in my mind I’m awesome I’m frickin’ awesome I might go down in flames but I’ll make it burn so they see it for miles I’m tired of fighting tired of trying I’m giving all of me oh in my mind I’m awesome I’m frickin’ awesome
