Don’t leave a light on for me I’ll find my way in I’ve been here many times before The moonlight makes you look pale Makes me look thin Every day that I’ve had I’ve had it for you Every moment I’ve bled I’ve bled it for you Come to me When you’ve lost what you’re looking for In the games within Come on in I’ll fill in the score Every day that I’ve had I’ve had it for you Every moment I’ve bled I’ve bled it for you

Greedy 04:26
Take me down There is nothing you can do to make me love you now Look around All the voices of my dying dreams are silent now I gave you all I ever had But there was nothing left for me so I am empty now And all the things you took from me Were the things that made me happy Are you happy now? Now you’ve taken it all away You’re so greedy Look what you’ve done to me Can’t you see That it hurts me But I know you don’t really care So I hope one day what you’ve done to me Will come back to you And then you’ll be sorry That you were so greedy Here I stand I know the future’s in my hands but you have tied them down And you’re afraid That I am stronger than the bonds you’ve made And I will break them now I will take it back from you You’re so greedy Look what you’ve done to me Can’t you see That it hurts me But I know you don’t really care So I hope one day what you’ve done to me Will come back to you Oh I know one day what you’ve done to me Will come back to you And then you’ll be sorry That you were so greedy

This War 03:18
When the leaders of nations are stabbing the dark With a knife grown blunt as they tear it apart I’m ashamed To pick up the pieces When the cries of starvation are echoing Through the guts of a nation that’s bloated with spoils of war Was it worth fighting for? Is this war worth fighting? Is this war worth fighting? Is it all worth fighting for? When she picked up the gun she was shocked by the weight She caressed the cold barrel, felt the stirrings of hate in her heart Could she blow this apart? When she looked at the river of blood in the sink She saw colours and shapes and she started to think it’s a shame But aren’t we all the same? Is this war worth fighting? Is this war worth fighting? Is it all worth fighting If evil prevails while we turn a blind eye While we’re washing our hands of the moment to try to speak out To stand up and shout I am not afraid I am not forgotten I will not be silenced That’s a war worth fighting

There’s a gate At the back of a garden There’s a gate I can’t find the key There’s a man And he’s holding the roses But the thorns Are making me bleed And I am afraid to love And he is afraid to love We are afraid There’s a wake For the death of a lady And we all Throw a rose on the grave And I am afraid to love And she was afraid to love We’re all so afraid Let me out Let me out I can’t breathe when you’re holding me Let me out

Like Rain 04:27
Reaching out I’m like a child with open arms I want to shout I’m standing on the edge of something Looking down And I’ve seen this precipice before Goodbye fear You’ve held my hand for many years But it’s time to let go Now it’s time to watch you float away From here Away from here And I see her face And I see the place And it is beautiful Like rain Reaching out I’ll light my candle in the sky I want to shout The power’s gone from you to burn this fire dry And you will never burn it out You’ll never burn it out And I see her face And I see the place And it is beautiful Like rain Oh mother Oh mother I’m coming home I’m coming home Oh mother Oh mother I’m coming home I’m coming home

I’ve been scared To show too much of myself to you I’ve been scared you won’t like what you see I’m prepared To give this some time These are trying times, trying times indeed You’re not sure That’s ok cause I’m so unsure too But I’m here for you Be my friend Ask what you want of my soul I hope that it helps you to breathe And maybe you’ll see The goodness inside you Reflected in someone like me Someone like me This feels hard And confusion is hanging in the air This sadness seems too much to bear Don’t give in There is courage inside you to strengthen you From within The damage is done But it’s all up to you from here on Leave the past in the past And be my friend Ask what you want of my soul I hope that it helps you to breathe And maybe you’ll see The goodness inside you Reflected in someone like me Someone like me Oh be my friend Ask what you want of my soul I hope that it helps you to breathe And maybe you’ll see The goodness inside you Reflected in someone like me Someone like me

Fireflies 03:27
I don't know what I can say to make this better All I can do is be here with you, here together I know it's hard to believe there is beauty in this world But someday you will see That you and those around are like fireflies A little light in the darkness burning bright And I will never be afraid with you to guide my way The world has brought you to your knees But please understand That all you ever need is a faithful friend to help you stand To tell you - I know it's hard to believe that there is beauty in this pain That you will live and love again Because you and those around you are like fireflies A little light in the darkness burning bright And I will never be alone with you to guide me home
