something fearless in your eyes 
something careless about your smile 
shed your armour 
spin your web 
hypnotise me with the longest stare 

fingertips so gently on my skin 
i'm underwater 
i feel the flood begin 
fingertips so gently on my skin 
you're taking over and over again 

fingertips so gently on my skin 
i'm underwater 
i feel the flood begin 
fingertips so gently on my skin 
you're taking over and over again 

something fearless in your eyes 
something careless about your smile 
shed your armour 
spin your web 
hypnotise me with the longest stare 

we're flesh and bone 
together and alone 
and we're looking for a home 

fingertips so gently on my skin 
i'm underwater 
i feel the flood begin 
i'm underwater 
i'm underwater 

i'm underwater 
underwater 
i'm underwater 
underwater 

fingertips so gently on my skin 
i'm underwater 
i feel the flood begin 
fingertips so gently on my skin 
you're taking over and over again 

You can't see my eyes
You can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
Hear me when I say
I don't mind at all

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear, drops to the ground
In silence, when my love is near.
Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did you fall? When was it over?

It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and then my lonesome song begins
It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song begins

Darling, when did you cry? I couldn't hear you
Darling when? When did you cry? I couldn't hear you

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I suppose it is the price of falling in love

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger, not a ghost
Of the quiet of a storm approaching
That i fear the most
It's the pain that i hear coming

The slightest crystal tear drops to the ground
In silence when my love is near
It's marching through my door now the stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song will end

Darling when did we fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did we fall? When was it over?

I suppose it is the price of falling in love.
I fear that it's the price of falling in love

And how I've loved
And I have served
And I have sinned
But I have learned
As long as you are true to the life that you live
This is the time to feel love

I feel a stirring deep within
Slowly picking up momentum
Like the tide coming into shore
Over and under in it's course

This feeling emblazed inside
Every nerve like a firefly
Hovering above me
glow glow glowing divine

every nerve like a firefly
every nerve like firefly
this feeling emblazed inside
every nerve like a firefly

I never want to loose
what I have finally found
There's a requiem
A new congregation
And it's telling me go forward
and walk under a brighter sky
every nerve glowing like a firefly

Give me release
Witness me, I am outside

Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

Passion chokes the flower until she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up

When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence

In this white wave ... in this silence ...
I believe I can't help this longing ...
comfort me I can't hold it all in ...
if you won't let me ...

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up

When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence

In this white wave ...
in this silence I believe I have seen you ...
in this white wave you are silent
You are breathing in this white wave ...
I am free

I know you want me
But caution inspires
Your tamed indifference
Won't challenge me
Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me?
This spoiled seduction
Intoxicates thee,
So balanced on my halo
You long secretly
Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me?
Don't deny yourself
'Cause I know what you want
You can't deny me
We'll be together
So try to run, love
But you won't get away
Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me?

Prowling in the night
Hiding 'neath my fright
Manipulate my sight - thief
Whenever you steal
My punishment's real
You gave me sorrow
Invading my own value
Parading my shy security
While gripping my innocence - thief
Whenever you steal
My punishment's real
You gave me sorrow

Bleak desolation
In a beam of sun
Scraping as I crawl
Your heart can’t hear me
Tearing bruising fall
Your hands can’t hear me
Thirsting raging blind
Your eyes can’t hear me
Racing against time
Your arms can’t hear me
Like and angel you’ll come
In a dream, precious one
And, make me beautifully numb
Desperate panicked calls
The wind can’t hear me
Muffled weak and small
The sand can’t hear me
Pleading groping hands
The truth can’t hear me
Bleeding in the sand
Your heart can’t hear me
Bleak desolation
In a beam of sun
Like an angel you’ll come
In a dream, blessed one
And, make me joyfully numb
Razor fingers cling
The wind can’t hear me
Piercing demons sing
The sand can’t hear me
Twisting hollow Hell
The truth can’t hear me
Burning blisters swell
Your heart can’t hear me
Sharp cut aching breath
Your arms can’t hear me
Choking scent of death
You hands can’t hear me
Grueling jaw bone grind
Your eyes can’t hear me
Cursed by my own mind
Your heart can’t hear me

To others the pain was obvious
The colours of shame a bruise
Unjust
Abuse of trust can’t be wiped
I can’t remember why I chose to say goodbye
I’m terrified of what I might have served
I tried to forget the drowning truth
Lashing inside my sea of youth
Life seemed a fair sacrifice for peace
I can’t remember why I chose to say goodbye
I’m terrified of what I might have served
I ended up too high
But never learned to fly
So coming down I’m very thankful
You were there

The lessons were all learned
My soul has charred
What they burned
Till the end of time
So silence shamed me
Shame
She brought with her doubt and blame
Till the end of time
Now it’s your turn to cry
Spend your life wondering why
You knew
You knew

Soaks my skin - through to the bone
Pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase
Rain - you can't hold on to it
A treasure you cannot frame
Rain - somehow I'm drawn to it
I feel engaged, one and the same
When heavens dressing beads off my face
The pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase

Lyrics Don't get too close - this shore is cavernous and cold
Too close is cavernous and cold
Cavernous and cold
You're collecting empty shells
Too late to scribe
Alive - in my soul
I'd rather hide - than fight you stealing my soul
A marbled ocean of steaming ghosts
They bare what's tavernous and told
A haunted ocean is cavernous and cold
I am where the fearing dwells
Cavernous cold
Cavernous cold
Cold cold

I have wist, sin i couthe meen,
That children hath by candle light
Her shadewe on the wal iseen,
And ronne therafter all the night.
Bisy aboute they han ben
To catchen it with all here might.

And whom they catchen it best wolde wene,
Sannest it shet out of her sight,
The shadewe catchen they ne might,
For no lines that they couthe lay.
This shadewe i may likne aright
To this world and yesterday.

Unforbidden shadows of you formed yesterday
I ran away to a room here on the bay
Interrupted life again, another new beginning
Where the silence echoes you're no longer with me

Here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom
Even though i may be alone, but that's ok

Through the darkness i would walk in the streets
Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release
Held me down and tried to cure me tried to give me reason
But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me

Here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom
Even though i may be alone, but that's ok
And looking out to a different sky will disengage me
Absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade

I do not seek and do not intend to find
A calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise
My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts
And i'll move on and then forget you all over again
Moving on, i can forgive you all over again

Here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom
Even though i may be alone, but that's ok
And looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy
Absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade

In the dark ruins paved with snow
living all alone
of the gods, long ago, is what I'm looking for
firecracker, lightning seed is pulling back through me

This is I, this is I
you make my heart a hunter
This is I, this is I
you make my heart, make my  heart a hunter

I remember my little seed
louder than a dream
I let my coin into an air of light
to the bottom of your night
no hounds to guide me, no army at my back
I'm gonna stand out
firecracker, lightning seed
closer to me

This is I, this is I
you make my heart a hunter
This is I, this is I
you make my heart, make my heart a hunter
you make my heart, make my heart a hunter

Sunrise burns my fortress down
crumbling to the ground
I found my air and my life make a star
buried in my heart
no hounds to guide me, no army at my back
I'm gonna stand out
firecracker, lightning seed
it was always with me

This is I, this is I
you make my heart a hunter
This is I, this is I
you make my heart, make my heart a hunter
This is I, this is I
you make my heart a hunter
This is I, this is I
you make my heart, make my heart a hunter
