The Real World 03:55
lyrics

The Real World One day We'll come back To the real world One day We'll find a way to heal The real world Chorus Stand in line If you will Waste your time If you will How much time? Do you have to kill Back in the real world Chorus Spells can be broken Maybe you'll just need some time Spells can be broken Maybe you'll just need some time Back in the real world Sleep now Mirrored eyes fall to the streets Sleep now Will we ever get to meet Back in the real world The very beautiful real world Bridge & Chorus Tell me What you see when you're in there? Tell me Are you even slightly aware? Of the real world The very beautiful real world

At a Time Like This 02:44
lyrics

At a Time Like This Aren't you tired of the fight? Which way is the light? All those friends that we'll miss At a time like this What's wrong, and what's right? Hold on for dear life We're in for a bumpy ride All those friends that we'll miss At a time like this You've taken all those colours from my dreams I was asleep at the wheel No separate teams At a time like this Bridge 1 I'm a space cadet Won't you give me your wings? You've taken all those colours from my dreams I was asleep at the wheel Do you know what I mean? At a time like this Bridge 2 We can't just wash our hands of this Finally the sun again appears Have you been counting out the rivers? Made from all those tears All bets off the table At a time like this Bridge 2 We can't just wash our hands of this What's wrong, and what's right? Hold on for dear life We're in for a bumpy ride All those friends that we'll miss At a time like this Bridge 3 Just one slow, long, eternal kiss Bridge 2 We can't just wash our hands of this

What would it really take for us to Heal? 02:48
lyrics

What would it really take for us to Heal? Its a battlefield Beneath the Earth we tread Should I listen to my heart? Or to my head? Feel What would it really take for us to heal? The hardest battle Is within myself No doubt You've done some damage to my health Feel What would it really take for us to heal? Chorus I learn a little more Each passing day That its wrong for me To simply look away Feel What would it really take for us to heal? What would it really take for us to change? No doubting There's a lot to rearrange Feel What would it really take for us to heal? Bridge Its to you, I really owe my greatest debt Lest not forget Its a battlefield Beneath the Earth we tread Should I listen to my heart? Or to my head? Feel What would it really take for us to heal? Chorus I learn a little more Each passing day That its wrong for me To simply look away Feel What would it really take for us to heal? x2

Being Human I was hunched over I was all alone I was trying to find my way back home It was cold as stone I was a dog, without bone I was trying to find my way back home Chorus Now I need something for the pain Of being human My heads in lock down My hearts out on loan I was trying to find my way back home Bridge We're on our way to somewhere Destination, unknown, unknown Now, I'm stuck in first gear I'm an alien here I was trying to find my way back home I was trying to find my way back home I was trying to find my way back home Bridge 2 Then it's a mystery to me How this rivers running free So free Chorus Now I need something for the pain Of being human Chorus Now I need something for the pain Of being Human Now I need something for the pain Of being human

Ever Since My Eyes Were Opened I play for the diamonds I play for the spades I play for the hearts and clubs I play for the children I stand for all that's good I play for the moon I play for the stars I'm all too often missunderstood I play for the children I stand for all that's good I play for the children I stand for all that's good Chorus I've been seing well So very, very well Ever since my eyes were opened I play for the sea I play for the sand I'd walk on water if I could I play for the children I stand for all that's good I play for the children Chorus 2 I've been seeing well I broke the spell Ever since my eyes were opened I've been seeing well So very well Ever since my eyes were opened They're not stuck in the mud I play for the diamonds I play for the spades I play for the hearts and clubs I play for the children I stand for all that's good Chorus 2 I've been seeing well I broke the spell Ever since my eyes were opened I've been seeing well So very, very well Ever since my eyes were opened

We're Locked Inside 03:19
lyrics

We're Locked Inside The poisoned chalice Winters hide From Spring to Summer We're locked inside Tree's cast shadows Through plastic cries Everyday's a gift A blessing, and a curse The balls out of play God forbid you're a nurse In who'm should I confide? We're locked inside Chorus We've been reckless long enough Wouldn't you agree? You can go out to play But, only once we're really free An angel just cried We're locked inside This winters bite Was long enough Messages fall in numbers They land with words of love Won't you teach me Every chance you get Treat me Like the friend you've not met Chorus We've been reckless long enough Wouldn't you agree? You can go out to play But, only once we're really free An angel just cried We're locked inside An angel just cried We're locked inside The poisoned chalice Autumns tide From spring to summer We're locked inside Tree's cast shadows Through their plastic cries Tree's cast shadows Through their plastic cries Chorus We've been reckless long enough Wouldn't you agree? You can go out to play But, only once we're really free An angel just cried We're locked inside

This Train is Running Late What is it with the 258? This train is running late What is it with the 258? This train is running late Bridge 1 That endless question why This train is running late So late It's enough to make me cry This train is running late What is it with the 257? Gotta find my way to heaven What is it with the 257? Gotta find my way to heaven Bridge 2 That endless question why, why, why, why This train is running late So late It happens all the while Don't forget to smile This train is running late So late What is it with the 256? I'm confused by this What is it with the 256? I'm confused by this Bridge 1 That endless question why, why, why, why This train is running late So late It's enough to make me cry, cry, cry This train is running late I saw a waterfall in the ground And swallows 10ft tall I saw waterfalls in the ground And swallows 10ft tall Bridge 3 This train is running late So late It happens all the while Don't forget to smile This train is running late So late I woke up in frozen caverns I could barely stand at all I've woke up in frozen caverns I could barely stand at all Bridge 4 That endless question why, why, why, why, why This train is running late So late It's enough to make me cry, cry, cry, cry This train is running late So late It happens all the while Don't forget to smile This train is running late What is it with the 257? Gotta find my way my heaven What is it with the 257? Gotta find my way to heaven Bridge 5 It's enough to make me cry, cry, cry, cry This train is running late So late It happens all the while, while, while, while This train is running late So late Don't forget to smile, smile, smile, smile This train is running late So late That endless question, why, why, why, why This train is running late

Gotta Get Back UP I've been out, and I've been empty I got back up My glass was running on half empty I never gave up I was broken, I was damaged I got back up I've been a clown cus heaven sent me Gotta get back up I've been out and running empty I never gave up My hearts a token Would you help me? Gotta get back up Chorus You know it's not easy When you're honest and true When there's too much about me And not enough about you If you're not sleeping Gotta get back up I've won some and I lost some I got back up My glass was running on half empty So I found a cup I'm down cus heaven sent me Gotta get back up Chorus

When there's Barely a Sound 02:47

When there's Barely a Sound You whisper through the roses Your petals fall, onto the ground Light breeze moves like a steam train When there's barely a sound Did someone switch the light on? Separate reality from a dream Its getting hard to notice The bells ring out, it's 10.15 Chorus Can you hear the heavens talking? When there's barely a sound Can you hear the heavens talking? When there's barely a sound Watch the hornet rest a moment Just to wipe her brow What is that she's saying? Gotta find my way, somehow Chorus Can you hear the heavens talking? When there's barely a sound Can you hear the heavens talking? When there's barely a sound Do your eyes light up with wonder? She wouldn't wish to cause offence Do your eyes light up with wonder? While she's sitting on the fence Chorus Can you hear the heavens talking? When there's barely a sound Can you hear the heavens talking? When there's barely a sound

So you don't want to know About the truth Cus' that's no good Cus' that's no good For you And you don't want to know What's coming next Perhaps you may believe That's for the best Chorus Only what if you are wrong? Can they build space ships out of songs? So I can get out of here Before it's too late So I can get out of here Before it's too late So I can get out of here Before it's too late My heart is bleeding black From all it see's Could you take the time To look around you please So you don't want to read Between the lines So keep on building towers of glass While our home declines Chorus Only what if you are wrong? Can they build space ships out of songs? So I can get out of here Before it's too late So I can get out of here Before it's too late So I can get out of here Before it's too late So maybe your distracted Through your day Why is it someone always has to pay? So you don't to know What's coming next Perhaps you will believe that's for the best Chorus Only what if you are wrong? Can they build space ships out of songs? So I can get out of here Before it's too late So I can get out of here Before it's too late So I can get out of here Before it's too late So I can get out of here Before it's too late So I can get out of here Before it's too late
