Lyrics

All the songs I love are written by people who fade away / How can I trust anyone when they just want their own way? / Silence isn’t golden when it’s time to have something to say // We are just kids, wide open and vulnerable / In a city on fire burning out of control // One by one we fall until there’s no one left to lead the way / We thought they would save us but our dreams were all naivete / Every single lie became the ember that went up in flames // We are just kids, wide open and vulnerable / In a city on fire burning out of control // This is the breakdown / Of all we thought was safe for us / A place for us / Home to us / Do we even know how to let go? // The wind carries us to the edge of the wilderness / ‘Exiled Outliers’ tattooed upon our flesh / But the desert is a refuge when the city is burning down // We are just kids, wide open and vulnerable / In a city on fire burning out of control // This is the breakdown / Of all we thought was safe for us / A place for us / Home to us / Do we even know how to let go? / ‘Cause we can’t go back // Torn apart / Unraveling / Can’t go back / We need a / Unraveling / Can’t go back // The flames are the way forward / The flames are the way // We need a breakdown / Before we start to build again / So can we just let go //

I was born in a war zone / Told to pick sides so I chose one / We were so good together / But you had eyes for another / You started to think you owned me / It was all in your head / What you took / I never gave / What you did was a mistake / That you don’t see // You can’t love someone / When you won’t let go / Of another love / When you won’t say no // Rivers always find the lowest ground / Catch me up and carry me out / Come to me and show me I am found / I don’t want to be alone // I’m a long way from home / Call me a rebel, a vagabond / You don’t understand / I will live I will wander / You’ll be drunk on your power / Or what’s left of it / Stop trying to make excuses / For everything you’ve said / All the messes that you made / There’s not a chance that I’ll take the blame / No matter what you say // You can’t love someone / When you won’t let go / Of another love / When you won’t say no // Rivers always find the lowest ground / Catch me up and carry me out / Come to me and show me I am found / I don’t want to be alone // Careful of the burdens / Careful of distortion / Careful of the burdens / Careful of persuasions / Careful of the burdens / Waiting to constrain you / Careful //

Save me / I don’t want to stay here / I have had to bury more than you know / All because you refuse to listen / Save me / From the domination / You want me invisible even though / I’m the one making all the difference // Nothing I can do to change your minds / Leaving is the only way sometimes / To live but I still die a little bit inside // Save me / I don’t want to hate you / Every time the words come out of your mouth / Play the part / I know you won’t lose // Nothing I can do to change your minds / Leaving is the only way sometimes / To live but I still die a little bit inside // I’m tired of fighting / For my place, for a place / What else is there to do / When you tell me // Keep your head down / Don’t look up / Say the right thing / Not too much / Nothing is ever enough / Nothing is ever enough / I came in peace / But it cost so much // My heroes go another way / Through shadows / In obscurity / Our present is their history / My heroes / Travel lightly here / As strangers / Walking through my dreams / Conforming is a trivial thing //

Steady now / You’ve not been / This way before / You’re going in / Innocent / Brace for collision // For the dark / Is part / Of the course // Take your time / Step by step / Gradual victory / Don’t forget / Significance / Wrecks like a tempest // Know the dark / Is part / Of the course / It’s part / Of the course // Heart wide open / Don’t shut down now / Find solace / Slow burning / Use your heart and you will understand / Use your heart to help you understand / Find solace / Look for it / It’s just darkness, only darkness / It’s just dark here / For now //

I belong to a place / Ancient and strange / Where the shadows take flight / And nobody will tell you a lie / An unshakeable place / Ancient and strange / An explosion of life / Where the music will never die // I can feel you / Like a storm / Overshadows / All I know / I can hear you / In my head, in my head / It’s like a sort of circuitry we share // We are not far / Reach out to me / Reach out to me // Catching movement / Subtle drifts / Lift you up / And out of it / This is how we find ourselves, find ourselves / Inside the desolation of our minds / You don’t just disappear / Like you think / Like you feel // Reach out to me / I reach for you / Reach out // Push through the disconnection, we aren’t too far away / Reach out to me, reach out / / I belong to a place / Ancient and strange / Where the shadows take flight / And nobody will tell you a lie / An explosion of life / Where the music will never die //

Everything became like sunrise / I can still see the changing shapes / Beckoning while I held my breath / You were asleep / I sang a song / And you liked it that way / And you liked it that way / And we were together // Every song I sing / Is a road that leads / To our own story / We are just beginning //
