AN END HAS A START
Pull the blindfold down
So your eyes can't see
Now run as fast as you can
Through this field of trees
Say goodbye to everyone
You have ever known
You are not gonna see them
Ever again
I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors
Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
How can we wear our smiles
With our mouths wide shut
'Cause you stopped us from singing
I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors
Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?
We've all been changed from what we were
Our broken hearts left smashed on the floor
I can't believe you
If I can't hear you
I can't believe you
If I can't hear you
(We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken hearts
Smashed on the floor
We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken hearts
Smashed on the floor)
Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?
I don't think that it's gonna rain again today
There's a devil at your side
But an angel on her way
Someone hit the light
'cause there's more here to be seen
When you caught my eye
I saw everywhere I'd been and wanna go to
You came on your own, that's how you'll leave
With hope in your hands and air to breathe
I won't disappoint you as you fall apart
Some things should be simple
Even an end has a start
Someone hit the light
'cause there's more here to be seen
When you caught my eye
I saw everywhere I'd been and wanna go to
You came on your own, that's how you'll leave
With hope in your hands and air to breathe
You'll lose everything by the end
Still my broken limbs you find time to mend
More and more people I know are getting ill
Pull something good from the ashes
Now be still
You came on your own, that's how you'll leave
With hope in your hands and air to breathe
You lose everything by the end
Still my broken limbs you choose to mend
You came on your own, that's how you'll leave
You came on your own, that's how you'll leave
You came on your own
You came on your own
Keep a light on those you love
They will be there when you die
Baby, there's no need to fear
Baby, there's no need to cry
Every little piece of your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Well it means something to someone
You fuse my broken bones
Back together and then
Lift the weight of the world
From my shoulders again
Every little piece of your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
It'll mean something to someone
Every little piece of your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone
You touch my face, God whispers in my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces
You touch my face, God whispers in my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear
Fear
Every little piece of your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone
Every little piece of your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone
How can you always be late for your arrival?
You know I'd forgive you every single time
Retreat, retreat, I've fallen at the low tide
Oh, retreat, retreat and meet me by the quayside
In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through
Are your eyes showing off for mine?
Your face in my hands is everything good I need
The system's put in place, put there to protect us
For you I'd throw a lifeline every time
Oh, retreat, retreat, I've fallen at the low tide
Now retreat, retreat and meet me by the quayside
In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through
Are your eyes showing off for mine?
Your face in my hands is everything good I need
Bones starved of flesh surround an aching heart
Full of love
Oh, bones, starved of flesh surround your aching heart
Full of love
Bones starved of flesh surround your aching heart
Bones
Oh bones
I watch as your eyes show off for mine
I watch as your eyes show off
I watch as your eyes show off for mine
I watch as your eyes show off
It creeps all over you like a dull ache
Think of all the things your hands could make
It pulls you to the ground like soaking wet clothes
The change in your face when anger shows
In that moment you realise that
Something you thought would always be there
Will die like everything else
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I can't make sense of
I need you to tell me it's okay
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I can't make sense of
I need you to tell me it's okay
You are a sleeping lion
In your bed I will not wake you
You're the moment love has passed
We all must learn to hate you
You're a memory from before
Please, don't let me forget you
You're the wolves at my door
In that moment you realise that
Something you thought would always be there
Will die like everything else
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I can't make sense of
I need you to tell me it's okay
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I can't make sense of
I need you to tell me it's okay
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands won't move to do a day's work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands won't move to do a day's work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands won't move to do a day's work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands won't move to do a day's work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands won't move to do a day's work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands won't move to do a day's work?
How can you know...
How can you know...
How can you know...
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I can't make sense of
I need you to tell me it's okay
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I can't make sense of
I just need you to tell me it's okay
When the time comes that you're no longer there
Fall down to my knees, begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep them all in
I keep up with the racing rats
And do my best to win
Slow down, little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play
Standing at the edge of your town
With the skyline in your eyes
Reaching up to God
The sun says its goodbyes
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave in the surface of the earth?
Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We'll live different lives
Until our cover's blown
I push my hand up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly night time has begun
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave in the surface of the earth?
The surface of the earth
Come on now
You knew you were lost
But you carried on anyway
Oh, come on now
You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave?
And if a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it make in the surface of the earth?
The surface of the earth
The surface of the earth
PUSH YOUR HEAD TOWARDS THE AIR
If I lay face down on the ground
Would you walk all over me?
Have we learnt
What we set out to learn?
Well then, love, we will see
Now don't drown in your tears, babe
Push your head towards the air
Now don't drown in your tears, babe
I will always be there
When you fall and you
Can't find your way
Push your hand up to the sky
I will run just to
To be by your side
Don't you ever bat an eye
Now don't drown in your tears, babe
Push your head towards the air
Now don't drown in your tears, babe
I will always be there
But I will tear the price from your head
And keep you from harm - that's what you said
There's people climbing out of their cars
Lining the roadside
Trying to glimpse at the dead
Now don't drown in your tears, babe
Push your head towards the air
Now don't drown in your tears, babe
I will always be there
Buildings in clouds here
Our time and our place dear
There's life in us yet, love
These walls we will climb above
We really are ants now
Escape the nest somehow
I ached for a feeling
You came and you poured it in, it in
Buildings in clouds here
Our time and our place dear
There's life in us yet, love
These walls we will climb above, above
Look up through the trees to feel as small as you can
You hear the clocks counting down
The nights are longer now than ever before
But now you see the lights from the town
I'm drained and I'm empty
I've still got love in me
There's eyes in the sky tonight
Watching us lose the fight
We really are ants now
Escape the nest somehow
I ached for a feeling
You came and you poured it in, it in
Look up through the trees to feel as small as you can
You hear the clocks counting down
The nights are longer now than ever before
But now you see the lights from the town
Look up through the trees to feel as small as you can
You hear the clocks counting down
The nights are longer now than ever before
But now you see the lights of the town
There's spiders in your room
But there always will be
There's people to be fooled
And there always has been
Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand, I will carry you
Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand, come back to me
Come back to me
With your back to the wall
You've got one place to fall
Sometimes it's all
Better unknown
Every little piece
Pulls in its own direction
Please, love, don't be scared
It's just your own reflection
Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand, I will carry you
Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand, come back to me
Come back to me
With your back to the wall
You've got one place to fall
Sometimes it's all
Better unknown
With your back to the wall
You've got one place to fall
Sometimes it's all
Better unknown
With your back to the wall
You've got one place to fall
Sometimes it's all
Better unknown
Wake up, my love
Today I heard some bad news
Just what are we all supposed to do?
I won't let them get to you
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
I can't face the night like I used to before
Take my well worn hand
Let's lock ourselves away
We'll never, ever step outside
We'll curl up in a ball and hide
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
I can't face the night like I used to before
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
I can't face the night like I used to before
I'm so sorry for the things that they've done
I'm so sorry about what we've all become
