1000 Skies Somewhere between your breath and your hope Somewhere between ice and water Everything changes and you can paint 1000 skies Somewhere between the call and your name Somewhere between pride and shame Everything changes and you can paint 1000 skies Claiming hollow victory Claiming hollow victory When sleep is a crashing wave When your fear puts you on a stage Everything changes and your can paint 1000 skies Sometimes all you know cannot protect you only expose you lay you bare for all the world to see Sometimes the answers are in the shadows around dark corners where there are only questions Waiting there Waiting there Waiting there Claiming hollow victory Claiming hollow victory Claiming hollow victory Claiming hollow victory	Top Back to lyrics	Black and White Rainbow Am I wasting my time Chasing black and white rainbows And all that is sacred to me Holding signs that no one else can see Now that I have laid to rest the ghosts that chase me Bared my naked soul and made my apology Let your fire burn me Let your water drown me Use my own words to convict me Am I wasting my time Chasing black and white rainbows And all that is sacred to me Holding signs that no one else can see I have taken all my money and buried it deep in the sand Burnt what I have to ashes and sprinkled them on sacred ground Let your fire burn me Let your water drown me Use my own rope to hang me What if everybody was wrong And if I was truly sorry would they forgive me Am I wasting my time Am I wasting my time Chasing black and white rainbows And all that is sacred to me Holding signs that no one else can see
What I am What I am Make no apologies I understand that there may be nothing left for me Sometimes words scare me Lately words fail me I did what I did I am what I am Ancient wounds surely they're not bleeding Ancient dances are worth remembering Sometimes I am angry And anger breathes life into me I did what I did I am what I am Is this not what you expected? All before you is what has become of me Still I don’t know the road ahead of me All signs are twisted Streetlights are shattered I did what I did I am what I am	Top Back to lyrics	The Empty House The windows are banging in the wind The curtains are half drawn No record now of what was once in All the memories are gone Now that house is empty The phone it never rings No one sends it letters anymore It is like it has no friends Sometimes there is nothing you can say To fill a space again But when you close your eyes You can see it all again Now that house is empty The phone it never rings No one sends it letters anymore It is like it has no friends If these walls could talk They would tell a story of a life together But four walls can't hold in the memories Just the ruins of a dirty little war I once had a friend She once had me Now that time is empty Now those walls they don’t surround me As I left for the last time And closed the gate behind me Leaving empty between four walls Now that house is empty Now that house is empty
What you look for is the hardest thing to see I left I walked out the door I didn’t look back I ain’t going to turn to salt no more I tell you this between you and me What you look for is the hardest thing to see. I cleaned the table for the makers of the law I picked their rubbish right up off the floor I smiled back when they said to me What you look for is the hardest thing to see When it was time to rally around the flag I stole the flowers from the Unknown Soldier grave I asked the question screaming to be heard but I left before the answer was said If there is mercy in the shadows of regret I bite the apples in the bucket of contempt I ride the roller coaster crashing back to earth I tell a little white lie I was not the first. What you look for is the hardest thing to see What you look for is the hardest thing to see So hard it's so hard to see	Top Back to lyrics Top Back to lyrics	Rise If history is a stranger to you If your lessons are learnt your lessons are forgotten It is all over now time has slipped away Events move beyond your control If your slogans are fading Your voices are breaking The papers fall apart blow away in the wind Get wet and rot away No tide is turning no ships are sailing No wind to carry you away Your flag is not rising no dawn is breaking No sun rising on a better day When each little victory is only a glimpse of what could be They never add up any way when you think you have held the line In the end you are pushed further and further behind No tide is turning no ships are sailing No wind to carry you away Your flag is not rising no dawn is breaking No sun rising on a better day All the words that could be said Bounce around like balls inside and empty head You can’t listen anymore your too far gone The future you cannot hold The children of the revolution pushing buttons in a game of confusion Those who want for more don’t know what to say As the weight of silence pushes them down If history is a stranger to you How are you going to rise No tide is turning no ships are sailing No wind to carry you away Your flag is not rising no dawn is breaking No sun rising on a better day Rise Rise Until we all rise Until we all rise up
Touch Surely there are things you wouldn’t do the same There must be words you would never say again Many papers you would burn Disguises you would never wear again When the writing is on the wall The water drop so full it must fall Hit the ground explode apart Rise to meet the sun become rain in the dark I must see eyes to talk Touch the ground to walk Skin to touch to love Hands to hold to give There are birds that fly away and never return Wood once burnt cannot be burned Black and soft it falls apart Rising as smoke or left as ash in the dirt I must see eyes to talk Touch the ground to walk Skin to touch to love Hands to hold to give The people you meet you may never meet again An enemy you make might become your friend Or just another face in a crowded street Someone you don’t think of until you meet I must see eyes to talk Touch the ground to walk Skin to touch to love Hands to hold to give I must see eyes to talk Touch the ground to walk Skin to touch to love Hands to hold to give	Top Back to lyrics	Floating above the world If you think you are crazy If you think you are right If you think you can face it Floating above the world If you come from nowhere Call no place home If you left your heart in a moon shadow Floating above the world. The trees they dance the wind it sang The sun came up and went down again Floating above the world Cars moved like shadows People’s faces were a blur You can’t reach anything to touch Floating above the world Talk without speaking Listening in the shadows Watching from the wings Floating above the world On those nights I touch no one No one touches me What I feel is a mystery Floating above the world
