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 singin'

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 parts
Left smashed off 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 parts
Smashed off the floor

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor

Someone turn me around
(We've all been changed from what we were)
Can I start this again?
(Our broken parts smashed off the floor)
Now someone turn us around
(We've all been changed from what we were)
Can we start this again?
(Our broken parts smashed off the floor)

. . .



I don't think that it's
Gonna rain again today,
There's a devil at your side,
But an angel on the 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 what I go to...

You came on your own,
And 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 what I go to...

You came on your own,
And that's how you'll leave,
With hope in your hands,
And air to breathe,
You'll lose everything,
But in the end,
Still my broken limbs,
Will find time to mend

More and more people I
Know are getting ill
(Put something good on 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'll lose everything,
But in the end,
Still my broken limbs,
Will find time to mend

You came on your own,
That's how you'll leave, x2

You came on your own x2

. . .


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 in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will it mean something to someone?
You’ve used my broken bones
Back together we …?
Lift the weight of the world
From my shoulders again
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will it mean something to someone?
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone
You touch my face scarred with spurs?
In my …
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear
You touch my face
Scarred with spurs?
In my year/ear/..
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear
Fear
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will mean something to someone
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone

How come you're always late for your arrival?
You know I forgive you every single time

Retreat, retreat I've fallen at the low tide
Retreat, retreat 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 that I need

A system's put in place
Put there to protect us
For you I throw a life line every time

Retreat, retreat I've fallen at the low tide
Retreat, retreat 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 I need

Bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching heart
Full of love

Bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching heart
Full of love

Bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching heart

Bones
Bones

I watch as yoru 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 gloves
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 cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok

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 cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok

How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know...

These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok

When the time comes
You're no longer here
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

I push my hands 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

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 hands 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

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

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

. . .


If I lay face down on the ground
Would you walk all over me?
Have we learnt what we set out to learn?
Well come home, 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 prize from your hand
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 toward 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
theres life in us yet love
these walls we will climb above

we really our ants now
escape the nest somehow
i ache for a feeling
you came and you poured it in, it in.

buildings in clouds here
our time and our place dear
theres 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.

im drained and im empty
ive still got love in me
theres eyes in the sky tonight
watching us lose the fight

we really are ants now
escape the nest somehow
i ache for a feeling
you came and you poured it in, it in.

through the trees to feel as small as you can,
you hear the clocks counting down,
the nights are longer now than ever before,

Theres 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
Or we'll 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 its all better (on your own?)

Every little piece pulls
In its own direction
Please love dont be scared
It's just your own reflection

Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand
Or we'll 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 its all better (on your own?)

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 cant 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 cant face the night like I used to before

I don't want to go out on my own anymore
I cant 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

. . .


My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight
My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight
London hides her starry night
She covers them all up with light

My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight
Please would you watch over me if I sleep
Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

Imagine how a father feels to witness his son in a fight
Imagine how a father feels to witness his son in a fight
London hides her starry night
She covers them all up with light

My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight
Please would you watch over me if I sleep
Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

Please would you watch over me if I sleep
Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

I made my place at this table
I'll pass the tears if I'm able
Don't pick up the pieces
Don't pick up the pieces
Don't pick up the pieces
Don't pick up the pieces

My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight
My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight
Please would you watch over me if I sleep
Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

Oh please would you watch over me if I sleep
Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

Don't pick up the pieces
Don't pick up the pieces

. . .


Open up now baby
There is a place in my heart
Chin up now sweetness
There is a space in my heart
For you

Open up now angel
There is a place in my heart
Chin up now sweetness
There is a space in my heart
For you

You are home
You are home
You are home

Can we start this again?

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts

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

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor

Someone turn me around
(We've all been changed from what we were)
Can I start this again?
(Our broken parts smashed off the floor)
Now someone turn us around

Why d'you keep a lock on the door?
These people bang their heads like the law
Why d'you keep a lock on the door?
Do you even know?

You let out a laugh,
Like a child,
Now go find yourself a place to stay in this world
No one knows about.

Why d'you keep a lock on the door?
These people bang their heads like the law
Why d'you keep a lock on the door?
Do you even know?

You let out a laugh,

No one knows about.

Why d'you keep a lock, why d'you keep a lock on the door?
Why d'you keep a lock, why d'you keep a lock on the door?

You let out a laugh,
Like a child,
Now go find yourself a place to stay in this world
No one knows about.
