Go ahead and take up all my time It’s slipping through my hands But it was never mine to hold Go ahead and make the sun explode It's telling me again That this is my last chance to go Every day, I wait for you How can we believe in empty skies? The faith we need is always incomplete The innocence is always fading in our eyes But this is where we belong tonight I would rather die than let you down I swear on my own name I know that we will see We stand alone on solid ground We're planning our escape To find the place we're running to Every day, I wait Counting down the seconds till we come alive again And we begin Can’t stop time, through my hands

Voices (free) 04:09
Always hiding your eyes, does it make you feel safe? Wearing out your disguise on your dispassionate face Secrets will come spilling out your lungs Haunted by the truth beneath your tongue Hello, you couldn’t lose me if you tried And I remember why Let go, ‘cause I’ll never disappear And you know these voices will be here This fiction that you design, these myths you make so misled You write us out, one by one, from stories you’ve never read Secrets will come spilling out your lungs With all the melodies you've left unsung Let it go Let them disappear Hold your own And remember that these voices will be here I know it’s all you’ve ever known, one day you’ll learn to let go

We are only strangers Somehow brought to this place by fate Passing on the freeway, never say a word I know that it's too late Somehow, we couldn't hold on I'm sorry if you feel like I let you down But someday, your father will be gone Will you go on? Her face begins to show it Slowly starts to reveal the ache All I ever wanted was broken in your eyes A nightmare I just can't shake All we are, all we are All we are, all we are, are, all... Somehow, we couldn't hold on I'm sorry if you feel like I let you down But someday, your father will be gone Will you go on? Somehow, you never knew the truth That all they ever did was try to save you And someday, our father will be gone Will you go on?

The coldest nights could always find me here Four years gone, but it remains unclear The frozen lights, our footsteps on the ground Even now, the city has no sound And still I find myself lost inside that perfect fall We had it all And still I find myself lost inside a crowded room And no one knew The days were golden, and when morning came Disconnected, I would hold onto your name And read through books of worlds where love could still exist Between the lines, there was was a lesson that we missed If only I had known The worst was yet to come They found us in the kitchen Folding dollar bills into little elephants upon the window sill All I ever wanted was to find my way back home Even by your side, I know that I was all alone

Gemini 05:22
Faceless shadows in the corners of my eyes They’re not proud of who I am ‘Cause who I am’s not who I’ve been Who are you now? A soul without a name And I won’t surrender anymore This curse is mine to claim Something’s hiding in the corners of your mouth But if you smile, you’re a fool ‘Cause I’ve got secrets too Who are you now?
7.
All this careful quiet Growing colder by the day We look back, we fade away And these softly spoken thoughts Filled with words I cannot say You turn to me, I turn away When you close your eyes, is she where she belongs? When you close your eyes, do you see where we went wrong?
