Thin Air

I saw you walk in through the door and find
And find something you knew before
I found a way to make you say
That I’d have missed you more
I saw this coming in the night
In a dream that wasn’t there
Now here we are and here we go
Getting lost inside thin air
What’s brought you here I do not know
These problems we faced long ago
The troubles that you we saw before
Have come alive once more
You have to help me face my fears
Those final years bring on my tears
Goodbye is the last word I say
When I have lost our way
We’re stuck in someone’s future
I don’t know when we lie
All I know is what I want I cannot recognise
I don’t know whose time we’ve wasted
But I know you think it’s you
All I wanna do is what you know I wanna do
We’re stuck in someone’s future
I don’t know when we lie
All I know is what I want I cannot recognise
I don’t know whose time we’ve wasted
But I know you think it’s you
All I wanna do is what you know I wanna do
I saw you walk in through the door and find
And find something you knew before
I found a way to make you say
That I’d have missed you more
I saw this coming in the night
In a dream that wasn’t there
Now here we are and here we go
Getting lost inside thin air

I Just Want More

I’d die to see you here
The battle’s lost and won
But we will dance this dance we’ve done
Under the dying sun
Forever’s at our door I shouldn’t ask for more
But every time I see your face it pains me to the core
I just want more
The end was near
And then you put this curse upon my soul
But when it comes to take its toll
I’m left here on my own
Forever’s at my door I shouldn’t ask for more
But when they go and leave me here it pains me to the core
I just want more
Oh doctor, doctor, can I see you one more time
I need some help, I need to find some greater peace of mind
Oh doctor, doctor, help me lock myself away
The times we’ve seen, the games we play…
Please say: “I’ll help you through this nightmare, come along with me,
Now take my hand and you will say that we’ll both be free…”
Forever’s at my door but I don’t trust your words
So in the end I’m all alone and this is my curse

Get Out Of Here

Walking down the street I see a figure shaped you
Trying just to figure out if what he sees is true
Cos things that you might say and do don’t have to fly by me
I don’t want your point of view in my personality
Try your best to keep abreast of this endless human rage
Thinking how to set a bet so we’re on the same page
And we’re running out of time to make a difference without war
And we have to shut you up cos your nonsense is a bore
When people say they’ve been asleep for days
I’m in dismay cos hell is being raised
Cos he makes every mistake but he’s the last man standing
Hiding from fame and we can’t get enough of him
Why should we try when he’s so good at hiding?
Why should we cry?
Goodbye
Get out of here
Everything that’s set in stone must stay that way, you know
But shine a light upon this blade and watch a dazzling show
Cos all it takes is a fine king and that’ll be the end
The people sing for royal bling but this is all pretend
When people say they've been asleep for days
I'm in dismay cos hell is being raised
Cos he makes every mistake but he's the last man standing
Hiding from fame and we can't get enough of him
Why should we try when he's so good at hiding?
Why should we cry?
Goodbye
Get out of here
We're stuck in someone's future
I don't know which one is mine
I can hear a voice that's calling
Down with chaos, down with lies
We're stuck in someone's future and
I don't know which way to hide
I can hear a voice that's calling
I am with you, on your side
We’re stuck in someone’s future
I don’t know when we lie
All I know is what I want I cannot recognise
I don’t know whose time we’ve wasted
But I know you think it’s you
All I wanna do is what you know I wanna do

Pretend It's Me
04:08

It may not seem like I am desperate
Unable to perceive indignity
But you have found me, and accordingly
You tried on all my patience
But be sure
I would from this point rather be myself
Mighty and feared, but this condition
Which has been known to all but in lock-down
And therefore I lost that title of respect
With a heart full of hope
And a payout to impound
Our house, this common ground
Little deserves the courage
Or the greatness that it used to be
Or the same greatness that is in your hands
Even though it’s so low-key
Oh I’ll pretend it’s me
And I’ll go on honestly
It’s cold and it is raining
And self-esteem sleeps for eternity
But you have found me, and apparently
You are the last one known
To be sure
This is a cause they deem worth fighting for
Hidden and small, an acquisition
Which would better us all despite the call
And after all, this is going to persist
And the only thing I’ve missed
Was nothing after all
Our house, this common ground
Little deserves the courage
Or the greatness that it used to be
Or the same greatness that is in your hands
Even though it’s so low-key
Oh I’ll pretend it’s me
And I’ll go on quietly
So you have found me, but conveniently
I’ll slip into the floor
And ignore
Our house, this common ground
Little deserves the courage
Or the greatness that it used to be
Or the same greatness that is in your hands
Even though it’s so low-key
Oh I’ll pretend it’s me
And I’ll go on endlessly
