I was an army once A liar in lovers clothes A force to be reckoned with I was an angel once Cast out on broken wings Gave in to everything I don't mind these sad goodbyes As long as they come from my friends But every night it drives me wild That I find myself back here again I was a temptress once A painted face in the crowd Silently screaming out I was a hero once Beaming and standing proud While the world was just crashing down I don't mind these sad goodbyes As long as they come from my friends But every night it drives me wild That I find myself back here again Every broken note inside my symphony Every line I wrote is a scar you cannot see If I ever start to fade inside your memory Just press play Every single moment that we gave away For all the things I tried to but could never say If you ever start to think that you have lost your way Just press play I was a prophet once High on a mountain top Until I looked at myself And I found That I was a devil once In somebody else's eyes And I never made amends I don't mind these sad goodbyes As long as they come from my friends But every night it drives me wild That I find myself back here again Every broken note inside my symphony Every line I wrote is a scar you cannot see If I ever start to fade inside your memory Just press play Every single moment that we gave away For all the things I tried to but could never say If you ever start to think that you have lost your way Just press play

With a sun burned back and a restless smile We turn to face the ones Who would stab our backs Who would light the fire Redeeming everyone I'm out here all on my own Cuz when you dig a grave You dig it for two Better dig it deep Cuz when you dig a grave Is it deep enough? When the lights go out will you just wait for it. Or will you strike the faster blow Cuz there's no regret like a wasted moment There's beauty in the letting go I'm out here all on my own Cuz when you dig a grave... You know the way this story will end You give yourself away Lose it all in the end That's why they say When you dig a grave You dig it for two Better dig it deep Cuz when you dig a grave Is it deep enough?

Early hour riser high Watch the sun wake in the morning A smarter man would take his money far away What can I say? I'm gonna stay With the light upon the shelf Did I do this to myself? With a heart that's aching And it just might break We tow the line and just keep going We trace our stories across the sky when we come back down Don't say that its too late Cuz I'm hoping you'll stay If I was a mountain with places to hide I'd keep you happy and warm if you like If I was a soldier I'd fight for your throne If I was a river I'd carry you home With the light upon the shelf Did I do this to myself? With a heart that's aching And it just might break With the light upon the shelf Did I do this to myself? With a heart that's aching And it just might break If I was a mountain with places to hide I'd keep you happy and warm if you like If I was a soldier I'd fight for your throne If I was a river I'd carry you home If I was a mountain with places to hide I'd keep you happy and warm if you like If I was a soldier I'd fight for your throne If I was a river I'd carry you home

THE JOURNEY: Don't say stop Don't stop living Living with dreams Dreams are forgiving Giving you hope Hoping you find your way Don't say when Don't say nothing Nothing is best but it Better mean something More than voice More than the heart can say Give me your hand Hand me your liars Lie to my face Face your desires Giving you hope Hoping you find your way Get on the train Ride it to nowhere Where you end up Hope that its somewhere You can call home Cuz home is where you belong Like a freight train Like a new day coming Like a big wave You gotta keep running from I can't help you It was not my fault Like a sun ray I'm gonna keep shining On a dark day Like an angel in paradise I can't help you It was not my fault Man with a dog Down on the corner Begging for scraps Down with disorder Asking for change but Unwilling to change his heart Get on the train Ride it to nowhere Where you end up Hope that its somewhere You can call home Cuz home is where you belong I've got a name like anyone Fall out the sky and see what you've done Bring me the peace I'm looking for I've got a name like anyone Fall out the sky and see what you've done Bring me the peace I'm looking for Like a freight train Like a new day coming Like a big wave You gotta keep running from I can't help you It was not my fault Like a sun ray I'm gonna keep shining On a dark day Like an angel in paradise I can't help you It was not my fault Like a freight train Like a new day coming Like a big wave You gotta keep running from I can't help you It was not my fault Like a sun ray I'm gonna keep shining On a dark day Like an angel in paradise THE ATLAS: Welcome home dear To the place where Time is slow Here, will you stay? THE PRIZE: I guess I'm a sinner Lord knows I'm thinner Nobody wins a war There's hate and there's anger Directed at strangers But nobody knows what for You have the life you do Because you gave it all you got You never said "I quit" And man that really says a lot If I can be more than a memory, I pick you Working on weekends When happiness depends On more than the size of your check I got angels and demons And Jesus between them With no one here I'd be a wreck You have the life you do Because you gave it all you got You never said "I quit" And man that really says a lot If I can be more than a memory, I pick you

Dark was the night my lover was took by the storm Set sail at first light, and now he may sleep with the foam I will walk until the tide comes in Until the ocean brings me back my lover yet again Black was the sea, that rendered my journey complete The blood from my heart, now lives with him there in the dark Five years passed Since I've held my lovers dear hand And now that I'm gone I no longer walk on the sand I have walked until the tide came in Until the ocean brought me to my lover yet again I will walk until the tide comes in Until the ocean brings me back my lover yet again

Soft in the middle until he breaks He don't want to But he's going to let it out Alive in the little lies we say For a cost dear We could get lost here Inside in the riddle of what it means When you're not here I get lost here Longing for simple times it seems Is an art dear So damn hard to stay away I never needed a reason before Just to be sure Your love don't get me high no more I never needed a reason to lie Just step inside Your love don't get me high no more

I'm so tired of playing Playing with this bow and arrow Gonna give my heart away Leave it to the other girls to play For I've been a temptress too long Just... Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be a woman I just wanna be a woman From this time, unchained We're all looking at a different picture Through this new frame of mind A thousand flowers could bloom Move over and give us some room, yeah Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be a woman I just want to be a woman So don't you stop being a man Just take a little look From our side when you can Sow a little tenderness No matter if you cry Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be a woman I just want to be a woman It's all I wanna be, is all a woman For this is the beginning Of forever and ever It's time to move over It's all I want to be I'm so tired of playing Playing with this bow and arrow Gonna give my heart away Leave it to the other girls to play For I've been a temptress too long Just... Give me a reason to love you

Steady as she goes Deeper than she's gone before Said she must return All the love she lost before And I'd be a liar If I said I missed you Cuz such simple words Could never replace you So steady as she goes Steady as she goes Farther than she's ever known For everything she's learned No closer than she was before And I'd be on fire If I entered your atmosphere The truth is I burn brighter when you are near So steady as she goes
