Our big mistake is not fearing them at all The greatest myth is pride before a fall There's no pride before a fall This space only exists between the dirt and ground Patterns carved in stone mark this home Mark your home Our big mistake is not fearing them at all The greatest myth is pride before a fall There's no pride before this fall (we follow, we go, we stay, it ends) There's no pride before this fall (we follow, we go, we stay, it ends) There's no pride before this fall (we follow, we go, we stay, it ends) There's no pride before this fall (we follow, we go, we stay, it ends) (we follow, we go, we stay, it ends) This space only exists between the dirt and ground (we follow, we go, we stay, it ends) Patterns carved in stone mark this home (we follow, we go, we stay, it ends) Mark your home (we follow, we go, we stay, it ends)

In all those times I feel that I am lost Watching voices move in front. Three and four Sounds that weave themselves into the strongest arms To wrap around and keep my shoulders, keep my heart warm They say sticks and stones Will only break my bones but my own pen can out slay will outrank any sword A heart that's made of coal still smoulders on below And words we'll never say, can never say, you'll never know On days when it's too much Stories told in touch Comfort comes in patterns written down in code These grooves worn in the ground From pedals held down Stay with me til grow tired, we grow old

If we drift, then we drift We'll meet back at the shore From light and dark to feathers and steel Not for words, but for the feel And nothing is secret, only pretence. Smoothed down over time. Sacrifice the "now" for "maybe when" When sighs become songs Memories become rosaries to soothing chants - strung together in a loop to cycle again and again and again - clasped in hands and buried in velvet bags. Smoothed down over time. And if we drift then we'll drift. Memories for the "maybe when".

Even sugar becomes bitter when you burn it enough times. The strongest wall collapses at the final strike. And sometimes Sometimes Sometimes I wish that I had someone to stand with me. And sometimes, sometimes I wish I had someone to stand with me. And lightning makes the colour fall in and out. Time solves all, but what if I'm all out? And sometimes Sometimes Sometimes I wish I had someone to stand with me. And sometimes, sometimes I wish I had someone to stand with me.

In the open all is clear: every story every breath that I held dear As I press these keys and write these notes Broken memories, broken hearts I hope they float Broken posts that frame this bed These drowning thoughts around my head I have known what, I have known what you can't say I'll be gone then, I'll be gone at break of day And love that binds us to this town is the same thing, it's the same thing turned around In the morning, in the morning we are done In the morning, in the morning you are gone.
