Lyrics:
Falling Stars (feat. Josh Carraway & Freedom Anthem)
I could run the whole world/I could give 'em a sight/Captivating beauty like/Falling stars in the sky/Staring out my window/On this cold winter's night/I could burn so brightly/Without you here tonight/Your love hurts/Your words are cheap/And you ain't what you're worth/You never call me/'less I call you first/Then you're like/"Sorry baby,/I'm at work..."/Pay me no attention/Infinite detention/The way you plague my mind/Is way beyond my comprehension/Let's just cut this tension/You don't have to mention/What you're thinking I can sense/All your apprehension…
Warzone
You said you fight for me/But all you do is complain.../When the battle starts blazing/You say you'll come in/You said you'd die for me/That's a lie in itself/When shots fired in/You only saved yourself.../You won't protect me/You won't save me/You don't hold me like you used to/You don't miss me/You don't need me/You don't love me like you used to/And I-/Am fighting a lie-/And I-/Am fighting alone-.../We fight our battles in the bedroom/Our love is war.../Break away from honesty/What are we're fighting for?/Trained in combat of the brokenhearted/Tired and beaten I fall/Casualty on the battlefield of love/What am I trying for?/Yes!/Just let the bombs explode/Let the bombs explode/Here will be fireworks/Scarred with broken love/Let the bombs explode/I'm willing to die for you/I'm willing to die for you/You wouldn't do the same/So, let the bombs explode/Let the bombs explode/Let the bombs explode!!!
Miscommunication
Hello? Are you there?/I'm dialing your number/And there's no one near/The sound of the TV/And radio/I hear myself echo/On the phone/I check the connection/I dial it again/But there's no sound at all/Not even a ring/Operator, can you put me through?/My love is waiting/And I don't know what to do/We miscommunicate/Establish a home base/We miscommunicate/(We miscommunicate)/(We miscommunicate, tonight)/We miscommunicate/Can't let us fall to fate/We miscommunicate/(We miscommunicate)/(We miscommunicate, tonight)/Hello? Don't pick up.../I think the line's broken/'tween the two of us/I wanna tell you how I really feel/What good will it do?/When you can't hear/I check the connection/And/I try it again/But there's no sound at all/Not even a ring/Operator, can you put me through?/My love is waiting/And I don't know what to do
The Wire
While the fire rains/See the man turning into dust/Everyone's gone insane/Saying we've traded love for lust/We don't need no preacher/We don't need no holy books' advice/I just need the feeler/I just need to know that you're alive/In the wire.../Feel the greens burn/Rise from ashes he touched the sky/This our endless light/Eternal darkness their eyes/I just see forever/I can feel eternity for a mile/While they try to break it/All together living on the line
Silence (The Point of No Return)
One million truths/One million lies/One million tears/I have cried/One million fears/One million died/One million fail/One million try/One million times/I've said I would/I couldn't do it/If I could/One million dreams/I share tonight/All for the taste/Of what is right.../One million hearts/Are hanging on/Nothing left to do/But carry on/One million times/I'll give it up/Before I make it/To the top/One million prayers/I have said/For every fear/And every dread/One million stories/I have read/Lying awake at night/In bed/One million heavens/One million hells/One million angels/Their souls they sell/One million boys/One million girls/One million dollars/One million worlds/One million bombs/That detonate/One million hearts/As they start to break/And every dream/And every life/And every husband/And every wife/This is it/I can feel it/It's the point/Of no return/One million faces/They hit the ground/One million smiles/Turn to frowns/One million poor/One million weak/One billion years/This losing streak/We've lost our minds/We're built to fight/We've lost our truth/We've lost our light/We're mortal slaves/To a higher man/We're all that's wrong/With this world at hand/Is there a heaven?/Is there a hell?/They've all got bombs/They're ringing bells/They sound alarms/To warn the people/Praying in church/They shake the steeple/One million days/One million weeks/One million eyes/One million speak/This Day of Silence/We stand up in faith/We fight the battles/We won't quit yet/Just let it burn/Just let it burn/Don't give it up/Live and learn
Beautiful Mistakes
There's a thin line between love and hate/Wide river between desire and fate/Narrow wire between the real and fake/Sine between intention and mistake/There's no difference in laughing and crying/There's no difference in living and dying/There's no difference in heaven and hell/Illuminate the darkness that I know so well/Find no joy in hearts that break/There's no love in this world of hate/There's no passion when the night grows late/There are only these beautiful mistakes.../That let me know I'm still alive.../They let me know I'm still alright.../There's a thin line between want and must/There's a thin line between love and lust...
Fairytale
Losing you would drive me insane/To never see your face again/Would be the greatest pain/Can't say I haven't tried/I know I could try harder/I listened to friends' advice/And not what my heart wants/They say that I shouldn't be with you/That I'm no good for you/Or that you will never love me.../That's what they think.../But every single thought is you/And all of my dreams are you/And I just cannot keep pretending/That I'll find love - in the ending/This is not a fairy tale/This is absolutely real.../You were the closest I've ever been/To happiness - to finding true love/I didn't expect it to end/I was up in outer space when I was with you/But I came crashing down to earth/Now I'm alone without you
Love Song
Rise from the wires/Looking through telescopic eyes/Freezing empire/This was it - to my surprise/Falling never was this easy/Falling never felt so right.../Lost in tomorrow/Passion's an abyss, so/I can't fight/Leaving my sorrowed/Life I led behind tonight/Falling never was this easy/Falling never felt so right.../And it's you.../I've always wanted something like this/I've always wanted a special kiss/I've only dreamed it would be this way/So many heart breaks forgotten today/I've always wanted happiness/I've always wanted this kind of bliss...
