Secret Code
02:17
|

The pain I carry around
The pain I carry
Sinks me into the ground
Down into the ground
This secret code of worry
Of hurt and pain and worry
This secret code of worry
Won't leave me in a hurry
(I know what I know)

True North
02:58
|
|||
You don’t always get what you see
Sometimes the world moves and it will paralyze me
I used to walk all alone when I was strong
Now I’ve lost my way and I can’t get along
Sometimes I switch direction
I can’t find my True North
I can’t rid this vile infection
I feel empty in my bones
Be still my heart and be calm, my mind
Guide me down my path one step at a time
I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong
I’m a few breaths away from again being strong
Sometimes I switch direction
I can’t find my True North
I can’t rid this vile infection
I feel empty in my bones
I am strong,
I am strong
I am crying
I am strong
I am strong
Can you hear me?

Vagabond Soul
02:47
|

If the road goes black
I’m not turning back
You know that I’ve got the scrap to make up for all that I lack
I’m just forging on
And keeping strong
I know that I’ll end up on my feet and on dry land before too long
But why do you set me up to fail?
Throw your arms up and sigh out “oh, well”
What is not worth it to you?
You think you have more to lose than you do
What I am
I won’t change
Who I am
I am a deep dark well
and a vagabond soul
I’m not sorry I’m
not afraid to climb
Get knocked down, get dirty and get it all fucked up from time to time
What you expect of me
Is much less than I see
How it feels to feel this much is more of a compass guiding me
So why do you set me up to fail?
Throw your arms up and sigh out “oh well”
What is not worth it to you?
You think you have more to lose than you do
What I am
I won’t lose
Who I am
I am a deep dark well
and a vagabond soul

There You Were
04:15
|

When I saw you through the smoke and crowd
Your eyes pierced through me,
My thoughts were loud
Didn’t think I’d find you,
But there you were
I take my sleep in sips it seems
My head, it floods with tornado dreams
And I spin into centripetal you
Eu já senti tudo
o que se pode sentir
E para mim é estranho
me ver tão feliz
Chega a dar medo
toda essa paz
O tempo corre, se esvai de mim
Os dias fogem, eu não posso impedir
Chega a dar medo
toda essa paz
I first saw you in a vision of blue
A flash of feeling, you felt it too
Didn't think I'd find you,
But there you were
I hold on tight with these beliefs
Through sudden change and churning seas
And I give into immeasurable you
It all keeps motion even when time stops
You break light through all my darkest thoughts
Didn’t think I’d find you,
But there you were
They hold us high in their esteem
This whole life feels like a waking dream
They do not know where we started
Me and you
Você e eu

Your left wrist upon my wrist
I’m breathing life with every kiss
Bring me back my soul
I’m traveling again
By plane, by car, by bus, by train
And I would do it all again
For you, my love, the moon
And as you travel alone,
Know that I am with you
I’m with you
Know that I’m with you, my darling, always
Seu pulso esquerdo sobre o meu,
O meu destino junto ao seu
Eu me deixei levar
Tal sonho nunca me ocorreu,
Tal sorte nunca me escolheu
Eu me deixei levar
For you, my love, the moon
And as you travel alone,
Know that I am with you
I’m with you
Know that I’m with you, my darling, always
You know I’ve run I’ve run I’ve run a long way now
You know I’ve run I’ve run I’ve run a long way
You know I’ve run I’ve run I’ve run a long way now
Way, now
But I’ve found my home in you

If So
06:43

Will there come a day
when I’ll know love with no boundaries?
If so, how can it be?
If so, how can it be?
If so
Will there come a day
when we’ll exist beyond misery?
If so, when will it be?
If so, how soon will it be?
If so
Will there come a day
when words between us fade away?
If so, hold on my love
If so, hold strong my love
If so
Fill me with the light of day,
of love that is strong enough to stay
This heart of mine had died and was reborn
Will there come a day
when borders and laws won’t keep us apart?
I won’t give up on you,
My love, I won’t give up on you
My love
I’ll learn your language,
I’ll teach you mine
It’s just one small world,
it shouldn’t be divided
I won’t give up on you,
My love, I won’t give up on you
My love
Não existe outra forma de se explicar:
meu lar é uma pessoa, não é um lugar
Eu sou o que você fez de mim,
eu sou o que esse amor fez de mim
e eu vou vencer
Fill me with the light of day,
of love that is strong enough to stay
This heart of mine had died and was reborn
Will there come a day
when I’ll know love with no boundaries?
If so, how can it be?
If so, how can it be?
If so

Alone/Together
03:12

Refrain and begin
You froze
This life that you chose
No one knows
Knows
Be careful this way
Don’t repeat
The steps that you made
Down the street
That street
Far away we fly
Through tearful, long goodbyes
We stand alone together from separate coordinates
You’re the only one who knows my heart, honest
It all digs right through but I’ll see you soon
They can’t take away what we grew
It’s old and it’s new
But they never knew
Knew
There will come a day
We’ll leave behind
The pain in our chest
And tortured minds
Our minds
Far away we fly
Through tearful, long goodbyes
We stand alone together on different continents
You’re the only one who knows my heart, honest
It all tears right through but I’ll see you soon

Lighter Things
03:40
|
|||
When you were a child you would go play out on the street
I miss the days before we learned of where we shouldn’t be
They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”
Run and I will meet you where we’re not allowed to be
Come and I will show you all the truth they don’t want you to see
How do we know what to find?
How can I protect what is mine?
You listen and you follow
But please don’t forget our tomorrow
They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”
Where to go?
Do you need a hero?
Where to go?
Do we need a hero?
Where to go?
Oh, what do we know?
They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”
Run and I will meet you where we’re not allowed to be
Come and I will show you all the truth they don’t want you to see
How do we know what to find?
How can I protect what is mine?
On a whisper
Or a feather
But grown-ups don’t always know better
They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”
Where to go?
Do you need a hero?
Where to go?
Do we need a hero?
Where to go?
Oh, what do we know?
They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”

Hades

Pack up all your tangled past and let’s go
down that road we’ve traveled ninety times before
Will you turn back?
Will we look back?
Will we turn back?
Will you look back?
Just want to keep you safe
and keep you well
Little girl
The tides that swell
Will you turn back?
Will we look back?
Will we turn back?
Mortal men are we
But this, we’re better than:
Hell, Earth and Heaven
In your eyes I see
Infinite possibilities
What strikes in you will sound in me
Safe across the Styx we’ll be
Look ahead
Straight ahead
Better than
Better than
Follow me from this life down into the end
How much time did we waste trying to pretend
That you’d turn back?
That we’d look back?
That we’d turn back?
Mortal men are we
But this, we’re better than:
Hell, Earth and Heaven
In your eyes I see
Sweeter than Euridice
This end begets eternity
Safe across the Styx we’ll be
Look ahead
Straight ahead
Better than
Better than

Sleep
04:16
|

You say “Shhh, just go to sleep”
You don’t recognize the pain in me
“It will all feel better once you close your eyes”
You don’t stop to think that this could be the last time
“You’ll feel better in the morning,
You’ll feel better when the sun rolls over those Hollywood Hills
You’ll feel better if you could just let it be”
But this world tends to drain me
I am alone now, head in my hands
It’s a blow to the ego
A shot to the heart
A knife to the stomach
Don’t forget where we started
Cause I don’t want to watch it end
I learned how to break and forgot how to bend
You say, “Shhh, this all will mend
Look around, I’m here, I’m still your best friend
This will all feel better once we find ourselves”
I wish I could describe what I try to hide, it’s a painful spell
“You’ll feel better in the morning
You’ll feel better after you get a day out of LA
You’ll feel better once you drink some tea”
Yeah, sleep used to visit me
But I’m alone now, head in my hands
It’s a blow to the ego
A shot to the heart
A knife to the stomach
Don’t forget where we started
Cause I don’t want to watch it end
I learned how to break and forgot how to bend
Oh, these were sacred places
Our ghosts warm the open spaces and behind broken doors
Oh, the miles now accumulate and change will percolate
But the current moves forward always
I say “Shhh, it’s okay to sleep
You’re an angel girl, you’ve got all you need
It’s hard when no one’s there to hold your hand
But don’t believe the lie that you cannot fly without a solid plan
You’ll feel better in the morning
You’ll feel better sensing the strength that flows through this city’s veins
You’ll feel better once you know you’re already free
This pain won’t get the best of me”
When it all ends, it’s time to begin
