Scars 04:19
There's a man outside with a gun And he's aiming straight at me Locked in his sights Life isn't mine It's real He's gonna do it anyway His mind is made up Don't get in his way I can feel it running down my skin Let's leave before they get to me Let's leave before they get to me Evil streak has hit me It hurts when you don't recognise me You only judge the scars you can see Nowhere else for me to run Wherever we go They're on to me Life in the hands of someone Who cannot feel Maybe he's here to help me Show me whats left when i was right Will it change in anything For me Let's leave before they get to me Let's leave before they get to me Evil streak has hit me It hurts when you don't recognise me You only judge the scars you can see You only judge the scars you can see You only judge the scars you can see You only judge the scars you can see You only judge the scars you can see You only judge the scars you can see You can see You can see You can see You can see You can see You can see You can see

Lost in your darkest moments Know that you have my heart No reasoning for such a leap When it would tear a little world apart Stop the tapes of doubt replaying again And focus on my words Of all the people who you'd crush at once And the music you used to love And the music you used to love If only you could feel this Right from the very start You wouldn't be anywhere near this place You'd be a strobe light in the dark Why can't you see the room light up When you start to sing your songs The one about the argument When everyone is wrong Even we are wrong Now it's time for us to make a change Out of a selfish phase I can't keep it in anymore When everyone is wrong Everyone is wrong Everyone is wrong Everyone is wrong Everyone is wrong Even we are wrong Even we are wrong Even we are wrong Even we are wrong Even we are wrong

You only need to see the things to make them part of you To cast them out among the waves Where the clouds meet blue When I'm thinking clearly The choices seem so obvious to me The wrongs become right Stars come out for us to see Can you see the light The rockface changes The moonlight says goodbye Sound of crashing drowning out All the screams of passers by The swirl of excitement Ends all the silence as we go down I can see the lantern Never faulters as we go down It's over now Can you see the light Can you see the light Can you see the light Can you see the light Can you see the light

Dream 03:47
Dream I wake up screaming When I leave at times My mind starts leaping On the ones who said they'll never be us Because they don't want to free us We're alone when you're at home Dream Fire starts to rise up the wall The ashes of our time Freedom of it all You can't be real it's the truth we seek Hanging to life We're alone when you're at home We're alone when you're at home
