Move on
I spent so many years
Writing songs about the past
I think I’ve finally turned a corner
I've, I’ve made it at last
For the first time in a long time
I’m looking around
What use is a city of gold
If only you see it that way
Or having all the right words on a piece of paper
But never knowing what to say?
God only gave us one choice of direction
So we might as well move on
All I know is we’ve gotta start somewhere
If we want our pain to be gone
For the first time in a long time
I’m looking around
For the first time in a long time
I’m looking around
It’s been so long since I’ve looked up
And seen the sun
It doesn’t matter what it’s shining on
‘Cause it makes me feel like someone
For the first time in a long time
I’m looking around
[It's been so long, it's been so long]
I spent years dredging up lost cities
Now it’s time to burn them to the ground
[It's been so long, it's been so long]
To the ground

Sometimes I think of myself
And who I’m wanting to be
Yeah, that’s a thought so tantalising
Hanging just beyond reach
There’s a storm in the way
It’s raining in my head so constantly
[It's raining]
and it breaks me down, it breaks me down again
There’s a storm in the way
It’s raining in my head so constantly
[It's raining]
and it breaks me down, it breaks me down again
I can’t make it stop
I can’t make it stop
Though not for lack of trying
I can’t make it stop
I can’t make it stop
One thing I’ve learned from tryin'
Is that I can't make it on my own
Looking back on myself
When this is all years behind me
Oh, that’s a thought so tantalising
And every day it’s closer to my reach
There’s a storm in the way
It’s raining in my head so constantly
[It's raining]
and it breaks me down, it breaks me down again
There’s a storm in the way
It’s raining in my head so constantly
[It's raining]
and it breaks me down, it breaks me down again
And I've come to find
That what I thought I had for so long
It was right infront, it was right in front of me
And I've come to find
That what I thought I had for so long
It was right infront, it was right in front of me
And I've come to find
That what I thought I had for so long
It was right infront, it was right in front of me
[Who I am is not enough
So I’ll run into your arms
Who I am is not enough
You exist in the deluge and the calm]
And I've come to find
That what I thought I had for so long
It was right infront, it was right in front of me
[Who I am is not enough
So I’ll run into your arms
Who I am is not enough
You exist in the deluge and the calm]

Help
I’ve been had
Misery has slithered in
Convinced me that it’s not all bad
How could I have prepared for
Something horrible and new
I feel so blind
When the plug’s pulled out
This world is a big place and it’s scary
Help me God
This is so horrible and new
This is so horrible and new
Unpredictable
It's unpredictable
Unpredictable, I am
If only it was as easy as holding your breath
And waiting for the storm to just blow over
If only it was as easy as closing your eyes
And pretending like you don’t need closure
When the plug’s pulled out
The world is such a scary place
When the plug’s pulled out
World is such a scary place
Scary
And whatever’s happening wants to
Blind me so I cannot see
Blind me so I cannot see
Go
Carry the weight
‘Cause I’m not that brave and the world is scary

Vultures
03:12

Hopeless arrows blacken the sky
As I close my eyes and steeple my hands
Spending your whole life pluggin' leaks is one thing
But what do you do when nothing goes as planned?
I know you’re out there, I know you see
You never fail, so is it me?
I know you’re out there, I know you see
You never fail, it must be me
The shadows lengthen, as the night, it creeps in
Heralded by birds of prey flying on the blackest wings
These vultures will hunt me down then rip me apart
And nobody will notice ‘cause it's all in my own head
I know you’re out there, I know you see
You never fail, so is it me?
I know you’re out there, I know you see
You never fail, it must be me
Frozen in place or sinking
I can’t tell what’s worse
Frozen in place or sinking
I can’t tell what’s worse
I know you’re out there, I know you see
You never fail, so is it me?
I know you’re out there, I know you see
You never fail, it must be me
Rip off their wings
And claw my way back to you
And every vulture ahead
I'll face with a heart that is brand new
I'll rip off their wings
And claw my way back to you
And every vulture ahead
I'll face with a heart that is brand new

Silver

Maybe we’ll both be broken
With only God to put all of our hope in
Screamed half to death and yelling at closed doors
Defeated by the endless wait for something more
I always thought it would be clearer than this
But the silver’s rusted in the rain
I’ve been underwater and cannot dismiss
Feeling that it stays the same
Or worse
Or worse
Or worse
Or worse
Forever worse
Or worse
Or worse
Or worse
Forever
God, you say that the door will be open
And I believe it, and I believe
God you know exactly how much I want this
And please say I need it too, because I swear
That I need it
Need you
Need you above all things
I need it, need you
Hide me beneath your wings
Oh
Hide me
Hide me
Oh
Maybe we’ll both be broken and wasting away
Maybe you’ll make us both brand new
Maybe we’ll both be broken and wasting away
Maybe you’ll make us both new

Everyone has their own baggage
But it’s so easy to forget when you’re draggin' yours
And I know I can’t justify saying that
“No one else has ever felt this way before”
I can’t remember normal perception
Or what the world is s'posed to feel like
Somebody told me once that normal is relative
When you’re scared to exist, it doesn’t sound right
It doesn’t sound right
When it feels like I’m wearing shoes of lead
In the darkest trench at the bottom of the sea
When it feels like all hope is failing
Remind me the deep cries out to the deep
To the deep
As deep cries out to deep
So let your love overwhelm
As deep cries out to deep
So let your love overwhelm me
This is a tempering phase that I didn’t ask for
And every day I’m struggling
And every day God I need you more
This is a tempering phase that I didn’t ask for
Every day I’m struggling
And every day I need you more
Than I ever have
Than I ever have
As deep cries out to deep
So let your love overwhelm
As deep cries out to deep
So let your love overwhelm me
