SMOKERS OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL DOORS
Pull the blindfold down
So your eyes can't see
Now run as fast as you can
Through this field of trees
Say goodbye to everyone you have ever known
You are not gonna see them ever again
I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands
Have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors
Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
How can we wear our smiles
With our mouths wired shut
'Cause you stopped us from singing
I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands
Have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors
Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?
We've all been changed from what we were
Our broken hearts left smashed on the floor
I can't believe you if I can't hear you
I can't believe you if I can't hear you
We've all been changed from what we were
Our broken hearts smashed on the floor
We've all been changed from what we were
Our broken hearts smashed on the floor
Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?

AN END HAS A START
I don't think that it's
Gonna rain again today,
There's a devil at your side,
But an angel on the way
Someone hit the light,
Cause there's more here to be seen,
When you caught my eye,
I saw everywhere I'd been
And WANT TO GO to...
You came on your own,
And that's how you'll leave,
With hope in your hands,
And air to breathe,
I won't disappoint you,
As you fall apart,
Some things should be simple,
Even an end has a start,
Someone hit the light,
Cause there's more here to be seen,
When you caught my eye,
I saw everywhere I'd been
And WANT TO GO to...
You came on your own,
And that's how you'll leave,
With hope in your hands,
And air to breathe,
You'll lose everything,
But in the end,
Still my broken limbs,
Will find time to mend
More and more people I
Know are getting ill
(Put something good on the,
Ashes now be still)
You came on your own,
That's how you'll leave,
With hope in your hands,
And air to breathe,
You'll lose everything,
But in the end,
Still my broken limbs,
Will find time to mend
You came on your own,
That's how you'll leave, x2
You came on your own x2

THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
Keep a light on those you love,
They will be there when you die,
Baby there's no need to fear,
Baby there's no need to cry,
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will it mean something to someone
You've fused my broken bones,
Back together and then,
Lift the weight of the world,
From my shoulders again,
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
It will mean something to someone
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone
You touch my face
God whispers in my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear
Touch my face
God whispers in my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear
Fear
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will mean something to someone
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone

BONES
How come you're always late for your arrival?
You know I forgive you every single time
Retreat, retreat I've fallen at the low tide
Retreat, retreat meet me by the quayside
In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through
Are your eyes showing off for mine?
Your face in my hands is everything that I need
A system's put in place
Put there to protect us
For you I throw a life line every time
Retreat, retreat I've fallen at the low tide
Retreat, retreat meet me by the quayside
In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through
Are your eyes showing off for mine?
Your face in my hands is everything I need
Bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching heart
Full of love
Bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching heart
Full of love
Bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching heart
Bones
Bones
I watch as your eyes show off for mine
I watch as your eyes show off
I watch as your eyes show off for mine
I watch as your eyes show off

WHEN ANGER SHOWS
It creeps all over you like a dull ache
Think of all the things your hands could make
It pulls you to the ground like soaking wet gloves
The change in your face when anger shows
In that moment you realise
That something you thought would always be there will die
Like everything else
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok
You are a sleeping lion in your bed
I will not wake you
You're the moment
Love has passed
We all must learn to hate you
You're a memory from before
Please don't let me forget you
You're the wolves at my door
In that moment you realise
That something you thought would always be there will die
Like everything else
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know what things are worth
If your hands wont move to do a days work?
How can you know...
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok
These thoughts I must not think of
Dreams I cant make sense of
I need you to tell me its ok

THE RACING RATS
When the time comes
You're no longer there
Fall down to my knees
Begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep them all in
I keep up with the racing rats
And do my best to win
Slow down little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play
Standing at the edge of your town
With the skyline in your eyes
Reaching up to God
The sun says its goodbyes
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth
I push my hands up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly night time has begun
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth
Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We'll live different lives
Until our cover's blown
I push my hands up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly night time has begun
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth, the surface of the earth
Come on now
You knew you were lost
But you carried on anyway
Come on now
You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it make
In the surface of the earth, the surface of the earth, the surface of the earth

PUSH YOUR HEAD TOWARDS THE AIR
If I lay face
down on the ground,
would you walk all over me?
Have we learn't
What we set out to learn?
well then love we will see.
Now dont drown in your tears, babe
Push your head towards the air.
Now dont drown in your tears, babe
I will always be there.
When you fall and you,
Can't find your way,
Push a hand up to the sky.
I will run just to,
To be by your side,
Dont you ever bat an eye.
Now dont drown in your tears, babe
Push your head towards the air.
Now don't drown in your tears, babe
I will always be there
"But I will tear the price from your head,
And keep you from harm" thats what you said.
Theres people climbing out of their cars
Lining the roadside,
Try to glimpse at the dead.
Now dont drown in your tears, babe
Push your head towards the air.
Now dont drown in your tears, babe
I will always be there.

ESCAPE THE NEST
Buildings in clouds here
Our time and our place dear
Theres life in us yet love
These walls we will climb above
We really our ants now
Escape the nest somehow
I ache for a feeling
You came and you poured it in, it in.
Buildings in clouds here
Our time and our place dear
Theres life in us yet love
These walls we will climb above, above.
Look up
Through the trees to feel as small as you can,
You hear the clocks counting down,
The nights are longer now than ever before,
But now you see the lights from the town.
Im drained and im empty
Ive still got love in me
Theres eyes in the sky tonight
Watching us lose the fight
We really are ants now
Escape the nest somehow
I ache for a feeling
You came and you poured it in, it in.
Look up
Through the trees to feel as small as you can,
You hear the clocks counting down,
The nights are longer now than ever before,
But now you see the lights from the town.

SPIDERS
Theres spiders in your room
But there always will be
There's people to be fooled
And there always has been
Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand
Or we'll carry you
Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand
Come back to me
Come back to me
With your back to the wall
You've got one place to fall
Sometimes its all better (on your own?)
Every little piece pulls
In its own direction
Please love dont be scared
It's just your own reflection
Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand
Or we'll carry you
Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand
Come back to me
Come back to me
With your back to the wall
You've got one place to fall
Sometimes its all better (on your own?)

WELL WORN HAND
Wake up my love
Today I heard some bad news
Just what are we all supposed to do?
I won't let them get to you
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
I cant face the night like I used to before
Take my well worn hand
Let's lock ourselves away
We'll never, ever step outside
We'll curl up in a ball and hide
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
I cant face the night like I used to before
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
I cant face the night like I used to before
I'm so sorry for the things that they've done
I'm so sorry about what we've all become
