"If You Feel"

I want to fall asleep
To the sound of your voice
I want to wake up
To that beautiful noise
Like an alarm you're ringing in my head
Like an alarm you're ringing in my head

I want to sing to you
A song of grace
I want to see tears streaming
Down your face
Like a waterfall down to the ground
Like a waterfall down to the ground

If you feel, if you feel at all
Could you feel for me
Could you feel it all
If you feel, if you feel at all
Could you feel for me
Could you feel it all

I want to stand upon
A mountain top
Sing my life and lungs
Until they stop
Like an alarm I'm singing from the heart
Like an alarm I'm singing from the heart

If you feel, if you feel at all
Could you feel for me
Could you feel it all
If you feel, if you feel at all
Could you feel for me
Could you feel it all
Baby

I want to know, I want to go deeper
I want to run as the hill grows steeper
I want to drink from the fountain of youth
In your eyes, darling, your eyes

If you feel, if you feel at all
Could you feel for me
Could you feel it all
If you could fall, if you could fall
Could you fall to me
Could you fall

"Candles"

A flicker in the flame
And we're burning out again
Why would you turn away
To go back where you came

I believe that we
Could burn eternally

We are candles
We are candles in the night
We are candles
We could blow out, but instead
You give us light

Turning on our sides
To fall from greater heights
I don't want to fight
If your love won't ignite

I believe that we
Could burn eternally

We are candles
We are candles in the night
We are candles
We could blow out, but instead
You give us life

We are candles
We are candles
We are candles

"Shrapnel"

There are still pieces
Inside me
That divide me

There is still an intruder
In the lining
The numbers are climbing

Oh, this shrapnel in my heart
That's still tearing me apart
Can you remove it all
Will it ever all dissolve

There's always a little
Left behind, see
To remind me

Is there any hope that I can
Break free
Is there healing

Oh, this shrapnel in my heart
That's still tearing me a apart
Can you remove it all
Will it ever all dissolve

This thorn in my side
This gap in my soul
Remove what is broken
Return what is whole

Oh, this shrapnel in my heart
That's still tearing me apart
It feels endless, feels useless
Tell me when the healing starts
When the healing starts

"Alone"

Bread alone
Can't satisfy
This aching groan inside
Inside, inside

Breath alone
Can't give me life
It's ticking down my time
My time, in time

When you part the sea of clouds
Your heavenly light shine through
Fall all around me now
I need you
I need you

Left alone
To face the cold
Last were seen at night
We hide, we hide

And breath alone
Don't mean alive
You've gotta fight
To make it right

When you part the sea of clouds
Your heavenly light shine through
Fall all around me now
I need you
When your heart envelops mine
Forgetting all that I once knew
Fall all around me now
I need you
I need you

"Oblivious"

In your wake
A trail of broken hearts
But you're living the high life
No time to second guess
Cause you're on a one way
Straight track to the start
Of everything you learned in life
No more and no less

You won't confess
When you've done wrong
You're singing songs and dancing in the streets
Oblivious
Unaware
You don't care if you're others' defeat
And I won't lie
I won't comply
I've done it one too many times
And all you left
Was this emptiness

Well-composed
And well off
Wherever you drift
Something good enough
You'll latch onto
You'll fight to prove
Do anything just to feel it's truth
But just for you
Just for you
Just for you

You won't confess
When you've done wrong
You're singing songs and dancing in the streets
Oblivious
Unaware
You don't care if you're others' defeat
And I won't lie
I won't comply
I've done it one too many times
And all you left
Was this emptiness

The path you take is glamour, glitz and gold
The path you took without ever being told
You followed your heart, but in part you bought and sold
The path you left behind is tenfold

You won't confess
When you've done wrong
You're singing songs and dancing in the streets
Oblivious
Unaware
You don't care if you're others' defeat
You don't care cause you don't see

"Drawn"

How do I separate
These two things in my head
You said that they're separate
But I just don't see it yet

When I am drawn
To one
Not sure if it's over another
Replacing each other
I don't want
To choose
If it means losing the other
I'm losing my cover

And it's been so long
Since I've felt this strongly about anything
I try to carry on
Like I don't really care about anything
Feeling alive or feeling deprived
Why does it always feel that way
And is it ever gonna change

Why do you have to be
So far, so far away
Even when I'm next to you
You're at arm's length

And I'm drawn
To you
But I have to draw back
Just to leave it in tact
I don't want
To lose
I don't want to lose you

And it's been so long
Since I've felt this strongly about anything
I try to carry on
Like I don't really care about anything
Feeling alive or feeling deprived
Why does it always feel that way
And is it ever gonna change
