Goldmine

get up and go
can you feel that force that branches out
through fields of false alarm I see right through it all
learn to embrace it, that imbalance of power
that lifts you to the edge of the farthest star
there's a vision of hope you can't deny
keeps calling you out to remind
a vision of hope right at your side
keeps calling you out to a goldmine
stand up and run
start breathing the hard way
little should your burning do to stop the chase
don't give up the fight, your armor will come of age
no matter what it takes your dream will find it’s place
there's a vision of hope you can't deny
keeps calling you out to remind
a vision of hope right at your side
keeps calling you out to a goldmine

Beautiful Surprise

there was nothing left but a puzzle to arrange
had one wish to fall back on and a rocky past to outdo
then you - you came through
my beautiful surprise
you - you came through
like a beautiful surprise
burnt out, couldn't restore
a broken tug of war
was just another lonely heart
who lost the blueprintof my deepest desires
then you - you came through
my beautiful surprise
you - you came through
like a beautiful surprise

Fire

you dear see what no one sees
what's creeping up from underneath
hunger fueled emergencies
emergencies
why are we always on fire
the devil, he's loose
but you're the king
branching out and over the scene
so close to giving up everything
everything
why are we always on fire

Half Gone
03:21

always knew where to go - how to save the right things
always thought you were home - had your chance to rearrange
spread the word on the street - made them crash and do crazy things
thought we could throw all fears in a box - light it up and look away
this love is rare, this love is wild
must be half gone to feel so strong
don't you ever quit taking hold of your violence
you've unraveled and you have another chance
living with ghosts - it's high time to give in
one less crime and you'd still be innocent
this love is rare, this love is wild
must be half gone to feel so strong
crowded system, crowded mind
i’m not about to buy us any time
this love is rare, this love is wild
must be half gone to feel so strong

Floodgates

make it last - make it last
turn this sight to stone
this love - though wrong
leaves thee better off
if i could go back - i'd go back
to the final dawn
was a rugged time till you
opened the floodgates
years have passed - years they pass
but i still feel the same
about you - no shame
tho i'm lost in unworthy obsessions
and you're insane and full of poison
we'll come back
come back and open the floodgates

Undercover
03:38
|

sneaking through the back door
the odds look better now
after moving from the top to the bottom of
secret places
still afraid of the dark where silence is the safest sound
i'm holding you accountable for everything that i do
i'm holding you accountable
never want to be found
stay hidden where it counts
you're my favorite silhouette
undercover
we're shoulder to shoulder
not worlds apart
took a while to see it was trouble from the start
not getting what we want
but our hearts cannot be moved
i'm holding you accountable for everything that i do
i'm holding you accountable
never want to be found
stay hidden where it counts
you're my favorite silhouette
undercover

Want It All
03:28

i don't want to hurt you
but there's no place to hide
i don't want to hurt you
but you're not cut out for the other side
so grow to survive underneath the dusty skies
make room for the tide
you say you want it all
you say you want it all
you go out looking for a savior who won't leave you in the dark
with all these fleeting moments you keep winding me in
universal laws - desires and steady wins
i already see what the future brings
there are bridges to cross to bigger things
you'll find your wings
you say you want it all
you say you want it all
you go out looking for a savior who won't
leave you in the dark

Dangerous

it’s magic
you know the trick
i’m at the root of the troubles that you cling to
take all the ashes
keep hold of your limbs
take all of your potions and drink them down
is it really so good
is it really so good to keep looking out for me
you say I’m all you need to stay dangerous
it’s hide and seek
curiosity
your echo takes on a new shape
look left, look right
while your wings are wide
i still love your face, though it has many sides
is it really so good
is it really so good to keep looking out for me
you say I’m all you need to stay dangerous
can’t fool the camera's eye
i've already tried
to cut through this sinful maze i’ve come to idolize
now i’m gone – now i’m tied
fooled by my own device
can’t cut through this sinful maze i’ve come to idolize
is it really so good
is it really so good to keep looking out for me
you say I’m all you need to stay dangerous

Cooling

give him a reason to step down
he’s on the verge of judging right
give him a reason to read through the lines
when like clockwork those holy rollers
gather round and blaze in tight
he’s cooling in the right ways
starting to lean into the haze
give him a method to slow down
when his engine isn't even close to burning out
give him the will to keep his poisons on the low
he only wants to dive in deep with able hands
wrap those arms round the thrills he's had
he's cooling in the right ways
starting to lean into the haze
he was only wounded for a half a mile
now he's fighting to keep his inner child
wanting to die to be reborn
he knows that hard times are still in store
he was only wounded for half a mile
he swears

Both Sides
03:28

saw a space to grow into
contagious – i was humming your tune
tried to stay hooked on what is safe but you took me away
it was in the way you held your chains
how you led me from the shade
back to the roots from which you came
you stole me away
blinded from both sides
many times i’ll chase the night
moved by your darkness
i’m tangled in rhythms i’ve danced in before
lifeline abandoned for the last time
the world will never change it’s course
take power out of your strong hands
you breathe in perfection in ways i want to understand
blinded from both sides
many times i’ll chase the night
moved by your darkness
