Diggin' a hole
Under the hill and far below
To bury my love
The heavens above will never know
Well everyone lives with a secret
The trick is to never repeat it
No
As long as the heart keeps on beating
As long as the desert garden grows
Never forever
Well I'm diggin' a hole
Under the hill and far below
To bury my love
The heavens above may never know
I'm diggin' a hole
Diggin' it deep where no one goes
And every night
She'll lie in the light of the shadows
So what if the skeleton's breathing
The closet is full from the years before
As long as the clock keeps on ticking
As long as the time may wait no more
We'll be together
Now I'm digging a hole
Under the hill and far below
To bury my love
The heavens above may never know
I'm diggin' a hole
Diggin' it deep where no one goes
And every night
She'll lie in the light of the shadows
Arms holding you tight
They never hurry
They never worry
Oh maybe tonight
We can be married
We can be carried away
We'll be alright
We'll never hurry
We'll never worry...
...'Cuz I'm diggin a hole
Under the hill and far below
To bury my love
The heavens above may never know
I'm diggin' a hole
Diggin' it deep where no one goes
And every night
We'll lie in the light of the shadows
Oh I'm diggin' a hole
Under the hill and far below
To bury my love
The heavens above will never know
What is there to say with broken words
Talking out of turn to be unheard
The lies that compromise the truth untold
In the language of the lost we'll never know
What is there to gain from damage done
Rue the day until it's overcome
The less you bend the more you need to break
In the valley of the gone we lie awake
I'm still floating away
But I can't see what's behind me
I'm still floating away
But I can't free what's inside me
What is there to lose from no control
Won't you guide me down the rabbit hole
Where nothing real is ever as it seems
In the place where we all chase the fantasy
I'm still floating away
But I can't see what's behind me
I'm still floating away
But I can't free what's inside me
I'm still floating away
But I can't be what's beyond me
Disaffected and reckless
Underwhelmed by past good intensions
Weightless
In need of some indiscretion
Blue euphoria bound
Unconnected at last
One more drink to see more clearly
What goes around
One last kiss for the afflicted
As they stumble into town
On the road to ruin
I found you
Terrified of facing the faceless unknown
Between the pulse and the impulse
Life becomes unbound in the midnight wasteland
One more drink to see more clearly
What comes around
One last kiss for the afflicted
As we fumble to the dawn
One more drink to see more clearly
What goes 'round
One last kiss for the afflicted
As we stumble off and on
Wherever you go I wanna be
Whatever you caged, I wanna set it free
Build a fire against the cold
That will never fade away, it won't grow old
Wherever you hurt I wanna heal
Whatever you want I want to make it real
Shine a light on the unknown
Give you everything you need to not be alone
You remind me of a place I know
You remind me of a place I know
Whatever the cost you had to pay
Wherever the darkness led your steps astray
Time and fate we can't control
But what doesn't keep us still will make us grow
Whatever the path that brought you here
Forgive all the pain that taught your heart to fear
There's nothing you can't let go
Because nothing in this world is set in stone
You remind me of a place I know
You remind me of a place I know
Come closer, oh listen
I'll tell you no more than a lie
Crack open
Don't hide inside
All the rules will melt away
All who follow fall astray
Gazing back into the eyes of blindness
Every truth we can't abide
Every hope we left behind
Oh
More than we know
Fall further from greater heights
Swim slow through quicksands of twilight
Sleep under the starless night
All the rules will melt away
All who follow fall astray
Gazing back into the eyes of blindness
Every truth we can't abide
Every hope we left behind
There's a part we set aside
Deny
All the rules will melt away
All who follow fall astray
There's a place we try to hide
Deny
Every truth we can't abide
Every hope we left behind
There's a part we set aside
More than a lie
Unravelled
Hide your voice among the crowd
Inside the comfort of the drone that drowns it out
You fix your gaze upon the sun
And if you lose yourself you're not the only one
And it's hard to believe
There's a storm happening
Spilling over
Over
And it's hard to move on
When your strings come undone
When you are none
Now the hangman turns around
To fix his gaze upon the trail that leads back home
A crooked path to walk upon
And if you run away you're not the only one
But it's hard to believe
There's a storm happening
Spilling over
Over
And it's hard to move on
When your strings come undone
When you are none
No one
And when the circus travels on
And when the way back home is hidden from the sun
You will find what you've become
You will find yourself apart from everyone
And it's hard to believe
There's a storm happening
Spilling over
Over
And it's hard to move on
When your strings come undone
When you are none
No one
No one
No one
Over
Undone
Oh I've been stranded for days
Since I abandoned my faith and lost my way
Now that the seasons have changed
I have awakened to find a world so strange
And a stranger in my place
Still holding on
Through every slow setting sun
I hope you know
I never meant to do you wrong
Still waters beckon again
Calm as I plan my escape through rolling waves
Tired as I wander away
Turning my back on the one who kept me safe
Suddenly yesterday
Still holding on
Through every slow setting sun
I hope you know
I never meant to do you wrong
Oh
What have we left?
Lost our innocence
Held our last breath
Felt the weight that carried us
Into the slow setting sun
See the illusion revered
Screens and lights
Shutting off
Turning on
Fade to white
Blending in
With the real
Find your place in the great pantomime
Reignite
In the light
Come alive
Deny the delusion of fear
Blur the line
Fade it out
Make it clear
Black on white
Juxtaposed
In the mind
Show your face to the close camera
Reignite
In the light
Come alive
All the joy and sorrow in the world
Collides in waves, begins and disappears
Somewhere there's a reason
Or there ought to be
But nothing here will remain
All the dreams and doubts
Are they leaving me for somebody else
All I know
Won't weigh me down
I'm letting go
All I love
Won't hold me now
I'm letting go
Any day an answer will appear
A melody will find another song
Another year will find another memory
Another life carries on
Old familiar sound
Of an unfamiliar world goin' 'round
All I know
Won't weigh me down
I'm letting go
All I love
All I am now
I'm letting go
Aurora
Still waving in my mind
Aurora
Still living in your light
Aurora
We used to burn so bright
There's a shadow watching over me
The open sky is listening
There's a light that hides behind a dream
The setting sun is beckoning
All that was and what is yet to be
Let it go
