Island 05:40
The ground will open up Walk inside it The beauty filled me up You can’t deny it We drive the open road like we own it Oh, we’re on the run Oh, what we’ve become Where the cold wind blows There’s some thing in the light upon the snow There’s beauty in the way that midnight glows Another universe you’ve always known I’m suddenly aware we’re all alone So far away but it feels like home Where the cold wind blows We walk the narrow streets In the half light We sway to broken beats breaking midnight We drive the open road Hold the wheel tight Oh, we’re on the run Oh, what we’ve become I can feel it in my soul In the infancy of all There is room to breathe in all this light We can see the birth of time As the continents collide And it shakes the ground of the only life I’ve known We’re on the run What we’ve become
2.
When you can’t reach the goal And it buries your soul Maybe it’s time to rethink this life once again When you can’t see the light And you’ve lost all your fight Then maybe it’s time to get in that fight once again Hope is the hardest to hold when everything’s cold dear Hope is the hardest to hold, it fucks with your soul dea When you feel so tired so old hope is the hardest to hold When you’ve lost all you had When the drink makes you sad Maybe it’s time to subtitute whiskey for gin When you see that she’s gone When you know you’ve done wrong Maybe it’s time to find a new love you can win You’re not alone so hang on to hope my dear

Always 03:17
Always I'll be with you always Even on those dark days The world runs out of time Always Please be with me always Even on those dark days When I might lose my mind And we'll fall in, jump in the fire 'Cause I'm all in for all that you desire And even if the sun would never shine again Even if we lose and never win I'm always in These days My edges have become frayed Like records in the sun's rays Unplayable and unkind So always Please be with me always Especially on dark days When I might lose my mind
4.
You can’t say a thing, they won’t let you speak Only offer a smile or the curtain gets weak And you can’t say a word to the family back home Better pull back that stick because you’re coming in low And oh, you’ll fly Through a clear and endless sky But all you’ll find is a cold and lonely life The cold and lonely lives of blackbird spies You can’t see a thing in the valley below Not a soul on the ground, not a footprint in snow There’s a radio call bring your baby back home Give a wave with the wings as you’re coming in low You’re so high there’s just sky to see A thin blue line of fantasy Down below we hold you in our dreams You’re so high there’s no time to fear In a thin blue line of atmosphere Down below we hold you in our dreams Though a vapor trail is all we’ll ever see And oh, you’ll fly Through a clear and endless sky But all you’ll find is a cold and lonely life The cold and lonely lives of blackbird spies

The Way Back 04:09
Even when I’m loud you don’t hear my shout Even one-way streets give you one way out On the way back down Give your old man a wave When you get back down Will we have something to save Hope you find new love on the way back down Hope you can rise above but keep your feet on the ground The world is rushing up to meet you On your way back down When I’m not so loud when I’m full of doubt I will shut this down I will shut you out On the way back down I hope your head will deflate If you don’t back down I’ll run, I won’t hesitate no no Hope you find new love on the way back down Hope you can rise above but keep your feet on the ground The world is rushing up beneath you On your way back down Even one-way streets give you one way out

Ventolin 03:15
I'm looking up at everything How did I get so small When did descent begin I use to have it all And where are you now And where are you How would it be if you were here Ventolin Would things have changed if you were here Ventolin I'm going back Could you follow I'm going back 'Cause I'm hollow And I'm looking down on frozen ground A thousand miles from here The angels came and killed the sound While crushing the top tier And where are you now And where are you How would it be if you were here Ventolin Would things have changed if you were here Ventolin I'm going back Could you follow I'm going back 'Cause I'm hollow Ventolin You killed me too

Down 03:45
Things change over and over again Things change over and over again I’ve been here right by your side ‘til the end I’ve been here right by your side ‘til the end Let’s break this down again Let’s break it down Let go, embrace the beginning again You know something will work in the end With all those years lost in the loss of a friend Just dry those tears all young man’s games must end Let’s break this again Let’s break it down You’re down on all the things you’ve got You’re down on all the things you’re not You’re down despite the love you’ve got, you’re down You’re down, you’re up, you’re ‘round and ‘round You’re down to leave this hollow town You’re down despite the love you’ve found, you’re down

Lost Boys 03:46
I have no use for the past No use for this now I once had the thought this would last But I lost it somehow You told me I’d always be king But I misplaced the crown I once had the thought that we would last But I lost it somehow The silence is deafening tonight Here on my own Desires you thought would take flight Just sink like they’re stones Did you think that you’d always be a king? You sad bag of bones When you find that you’ve lost all your fight You sink like a stone When you find that you can’t fight the tide You sink like a stone I have no use for the past No use for this now I once had the thought this would last But I lost it somehow You told me I’d always be a king But don’t need a crown I once had the thought I was lost But I lost it somehow
