Just because of a broken heart, oh, you cannot fight and cannot forgive?
Is it because of a broken heart that you cannot fight and cannot forgive? Me,
I tried to swallow all I possibly could
To look away from a nation brimming with soot
My stomach churning as I swallow everything up
Here and now, but
Here and now, but
I've been waiting for a new solution
To find my way and never to return,
Yeah I've been waiting for this new solution,
I'll find my way, ah, never to return.
Ignorance is not the right way, not to follow doesn't make it ok
Ignorance is not the right way, not to follow doesn't make it ok, see?
If you accept it, you become part of the regime,
An unwilling soldier taking orders silently
But my resistance is destroying my integrity
Here and now, but
Here and now, but
I've been waiting for a new solution
To find my way and never to return,
Yeah I've been waiting for this new solution,
I'll find my way, ah, never to return.
See,
My resistance is destroying my integrity
Here and now, but
Here and now, but
I've been waiting for a new solution
To find my way and never to return,
Yeah I've been waiting for this new solution,
I'll find my way, ah, never to return.

Insistent Echo

Rain falls heavy and turns the road to sheets of broken glass
But our headlight’s strong, and inside the car we’re comfortable and dry
Curled up there beside me, your sweet dreams signify
Your trust in me is absolute to navigate the night
Sleep well child
I promise you, you’re safe tonight
Lay back your head
Don’t worry ‘bout the road ahead
I promise this to you
My hands on the steering wheel
My eyes on the road I peel
I’ll carry you, carry you
I’ll shelter you, shelter you
Confident, but not too fast
We will, together, ever last
I’ll carry you, carry you
I’ll shelter you, shelter you
The road is long, and where it leads, we’ve never traveled yet
And on the way there’s guaranteed to be some rough patches
But sleep well child
I promise you, you’re safe tonight
Lay back your head
Don’t worry ‘bout the road ahead
No harm will come to you
An uncertain path into the fray
But together we will find our way
I’ll carry you, carry you
I’ll shelter you, shelter you…
My whole body, my whole soul
Sings this insistent echo
To carry you, carry you
To shelter you, shelter you
When morning comes and we arrive
You’ll wake into the light
With head high you’ll step forward
And once again you’ll make me proud

Wounded But Alive
03:27

I come to you with flowers and I
Sing into your ear
I sing up at your window so that
Everyone can hear me
But I can’t get your attention, and
I can’t get your love,
I couldn’t get it so far, girl,
But I’m tryin’ hard
I can’t help it, without you I’m
Wounded but alive,
Instead why don’t you take away my life?
The feeling that I get from you is
A knife run very deep,
Instead why don’t you kill me in my sleep?
We used to be good friends, you know,
We used to be in love, girl
But you think that it’s ‘over’
And that I should simply disappear,
But I won’t give up tryin’, that’s
The only single way,
The one single way that I can
Possibly prevail
‘Cause I can’t help it, without you I’m
Wounded but alive,
Instead why don’t you take away my life?
The feeling that I get from you is
A knife run very deep,
Instead why don’t you kill me in my sleep?

A Little Affirmation
01:54

It’s just a little affirmation
That I’m waiting from you
Just a little sign that you could be mine
And so I should carry through
What kind of picturesque manifestation are you
Of the dreams that I have nurtured inside,
Thinking I was a fool?
For my dreams felt so unrealistic,
Too perfect to exist,
But the moment that I sighted you
I knew that you’re the one I’ve missed
So look at yourself in me,
See how perfect you are?
A little sign will be just fine,
And I’ll make you my shining star
Oh my dreams felt so unrealistic,
Too perfect to exist,
But the moment that I sighted you
I knew that you’re the one I’ve missed
So a little information
Is what I’m waiting from you
Just a little sign that you could be mine and so
I should carry through
So look at yourself in me, see how
Perfect you are?
A little sign will be just fine, and I’ll
Make you my shining star
