With the black you see the bright
Cracked but you still fight
Burnt, you still ignite
Broken heart you'll be all right
With the dark you bring the light
Alone but you still try
Lost but you still shine
Broken heart you'll be all right
With the rage you feel the calm
Free but you still run
Stone cold, you're still warm
Broken heart, you will find home
At sea you are the storm
Wild but you're so strong
Falling you still hold on
Broken heart you will find home
With the smoke you see so clear
Scared, you still fight fear
Frozen but you still feel
Broken heart you will still heal
In the dream you're something real
Soft but made of steel
Can fly but you're still here
Broken heart you will still heal

Look Alive
One step on a falling stone
One fall so far away from home
One word...you're all alone
Look alive, you're on your own
Break the fight, you're set alight
Flying higher with each fall
Dead of night, you take flight
On fire as you soar
Crash landing still standing
Heart on the floor
Gunshots tied in knots
One two three four
Fire burning still learning
How to close that door
One fall so far away from home
One word...you're all alone
Look alive, you're on your own
Break the fight, you're set alight
Flying higher with each fall
Dead of night, you take flight
On fire as you soar
Crash landing still standing
Heart on the floor
Gunshots tied in knots
One two three four
Fire burning still learning
How to close that door

Blue Screen
An empty blue screen and white noise
There's no scene and it's my choice
A dark room and a cold wind
I was doomed from the beginning
Rewind and replay black and white
Same choice same day same old fight
A closed door and a blue heart
I was lost before the start
Third take hope there's colour
Smile's fake but who bothers
Three steps and another wall
I was down before the fall
High definition and no sound
Small steps still gaining ground
Darkness never been so clear
I froze before the fear
Broken colours you can hear
Real bright you can't come near
Always alone always unknown
I was lost before I found home

Safehouse
Forever and a day ago I thought that I knew me
But I was stuck I didn't know
That I was far from free
In a prison made by me
With walls to guard my heart
I made a castle laced with steel and tore myself apart
The towers turned to rubble coarse and every wall to dust
Steel melted and pipes burst
Gates succumbed to rust
Ashes still for days on end
A new castle tried to rise
But without the will, foundations bend and each attempt dies
I can't rebuild, I can't go back
Can't retrace my tracks
Broken pieces melted, darkness coal black
The guards can't keep me safe
I'm stronger on my own
Don't need gates, masked face
Melted steel in my bones
The castle's now inside of me and I will be okay
I'm finally close to being free
I grow stronger every day
I can protect me and I'm not a prison
I am my own safehouse
The sun has but newly arisen and I can find my way out
But I was stuck I didn't know
That I was far from free
In a prison made by me
With walls to guard my heart
I made a castle laced with steel and tore myself apart
The towers turned to rubble coarse and every wall to dust
Steel melted and pipes burst
Gates succumbed to rust
Ashes still for days on end
A new castle tried to rise
But without the will, foundations bend and each attempt dies
I can't rebuild, I can't go back
Can't retrace my tracks
Broken pieces melted, darkness coal black
The guards can't keep me safe
I'm stronger on my own
Don't need gates, masked face
Melted steel in my bones
The castle's now inside of me and I will be okay
I'm finally close to being free
I grow stronger every day
I can protect me and I'm not a prison
I am my own safehouse
The sun has but newly arisen and I can find my way out

Every Day is Rain
Red lights and closed eyes
Forced smiles and small words
Crawling for a thousand miles
Struggling through the storm
In the middle of a devastating war
But the enemy can't be seen
Peace and resolution seem so far
Just can't break free
Some prisons you never leave
Trapped in an endless dark
Every day you'll always grieve
Every tear will leave a mark
Every breath hurts like hell
And every thought is pain
Every sound a tolling bell
And every day is rain
Everything is falling apart
Drowning in rain and fire
When you think it's the end it's just the start
And the waves keep rising higher
Forced smiles and small words
Crawling for a thousand miles
Struggling through the storm
In the middle of a devastating war
But the enemy can't be seen
Peace and resolution seem so far
Just can't break free
Some prisons you never leave
Trapped in an endless dark
Every day you'll always grieve
Every tear will leave a mark
Every breath hurts like hell
And every thought is pain
Every sound a tolling bell
And every day is rain
Everything is falling apart
Drowning in rain and fire
When you think it's the end it's just the start
And the waves keep rising higher

Shards of Glass
Open eyes but there's no light
A deep breath but it's not air
Short days and endless nights
So many people but one not there
Memories steal every thought
Pain fires every breath
So many battles fought
And so many deaths
Every breath is a rattling gasp
Each word a war
Every tear a shard of glass
Each smile a door
Be strong and stay alive
As iron walls rust to the ground
Time will tame the fire
And the sun will come around
A deep breath but it's not air
Short days and endless nights
So many people but one not there
Memories steal every thought
Pain fires every breath
So many battles fought
And so many deaths
Every breath is a rattling gasp
Each word a war
Every tear a shard of glass
Each smile a door
Be strong and stay alive
As iron walls rust to the ground
Time will tame the fire
And the sun will come around
Escape the Storm
In darkness demons hide
Broken mirrors of a fading past
Keep holding onto life
And a love built to last
Keep fighting each day
Through the storm, the haze
You'll find your way
Through the burning maze
Can't escape
But you can make it your place
Accept the endless pain
Give up the chase
And welcome the rain
Embrace the storm
Let loose the rage
Broken and torn
Destroy your cage
Set the fire to your fears
Claim the memories lost
Treasure all your tears
Remember what they cost
Broken mirrors of a fading past
Keep holding onto life
And a love built to last
Keep fighting each day
Through the storm, the haze
You'll find your way
Through the burning maze
Can't escape
But you can make it your place
Accept the endless pain
Give up the chase
And welcome the rain
Embrace the storm
Let loose the rage
Broken and torn
Destroy your cage
Set the fire to your fears
Claim the memories lost
Treasure all your tears
Remember what they cost

Sunshine So Sweet
Sunshine in eyes so sweet
A sharp word on a soft tongue
Her sweet heart does naught but feel
Hasten my love, run
Darkness stains her pretty dress
Cold freezes her eyes
A good heart makes a pretty mess
Such beautiful lies
Emptiness a hollow pain
Fire from careless lips
Tears an endless rain
Apocalypse
The glass rose breaks
Her whole world shattered
Sunshine and snowflakes
Everything that mattered
Alone with a frozen heart
She waits for the sun
Waits for a brand new start
Hasten my love, run
A sharp word on a soft tongue
Her sweet heart does naught but feel
Hasten my love, run
Darkness stains her pretty dress
Cold freezes her eyes
A good heart makes a pretty mess
Such beautiful lies
Emptiness a hollow pain
Fire from careless lips
Tears an endless rain
Apocalypse
The glass rose breaks
Her whole world shattered
Sunshine and snowflakes
Everything that mattered
Alone with a frozen heart
She waits for the sun
Waits for a brand new start
Hasten my love, run

Cavalier of the Night
Deep black and dying blue
Strength and grace and fire
He sees right through you
The charm of a liar
Suit and tie and fearless smile
A mystery you'd die to solve
Fiery wit and rampant guile
A heart he won't absolve
Can't be touched and can't be held
He dances with his words
Smoke and ice that can't be felt
Thunder that can't be heard
An old talent for a new high
On a rare winter night
Just a single song alive
With a dare in his eye
A storm in his heart
He will draw you in
Rip you apart
Watch you falling
You'll defend him forever
Let him lead you to death
A trap and a treasure
He'll be your last breath
A sharp knife and a final stone
He's a beautiful lie you can trust
A valiant savior well known
A killer at dusk
Strength and grace and fire
He sees right through you
The charm of a liar
Suit and tie and fearless smile
A mystery you'd die to solve
Fiery wit and rampant guile
A heart he won't absolve
Can't be touched and can't be held
He dances with his words
Smoke and ice that can't be felt
Thunder that can't be heard
An old talent for a new high
On a rare winter night
Just a single song alive
With a dare in his eye
A storm in his heart
He will draw you in
Rip you apart
Watch you falling
You'll defend him forever
Let him lead you to death
A trap and a treasure
He'll be your last breath
A sharp knife and a final stone
He's a beautiful lie you can trust
A valiant savior well known
A killer at dusk

Darkness Dancer
Red and gold and glittering fire
Eyes beneath a mask
Sweet lips of a liar
Feet that move so fast
Graceful strokes and flowing hair
Watch the darkness dance
Perfect balance walking on air
She captures every glance
Low sweeps and perfect poise
Swish across the floor
Silence drowns the deafening noise
Watch the darkness soar
Truth behind the lying disguise
Flickering eyes on fire
A dress like a swarm of fireflies
A zeal that will never tire
The night will die and the sun will rise
And the darkness dancer gone
So upon night watch for those fire eyes
Because she'll keep dancing on
Eyes beneath a mask
Sweet lips of a liar
Feet that move so fast
Graceful strokes and flowing hair
Watch the darkness dance
Perfect balance walking on air
She captures every glance
Low sweeps and perfect poise
Swish across the floor
Silence drowns the deafening noise
Watch the darkness soar
Truth behind the lying disguise
Flickering eyes on fire
A dress like a swarm of fireflies
A zeal that will never tire
The night will die and the sun will rise
And the darkness dancer gone
So upon night watch for those fire eyes
Because she'll keep dancing on

Feed the Flames
Locked far away in the darkest cell
An unknown darkness waits
Frozen in an endless hell
Fighting fear and hate
Smoke and fire burn above it
While a tornado rages within
Deep below the ground splits
And hope falls in
Dead leaves burn to crisps
Fear feeds the flames
Smoke trails and frozen wisps
Bound together in chains
Come here honey and smile at me
Let us burn together
Let us set this darkness free
Calm this stormy weather
We're down here where we belong
A place we'll never escape
But we know how to stay strong
We know how to love this place
An unknown darkness waits
Frozen in an endless hell
Fighting fear and hate
Smoke and fire burn above it
While a tornado rages within
Deep below the ground splits
And hope falls in
Dead leaves burn to crisps
Fear feeds the flames
Smoke trails and frozen wisps
Bound together in chains
Come here honey and smile at me
Let us burn together
Let us set this darkness free
Calm this stormy weather
We're down here where we belong
A place we'll never escape
But we know how to stay strong
We know how to love this place

Sorceress of the Night
Hair all black and shining blue
A voice that haunts the mind
Eyes that sees right through you
Words that make you blind
A web so strong but still full of light
A soul so bruised and dark
She will rule your day and night
You will bear her mark
She smiles through pain
And dies throughout her life
A fire in pouring rain
The blade of her own knife
You will follow her to the end
Give your life to see her live
Still she has no friends
No mistakes she will forgive
She's a piece of night and day
A truth you cannot trust
A dark light that never fades
Iron that never rusts
She loves this life
Will never leave
Use her own knife
She won't bleed
She lies in wait for the final stone
The one strong enough to kill her
The one who can save her alone
Her savior and killer
A voice that haunts the mind
Eyes that sees right through you
Words that make you blind
A web so strong but still full of light
A soul so bruised and dark
She will rule your day and night
You will bear her mark
She smiles through pain
And dies throughout her life
A fire in pouring rain
The blade of her own knife
You will follow her to the end
Give your life to see her live
Still she has no friends
No mistakes she will forgive
She's a piece of night and day
A truth you cannot trust
A dark light that never fades
Iron that never rusts
She loves this life
Will never leave
Use her own knife
She won't bleed
She lies in wait for the final stone
The one strong enough to kill her
The one who can save her alone
Her savior and killer

The Lost Bay
A glittering shadow covers the bay
Pretty lights diffuse in mist
It isn't night but no longer day
This bay should not exist
Electric flashes crackle the air
Raindrops singe the ground
Trees are crying their leaves bare
Secrets wait to be found
The flood that comes through is a raging fire
The wind an explosion of storms
Ashes keep piling higher
Creating more deathly forms
The empty silence sings its tune
The ground begins to tremble
Far beneath the dying moon
Let everything dissemble
Close every single gate
Destroy each leading track
Leave them to their fate
Don't dare look back
Pretty lights diffuse in mist
It isn't night but no longer day
This bay should not exist
Electric flashes crackle the air
Raindrops singe the ground
Trees are crying their leaves bare
Secrets wait to be found
The flood that comes through is a raging fire
The wind an explosion of storms
Ashes keep piling higher
Creating more deathly forms
The empty silence sings its tune
The ground begins to tremble
Far beneath the dying moon
Let everything dissemble
Close every single gate
Destroy each leading track
Leave them to their fate
Don't dare look back

Sword of Shadows
A shadow sweeps across the sand
Soft laughter fills the air
Giant waves crash land
Against shores of despair
Soft laughter fills the air
Giant waves crash land
Against shores of despair
Winds pick up and choke your breath
Darkness tries stealing the light
The cold drops down to death
You prepare to fight
Darkness tries stealing the light
The cold drops down to death
You prepare to fight
Your sword is just a blade of fire
Your shield a circle of flame
Don’t you stop don’t you tire
Just focus on your aim
Your shield a circle of flame
Don’t you stop don’t you tire
Just focus on your aim
Mist creeps through dim light
Drums beat in the distance
Something isn’t right
The presence seems omniscient
Drums beat in the distance
Something isn’t right
The presence seems omniscient
It will draw you in and tear you apart
Don’t forget how to fight
Remember to protect your heart
Remember how to hide
Don’t forget how to fight
Remember to protect your heart
Remember how to hide
You know the perfect time to run
You know just when to fall
This is what you’ve become
A fighter for them all
You know just when to fall
This is what you’ve become
A fighter for them all
Each Heartbeat is On Fire
Reach through the iron gate
Feel for the broken shards
Even though it’s far too late
Bring them back through the bars
Feel for the broken shards
Even though it’s far too late
Bring them back through the bars
Slowly fit the heart together
Ignore the holes and cracks
Know it will never get better
You will never get it back
Ignore the holes and cracks
Know it will never get better
You will never get it back
Slowly put it back inside
Move back into the dark
All that’s left is to hide
And survive through every mark
Move back into the dark
All that’s left is to hide
And survive through every mark
Eyes are closed and thoughts shut down
Walls keep rising higher
The darkness tries so hard to drown
Each heartbeat is on fire
Walls keep rising higher
The darkness tries so hard to drown
Each heartbeat is on fire
