Down To The River

I went to satisfy the things in my head,
I went to realise the stories they said.
I went looking for a new place to be,
Never told me nothing comes for free.
I went down to the river to pray.
I went wandering through fairytales,
I went questioning the stories they tell.
So stop your reasoning, won't make it okay,
And stop your thinking, never knew me so well.
I went down to the river to pray.

Leading Us Home
04:08

Soft now, don't speak.
While you're gone I swear I'll keep the road,
Leading us home.
Please don't follow when I leave,
The sun still shines if you believe it's there,
Lighting the world.
And I don't know now, how long the road.
But I'll keep wandering, leading us home.
I'll keep safe where my stories from,
The lullaby still sings when we're all gone,
Still echoes on.
Carry me into the sky,
We'll learn to fly when we stop holding on,
And on and on.
And I don't know now, how long the road.
But I'll keep wandering, leading us home.
And I don't know now, how long the road.
But I'll keep wandering, leading us home.

Growing Up
03:59

Old and new, haven't touched
The roads left there to follow.
Bitter taste, of disorder
With the fire in the sky and the blood on the ground 'cause we're free.
Toxic past, scarred forever
So cover it up while we sell it again and again.
Drawing lines, scratch it out
And dig it in deeper and hide what you've really done.
With the fire in the sky and the blood on the ground 'cause we're free.
With the fire in the sky and the blood on the ground 'cause we're free.
With the fire in the sky and the blood on the ground 'cause we're free.
With the fire in the sky and the blood on the ground 'cause we're free.
'Cause we're free.

Waiting For Rain
03:59
|
|

Tear drops fall to the ground
The words will never be found.
So tear a piece of me
And never let them see.
I'm waiting for rain
To wash you away again.
Lost my faded dreams
'Cause they're never quite as they seem
The smoke has blown it away
My lifelike portrait of shame
I'm waiting for rain
To wash you away again.
Hold on to me again
Find my only friend.
Because I'm waiting for rain
To wash you away again.
And I'm waiting for rain
To wash you away again.
