Waiting in the Wings

The wind held my hand
And blew away the dust
Voices get lost in the breeze (ah-ah-ah)
Echoes shed my rust
The wind eased my mind
And showed me where to go
A place untouched by time
I'll wait for you
Waiting in the wings
In the shadows, in the shadows
Waiting in the wings
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you
Waiting in the wings
In the shadows, in the shadows
Waiting in the wings
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you
Waiting in the wings
In the shadows, in the shadows
Waiting in the wings
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you

Blink once, blink twice
It's your world, open your eyes
And let the fear wash over you
You know, I know
No turning back tonight
So let the light shine down your mind
I don't wanna wait
Tell the universe to open the gate
And break my earthly chains
I don't wanna wait
Tell the universe to open the gate
And break my earthly chains
Blink once, blink twice
It's your world, open your eyes
And let the fear wash over you
Climbing up the tower
Take me to nowhere
I don't wanna leave without you
But a new world waits for no one
Climbing up the tower
Take me to nowhere
I don't wanna leave without you
But a new world waits for no one

Out of Sight

Let me be your river, let me fall like a stream
Drifting slowly to the edge of a dream
Last time I saw her she was out of sight
Falling slowly to the city's light
In a moment as cold as the ocean
A voice spoke to me
In a moment as distant as Pluto
A voice spoke to me
In a moment as cold as the ocean
A voice spoke to me
I couldn't hear a word that he said
I'm lost again
Let me be your river, let me fall like a stream
Drifting slowly to the edge of a dream
Last time I saw her she was out of sight
Falling slowly to the city's light
Let me be your river, let me fall like a stream
Drifting slowly to the edge of a dream
A million light years since I saw your face
I thought it was a memory I could never replace

Forever Song

Searching forever
I don't remember
Why I said never
Searching forever
I don't remember
Why I said never
(my heart, deny)
(my heart, deny)
(my heart, deny)
(my heart, deny)
Would it hurt?
Would it burn?
Would it kill you to listen?
Searching forever
I don't remember
Why I said never
Searching forever
I don't remember
Why I said never
(my heart, deny)
(my heart, deny)
(my heart, deny)
(my heart, deny)
It's only forever
Let your words outlast your soul
If you don't live forever
Will you ever be fulfilled?
(You would never understand! This is my choice!)

Freedom and security, what more could you want from me?
Freedom and security, what more could you want from me?
Freedom and security, what more could you want from me?
Freedom and security, what more could you want from me?
(It's probably because they don't feel that it's odd.)
(What is happening to us?)
Find me insecurity
Freedom see the city fall
Find me insecurity
Freedom see the city fall
Find me insecurity
Freedom see the city fall
Find me insecurity
Freedom see the city fall
Find me insecurity
Freedom see the city fall

Eternal Window

Eternal window, let me turn my eyes to you
And see the corpse of the earth shine like gold
Shine down, enlighten the rubbled souls
No God, no master, just me
(Oh, oh) Eternal window, let me sit on the edge
(Oh, oh) And watch the rest of it fall down
(Oh, oh-oh) O, shine!
(Oh, oh, oh oh, oh oh) Make me feel alive
(Oh, oh) I see eternity, I see happiness
(Oh, oh) I see peace
(Oh, oh-oh) I see a light
(Oh, oh, oh oh, oh oh) For me

Weightless
05:34
|

|
Out in the wind, drifting through
Weightless, watch me ghost through you
I'm trying to leave, I thought you knew
Just don't let me fall
Breathe in, breathe out
Look in, see nothing
Outstretched, I'll leave my hand
But please don't trust my grip
You won't see me
Fade away
You won't see me
Fade away into the night
You won't see me
Fade away
You won't see me
I'll keep fighting alone
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh
Out in the wind, drifting through
Weightless, watch me ghost through you
I'm trying to leave, I thought you knew
Just don't let me fall
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da

(Let me unfurl)
(Let me unfurl)
What can we do?
When the cities we build
Come tumbling down, down
What can we do?
When the people we no
Burn bright, then burn out, out
I wanted to go, take one more look at the ocean
And fall to my knees, feel the gashes open
If I disappear, all that I'd be hoping
Is that you saved yourself
(Save yourself)
(Save yourself)
La, la, la, la
Be free, be free
Save yourself for me
Be free
Save yourself for me
Save yourself (Be free, be free)
Let the city collapse onto me (Save yourself for me)
(Be free)
Cast your chains and be free (Save yourself for me)
