WRITINGS ON A PAGE

v1-The world is ending
it needs its rest
with each breath it takes
you feel it best
the oceans flooding
and the earth subsides
but we're still content
in these denies
Chorus- Id there value
in the things you need
is there glory
in the things that bleed
is there hope
in the things you feed
is there dreams to carry
v2-The words are echoed
among the skies
every ear hears clearly
but only lies
the streams are dying
yet the earth cries
but we're still content
to let things die
CHORUS
V3- The world's not braver
than you or I
and all its value
cant be seen with eyes
the waters pleading
and the earth is weak
but we're still content
in staying asleep
CHORUS x2
Is there dreams to carry on
Strong Enough
v1-Are you strong enough
to let it all go
and build it up
if only to fall again
are you brave enough
to give it your all
and put faith in your hands
if only in vain
Chorus- Wondering why
is for those who fall behind
wonder if
is for those who didnt try
wondering
v2-Am I strong enough
to carry on
and find my something new
if only as a second to the first
am I brave enough
to sacrifice it all
and start it back up again
if only in vain
CHORUS
v3-Are we strong enough
to know when it is done
and bow our heads
even when we still think we've won
are we brave enough
to cross the unknown
and put faith in god hands
if only in vain
CHORUS
In Your Tears
v1-My dear old friend
dont wash it all away
in blood
with cuts so deep
to numb the pain
I never want to see
you sad again
Chorus- In your tears of lonely
I want to stand
cause two is not lonely
not lonely
In your tears of sorrow
I want to stand
cause one cannot handle sorrow
the way that two can
v2-Throw away your sharpened blade
there will be better days
please dont fade
I wont
I cant
let you bury yourself red
CHORUS
v3- Im sorry that I dont fully understand
but climb out of darken holes
my dear old friend
and live
and laugh
and never let go
like once before
CHORUS
Shadows and Memories
v1-You turn around
and briefly smiled
only to walk away
I caught myself
unsure of what just happened
tonight
up high standing
with arms out to your sides
in a blink of an eye
it was all goodbye
Chorus- I'll hold you up now
dont slip away
lets get up now
it's almost a new day
just dont go now
I cant breathe
if you dont stay
v2-your heart
it's hardly beating
and I've forgotten
your reasons why
but I want you to know
that I'm broken
when you lie borken
here tonight
CHORUS
v3-You cast a shadow
for no one but me
and in this darkness
I can see
broken memories
of the way it used to be
CHORUS
v4-Empty pages
tells your secret story
of days past
and of days of glory
as the pages burn
and ashes scatter
shall I believe the former or the latter
CHORUS
and briefly smiled
only to walk away
I caught myself
unsure of what just happened
tonight
up high standing
with arms out to your sides
in a blink of an eye
it was all goodbye
Chorus- I'll hold you up now
dont slip away
lets get up now
it's almost a new day
just dont go now
I cant breathe
if you dont stay

it's hardly beating
and I've forgotten
your reasons why
but I want you to know
that I'm broken
when you lie borken
here tonight

for no one but me
and in this darkness
I can see
broken memories
of the way it used to be
CHORUS
v4-Empty pages
tells your secret story
of days past
and of days of glory
as the pages burn
and ashes scatter
shall I believe the former or the latter
CHORUS
Lonely
v1-She walks with her head
tilted slightly down
lost in thoughts
she's on her own again
she searches
for something she just wont find
cause all she wants
shes left behind
Chorus-She smiles to the world
but deep inside
she's lonely, lonely
and she cries
standing tall to the world
but deep inside
she's lonely, lonely
and she cries
v2-She hopes she can
put the tears aside
that way no one will figure out
she's not alright
she doesnt want you to tell her
that things will turn out right
she just wants you to hold her
even when she doesnt feel
like opening up tonight
CHORUS
Just Don't Coincide
v1-You catch a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror
you're dissatisfied by the sight
you catch yourself fixing
all the problems that you find
it can't be true
you can't stand to fight
when your outside and your inside
just don't coincide
Chorus-Let it fade away
let it pass
scratch your face
until you realise
you're beautiful
in my eyes
v2-You catch yourself fliping those magazines
wishing that it was you they idolize
You catch a glimpse of thier faces
trying to pick out the perfect life
you curse and you cry
you can't stand to fight
when your inside and your outside
just don't coincide
CHORUS
Bridge-you can't stand to fight
when your inside and your outside
jsut don't coincide
You're beautiful
you're beautiful
in my eyes
CHORUS
you're dissatisfied by the sight
you catch yourself fixing
all the problems that you find
it can't be true

when your outside and your inside

Chorus-Let it fade away
let it pass
scratch your face
until you realise
you're beautiful
in my eyes
v2-You catch yourself fliping those magazines

when your inside and your outside
jsut don't coincide
You're beautiful

Once Upon A Time
v1-Writing letters beginning with once upon a time
words spoken in sentence
laid out in this simple rhyme
I cant find an ending that's suited for you
memories I could retell but words are so few
Chorus-And I'll be here
you can be there
but I hope these letters follow you there
and I'll be near
you can be far
but I hope these letters get where you are
v2-Remember those days, it was once upon a time
when words didn't need saying and that was just fine
now, in this today I'll write it all down
in case you decide to check lost and found
CHORUS
v3-The page is filling with marks of once upon a time
but the pen still keeps finding more for this simple rhyme
the story is closing without a goodbye
I'll sign the bottom page with love you not bye
CHORUS
Summer Rain
v1-Empty streets
I walk to remember
The younger times in life
under dim lights
I walk to remember
the happier times in life
Chorus- Amoung the chaos in the world
amoung the lonely endless skies
its sweet summer rain
that's keeping me alive tonight
and in this moment
sweet summer rain
feels...
v2-heavy legs they carry
in remembrance of times
of the cold, the forgotten
and the ones who fall
from time to time
heavy breaths they carry
in rememberence of times
of souls, of love, of life
CHORUS
v3-silver in that moment
golden tonight
in this moment of glory
is it strong,
too heavy,
too empty
but it's my sweet summer rain
CHORUS
strong...too heavy
Legs they carry
too empty
streets I walk
but it's my sweet summer rain, in this moment
that holds on tonight
I walk to remember
The younger times in life
under dim lights
I walk to remember
the happier times in life
Chorus- Amoung the chaos in the world
amoung the lonely endless skies
its sweet summer rain
that's keeping me alive tonight
and in this moment
sweet summer rain

and the ones who fall
from time to time
heavy breaths they carry

Drones
v1-The lights they burn so bright
and in the ashes
we all learn early
what it means to bleed
so we give up hope
do as we're told
for the future's theirs to hold
Chorus-Lets stand tall then
and brush off
everything we own
lets march on then
and forget ourselves
their pretty little drones
v2-ten hundred follow
all for one
ten hundred stand
all but one
they'll make examples of him
when they are done
CHORUS
v3-one by one we faulter
two by two we die
it's a shame really
in broken holes we lie
we are the weak
and they the strong
we heavy hands they hold us
in places we don't belong
CHORUS
Beautiful Day
v1-Let the music ring in the background
getting lost in thoughts as the piano plays
looking out my bedroom window
to watch the day fade away
into the sunset
one more beautiful day
one more beautiful day
Chorus-Im willing to fall
if it means I can start over again
Im willing to take the blame today
and start from scratch again
because today's a beautiful day
my one more beautiful day
v2-Le tthe drums keep time
while the guitar strums in the background
maybe I'll wake up today
and it will all be perfect
4 o'clock ticking on a sunday
one more beautiful day
one more beautiful day
CHORUS
v3-One more violin plays sadly in the background
always sitting in the backseat
waiting for something more than this
but I guess it's ok
the music still plays
for one more beautiful day
one more beautiful day
CHORUS
bridge- Im willing to fall
Im willing to break
Im willing to take it all
for one more beautiful day

getting lost in thoughts as the piano plays
looking out my bedroom window
to watch the day fade away
into the sunset

one more beautiful day
Chorus-Im willing to fall

Im willing to take the blame today
and start from scratch again
because today's a beautiful day

Happily Ever After
v1-He has the walk of a broken heart
but he hides it well
keeping it tucked away
in loving memory
to watch over him
protecting him from another fake
happily ever after story
as his heart mends
in guilty self-pity
he numbs the pain
if only for awhile
Chorus-The past is just one step back
and it holds on so tight
now it's a heart that you lack
forgive and wear it on your sleeve again
v2-She wears the emotions of a broken heart
and can't hide it well
as her heart breaks
she sews up the pieces
and makes it whole again
she prays out to the skies
and she prays for him
she's hanging on to the idea
of a happily ever after story
Chorus2-The past is just one step back
and it holds on so tight
and the heart that he lacks
keeps her hanging on to him
She, He
v1-She...She can't rememberwhen
the last time she was happy
She...She doesn't want
to stay in the world's shattered dreams
She...She fights to stay
stay and not fall behind
but she, she struggles no matter how easy it seems
to find
Chorus-What can you count on
when your lucks run out
What can you lean on
when you're just about to fall, shout
the world's not listening to you
sometimes it seems
misery is all that she can see
v2-He...He can't remember when
the last time he was loved
He...He doesn't want
what he can't have
He...He fights to stay
stay and not fall behind
but he, he struggles no matter how easy it seems
to find
CHORUS
v3-He...She can't remember when
the last of their wishes ran out
She...He doesn't ever think
life could be better than this
He...She believes that the day of good things
can never be freed
She...He fights to stay
stay and not fall behind
but he,she struggles no matter how easy it is
to find
Bridge-Sometimes it seems it's true
the world's not listening to you
She...he
can only see
misery
CHORUS
the last time she was happy
She...She doesn't want
