OH HUMANITY EP LYRICS

OH HUMANITY

I cry alone in my room sometimes
Trying to manage this world divided
The bleeding hearts on the quiet side
While all the rage is being amplified
I’m wide awake in the middle of the night
Trying to stay out of this toxic fight
But what’s a person like me to do
Up against a world like you?

OH HUMANITY
YEAH YOU BREAK MY HEART
OH THE INSANITY
IT’S TEARING EVERYONE APART

I used to think that I could change a heart
Reflect back to you your kindest part
But somewhere along the way
We put the anger on full display
And now it’s getting so normalized
I cry out for the former life
Like a wolf for its family
That’s long gone, what a tragedy

OH HUMANITY
YEAH YOU BREAK MY HEART
OH THE INSANITY
IT’S TEARING EVERYONE APART

I wanna’ believe - Don’t let me down (I wanna’ believe - don’t let me down)
I wanna’ believe - Don’t let me down (I wanna’ believe - don’t let me down)
I wanna’ believe - Don’t let me down (I wanna’ believe -I wanna’ believe)

OH HUMANITY
YEAH YOU BREAK MY HEART
OH THE INSANITY
IT’S TEARING EVERYONE APART
INHUMANITY
OH HOW YOU BREAK MY HEART
OH THE INSANITY
IT’S TEARING EVERYONE APART

JUST ONE RULE

Living in love
Dreaming in love
Living in love
Dying in love

I keep my head down low
I don’t ask for much at all
I get lonely like the rest
And I need love to catch my fall
I feel everything and nothing at the same time
Hope you understand
I’m a lover and a fighter
Depending on the dealer’s hand

But I have just one rule
Don’t fuck with my heart
Just one rule
Don’t fuck with my heart

Living in love
Dreaming in love
Living in love
Dying in love

If you want a roll over, take it kind of person
I’m not the one for you
When there’s a wall to walk around
I’ll find the middle and bust right through
No one will love you as fiercely as I do
If you’re brave enough to do it
You can love me like that too

But I have just one rule
Don’t fuck with my heart
Just one rule
Don’t fuck with my heart

Living in love (Don’t fuck with my heart)
Dreaming in love (Don’t fuck with my heart)
Living in love (Don’t fuck with my heart)
Dying in love (Don’t fuck with my heart)

Living in love (Don’t fuck with)
Dreaming in love (Don’t fuck with)
Living in love (Don’t fuck with)
Dying in love (Don’t fuck with my heart)

THIRTEEN

Don’t you remember that part of your life
When every moment was the end all be all of time
Don’t you remember you were sadder than sad
And the smallest opinion made you wish you were dead

When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen

Don’t you remember every love that you felt
Left a crater in your heart, oh it hurt like hell
You must remember how you hated your friends
Then five minutes later you were best friends again

When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen

Oh yeah, we made it out alive
I still can’t believe that’s true
Oh yeah, it’s something we survived
Only the lucky ones do

Don’t you remember hiding out in your room
Getting high on everything you could consume
Don’t you remember letting boys have their way
You were so scared of everything but you didn’t want to say

When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen

Don’t you remember feeling stuck in your skin
When everyone was beautiful and perfect and thin
If you can’t remember, well that’s a god damn shame
‘Cause it built you into everything that you became

When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen

Oh yeah, we made it out alive
I still can’t believe that’s true
Oh yeah, it’s something we survived
Only the lucky ones do

Don’t you remember when you were thirteen?
Don’t you remember when you were thirteen?
When you were thirteen
When you were thirteen

BEFORE YOU DO

If you love me, baby, please tell me so
It’s breaking my heart, babe, that you can’t find the words
If you want me, baby, call me sometime
I’ll do all the talking if you’ve lost your nerve

‘Cause it doesn’t have to be so hard, babe
I can make it easy on you
By saying I love you
Before you do

If you dream of me, baby, you know it’s alright
I dream of you too babe, almost every night
Oh you’re safe with me, baby, I’ll hold you so tight
You’ll never want to leave again, like you thought you might

‘Cause it doesn’t have to be so hard, babe
I can make it easy on you
By saying I love you
Before you do
‘Cause it doesn’t have to be so hard, babe
I can make it easy on you
By saying I love you
Before you do
By saying I love you
Before you do

IS IT STILL OK TO DREAM?

Night time wraps around us
Until our eyes can barely see
The stars form a seven in the sky
Are you feeling lucky?
No one knows where we are
And they’ll never find us here
Is it still ok to dream
After living with this fear?

Ooooh, trusting you is dangerous
I’m not sure I was made for this
Everything’s trying to break us
But maybe this love will save us

Daylight brings a realness
That the shadows couldn’t hide
Our thoughts illuminated by the sun
So we’re hiding here inside
No one knows who we are
All the faces seem to blur
Is it still ok to dream,
Or will it only get us burned?

Ooooh, trusting you is dangerous
I’m not sure I was made for this
Everything’s trying to break us
But maybe this love will save us

If I lose you now
I won’t know how
To make it through alone
I’ve come to find
We’re intertwined
And it scares me to the bone

Ooooh, trusting you is dangerous
I’m not sure I was made for this
Everything’s trying to break us
But maybe this love will save us

LOST OUT HERE

You can find me in the echo that a sound makes
Right in the space between
The melody and the dream
I thought I heard a voice coming loud and clear
I tried to memorize it but it disappeared
I’m alone in this atmosphere

Please hear me
I’m lost out here
Will I ever sound clear again?
Drowning in a sea
Of bright stars calling
Everyone’s falling down

In the endless space of infinity
I’ll claim a tiny part
In a world made for broken hearts
I listen for the message here
I try to write it down before it disappears
I’m alone in this atmosphere

Please hear me
I’m lost out here
Will I ever sound clear again?
Drowning in a sea
Of bright stars calling
Everyone’s falling down

Solo

Please hear me
I’m lost out here
Will I ever sound clear again?
Drowning in a sea
Of bright stars calling
Everyone’s falling down

FOUR FATHOMS DEEP EP LYRICS

You don't know the depths I'd go

The depths I’d go to save our love

Our love, four fathoms deep, our love

You don’t know the depths I’d go

The depths I’d go to save our love

Our love, four fathoms deep, our love

I’m way under the sea

Waiting on the enemy

Feels like complacency

Is trying to make its way in

You used to take my breath away

I used to make your body sway

And I would fight everyday

To bring it all back again

Four Fathoms Deep, Fathoms Deep, Fathoms Deep

You don’t know the depths I’d go

The depths I’d go to save our love

You don’t know the depths I’d go

The depths I’d go to save our love

Our love, four fathoms deep, our love

Oh I still have the will to fight

I haven’t let you out of sight

Even if you thought I might

I’ll fight for every breath

It’s a chance that we have to take

Surrender as the waves break

Sink into the heartache

Way down in the depths

Four fathoms deep, fathoms deep, fathoms deep

You don’t know the depths I’d go

The depths I’d go to save our love

Don’t get close to me

Or look me in the eye

It’s just a matter of time

Until I can’t hold out, hold out

A dream was just a dream

But now you stand in front of me

It’s just a matter of time

Until I can’t hold out, hold out

Don’t run away like a child

You started this

Don’t run away, make me wild

You started this

Oh will you ever cease?

I need a quick release

From all this tension,

Like a high wire , like a high wire

It’s hanging over me

I need a quick release

From all this never ending desire, desire

Don’t run away like a child

You started this

Don’t run away, make me wild

You started this

Ohhhhh, Ohhhhhhh

Don’t run away like a child

You started this

Don’t run away, make me wild

You started this

Lay down your heart

Expose everything you’re made of

Pull it apart

Every bit of you is complicated

Show me the way

You make me really want to believe you

Tell me to stay

I want to hear you say that it’s true

I know you’re a dangerous dream

No one can resist Chimera

I’ll take you any way you seem

You’ve got your hooks in me

I know you’re a dangerous dream

No one can resist Chimera

I’ll see what you want me to see

I touch the fire

And I feel like it’s endearing

A reckless desire

An animal kind of yearning

You’re taking me higher

And these feelings are so unnerving

I know you’re a dangerous dream

No one can resist Chimera

I’ll take you any way you seem

You’ve got your hooks in me

I know you’re a dangerous dream

No one can resist Chimera

I’ll see what you want me to see

I think you’re gonna’ destroy me

But I can’t take back my heart

I think you’re gonna’ destroy me

I know you’re a dangerous dream

No one can resist Chimera

I’ll take you any way you seem

You’ve got your hooks in me

I know you’re a dangerous dream

No one can resist Chimera

I’ll see what you want me to see

I wonder if you’ll ever know everything that you are

My thoughts are always bending to you

I see you in all colors like a halo from a star

Just take it in, I’ll move it all through

See yourself through me

Be a witness to my love

Live inside my dreams

Be a witness to my love

I’ll stand here like your shadow with a prism in my heart

A light that’s always shining for you

I’ll paint you with affection like a stunning work of art

Just take it in and let it move through

See yourself through me

Be a witness to my love

Live inside my dreams

Be a witness to my love

Bridge

See yourself though me

Be a witness to my love

Live inside my dreams

Be a witness to my love

See yourself through me

Be a witness to my love

Live inside my dreams

Be a witness to my love

a witness to my love

I’ve never see you quite like this before

You won’t even answer your door

My heart skips a beat when I think of you

I’m scared but I know you are too

You know I’d do anything I could for you

I want you to believe we need you to push through

But this is a whole new kind of sad

I wish I knew just the right words to say

But I’ll show up here everyday, anyway

‘Cause this is a whole new kind of sad

You tried psilocybin, ketamine

So many meds and talk therapy

It’s nothing that my humble mind can cure

But I love you, of this I am sure

You know I’d do anything I could for you

I want you to believe we need you to push through

But this is a whole new kind of sad

I wish I knew just the right words to say

But I’ll show up here everyday, anyway

‘Cause this is a whole new kind of sad

We’ll never stop fighting to

Make it easier on you

You deserve to feel the light in your heart again

You know I’d do anything I could for you

I want you to believe we need you to push through

But this is a whole new kind of sad

I wish I knew just the right words to say

But I’ll show up here everyday, anyway

‘Cause this is a whole new kind of sad

You know I’d do anything I could for you

I want you to believe we need you to push through

But this is a whole new kind of sad

My heart skips a beat when I think of you

I’m scared and I know you are too

I love you, this much is true

Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it

Baby, yesterday's favorite
Don't you hate it

Baby life's what you make it
Don't back date it

Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty is naked

Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it

ALL ABOUT LOVE EP LYRICS

ALL ABOUT LOVE (Noëlle Hampton/Lizzy Lehman)

Every word can leave a mark
Like a tattoo or a battle scar
Go gentle on our ever fragile souls

Everyone stand sided by side
Look your neighbor in the eye
Toss away your sorrows, let it go

When it comes down to it, it’s all about love
When you break it down, it’s what we’re in search of
When it comes down to it, it’s all about love
When you break it down, it’s what we’re all made of

From a dark time to the sunshine
We’re stepping out to clear our minds
We’re moving past the tears that rained too long

Now’s the time to redesign
And put your heart on the frontline
On the line (on the line) On the line (on the line)

When it comes down to it, it’s all about love
When you break it down, it’s what we’re in search of
When it comes down to it, it’s all about love
When you break it down, it’s what we’re all made of
It’s what we’re made of oooh…

Don’t waste my time if you can’t do it, if you can’t do it, if you can’t do it
Don’t waste my time if you can’t do it, if you can’t do it, if you can’t do it, do it do it

When it comes down to it
It’s all about love, all about love, all about love, all about…………

When it comes down to it, it’s all about love
When you break it down, it’s what we’re in search of
When it comes down to it, it’s all about love
When you break it down, it’s what we’re all made of
When it comes down to it
It’s all about love, It’s all about love, it’s all about love
When you break it down, it’s all about love
When you break it down, it’s all about love

UNSPOKEN (Noëlle Hampton)

You collected me
A pretty thing for all to see
But you were never what I’d hoped you be
She always had your love
It’s a bitter thing
That you break my one unbroken wing
And sever every single heartstring
One by one by one

It’s over now, I knew somehow
I’d rise from a life unspoken
We burned it down to save ourselves
And mend our hearts so broken

If I could sweat you out
I would have danced until there was no doubt
All I dreamt of was to breakout
‘Cause she always had your love
I tried everything
Just ‘cause they say it doesn’t make you king
And I was left without a working wing
You took them one by one

It’s over now, I knew somehow
I’d rise from a life unspoken
We burned it down to save ourselves
And mend our hearts so broken

I’ll admit that I was naive for a time
I wish I could have drawn a stronger line
But you were always hers and never mine
Truth comes out in time.

It made you insane
That all they cared about was my name
‘Cause I was love and you were deep shame
They left you one by one

It’s over now, I knew somehow
I’d rise from a life unspoken
We burned it down to save ourselves
And mend our hearts so broken
When I look back now, I knew somehow
I’d rise from a life unspoken
We burned it down to save ourselves
And mend our hearts so broken

CRUSH (Noëlle Hampton)

You don’t know this illness
In your room in the stillness
Deep in devotion, seduced by emotion
You’re whipped up like candy
You can’t eat a damn thing
You think about the one you desire
You feel like your heart is on fire

Oooh, (CRUSH) you feel like you’re dying
You’re just sick with love
Oooh, (CRUSH) you wake up crying
You’re just sick with love
Like a swell in the ocean
You get sick from the motion of love, of love

Your pulse is erratic
Your mind is ecstatic
You can’t remember words that were said
You dream about their lips, cherry red
You’re ravaged from wanting
Exhausted from longing
You think about the one that you crave
You slip into another heat wave

Oooh, (CRUSH) you feel like you’re dying
You’re just sick with love
Oooh, (CRUSH) you wake up crying
You’re just sick with love
Oh your heart’s fast beating
You just sick with the feeling of love, of love

Don’t fight what you can’t fight
You’re sick with love
Sick with love
Sick with love

Oooh, (CRUSH) you feel like you’re dying
You’re just sick with love
Oooh, (CRUSH) you wake up crying
You’re just sick with love
Like a swell in the ocean
You get sick from the motion of love, of love

DIAMOND EYES (Noëlle Hampton)

For the record I don’t feel so good right now
I’m a wreck, I’m completely hollowed out
It’s been ages since I felt like me
But when you come around you make me see
I can get a glimpse of what I used to be, through your eyes

When you see me through your diamond eyes, I’m invincible
When you see me through your diamond eyes, I’m invincible

This thing between us is a beautiful, blinding light
Reflecting everything in and out of sight
There are moments I don’t feel deserving
And in myself you can tell I’m searching
So you show what I really need to see, though your eyes

When you see me through your diamond eyes, I’m invincible
When you see me through your diamond eyes, I’m invincible

Diamond Diamond Diamond
(When you see me through)

When you see me through your diamond eyes
When you see me through your diamond eyes

When you see me through your diamond eyes, I’m invincible
When you see me through your diamond eyes, I’m invincible
When you see me through your diamond eyes, I’m invincible
When you see me through your diamond eyes, I’m invincible

THE BLOODLINE (Noëlle Hampton)

It’s you and me baby
Left here standing alone
A lifetime of memories
Lived out in flesh and bone
Nobody cares, no one remembers
We left our mark in the smoldering embers
Step to the edge and wait for the great unknown

It’s the end of the bloodline
It’s been a party and we’re feeling fine
It’s the end of the bloodline
Let’s burn it down, we’re getting out in time

Staying up late playing music ’til a quarter of three
There’s nothing to regret, it’s always been just you and me
So many people living back to back
We’ll leave our songs, you can remember us from every track
I gotta say this world is getting just a little crazy

Now it’s the end of the bloodline
It’s been a party and we’re feeling fine
It’s the end of the bloodline
It’s over now you know we’ve had our time

It’s just you and me baby
Left here standing alone
Step to the edge
Wait for the great unknown

Now it’s the end of the bloodline
It’s been a party and we’re feeling fine
It’s the end of the bloodline
We did our thing and now we’re out of time
It’s the end of the bloodline
It’s been a party and we’re feeling fine
It’s the end of the bloodline
Let’s burn it down, we’re getting out in time

STAY ALIVE ©Noëlle Hampton/Ray Prim

Stay alive, we need you more than ever
Stay alive, we need you more than ever

No one’s here to save you but that’s nothing new
You’ve spent a lifetime waiting but nobody follows through
And all along you carry such a burden in your mind
Trying to just get through it
But they always will remind you
And your heart can’t take anymore

Stay alive, we need you more than ever
Stay alive, we need you more than ever

The truth is hard to swallow
The words get trapped inside
And everything familiar seems to change
Waiting for tomorrow and praying for the day
Somewhere somehow there’s gotta’ be a way
Oh to move on, oh to move on

Stay alive, we need you more than ever
Stay alive, we need you more than ever

Don’t let go (Don’t let go)
Of what you have, who you are,
Every breath, every day that comes next
Don’t let go (Don’t let go)
Of what you have, who you are,
Every breath, every day that comes next
I’m on your side

Stay alive, We need you more than ever
Stay alive, we need you more than ever
Stay alive, We need you more than ever (Keep breathing)
Stay alive, we need you more than ever
Stay alive, We need you more than ever (Keep breathing)
Stay alive, we need you more than ever (Keep breathing)

POST-WAR

This year’s trying to kill us slowly
We hold on day by day
I’m moving like a soldier
through the muddy mess of what we can’t unsay

And we find we’re not in sync anymore
Everything is different around here post-war
And we know we’re not in love any more
It’s busted and we’ll never get it back post war

You should have treaded lightly
You know I’m like a charged landmine
I count from one to ninety
Just to see if you change your tone this time

And we find we’re not in sync anymore
Everything is different around here post-war
And we know we’re not in love any more
It’s busted and we’ll never get it back post war

I know this left marks on both of us, both of us
And I’m missing that spark from both of us, both of us

This year was unexpected
This year made a mess of things
There’s nothing left connected
It’s a war that no one wins

And we find we’re not in sync anymore
Everything is different around here post-war
And we know we’re not in love any more
It’s busted and we’ll never get it back post war
And we find we’re not in sync anymore
Everything is different around here post-war
And we know we’re not in love any more
It’s busted and we’ll never get it back post war

NOW YOU SEE ME

I’ve got a secret
It’s coming all apart
Truth be an arrow
Aim straight for the heart

I’ve had a secret
Since I was just a child
Put it in a pocket
Ignore it for a while

But it’s catching up to me
I remember everything

Now you see me
Putting on the makeup
Give your attention
To the dancing clown
Now you see me
Moving through the shakeup
The rising of the dangerous things
I used to push down

I’ve got a secret
Soon everyone will know
Truth be a bullet
Aimed straight for the soul

I know a secret
The pain becomes your heart
You live to escape it
You pull yourself apart

Now you see me
Putting on the makeup
Give your attention
To the dancing clown
Now you see me
Moving through the shakeup
The rising of the dangerous things
I used to push down

TAKE THE DARE

You’re a lonely one
Might be the only one
That never fit the mold
And you’re suddenly aware
All eyes on you, take the dare

Will you drown for this?
Will you go down for this?
The water fills your mouth like a warm kiss
And you’re suddenly aware
All eyes on you, take the dare

The walls push in
And you feel yourself fall
The pressure is real after all
You don’t see yourself in your reflection
You seek the connection

Now the room spins
Your mind full of toxins
And they feed you ’til you fade
And don’t hear them talking
And you’re suddenly aware
All eyes on you, take the dare

The walls push in
And you feel yourself fall
The pressure is real after all
You don’t see yourself in your reflection
You seek the connection
Walls push in
And you feel yourself fall
The pressure is real after all
You don’t see yourself in your reflection
You need the connection

All eyes on you, take the dare
All eyes on you, take the dare
All eyes on you, take the dare

Take me tonight
Let’s dance until we see the morning light
I’ve been alright,
But I need to be reminded I’m alive

Take me away
Where the golden glitter dance floor starts to shake
Let’s make a mistake
There’s no reason that tonight we should behave

Don’t wait for me
I won’t be home until the light comes up, ’til the light comes up
Feel everything
I won’t be home until the light comes up, ’til the light comes up

Go on and touch me tonight
Put your arms around my body and hold me tight
Now I’m closing my eyes
Let the music hide me deep in it’s disguise

Don’t wait for me
I won’t be home until the light comes up, ’til the light comes up
Feel everything
I won’t be home until the light comes up, ’til the light comes up

And we dance under all the stars
Making out in the back of your car
We’re beautiful as we are

Don’t wait for me
I won’t be home until the light comes up, ’til the light comes up
Feel everything
I won’t be home until the light comes up, ’til the light comes up

LOVE WILL CHANGE ©Noëlle Hampton/ASCAP/Twinkle Twinkle Publishing

You thought you had it locked down
Thought you’d figured it out
Everything about me
But I don’t give it out
So easily, so easily
It’s gonna’ take some time for me

You’ll find my mind is up and down, up and down
You’ll know my soul is lost and found, lost and found

Hey sweet bird, let me hear you croon
You think my love will change like the phase of a moon
I think that we can say it’s changing soon

You’ll see baby, we’re up and down, up and down
Can’t stop this heart from getting ‘round, getting ‘round

I can’t control this love, just like the river flows
There’s a place it starts and a place it goes

You’ll find my mind is up and down, up and down
You’ll know my soul is lost and found, lost and found
You’ll see baby, we’re up and down, up and down
Can’t stop this heart from getting ‘round, getting ‘round

LIKE GLASS

You were the wrecking ball
We are the broken wall
Was your time here just borrowed?
You were the labyrinth
We were all caught in it
But never walked the path of your sorrow

It cracks, like glass
Then we can’t see through it at all
We should have known
It breaks, we take
A little bit of each other’s pain
We can’t atone

We never should have let you go
It’s something we will always know
You were a fierce wind when you chose to be
I want to think I’m over it
But I’m drowning in my own guilt
Now trying to hear the words you’d say to me

It cracks, like glass
Then we can’t see through it at all
We should have known
It breaks, we take
A little bit of each other’s pain
We can’t atone

It cracks, like glass, it cracks

GOLDEN HOUR

I want to see you in the golden hour
The light on your face
I want to see you in the golden hour
Your lines I could trace

Come lay with me in the golden hour
As the sun is sinking low
I feel you with me in the golden hour
Your radiant glow

I won’t “say when,” It’s never enough
As twilight bends to touch the dark
I won’t “say when,”
It’s never enough, it’s never enough

I want to see you in the golden hour
Catch the rays in our hands
Everything’s calm in the golden hour
Footprints in the sand

Sit with me now in the golden hour
Where we belong
Follow me through this golden hour
It’s almost gone

I won’t “say when,” It’s never enough
As twilight bends to touch the dark
I won’t “say when,”
It’s never enough, it’s never enough
It’s never enough, it’s never enough
It’s never enough

LUCID DREAM
©Noëlle Hampton ASCAP/Twinkle Twinkle Publishing

So you’re hiding out in the mundane
Pierce the skin and you hit the vein
Test your blood for a sign of life

Everyone you meet has a mirrored eye
Staring at the ground you can see the sky
Go ahead and run with the blade out

LUCID DREAM
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE
LIKE A PRIMAL SCREAM
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE

Now you sleep to dream just to take control
Your blood pumping through the alcohol
You check your mind for a sign of life

You chase the high in your dream state
Everything is heavy and the bough breaks
Go ahead, do it anyway

LUCID DREAM
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE
LIKE A PRIMAL SCREAM
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE

Half awake, retrace, blank slate
Paralyzed, hypnotized, rapid eyes
Let your mind go, if you say so
You can move it forward

LUCID DREAM
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE
LIKE A PRIMAL SCREAM
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE
SAVE US FROM THE SANE LIFE (x2)

I Lose Myself © 2019 Noelle Hampton/Sirja Puurtinen

I am a traveler, you’re my direction
I am a live wire, you’re my connection
Breathe you, feel you, steal you, all your affection
When I’m invisible, you’re my reflection

When I lose myself in you
I become an animal
Like a word you hold me to
I know I am accountable

In this infinite love
I am a spirit in the sun
And a river that will run
Until it’s all been said and done
In this infinite love
We slowly find our way
And become the words we say
In this infinite love

I know that we’re not perfect
But baby we’ve got timing
We move all the stars around
Until they are aligning
Break me wide open, it’s a divine thing
It’s a divine thing, it’s a divine thing

When I lose myself in you
I become an animal
Like a word you hold me to
I know I am accountable

In this infinite love
I am a spirit in the sun
And a river that will run
Until it’s all been said and done
In this infinite love
We slowly find our way
And become the words we say
In this infinite love

THE SEA WITHIN LYRICS

INSIDE OUT

The pills, the booze, the sugar, the news, we take it in
Every night it’s what we choose again and again

We’re bleeding from the inside out
We’re bleeding from the inside out

The politics of idiots, we let it go
The dumbing down of common things we used to know

We’re bleeding from the inside out
We’re bleeding from the inside out

America, America, America
We’re bleeding from the inside out

The meth, the air, with blackened lung we breathe it in
The grease, the porn, the bottles of amphetamine

We’re bleeding from the inside out
We’re bleeding from the inside out

America, America, America
We’re bleeding from the inside out
We’re bleeding from the inside
We’re bleeding from the inside
We’re bleeding from the inside out

The pills, the booze, the sugar, the news, we take it in
Every night it’s what we choose again and again

LIKE A VILLAIN

My mortal enemy
Something I can’t see
Sneaks up inside of me
And takes me for a ride

It’s having so much fun
Me with my weapons drawn
Never a battle won
It’s the beast that won’t die

What’s the worst that could happen
That could happen to me?
It takes my breath like a villain
It steals my heartbeat

Come look inside my mind
It’s in there all the time
The more I draw the line
The more it comes around

You want to tell me how
To kill it here and now
You’ve got your dagger out
Now it’s nowhere to be found

What’s the worst that could happen
That could happen to me?
It takes my breath like a villain
It steals my heartbeat

It steals my heartbeat, it steals my heartbeat
Like a villain, like a villain, like a villain, like a villain

What’s the worst that could happen
That could happen to me?
It takes my breath like a villain
It steals my heartbeat

AFTERGLOW

I know you’re coming back around
I see you turn your head for me
I had a dream you were my baby
We were floating in the sea, you were holding on to me

You’ve got a fire in your eyes
Just like the center of the sun
I look away but it is too late
I’m already gone

I know you want to put your lips against my skin
It makes me feel like I am seventeen again
I want to stay here in this state I’m in all night (All night, all night)

Take me out for a drive where all the lovers go
I get the stars in my eyes when you move just so
It’s such a beautiful night
I’m in the afterglow, oh oh

Someone told me you were looking
Looking for a real thing
I can be your real baby
It’s the real that I bring

So blaze a trail with those bright eyes
And I will follow through the bends
I had a dream that we were sinking
Into a love that never ends

I know you want to put your lips against my skin
It makes me feel like I am seventeen again
I want to stay here in this state I’m in all night (All night, all night)

Take me out for a drive where all the lovers go
I get the stars in my eyes when you move just so
It’s such a beautiful night
I’m in the afterglow, oh oh

THE INFORMANT

This kind of thing burns hot and slow
It’s bound to scald the flesh if you don’t let it go
But who to tell and who to trust
And who remembers anything that you discussed?

It’s nuclear in foreign hands
Somebody better get it before they makes their plans
In the underground, in the dark of night
You deliver up a paper that brings it all to light

The informant sleeps with one eye open
He’s the only real hope, real hope
Of bringing them down
The informant sleeps with one eye open
He’s the only real hope, real hope
Of bringing them down

Corruption, lies and years of greed
They were thinking they would never really ever bleed
But you found a crack in their steel hearts
You stick the knife in deep and watch them break apart

The informant sleeps with one eye open
He’s the only real hope, real hope
Of bringing them down
The informant sleeps with one eye open
He’s the only real hope, real hope
Of bringing them down

Bridge: You have it all, you make the plan
But someone’s waiting with a gun in hand
You see the one you’re supposed to meet
But the bullets start flying right there in the street
If you turn back now you’ll have to disappear
Or kill yourself from living everyday in fear
CHORUS OUT

INNSAEI

Here I am with the rain on my face
On the floor of the forest, no steps to retrace
With a list of violations we’ve made
Against truth and wisdom and the quiet of the day

Innsaei, Innsaei
Waiting for the moment when you’re finally free
Innsaei, Innsaei
Swimming through the dark to the clear blue sea

When you bleed what shade does it run?
Is it dark the river or pale like the sun?
Pull the thread and it all comes undone
Does your heart give a warning like the beat of a drum?

Innsaei, Innsaei
Waiting for the moment when you’re finally free
Innsaei, Innsaei
Swimming through the dark to the clear blue sea

And I know you
Like a stone washed clean by the river’s edge
And I know you
Like a dream in a dream I already had
And I know you
Like the ground underneath my heavy head
And I know you

If I know what I’ve done is right
Then I shouldn’t be feeling this animal fright
Like a deer in the bright headlights
Just another survivor in the dark of the night

Innsaei, Innsaei
Waiting for the moment when you’re finally free
Innsaei, Innsaei
Swimming through the dark to the clear blue sea
Innsaei, Innsaei
Waiting for the moment when you’re finally free
Innsaei, Innsaei
Swimming through the dark to the clear blue sea

LEGEND OF THE SILVER MOON

Silver Moon, cast your shadow down, onto the troubled world
Show your face, I can feel the weight, I can feel the pull
Coyote calls, I follow the sound, I follow him down to the river
I make my way, by the shadows that dance from the light of the Silver Moon

Everything goes quiet, And the river becomes fire
And the fire rises high, To swallow up the sky……..

Silver Moon, where have you gone, and how will we find you tonight?
This angry fire, won’t share the sky, it’s gonna’ burn us alive, alive

All of the wild things, all of the water
All of the beasts and sons and daughters
Cowered to the fire, afraid of getting burned
‘Cause the thing they never learned
Is to fight for what they have not earned
The light, light of the Silver Moon

They fought with guns, they fought with bombs, they fought with angry words
They screamed so loud, like the echo of a million raging birds
Then Coyote called, tell the rain and the clouds, and all of the stars above
To find the Silver Moon, and fight the fire, fight the fire with love

And the fire rolls and turns, And the air around us burns
It spins a million times, And opens up the sky…….

All of the wild things, all of the water

Ooooh, Silver Moon,
All of the wild things, all of the water

SAFE FROM LOVE

You run from the things I say
From the light of day, from the bitter pain
And you run down the fire escape
From the breaking waves, from the love I gave

You flee down the easy road
Where love never goes, where love never goes
You flee down the corridor
From what’s in store, when you give it all away

You’re keeping safe from love
Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby

You trip on your own two feet
When you’re close to me, on the words you speak
You run from the smoking gun
And you come undone, from the things you start to feel

You’re keeping safe from love
Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby
You’re keeping safe from love
Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby

I’ll break you down, baby you’ll come around someday

You’re keeping safe from love

Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby

You’re keeping safe from love

Aren’t you baby, aren’t you baby

You don’t know when you’ve got it good, with a love that you should hold on to, but you let it slip away

TRANSCEDENTAL

I set out to be transcendental
But my mind won’t quiet
My mind won’t quiet

I set out to make my heart settle
But my body remains
A pounding rapid drum

QUIET, QUIET   (Settle down won’t you settle down)
QUIET, QUIET   (Leave me alone, won’t you leave me alone)
QUIET, QUIET   (Give me peace, just a moment of peace)
QUIET, QUIET

I try to tell my soul it’s fundamental
But the blood pounds in my head
And my pulse is wired

I know that I can be temperamental
And this state that I’m in
Won’t let me just be quiet

QUIET, QUIET   (Settle down won’t you settle down)
QUIET, QUIET   (Leave me alone, won’t you leave me alone)
QUIET, QUIET   (Give me peace, just a moment of peace)
QUIET, QUIET

OLIVIA

There is a storm that rips through all the houses
Tears them apart, leaving all disaster
You are the wind that makes it just get stronger
You are the wind

There is a rain that stays for 18 days
And knocks down the trees, and washes them away
You are the cloud that lingers high above
You are the cloud

Olivia, Olivia

You are a fire that starts just as an ember
Then comes the wind and gets you all riled up
And you blaze across the wilderness
Until the ocean meets your match

There is an ache that turns into a pain
And soon you can’t move
And it withers you away
But you love this state, and everyone will say
You welcome this pain

Olivia, Olivia

I will be your sun
Whoever knocks you down
Don’t fire all your guns

Olivia, Olivia, Olivia, Olivia

WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE

Underneath the shattered surface
Another hundred levels down
Is a darkness reaching further
Holding you there to drown

When you lose someone
When you lose someone

You can walk a million miles
Through the canyon in your mind
But when your heart is broken
You can’t run away from time

When you lose someone
When you lose someone

You see the hole get smaller
As you’re navigating through
Feels like floating in the water
Then you sink beneath the ever-changing blue

When you lose someone
When you lose someone

There’s a boulder where your lungs were
And it’s choking out the air
Every breath now a beginning
As your ravaged heart repairs

When you lose someone
When you lose someone

SETTING OF THE SUMMER SUN

Oh sun on my skin, let the healing begin
And the Winter blues and cool Spring hues
Turned warm shades of red to the orange as they bled
Into the ocean like a soul that’s found its home

Echos I hear from the sea coming clear
Have I wasted hours living with the
Fear of love being lost in a wave
Taken under ‘til it’s never seen again

I can’t hold you like an anchor anymore
There’s a way for me to want you and want more
And whatever parts of me have come undone
I’ll let them go with the setting of the summer sun

Oh love I can take so much then I break
Like a two-way mirror, you see me clearer
Now I go on and the things that went wrong
Are reflections of the way we chose to live

I can’t hold you like an anchor anymore
There’s a way for me to want you and want more
And whatever parts of me have come undone
I’ll let them go with the setting of the summer sun

BLACK STONE EP LYRICS

BLACK STONE

I was born a December child
Soft and wild, soft and wild
I was born on a snowy night
With a light in my eye, a light in my eye
Dirty hands and dirty knees
A tomboy in the redwood trees
I was born a nature’s child
Soft and wild, soft and wild

Paint my face with red dirt clay
Watch it dry and turn to gray
Hills of golden grasses sway
The rapture of a summer’s day

I was born in a sacred place
Where all those sacred lay in grace
I was born on a mountainside
Soft and wild, soft and wild
Sleeping lady majesty
I think of you, do you think of me?
A red tailed hawk on your highest peak
I dream of you, do you dream of me?

Hold the broken bird in hand
Sugar water, help it stand
As it flies away again
Part of you will never mend

Blackstone, Blackstone, Blackstone, like a mirror
Black Elk, Black Elk, Black Elk coming nearer
Blackstone, Blackstone, Blackstone, I can see her
Black Elk, Black Elk, Black Elk across the river

THE SIREN

The radio is screaming noise
It’s like a bullet in my head sometimes
I try to breathe
Can no one see
We stand in blindness to our own decline?

I had a dream
I dreamt of silence
I know a place where the light still finds us

Ah, I’m running to the river
I’m swimming through the water
Gonna’ lose all my clothes
Ah, the woods are my asylum
The hawk will call the siren
Of the way that it was

I don’t remember the smell of summer
The ice of winter on my frozen face
The war is coming
We should be running
Out to the edge where the light still waits

I try to think
I can’t recall
What it was like through the eyes of love

Ah, I’m running to the river
I’m swimming through the water
Gonna’ lose all my clothes
Ah, the woods are my asylum
The hawk will call the siren
Of the way that it was

Run, Run, Run

Ah, there’s darkness all behind us
The stars have come to find us and go leading us on

Chorus

GHOST OF MYKONOS

Honeymoon out on the Brilliance of The Seas
French Riviera down to southern Italy
Eastward bound to the Grecian Coast
They bring you champagne for the toast

Like a shadow on the wall I was to you
Fascinated by the story of the two
Have you seen so much joy?
I have seen so much joy

Oh, I won’t tell them anything
Oh, I won’t tell them anything
Even though the truth will set you free
Now you’re just a ghost of Mykonos
Drowning in a cobalt sea

You bragged of diamonds and of dowry that abound
Befriending strangers and you buy another round
Oh and how the absinthe flowed
That makes a mad man, don’t you know?

Oh, I won’t tell them anything
Oh, I won’t tell them anything
Even though the truth will set you free
Now you’re just a ghost of Mykonos
Drowning in a cobalt sea

And every night you’re in my dreams
The wind and stars hear your pleas

Next day the bride wakes down the hallway on the floor
No recollection of events the night before
I heard it all through the walls of my room
Now she is the wife of the missing groom

Oh, I won’t tell them anything
Oh, I won’t tell them anything
Even though the truth will set you free

Now you’re just a ghost of Mykonos

Drowning in a cobalt sea

GOLDEN BOY

In the morning light all those little things you did
They’re coming into focus, coming into focus in your head
And the sun across your face makes you look like a golden boy
But I didn’t see it coming, didn’t see it coming again

Lion heart, and the raging sea
Red like blood, that you hide from me

Oh, oh oh oh, you were right
You’ve got a wild side, you’ve got a wild side
Oh oh oh oh, it can’t be denied
You’re like the flood tide
You’ve got a wild side

Don’t you feel all the weight of the world on you
When you’re holding what you’re holding
Holding what you’re holding inside
It’s a crazy thing what real love can do
And you didn’t see it coming,
didn’t see it coming down the line

Burning coal beneath the ash
I see you now, we can’t go back

Oh, oh oh oh, you were right
You’ve got a wild side, you’ve got a wild side
Oh oh oh oh, it can’t be denied
You’re like the flood tide
You’ve got a wild side

Do all those things at night turn off your tragic light?
Do all those things at night turn off your tragic light?

The perfect mask of a common man
With a wounded heart and a master plan

Oh, oh oh oh, you were right
You’ve got a wild side, you’ve got a wild side
Oh oh oh oh, it can’t be denied
You’re like the flood tide
You’ve got a wild side
You’re like the flood tide

DRIFTER

Friend, you're a drifter to the end
And I still remember when
I could see you from the shore

And friend, if you make it back to land
Come and find me if you can
My heart will always live inside of yours

Oooh ooh ooh......
Oooh ooh ooh......

Once, we were young and wild and free
And you tied yourself to me
Like a safety boat, I knew I'd need you

Once, you would tell me everything
And we'd run and swim and sing
And if I ached, you would ache too

Oooh ooh ooh......

Oooh ooh ooh......

Oh friend, there's an ocean in the way
And some things I'd like to say
It doesn't help us to ignore

And friend, you're a drifter to the end
And I still remember when
I could see you from the shore

THE BELLE SOUNDS ALBUM LYRICS

BOURBON ON YOUR LIPS

You be the vase and I’ll be the flowers
I’ll be the minutes inside your hours
I’ll be the end to your bad day
If you be the thing I long to say

But don’t, don’t be mad at me
Don’t, don’t, don’t be mad

I’ll be the glow around your star
You can sing like strings on my guitar
I’ll be the bourbon on your lips
If you be the belt around my hips

But don’t, don’t be mad at me
Don’t, don’t, don’t be mad

There’s a pony that could ride us into the sun
And this is just a moment
In a moment it will be done, done, done

Don’t be mad at me
Don’t, don’t be mad at me

I’ll be the blue light in your flame
If you be the bulls eye to my aim
You be the sinker and the hook
I’ll be the last page of your book

SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE

Ever since I was I child
I was taught to feel like I don’t deserve you
And I’m haunted every night by the feeling
That I haven’t earned you
You tease me with a taste
Then make me feel like I’m going crazy
To care about something so illusive and so amazing

MONEY -- You make me feel so hollow
MONEY -- I have to beg or borrow
MONEY -- You know I feel so empty
When you say you’re going to come around
Somehow you know you always forsake me

I don’t trust myself around you enough
to make the right decisions
and you’re the only one that has the power
to change my opinions
and although I want to write you off
I keep getting this feeling
That someday you’re going to stick around
If only I could just keep believing

MONEY – You want to take me downtown
MONEY – You turn me all around
MONEY – You’ll probably leave me for another
The way that this is going
I don’t know why I even bother

Oooohhh, Ooohhhh…..
MONEY – don’t think that you can break me
MONEY – and don’t think that you make me
MONEY – I’ll see you somewhere down the line
You’ll be begging for forgiveness
‘cause you know that you should have been mine

AWAY AWAY

Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away

Like a wave on the ocean, won’t you bring it on home
‘Cause it’s escaping and taking the center of my heart
And as a toxic seed is planted deep in ground
We can’t cut it, or break it, or even burn it down
It becomes a thing and you stay

Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away

Well, I could go, just like you, I could disappear for days
Never knowing or feeling the building bitter pain
But as you touch me, I see into the water’s depth
And there’s a shining glimmer, a glimpse of what is left
Then it goes away

Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away

(Try try try try) Bring it on home
(Try try try try) Bring it on home

Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Bring it on home

CASSIOPEIA

There’s something different about you lately
I see the shadows around your eyes
Hear a different beat to your heart
But we all know how it is to try and stop once you start

You’re like a greyhound on a racetrack
Out of the gate you’re running fast
You’re going to wear yourself down
Take it easy on the first lap
There’s another time around

This is your warning
This is your warning
This is your warning

Don’t burn out, Cassiopeia
Don’t burn out, Cassiopeia
Don’t burn out, Cassiopeia
You still got light to give

You can kick this if you want to
Put on the gloves, get in the ring and start swinging left and right
Every day’s another chance, but every night’s another fight
You know you’re in a great position
You’re still young enough to change all of those little things
That later add up to changing everything

This is your warning
This is your warning
Let this be your warning

Don’t burn out, Cassiopeia
Don’t burn out, Cassiopeia
Don’t burn out, Cassiopeia
You still got light to give

THE STARRY EYED

There’s a ship leaving early in the morning
That’s full of people just like you and me
We’ll leave before the day that’s dawning
Where people live in fear of what they dream

You must forgive the starry eyed
‘cause they’ll always see things the way they do
And they live in a world where all the dreams have died
Forgive the starry eyed

Don’t fear us, come join us
‘Cause you know that you can’t do it all alone
The constellations will guide us
The moon will light us a path
All the way home

You must forgive the starry eyed
‘cause they’ll always see things the way they do
And they live in a world where all the dreams have died
Forgive the starry eyed

All that doubt will only drown you
Let it fall away like rain

They live in a world where all the dreams have dies
Yeah they live in a world where all the dreams have died

Forgive the starry eyed
Forgive the starry eyed
‘Cause they’ll always see things the way they do
And they live in a world where all the dreams have died
Forgive the starry eyed
Forgive the starry eyed

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

Can we get it back? Can we get it back?
Ooohhh that feeling we had, When we were young When we were young?

Drive up the coast and get lost in the hours
Ooooh, no one has to know
Hold me tight by the radio towers
The sun comes up, we’ll make it home somehow

Can we get it back? Can we get it back?
Ooohhh that feeling we had when we were young
When we were young

Grab our friends and head down to the river
Ooohh, the sun can burn our skin
Stay all day ‘til we start to shiver
And pass the bottle ‘round and ‘round again

Can we get it back? Can we get it back?

And as the years go something changes
And we’re not just living for ourselves
And when it all starts getting faded
We want to remember how it was

Can we get it back? Can we get it back?
Ooohhh that feeling we had when we were young
When we were young
Oh you know that feeling we had when we were young
When we were young
Ooohhh that feeling we had when we were young
When we were young

ROCKINGHAM LANE

I didn’t know you lived on Rockingham Lane
The yellow house with the baby blue porch swing
My aching heart could finally feel no pain
‘Til I saw your car go down Rockingham Lane

Rockingham Lane
Is where I saw my love again
Rockingham Lane

Like a moth to a flame, oh I got burned
After all these years you’d think my heart would learn
How many times I have driven past this way
Now I know you are here and you live on Rockingham Lane

Rockingham Lane
Is where I saw my love again
Rockingham Lane
Is where I saw my love again

Just like you I’ve been moving on
I’ve had so many different lovers since you’ve been gone
What is it love’s made of makes it sting so bad?
The bitter pain of losing that thing you never had

Rockingham Lane
Is where I saw my love again
Rockingham Lane
Is where I saw my love again
Rockingham Lane
It’s where I saw my love again
Rockingham Lane

NIGHT OWL

Night owl, Night Owl
You’re racing through the blue light to my side
Night owl, Night Owl
Quiet through the cool air, do you fly

Night owl, Night Owl
Is it just the thrill, which we seek?
Night owl, Night Owl
Be on your way, but you’ll come back to me

Darkness won’t you stay ‘til I go down
Darkness won’t you stay ‘til I go down

Night owl, Night Owl
Will you calm my mind and ease my heart
Night owl, Night Owl
Please just calm my mind and ease my heart

Darkness won’t you stay ‘til I go down
Darkness won’t you stay ‘til I go down

Night owl, Night Owl
The stars have left, the sky is turning bright
Night owl, Night Owl
And now you’re gone, I heard your wings take flight

Darkness won’t you stay ‘til I go down
Darkness won’t you stay ‘til I go down
Darkness won’t you stay ‘til I go down
Darkness won’t you stay ‘til I go down
‘til I go down

ISLAND

The sands could blow away
A wave could hit today
But it’s way down deep- what holds us up

The storms just passed us by
And somehow we survived another crazy night

We are an island, island
Nothing can touch us way out here
And all around us loves’ disasters
Are ships that fade then disappear

My friends keep giving up
And sink when water’s rough
But don’t fear, don’t fear, love will shine again

You’ll know it when it comes
The warmth of real sun
Can’t fool even the heartbroken one

We are an island, island
Nothing can touch us way out here
And all around us loves’ disasters
Are ships that fade then disappear

So hold on tight through weather and through war
Sometimes what’s right is to love each other more
In times of anger
in times when you can’t find the strength to be together

We are an island,
We are an island
Nothing can touch us way out here
And all around us loves’ disasters
Are ships that fade then disappear

JUST LIKE GOLD

It’s pretty clear, by now I know you’re not a friend
You launch ahead, you leave your dust for everyone
But there’s no race and there’s no ribbon to be won
Just a pretty face, alone again without anyone

For what you put me through
Well I can forgive but you can’t undo

It’s times like this I count my blessings
For what’s real and true
And I wish somehow I could take back the love I gave to you
‘Cause it’s just like gold
In proper hands it can buy everything
But you spent it fast like cold hard cash
Now you have nothing

For what you put me through
Well I can forgive but you can’t undo

So what’s so hard, what could be so hard about trusting?
This ain’t no game
If you play your Queen I won’t play my King
I’m not here to trump you
I was only trying to be like golden wings
To an injured bird lying on the ground
With a song to sing

For what you put me through
Well I may forgive but you can’t undo
For what you put me through
Ooooh I, I, I can forgive but you can’t undo
Ooooh I, I, I can forgive but you can’t undo
Ooooh I, I, I can forgive but you can’t undo

SPARROW’S CRY

The trees are blooming crazy in this town
The light has changed, and sun is sticking ‘round
The chill is through, the chill is through
Sometimes I need the comfort of your voice
And I know the consequences of my choice
But I think of you, I think of you

Ooooohh I hear a lonely sparrow cry
And as fast as winter’s here it says goodbye
Oh but time with you can always heal my heart
As it’s done from the very start

The fireflies will soon be on their way
And I finally had some time I could escape
The Texas sun, the Texas sun
And even just a couple days with you
You clear away the haze that makes me blue
In California sun, California Sun

Ooooohh I hear a lonely sparrow cry
And as fast as Spring is here it says goodbye
Oh but time with you can always heal my heart
As it’s done from the very start

And summer flies by and days you can’t recount
And the birds are back again
And I’m fine for the most part, but I could always use a friend

Of all the years that we have been apart
It’s funny how I never feel that far
Away from you, away from you
oooohhhh

Ooooohh I hear a lonely sparrow cry
And as fast as Autumn’s here it says goodbye
Oh but time with you can always heal my heart
As it’s done from the very start
Ooooohh I hear a lonely sparrow cry
And as fast as Winter’s here it says goodbye
Oh but time with you can always heal my heart
As it’s done from the very start As it’s done from the very start
