I've seen it in your eyes
Disappointment and distaste
The reoccuring patterns
Countless hours gone to waste
I've watched you change your balance
But the formula repeats
Haunting voices calling you
To walk along their dead end streets

They need to hear the words from you
They want to know this to be true

So cut deep
Deeper than you've ever did before
No matter what you give they still want more
The dead weight has to go although it hurts
'Cause you're losing altitude

Like an offering to burn
They lay there burdened down
The bitterness of blood and tears
Dig deep into the ground
(Deep into the ground)
Where root shoots right beneath
An ancient mountain tree
The acrid smoulder of a sacrifice
Embrace you like a hazy bay

They need to hear the words from you
They want to know this to be true

Cut deep
Deeper than you've ever did before
No matter what you give they still want more
The dead weight has to go although it hurts
'Cause you're losing altitude
Deep
Deeper than you've ever did before
No matter what you give they still want more
The dead weight has to go although it hurts
'Cause you're losing altitude

(Losing altitude)
(Losing altitude)
(Losing altitude)
(Losing altitude)
				

The practise of harmony
Is a delicate thing
The tension preceding
The bow and the string

It's just how you phrase it
It's not what you mean
The art of precision
Will keep your cuts clean

Until the day
You're faced with a beast
That no one can tame
Until the day
You're caught in a storm
Of what you became

Then, virtues and creed
Scatter like pearls from a chain
A chain
Blood on the ground
Washing away with the rain
The rain
Away with the rain

Peace of mind
Is a balancing act
Convenience dictates
What you add and subtract

A transient construct
Believe and deny
All truth is simple
Is that not doubly a lie?

Until the day
You're faced with a beast
That no one can tame
Until the day
You're caught in a storm
Of what you became

Virtues and creed
Scatter like pearls from a chain
A chain
Blood on the ground
Washing away with the rain
The rain
Away with the rain

The practise of harmony
Is a delicate thing
The tension preceding
The bow and the string

It's just how you phrase it
It's not what you mean
Is that not doubly a lie?

Virtues and creed
Scatter like pearls from a chain
A chain
Blood on the ground
Washing away with the rain
Falling, falling, falling
				

Fate
Ephemeral bursts of light
Sweep across the sky
A pulsar in the night
Painting dreams and loss
Across a sea of hope and lies
Silent screams
Echo through your eyes

It's what you have longed for
What you could become

Pharos
Pharos
Pharos

Pain
Like a fragile fading map
It carving out the lies
Seeking contours in the black

It's what you have longed for (Longed for)
What you have become (Have become)
So keep alight the fire (Fire)
Even when the light is gone

Pharos
(Pharos) It's what you have longed for
(Pharos) What you have become
(Pharos) Keep alight the fire
(Pharos) When the light is gone

Oh
Can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never find our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment
How can it feel this wrong?

Storm in the morning light
I feel, no more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right
Surely that ain't right

Oh
Can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never find our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment
How can it feel this wrong?

How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment
How can it feel this wrong?

Oh
Can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never find our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment
How can it feel this wrong?
				

A-HA cover, feat. Einar Solberg de Leprous

We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say, my boat's leaving now
So we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

You know
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to run away
I don't want to raise this pain
I'll never see your face again

Oh, but how
How can you say that I didn't try
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That my love's run dry, no

I leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain brings back words of a song
And they say wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

You know
I don't want to fall again
I don't want to know this pain
I don't want another friend
I don't want to try again
I never want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again

How can you say that I didn't try?
You know I did
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That my love's run dry
I don't want to cry again

So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
