I can't see you go like this, and I need you, you to know
What's done ain't done easily there's a reason here, now you know
It's like there's a part of me, that I've bound up here, here with you
There's more than one part of me, that could care a, about you
We started as enemies, yeah we started so apart
Then fate turned her hand to us, started pulling at, at our hearts
The stars were our witnesses' as we held off all, all our doubts
But time was the final card, that we spoke of with, with our hearts
CHORUS:
Moonlight guide my way
Despite it being day
Moonlight guide my path
And bring us safely back
Replace me with anything, please replace me in, in your heart
I'm not one for succeeding, no I;m failing you from the start
I'm losing my hand for this, yeah I'm killing part of me
Replace me with something else, only then you will, will be free
CHORUS 2:
Tell me what to say
And thought I'm so afraid
Moonlight guides my way
To live another day

We stood so tall like statues do
And cast our hearts up at the moon
The magic stalled and then it grew
The hatred came and then we knew
The darkness came into our hands
Divided men from in our midst
They were the powder, we were the wick
Their fire grew, they made us sick
The smoke was wide as it was thick
And we absolved ourselves of them
But we are not blameless
CHORUS:
We are the same as you
Your words reveal the truth
But we are all the same
We are the same as you
We share the blame with you
Cause we are all the same
We pushed and pulled the way to war
The more you did the more we saw
The path was laid unto our feet
We did our best to be discreet
But stealth did not disguise our hearts
And we are not blameless

The Power Of You And Me
03:01
|
|||
I took my place in a world where the people knew
That doing bad for the good could be what we'd do
But in the end, all our best was our worst mistake
Cause all we did, in the end, all we did was take
All want is change
All we did was blame
All this empty hate
For that magic place
CHORUS:
And I believe in you
And what we said we'd do
We are discovering something new
Me & you
You took my hand, said you'd stand, on this promise made
There was a storm, and we stood, in the pouring rain
I never knew, one like you, could be what I'd need
And much like truth, all your love, made me feel so free
Racing t'ward the end
With my two best friends
Fighting to defend
Damage we can mend
CHORUS 2:
So please believe in me
And what you might yet see
The power of belief
You & me

The Right Thing
04:36
|
|||
Looking at a portrait of a man I'll never be
In 20/20 lenses through a rose tint memory
Life throws circumstances at you and you better best believe
That things are getting harder, getting harder...
There are certain lessons that you only learn by force
And hopefully you only need to learn these lessons once
In a tidal wave of grief you lose the ones you love
And everything gets harder, it gets harder...
CHORUS:
And all the magic in these lands
Could never match determined hands
And all the wrongs lie in the past
The present shapes the future's path
What we do makes who we are
What we do makes who we are and we're doing the right thing
I can promise one thing in this life we both now lead
That some days will be slower and then others will be brief
And when you find me sinking to the floor and on my knees
Remind me of our father, of our father
HARROW:
I can promise one thing in this life you'll have to lead
That time will move away in seconds and at break neck speed
Before you know it you'll be looking more and more like me
When you'll become a father, things get harder

I Thought I Loved You
04:07
|

Darling, I thought I loved you
But you were lying to me
And when I was empty
I thought you might come fill me
But I was a dreamer
And you were my dream
Now I see you completely
Now your words don't comfort me
Darling I thought I loved you
From those days beside that tree
But here inside this moment
I see now what you believe
That we are the dreamers
And this is the dream
But now I see completely
And your words write history
But we've got history
CHORUS:
Nothing is ever as simple as you ever made it sound
And I've got this memory of you and I'm gonna lay it down
Yeah I'm gonna let you down
Darling I thought I loved you
But every step you took
That I can't follow
No I can't even look
Your heart is made of water
And mine is made of oil
We can be together
But we'll never mix that well
No we'll never mix that well

I don't know if I'll ever feel the way I did before right now
I'm just lying on this bed without a twitch or a sound
Maybe I could write about this in a poem?
I can't count the syllables or all the ways I've let you down
Or number them in order of severity
Maybe I could reinvent myself?
CHORUS:
If I can do anything, I can do anything wrong
So now I can't do anything, I can't do anything...bad
Keep your tears I'll be running my own race
At least metaphors nothing there to break
Except that old 4th wall but I'll tell you that isn't my style
All these years trying to be what our father wanted us to be
Maybe it is time for us to just believe in ourselves if only for a while...
Face your fears or be paralysed from all the guilt you have inside
But what I should have done is runaway and hide
Grammatically that phrase is incorrect
Kill a dear and syphon out it's energy into a spell
I'm so grateful for all your efforts
Though it's almost tell that something isn't quite the way it was

Desperate
04:47
|
|||
Locked in a room & staring at mirrors
Your vision gets blurred, but you can see clearer
I look at you, I see what you do
Nobody cares they're pulling you deeper
Humanity's slope is getting much steeper
I'm looking at you, I see what is true
Waving your hands, the danger is growing
But they'll come for you, intentions are showing
They're looking at you, don't see what I do
Picture a world that's safe and endearing
Achieving this though, it takes engineering
So what do we do? What point do we prove?
CHORUS:
Desperate times call for desperate measures
And desperate men forget consequences
Right & wrong are just quaint points of view
When sharks are involved & they're circling you
Desperate times & these desperate measures
Who do you trust, the man in the mirror?
The voice in your ear is pulling the trigger
The spark in my voice, you're making your choice
Stuck in a room, ambitions are growing
The cards are laid out, your heart beat is slowing
The knife in your hand, is not what you planned
I never lie, but am I a liar?
You want to see light, you best build a fire
But you might get burned, cause you never learn
Moves & removed, react & re-address
The fire is on, it's warming the furness
So what have you done? It's only begun...
CHORUS:
Desperate times call for desperate measures
And desperate men forget consequences
Right & wrong are just quaint points of view
When dark magic's involved and it's ruining you
Desperate times & these desperate measures

We stand on shoulders tall
And though we feel so small
Our hands can hold it all
This place we have been given
We push our way to war
No matter what we saw
Forge steel to make a sword
Instead of just our prison
We wield this blade with hate
Make beauty into pain
And paint it like the rain
Across this place we live in
A shadow in our hearts
That grows each day more dark
And magic was the start
Of where we had this vision
Behold the age of man
Where hatred makes it's stand
Behold the age of men
Set fire and start again
