My mind is littered with unwanted thoughts,
in my heart the remnants of feelings I’ve lost.
The nights that I spent out destroying myself,
now I let ‘em sneak in like a disease.
Just to blow me away.
I’m out of this storm keeping afloat
So here I’m standing with nothing to say,
the person I’ve been is no longer to blame.
I’m now heading nowhere, far from what we were.
The most that I can do for you is to keep on lying,
just to blow you away
I’m out of this storm keeping afloat
Can’t you see? The sun is shining.

There’s a big tree in the place we planted
three seeds of pomegranate
Roots have been growing deep
Well I’m growing weary dear
of picking up leaves
this place never stayed this cold
So let me come home
how come we got this far?
tell me love
tell me love
it’s your bluff that I’m calling now
Cause I can still be ruthless
if you want me to
And you can still pretend
to be this blind
How come we got this far?
how come we got this far?
When we’re going nowhere at all
So let me come home
it’s time I come home

Oh the view from here is nothing you have seen
Yeah it feels so good but it seems so hard to understand
and I can’t blame you it’s okay if you prefer to stay there
in that tidy nest with flowers on the bars
go on sing along little sparrow in the cage
I can let you out if you say you’re not afraid
And I wonder why we choose to choke our instinct
I wanna see you fly bird and leave the world behind
Cause I may look like a fool to fall like a do but at least I’m true
and I’m a dying breed that’s for sure
go on sing along little sparrow in the cage
I can let you out if you say you’re not afraid
I won’t stop you if you want to fly away
there’s no need to be afraid
cause your love is safe with me
oh your love is safe with me
cause your love’d be safe with me
oh your love’d be safe with me

Salt on my wounds
and I’m stoned, stolid and bruised
hiding from you
I wear out my guts
deconstructing my sins
and she’s waiting there for me
I’m on the edge of passing out
and she’s tangled up here
under my sheets
So knock me out, before I let you down
Cause this is what I do best now
Feels like running barefoot on shards
and I can’t help but stumble
Feels like crawling naked in snow
And I can’t help but burn down
when you’re not around here
when you’re not around here
when you’re not around here
is it blood on my hands?
have I murdered our love?
Cause it’s blood on my hands
so please
get me out of here

Down this mountain
Down this path
There’s a city where we can
start all over once again
Down this river there’s the hope
to find the man I used to be
to find this missing part of me
You are all that it takes
to put a smile on my face
you are all that it takes
to put some colors in this place
If you feel like a snowflake
if you feel like there’s no way out of here
hang on
don’t panic
It’s gonna be alright
if you’re right here next to me
You are all that it takes
to put a smile on my face
you are all that it takes
to put some colors in this place
