Promises (Divided)

A lonely burning candle
The flicker of a reassuring flame
A house to keep you from harm
Words to ease your pain
The lure of the familiar
A picture-perfect scene of love and fear
A pact you made with yourself
The whispers in your ear
What if they got it wrong?
They promised you salvation.
You put your faith in everything they said.
“Your friends are waiting for you,
A place to lay your head”.
What if they got it wrong?
What if they got it wrong?

A falling leaf
An open flame
A tinder box
A fateful day
It’s all for you
It’s all for you
Everything
A reckless act
A fall from grace
A bleeding heart
A trust misplaced
It’s all for you
It’s all for you
Everything
It’s all for you
It always was
It’s all for you
Everything
Everything

Give me the operation I need.
Stop the bleeding, stem the flow, apply the tourniquet.
Clean up after all is done with, mop up spills, dry the sheets, begin the therapy.
Feed me up and build me up, so I leave with my spleen vented, my eyes pinned and my veins injected, my mind healed and my soul corrected. Please sew up the holes you left in me.
Shaved head, attach electrodes, I trust you completely, rid me of painful memories. Make me a better person, heal me, apply the lotion, change me to the perfect citizen.
Feed me up and build me up, so I leave with my spleen vented, my eyes pinned and my veins injected, my mind healed and my soul corrected. Please sew up the holes you left in me.

The moment that
You lose control
The moment that
It all takes over you.
It's not your fault.
Loosen your grip
Just open up.
Let it flow over you.
Wind in your hair.
Cobwebs away.
You'll wonder why,
you waited all this time.
Its what you want.
Its what you want.
Your secret self.
The life you almost had.
I get it now.
I understand.
Just one more chance
Next time i’ll get it right
Your just desserts.
So go ahead.
Its there for you.
What are you waiting for?
Wind in your hair.
Cobwebs away.
You'll wonder why,
you waited all this time.
Its what you want.
Its what you want.
Your secret self.
The life you almost had.
There it is.
There it is.
I can see.
Now I see everything.
There it is.
There it is.
I see it now.
I see perfectly.

Did something get the better of you?
The joke was wearing thin?
Did something eat away at you?
Too much to keep it in?
Well you could knock yourself to the ground.
Or throw yourself away.
You could lock yourself up now,
and not come out again.
Today it seems unthinkable
But the sun tomorrow shines
and all the battles lost and won
Are blessings in disguise
I don't know what the answer is.
I don't know what to say.
You could run and scream and shout.
We know you're not to blame.
We know you're not to blame.
We know you're not to blame.
I know it's unbelievable
This all will soon be done
So rest up and be patient now.
The best is still to come
Today it seems unthinkable
But the sun tomorrow shines
and all the battles lost and won
Are blessings in disguise
But nothing's insurmountable.
Some things are worth the pain.
We all know it's not your fault.
No one here's ashamed.

Moments Passed (Divided)

We could easy sit here all
Evening, thinking up things to
Believe in, just to watch them dissolve.
We just might have laid there all
Night, just talking until it was
light then forget everything that we'd said
I can't quite believe, I just didn't see, that the things that I'd longed for were already passing by me
I could easy think of a
Million details that I would do
Different, if I could have my time again.
But I still raise my glass to those
Days, with time on our hands just to
Chase our tails as the seasons rolled on.
I still can't believe, I just didn't see, that the things that I'd longed for, were already passing by me.
I wouldn't be told, as we watched it unfold... that the sunlight would fade out so soon as the evening took hold. (The evening takes hold).
(And I should call all of those
People that I not so long ago needed
Before its too late in the day)

I’ve been waiting for you to fly away with me.
To take me by the hand, and show me things I’ve never seen.
The roads and rivers are pencil lines from where we are.
The towns and cities are nothing now, we’ve come so far.
Its there we lay by the river.
Its there we lay on the ground.
Its there we stay till the morning.
Till it all came crashing down.
Away, away.
Away, away.
Away, away.
Away, away.

Now there's nothing to be done
Read it out now, one by one
Let's all look away, let's all look the other way
In our favourite chair we try and find the will to care
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
What was that? What did he say?
It doesn't matter either way
Always ends the same, the same conclusion to a different game
And you can rear your head but I've found something else instead
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
Let's all look away
