Charlotte Martin - On Your Shore (2005) by Charlotte Martin (보컬) on maniadb.com

I dig my heels into the dirt
'Cause this one's gonna hurt
Won't let the waves wash me away
Is what I always pray
In my heart I know you couldn't see
In the dark or find your way through me
Now I'm alone, my hands are numb
How do I carry on?

At the turn of the tide
I feel this part of me die
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?

Now I'm held hostage in my head
With every word you said
God, all those lessons in my past
I spit them out so fast
I see myself with you, I act so small
I see myself with you, I always crawl
So someone leave a raft for me
The water's getting deep

At the turn of the tide
I feel this part of me die
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?

Here I am in my insecurity
Here I am in my damaged dignity
Here I am, you're pulling me in too deep
Here I am
Here I am, I'm in the mercy seat
Here I am, running without my feet
Here I am, oh what's come over me?
Here I am

When I was melting in your hand
You didn't understand
You slip through me like grains of sand
You still don't understand
Overboard, I'm thrown out to see
What you are and what I mean to me
But I will always have my dream where you can swim to me

At the turn of the tide
I feel this part of me die
I've been on your shore before
And it was no waste of time
Over my head and in my mind
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?

I can't cry, I can't understand
Can't we give in or give up my plan?
And we were swimming in the water with no hands

And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be all right
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes, goes where nobody knows

You're the light on the darkest me
Don't back out 'cause you cannot see
And though our instincts say that we should turn and run

And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be all right
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes, goes where nobody knows

And when the world is crashing down
I'll throw it on my back for you
When you're paralyzed and bound
I'll be waging war, my love
My love, my love

And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be all right
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes, goes where nobody knows

Would you like the chance
To shatter heaven?
Would you like to be the one who
Pulls the sky down just for me?
Round and round and round we run
And pretend the sun is all you need

I've never known a moment
To be frozen
You're making deals with minutes that
Will slip away, just slip away
So starve the garden, stop the rain
Winter settles on my petals anyways
Anyways

Is your armor thin again
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?

Nothing into something into nothing
Every rule you break means
There's no turning back, no looking back.
The words that I could never say
The clutter that is in your way
Is nothing new
Nothing new

Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?

Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?

Wandering between the girl
You search for and the one you leave
And I cannot wait

Chasing you around the room is tempting
So near and far away from
Meaning anything to you
But just remember if you're jumping
I would start my jump off
Running after you

Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?

Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Am I worthy to come in?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Do you want to be found?

Every time it rains I listen to the sky
And wonder what's so great about sunshine
Everybody lives and everybody dies
And no one's gonna love you like I do

When it was getting dark
I didn't need a match
I never needed light to see you
You thought I disappeared
But I was always here
I could never get that far from you

Though I misunderstand
And been misunderstood
So love me 'cause you can
And not because you should

Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive

Take it as it comes
And take me as I am
I never was a good imposter
But I know how to dream
And don't know where I stand
I'm willing to admit I try too hard
Stop playing with my heart
I'm waiting by the phone
Afraid to be myself
Afraid to be alone

Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
And every time it rains
I'm gonna hide myself inside

I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive

Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive

The lost and insincere
They think I need to hear what's in their empty eyes, eyes, eyes
We're few and far between
We've hardly been serene
But stand up to their lies, lies, lies

We are steel
We don't feel anything at all

He took me in arms
But then he squeezed too hard
He wouldn't let me breathe, breathe, breathe
It's been too many years
I've hurt too many times
To give up everything, thing, thing

I am steel
I don't feel anything at all

The way I've been confused
The way that I've been used
And spit out on your dime
And still you lead me on
And still you tear me down
And say it's in my mind

Well I've seen hell and back
I've hidden in the dark
With no one there at all, all, all
I've scraped us back to life
I've laced up both my boots
So try and twist the knife, knife, knife

I am steel
I don't feel anything at all
We are steel
We don't feel anything at all
We don't feel anything at all
Anything at all
Anything at all
Anything at ahhhhhhh

Ode to joy, my lover boy's speaking in tongues
And the sky's bleeding gray
Now I pull my bag o' prayers out
I hope to find one to save the day

And he judged my love, my lust
My taste with the straightest face
As I crumple up inside
A papier-mache, a shell with no name

Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here

And he took me further than I wanted to go
Underneath his shoe
And it leaves me hungry for a touch I can't feel
A touch he won't do
And I thought the circle, it had an end
I'm old enough to know
My denial is how we began and how we will end
And now that I know

Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here

Oh, the blood that's in my veins
So cold and frozen from the stings
Oh, he comes and goes in waves
Am I really here?

Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Can we leave him a trail of my tears?
Sweet chariot
It's been, it's been the longest of years
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here

I woke up this morning and my head, i started roaming
Now nothing's right, nothing's right
Don't remember being born, don't know why we're being torn
Now nothing's right, nothing's right
I open up my mouth just to let the demon shout
'Bout my dirty little schemes, that the wettest of my dreams are you
Nothing's right, nothing's right

Over and over I'm feeling the same of loneliness
And under me, under me feeling the madman

I'm breaking off a piece of what's left of what was me
But it feels all right, it feels all right
I'm laying on your road 'cause I thought that it might hold
It feels all right, feels all right
Do I wanna take a bet, is this as good as it'll get?
And I cannot get away from the comfortable, familiar chains
Nothing's right, nothing's right

Over and over I'm feeling the same of loneliness
And under me, under me feeling the madman
Over and over it's chilling, the things I've let you miss
And if you're a miracle, I am the madman

And I'm sorry I didn't build your walls and
I'm sorry I had to go and fall and
I'm sorry I had the whole thing wrong and
Well I guess I'm the sorriest of all
And I'm sorry that you are feeling small and
I'm sorry that I'm not used to crawling
I'm sorry the writing's on the wall and
Well I guess I'm the sorriest
I guess I'm the sorriest of all

I woke up this morning and my head, it started roaming
Now nothing's right, nothing's right
Don't remember being born, don't know why we're being torn
Now nothing's right, nothing's right
You said you don't identify with my sort of petrified outlook
On the pride that I've managed to ignore so long
Nothing's right
Nothing's right
Nothing's right
Nothing's right
But it seems all right
Seems all right

It's 3 AM and I have been in my head for quite some time
Every fear, every tear has been swirling in my mind
And there are still a hundred reasons I shouldn't walk away
Do I love you if I leave you? You have no name

I was up all night
Waiting for some kind of miracle
I was up all night
Feeling all alone in the universe
I was up all night

When morning comes, I will tell you it's life I have to chase
But every song that I sing will be written by your face
And if you're really meant to be then you'll be back again
And I watch as your beginning turns into the end

I was up all night
Waiting for some kind of miracle
I was up all night
Feeling all alone in the universe
If it's you or if it's me I save
I'm still throwing it all away
I was up all night

With a kick inside in the dark you hide
And we both know how the end will be
In your little tide with your eyes shut wide
And we both know how the end will be
How it will be

I was up all night
Waiting for some kind of miracle
I was up all night
Feeling all alone in the universe
If it's you or if it's me I save
I'm still throwing it all away
I was up all night

Watch yourself before you crawl inside somebody else
Were you here to trap me like a thousand bottled tears?
Even though you disappeared with no goodbye, I see you almost everywhere
You're everywhere

I'm haunted
And all I see is you
I'm haunted
All I need is you
There is no one else
There is no one else except for you

I still dream; I won't give up until I wear your ring
Violate; and if you do it, try not to be late
A hundred winters make the spring insane
A hundred nights without you, I'm not okay
I'm not okay

I'm haunted
And all I see is you
I'm haunted
All I need is you
And I can't go too far to find out where you are
I'm haunted
And all I see is you
I'm haunted and
Everyone is you
And there is no one else, there is no one else

The memory burns so deep in my heart through the hollow hours
You're close to me, I can feel, I can feel

I'm haunted
I'm haunted
I'm haunted
And all I see is you
I'm haunted
And everyone is you and there is no one else
There is no one else except for you

Her hands are in the air again
Stripped of pride
She was waiting for a sign to be let in
She tried to stop a train for him
Without shoes
And he was so amused, amused

She needs a reason to parade on
She needs a new road to pave
She needs a reason to parade on
It's wearing her outsides thin
There's someone there to save

You wonder why she gives and gives
Till it burns
And there is nothing he can give her in return
She'll live and die by make-believe
Her frozen heart
Well he can't wait around while she gets blown apart

She needs a reason to parade on
She needs a new road to pave
She needs a reason to parade on
It's wearing her outsides thin
There's someone there to save

The distance won't know which way you should go
'Cause we are not built so we can float
We are what we are
But that seems so far
Parting the Red Sea is easier, easier

It's time to introduce herself
She's dethroned
Like some lonesome dusty book upon his shelf

She needs a reason to parade on
She needs a new road to pave
She needs a reason to parade on
It's wearing her outsides thin
There's someone there to save, oh
And there's nothing I can say
And there's nothing I can say

Hello boys
Got directions to the bombshell factory?
And a bowflexing nightmare tendency?
Hesitate, where's the tape, my retired beauty queen?

Hello girls
Truth can make you stare into the mirror for hours
And can lip gloss save a nation, Mr. Powers?
Come into what's my own disappear zone

Close my ears
Close my eyes
In a world of a stupid girl and in her stupid dress size
So who are we?
Who's the judge, and are you something like a hero?

No mistakes
Different versions of the girl right next to you
And I'm knocking on your door and can't get through
And I cry and I sigh and I try
To close my ears
And close my eyes
In the world of a stupid girl and in her pettiest of lies
So who are we?
Who's the judge, and are you something like a hero?

Dull sensations push them to the wall
Oh to the walls, yeah
And the thorns that fall have the guts to walk upon them all

Halfway there
I was waiting by the phone for you to care
And I can't make a seed grow anywhere
So I wait, so I wait, are you out there?

Close my eyes
Close my ears
In the world of a stupid girl and in her shallowest of fears
Who are we?
Who's the judge and are you something like a hero?

You can't judge the love by the lover
The sky by its thunder
The road with no sign
You can't make the snow fall in summer
Or make him not want her
And not leave you behind
Maybe he'll stay in touch years down the road
And hope that he's still on your mind

The sun may come up and go down again
I'll still swear it's a beautiful life

Maybe we'll meet up in Denver
Talk about weather, talk of old times
I know every word that we said was what we both meant
Well we meant it at the time
Promise me that you'll be standing up straight
Chasing rivers and shadows and time

The sun may come up and go down again
I'll still swear it's a beautiful life

Time flies
Time cries
Time flies
Time cries

So swim to the end of the river
Until there's no shiver left in your spine
Live like there won't be tomorrow
See through your sorrow
See through your own eyes
Try to remember these days down the road
And try to remember this time

The sun may come up and go down again
I'll still swear it's a beautiful life

The sun may come up
The sun may go down
The sun may come up
The sun may go down
The sun may come up
The sun may go down
I'll still swear it's a beautiful life
