Time it took us
To where the water was
That’s what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh my love don’t forsake me
Take what the water gave me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
And oh poor atlas
The world’s a beast of a burden
You’ve been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the shields are left to rust
That’s what the water gave us
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
‘Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You could have it any other way
‘Cause she’s a crueller mistress
And the bargain must be made
But oh my love don’t forget me
But I let the water take me
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the over flow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow yeah....

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way

I'm always dragging that horse around
All of these questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
Given half the chance would I take any of it back?
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found a devil in me
Looking for heaven, found a devil in me
But what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

And I had a dream
About my old school
And she was there all pink
and gold and glittering
I threw my arms
around her legs
Came to weeping
Came to weeping
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me
I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be
so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was
to stand and fight
And my body was loose
and I was set alight
But she came over me
like some holy rite
And although I was burning
you're the only light
Only if for a night
In the grass was so green
against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels
in your honour
Dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials
Before the service began
In the graveyard
doing handstands
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me
I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be
so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was
to stand and fight
And my body was loose
and I was set alight
But she came over me
like some holy rite
And although I was burning
you're the only light
Only if for a night
Madam, my dear, my day
Tell me what all this
sayings about
Tell me what all this
sayings about
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me
I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be
so practical
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night

Time it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love, don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
And oh, poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on
a long time
And all this longing
And the shields are left to rust
That's what the water gave us
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
'Cause they took
your loved ones
But returned them
in exchange for you
But would you have it
any other way
Would you have it
any other way
You could have had it
any other way
'Cause she's a crueller mistress
And the bargain must be made
But oh, my love
don't forget me
when I let the water take me
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the over flow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight
on the sea
Reflections still
look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful
in the deep
Cathedral where
you cannot breathe
No need to pray
no need to speak
Now I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down
to the sea bed
Found the place
to rest my head
let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
And the arms of
the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion
was rushing out of me
In the crushes of heaven
for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean
delivered me
Though the pressures
hard to take
It's the only way
I can escape
It seems a heavy
choice to make
And now I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down
to the sea bed
Found the place
to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
And the arms of
the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion
was rushing out of me
In the crushes of heaven
for a sinner like me
But the arms of
the ocean delivered me
And it's over
And I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So So cold and so sweet
And the arms of the ocean
So sweet and so cold
And all this devotion
I never knew at all
In the crushes of heaven
for a sinner released
But the arms of
the ocean delivered me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
And it's over
And I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet

All alone
It was always there, you see
And even on my own
It was always
standing next to me
I can see it coming
from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand
in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now
Oh, I think
I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down
All alone
Even when I was a child
I've always known
There was something
to be frightened of
And I can see it coming
from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand
in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now
Oh, I think
I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think
I'm breaking down
All alone
On the edge of sleep
My old familiar friend
Comes and lies down next to me
And I can see you coming
from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Even with my eyes shut tight
I still see you coming now
I think, I'm breaking down again
I think, I'm breaking down again
I think, I'm breaking down again
I think, I'm breaking down again

I've been losing sleep
I've been keeping
myself awake
I've been wandering
the streets
For days and days and days
Oh if I'm row to row
Back to back,
Lover to lover,
And black to red,
But I believe,
I believe
There's no salvation
for me now
No space among the clouds
And I've seen that
I'm heading down,
that's alright,
That's alright,
That's alright
That's alright
And I've been taking chances,
I've been setting myself up
for the fall,
I've been keeping secrets,
From my heart and
from my soul.
Going from row to row,
Back to back,
Lover to lover,
Black to red,
But I believe,
I believe
There's no salvation for me now,
No space among the clouds,
And I've seen
I'm heading down
But that's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
Row to row
Back to back,
And lover to lover,
And black to red,
And row to row,
Back to back,
And lover to lover
No space among the clouds
And I feel I'm heading down
But that's alright,
That's alright,
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
Row to row
Back to back
And lover to lover
And black to red
And row to row
Back to back
Lover to lover
to lover to lover
to lover to lover
to lover to lover
to lover to lover
to lover to lover
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now

you are holding my hand
you are the space in my bed
you are the silence
in between what I thought
and what I said
you are the night time fear
you are the morning
when it's clear
but, it's over your start
you're my head
you're my heart
no light, no light
in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight
could be so violent
a revolition in the light of day
you can chose what stays
and what fades away
and I'd do anything
to make you stay
no light, no light, no light
tell me what you
want me to say
you are the crowded islands,
crying out at me
in your place there were
a thousand other places
I will dissapear in plain sight
heaven help me,
I need to make it right
you are the revolition,
you are to get it right
but, it's a conversation,
I just can't help tonight
you are the revolition,
some kind of revolution
you are the revolition
no light, no light
in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight
could be so violent
a revolition in the light of day,
you can chose what stays
and what fades away
and I'd do anything
to make you stay
no light, no light, no light
tell me what you
want me to say
but would you leave me,
If I told you what I've done
and would you need me,
If I told you what I’ve become
but it's so easy,
to sing it so cold
but it's so hard, my love,
to say it to you, all alone
no light, no light
in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight
could be so violent
a revolition in the light of day,
you can chose what stays
and what fades away
and I'd do anything
to make you stay
no light, no light, no light
tell me what you want me to say
you are the revolition
you are to get it right
but, it's a conversation,
I just can't help tonight
you are the revolition,
some kind of revolution.
you are the re-volition.
you are the re-volition,
you are to get it right.
but, it's a conversation,
I just can't help tonight.
you are the re-volition,
some kind of revolution
tell me what you want me to say

holy water cannot help you now
a thousand armies
couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money
I don't want your crown
see I've come to burn
your kingdom down
holy water cannot help you now
see I've come to burn
your kingdom down
and no rivers and no lakes
can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes
I'm gonna smoke you out
seven devils all around me
seven devils in my house
see they were there
when I woke up this morning
I'l be dead
before the day is done
seven devils all around you
seven devils in your house
see I was dead
when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead
before the day is done
before the day is done
and now all your lies
will be exorcised
and we will find your sayings
to be paradox
and it's an even sum
it's a melody
it's a final cry
it's a symphony
seven devils all around me
seven devils in my house
see they were there
when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead
before the day is done
seven devils all around you
seven devils in your house
see I was dead
when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead
before the day is done
before the day is done
before the day is done
before the day is done
before the day is done
they can keep me out
'til I tear the walls
'til I save your heart
and to take your soul
for what has been done
cannot be undone
in the evil's heart
in the evil's soul
seven devils all around you
seven devils in your house
see I was dead
when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead
before the day is done
before the day is done

Oh the river, oh the river
it's running free
And oh the joy, oh the joy
it brings to me
But I know it'll have to drown me
Before it can breathe easy
And I've seen it
in the flights of birds,
I've seen it in you.
The entrails of the animals
The blood running through
But in order to get to the heart
I think sometimes
you'll have to cut through.
But you can't
We will carry
We will carry you there
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Cause I am
On the sea, on the sea
and land over land.
Creeping and crawling
like the sea over sand
Still I follow heartlines
on your head.
And this fantasy, this fallacy
this tumbling stone.
Echoes of a city
that's long overgrown.
Your heart is the only place that
I call home
Can I be returned
You can You can
We can
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
What a thing to do
What a thing to choose
But know, in some way
I'm there with you.
Up against the wall
on a Wednesday afternoon
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Cause I am.

When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors in our skin
We were light and paper thin
And when we first came here
we were cold and we were clear
With no colors in our skin
'Til we let the spectrum in
Say my name
And every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
And when we come for you
We'll be dressed up all in blue
With the ocean in our arms
Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms
And when it's time to pray
Dressed up all in grey
With metal on our tongues
And silver in our lungs
Say my name
And every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
And when we come back
we'll be dressed in black
And you'll scream my name aloud
And we won't eat
and we won't sleep
We'll drag bodies from a ground
So say my name
And every color illuminates
And we are shining
And we'll never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
We are shining
Say my name
Say my name
And we will never be afraid again

and the heart is
hard to translate,
it has a language of it's own,
it talks and tongues
and quiet sighs
and prayers and proclamations,
in the grand days of great men
and the smallest of gestures
in short shallow gasps
but with all my education
I can't seem to commend it
and the words are
all escaping me
and coming back all damaged,
and I would put them
back in poetry
if i only knew how,
I can't seem to understand it,
and I would give all
this and heaven too,
I would give it all
if only for a moment,
that I could just understand
the meaning of the word you see
'cause I've been
scrawling it forever,
but it never makes
sense to me at all.
and it talks to me in tiptoes
and sings to me inside
it cries out in the darkest night
and breaks in morning light
but with all my education
I can't seem to commend it
and the words are all escaping
and coming back all damaged
and I would put them
back in poetry
if I only knew how
I can't seem to understand it
and I would give
all this and heaven too
I would give it all
if only for a moment
that I could just understand
the meaning
of the word you see,
'cause I've been
scrawling it forever,
but it never makes
sense to me at all.
and I would give
all this and heaven too
I would give it all
if only for a moment
that I could just understand
the meaning of
the word you see
'cause I've been
scrawling it forever
but it never makes sense
to me at all.
no, words are a language,
it doesn't deserve
such treatment,
and all my stumbling phrases
never amounted
to anything worth this feeling
all this heaven
never could describe
such a feeling as I'm having
words were never so useful
so I was screaming out
a language that
I never knew existed before

I'm gonna be released
from the heart desires
I don't care whether I live or die
And I'm losing all,
I'm gonna leave
my bones and die
Don't want your heart,
lose me
And I don't want your future
I don't need your past
One right moment is all I ask
I'm gonna leave my body
Moving up to high above
I'm gonna lose my mind
keeps pulling me
pulling me down
I'm gonna leave my body
Moving up to high above
I'm gonna lose my mind
keeps pulling me,
pulling me pulling me down
I don't need a husband,
or need no wife
And I don't need the dead
I don't need the life
For now don't need the birds,
Let 'em fly away
And I don't want the clouds,
and never see the storm
And I don't want your future
want no future
I don't need your past
need no past
Want one right moment
one right moment
Is all I ask
And I don't want your future
want no future
I don't need your past
need no past
Want one right moment
one right moment
Is all I ask
I'm gonna leave my body
Moving up to high above
I'm gonna lose my mind
keeps pulling me,
pulling me down
I'm gonna leave my body
Moving up to high above
I'm gonna lose my
lose my mind
keeps pulling me
pulling me pulling me down
pulling me down
pulling me down
And it's pulling me down
pulling me down
And it's pulling me down
pulling me down
And it's pulling me
pulling me down
pulling me pulling me down
leave my body
Moving up to high above
I'm gonna lose my mind
keeps pulling me,
pulling me down
I'm gonna leave my body
Moving up too high above
I'm gonna lose my mind
keeps pulling me,
pulling me pulling me down
I'm gonna leave my body
Moving up too high above
I'm gonna lose my mind
keeps pulling me,
pulling me down
Moving up too high above
pulling me down
keeps pulling me,
pulling me down

I was born in a big grey cloud
screaming out a love song
all the broken chords
and unnamed cries
what a place to come from
I wish to remain nameless
and live without shame
'cause what''s in a name, oh
I still remain the same
you can call it what you want
you can call me anything you want
you can call us what you want
you can call me anything you want
everybody lets you down
in this free fall of a town
born a different soul rushing out
tell me what you're running from
I know everybody let's you down
and I'll do the same
but know I'll always be around
this can remain the same
call me when you need me
call me anything you want
darling believe me
nothing I haven't done before
call me when you need me
call me when you need me
call me when you need me
call me when you need me

Hydrogen in our veins,
it cannot hold itself,
my blood is boiling
the pressure in our bodies,
that echoes up above,
it is exploding
And our particles that burn,
it is all because they yearn
for each other
And although we stick together,
it seems that we are
estranging one another
So, Feel it on me love

this is as good a place
to fall as any
we will build our alter here
make me your maria
I'm already on my knees
you had jesus on your breath
and I caught him in mine
sweating out confessions
the undone and the divine
cause this is his body
this is his love
such selfish prayers
and I can't get enough
spilled bitter tears
I did this for you
spilling over the aisle
the black and the blue
sweetest submission
drinking you in
the wine and the women,
the bedroom hymns
'cause this is his body
this is his love
such selfish prayers
and I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I'm not here looking
for absolution
because I found myself
an old solution
I'm not here
looking for absolution
because I found myself
an old solution
this is his body
this is his love
such selfish prayers,
I can't get enough
this is his body
oh, this is his love
such selfish prayers,
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I can't get enough

Time it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love, don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
And oh, poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on
a long time
And all this longing
And the shields are left to rust
That's what the water gave us
lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
'Cause they took
your loved ones
But returned them
in exchange for you
But would you have it
any other way
Would you have it
any other way
You could have had it
any other way
'Cause she's a crueller mistress
And the temper can not be take
But oh, my love
don't forsake me
take what the water gave me
lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the over flow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

She can't see
the landscape anymore
It's all painted in her grief
All of her history
etched out at her feet
Now all of the landscape,
it's just an empty place
Echoes and warning,
mountains of tenderness
Cause she's just like the weather
can't hold her together
Born from dark water
daughter of the rain and snow
Cause it's burning
through the bloodline
it's coming down the family tree
Rolling in the landscape, darling
in between you and me
She wants the silence
but fears the solitude
She wants to be alone
and together with you
So she ran to the lighthouse,
hoped that it would help her see
She's sober at the lighthouse
and then washed out to sea
Cause she's just like the weather
can't hold her together
Born from dark water,
daughter of the rain and snow
Cause it's burning
through the bloodline
it's coming down the family tree
Rolling in the landscape, darling,
in between you and me
I wanna give you
back the open sky
Give you back the open sea
Open up the ages, darling,
for you to see
You put the gun
into your mouth to die
You put the lid and spit out
Cause it's running in the family
Oh the rich and
Cause she's just like the weather
can't hold her together
Born from dark water,
daughter of the rain and snow
Cause it's burning
through the bloodline
it's coming down the family tree
Rolling in the landscape, darling,
in between you and me

Oh the river, oh the river
it's running free
And oh the joy, oh the joy
it brings to me
But I know it'll have to drown me
Before it can breathe easy
And I've seen it
in the flights of birds,
I've seen it in you.
The entrails of the animals
The blood running through
But in order to get to the heart
I think sometimes
you'll have to cut through.
But you can't
We will carry
We will carry you there
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Cause I am
On the sea, on the sea
and land over land.
Creeping and crawling
like the sea over sand
Still I follow heartlines
on your head.
And this fantasy, this fallacy
this tumbling stone.
Echoes of a city
that's long overgrown.
And your heart is the only place
that I call home
Can I be returned
You can, I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
And keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
What a thing to do
What a thing to choose
But know, in some way
I'm there with you.
Up against the wall
on a Wednesday afternoon
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
And keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your head
Cause I am.

Regrets collect
like old friends
Here to relive
your darkest moments
I can see no way
I can see no way
And all of the ghouls
come out to play
Every demon wants
his pound of flesh
But I like to keep
some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest
before the dawn
And I've been a fool
and I've been blind
I can never leave
the past behind
I can see no way
I can see no way
I'm always dragging
that horse around
And our love is pastured
such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury
that horse in the ground
So I like to keep
my issues strong
But it's always darkest
before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out
ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out
shake it out, shake it out
ooh woaaaah
And it's hard to dance
with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
And I am done
with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out
and then restart
Cause I like to keep
my issues strong
It's always darkest
before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out,
ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out,
ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance
with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
And its hard to dance
with the devil on your back
And given half the chance
would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance
but it's left me so empty
It's always darkest
before the dawn
And I'm damned if I do
and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark
at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer
and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark
and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven
found a devil in me
Looking for heaven
found a devil in me
Well what the hell
I'm gonna let it happen to me
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out,
ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out,
ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance
with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out,
ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out,
ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance
with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out,
ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out,
ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance
with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

All alone
It was always there, you see
And even on my own
It was always
standing next to me
I can see it coming
from the edge of the room
smiling in the streetlight
Holding my hand
in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now
All alone
Even when I was a child
I've always known
There was something
to be frightened of
And I can see it coming
from the edge of the room
smiling in the streetlight
Holding my hand
in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now
Oh, I think
I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think
I'm breaking down
All alone
On the edge of sleep
My old familiar friend
Comes and lies down next to me
And I can see you coming
from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Even with my eyes shut tight
I still see you coming now
I think, I'm breaking down again
I think, I'm breaking down again
I think, I'm breaking down again
I think, I'm breaking down again
