Never felt like this before, like The window in the water Worlds of worthy sacrifice But you made me feel alive, like The light through dreamers' eyes I'm taking what I need Can't stop what you've begun, like You can't drown the morning sun again Wouldn't kill to let you die (For this, give it to me) Can't stop what you've begun (Give it to me) Can't drown the morning sunlight Crying out, I'm begging you for this Leave us to dream the dead, sing it loud Legacy means it's over, sober Leave us to dream the dead, sing it loud Begging to justify and admire it Dream what I need and nothing more, no more, no Dream what I need and nothing more (Give it to me) You've wasted heaven on saving yourself So give me your broken shadow So feed me empty echo Pay me, pay me what you owe Can't stop what you've begun, like Can't drown the morning sunlight Crying out, I'm begging you for this Leave us to dream the dead, sing it loud Legacy means it's over, sober Leave us to dream the dead, sing it loud Begging to justify it and admire it (Give it to me) To build a world for a moment You have the light to bring the night to life And there I stood, overcome for a moment You can't stop, show me that I need you (Dream the dead) You can't stop, not now, please, I need you (Dream the dead) You can't stop, show me that I need you (Dream the dead) You can't stop, show me, it's all we can hope for We will remember the colour and the comfort we lay to rest The poison's sweet and just stand and deliver We will remember, there's sorrow in the swan song, now lay to rest The poison's sweet and nothing lasts forever We will remember the colour and the comfort we lay to rest The poison's sweet and just stand and deliver We will remember, there's sorrow in the swan song, now lay to rest The poison's sweet and nothing lasts forever

Wait, love For sight as though I never knew that I was blind Mercy, patience, promises we left behind All I can hope for is to wake, love And trembling hands to stillness find their way Quiet, I can hold my breath and to hope to God it stays The hands are the hardest, always And sober never shone quite so bright Colour me blind, just empty glass on canvas The hands are the hardest One more Stare into the dream the dead are begging for And this is what you wanted, feed me, give me all Deep in the poison, find the cure And when sober gives me spark I will stand in the light When sober gives me eyes I'll sue for peace These sweet dreams Sue for peace These sweet dreams "Love conquers all," you said But until then, light be damned And down that hole I dive again When sober gives me spark I will stand in the light When sober gives me eyes I'll sue for peace These sweet dreams Sue for peace These sweet dreams (This is what you've always wanted) Seeing in colour now (Look at what you made me do) Make me a martyr (This is where our dreams have brought us) Laying me softly down (Look at what you made me do) All for you (This was for our sons and daughters) All for you (Look at where our dreams have brought us)

Need some time to make it right Oh mountain mine, I lost my fight Oh mountain mine, just give me time The beast that I have become Could set me free of this If only I had the time If only these hands were mine Without the muse in my lungs Without her sweet taste on my tongue I don't need the strength to fight, no Only to stand in the light Need some time to make it right (For a little while) I need some time to make it right, please

Two of them stood Damned with the driftwood Fed by old fire and father's eyes To leave the machine No fear for that figurehead We could have still been brothers then I know what I said If two of them stood And braced for the burden The never heard, the never learn To strike at the heart You dig for your brother and concord That coffin nail will set it right Even the words as they flow out like water Are silently begging to turn this page over And send me home And two of them stood A voice across the chasm Blaming the distance for the dark And could I refuse? They can't see the bridge for the blackness The spite for the start And even the words as they flow from the fountain Just like the sun must be missing the mountain, so Give me distance, a sky without tether, and It was the chasm that brought us together, connect If only I could squeeze blood from that stone (Fill my heart) And let my cup, with this peace, overflow (Fill my heart) If only I could squeeze blood from that stone (Fill my heart) But the rot took its root in my home (Fill my heart) If only I could squeeze blood from that stone (Fill my heart) And let my cup, with this peace, overflow (Fill my heart) If only I could squeeze blood from that stone (Fill my heart) But the rot took its root in my home (Fill my heart) Brother, send me home Reach through this fire Let the blood send me home, home Brother, send me home Even the words as they flow from the fountain Just like the sun must be missing the mountain, so Give me distance, a sky without tether, and It was the chasm that pulled us together Even the words as they flow from the fountain Just like the sun must be missing the mountain, so Give me distance, a sky without tether, and It was the chasm that pulled us together

"But the writing is on the wall" Cried the fresh cut to the old wound still bleeding As if he didn't know As if he hadn't done his fair share of reading Like he'd never felt the flames of revolution The young man's simple solution Peter out time and time again Like he'd never spotted revolution's hole before the end And the writing on the wall That impotent echo of inertia unmasked The writing on the wall that really matters Is in the Jewish quarter under bulletproof glass It holds a lost family's past the top Will fight to be forgotten This whole fucking city's rotten to the core, but It's you, and it's me It's the woman heavy with child Screaming "Please!" from the doorway She clutches her belly as triage sets in When the night street sweeper lets her choose which one of her children It's the jacked up jackboot with his foot on the neck of the pale girl The frail girl dimming the light in the only eyes Bright enough to see a pattern through the cracks This lonely boy chewed up and swallowed by streets, spit, famine, and rats It's the words of the last librarian The only man among us with enough courage and true grit To save our knowledge from the fires we lit When he burst, arms full, from the blaze One proud voice in the panic, he called out "Son, if you're going to cry then cry havoc" It's the neighbourhood pill pusher, a family man It's our weakness, it's our strength We are the very fingertips of life's outstretched hand But you'll find no spark in the sandstone dark 'Cause what the holy men won't preach Is that the one thing that unites us is reach We reach forward And there aren't enough songs in the world Not enough words in my tongue Nor enough breath in my lungs There is no echo that has lasted so long No shadow that has stretched so far As we, we reach forward And its safe hands back down the line in the endless chain Not lost, never lost When the strength we gained from their giving remains We reach for the echo, we reach forward For the moment between waking and sleep For the sum, not some of us, together we leap And yet we eat enough stone So hard hearts hide a home Under promise, understanding Under children's skin and bone And the writing on the wall you love Was hand-penned by the censor So spit in the cannon's mouth And tell 'em Ink sent ya

I had all the pieces that I needed Saw the places in between You taught me to breathe it all in And I stood waiting in your welcome shadow With nothing but the dark below you I could believe you were light (Into me, into me, into me) And you were the water underneath the keystone Air to all that could not breathe You showed them the love in the lie But I saw the tragedy of life that lingers Slipping through the city's fingers Brother, I waited too long (Into me, into me, into me) Into my waiting arms Promise to meet me there Help me to find the start Help me to fill my heart Into my waiting arms Building the dream we shared If I could find the start If I could fill my heart Higher, stone by stone Hollow hope, empty home Don't look down, boy We must be the ones Ashes by us and it's done It's your choice, saint or the beast, boy So give me the likeness of a life with no hope The sight and sound as one, this new home Tell me that you hear it too (Into me, into me, into me) And I could see the end in each beginning See enough to make the world sing "We heard the music in you" (Into me, into me, into me) Into my waiting arms Promise to meet me there Help me to find the start Help me to fill my heart Into my waiting arms Building a dream we shared If I could find the start If I could fill my heart You have the choice, saint or the beast Prove you can be force fed war and spit peace You can be force fed war and spit peace You can be force fed war and spit peace You have the choice, saint or the beast Prove you can be force fed war and spit peace You can be force fed war and spit peace You can be force fed war and spit peace

Part 1: Faint Heart Faint heart World can wait for the weary hands to learn it's too late But I'm spit and I'm rough dirt What do you want from me? Faint heart, tip of my tongue A song like youth, wasted on the young And it's over and over What kind of father could I be? Faint heart, rain to the spark At last my light, giving in to dark And the thought of it crumbling to dust No, I was not done Faint heart I beg she won't see the coward, the cur, maybe this is me These hands-shaped stone But I'm scared like you wouldn't believe Faint heart, only a glimpse I was wrong, take it back, just let this one live Then it hits me like ice to the bone What if I'm just like him? Good God Give me the strength that I need not to be To fight, not to flee Or succumb to the beast underneath What if he's just like me? Naked in the wild All was reconciled When I held my child Naked in the wild All was reconciled When I held my child Part 2: A Few Peaceful Years Quiet mind Peace, reach Quiet mind Be at peace Quiet mind Be at peace Reach We are the fire that whispers our mother's words Help me, love (Help me to finish it) We are the soil that joy gave form, you, oh We are the dream and these are my father's hands Help me, love (Help me to finish it) We are the soil that joy gave form, ooh Help me finish it Part 3: The Boy And The Broken Wheel Rising waves cry, "He'll go first, he'll go first" (You know it is all that's left of your dream) (You know that it is true) Is all this nothing to you? (Hope sings to the dust of you) Fear (What if they were right?) (He was always the better) He was always the better (The thief who shapes the world) The thief who shapes the images you dreamed (Dreamed for nothing) All unfinished dreams For nothing (The images you dreamed were for nothing) (Take back what's yours, don't keep me waiting) (Take back what's yours, don't keep me waiting) Just take back what's yours, don't keep me waiting No more hope, broken pieces in your hands (In your weary hands) Waves rushing in I'm waiting I wait He sees me, waves receding, the child Healing my hurt, one day at a time I'd feared it, just like me, the child Healing my hurt, one day at a time Storm's distant, I'm Still closer than ever And I'm healing my hurt One day I'll repay this kindness Oh, he sees me whole Her voice is telling me To breathe and let it be, the lion Heed my words The man arise from earth The life, the lie is worth, the liar Heed my words, you'll go first The wound that would not heal The boy, the broken wheel, the lion Heed my hurt The wind that whips the waves The spit, the second grave, the liar Heed my hurt, you'll go first We are the fire that whispers our mother's words Help me, love (Help me to finish it) We are the soil that joy gave form We are the dream and these are my father's hands Help me, love (Help me to finish it) We are the soil that joy gave form Waves receding And faith is fading like the sun The work left undone Part 4: Hands Shape Stone Greed brought us here Soon, blood to soil Now that has been taken from me Tell me it was all for nothing, alright Play the part, the eyes, the witness That I can touch you deep, can you feel this? Alright Breathe and let it be Carving out the world that you stole Bite down on it, dig a new hole, oh hands I beg you, break stone beneath me Knowing that she won't forgive me Not this time, not again But she married my anger too And what am I to stay to my son now? My work undone And what am I to stay to my son now? Hands shape stone Hands shape stone Hands shape— Hands shape stone Hands shape stone Hands shape— Hands shape stone Hands shape stone Hands shape—

Gently waking A final skyward sigh Please, send me safely home It's almost time Goodbye Lay me down The ocean at my window Here, here I find myself again All broken bones and eyes that wear their age Like going home is etched on every page Fragile Atlas He carries that old smile He will stay his weary arms To just lay down a while Lay me down The ocean at my window Herе, here I find myself again All brokеn bones and eyes that wear their age Like going home is etched on every page No, won't accept that's the way I go (By my) Quiet hand, sinking slow Won't accept that's the way it ends (Won't you) Stay like stone and mend I'll wear the words like Atlas Never said the day I chose to stay And I wish I could have shared A fraction of the peace that I found then My friend The ocean at my window Here, here I find myself again All broken bones and eyes that wear their age Like going home is etched on every page
