From Death 05:27
And I saw you fall today How you fell so fast If you’ve fallen all the way Who will save your ass Is it the sunrise Is it the moonshine Is it a 45 Is it Jesus Christ And it will come But when it comes, it comes from death Of course it will come But when it comes, it comes from death Now they've all arrived this way Thinking you have passed How they're all surprised today Who will save their ass Is it the sunrise Is it the moonshine Is it a 45 Is it Jesus Christ And it will come But when it comes, it comes from death Of course it will come But when it comes, it comes from death And it's not the end tonight It's not the end tonight Talitha Koum

Always outside You can't ever seem to hold your fire I'll change, but I won't hide We'll both go back but keep all that we find How could we have known How could we have known You, all you wear is nothing Your name is all you need You carry with you nothing And nothing is all I ever need That's right, nothing is all I ever need Keep it quiet, keep it clean All you ever ask is everything Just like ghosts move through your hall I must be more than a piece of your resolve And if we had known My God, if we had known You, all you wear is nothing Your name is all you need You carry with you nothing And nothing is all I ever need That's right, nothing is all I ever need Blindfolds sometimes help us see Destroying all we made would set us free

Tell me something I don't already know Take me places only you can go I will play the part I will let you start And I will break your heart For good I will rob you blind Keep on singing, you just might save a life While I break and enter to take back what is mine I'll remove it all I'll walk right through your wall And I will let you fall For good I will rob you blind This is where it all changes For good

The Dream 03:13
Hang me gently from your arm I'm the only one Who can do me harm Ride me round til dawn So you can sleep I'm the only one No one can see And I know I never should have asked You can't say no And now you'll never get it back You'll never get it back All the light Of all the rising suns We'll never see Can't awake That which never slept Still I can't shake the dream It's enough to know you needed me When dreams become Such costly memories Tell me why we must remain in rhyme And song How could how it have been Be so wrong And I know I never should have asked You can't say no And now you'll never get it back You'll never get it back All the light Of all the rising suns We'll never see Can't awake That which never slept Still I can't shake the dream

Breathe 02:27
Like Paul and Virginia knew how to love You make old things prettier You know how to light a room Yeah, you know how to light a room Some dance ‘til midnight Some dance ’tl dawn Some don’t stop dancing ‘til you’re gone ‘Til you’re gone It’s just like we’re breathing In and then out Find faith in my leaving Beauty in your doubt You find beauty in your doubt Some dance ‘til midnight Some dance ’til dawn Some don’t stop dancing at all At all

Elizabeth 05:15
Ah-hah-ha-ah (x 12) Anyone can use Use a mirror to hide the pain Only you would think To use a cloud to hide the rain And I, I, I feel it And I, I, I feel it You only dance when it rains You only dance when it rains Ah-hah-ha-ah (x 6) Only you would work So very hard to walk away Just to be unseen After you take my breath away And I, I, I feel it And I, I, I feel it You only dance when it rains You only dance when it rains When it rains, I’ll feel it Is there anyone Who can love from underground Is there anyone Who can sing without a sound You only dance when it rains You only dance when it rains You only dance when it rains You only dance when it rains Ah-hah-ha-ah (x 3)

Enough 05:02
First you will crawl Then you will walk Then you will walk away First you will grow Then you will go Then you will go away Away Let it go (x 3) Let it go away First you will try Then you will fall Then you will fall away First you’ll need love Then you’ll be loved Then you’ll give love away Away Let it go Let it go away Let it go (x 3) It’s enough Let it go (x 3) First you will die Then you will say Let’s do it all again Oh-oh-oh (x 5) It’s enough (x 4) Let it go (x 4) It’s enough (x 2) Let it go (x 3)

Yet To Come 04:58
Come out Come outside You no longer have to hide Your soul has waited for this You know by the very first kiss That what is yet to come Is where you hold your love Come out Come outside You’re seen for the very first time Your soul has waited for this You hope For what’s already in your midst And what is yet to come Is resting in your arms Your arms
