I knew my world would come crashing down, if we parted ways Sometimes I wonder if it was inevitable, like a predetermined race I even saw the pieces come together, but I let them have their say Blinded by my own point of view, I somehow drifted away Make it right, I will make it right, I’m poisoned with regret Make it right, make it right, I will take the uphill climb Make it right, make it right, till my fading breath I will keep up the fight I know you never really saw it coming (your way) The twisted tidal wave It hit you harder than I ever could’ve imagined But you never said a word By the time you came to terms that your world had shifted I had drifted away Make it right, I will make it right, I’m poisoned with regret Make it right, make it right, I will take the uphill climb Make it right, make it right, till my fading breath I will keep up the fight

You painted the sky with the colour of the day maybe the prism can wait mindlessly hum along the radio as it plays Your favourite song can wait Each day drones along Trying to clone itself Nine to five, five to nine Numbers and figures In circles and squares Seems like a never ending game For how long will you tell yourself its just another day? Oh how far will it be before you look to find your way? Constants and variables Oh how they play stories they spin and memories they break Constants and variables pause for one day Just set me free for my dreams are at stake Years gone by You toe the front lines now Carrying the weight of the world Looking back at your life plotted neatly on your desk You wonder why you cued up for this There were signs all along You've always seen the cracks in the walls You know it's now or never Soon enough your fears they will take over

Sky High 05:07
tapered smiles veils of desperation painted faces bones of fascination the finish line it's lure and it's seduction complex figures clocks and determination I can see now, through your eyes I can feel now, your skin I can breathe now, the air I am free becauase I'm sky-high and I’m breaking away evening skies gradient of color a wordless song spinning through the atmosphere countless shapes emerging on the horizon the play of light spirals In creation I've always had my faith in spades creating time and bending space

How will we run against the stroke of the darkest hour Where will we hide when the earth is breathing fire When will we know that it’s time for the game to be over What will we say when the meanings have lost all their power There, is no answer Leaving words behind us How did we miss all the warning signs and all the symbols Where did we leave all the traces that one day could burn us When did the final chapter leave its notice What did we win by losing a silent witness There, is no answer Leaving words behind us Oh when the lines were drawn That’s when the troubles began The odds against us and the tables turned We were pushed to the ground It's time to rebuild Brick by brick We can turn this around All that's lost will be found
