These days

What feeling has come over us
These days…
As leaves are falling to the ground
What feeling has come into our lives
These days…
When your voice seems to be colder
Thrills with each word spoken

Don't think we ever been here before
We never fell to the ground
Heard the sound, of glass falling
Shattering in every corner of our lives

Like rivers never flowing to the sea
Like mountains not reaching to the sky
Like birds not willing to be free
So we're falling, we're not willing to see
And it's to late when we hit the
dark ground

What feeling has come over us
These days…
We are just walking through the haze
What feeling has come into our lives
These days…
When were trying to reach out
But we're trapped in the maze

These days
Oh these days

Don't think we ever been here before
We never knew the sound
of glass falling
Shattering in every corner of our lives

Like rivers never flowing to the sea
Like mountains not reaching to the sky
Like birds not willing to be free
So we're falling, we're not willing to see
And it's to late when we hit the
dark ground

Oh one of these days
These days
When we look around
It's to late when we hit the
dark ground


Songs from different rooms

How early can you hear the morning call
How soon can you walk when you still have to learn to crawl
How soon can you begin to listen, to songs from different rooms.

So tell me do you hear the different voices singing to each one of us
Even when the days seems to be full of darkness
Can you hear the music inside of you

Hope can be found in so many faces
Singing songs from different rooms
Love is there to embrace it
Just listen to songs from different rooms.

How early can you begin to wonder what's outside of you
Just open your windows and let the sunlight come through
How early can you listen to what is inside of you
Just open your windows and let your song come through

So let them hear your voice singing to each one of us
Even when the days seems to be full of darkness
Let us hear the music inside of you

Hope can be find in so many faces
Singing songs from different rooms
Love is there to embrace it
Just listen to songs from different rooms.

Listen to each other,
Singing different songs
Songs from their rooms.


The presence of time

In the presence of time we can grow
Learn and watch the sun go down
Swim the oceans, we'll never drown.

I love, love the simple things
I love the memories of you and I 
And everything that lingers on me
I love, love to be free 
In the presence of time

In the presence of time
We can learn to live the dream
Grow upon each other
hang on to each other words

I love, love to hear
I love, love to see
and everything that lingers on me
In the presence of time

The presence of time
is all we need 

In the presence of time
We fall in love
Grow and watch the sun go down
The presence of time


Nightlines

I fear the nightlines
I fear the spell I'm in
when their shadows start chasing me,
I know I just can't win

Once we lived in night's beauty
when it was the essence of our world
Night spirits moved us
now it drowns me
when your breathing can't be heard

I fear the nightlines
The darkness that throws me to the ground
The nightlines that once moved us
now got me bound


Silent storms

Silent storms grow louder everyday, 
if they don't find a way you'll never be able to listen to your own heart.
Don't let them rage inside of you, cry out where a heart is.

Inside of you lies truth
 But the tide keeps rushing in
 as your running against the wind 
Deep Inside you know you can fly 
But these voices grow louder everyday 
If they don't find a way you'll never be able to listen to your own heart.
Don't let them rage inside of you, 
cry out where a heart is.

Silent storms grow louder everyday 
building pain inside of you 
Find a way to release what's inside

You know who you are and what's in your blood. 
And only you know which way you want to go 
So don't let the tide rush over you

Silent storms grow louder everyday, if they don't find a way 
you'll never be able to listen to your own heart.
Don't let them rage inside of you,
 cry out where a heart is.

Inside of you lies truth 
But the tide keeps rushing in 
and your running against the wind 
Deep inside you know you can fly 
But these voices grow louder every day 
If they don't find a way
 you'll never be able to listen to your own heart.
Don't let them rage inside of you.
Cry out where a heart is.
Cry out where a heart is
