Lyrics

THE WINDOW

Verse 1
I am sitting in the sill
Of everything I feel
And I'm debating
Do I open this up?
I can see straight through
And on the other side is you
Does the glass protect or hinder us now?

Pre Chorus
Do I sit here in my window box
And watch you pass on by
Do I ease my way onto the ledge
And see if I can fly?

Chorus
'Cause I've been trapped inside this room
But I think that you built me a window
And the sunlight you let in
Is blinding and beautiful
I see through my window
I see through my window

Verse 2
Just give me a minute
To adjust to your light
It's been dark a long time
So this is foreign and bright
It's gonna take me a second
To process your face
It's like staring at the sun
From the cold of outer space

Pre Chorus 2
Couldn't sit here in my window box
Couldn't let you go
You're the only beauty that I see
The only oxygen I know

LULLABY

Verse 1
Here today, gone tomorrow
You're my star
My greatest sorrow
Who are you fighting, baby?
When you're fast asleep?
Where are you going, baby?
Even though you never leave?

Chorus
I'll lay beside you
When the demons dance inside your head
I'll hold on to you
When you're crying in your bed
I'll hold your hand
I'll hang on tight
I'll be your lullaby
Just hang on my love
Just hang on tight

Verse 2
I know life hasn't been easy for you
What's hard for you is hard for me too
Show me what's broken
And I'll try to help you forget your pain
Right here I'll stay

Chorus x1

Outro
Hang on tight (x4)


DECADENCE

Verse 1
Overwhelming machine
Sucking you in
Making pawns out of pretty faces
Nothing beneath the skin
This is what you have become
This is what you are

Chorus
This is the age of decadence
Not the age of innocence
They will pull you under if you don't know who you are
Hold your eyes wide open
Recognize this makes no sense
What is blind is hopeless
What is left is decadence

Verse 2
Plastic epidemic
Breeding ivory bones
Infecting those who let it
In an army of clones
This is what they have become
This is what they are

Chorus (x1)

Bridge
Everyday, bury your dignity in a shallow grave
Watch your life go up in flames
On the cover of a magazine

Chorus (x1)


BALLERINA IN A MUSIC BOX

Verse 1
I am imperfect
I am a broken doll
I make mistakes
Stumble and I fall
I feel like December in the snow
Like a fading ember, a dimming glow

Chorus
But in you I see
All I wish to be
You are beauty, girl
In an ugly world
You so gracefully
Have grown up to be
Delicate and free
Like a ballerina in a music box

Verse 2
Sometimes on quiet nights
I think of when we were small
I'd spend more time
If I could rewind it all

Chorus (x1)

Instrumental/Vocal Bridge

Chorus (x1)

Outro
You're a ballerina
You're my ballerina
You're a ballerina


WINTER BLOSSOM

Verse 1
Such a cold night
The clouds movin' fast
I can feel it inside
He's coming back
Here comes the first snow
And that's how I know
My love has returned

Chorus
And when I close my eyes
He's there beside me
He's come to find me
He whispers, "Winter Blossom"
The snow on my lips
Feels like his kiss
Gentle and cold
And I am his Winter Blossom

Verse 2
The day that he left me
New snow flakes were on the ground
Every December
That's when he comes around
He comes to remind me
He still remembers
Every December

Chorus (x1)

Bridge
And he's my December Valentine
My snow angel
He's not in my mind
He gives me a sign

Chorus (x2)


STELLA JANE

Verse 1
I know a girl
A pretty face
A butterfly trapped in a net
Oh little girl
It's a disgrace
Your eyes aren't even open yet

Pre Chorus 1
They broke your wings
They told you things
Made you believe
Now you know their deception

Chorus
Stella Jane, you pretty thing
Come and sit a while
I'll tell you of the world you've been missing
Stella Jane, you crumpled thing
Your truth is what you make it
Life is there, so take it
Life waits for you, so make it out

Verse 2
Hey little girl
Beautiful face
You're not so little anymore
Listen up girl
Go find your way
Walk right through the open door

Pre Chorus 2
It's time to choose
There's no excuse
No more to lose
Take back the girl you never were

Chorus (x1)

Bridge
When you look in the mirror
Do you like what you see?
Do you even know who you are?
Does it hurt you
Like it used to?
What will you do?

Chorus (x1)

Outro (x2)
You'll find your way
You'll make it out
You'll find your way


ANGEL

Verse 1
Hold me
Don't go away
I hate the way I feel when you're gone
Just stay here
You feel like home
I know that you are where I belong

Chorus
'Cause you are my night light
With you, I'm alright
You're my angel
With a cigarette
And a warm smile
There's nothing more that I can say
I love you more everyday
My angel

Verse 2
I still feel you
When you're far away
'Cause everything draws me to you

Chorus (x1)

Bridge
Something in me knew your face
Before I ever saw you
Fate aligned this time and place for us
You're my heaven

Chorus (x2)


NO FAIRYTALE

Verse 1
Baby, everything I said was mute to you
And you tell me that you hear me
But that's just you

Pre Chorus
'Cause my heart was screaming and you didn't hear it
You didn't want to see me
You should have listened
Every word I said, I meant it

Chorus
So all in all you are no prince
And I'm no sleeping beauty
And I don't need you now to save me from my wall of thorns
'Cause I have opened my eyes
And I see the ending so much clearer
This was no fairytale
And I am no longer your sleeping beauty

Verse 2
If I'd have known the plot
I never would have been part of your story
But I got pulled in

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Bridge
And years from now
Maybe you'll look back
And wonder how
Things got so off track
But I will know that it was better this way

Modified Chorus
So all in all you are no prince
And I'm no sleeping beauty
And I don't need you now to save me from my wall of thorns
'Cause I have opened my eyes
And I see the ending so much clearer
This was no fairytale...
And this is the end.


LOTUS

Verse 1
No one can change
Moments of regret
Everybody breaks
It's just what you get
We can't avoid
Dwelling in the mud
But we can rise above

Pre Chorus
And when it seems too much to take
Believe your pain will fade away

Chorus
The rain will always come
But do we open up?
And wait for the sun?
And when the storm is over
Life will refocus
And emerge like a lotus

Verse 2
Inside of us
There is something beautiful
Hold on to your hope
Don't let it go

Pre Chorus

And when it seems too much to take...


GIVING UP THE GHOST

Verse 1
Everything that scratched it's way in
Flowed out from me
Every sin
In my truth there were lies and beauty
Locked away inside

Chorus
Flown away
All of my tears
With everything I tried to hide
Everything I feared
Blown away
All of my years
With everything I'm giving up
I'm giving up the ghost

Verse 2
And in the corridors
That intersect the rooms beneath my skin
You ripped the curtains open
Let the sunlight in
Let me breathe again

Chorus

Bridge
And for all you gave me
For all you understood
I am made free, yeah
I am made good
I couldn't see me like you could (x2)

Modified Pre Chorus
Cleared away all that I feared

Chorus (x2)

Outro
I'm giving up...


ANNABEL LEE

Verse 1
Annabel Lee
Can't you tell me
What made him so crazy, crazy for you?
'Cause I love a man
And ooh if I can
I want to keep the soul that's mine entangled with his
Until the end of time

Pre Chorus
This love needs no reason...
This love needs no rhyme

Chorus
And I don't have a kingdom by the sea
To offer to him
All I owned in this world was my heart
And he took it...

And I don't ever want it back.

Verse 2
Yeah Annabel
To live in hell
Would be to live without the love that's mine
Unparalleled
The way we fell
How could you ever leave your love behind?
Behind...

Modified Chorus
And I don't need a kingdom by the sea
To offer to him
All I need in this world is his heart
To hold onto
And I won't ever give it back

Bridge
No mortal state could hold us
No angel's storm could chill this
No never
Never
To dissever his soul from mine

Chorus, Modified Chorus

Outro
And he took it...
He took it.
