LIFESIGNS LYRICS

1. Altitude

As far as the eye can see
Clear as daylight
It spreads all in front of me now

As far as my ears can hear
I will be waiting for sounds
Of wide open spaces

As far as my touch can feel
All the air that surrounds me now
float like a cloud on the breeze
And all that confounds me
It seems so plain to me now
As nothing astounds me

As far as my sights can see
Clear as daylight
Lit up like a Christmas tree

Target destroyed
I never knew them at all
Nothing escapes me

And I could be something better
Tears roll right down my face
I could be something better

Where in this world you belong
Look to the skies and you're gone
Just where in this world you belong
Look to the skies and you're gone

And I could be so much better
The rain runs right down my face
And I could be so much better
In this empty space

We could be friends here now
There must be a way somehow
This is our world no weapons here

Imagine what we could do
No wars flying over you
This is our world no weapons here

One day soon
They'll pass your door
All these things
And so much more
Help us to
See right from wrong
Take these words
They're from a song

And I could hear you in another world
And I would see you in another world
And I could feel you in another world
Believe the truth that's in another world
And I would hold you in another world
And I would love you in another world

And I could be so much better
The rain runs right down my face
And I could be so much better
In this empty space

2. Gregarious

I would believe in the hereafter
I'm always searching for the good
And no-one can take away the laughter
I'll be as honest as I should

Sometimes when we fall
It makes no sense at all
How we compromise
All the things we do
It all comes down to you
How we sanitise

I wouldn't recommend disaster
But somehow it's everything I see
The TV will tell you who's the master
And am I allowed to disagree?

Sometimes when we fall
It makes no sense at all
How we criticise
All the things we do
It all comes down to you
How we analyse
Sometimes when we fall
It makes no sense at all
How we compromise
All the things we do
It all comes down to you
How we sanitise

Sometimes when we fall
It makes no sense at all
How we criticize
All the things we do
It all comes down to you
How we analyse

3. Ivory Tower

For all the songs
That sang so sweetly
And all the lives
That loved completely
I still remember
The warmth of the sun on your golden hair
I loved you fair

For all the times
When hearts were broken
And all the words
Still left unspoken
I still remember
The look in your eyes when you told me lies
I trusted you

I can recall
With your back to the wall
As you fall from your ivory tower
No-one prepared me for what was to come
Can I still find my way home?
Can I still find my way home?

For all the love
That passed between us
And all the lives
Who seldom see this
I still remember
The feeling I'd get when you called my name
I played your game

I can recall
With your back to the wall
As you fall from your ivory tower
No-one prepared me for what was to come
Can I still find my way home?
Can I still find my way home
Find my way home?

Well I'm looking for perfection
For an angel in disguise
But something pulls me back towards the night
Yeah I'm looking for an answer
For an end to all these lies
And I still believe we'll make it to the light
I have to trust in commonsense
Know that I'll be strong
Be sure that I'll survive and hold on tight
Do I find a new direction or go back where I belong?
I don't want to give this up without a fight

'Cause fall down
If I could redeem myself
I fall down
If I could be someone else
I fall down
'Cause I'm not the only one
I fall down, I fall down

I try to hide the feelings
That are tearing us apart
But jealousy can lend a helping hand
Do I find a new direction without a broken heart?
'Cause until this day I'll never understand

Why I fall down
If I could redeem myself
I fall down
If I could be someone else
I fall down
'Cause I'm not the only one
I fall down
I fall down

Fall down

4. Shoreline

And as we touch the difference
Between our lives and commonsense
The present holds the signs of where we fall
Amongst all the arguments
I find that there's no relevance
The words you say don't mean that much at all

So save me, save me
Don't care what it takes
There's nothing to save me at all
So save me, save me
Don't feel what you feel
There's no-one to help me at all

Take me to the shoreline
And let me stare into this space
There is one more mile left in me
That will take me from this place
I can't understand your feelings
But they hold me deep inside
I won't look towards the future
I can't take your foolish pride

Take me to the shoreline
And let me stare into the sea
This is where the journey started
As we touch the air we breathe
The greed that now enfolds us
May shake us to the core
And these days of light define us
Let us hope for many more

And as we touch the difference
Between our lives and commonsense
The present holds the signs of where we fall
Amongst the other occupants
Who find themselves in residence
Your words don't seem to mean that much at all

So save me, save me
I don't care what it takes
There's nothing to save me at all
So save me, save me
I don't feel what you feel
There's no-one to help me at all

5. Fortitude

Wide eyed
Waiting for moments
He sighed
Praying for time to heal

Do you care?
Do you care?
Waiting for moments
Searching for words to say
Trying to find a way
Find a way here

She cried
Choosing her moment
He lied
Looking for time to steal

Do you care?
Do you care?
Waiting for moments
Searching for words to say
Trying to find a way
Find a way here

Time will only tell you
Of the light you see
That's far above
And somehow there are ways to understand

Love will leave you far behind
The world will fall to truth unkind
And somehow you might need a helping hand

Why do I protect myself
When something else can resolutely hurt me here?
Why do I control myself
When something else can evidently make it clear?

Sometimes you fall
Waiting for the words that never come
Looking for the truth you can't outrun
It's the only thing you know

Sometimes you fall
Waiting for the rising of the sun
All the things you own but never won
It's the only thing you know

Wasting all the time you have
Waiting for asylum that you seek
All the words that stand before you
Judging by the company you keep

You can hide for now
Waiting for wings to share over the moon
You can hide for now
Waiting for wings to share over the moon

All the time I tried to
Make you change your mind
It was never mine to hold
All my words were blind
All the years declined

And I could never tell a lie to you
And I could only speak the truth
Sometimes I feel like it's all just a dream

6. Arkhangelsk

7. Last One Home

The storm alone lies screaming
The ships no longer sail
She feels as if she's dreaming
She looks into the gale
For all the boats are counted
But there's one that's still away
The only sound is water all around

A wall of sea surrounds him
Confronting all his fears
This seething mass sustained him
A friend for all these years
And now the tide is turning
He can feel the undertow
The only sound is water all around

Fool, you'll be the last one home
The sea won't get you tonight
Whoa oh you, you'll be the last one home
The sea won't get you tonight
Get you tonight

The angry sea grows silent
He's feeling tossed and torn
The storm has lost the violence
With the rising of the dawn
The gods have smiled upon him
He'll soon be safe and warm
The only sound is water all around

Fool, you'll be the last one home
The sea won't get you tonight
Whoa oh you, you'll be the last one home
The sea won't get you tonight
Whoa oh you, you'll be the last one home
The sea won't get you tonight
Whoa oh you, you'll be the last one home
The sea won't get you tonight
Get you tonight
