A Natural Disaster

It's been a long cold winter without you
I've been crying on the inside over you
Just slipped through my fingers as life turned away
It's been a long cold winter since that day

It's hard to find
Hard to find
Hard to find the strength now but I try
And I don't want to
Don't want to
Don't want to go on and speak now
Of what's gone by
Cos no matter what I say
No matter what I do
I can't change what happened
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I can't change what happened

You just slipped through my fingers
And I feel so ashamed
You just slipped through my fingers
And I have paid

Cos no matter what I say
No matter what I do
I cant change what happened
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I cant change what happened
No no I can't change

Just slipped through my fingers
And I feel so ashamed
You just slipped through my fingers
And I have paid.

The Storm Before The Calm

Never, never
Ever
Worry
I will always
Always
Be there
For you
Found you
Found you
I will never, ever
Leave you
Never
I will always
Be here
With you
Getting better, better, better
Better, better, better

It's getting colder
I'm getting colder, colder
It's getting colder
Let it get colder until I can't feel
Anything at all
It's getting colder
It's getting colder, colder

Come on, come on
On me, on me
Touching, laughing
Ha ha
Love me, love me
For me
Holding
Watching
Loving
Getting better, better, better
Better, better, better

It's getting colder
I'm getting colder, colder
It's getting colder
Let it get colder until I can't feel
Anything at all

It's getting colder
It's getting colder, colder
I'm getting colder
Let it get colder until I can't feel
Anything at all

It ebbs and flows and comes and goes
And rips you up and lets you go
It eats inside and splits your mind
As you search around for others kind
You gather strength from the depths
Fight the fight from day 'til night

This beautiful feeling soars over the skies
Moving through my body out my mind
It rises up and floods my brain
This is fucking insane
This is fucking insane

Am I still here? As one with the fear
Am I still alive? As one with the fear
Am I still here? As one with the fear
Am I still alive? As one with the fear
Am I still here? As one with the fear
Am I still alive? As one with the fear
Am I still here? As one with the fear
Am I still alive? I'm still fucking here
Am I still here?

Lightning Song

Lightning, splits the sky.
Shining, blinding a while
And here at last
Almost asleep
Reckoning in a place I have been

And I feel,
I found my place
In time and space
In hope and faith
And love I give
My mind is clear
I have no fear
I share not, since
For you my dear
This world is wonderful,
so beautiful, if only you can open up your mind and see

Your world is everything, you
ever dreamed of
if only you can open up your mind and see.

This world is wonderful,
so beautiful, if only you can open up your mind and see

Your world is everything, you
ever dreamed of
if only you can open up your mind and see.

The beauty that is here
Beauty that is here.

Lost Control

Life has betrayed me once again,
I accept some things will never change.
I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony,
and it's left me with a chem'cal dependency for sanity.

Yes, I am falling... how much longer till I hit the ground?
I can't tell you why I'm breaking down.
Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone?
Have I really lost control?

I'm coming to an end,
I've realised what I could have been.
I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask,
I admit I've lost control.
