Night Comes 03:31
I will fight until the night comes, No applause until the work’s done. See our love, it’s gonna be won, I will fight until the night comes. When the sun is up we’ll have won. There’s no sleep until the day’s done. See this darkness will be undone. I will fight until the night comes. Excuse me darling can you give me your name? I got a first class ticket, extra seat on the plane. I want to, skip town, run away with you. I can tell by your smile, that’s what you want to do too. Tell me baby, what is your name? I try to speak but you, push away from me. Tell me baby, why are we here? I gotta move, are you coming or staying here? Believe me darling, I know where you been, Don’t wanna know the details if you’re more than a friend. I need to, figure out if you’re on board with me Girl you ready to go? ‘Cause our flight’s going to leave. Tell me why are you here? Tell me what’s your name, Tell me where you want to go with me, babe. Tell me why are you here? Tell me what's your name. I will fight until the night comes, No applause until the work’s done. See our love, it’s going to be won, I will fight until the night comes.

Girl, don't you feel it when the sunshine comes?

I cannot see your smile, I cannot see your face. My hand tries to find yours, My heart picks up the pace. Your name is always mentioned, That song is always played. I want to be with you again, Don’t want to be afraid. Once I think I’ve forgotten, You’re back just like a curse. Once I was moving on then I was sent into reverse. I know that you will have him, I just blend in the crowd. But my heart doesn’t care And it’s screaming out loud. And in the midst of all this, This pain and tragedy, My body’s weak my mind is numb, Still my heart sings. You don’t know how you’ve hurt me, You turned and walked away. You made a fool of me In the light of your day. I have no one to turn to, Need to get out of here. Thought our secrets were lost, So I had no fear. I just ignore the whispers, Try to be true to you. They say, that you’re in love, Well that’s nothing new. And now I am so frightened, For my face to be shown. Your promises were broken, Our secrets made known. These winding paths of sorrow; Decayed and so old. Guess you know that I love you I wonder who told? I want to see this world, Don’t want to be alone. Reminded of your beauty, And things I’ve not known. I miss the nights spent with you, Moon glow lit up the sky. My arm around your waist, And your hand in mine.

The sun has died, there comes a day When all that’s left is cold and gray. The heartache sailing through the walls, As echolocation for the way. Don’t know why I’m hiding Don’t where I’ve gone Just trying to help myself along. The ashes of time all fall away And darkness resonates in bone. I dream of burning in the night The oxygen in my lungs ablaze The fire reaching to my core Like I had been trapped and bound to pay. Can’t see where I’m heading Don’t know where you’ve gone Just trying to find you all along. The shadowy figures come to stay, As the luminous glow turns unbeknown. My body awakens to the night As I try to find a way out of this dream The vision returning to my eyes And darkness settles over me The sun isn’t rising The clouds are ahead The merciless cold infects as lead So whenever you see me losing life, You'll know that's right where I need to be. Someday I will find myself beneath that sky of gray. One day I will leave this hell behind and run away.

I’ve been drowned, I've been dry, I’ve been low, I’ve been high, I've been here, I've been there, I’ve been waiting. I’ve been lost, I’ve been found, A troubled man, I’ve been down, The wrong roads, Still I'm waiting for you. Girl I tried to find a way, Tried to find a way to your heart. Girl I’d die to find a way, Die to find a way to your heart. I tried to fly, but now I die. I’ve been drowned, Ive been dry, I’ve been low, I’ve been high, I've been here, I've been there, I’ve been waiting. I’ve been lost, I’ve been found, A troubled man, I’ve been down, The wrong roads, Still I'm waiting for you. Girl remember yesterday When I held the key to your heart? And now I’d die to find a way, To begin again, we’re back at the start. I tried to fly, but now I die. I’ve been drowned, Ive been dry, I’ve been low, I’ve been high, I've been here, I've been there, I’ve been waiting. I’ve been lost, I’ve been found, A troubled man, I’ve been down, The wrong roads, Still I'm waiting for you.

Flying through the air in the plane of my dreams, Sophisticated and collected but I’m raw at the seams. I got that seat back television, watching my team, But here I go my mind is wandering and switching the scene. Now on the ground, and my limo awaits, I shed my pitch-black shades as I swag through the gate. Don’t even wait, door opens and the windows opaque, Driver throwing down the gas and forgetting the brake. Sun flowing in brilliant and bold, Looking like another idea chasing after the gold. The vision fades leaving nothing for my eyes to behold, I’m under pressure looking for another glimmer of hope. I’m on my way out, it’s going to be right I got it locked down, that’s what it look like. And now I’m slipping back, into the dark of night, Looks like my dreaming is blurring lines and blocking sight. It’s another reality (when the sun goes down) Nothing like I’ve ever seen (when the lights fade out) Not sure what I should believe (whispers all around) Just trying to find us, you and me (when the sun goes down) Frame two, paint it purple with bronze: Royal blood flowing from my veins, I’m acting Lebron. I’m headstrong, walk into the room they playing my song I’m in position for the line taking over the throne. That’s right, I’ma do what I will. When the time comes right I’m moving in for the kill. I’ma cut down defectors, liars who know, Throw a glance at the coroner to misdiagnose. Palace crumbling, it covers the ground I’m in the third dream level, and it’s tumbling down Dom Cobb on the kick and then I’m coming around I see the light it’s flooding over while the chaos resounds. I’m on my way out, it’s going to be right I got it locked down, that’s what it look like. And now I’m slipping back, into the dark of night, Looks like my dreaming is blurring lines and blocking sight. It’s another reality (when the sun goes down) Nothing like I’ve ever seen (when the lights fade out) Not sure what I should believe (whispers all around) Just trying to find us, you and me (when the sun goes down)

Not the Same 04:04
Girl, am I not enough for you? I stand by my word, I’ll give you anything. Girl promise me one thing: Don’t leave, no matter how tempting The future looks apart from me. Don’t walk further down that road, Loving will not meet you there, Don’t matter if the pain shows. I’ll hold your head to cry. Don’t go further down that road, Resurrect the loving that we knew not too long ago. I’ll hold you there tonight. The moon is rising in your eyes Hiding sorrow held deep inside. The sun is setting on your face Reflecting golden days of grace. I’m not the same. Girl, ask of me anything. Hesitate not, what do you want from me? I'd give my all for you. Girl, I’ll promise you one thing. I’ll stay strong for you if you’ll let me, Commit myself to you. Don’t walk further down that road, Love is waiting for you right here, I'll never let go. I'd hold your head to cry. Don't go further down that road, I am not about to acknowledge the fact that you're gone. I'd hold you near tonight. The moon is rising in your eyes Hiding sorrow held deep inside. The sun is setting on your face Reflecting golden days of grace. I’m not the same. The moon arises in my eyes, Another vision passes by, Now baby what do I do? My heart it beats and then I come to realize That all I ever wanna do is be with you I’m not the same, girl.

Melancholia 03:19
Theres a place I know To where I go And my freedom stands alone. And nobody goes To this place that I know To the space that I’ve finally called home. And my company They’re not close to me They’re atypically hard to conceive. See from my intrigue Find my heart it bleeds And my brainchilds, they give me disease. Girl, you know I’ve gotta go now So get on out the door now, go. See I’m just tryin to save my soul now Try to save yourself now, go. There are many things, I should've told you earlier But now we're stuck in this situation. So go, get on out the door girl Try to save your own world, go. There’s a time knew Back in my youth There were feelings I had to refuse. And nobody knew About the love that grew About the flames that wouldn’t consume. Now remains are gone And I’ve all but won It’s the animal I have become. See me as deranged, Lock my heart in a cage. I am never going to find an escape . Here I am again, Take my hand again, Walk with me through the dark.

Stars 03:25
In the light of the day Or the moon I would say I belong to you. Girl and when you're afraid I will come save the day I'll be there for you. So remember the day and the night we were made Girl you know it's true. Situation's appraised And our hearts set ablaze You're the one I choose. She says I have stars in my eyes, and they're easy to find All she's gotta do is look at me. And when she smiles I'm fine, 'cause this women is mine Ain't that the way that it's supposed to be? Cue the film a couple years In the big city here Hardly know what to do. To be perfectly clear I will not disappear I hold onto you. Girl relinquish your fear I am trying not to hear Doubts are not the truth. In a city by the sea We are learning to breathe I belong to you. She says I have stars in my eyes, and they're easy to find All she's gotta do is look at me. And when she smiles I'm fine, 'cause this women is mine Ain't that the way that it's supposed to be? Girl remember the night and the day we were made.
