So much madness makes divine sense
In the face of this undying absence.
Runs like poetry wouldn't you agree?
Their sense looks like stark racing madness
In light of a sadness beyond days.
Wouldn't you agree? Wouldn't you agree?
(Chorus)
Assent. Assent,
And they will declare you sane, let you be.
If you cannot repent,
They'll haul you out in chains, wait and see.
Out in chains, oh you'll see.
She dances dangerously along the shore,
The overflow of time filling her shoes...
dangerously along the shore
Her overflowing mind riddled with the use of
Too much time on the sand,
Too much time on her hands.
Even as she says she's never seen the sea
She dances along the water earnestly
To a song only she can hear sung by
Sirens only she can see.
Even as she says she's never seen the face of god
She says she's always known his seasons,
Claims she’s got a ticket for a front row seat in heaven.
Chorus
She dances dangerously along the shore,
The overflow of time filling her shoes...
dangerously along the shore
The overflowing mind riddled with the use...
Too much time on the sand,
Too much time on her hands.
Runs like poetry,
Wouldn't you agree?

Bright Side of the Line

Did you think I didn't see you standing there so small
In your perpetual rain?
Did you think I didn't see you standing there so still
Under your dark cloud again?
You were falling, disappearing in it all,
And I was calling your name,
Trying to reach you.
You really think I couldn't feel you going down, drowning,
And no one could save you?
You can't think my heart’s not breaking
Given the love I'd given, life I gave you.
You were falling disappearing in it all,
And I was calling your name,
Trying to reach you.
(Chorus)
I’m pleading, I’m bleeding,
My heart needs to be redeemed.
I’m begging on my knees,
Don’t leave me here with echoed screams.
Answer me. Answer me;
How will I ever find,
How will I ever find my way back to the bright side,
the bright side of the line.
In the weight of your darkness you couldn't see me by your side,
Holding you together,
In the drowning sounds of your pain you couldn't hear my loss,
Not knowing it's forever.
You had falling, disappearing in it all
Holler's a whisper all the same,
All the calling, all the trying, you had fallen,
And I’m crying your name
Chorus
Bring me back, help me to the bright side of the line
Bring me back to the bright side of the line.
The bright side of the line

Sanctuary

I can see you're lost
Buffeted and tossed in the squall.
Each day comes at such a cost
And now you’re heading for a free fall.
(Chorus)
Come on inside
I'll be your quiet.
I will be, I will be
Sanctuary.
You can lay your head here
Forget about it all
And find some sleep tonight
I'll be here to wipe your tears
And stay as long as you like.
Chorus
You don't have to be no one for nobody
You don't have to be nowhere at all
You say that you can't find the light
Don't have the strength, don’t have the fight to try
Come on inside...
Chorus (extended)
Your place to run and hide
Your refuge tonight
Let me be your quiet
I will be sanctuary.

Standing My Own Ground

I didn't walk into the waves.
I didn't just let go to see.
Do you know where I am?
With my feet are upon the sand
I’m torn by what I don’t believe.
Although you’re gone still some will say,
In time I’ll see brighter days
In time I’ll carry on,
Face another dawn,
I’ll find a happy place.
(Chorus)
What they don't know
With my eye on the waves,
And a heart that wants to drown,
I’m doing all I can to breathe
All I can to stay
I’m standing my own ground,
I didn’t follow where you've gone.
I’m not gonna give it up just yet
I’m never gonna fold,
Not gonna lose my hold now,
While I’m living on the edge.
Chorus
Oh I’m standing my own ground
With my feet upon the sand
I'm doing all I can
All I can to stay.
Oh I’m standing my own ground
With my feet upon the sand
I'm doing all I can
All I can to stay.

Another World

Just counting the minutes to the end of the day,
Till time unwinds and the grind melts away,
When I let go the weight of this world falls from my shoulders.
Just holding it together in this empty place,
Till I hit the lights and the darkness fades,
Rescued and ready for my escape.
(Chorus)
Take me to another world,
Where no one else can find me,
Turn me on, be my guide,
I’ll leave it all behind me,
Take me, take me to another world.
Oh take me, take me to another world.
Oh what a ride, the thrill is too brief,
Coming around, still feels like a dream,
Imagination, my only plaything.
Knowing my freedom’s ready and ripe,
The taste of it’s song brings me to life,
Breathe it in, turn my eyes to the sky.
Chorus
Love saves me again,
Light unfolds and bends,
Love tastes sweetest when,
I fly free again.
Chorus

He's everything to her, her reason to be,
No matter how gray the day,
She’ll return to his arms,
Safe and warm, where he takes her away.
(Chorus)
Oooo, he’s gonna give her the moon,
He’s gonna give her the stars,
No matter where they are,
It’s the right place to be
When the sun ain't shining
When the sun ain't shining.
Like a hot air balloon in a golden sky,
He lifts her up for a ride,
He covers her with love
And they can’t wait, can’t wait for the night…
Chorus
She lives to see his smile,
And he makes her feel so wild,
Pulls her closer to the fire,
And gives her everything every time.
Ooo he’s gonna give her the moon
Gonna give her the stars
No matter where they are.
Oh he’s gonna give her the world
And every piece of his heart
Everywhere they are
It’s the right place to be
When the sun ain’t shining.
