Icarus 03:26
Fire in the morning sky, Shining down my prison walls. If I could leave I would get by, Feathered wax won’t let me fall. Heaven, what a maze I’m in, Must get off this rock I’m on. My father told me I could fly, But feathered wax won’t last too long. And so I dream of it, Lift my body to the sky. They warned me not to get too close, Feathered wax won’t let me fly. What if I fly? And if I fly too high… What if I fly? And if I fly, What if I fall? Fire in the morning sky, Shining down my prison walls.

Teardrops 03:29
I’ve been flying so high, I’ve been falling to hell. What they see is a lie But I hide it so well. Never gave me your time, Turned your back when I fell. What they see is a smile Cause I hide it so well. I fall a million times, I look up to the sky, And oh that rain like Teardrops on my mind. I fall a million times, I look up to the sky And oh that rain like Teardrops on my mind. Cause I’m riding so high When I’m running from home. Leave the screaming behind All those things hid below. I fall a million times, I look up to the sky, And oh that rain like Teardrops on my mind.

Stay 04:47
Stay You came through like crashing waves, I came down like salt and spray. We could never understand, Now we hold explosions in our hands. And I don’t wanna Stay. We never had a chance You beat me down and tied my hands Now I have to walk away From you, coming down like crashing waves. And I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna Stay. You come back for me again And you stab me in the back. Now we will never understand And we hold explosions in our hands. And I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna Stay.

Drowning 04:44
Fine lines in your face say it all, You shut your eyes, just to watch me fall. Got my demons that I’m wrestling. Give my all just to give it all in. And ooh, I think it’s too late Don’t worry ‘bout me, I will never save face And ooh, I think it’s the end, Head’s underwater and I’m Drowning, Drowning. Hear the voices filtering in, I block the sound, scream as loud as I can. Don’t blink, just become a machine. You can’t die if you’re still feeling. And ooh, I think it’s too late Don’t worry ‘bout me, I will never save face And ooh, I think I’ll head home. Head’s underwater and I’m alone. And ooh I think it’s too late, Don’t worry ‘bout me I will never save face, And ooh, I think it’s the end Head’s underwater and I’m Drowning, Drowning Maybe I’ll try it all again, The feeling won’t stop whispering. I’ll see your face just before I rise, Buy my time, I will never die. And ooh, I think it’s too late Don’t worry ‘bout me, I will never save face And ooh, I think I’ll head home. Head’s underwater and I’m alone. And ooh I think it’s too late, Don’t worry ‘bout me I will never save face, And ooh, I think it’s the end Head’s underwater and I’m Drowning, Drowning, Drowning, Drowning, Drowning…

Ties 04:33
I didn’t want to leave you, I didn’t want you to leave. I didn’t want to need you, Found myself with all the grief. Break away, cut the Ties, In the crowd your face is just a passerby. I said I’d wait forever, But you just take your time. As I sit here thinking, You’re always on my mind Break away, cut the Ties, In the crowd your face is just a passerby Break away, cut the Ties, In the crowd your face is just a passerby. Break away, break away, break away, break away… Break away, cut the Ties, In the crowd your face is just a passerby.

Persephone 04:12
You were born a goddess heir Heaven and Earth could not compare. I knew that I had to make you mine. Feet that dance like rain in spring Across my heart, I’ll be your king And you’ll be safe, my darling I’ll be kind. Persephone, Come to me. Persephone, Say you love me! In the night I come for you, Chariots and steeds of blue, I knew that we had to run and hide. Down where only Death can go, Styx and souls, the river flows. And you’ll be safe, for you will be my bride. Persephone, Come to me. Persephone, Say you love me, oh! Say you love, Say you love me! Sweetheart, I can’t let you go. Your home is here with me below. And if your mother calls for you, Come back to me, Persephone. Say you love, Say you love me! Say you love me!

Human 04:48
Now I show what’s underneath. Do I feel? And do I breathe? And it’s all a little hazy, a little grey. And all the lights go out and the colors fade. I can make them shine all on my own. Turn the colors up and let them show. And I need this all to prove I’m still alive, To prove this life is not a test this time. If I fall down will it break me, Will I bend or bleed? Am I Human? I won’t wear your mask, I won’t bear your chain. I may have no heart, but I’m not your game. And I’ll smile for you while you have your fun, But leave you in your cage when I run If I fall down, will this break me? Will I bend or bleed? Human? Human. Shed my skin, Second soul, Learn to hide it all below. Human, Human, Human Human….

Pompeii 04:25
They said, the Walls were coming down. They said, Walls were coming down. It shook the sky, it spit a fire red. It shook the sky, coming down, they said. And I stayed, and I stood, and I did not hide, I closed my eyes. They ran, the Walls were coming down. They ran, Walls were coming down. It burned the Earth and all we had. It burned coming down, they ran. And I stayed, and I stood, and I did not hide, I closed my eyes. And I stayed, and I stood, and I did not hide, I closed my eyes.

Phoenix 05:22
He said, “You got a lot of nerve, Don’t walk away, girl, ain’t your turn.” He said I got a lot to learn, But I know what I deserve. Heroes seem to have it all, but there’s still room to fall. Once and for all, I rise. Once and for all, I fly. Once and for all. He said I got a lot to say, But I don’t listen anyway. His pedestal is overturned, Oh, it’s more than he deserves. Angels always have to fall and Hell can have them all. Once and for all, I rise. Once and for all, I fly. I’ll end it all, I’ll get mine. Once and for all, I rise. Once and for all. I will rise from the flame, Like a Phoenix hurricane. I’ll feel it all, I’ll end it all, you’ll feel it all. Once and for all, I rise Once and for all, I fly. I’ll end it all, oh, I’ll get mine, Once and for all, I rise, Once and for all. Once and for all, once and for all, once and for all, once and for all.
