Follow me
In and around your head
We'll journey on through
What you feel inside
And it's calling you on and on
Knowing that you've waited
All your life
Follow me
Into this wonderland
And you'll discover
What you know is right
And it's calling you on and on (and on)
Knowing that you've waited
All your life
Calling you on and on
Knowing that you've waited for it
All your life
Calling you on and on (and on)
Knowing that you've waited
All your life
Calling you on and on
Knowing that you've waited for it
All your life

Let the Lightflow In
03:15
|

It's time to get up and face the day
Don't try to fight those feelings you know are inside
You want to cry, but you don't want to shed any tears
Want to scream, but you want to hide behind your fears
Let it out, let the rain run down
Fall onto your hands and knees, your body on the groud
You'll hold out, but there's no reason to hold in
There are remedies around besides your cigarettes and gin
Look around, see this invisible war
It's here, why else would you be lying here on the floor?
Listen loud, there's a nightlight here to save you
That calls to every one of us when we are broken in two
Let it in, let the lifelight win
Don't fall deeper in this trap that you're already lying in
You'll hold out, but there's no reason to hold in
Look, here comes the light, crawl out of the dark and
Let the lightflow in

Lost

Do you mind, I've misplaced myself again
Do you understand my meaning?
Where am I, I don't know, but you do
Could you tell me where I'm going?
There you go, you're (I'm) on a roll
(You're so lost)
I'm totally lost
And I'm dreaming of why
(What you searching for?)
And it's something so far beyond my reach
(Dream, dream) Du du (Dream, dream)
I'm still searching, but I may not see
(You may not see just so clearly as you think)
And I'm longing to find the way back home
'Cause I'm lost
Do you mind, I've misplaced myself again
Could you tell me where I'm going?
Close your eyes, spin in circles for a while
Point me in the right direction please?
There you go, you're (I'm) on a roll
(You're so lost)
I'm totally lost
And I'm dreaming of why
(What you searching for?)
And it's something so far beyond my reach
(Dream, dream) Du du (Dream, dream)
I'm still searching, but I may not see
(You may not see just so clearly as you think)
And I'm longing to find the way back home
'Cause I'm lost

Blinding Me
03:15
|
|||
|
Hello again, do you know who I am?
It's so nice to hear your voice again
Cause I've been looking in the mirror lately
And I still think that I'm torn in a million pieces
It's hard to say if it's give or if it's take
But I know it's only seeing
And what do I see, please tell me
The dark is overwhelming
But when I close my eyes, I see paradise
And my eyes are blinding me
I used to think that I would sail the seven seas
And take a break from this reality
Then again when reality's hardly a reality
It's hard to see when you're dreaming
And what do I see, please tell me
The dark is overwhelming
But when I close my eyes, I see paradise
And my eyes are blinding me

The Falling Sparrow
04:00
|

|
Time, like an arrow
Floats in our minds
Down, the falling sparrow
Do you see how he flies?
So do I
Time, like a river
Flows from your veins
And life, like an iceberg
Still remains the same
There was a time when life was young
Since then we've fought a thousand wars
The happy daggers sing their song
And they complain that life is short
Gone, like the marrow
That seeps from your bones
Down, the falling sparrow
Weeps and he groans
There was a time when life was young
Since then we've fought a thousand wars
The fallen martyrs sing their song
They cry in vain that life is short
Time, like an arrow
Floats in our minds
Down, the falling sparrow
Do you see how he flies?
So do I

Let It Find You
04:25

My love
Where are you?
I'm falling so endlessly
Like I always do
My hollow heart
If you have love
Deep inside you
If you have love
Let it find you
One day
Will you see?
You throw away the memories
That hide away the truth
My hollow heart
If you have love
Deep inside you
If you want love
Let it find you

These Four Walls
03:52
|

|
Go to sleep, softly now
Trust me, surrender your heart
Go to sleep, fast asleep
These four walls
Listen to me
So soft, so sweet
Listen to me
So soft, so sweet
Games we play, they feel so soft
Things we let in through these four walls
Let me in, won't you let me in? Let me in.

Victory
03:55
|

|
There's a light beam
Coming from the chimney
And the chimney sweep said that
You were the one that I always wanted
And how could I forget that?
There's a symphony
Coming down the railway
And it seems to be moving
Quite slowly.
Victory, will you sing a song for me?
Cause I've been waiting far too long to be with you
Rollercoaster
Of a frequented memory
But I'm sure
I'm over that now
Victory, will you sing a song for me?
Cause I've been waiting far too long to be with you
Victory, can you sing a song for me?
Cause I've been waiting far too long to be with you

Song of the Open Road
03:25
|
|||
|
This is my song of the open road,
Advice for the young, memories for the old
Many stories go untold
That's why I'm singing my song of the open road.
On foot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy and free, the world before me,
The path before me can lead me anywhere I want to go.
This is my song of the open road,
Advice for the young, memories for the old
Many stories go untold
That's why I'm singing my song of the open road
This road will end some day,
So you must take the better way
Don't waste another day
This road will end some day,
So you must take the better way
To immortality
This is my song of the open road,
Advice for the young, memories for the old
Many stories go untold
That's why I'm singing my song of the open road
Strong and content I travel the open road

Lay Your Hands On Me
06:16
|

|
Sat in the corner of the garden grill
With the plastic flowers on the windowsill
No more miracles, loaves and fishes
Been so busy with the washing of the dishes
Reaction level's much too high, I can do without the stimuli
I'm living way beyond my ways and means
Living in the zone of the in-betweens
I can see the flashes on the frozen ocean
Static charge of the cold emotion
Watched on by the distant eyes
Watched on by the silent, hidden spies
But still the warmth flows through me
And I sense you know me well
No luck, no golden chances
No mitigating circumstances now
It's only common sense
There are no accidents around here
I am willing, lay your hands on me
I am ready, lay your hands on me
I believe, lay your hands on me, over me
Working in gardens, thornless roses,
Fat men play with their garden hoses
Poolside laughter has a cynical bite,
Sausage speared by the cocktail satellite
I walk away from from light and sound,
Down stairways leading underground
But still the warmth flows through me
And I sense you know me well
It's only common sense
There are no accidents around here
I am willing, lay your hands on me
I am ready, lay your hands on me
I believe, lay your hands on me, over me
Over me

You
You're sitting on a wall
Do you think that you might fall
Down to the ground
You
You think that you're immune
But you will find out soon enough
Soon enough
When something falls apart
How do you even start
To put the pieces back again?
And will it ever be
The way it used to be
And will you dream again?

Through the Deep, Dark Valley
by The Oh Hellos
supported by 6 fans who also own “Invisible War”
This album makes me want to run in a valley, dance near a bonfire, and repent for all my sins at the same time.

[MAIDEN], Mother, Crone (EP)
by Jordan Reyne
supported by 4 fans who also own “Invisible War”
A lot of the music in her live set came from these three EPs. They were done as a series exploring the different stages of womanhood. The music is powerful and very dark. You can also find 'Shelter' on here which I think is my favourite of her tracks.
